Chapter 1168: We Are from Different Worlds

“You… who are you?!”

Two identical Su Kexins stared at each other, fingers pointed like they were mirrors.

Who is this other person? Why do they look exactly like me?

The traveling Su Kexin examined the dream-born Su Kexin, feeling like the other was some sort of imposter sneaking into the Xuanyun Sect.

“I ask you, who are you? Why do you look like me? Are you someone impersonating me?!”

The traveling Su Kexin shot questions at the dream version, who tossed the same inquiry right back.

Yet neither was getting anywhere as they repeated the same question over and over, like a broken record.

Meanwhile, they chattered away without disturbing Han Fairy, who had only recently entered, and there was no one else around.

It seemed like the entire world consisted of just the two of them.

“Wait, you…”

The traveling Su Kexin seemed to have a revelation, abruptly cutting off this topic, as they continued questioning each other in vain.

Having experienced so much, the traveling Su Kexin had gained some smarts. Sure, she could still act a bit clueless at times, but now she suddenly realized the crux of the issue.

In this place, she must be the outsider, right?

Based on everyone’s previous behavior, she clearly felt out of place—obviously, she didn’t belong here.

If she didn’t belong here, then the other must be the one who does.

Yes, that must be it.

So if she caused any trouble in the Xuanyun Sect, she’d definitely be suspect, because she didn’t know what had previously transpired and asking about it would only make her look like an undercover troublemaker.

Of course, that was just her personal speculation.

But if it was true, what should she do? Run? Or try to explain? Would the other believe her? They’d probably think she was spouting nonsense, right?

Maybe she should give it a shot.

“You should be me from this place, right? Although I don’t know why I’m here, you must be the ‘me’ who belongs here.”

The traveling Su Kexin questioned the dream Su Kexin, who looked thoroughly confused.

“What do you mean? What do you mean by ‘belonging here’ or ‘not belonging’? Hurry up and explain, or I might have to draw my sword!”

The dream version was a year younger, but given their experiences, the traveling Su Kexin had clearly been through more; after all, she had been through countless side quests with Lin Nuo, learning a lot along the way, making her much more mature. The dream version impulsively brandished her sword.

“Um… please don’t draw your sword. Let me finish… I’m saying… um… now I’m not sure how to explain anymore! Let’s put it this way, your time here is like last year compared to mine. Uh, that’s not quite right. Uh… our experiences are different…”

The traveling Su Kexin was starting to get confused herself. She struggled to understand how to explain her logic clearly.

“What are you talking about? Listen, don’t think of any tricks! Even if it’s just the two of us here, I’ll definitely capture you and take you to the masters for questioning. So much has happened in the sect; you must be involved somehow!”

The dream Su Kexin held her sharp sword towards the traveling Su Kexin. Their senior sister had passed away, and their brother had escaped to the demonic path; although she was the youngest, she felt the need to step up.

“No, I don’t mean any harm! Please don’t get all worked up. I don’t know if you can understand, but I’m from another world, and what happens there is very different from here. For example, in my world, the senior sister didn’t die, and the brother became a celebrated hero. Although he’s dabbled in the dark arts, he never intended harm to the world…”

The traveling Su Kexin babbled on, trying to be as coherent and clear as possible in hopes of getting through to the other.

Of course, with the other’s current intellect, it was still hard for her to grasp what she was driving at.

But the other’s sword began to lower, showing her willingness to discuss.

“Though I don’t understand what you’re saying, it seems there might be truth to it. You mean you are from another world?”

“Yes, yes! Do you believe me?” The traveling Su Kexin asked, hopeful.

“I believe a little, but I don’t fully understand. I just have this vague feeling that you’re not a bad person. Why are you here? What you said about the senior sister not dead and the brother becoming a hero is far too outlandish for me.”

The dream Su Kexin replied. Rather than just a character crafted in another’s dream, she felt alive, like she existed in a different dimension.

“Yes, indeed. What happens here is also quite bizarre to me. It seems there are completely different trajectories, yet they are slightly connected. You know? Back in my world, my brother seems to have gone through everything in yours. Then he reached my world, but that’s just a guess. He appears to have a secret past. Do you know? During the Wind Sea Forest trials, he was sent out and started proving himself, completely changing. I wonder if that was when it all began?”

The traveling Su Kexin recounted Lin Nuo’s oddities, but upon mentioning the Wind Sea Forest trials, the dream Su Kexin looked surprised; Lin Nuo hadn’t been qualified to leave and had remained at Tianling Mountain for training.

“What you say is strange; my brother didn’t have the qualifications to go to the Wind Sea Forest. But if we’re talking about strange, how could a cultivator as low as him even get involved with a Demon Spirit? It’s puzzling. If he truly hid a Demon Spirit, why only now is it being uncovered? He couldn’t have been practicing demonic arts all this time at Tianling Mountain.”

After some thought, the dream Su Kexin replied, while the traveling Su Kexin wanted to explain her abilities along with their encounter in Ru Yu Village with the Wolf King and the Demon Master, noting that Lin Nuo had demon qi on him but it had been concealed by her outburst.

However, she kept those details to herself. With the complexity of the two worlds, continuing further might just confuse the other.

“Could you tell me about my brother’s condition since he started from the Wind Sea Forest until now?”

The traveling Su Kexin asked the dream version, eager for more information on Lin Nuo, as this might hold the key to understanding his hidden past.

“What condition? It’s always been terrible. I honestly haven’t paid much attention to my brother…”

The dream Su Kexin disclosed all she could, mentioning that Lin Nuo was still weak and looked down upon, still at the bottom of the hierarchy in the sect.

After hearing this, the traveling Su Kexin began to grasp the situation.

So, her brother has been struggling like this?

The question then arose, how did he become so powerful?

After falling into darkness!

Yes, after falling into darkness!

If that’s the case, then as time goes on, will this girl before her turn into that aloof, cold, and detestable Su Kexin?
