855 Let Us Try, Shall We? (1/2)

The growth of their beards and the shape of their eyes were very similar. Their chins were not the same though. The master had a sharp chin, whereas the chin of the lunatic scientist had a squarish one.

After a brief exchange of information between the two of them, Gu Xijiu made a bold assumption, ”I think that the master of venomous spells should be the lunatic scientist! As you already know, cosmetic operations in the modern era are at an advanced stage. Hence, even one's chin can be made sharper.”

A cold chill ran down Long Siye's spine, ”Could it be that the lunatic scientist has also traveled through time to be here and has even mastered the technique of body possession?”

Gu Xijiu nodded, ”Most probably.”

Long Siye rubbed his eyebrows intensely, ”It does not seem quite right. According to Di Fuyi, the man has practiced to a level where his soul can emerge from his body. You should know that such level of practice takes at least 150 years to achieve, meaning that he will be older than I am. I can be sure that the lunatic was still living a good life when I died!”

Gu Xijiu sighed, ”You have also said that even the same death would not necessarily lead to the same incarnation of the same era. Even though the man died much later than us, he could have been reincarnated before you.”

Long Siye did not comment any further.

Gu Xijiu was deeply absorbed in her thoughts as she was trying to infer from the available evidence. Time slipped away in silence, little by little.

Unknowingly, two hours had passed. Both of them still lied there side by side. Without Gu Xijiu noticing, Long Siye approached her and held her hand, ”Xijiu, the man behind the scene may not be gone yet and will most probably stage a comeback. We should be even more careful from now on. I hope that you and I can fight together.”

His hands were warm. Gu Xijiu’s hand was chilly in contrast. She then pulled her hand back and said, ”Do not worry, I also hope that the lunatic is no longer alive. We will have to cooperate, along with others.”

There was a gleam of light in his eyes when Long Siye looked at her, ”I could not care less about them. I only want to know what you think. I will be thrilled as long as you and I are together.”
