As for the soul of the clone, she would wake up in Gu Xijiu's body.
The instructions of the Ye family was to kill Gu Xijiu once the heart exchange surgery was completed, so Gu Xijiu would be completely dead and the soul of the clone would not be resurrected anymore…
This was actually a perfect plan. However, he never knew that Gu Xijiu had a special body constitution whereby she had antibody towards the drug. When she woke up earlier than expected, she not only stabbed Long Xi's heart but also torn her own heart and wasted Long Xi's well-prepared plan.
Everything was cleared now. The dining hall was very quiet to the point that they could only hear the sounds of the mussel chewing.
The story was too shocking so Gu Xijiu was still confused for a moment. She had mixed feelings. What if the story was real and Long Xi is not trapping her but was sincere to her…?
But what if the story was just another lie of Long Siye to fool her…?
What was his modus operandi?
Her eyes fell on the red autumn-shaped jade on his waist, "What about this jade?"
The jade was not big. It was about the size of a coin but the color was very fine and glowed slightly under the dimmed light.
"This jade was supposed to be yours." Long Siye replied.
"Uh?" Gu Xijiu was surprised.
"When you were born, you were holding this jade, that was why the Ye family named you 'Ye Hongfeng'. This jade had been hanging around your neck after you were born. When I made the mistake, I took out the jade from you and hung it on the clone's neck. That was why she was recognized as Ye Hongfeng and brought back by the Ye family. She had been wearing it all the time until the day when the surgery was performed. I put it in my pocket but I never expected that when my soul came to this world, it came together with me. When I was born in this world, I had the memory of Long Xi so I always kept this jade properly. I always had a feeling that since I could carry this jade with me to this world, I might have the chance to meet you again too. Thus, when I grew up and grew some abilities, I started to look for you. It had been more than 100 years since I started to look for you…"
Everything he said sounded very real. Gu Xijiu did not know whether she should trust him or not. She calmed down for a moment. Since he was open to telling her everything, she decided to ask a few more questions to clear her doubts.
"How did you die? Were you killed by me?"
Long Siye shook his head, "My heart was located slightly towards the right. When you stabbed me, it did not stab on my heart. After you died, I did not want to be alive too so I committed suicide."
Was his heart really located slightly towards the right at that time?!
Long Siye seemed to understand Gu Xijiu's doubts; he held her hand to press on his right chest, "You can verify it."
Gu Xijiu remained silent. She could feel the pumping of his heart.
However, it did not mean that he would have the same in his past life although his heart was really located slightly towards the right in this life. Gu Xijiu temporarily put this doubt aside.
"Since you took your own life, you should die almost the same time as I did. But why did the timing of our coming into this world so different? You have been here for more than 100 years but I am only here for a year…"
"I am not sure. Even if we died at the same time, it does not mean that we will be reborn at the same time too."
"Fortunately, we have been reborn in the same generation. Although the gap is 100 years, we finally met each other. Xijiu, when I found out that you are the person I have always been looking for, I was overjoyed. You would never know how excited and nervous I was…"
Long Siye reached out his hand and covered her hand, "Xijiu, I am so happy that we are able to meet in this generation… Perhaps it was because God was touched by my sincerity…"
Gu Xijiu took off her hand. She was touched too. However, she was hurt badly so she was still not clear about her own feelings at this moment…
Her mild reaction slightly disappointed Long Siye. He was stunned, "Xijiu, don't you believe me?"
Gu Xijiu shook her head. There was too much information she had to register tonight. She needed to digest the information first…
She thought for a moment and asked, "You have been looking for me all these years? How did you know that I will come to this generation too? After all, the probability is so small…"
"Since I was able to bring your jade over, I think you will come along too." Long Siye said lightly, "I am also betting on it. My intuition tells me that you will come too!"
His intuition was so accurate! But she did not know if it was real…
Gu Xijiu thought of something, "What about your disciple Gu Xixi?"
Long Siye sighed, "I've been looking for you since the early days. However, there were too many people in this world; it was not easy to look for one person. Not to mention that a person who has been reborn may appear differently too. When I first met Gu Xixi, she was an eight-year-old kid.
She looked very similar to you. Coincidently, her name was also spelled as Gu Xijiu. It was exactly the same pronunciation like yours but bore different characters. Her personalities were quite alike with yours and she was quite talented in medicine too. Of course, she did not have the memory of her previous life. I thought that she was you, so I taught her my medicinal skills. I thought that it would be fine even if you don't remember me, as long as I found you and we can start over again."
Gu Xijiu remained silent. She looked down and drank her tea, "Then how did you find out that she was not me?"
Long Siye sighed, "In fact, I have found out about it after some time. When we knew each other for a longer period, I found that her personalities were totally different from yours. Except for the cold personality and similar appearance, there is nothing alike between the both of you. I was quite tired looking for you, so I tried to lie to myself that the differences might be due to the different upbringing. I did not want to be disappointed and started the search all over again so I did not dare to verify it. Until the day when she was 12 years old, the Celestial Master Zuo came to visit me…"
When Gu Xijiu suddenly heard of this name, she slightly stiffened and raised her eyebrows, Celestial Master Zuo? Why was he visiting you?"
Long Siye shook his head, "This person has always been mysterious. I don't have a close relationship with him. Although we are both the heaven's gift disciple, we have almost no interaction at all. We will only meet when there is a meeting amongst all heaven's gift disciples. Thus I was quite surprised when he visited me. He came to drink with me. This person has too many tricks and he likes to prank other people, so I was very cautious when he visited me."
