Gu Ruoyun did not notice the peculiarity in Zixie’s words. She only nodded and replied, “I understand. Zixie, don’t worry, I won’t let you leave! We must all survive this!”
Just as Zixie was about to reply, Cang Ming’s cold and arrogant voice chimed in from up ahead. His voice was full of contempt as he spoke with disdain, “Are you finished with your last words? If you’re done, it’s time for you to leave the world of the living!”
The black-robed man glared at Qianbei Ye coldly. The corners of his lips were curled into a scornful smile as he said, “Qianbei Ye, our battle has dragged on for more than ten thousand years. It’s now time to put an end to it. I’ve said it before that only one of us can live!”
Gu Ruoyun fell silent when she heard the man’s words which dripped with hatred. She asked, “Since you believe that our death is certain, may I ask you something?”
“Speak.” The black-robed man spoke nonchalantly as he looked at Gu Ruoyun as if she did not matter at all.
Gu Ruoyun raised her head towards the black-robed man and asked, “You say that only either you or Qianbei Ye can live in this world. What does that mean?”
The black-robed man stared at Gu Ruoyun in astonishment. “What? Your little loverboy Qianbei Ye had not told you the reason? Haha, looks like he has kept you in the dark all these years! Since you’ve asked, I will explain my relationship with Qianbei Ye!”
Honestly speaking, Gu Ruoyun has been curious about Qianbei Ye’s identity ever since she had met Cang Ming. However, she understood that Qianbei Ye would not tell her this to avoid causing her more worry. Now that she was facing Cang Ming, she needed to hear the answer from his own mouth.
“Actually, Qianbei Ye and I used to share one body! We are twin souls!”
The black-robed man’s words were like a stroke of lightning on a clear day and filled Gu Ruoyun with shock.
Prior to this moment, she had made many guesses but the closest possibility she could come up with was that Cang Ming and Qianbei Ye were twins! She had never thought that they were actually twin souls!
Twin souls meant that two souls lived in one body!
“Actually, I was once… No, should I say that it was Qianbei Ye! Qianbei Ye was once a cultivator at the Full Circle State!”
The already stunned Gu Ruoyun’s expression shook when she heard this. She then looked at the crimson-robed man next to her in shock.
The crimson-robed man did not speak. His eyes were fixed upon the laughing Cang Ming.
Full Circle State…
That was a memory which was so far away that he no longer has a clear impression of it…
“It was unfortunate that this fellow had not wanted the power that he had possessed. He would rather demote himself to get closer to you.” Cang Ming burst into laughter. “You ought to know that because we are twin souls, I could bite back at him at any moment. The only thing he could do back then was to hide away in a corner of the mainland in closed-door cultivation and try to suppress me! We had lived in harmony this way. Or should I say that it was more like I had no power to retaliate against him nor did I have the power to take over his physical body!”
“However, he then met you on that fateful day! No, I should say that it was your incarnation from two lifetimes ago!”
Gu Ruoyun had been a daughter of the Xia family in her previous lifetime. In another lifetime before that, it had been her incarnation from ten thousand years ago who was also Zixie’s previous Master! Hence, Cang Ming was referring to the Gu Ruoyun from ten thousand years ago…
Gu Ruoyun’s heart trembled. Suddenly, she realized that Qianbei Ye had indeed hidden many things from her.
