Li Mu actually associated Yin Ruolan with Jiang Yuer. This is definitely not a coincidence!
"What is your relationship with Ruolan?" Li Mu asked Jiang Yuer in a deep voice.
Jiang Yuer's expression remained unchanged, and she continued to smile: "I think you already have the answer in your heart."
"You...you are Ruolan's clone?" Li Mu's heart suddenly jumped.
Jiang Yuer neither admitted nor denied it, but sighed faintly and said, "Remember, don't take this path. Otherwise, you will still be an ant who cannot control your own destiny."
Then she stretched out a hand and gently stroked Li Mu's face. Li Mu's mind was a little confused at this time. For some reason, he did not dodge and let Jiang Yuer's slender hand wander on his face.
"Jin'er and I are safe now, you don't have to worry. I'm sorry I can't stay with you now, but I believe that one day our family will be reunited." Jiang Yu'er murmured.
Li Mu grabbed Jiang Yuer's hand and said in a deep voice: "Even if you are her clone, you are just a clone after all! Tell me, where is she now?"
Jiang Yuer smiled bitterly when she heard this: "One day you will understand."
After saying this, Jiang Yuer's body gradually became illusory, and completely disappeared in just a few breaths.
Li Mu found that he had no way to deal with Jiang Yuer's departure. He found that Jiang Yuer's disappearance did not involve space, nor was it the kind of disappearance of the soul. It was as if she had never been to this place. She disappeared very naturally, as if Jiang Yuer was a projection. When the projection was turned off, her body disappeared as well.
Li Mu's heart was in turmoil at this moment. Regardless of whether Jiang Yuer was Yin Ruolan's clone, she had an inseparable connection with Yin Ruolan.
This also means that Yin Ruolan is most likely safe now, which is great news for him.
"Palace Master?" Chen Rui called softly.
Li Mu had been pointing at his forehead for a long time. At first, he thought that Li Mu was going to teach him some secrets or something. However, after waiting for a long time, Li Mu still did not take the next step, which made him very embarrassed.
Li Mu was interrupted from his meditation by Chen Rui's call. Looking at Chen Rui in front of him, he felt complicated. Chen Rui was not aware of Jiang Yuer's appearance just now, and he didn't know about the conversation between Li Mu and Jiang Yuer. At this moment, he was a little difficult to make a decision. Chen Rui was his clone. Logically, he should return to his original body to allow the original body to obtain more energy, but Jiang Yuer told him that it was wrong to nourish his original body with his clone, and once he embarked on this path, there was no turning back.
Although countless clones had returned to Li Mu's original body before, they died naturally after all, but Chen Rui is alive and well now, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will continue to live in the world. If he lets Chen Rui return to his original body at this time, then the nature of the situation will change completely.
Li Mu was very conflicted at this moment. He didn't know whether he should listen to Jiang Yuer or not. Although there was a great possibility that Jiang Yuer had a relationship with Yin Ruolan, this was a major matter of cultivation after all. It was related to whether he could truly control his own destiny. How could he listen to other people's one-sided words?
"Chen Rui." Li Mu called softly.
"Palace Master, please give me your instructions." Chen Rui looked nervous.
"If one day you find out that you are the reincarnation of a great man, and someone gives you the choice to recover your memories of your past life, would you be willing or not?" Li Mu asked. He did not use the term "avatar", but chose the more acceptable term "reincarnation".
Chen Rui was horrified when he heard this, and thought in his heart: "So I am the reincarnation of a great man, so the Palace Master is so caring to me!"
"Palace Master, do you know me from my previous life?" Chen Rui couldn't help but ask.
Li Mu nodded and said calmly: "That's about right. You can understand it this way."
After getting Li Mu's confirmation, Chen Rui's heart was filled with huge waves. Before this, he had never imagined that an ordinary person like him would have such an extraordinary background. It was like a dream to him.
"Answer my question, are you willing to recover your memories of your previous life?" Li Mu asked again.
Chen Rui looked embarrassed when he heard this. He hesitated for a while before asking, "If I regain my memory, will I still be myself?"
"In essence, yes, you are still you, but the control of your thoughts will definitely return to him. In other words, your life experiences can only become a part of his memory." Li Mu replied.
Chen Rui frowned upon hearing this and said with a wry smile: "Palace Master, what do you want me to do? I will listen to you."
"I can't make this decision for you, and I can't judge whether your choice is right or not, so I leave this choice to you." Li Mu looked at Chen Rui calmly, "Don't worry about anything, just say whatever you think."
Chen Rui took a deep breath and said, "In this case, I choose to be content with the status quo."
"Why? Are you willing to be an ordinary staff member in Lingxiao Palace for the rest of your life?" Li Mu was a little puzzled.
"Palace Master, everyone's life has its own meaning. Who can tell what will happen in the future? Although my previous life was extraordinary, if I recover my memories of my previous life and become him, it means that I will disappear from this world forever! I am a very selfish person and I cherish my life very much. Palace Master, please allow me to stay in my current state!" Chen Rui said with a firm face.
Li Mu was slightly startled when he heard this. Suddenly, he smiled and said to Chen Rui: "I respect your choice. I hope things will get better and better in the future."
As Li Mu spoke, he turned around and took a step forward, disappearing in front of Chen Rui.
