Vol 7 Chapter 21 (2/2)

“No, no way. Bo Fu just got a little sick, that’s–”

“No need to continue the act.” Bo Fu interrupted me, and opened her mouth to continue.

At this moment, I felt an inexplicable pressure in my heart. It was as if, it was as if Bo Fu was about to expose who I actually am.

But that’s impossible–

“Xuan De, you’re not from this era right?”

“… Eh?”

— Right?

What did Bo Fu just say about me?

“Bo, Bo Fu, what’s with you? Why are you saying such things all of a sudden…”

“Back then when you spoke with that Taoist, I heard everything.”

“Eh?” I wanted to continue feigning ignorance but Bo Fu did a slam dunk on me.

“You heard… Everything?” I frowned, as I didn’t want to believe it. How could she have heard it? Bo Fu’s state then was…

“My body was in a very weak state then but I was conscious.” Bo Fu began explaining with a frown, as though she herself didn’t believe it, “But I heard what you both said then. Yu Ji said that I should have died, and you seemed to know about this too.”

“Bo Fu, don’t listen to her nonsense…”

“Xuan De!” Bo Fu roared at me and didn’t give me a chance to explain. I looked at her, and saw that she had a pained expression as she continued.

“Please tell me the truth. The Xuan De I know isn’t someone who lies on and on.”

“… Sorry.”

I lost. And my apology was a tacit admission to what she said before.

How could this be? She actually knows it all.

I saved someone who ought to have died. But now this person knows that she should have died. What does Bo Fu feel now?

Rejoice? Pain? Or anger?

I don’t know, and I don’t dare to ask. Even if I did ask, I doubt I’d get an answer.
