Chapter 130 The cat said you were exposed
The man looked at the swaying reflection in the tea bowl and said in an erratic tone: "Yes and no."
He raised his eyes and looked at Bai Qingchen with a deep gaze, "To be more precise, I am you and you are me."
Bai Qingchen frowned, completely unable to understand these tongue-twisting words.
The man didn't seem to expect him to understand immediately, and continued slowly, "In my timeline... four hundred years ago, the Demon Lord successfully connected the world of immortal cultivation and the demonic calamity."
"The world of immortal cultivation was devastated, and the survivors were barely surviving. To reverse this, I made a deal with the endangered Xingxiu Black Cat clan."
"I'll use all my cultivation as the price in exchange for them using their final magical power to send my soul back four hundred years to be reincarnated as the Starry Black Cat."
"That is, you were born, and then at a specific time, your soul core, which had already become the Starry Black Cat, was sent to four hundred years ago."
"You have become a loophole, interfering with and destroying the Demon Lord's ritual, which can only be completed by the Starry Black Cat Clan."
He paused and looked at Bai Qingchen: "Obviously, judging from your ability to get here, the plan was successful. You did what I couldn't do."
Bai Qingchen listened silently, the huge amount of information impacting his cognition.
It turns out that everything he experienced was not an accident, but a gamble spanning four hundred years.
Bai Qingchen was silent for a moment, then asked, "Since the plan was successful and the Demon Lord's conspiracy has been thwarted, why are you looking for me now?"
The smile on the man's face faded and he became serious: "Because the Demon Lord never gives up."
"He is trying to make a comeback, and the key to cracking his plan this time..." He paused and met Bai Qingchen's eyes.
The two spoke almost at the same time, their voices overlapping: "...In the secret realm."
After saying that, both of them were stunned for a moment.
The man then laughed again, with a hint of relief: "See, you and I are the same person, so we naturally have the same thoughts."
His figure began to blur. "I am just a fragment left in your memory. You need to find the specific method to crack it yourself... Perhaps it lies in the part of your memory that is missing."
The white space began to collapse and dissipate, and an anxious and even trembling call came to my ears.
"Ah-ching! Ah-ching!"
The calling voice became clearer and clearer, and the scene before my eyes gradually came into focus.
Bai Qingchen found himself being held tightly in Chen Xing's arms, so tightly that it seemed as if he wanted to rub him into his bones and blood. He could clearly feel the other's body trembling slightly.
This was the second time Chen Xing had lost his composure and called him A Qing.
After the two of them entered the middle door together, Bai Qingchen instantly fell into a state of illusion or memory reception and lost consciousness.
Chen Xing kept guarding him and calling out anxiously, but received no response.
Seeing Bai Qingchen finally open his eyes and his vision regain clarity, Chen Xing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but the arms that were wrapped around him did not relax at all. Instead, they tightened even more, as if he was afraid that if he let go, the person in front of him would disappear.
Bai Qingchen did not feel uncomfortable, but instead felt a sour feeling in his heart.
He raised his hand and gently stroked Chen Xing's cheek. His fingertips felt a hint of cold wetness, and he was slightly startled.
"I should call you Chenxing." Bai Qingchen spoke, looking at the person who was close to him.
"Mo Li, Xuan Yuan... or, Mo Zhi Yuan?"
The surroundings instantly fell into dead silence.
Mo Zhiyuan's body visibly stiffened, and the arms holding him tensed for a moment.
His lips moved, and finally a hoarse voice came out: "...When did you find out?"
Bai Qingchen was held in his arms and even had some free time. He used his fingers to roll up a strand of Mo Zhiyuan's black hair that fell on his chest and played with it.
"There were many doubts at the Xi family banquet, but I wasn't sure."
"Then you were sucked away by the spatial vortex. In that moment of desperation, you called out, 'Ah Qing...' and there's no doubt about that anymore."
There are only a handful of people who would call him that.
Now that his true identity had been completely exposed, Mo Zhiyuan no longer pretended.
The aura around him fluctuated slightly, and the disguised face was removed, revealing the true face that looked too cold due to years of keeping a cold face.
Bai Qingchen raised his hand, and gently smoothed his habitual frown with his fingertips. He carefully traced the face he hadn't seen for four hundred years, and said softly, "You've changed a bit. You don't smile as much anymore. I prefer the look on your face when you call me brother."
He suddenly remembered something, his eyes moved slightly, and he said with a hint of sarcasm: "Those... inexplicable marks on my body before, you must have been the one who did it!"
He originally wanted to see Mo Zhiyuan's embarrassed look.
Unexpectedly, after being pointed out, Mo Zhiyuan's face remained calm and he admitted calmly, "Yeah."
As if it was the most natural thing.
Without waiting for Bai Qingchen to say anything else, Mo Zhiyuan looked at him deeply, suddenly leaned down, accurately grabbed his lips, and gave him a long kiss.
Bai Qingchen was caught off guard by the kiss, and his ears instantly turned a light red. He subconsciously put his hand on his chest, putting some distance between them, and said with forced composure, "First... let's talk about business first."
Then she took the opportunity to break free from his arms, stood up and straightened her slightly messy clothes.
Mo Zhiyuan also stood up and resumed his usual stern demeanor, but his eyes were always fixed on him.
Bai Qingchen said seriously, "The Demon Lord is trying to make a comeback. You should know about this, right?"
After all, when he used the alias Xuan Yuan, he was tracking down the traces of demonic cultivators everywhere.
Mo Zhiyuan nodded, "Their goal this time, in this secret realm, seems to be to find a key item related to completely stabilizing and expanding the passage between the two worlds."
Bai Qingchen seemed to be lost in thought. Since he woke up, a stone covered in fluorescent light appeared in the middle of the room.
He went up, his hand easily passed through the light shield, and the moment he touched the stone, a memory instantly came into his mind. It turned out that the lower part was not a part, but this star stone.
The stars painted on the mural are this thing!
Bai Qingchen raised his hand, picked up the star stone, looked at Mo Zhiyuan and said, "I have the second half of the technique, and I need to integrate it immediately."
Mo Zhiyuan said: "I will protect you."
Bai Qingchen found a flat place to sit down and prepared to enter into meditation.
But before closing his eyes, he looked at Mo Zhiyuan again.
"Zhiyuan, do you know... that my memory is still missing the most crucial part."
Mo Zhiyuan's body stiffened slightly, a trace of deep pain flashed across his eyes, and he nodded slowly.
Bai Qingchen stared at him. "In the process of integrating the techniques, I will most likely... remember everything. Do you know what this means?"
Mo Zhiyuan's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was low and hoarse: "I know, but I won't stop you."
No right to stop it.
Bai Qingchen looked at the pain and forbearance that was almost overflowing from his eyes, and his heart softened.
He suddenly stood up, walked forward, and gently hugged Mo Zhiyuan.
"wait for me."
Under the guidance of the Taixu Yanxing Jue, the star stone began to merge into Bai Qingchen's body.
Mo Zhiyuan stood by, staring at Bai Qingchen who was in meditation without blinking, his hands clenched quietly under his robe sleeves.
He was afraid that after Bai Qingchen remembered the whole truth, he would show disappointment or even resentment towards him.
But this day will have to be faced sooner or later.
