Time reversed to the moment when Jiang Wang and Zhao Rucheng parted ways.
Jiang Wang had walked the road to Mingde Hall countless times. He was especially familiar with all the eateries along the route, good and bad.
This was Fenglin City, the place where he had lived and cultivated for many years; walking in this city, he felt a sense of calm and peace that was hard to find elsewhere.
Because he was so relaxed, when that figure collided with him, he was unable to dodge in time.
No, perhaps he had tried his best to dodge, but still got hit.
The sensation from this collision was very strange because it wasn't the normal situation where they would be pushed apart by the impact. They didn't fall over because of their different grounding; instead, they stuck together.
That is to say, the collision seemed to have created a suction force rather than repulsion.
How bizarre!
