Hearing Ian Song's question, Nina Feng didn't reply. She just smiled.
"I understand now!"
Ian immediately realized that Vivian Ouyang, Ruby Nie, and Sherry Summers no longer existed in this world.
As for Ruby Nie, Ian had only met her a handful of times. Once at an auction fighting over a King-grade technique, and again when he sold King-grade techniques on the street. Later, he sold her a copy of the Supreme Sunflame Canon for a couple taels of gold, and she used it to break through to the Sun-Soul Realm.
Afterward, when Ian was besieged by experts from the Zhu Family, Ruby Nie rushed over to help. Even when facing overwhelming odds, she never backed down.
After that, they never saw each other again.
Then there was Sherry Summers. Their first meeting was also at an auction, where she was the auctioneer. Later, with Ian's help, she managed to secure her footing in the Summers clan. After Ian left the Mystic Sun Domain, they never met again.
Vivian Ouyang left an even deeper impression on Ian. She was a disciple of Myriad Flower Valley, always veiled in white gauze and fond of calling herself 'this fairy.'
Along the way, the two experienced a lot together. Ian could even sense that she had developed feelings for him.
He never expected that their parting on the Insect Horde battlefield would turn out to be their last.
