Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse Chapter 937 - 539: The Sister’s True Identity? (Part 3)

"Not used to it?" Li Wenxi couldn’t help but curl her lips and smile, "We’ve only known each other for a day, and you’re already used to calling sister-in-law?"

The streets of this city looked too much like the Earth from before, which genuinely relaxed Li Wenxi’s mood.

"A day? It’s not just a day..." Xu Ying muttered, "I’ve been calling you sister-in-law for more than three hundred years, it’s not sothing you can just change on a whim..."

"What? You’re speaking so softly, I didn’t hear you."

"Ah ah, nothing!" Xu Ying quickly changed the subject, pointing at the double statue about a kiloter away from them, "We’ll soon reach the bottom of the statue. When we get there, I’ll tell you the story of this statue!"

"Sure! The statue of Xu Xin is quite handso!"

"I’m very beautiful too! Anyway, sister-in-law, you can’t go up there recently, so let show you around while your brother is away. Then when he cos down, you can show him around!"

"This place is too big, I don’t have the ability to lead the way, you’ll have to do it then."

"Hmm... I might not have the chance..." Xu Ying murmured softly.

"Hmm? What?"

"I said, I don’t want to be a third wheel between you two. I’ll run as far away as I can then!"

...

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang exchanged a look, both seeing the understanding in each other’s eyes.

It was evident that they both thought of the sa possibility.

"...Could it be like that?" Xu Xin muttered to himself.

"It’s not impossible." Ji Chaoyang glanced at the Crystal Palace and said, "In the image you saw in that palace, you only saw yourself dissipating, but you didn’t see your sister disappearing, right?"

Xu Xin slowly nodded.

"...That’s true."

"She knows the purpose of the Crystal City, she knows your abilities, and even... she can control your abilities. If she were a survivor from the previous iteration, she wouldn’t know this much. But... if she’s one of the masterminds behind all this, then it’s understandable."

Ji Chaoyang’s words made Lou Fei’Er’s eyes widen gradually.

"Wait, wait, wait, you’re saying..." Lou Fei’Er opened her mouth wide in shock.

"That Xu Ying who took Wenxi, is actually the Xu Ying in the image who has lived for hundreds of years?!"

"...It’s a possibility." Xu Xin eventually had to nod.

Although he found such a thing a bit too bizarre, the idea that his sister was a few hundred years older than him...

But if they were to explain everything happening now, this hypothesis might be the most reasonable.

The Xu Ying in the image was one of the builders of the Crystal City, if the Xu Ying he talked to just now was her, then of course she would know the purpose of the Crystal City.

Xu Xin’s ability was granted by the biological chip in his mind, and as one of the core mbers of that group back then, she might also have been one of the chip’s creators, even if not, she certainly understood his abilities.

Perhaps it was also because of this that she would be directly identified by his ability as a friendly unit, recognized as a green dot.

It was also because she was familiar with this chip that she could easily affect Xu Xin’s abilities, and hide her position on the map, making the green dot suddenly disappear.

...If she really was that Xu Ying, then everything really could be easily explained.
