Both of them went back to her temporary residence in silence.
“I truly believe now that you’re not her.” He finally told Sima You Yue after going back to the house.
No matter how one could lose their memories, their characteristics wouldn’t change drastically so he believed that she wasn’t Murong Xi.
“Since you know it, don’t come and find me anymore.” When Sima You Yue wanted to close the door on him, he stopped it with both his hands.
“Although you’re not Xi’er, I’ll need to talk to you.” Gongzi Yuan held the door and looked at her sternly.
Sima You Yue stared at him for a while before taking a step back, allowing him in.
“You want to know about Murong Xi?” She asked.
“That’s right, I want to know how you came here as well. What about Xi’er? Where is she?” Gongzi Yuan questioned.
“I don’t know either.” Sima You Yue shrugged, “When I came to the Ghost Realm, it was chaotic and confusing and I met her in a daze, she was being chased and we fell off the cliff together. I’m here when I woke up.”
“That’s all?”
“That’s all.” Sima You Yue continued, “I told Murong Hui that I’m not her but he doesn’t believe me, he said I must have lost my memory.”
“That’s odd.” Gongzi Yuan frowned, “Even I can tell you’re fake, how can Uncle Hui not notice that. Afterall, it’s a big difference.”
“So he has a motive.” Sima You Yue said.
“You don’t seem to care at all.” “Gongzi Yuan stared at her, seemingly trying to read her face, but there was nothing he could make out of it.
“Care? It’s not something that I can care about.” Sima You Yue continued, “I don’t have the power to rebel, isn’t it?”
“You’re smart.” Gongzi Yuan was impressed by her, he thought that she wanted to take over Murong Xi’s position.
That wasn’t it, if it was, she would definitely have said that she was Murong Xi and not denying this identity.
“You want to talk to Uncle Hui?” Gongzi Yuan said shockingly.
“No, I’m here to recuperate.” Sima You Yue continued, “Isn’t Murong Xi your best friend? Why aren’t you looking for her?”
“Uncle Hui will definitely send someone.” Gongzi Yuan continued, “If even they can’t find her, there’s no point for me to do that.”
Sima You Yue glared at him, “You’re such a rational friend.”
“I’m not doing worthless work.” Gongzi Yuan continued, “I’ll go back, see you later.”
Sima You Yue wanted to tell him not to look for her since they weren’t close but he had already walked out of the courtyard. She looked at his dejected back view, thinking that he must be devastated.
She sighed and closed the door.
The news of chasing all the gigolo quickly spread throughout the residence of City Lord while the steward went to Murong Hui’s study room.
“Patriarch, she released all the men.” Steward said.
