Gu Sansi looked at Sui Yi, smiling faintly.
"Forcing to admit that I’ve resented you all these years... doesn’t do you much good."
"I just wanted to see if you were actually mad at ..."
Sui Yi sighed.
Gu Sansi caressed the teacup for a long ti, saying: "And what if I say I wasn’t?"
"Then you were," Sui Yi’s eyes were calm as she poured a cup of tea for Gu Sansi.
Gu Sansi watched as Sui Yi poured the tea, her expression sowhat deep, and it was unclear what she was thinking in those eyes.
"You used to never pour tea for others... at least no one dared to let you pour tea for them."
Her tone was light as if recalling sothing.
"You have fallen."
Sui Yi put down the teapot, "You’re not like the others..."
"Not different?" Gu Sansi chuckled softly: "There’s nothing particularly different. Even as Cangwu’s spiritual being, from the mont of my creation, I was always with you... day by day, year by year, never parting. Yet in the end, didn’t you abandon everything? Nine thousand cycles of reincarnation, forgetting what should be forgotten, and what should not be forgotten..."
"But you didn’t bla ."
Sui Yi’s abrupt remark made Gu Sansi’s words suddenly pause.
"Otherwise, you wouldn’t have sent into the ti tunnel in the end, escaping a crisis... and thus arriving in this world."
Whether Gu Sansi was human or a Jing Ling, even the current Sui Yi couldn’t see through it, because the power wasn’t enough to fathom. But at this mont, both she and Gu Sansi exhibited a transcendental aura.
A witch, a dignified Cangwu.
The true dialogues between the two were separated by over nine thousand years.
Yet they were so unfamiliar and detached, as if there was an insurmountable gap.
Sui Yi thought this gap was inevitably her fault,
so her deanor had been very gentle all along.
And Gu Sansi....
"You’re wrong."
"In the end, it wasn’t who helped you avoid the erasure by the Ninefold Demon Tower."
Sui Yi was startled,
"Perhaps even if I told you who it was, it wouldn’t do you any good."
If you rember nothing, what difference does knowing make, it would only add to your troubles.
So Sui Yi didn’t ask Jiang Chenyu, nor did she ask her.
It was as if that Jiaoqu tempted with secrets, yet Sui Yi still turned away.
Why?
Because the forr didn’t want, and the latter was unwilling.
Didn’t want to use a blank mory to ponder the past.
Didn’t want to shield a guilty criminal with curious secrets.
Making choices decisively.
She had always been like this.
Indeed.
Sui Yi didn’t ask further, and Gu Sansi didn’t pursue the topic either, rely said; "If you’re willing... I can help you recover your mories, I control ti anyway..."
But after she finished speaking, she just sipped her tea, and when she looked again at Sui Yi, she saw an extre calmness.
Calmness like a still, dead water.
"You really aren’t willing."
Gu Sansi put down the cup, got up, and walked to the window.
"I have forgotten... back when you were a High Priest, you never longed for the power and glory brought by this identity."
Sui Yi lightly pressed a hand against her brow.
"You’re so persistent in wanting to rember the past?"
Gu Sansi turned around, the sunlight passing through her and through the glass again.
"If without those mories of that year, if you can’t rember nine thousand years, and can’t rember before nine thousand years, you’re not the High Priest anymore."
"If you are not the High Priest, how can you match Cangwu..."
The light was clear, her body like silver, reflecting the vast space, the silver was drizzling, like stars scattered.
The voice was so gentle.
"And if you don’t want to be the High Priest anymore"
"Then we’re destined to be enemies."
Obsession, Gu Sansi’s obsession was to bring back that High Priest.
And if Sui Yi was unwilling, then inevitably she would beco an enemy.
Completely confirming Sui Yi’s previous judgnt.
So...
"I have never resisted being the High Priest"
"Just like whether you’re Cangwu or Gu Sansi, it makes no difference to ..."
"If you forcibly take back with your lost form, you will dissipate like smoke and clouds"
"I don’t want to part again"
Gu Sansi’s expression paused, turned her head to look.
As if seeing Sui Yi’s helplessness and tenderness.
She was silent, then turned her head.
"When you rember, call Cangwu again."
"Until then, you’re Sui Yi, and I’m Gu Sansi."
The silver light fragnted, rging into the glass, turning into a stream of light....
Sui Yi watched her leave, as the stopped ti in the room faded away.
"Huh? Sui Yi? You’re here!"
Sui Yi gave them a slight smile.
Then she noticed a mark fading from the principal’s neck.
She pressed her lips together.
They were eavesdropping.
anwhile, silver light fell on the rooftop of a teaching building at Beijing University.
With a flick of her sleeve, Gu Sansi appeared and saw Jiang Chenyu leaning against the railing.
"An internationally renowned doctor visits Beijing University, and yet there’s no dia coverage... Is it a secret visit? Or did they co here specifically to eavesdrop on others’ secrets?"
Gu Sansi said casually, and Jiang Chenyu gave a gentle smile.
"Actually, you’ve long understood that she’s been searching for her past all along... yet you insist on confirming it once more."
"If she refuses, what would you do? Really cooperate with God’s Jasper or Shura or the forces that arise in the future? Forcing her to grow, forcing out a true High Priest? If so, you should cooperate with , Lord Cangwu."
