Upon hearing this, Old Qin was completely petrified.
"You...you are A-Ye? Xu Changchong is A-Ye?"
Old Qin frowned, a startling idea flashing through his mind.
He stared at the man in front of him in astonishment, then looked him up and down again.
"You just said that A-Ye went to a parallel world and can't come back for the time being, but you look exactly like A-Ye. Does that mean that the parallel world A-Ye went into was more than a hundred years ago? So... so you accidentally gained immortality after time travel and have been living from that era to the present?"
He himself found it unbelievable to express this idea.
How could such an amazing thing happen in the world?
Gu Jueye nodded.
Old Qin gripped his cane with both hands and remained silent for a long time before he could process this shocking news.
“I remember you lived in the Qin family for three years back then, when A-Ye was just five years old. You two even met then. My God, it’s unbelievable that you are the same person.”
Recalling events from over twenty years ago, Mr. Qin was filled with emotion.
Back then, A-Ye would often stay at the Qin family's house for a while. This child had always been a quiet person and didn't like to get along with his peers. However, every time he came to the house, he liked to interact with Xu Changchong, who was pretending to be his son at the time.
He remembers often seeing two people, one big and one small, playing on the grass in the front yard.
"Old Xu... cough cough, I really can't see you as A-Ye right now." Old Qin looked troubled.
The elders I once respected have suddenly become my own grandchildren.
This feels really strange.
“During the three years you lived in the Qin family, Xiao Aye was very attached to you. Later, you left without a word, which was a big blow to him. After he grew up, his uncle was attacked by Zhao Guofeng while saving him and became a vegetable. Since then, the boy has become more and more taciturn. His choice to study in Y country is actually partly related to you, because I once said that you were in Y country.”
Perhaps it was because they were the same person that Xiao Aye liked Xu Changchong so much back then.
Gu Jueye remained silent, seemingly lost in his own memories.
Old Qin continued to inquire, "You just mentioned the Qi King's Ding. Did you go to the Kunlun Mountains and enter the Qi King's tomb back then?"
King Qi was the first head of the Gu family in Kunlun Mountain. He was later enfeoffed as King Qi for assisting the new emperor in establishing a new dynasty. After King Qi passed away, his tomb was built on Kunlun Mountain.
For centuries, there have been rumors that the tomb of the King of Qi contains treasures, including a rare and precious ritual object called the Qi King's Ding.
Whoever obtains the Qi King's Cauldron will gain mysterious energy.
Connecting this to the past, Qin Lao vaguely felt that perhaps the reason for A Ye's immortality was indeed related to the Qi King's Ding.
"I did visit the tomb of the King of Qi, but I did not find the Qi King's Ding in the tomb."
"Then how did you get into the parallel universe?"
"Besides the legend of the Qi King's Ding, there is another, more important clue in the tomb of the King of Qi."
As he recounted his experience, Gu Jueye's expression became increasingly enigmatic.
Old Qin looked very interested.
Gu Jueye suddenly fell silent, seemingly unwilling to revisit his past experiences.
"Why did you stop talking? What clues did you find in the tomb of the King of Qi?" Old Qin asked eagerly, truly curious.
"It's better if you don't know that secret."
Old Qin felt the breath he had been holding in suddenly catch in his throat.
Suddenly enraged, he raised his cane, ready to punch someone.
But when he thought that the person in front of him was not only his grandson, but also the benefactor of the Qin family, his thoughts became complicated.
"Hmph, if you were the original A-Ye, I would have given you this cane long ago. Have you ever seen anyone who only farts halfway through?"
Upon learning that Xu Changchong was his eldest grandson, Old Qin lost his previous restraint and politeness, and began to reveal his true colors.
Seeing Qin Lao's expression, Gu Jueye, who had been calm and composed, revealed a slight smile.
"You look more normal like this."
"You brat, don't think you can look down on me just because you're older than me. Let me tell you, as long as you're Gu Jueye, you have to call me Grandpa. You know I'm very curious, and you've told me all these weird stories, but now you're not going to say anything more. Do you think I have a strong heart and want to give my heart a shock?"
Gu Jueye could see that the old man was really angry.
He spoke slowly: "I'm not here today to tell you about my experiences."
"What? Is there something else?"
"Yes, it's about my uncle."
"For Dongze?"
"My uncle fell into a deep coma after being seriously injured by Zhao Guofeng. He was pathologically determined to be brain dead. However, in general, after the irreversible termination of brainstem function, even if the heart still has self-benefit, a brain-dead patient will not live for more than six months. However, my uncle survived for ten years."
Old Qin sighed, "He is indeed a miracle. I have always hoped that I could see him open his eyes in my lifetime. That way, I can die in peace."
"Lately, I've often wondered whether keeping him lying in this hospital bed is a good thing for him or a form of confinement? Perhaps he longs for the freedom to leave?"
His son had always been a source of pain for Old Qin. The usually strong-willed old man appeared so helpless at this moment.
"Actually, my uncle's symptoms are very similar to Qianmo's coma this time."
