"The interspace is practically transparent to me now," Gu Chengrui explained.
"Quite the change," Zhou Ying observed, a touch of concern in her voice. "Be mindful not to arouse suspicion, especially from the Emperor and the royal family. They're a naturally watchful bunch."
Gu Chengrui nodded. "Tell them that I've awakened, but remind them that I'm exhausted. I'll need two days of rest before returning to my duties at the medical office."
"And," he added, "I plan to record some medicine recipes and seal the memories of my past nine lives until I leave this body in three years."
Zhou Ying's surprise was evident. "Seal your memories? You've just rediscovered them, barely had a chance to experience the world again. Why so sudden?"
"The fact that you noticed the difference in me so quickly speaks volumes," he explained. "My personality in this life clearly differs from before. To avoid any suspicion, sealing my memories seems the only option."
