"Jiang Jiang, don't be impulsive!"
Lu Shiyan's voice rang in Jiang Li's ears.
Seeing that Jiang Li's murderous intent had not yet subsided, he quickly added, "I'm fine, don't worry!"
"Are you alright?" Jiang Li communicated with Lu Shiyan telepathically, and the voice that reached Lu Shiyan's ears was several decibels higher. "You've been captured and turned into a spirit, and you still say you're alright? What happened before you admitted that something was wrong?"
“Cough…” Lu Shiyan’s expression was somewhat indescribable. He finally said, “This matter is rather strange. I fell into this space with you, and after waking up, I appeared in this state.”
Jiang Li looked at Lu Shiyan suspiciously, "Weren't you killed?"
When she asked those questions, the murderous intent in her eyes lessened somewhat.
Lu Shiyan nodded, "Yes, it wasn't killed, it just appeared in this form, maybe..."
Lu Shiyan slowly revealed a fact that he was somewhat reluctant to admit: "I really am his reincarnation. Because I am a reincarnation, I cannot have a physical body in this space?"
Lu Shiyan wasn't entirely sure either, but it wasn't impossible.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but purse her lips and say, "But in this situation, it's the soul that's reincarnated, not the body. Shouldn't it be your soul that should disappear?"
Lu Shiyan: "..."
That makes some sense.
"Forget it, let's not worry about what's going on for now..." Jiang Li didn't waste any more time on this useless speculation. "The most important thing now is to leave this place. Only when we leave can we find a way back."
Lu Shiyan's expression became even more complicated. "Jiang Jiang... I can't leave."
"Huh?" Jiang Li was stunned. "What do you mean?"
“I can’t leave within ten meters of him.” Lu Shiyan pointed to the Imperial Advisor beside him, looking extremely troubled. “After I woke up, I realized something was wrong with me, but since you weren’t around, I decided to go find you first. But… I discovered that if I walk more than ten meters away from him, I can’t move anymore, so…”
He eventually gave up.
Then, as soon as I gave up struggling, I felt my consciousness becoming more and more confused, and I became more and more dazed, like a walking corpse.
That is, when Jiang Li appears...
He sensed Jiang Li's presence, and his runaway mind returned.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li was surprised for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on.
She looked at Lu Shiyan thoughtfully, "I understand... I understand why you've become like this."
"Why?"
"Because you and him have an incompatible relationship, you will appear as a spirit. Why don't you just dissipate? It's because your soul and his soul are of the same lineage, belonging to the same origin. Therefore, your soul will uncontrollably move closer to him. This is just the beginning... If it goes on for a long time... he may completely devour your soul..."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
I'm so pissed off...
I really want to swear.
"Then..." Although Lu Shiyan didn't intend to be devoured, he still asked seriously, "If I am devoured by him, will I still have my own consciousness? Will I still remember you? Will I remember everything before?"
Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then answered very seriously, "This..."
"how?"
"As these consciousnesses merge, who ultimately dominates..." Jiang Li shrugged, finally concluding, "It's not entirely fair to say. It's possible your consciousness will be devoured by the main consciousness, but it's also possible... you'll launch a counterattack and defeat the main consciousness? It's hard to say, it's all... up to fate..."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
This answer...
Whether you say it or not, there's not much difference.
“Jiang Jiang, I’m a little worried about something right now…” Lu Shiyan looked at Jiang Li with a serious expression.
"What?"
"I can't leave the Grand Preceptor's side, but you can. What if my consciousness starts to wander again when you're not in front of me, and I'm completely devoured by that Grand Preceptor without even realizing it?"
This is a very real problem; it won't stop happening just because you don't think about it.
If Jiang Li hadn't come, I probably would have been a walking corpse for days...
He would never see his beloved Jiang Jiang again.
“This…” Jiang Li’s expression also turned serious. “You’re right. I absolutely cannot let him devour you. Let me think… is there any way to take you away from him…”
As the two were talking, Chu Yunjie suddenly raised his hand and poked Jiang Li's arm.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Li glared at him fiercely.
“Um…” Chu Yunjie pointed to the Imperial Advisor beside him and said weakly, “That person is calling you… He’s called you several times, but you’ve been spacing out and haven’t answered…”
Jiang Li: "..."
Okay...
He was so engrossed in talking to Ayan that he forgot about Ayan's past life.
So she turned to the stern-faced Imperial Advisor and asked in a serious tone, "May I ask what brings you here?"
"Why did you come here?" The Imperial Advisor asked Jiang Li, enunciating each word clearly.
Jiang Li was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Naturally, it was a coincidence, a forced situation. Before coming here, none of us knew we would end up here."
The Imperial Advisor lowered his eyes, a glint of unfathomable light flashing in them.
"Since you are visitors from another world..." the Imperial Advisor said calmly, "you two should settle down here in peace."
? ? ?
How did this person know they were...?
No wonder he's the Imperial Advisor; he really has some skills.
Jiang Li was just wondering what reason to give to stay when she heard the Grand Preceptor's words. She suppressed her inner sigh and pretended to refuse, "This... isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"There's nothing good or bad about it..." The Grand Preceptor remained calm. "Your arrival is naturally a sign from Heaven. It is my duty as the Grand Preceptor to treat you well. I just hope that you... will not cause panic among others."
"Rest assured, Grand Preceptor, we will certainly not do anything to harm others." Jiang Li replied readily, then added, "We only hope that you can help us find our way back."
The Imperial Advisor did not agree directly, but said, "Everything is preordained. I do not know how you will leave, but... since it is the will of Heaven, Heaven will always provide guidance at the appropriate time. When the time comes, I will naturally not stop you."
Seeing the Imperial Advisor say this, Jiang Li said nothing more.
"Is there anything else you two would like to use?" the Imperial Advisor continued to ask.
"No need."
"Shall I escort you two to rest?"
"Thank you, Grand Preceptor."
The Imperial Advisor walked ahead, while Jiang Li and Lu Shiyan's souls followed behind, constantly communicating with each other through their consciousness.
Only Chu Yunjie was there...
He followed the Imperial Advisor with a completely bewildered expression...
Like a complete idiot who knows nothing.
