QWTBWASIFOC Chapter 69
by VolareHalf a month later.
After being discharged from the hospital and resting at his residence for a week, Gu Changli boarded a starship to go to the Imperial Capital Star for school. Accompanying him was a certain neighbor, Uncle Shen Tan.
Shen Tan claimed it was because he was worried about him traveling alone.
Knowing that the other party was under orders to protect him, Gu Changli nonchalantly agreed to Shen Tan’s proposal, letting this good Imperial neighbor take care of everything.
He was naturally happy to have someone willingly arrange his trip and protect him; why should he make things hard for himself when he could enjoy life?
He didn’t have masochistic tendencies and didn’t like suffering!
Sitting in the independent cabin, the young man looked out at the dazzling starry sky, eating the small pudding dessert Shen Tan had specially bought for him.
Like a little hamster, chewing with bulging cheeks.jpg
The small pudding had a delicate, silky texture that melted in his mouth, perfectly suited to his taste.
System 143 was also holding a small pudding, chewing away.
While admiring the starry sky, Gu Changli munched on the dessert, recalling the past of the two wish fulfillers. Many doubtful points had been answered correctly through observation and experimentation over the past half-month.
The people who poisoned Noah and Lin Qingning were none other than the First Prince and Third Princess of the Hua’an Empire.
The person who poisoned Noah was the Third Princess.
The person who poisoned Lin Qingning was the First Prince.
These siblings were both ruthless. They had discovered the original owner’s planet three years ago and only acted when they were certain of success.
Clear goals, steady and accurate execution, and courage!
Gu Changli had developed quite an interest in these cheap relatives he had never met, and he thought there would be many interesting things in this life.
He hoped they could handle the challenges to come, as he certainly wouldn’t be soft.
System 143, seeing its beautiful host deep in thought, curiously asked: [Host, are you thinking about how to burn those siblings to a crisp?]
Gu Changli swallowed the small pudding with bulging cheeks, his handsome face showing a hint of harmlessness.
“If I burn them now, what will I play with?”
“Moreover, I plan to focus on cultivating the Way of Talismans. They are excellent tools for me to test the effects of my talismans, so they can’t be easily burned to ashes.”
Lin Qingning’s second wish was to focus on cultivating the Dao and not disgrace the name of a Daoist genius, so he naturally couldn’t be idle.
He planned to specialize in the Way of Talismans and dabble in metaphysics.
System 143’s small pudding fell to the ground with a ‘plop,’ and it stared blankly at its beautiful host.
[Ah?! You’re serious!!!]
The effects of the talismans the host was researching were all bizarre, such as the Today’s Hair Loss Talisman, the Go Out and Get Hit by a Car Talisman, and the Fortune Loss Talisman, among other strange talismans.
Don’t ask how it knew; it, this lazy cat who loved to eat and drink, had also been slapped with a Diligence Talisman by its host to test the effect.
To be fair, the effect was quite obvious.
It was indeed diligent, but it was diligent in the wrong way.
As the saying goes, what’s most frightening is when a stupid person suddenly becomes diligent.
“…” Gu Changli was speechless, watching the stupid system make itself covered in dust and grime.
I told the system to be diligent, not to tear down the house!
That stupid cat who destroyed his entire study under the guise of helping him organize his talismans, that’s who I’m talking about!
[Gulp—] System 143 swallowed, secretly thinking about the chaotic future.
If the beautiful host used these bizarre talismans on Zhou Yiran and Zhou Moran, they would probably have no peace in the future.
It had to be said that when it came to being ruthless, Gu Changli was the best!
As long as the host didn’t use it for experiments, Zhou Yiran and Zhou Moran could just suffer!
It didn’t want to be grabbed by the scruff of its neck and personally experience the power of that poisonous mouth again.
That little mouth never stopped running; it wanted to bash its head against the wall.
