Bai Su's sudden words caught Han Zhan off guard.
Because it didn't make sense.
Han Zhan's strength was at the Tier Six Peak, and at that ti, Bai Su should have still been an ordinary person without awakening.
This was the reason why Han Zhan had the confidence and courage to venture alone into the backstage of the theater.
When Bai Su said, "You've co," Han Zhan distinctly felt that the whole world in front of him flickered violently for a mont.
This scene was not in the original mory!
Conflicting mories disrupted the entire Consciousness World.
The screen in front of Han Zhan suddenly twisted and flickered like a signal-impaired old TV.
mory synchronization was about to fail!
Han Zhan was in a ntal battle, and he did not make a sound.
Bai Su, seeing no response from the other side of the screen, continued speaking to herself:
"Li Tugui, didn't you say you wanted to serve the country and the people and didn't want to talk about trivial romantic entanglents? So, I'm getting married tomorrow, and you co back now?"
Han Zhan: "!!!"
The sudden influx of information almost left him stunned.
What did I hear? Aunt Bai's sudden lancholy tone sounded like she was speaking to a heartbreaker who had let her down. So, Elder Bing is that heartbreaker?!
So, this was the relationship between you two!
A big shock landed on his face, making Han Zhan even ignore the flickering world around him.
He still did not speak.
After Bai Su finished speaking, she fell silent again.
After an unknown period, a sigh ca from the other side of the screen.
Bai Su laughed at herself and muttered.
"Thinking about it, soone as stubborn as you, who never even thought of remarrying even after your Contracted Spirit died a hundred years ago, who focuses only on your plans for governance, how could you possibly co back."
"In the end, it's nothing but wishful thinking."
When Bai Su said this, the previously flashing Consciousness World stabilized once again.
Because Han Zhan "did not speak," which matched the expectation in the mory, the mory synchronization crisis was averted!
The brave die starving while the cautious die safely; Han Zhan, in taking the risk of deviating from his mory role's course of action, indeed discovered a new secret.
From Bai Su's few words, he had already pieced together a relationship between the characters.
First is Elder Bing (Li Tugui), whose Contracted Spirit died a hundred years ago, so he now uses the Ruler, which should be an inherited Contracted Spirit Ability.
Elder Bing indeed has a strong sense of duty to the nation and the people, or he wouldn't have given up the prestigious position of Li Family Patriarch, those accessible powers, and decisively entered the City of Extre Evil, staying here for so long.
Bai Su likes Li Tugui; this could be observed from her tone of voice.
That kind of resentful sorrow, a love that can't be had; in the Consciousness World, such emotions can't be faked.
So even if Bai Su was going to get married tomorrow, even to soone as noble as Chen Zhongxia, the Alliance Leader of the Anti-Xia Alliance and City Lord of Buried Sword City, there remained a place in her heart for soone else.
Li Tugui not appearing on the eve of the wedding matched Bai Su's mory world.
Our Bai Su was truly steadfast, assuredly not doing anything like wearing a wedding dress on the eve of the wedding, in the bridal chamber, the whole night; these things would absolutely not exist.
The relationship between Li Tugui and Bai Su was clear now.
So what about Bai Su and Chen Zhongxia?
Chen Zhongxia was no eligible bachelor; he was not just an Awakened but also had a Contracted Spirit, otherwise, he wouldn't hold such a high position.
Then, why did he marry Bai Su?
Was it because of love?
With new questions in mind, Han Zhan quietly exited the backstage of the theater.
Bai Su was about to take the stage soon; staying here wouldn't yield any more clues, it was better to leave first and search elsewhere.
Just as Han Zhan left the backstage, he suddenly felt a prickly sensation on his back, a feeling of being dangerously watched.
Before he could turn around, a cold voice already rang in his ears.
"Who are you? Sneaking around here, what are you planning to do?"
The voice was sowhat young, as if not fully matured yet, but the chill was very familiar.
Han Zhan turned, and indeed saw a young girl, about eighteen or nineteen, standing behind him, staring at him coldly and cautiously.
It was young Gongyang Jin!
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old Gongyang Jin was already a great beauty, but with an icy deanor that could be described as an ice queen.
With an expression that suggested 'do not approach strangers,' one could only admire her from afar, getting too close might risk frostbite from the coldness.
"You have a strangely familiar feel about you," Gongyang Jin suddenly frowned and said.
This is Bai Su's mory World; besides parts related to the main line mory, other relevant mories are derivative, based on the original mories.
To make an analogy:
Bai Su putting on makeup in the theater's backstage room is a real mory.
But Han Zhan appearing behind the landscape screen and triggering those words from Bai Su are not real events, but rather are derivatives based on Bai Su's mory, emotions, and other real elents from the Consciousness World itself.
This is the power of the Spiritual Awareness Pill.
Han Zhan's encounter with Gongyang Jin near the theater was because, in Bai Su's mory, Gongyang Jin did appear near the theater that day.
And Gongyang Jin's personality, temperant, and tone of voice, Bai Su's mory must have included those too.
Thus, this conversation occurred.
But Bai Su's mory certainly would not have this specific dialogue stored.
To get back to the point.
Han Zhan never expected that he would one day be blocked at an intersection by an eighteen-year-old Gongyang Jin, glaring at him.
"You have traces of Sword Qi on you, you are a Sword Cultivator!" When Gongyang Jin said the words Sword Cultivator, whether it was an illusion or not, Han Zhan felt her hostility towards him seed to lessen significantly.
"I am a student of Li Tugui." In a mont of inspiration, Han Zhan lied.
"Li Tugui? The scholar who likes to carry around a Ruler and set rules for everyone? I thought he went to develop a new city."
A scholar who likes to carry around a Ruler, setting rules for everyone.
Han Zhan got another new character setting for Elder Bing from "Gongyang Jin's" mouth.
Facing Gongyang Jin's renewed skepticism, Han Zhan shook his head and said, "I just ca to congratulate Bai Su and relay a ssage from my ntor."
"Indeed, I heard long ago about Bai Su's feelings for Li Tugui." At this point, Gongyang Jin suddenly let out a cold snort.
"I don't even know what my father, a dignified General of the Anti-Xia Alliance, sees in her, a perforr whom even a scholar doesn't care for."
"Choosing to marry her on the eve of the Slaughter Battlefield, truly perforrs ruin the country, it seems it's all true!"
Judging by Gongyang Jin's deanor and words.
It turns out she's opposed to this marriage.
