Above all spirits

Chapter 372 The Reborn Person

Chen Yuan swallowed.

In this situation, I felt a mix of surprise and worry.

Chen Yuan was naturally pleased by Gu Yun's expression, which proved that Bai Qing'er was still alive and might even have a close relationship with Gu Yun, although Chen Yuan did not know how the two had become entangled.

The concern is whether the Bai Qing'er Gu Yun knows is the same person he's talking about. Secondly, given their close relationship, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

At this moment, Chen Yuan did not reveal any other emotions.

As a powerful figure with considerable experience from his previous life, he did not lose his composure even under Gu Yun's oppressive aura.

If they really intended to take action, they would have done so already.

Gu Yun said in a calm voice.

"Who is this Bai Qing'er you're talking about?"

"Where do you live? How old are you?"

Chen Yuan remained silent for a while, not uttering a word, seemingly genuinely pondering Gu Yun's question.

In other words, his understanding of Bai Qing'er comes from deep within his memory, rather than from a rigid understanding.

This behavior struck Gu Yun as odd.

Normally, when you're looking for someone with a specific purpose, you should be able to rattle off their basic information immediately, because you'll need it frequently. But Chen Yuan wasn't like that.

The man in front of me, Chen Yuan, seems to have some connection with Bai Qing'er.

In Gu Yun's mind, Bai Qing'er was the only survivor in the entire village, and she had followed him all this time without ever having any contact with outsiders.

Isn't it the same person?

Am I being paranoid?

But Chen Yuan's next answer made Gu Yun instantly deny her idea.

"It should be a village at the foot of a mountain. As for the age, according to calculations, the child should be around nine years old now."

Not only Gu Yun, but Xiao Li also made a judgment at this moment: the Bai Qing'er that Chen Yuan mentioned was probably the same person as the Bai Qing'er beside him.

The silence lasted for a short while, but not for long.

"Give me a reason."

"Why are you looking for her?"

Chen Yuan seemed to have known that Gu Yun would ask this question, and blurted out the answer he had already prepared in his mind.

"she..."

"She is the person I love most in this world!"

This was the only thing Chen Yuan was unwilling to make up excuses for.

In fact, Chen Yuan had no better explanation than to tell the truth.

This will only increase Gu Yun's dissatisfaction.

Gu Yun: ?

Xiao Li: ?

Gu Yun was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Li was equally astonished.

Clearly, neither of them expected such an answer.

"what?"

Xiao Li couldn't hold back any longer, and his expression became somewhat agitated.

Bai Qing'er and Xiao Li have spent a considerable amount of time together, and in the past few months of living together, Xiao Li has almost regarded her as his own younger sister.

Even though he wasn't good with words, he couldn't help but feel angry at this moment.

He said in a deep voice, his tone clearly carrying an undisguised anger.

"No, buddy!"

"You said it yourself, she's only nine years old!"

"Nine years old!"

Is it a person?

In contrast, Gu Yun unusually put aside his hostility, as if he were thinking about something.

Following the reprimand, Chen Yuan turned to look at Xiao Li and replied truthfully.

"But I'm only twelve years old too."

"We are not that far apart in age."

This sentence seemed to freeze the air for a moment.

"How the hell can these be the same thing?!"

Xiao Li pinched the bridge of his nose, indicating that his head was a little big.

"Big brother, don't stop me! I'm going to beat him up!"

"I want him to know why the flowers are so red!"

He said he would beat her up.

He showed no intention of getting up; his buttocks seemed to be glued on, remaining completely still.

Gu Yun glanced at Xiao Li, then spread her hands to indicate that she would not stop him.

Although Xiao Li is a level higher than Chen Yuan, a seventh-level Saint Body is not a worthy opponent for Chen Yuan, even though Xiao Li also possesses Emperor's Will.

In their brief exchange, Gu Yun could sense that Chen Yuan had quite a few trump cards up his sleeve.

Moreover, Gu Yun knew Xiao Li; if he could really beat him, he would have already done it.

Xiao Li's system has a simulation function that is often overlooked. It is activated when breaking through to the Sacred Body. Gu Yun knows that Xiao Li must have used this function during the time just now. Knowing that he was no match for him, he could only resort to empty words.

"You can't beat me."

Even if you are a sacred body.

"Even if you possess the Emperor's Will."

Chen Yuan stated a fact casually, without any hint of sarcasm on his face, but it still felt like a knife piercing Xiao Li's heart.

Xiao Li's face twitched.

unhappy.

Very unhappy.

Very unhappy.

But the momentary glare and silence forced Xiao Li to admit the truth: he had simulated the fight and realized he couldn't win.

He clearly possessed the Emperor's Will, and in theory should have been invincible among those of the same level. Yet he was still killed by someone of a higher level. It was too embarrassing, especially since he had boasted to Bai Qing'er several times about protecting her.

Although they have different stances, Xiao Li is only protecting his brother, but he and Chen Yuan are clearly adversaries to Bai Qing'er. It would be too humiliating to lose to her enemy.

This is also why Xiao Li slightly lost his composure.

Gu Yun finished thinking and stared at Chen Yuan with his scarlet eyes, a glint of something intriguing flashing in them. This made Chen Yuan's heart beat slightly faster, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart. It seemed that Gu Yun knew something.

"You knew he possessed the Emperor's Will?"

"How did you know?"

Chen Yuan did not answer directly.

"Can this even be considered a problem?"

Gu Yun shook his head, gave a wicked laugh, and a flash of purple light appeared in his eyes.

"Not counting."

"So, you can choose not to answer."

Seeing Gu Yun's expression that said if he couldn't answer, he shouldn't answer at all, and he shouldn't speak for the rest of his life, Chen Yuan felt somewhat helpless. This was not a secret to him.

"Those who possess the Emperor's Will have a different aura surrounding them."

"There is a special feeling of being integrated with the world."

"Hmm...it's like..."

Gu Yun interrupted Chen Yuan, who was pondering how to use an analogy, and said.

"Stop comparing, the Emperor's will is part of the rules."

Just say it directly.

"They think they're special because they're being roundabout."

"I may know more than you think."

"The power of rules is the supreme power that sustains the entire world, so only those who possess the imperial will, that is, those who master the power of rules, can present a feeling of being integrated with the world."

"right?"

Chen Yuan nodded in astonishment, momentarily surprised by Gu Yun's extensive knowledge and simultaneously admiring Gu Yun's comprehension.

"you……"

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, snapped his fingers, and golden innate energy surged out instantly, briefly weaving into a shield that enveloped the three of them.

Although Chen Yuan was somewhat uneasy, he thought that if Gu Yun really wanted to make a move against him, there was no need to wait until now, so he did not try to escape or stop him.

"You are a reborn person, right?"

"Because only in this way can everything that happened to you be explained."
