It wasn’t that Shen ShuiYan discovered something. Right now he had no way to really distinguish Chu MuYun, because he has lost his control over the Gate of Life and can no longer find Chu MuYun’s soul through it.
But he knew that Mo JiuShao could, that he had a unique way to distinguish Chu MuYun’s soul.
This method was reflected when Chu MuYun was reborn on the body of an ice spirit beast after his death.
Mo JiuShao showed Shen ShuiYan the contents in the mirror but the important part was hidden, so Shen ShuiYan had no way of knowing what the method was.
That’s why he needs to cooperate with Mo JiuShao.
Now the reason why he is so sure that Ah-Yun is back and is in the WuQing Palace is because of Mo JiuShao’s previous behavior.
Why did he mention Ling Xuan in front of other people? Why did he say, in front of so many people, “If Ling Xuan comes, you should keep him for a few days.”
These words were not simply for him, but to hint to another person.
He was talking to Chu MuYun.
Mo JiuShao recognized that Chu MuYun was in the hall, so he used such vague words to remind him not to go to Ling Xuan, otherwise he would be caught.
Shen ShuiYan stood up suddenly, his long sleeved middle fingers clenched into fists and he didn’t even notice the blood spilling from the nails on his palms.
Ah-Yun was back and Ah-Yun was around him.
Just this realization made him feel dizzy and the strong upwelling emotions seemed to materialize, circling in his mind, and made him feel completely overwhelmed.
In fact, this is ridiculous. After searching for a thousand years and waiting for three thousand years, more than half of his life was spent on this man. Such a long time, such a changeable world, such a constantly changing alternation of the sun and the moon, no matter how deep the feelings, they should be exhausted by now, no matter how deep the obsessions, they should be washed away by now, no matter how terrifying the thoughts, they should should be washed away now. They should be all gone like the flow of water.
But that hadn’t happened at all. Let alone disappear, they had not even faded.
Just like a puddle of water frozen in the cold sky and snow, it couldn’t melt at all, and only became even more and more large and hard under the accumulation of frost and snow. It became more and more impossible to move.
In the past three thousand years, ShuiYan has known almost everything.
He knew of Chu MuYun’s entanglement with Mo JiuShao and Yan Chen, and he knew that he was injured so deeply that after two deaths, all his thoughts were lost in the end.
He also knew that Ling Mu was Shen Yun, knew his obsession with Ling Xuan, and knew that he did not hesitate to use Jun Mo and Ye JianHan for Ling Xuan, but in the end he was completely defeated.
But even after knowing so much, ShuiYan still couldn’t see where the man’s heart was.
He was affectionate and righteous, but was also fickle and emotionless.
When he loves you, he is willing to give everything for you, bear everything, endure all, and give you the most beautiful love that no one can replace, then he then will withdraw and leave.
True… he did the wrong thing, he pushed him away.
But why is he so addicted to it that he can’t extricate himself, and he doesn’t even have the heart to move a step, but Chu MuYun can look away clearly and be so affectionate with another person so quickly?
At one time, Shen ShuiYan saw what Chu MuYun did for Ling Xuan, and he became crazy with jealousy. He wished that this man could be cut into eight pieces. He wished that Ling Xuan would disappear forever and not even a single hair of him would appear again in this world.
But…Shen ShuiYan didn’t dare, he knew very clearly that if Ling Xuan died, Chu MuYun would never appear.
How ridiculous that he had to let go in order to monopolize!
In fact, Shen ShuiYan also thought about it, why not really let it go? Since it’s been like this, they can’t go back, why couldn’t he just let go?
But as soon as this thought arose, a huge sense of fear seized his heart and the terrible feeling of losing everything and losing the meaning of life made him quickly give up the idea.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Not to mention one thousand years, three thousand years, he has waited longer, so this means nothing!
He can’t lose, can’t lose again.
After Shen ShuiYan woke up, he didn’t even know where these thoughts came from, but his heart, blood, and soul were telling him: Never let go.
This is the only thing he can’t do anyway.
He walked out of the courtyard and quickly called over all the people who served in the front hall at that time.
But although Chu MuYun didn’t listen to the entire conversation, just a few words were enough for him to guess 70% to 80%.
Shen ShuiYan had seen the appearance of the earliest Shen Yun and, at that time, Shen Yun and Chu MuYun (the little white flower version) were born exactly the same, but later the body of the ice spirit beast acted as he wanted and so it gradually changed. The appearance was restored to the appearance of Chu MuYun’s previous life.
The discord between Mo JiuShao and Yan Chen was a big deal. It is estimated that when the Gate of Life rioted, Shen ShuiYan sent someone to investigate. From this, you could determine that Chu MuYun (the ice spirit beast) was Shen Yun.
And Mo JiuShao had a way to identify Chu MuYun’s soul, so the two cooperated to find him when he was resurrected.
As for how Mo JiuShao recognized it, there must be no way for Shen ShuiYan to know. Mo JiuShao would definitely hold onto his trump card, he would be so foolish as to reveal it.
But Chu MuYun knew it, it was nothing but the poison of the fierce fire. {Sorry I can’t remember what Helliot translated this as from the earlier chapters, can someone in the comments remind me?}
After the memory mirror, another cheating device appeared in Mo JiuShao’s place, which made President Chu feel a little nervous.
And this time, he didn’t have a chance to find something to suppress this damn poison.
However, he could use this to communicate with Ling Xuan.
What can he do now? Ling Xuan must be closely watched by now, and his whereabouts will be revealed wherever he goes.
As for Yan Chen’s place… Mo JiuShao might not care but Shen ShuiYan would be alert and would have had someone installed by him.
All of a sudden, Chu MuYun stood up abruptly— he couldn’t stay in this foggy place any longer.
There were a total of twenty-three people who were serving in the front hall before. Shen ShuiYan looked at them one by one but suddenly stared at Ah-Si.
Ah-Si and Shen Yun are very similar, their facial features are very similar, but their temperament was completely different. In Shen ShuiYan’s memory, Shen Yun has always been strong and wise. Even when it comes to the bedroom, even when he is the most complacent, the forbearance in his bones made it impossible to treat him as a weakling even in those moments.
But the young man in front of him was extremely weak. With such a face, he was so timid and cowardly, which was extremely disgusting for Shen ShuiYan.
He felt that this person tarnished Ah-Yun and he felt that this person was not worthy of such a face.
If it wasn’t for Ah-Yun’s rebirth, he would definitely destroy all these copies and fakes!
How could they be qualified to look exactly like Ah-Yun? It was unbearable just thinking about it.
But now… he has to endure.
ShuiYan passed over him with disgust, and continued to look back and forth.
In fact, Shen ShuiYan didn’t know how to identify Ah-Yun, but he had time. None of the twenty-three people could leave, so he could always find his Ah-Yun slowly and surely.
Compared with the long three thousand years and the vast sea of people, the current scope was really too small!
Thinking like this, Shen ShuiYan suddenly turned around and stared at Ah-Si.
“It wasn’t you before.”
