Chapter 650 - Infecting the Intellect (2/2)

Nonsense! Is there anything that I don’t know about? Lonemoon sat down at the table. “What did you want to tell me earlier?”

Zuo Shuming’s expression changed at once. He frowned and turned to sit on a chair next to Lonemoon. Then, he said, “Actually, I have no idea what’s going on as well. I just feel like that epiphany was strange.”

“Hmm?” Lonemoon stared blankly at him. “In what way?”

“I can’t put my finger on it either.” His expression became twisted as he tried to look for the right words to say. “When I saw Senior Sister Shu Yi… No, I mean Uncle-Master Shu go through the lightning tribulation, I had an inexplicable feeling that we knew each other. But I couldn’t remember where.”

Lonemoon started and turned to face him.

“Later, Uncle-Master Shu suddenly came up to me and said that she was now a Golden Core cultivator. My mind suddenly became filled with the technique to gather spirit Qi and form a core.” Zuo Shuming was frowning even more deeply now. “Then… I found myself having an epiphany. I knew the technique to form a core because I’ve read it in some dharmic texts earlier, but what was floating in my mind was… different! It was like… it was like…”

He seemed to have no idea how to explain what he felt anymore. His eyebrows sank deeper still. A moment later, he said, “It was like… I formed a core before?”

“You formed a core before?” Lonemoon’s fan stopped moving all of a sudden. “Tell me properly. Why are you having such thoughts? What exactly did you see in your mind’s eye?”

“I didn’t really see anything!” Zuo Shuming shook his head. “It was just a feeling. I even felt like… I knew how to defend myself against lightning bolts.”

“Did you tell anyone else about this?”

“Of course not!” Zuo Shuming said in a low voice. “This thing is so strange. How can I tell other people about this? You’re the only one I’ve told. Brother Lonemoon… what do you think… is there some kind of problem with me?” Zuo Shuming looked absolutely confused. “I’m only a Foundation Establishment cultivator. How can I know these things about forming a core? It’s almost as if I’ve experienced it before.”

“…” No, you really have experienced it before.

“Do you think I’m going to…” Zuo Shuming thought about something else and his eyes widened. He jumped to his feet.

“What!” Lonemoon exclaimed. Don’t tell me that you’ve guessed it?

Zuo Shuming sat back down and scooted closer to Lonemoon. His breath was shaky as he whispered, “Do you think I’m… infected by Senior Sister Shu? Have I gone crazy as well?”

Lonemoon: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Infected my ass!

(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻

Will you freaking die if you just stop insulting Shu Yi for a moment? He had never seen a partner as co-operative as Zuo Shuming!

They were really redundant in this plane, weren’t they? Two Bucks alone was sufficient to stir chaos in this place.

“Brother Lonemoon, you told me before that the brain can be infected, right?” Zuo Shuming began analyzing with a serious expression. “I think that Senior Sister Shu Yi- No, Uncle-Master Shu Yi has that brain disease that you seemed to be talking about. Hasn’t she always been hanging out in our yard these days? I only got the epiphany after she talked to me as well. I think I’m definitely infected.” The more he talked, the more convinced Zuo Shuming became. Awhile later, he added, “Brother Lonemoon, what do you think?!”