The cat system glanced at its host and quickly clapped its paws in support, [Indeed, they can’t be burned; they have even greater uses!]
If they were burned, who would be the test subjects for the talismans!
[To dedicate themselves to the host’s talisman drawing career is the greatest honor of their lives!]
Gu Changli didn’t continue to pay attention to that stupid cat system but instead slowly sorted out his thoughts.
It was known that Wish Fulfiller 1 was Noah of the Hua’an Empire, and Wish Fulfiller 2 was Lin Qingning of the Republic of China.
It was known that Zhou Xiuran’s son was named Zhou Qingning.
This only son of the Second Prince, who hadn’t been seen in public for thirteen years, shared the same name but not the same surname as the Daoist from the Republic of China ten thousand years ago. Coupled with the difference in their abilities, Gu Changli had an even bolder guess in his heart.
The intelligent and gifted Zhou Qingning disappeared at the age of seven, which was thirteen years ago, and thus Noah was born, who was dull and docile.
Noah was eager to learn and had a clever mind, but his emotions were like those of a cute and docile koala, without a hint of aggressiveness.
His talent as a mecha pilot was beyond doubt, but he lacked experience in dealing with people.
In short, Noah was a genius missing a few screws.
Lin Qingning didn’t like to study but loved to follow his master to practice martial arts and train his own martial strength. He also had unique insights and later went down the mountain with his sect to protect his country.
To put it more bluntly, Zhou Qingning was a man of both literary and martial talents, but Noah had literary talent maxed out and martial strength extremely low, while Lin Qingning had martial talent off the charts and limited culture.
Gu Changli suspected that Zhou Qingning had encountered an accident thirteen years ago, causing his soul to split into two halves. One half remained in his body and became Noah, while the other half fell into a space-time rift and returned to the Republic of China ten thousand years ago, becoming Lin Qingning.
As for why Lin Qingning died at the age of twenty instead of dying young at thirteen, it might be because the flow of time was different in the two worlds, with the Republic of China world having a relatively faster flow.
Otherwise, how could Lin Qingning easily accept Noah’s thirteen years of memories and perfectly fit Noah’s body without any rejection?
Most importantly, Gu Changli felt that the spiritual power of this body, which had been weakened, was slowly recovering.
Noah’s A-grade spiritual power was rising to S-grade.
The two half-souls merged into one, nourishing this seriously injured and dilapidated body.
However, whether his guess was correct or not still needed to be verified slowly upon returning to the Imperial Capital Star.
In addition, he needed to know the memories that Noah had lost.
There must be detailed evidence hidden in that lost memory to verify his conjecture.
No hurry, he had plenty of time to take his time.
Gu Changli slowly put down his spoon, his dark pupils slightly moving, supporting his chin with one hand, the corners of his lips slightly raised, looking out at the distant starry sky with great interest.
Well, this mission was quite interesting.
The young man leaning against the window had fair, cold skin, and his delicate eyebrows and eyes revealed a faint interest, his eyelashes trembling slightly with the blinking of his eyes.
His appearance leaned towards the style of an Eastern beauty.
There was a kind of implicit and restrained temperament about him, like a quiet orchid blooming in a secluded valley.
Nowadays, mixed-race people accounted for the majority in the Hua’an Empire, and there were not many pure-blooded Easterners left. However, the royal family members were pure-blooded Easterners.
The only difference was the purple eyes inherited by the royal family.
It was rumored that the founder of the Hua’an Empire was a pure-blooded Eastern beauty with purple eyes, and his descendants inherited those gorgeous purple eyes.
It was a pity that the original owner’s purple eyes had disappeared.
Anyway, in Noah’s memory, those eyes had always been unchanging black.
But Gu Changli had recently discovered when looking in the mirror that there seemed to be a very light purple in his black pupils.
This also indirectly confirmed his guess.
Noah and Lin Qingning were both half of Zhou Qingning’s soul, so there would naturally be changes when they merged.
