Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

Thanks to Ye Qing’s martial arts, pushing the wheelchair with one hand was effortless.

Gu Jiao couldn’t help but quietly admire Ye Qing. He was considerate, good-looking, and seemed to be quite a catch. Did he already have a partner? Should she introduce one to him?

The two entered the purple bamboo grove.

A disciple on duty in the small bamboo house was sweeping the front courtyard. It seemed as though the fallen leaves in the courtyard were endless; every time Gu Jiao came, she would see this young disciple diligently sweeping them away.

“Senior brother!” The disciple spotted Ye Qing, set down the broom, and greeted him respectfully, cupping his fist at him. Then, he turned to Gu Jiao and greeted her as well, “Young Master Xiao.”

“Is Master finished with his work?” Ye Qing asked.

“Not yet.” The disciple replied.

Ye Qing hesitated for a moment before saying to the disciple, “Go inform Master that Young Master Xiao is here.”

“Yes.” The disciple carefully placed the broom aside, ascended the steps, removed his shoes, and lifted the half-drawn curtain to enter the bamboo house.

Not long after, the disciple returned and respectfully informed the two, “Master invites Young Master Xiao to enter.”

Ye Qing cast a deep look at Gu Jiao.

By coincidence, Gu Jiao also turned to look at him at the same moment.

Their gazes met, and Gu Jiao asked curiously, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Ye Qing replied, “You’re the first person to make Master break his rules repeatedly.”

Gu Jiao rubbed her chin and thought to herself, That’s probably because your master and I both come from another time and space—we’re practically half-countrymen.

Ye Qing pushed the wheelchair into the courtyard, while the disciple laid down wooden planks on the steps to facilitate the wheelchair’s movement.

The Imperial Advisor was not in the main room.

“Come in.”

The voice of the Imperial Advisor came from the study.

Ye Qing pushed the wheelchair into the study, and seeing the Lord Imperial Advisor who was sorting through the treasure cabinets, he said, ”Master, I’ll take my leave now.”

“Mm.” The Imperial Advisor responded lightly.

Ye Qing turned and left the room.

The study looked almost the same as the last time Gu Jiao had seen it. There were children’s toys, rolled-up portraits, and meticulously polished clay sculptures.

At that moment, the Imperial Advisor was carefully wiping one of the small clay figurines on the shelf.

The one placed separately in a row seemed to hold a particularly unique status.

The dynamics between people often evolve as they spend time together. There were questions Gu Jiao might not have asked before, but now she felt comfortable enough to voice them. “Are these three figurines supposed to be you, Xuanyuan Li, and the Emperor?”

“No.” The Imperial Advisor replied.

“Huh?” Gu Jiao looked at him in surprise.

The Imperial Advisor paused his cleaning and said, “The Emperor isn’t among them.”

“Oh, then it must be you and Xuanyuan Li.” Gu Jiao said, looking at the small clay figure. “I’m curious—who is the person who gets to sit alongside you and Xuanyuan Li? He seems to hold a very unique status.”

“He was someone very important, both a mentor and a friend.” The Imperial Advisor said.

Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow and thought, that’s quite a high praise.

The Imperial Advisor placed the clay figurine back on the shelf, set down the cloth in his hand, and turned to look at Gu Jiao. “You seem to be recovering well.”

Gu Jiao replied, “Not bad. My legs feel a bit weak, my eyes are still sensitive to light, and my hands are still unusable. Other than that, there’s nothing major.”

The Imperial Advisor nodded, “These issues will gradually heal, but only if you stay put and rest properly instead of running around.”

Clearly, the Imperial Advisor had heard about someone recklessly racing through the Imperial Advisor’s Hall.

Gu Jiao quickly changed the subject. “I came here today because I need to discuss something with you.”

“Speak.” The Imperial Advisor said.

Gu Jiao’s expression grew serious as she said, “It’s about the promise you made last time. You said that if I won the Black Wind Cavalry, you would tell me the whole truth. The time has come for you to fulfill your promise.”

