Ning appeared on Earth, next to Ely who had been standing with eyes full of tears. The moment he returned, she jumped onto his embrace.
However, when she did embrace him, she left him immediately as a confused look appeared on her face. There was a contradiction in her expectation and reality which was making it hard for her to understand what was happening there.
"Did you manage to get away from him somehow?" Ely asked. She could tell that his cultivation base was far stronger than her own and his body was just as equally strong.
That was something that was only possible for the real Ning's body to be.
Ning shook his head. "He got me," he said. "He's probably taking me back to his world to start experimenting on me soon."
"Then…" she asked.
Ning explained what he had done in the end and how he had all but himself with him at the moment.
Ely gave him a blank stare as she asked, "Does that mean… you are a clone?"