Gu Sansi glanced sideways at her, then looked opposite to the rooftop of the research institute. Hands behind her back, her light robe fluttered slightly.
"Your stance is also quite odd, previously hesitant, now deeply resolved?"
Jiang Chenyu didn’t answer the question; instead, she asked: "If she refuses...."
"If she refuses... I will set her free."
Jiang Chenyu was sowhat surprised but did not show it.
"Heh~ after all, you’re still the lifelong companion, Cangwu Mirror. Ultimately, you are on her side; otherwise, you wouldn’t have helped her in her ninth reincarnation, losing your essence, wandering in chaotic space-ti for nine thousand years... finally forsaking your essence to enter this world."
Is it mockery or sarcasm?
Gu Sansi also smiled.
"But ultimately, the person who helped her was not , wasn’t it? Compared to him and Shen Zhiyue..."
She suddenly fell silent, and Jiang Chenyu frowned.
Shen Zhiyue, this na is taboo.
No matter nine thousand years later, Sui Yi remains consistent with only two taboos.
One is the man she defied everything for and even herself, whom she adored; the other is...
Shen Zhiyue.
And Jun Yuqing can bring it up because she’s already forgotten, showing no signs of rembering.
But Shen Zhiyue cannot.
Others can ntion God’s Jasper, but ntioning Shen Zhiyue is absolutely intolerable.
That’s the untouchable taboo.
This point is extrely clear to Gu Sansi.
They exchanged silent glances and turned their heads. Through several hundred ters, they saw Sui Yi standing by the floor-to-ceiling window in the building opposite, gazing at them from afar.
She must not have heard.
Yet the two inexplicably felt... hmm... guilty?
Perhaps not.
Either way, with tacit understanding, one turned into a stream of light and vanished, the other faded into a shadow and left.
anwhile, Sui Yi felt uneasy.
Why are those two running... are they collectively gossiping about ?
Sui Yi took a special route and passed the internal evaluations of Beijing University to acquire her graduate certificate, then attached herself under the archaeology team with Old Master Ye and others, although Sui Yi had little chance of going on expeditions with common folks. Nevertheless, sharing resources, coupled with Sui Yi’s abilities, ford a complent.
At least Sui Yi now got permission to access so historical archaeological materials.
If not for Sui Yi inheriting present resources at Beijing University, even if she had imnse wealth, those old professors wouldn’t possibly leak these precious materials to unrelated outsiders.
It is one of the reasons for Sui Yi coming to Beijing University. Despite her comings and goings being elusive, students from countless generations who’ve changed faces are familiar with her legend, hearing she ca to handle academic matters. However, upon seeing her from afar, upon witnessing her from afar again, not a single person dared to approach.
Perhaps that’s what they an by aura.
In the afternoon, in a vast, bright, and warm practice room, the tables and small coffee table were filled with abundant refreshnts. Yhan Qingwu, Ye Changan, and others were practicing; anwhile, in the living room, Sui Yi gave Pu Qinghan a ridian and constitution checkup - essentially pulse-checking, but more accurately her using Magnetic Sensation directly to see through..
Pu Qinghan thought it was quite serious and troubleso, but after Sui Yi withdrew her hand, she looked around: "Here?"
"You’re already here."
"Uh... so what do I still need to do?"
"Hmm?" Sui Yi looked at her.
Pu Qinghan thought for a mont, saying; "I heard Gong Jiu and others say, usually requires... undressing"
Considering she’s an actress, the queen of the film industry, she wouldn’t be shy.
"Uh... what nonsense do they usually talk about?"
Sui Yi said helplessly, "No need."
"Is it dissection?... "
"...."
Sui Yi brushed past Pu Qinghan, flicking her fingers across her brow, causing slight pain, leaving Pu Qinghan bewildered and instinctively touching her forehead, only to see Sui Yi already stepping into the kitchen,
"Young age, yet thinking so much... no wonder your acting is great."
Sui Yi smiled as she opened the cabinet; this cabinet was quite large, inside wasn’t just fridge-sized; it was even an independent freezing space, as Sui Yi waved her hand, many herbs flew out and landed on the counter.
Pu Qinghan knew she misunderstood and didn’t display embarrassnt, given her age, experiences, and not being as pure as a young girl; she walked over smiling, sitting on a bar stool, saying: "Is drinking dicine all it takes? Could you tell what is wrong with my constitution? Isn’t it a useless physique?"
"In this world, there’s no absolute useless physique. The so-called ultimate uselessness is nothing more than blocked ridians, but ridians can be opened..."
Sui Yi opened each pack of herbs ticulously collected and packed by Gong Jiu and others over the years.
"Once opened, you can cultivate?" Pu Qinghan asked.
"Yes, but I won’t help you."
Uh, Pu Qinghan felt surprised, yet knew Sui Yi surely had her reasons.
"You often tire from filming, working day and night off schedule, and your acquired constitution isn’t healthy. Forcibly opening your ridians would damage the foundation... better to use herbs to nurture slowly, gradually loosening blockages, which would be better for you."
However, Sui Yi also sought Pu Qinghan’s opinion: "If you’re not eager to cultivate quickly, I’d recomnd you choose dicine Cultivation."