The Imperial Advisor picked up a scroll and slowly unfurled it, revealing a portrait of Jing Yinyin.

He looked at the portrait and said, ”Last time you asked me what my relationship with Jing Yinyin is. But I think, given how hard you fought, it’s not just to know the connection between me and Jing Yinyin. What you truly want to know is about Jing Yinyin herself.”

Gu Jiao glanced at the portrait as well, “You’re right. I am very curious about Jing Yinyin.”

The Imperial Advisor lifted his gaze, his expression complicated as he looked at her. “Have you ever wondered why you’re so curious about a complete stranger?”

The question left Gu Jiao momentarily speechless.

Indeed, why was she so curious about Jing Yinyin?

The Imperial Advisor said, “You are Jing Yinyin.”

Gu Jiao was momentarily stunned.

The Imperial Advisor didn’t beat around the bush or leave her in suspense. He straightforwardly laid the facts before her, ”You are Jing Yinyin, and Jing Yinyin is you.”

Gu Jiao blinked and replied, “How is that possible?”

The Imperial Advisor carefully put away the portrait and said, “Think about your medicine chest and your experiences. Is there really anything impossible?”

Gu Jiao fell silent.

The little medicine chest indeed possessed the ability to tear through the fabric of time and space.

As for whether she was Jing Yinyin first or her previous self first, the answer was beyond doubt.

She had received the little medicine chest during a mission in her previous life. Originally, it had belonged to her godfather, but he had said the medicine chest was ugly and didn’t want it, so he gave it to her.

After thinking it over, Gu Jiao said, “Still, something doesn’t add up. If I am Jing Yinyin, why don’t I have her memories?”

The Imperial Advisor explained, ”Your brainwaves were damaged when you traveled through time and space, which affected your memory.”

He continued, “When Xuanyuan Zi was pregnant, she was poisoned with an extremely potent poison. It was a poison designed to claim two lives at once—hers and the child’s. I used every method I could to cure Xuanyuan Zi, and while I succeeded in saving her, I couldn’t completely eliminate the poison from the fetus. The child was born and immediately succumbed to the poison. But an hour later, something incredible happened. The child miraculously came back to life.”

“That child who came back to life should be me…” Gu Jiao looked at the Imperial Advisor. “But how did you recognize me?”

The Imperial Advisor succinctly answered, “The medicine chest, your medical skills, and your habits.”

Gu Jiao rubbed her chin, “Hmm.”

The Imperial Advisor looked at her in confusion, “What kind of reaction is that? Are you really this calm about this all?”

Gu Jiao spread her hands. ”Am I supposed to gasp in shock and say, ‘Heavens, I’m actually Jing Yinyin, I’ve traveled through time more than once!ʼ?”

The Imperial Advisor pinched the bridge of his nose.

Could she tone down the exaggeration?

He couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

Gu Jiao wheeled herself over to the Imperial Advisor, reached out with her large bear paws, and grabbed the scroll. She placed it on her lap and unrolled it.

She looked at the image of the little baby girl on the portrait, raised an eyebrow, and said, ”I knew it; she’s just too cute.”

The Imperial Advisor: “…”

Gu Jiao continued, “Alright, you’ve given me the answer I needed. I’m heading back now.”

The Imperial Advisor seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Gu Jiao turned her wheelchair and left the small bamboo house.

After leaving, her expression darkened.

How could she not be shocked?

But she couldn’t let the Imperial Advisor see any emotion on her face.

After all, this was someone who had stabbed the Xuanyuan Family in the back. She could never fully trust him.

But really, what on earth was going on?

She was Jing Yinyin, yet she had completely lost that part of her memory.

Could he be lying to her?

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, ”Scared?”

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, ”The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?”

Shi Dai replied, ”Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, ”Donʼt abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, ”Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah.”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasnʼt finished his lines yet though…
