Chapter 101 (1/2)

Edited by baobao and Evan

Gu Bai didn’t worry for long before he knew where he was now.

This was the world of immortals that the next generation of cultivators yearned for the most. That golden robed man was indeed called Yin Li. He was very n.o.ble and was the emperor of the entire immortal world.

In addition, the other party was also his former lover… Gu Bai’s former name was Yin Baigu. He wasn’t a person but a puppet!

Yes, according to the system’s words and the information Yin Li shared with his memories, he was originally a puppet made by Yin Li when he was still cultivating in the lower world.

Puppets were not uncommon in the world of immortal cultivators. Many normal cultivators and even demon cultivators possessed them. They could be used for purposes as important as weapons and to help with cultivation, to things as minor as taking care of and cleaning caves.

In essence, they were like robots. Besides being more flexible and not having a soul, they looked almost exactly like normal people.

However, when Yin Li had succeeded in refining the puppet, the puppet accidentally achieved intelligence. Although his body was still a puppet’s, he possessed a human soul and became a real puppet person.

Because his body was made from the spirit bones of the ancestors from each of the hundred families of the cultivation world, and the person who created him was Yin Li, he was named Yin Baigu.

Since the day of his birth, he had been accompanying Yin Li during his cultivation for the realm of immortality, to the realm of immortality, so they had been together for thousands of years.

Until three thousand years ago, when the two kingdoms of immortals and demons fought, he was seriously injured.

Because he was neither a human, demon, ghost, or spirit, but a puppet who was separated from all six realms, he couldn’t reincarnate after death. He therefore used the nirvana method of the Phoenix sect, and the remnant of his spirit went to the lower realms to wait for his rebirth of fire.

Also, because the nirvana rebirth would wash away all of his past, he lost all his previous memories….

Gu Bai was silent after listening.

The story was perfect and well-grounded. Even in the memories Yin Li shared with him, there were many scenes of Yin Baigu and Yin Li getting along with each other, which couldn’t be faked.

But… he didn’t believe it!

Because one of the biggest red flags was Yin Baigu’s appearance. He looked exactly like the relief he had seen in the interstellar tomb, just like the flowery, delicate, refined, andyouth there.

From the memory fragments Yin Li had shared with him, he believed the origin of Yin Baigu, the relations.h.i.+p between Yin Baigu and Yin Li, and that he might be Yin Baigu, but he did not believe the so-called love between Yin Baigu and Yin Li.

If Yin Li hadn’t shown him those memories, maybe he would have doubted and pondered over whether everything was just the past he had forgotten.

If a person really loved another person, no matter how much they tried to hide it, it could be seen through their eyes. However, in those scenes, he had only seen Yin Baigu’s deference and admiration for Yin Li because he was the master who created him.

On the other hand, in the relief in the ancient tomb, in every single picture, Yin Baigu’s eyes towards Ye Cang had been so sweet and lingering, his clear eyes reflecting Ye Cang’s figure.

Even if he read it wrong or understood it wrong, those reliefs all showed the fact that Yin Baigu and Ye Cang must have known each other.

But in Yin Li’s story, there was no mention of Ye Cang’s name, from the beginning to the end, as if he had deliberately erased his existence.

Obviously, Yin Li had something to hide from him…

Only after a while, Gu Bai finally raised his head and looked straight at the person in front of him. “Can those memories be found?”

Without his own memories, he could only believe in his own intuition, let alone with Yin Li’s story having so many suspicious parts to it.

Gu Bai’s eyes were too direct and clear and, as Yin Li looked at his own reflection in his eyes, he felt some happiness and some guilt. He was glad that there was only himself in Yin Baigu’s eyes, but felt guilty over the alienation and wariness in those clear eyes.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have your past memories. We have a lot of time to create new memories in the future…”

He couldn’t help but reach out and hug Gu Bai’s head, putting his chin against his forehead, and he didn’t let Gu Bai see his frightened expression and eyes.

Gu Bai struggled uneasily. Whenever Yin Li got close to him, an inexplicable sense of resistance toward him would rise.

But the power gap made him unable to resist at all. Even a small immortal maid who swept the floor had higher cultivation than him, let alone the immortal world’s king.

“I don’t remember anything you’ve just said, so it feels like I’ve just met you. Can you give me some time to adjust?”

Since he couldn’t resist, he could only show weakness. Gu Bai forcefully pushed down the resistance in his heart and gave this whispered request. He would delay as much as he could.

This kind of reaction was very normal for people who had lost their memory. Yin Li wasn’t suspicious and easily agreed. The friends.h.i.+p in his eyes was enough to move anyone.

But it was a pity that Gu Bai wasn’t touched at all. Even if the friends.h.i.+p in Yin Li’s eyes was even more sincere, he wouldn’t believe it because another man had long been living in his heart.

During the next period of time, Gu Bai began to gather useful information from the servants around him without leaving any traces.
