The Silence

As the silence lingered, Xu Feng found himself locked in a continuous scrutiny of the face before him. The resemblance was hauntingly precise, igniting a sense of familiarity that refused to dissolve.

Yet, amid this uncanny resemblance, a blurry contrast emerged. Xu Feng had encountered Xuan Muyang and Xuan Murong, the elder figures of the Xuan lineage, in person. However, their physical presence hadn't invoked the same feeling of connection or recognition that this ethereal figure did. 

It was as if this ghostly entity held a familiarity that surpassed blood ties.

The mystery deepened, posing yet more questions for Xu Feng to grapple with. Why did this ghostly figure strike a chord within him, unlike the living members of the Xuan family?
