Chapter 1174: The Odd Brain Circuit of Su Kexin

Chapter 1174: The Odd Brain Circuit of Su Kexin

No matter where they were, there was always a period where he and Su Kexin were just talking at cross purposes.

Of course, that’s just a metaphor—not suggesting one was a duck and the other a chicken.

But they did have that potential; Su Kexin had never done anything chicken-like, while Lin Nuo had certainly engaged in duck-like activities.

He had charmed several ladies, mastering skills that made even real ducks look inferior.

Otherwise, why would those ladies be so eager to engage in romantic escapades with him? Even the cool and aloof Qin Shili would take off her pretentious mask around him.

For a sweet girl like Su Kexin, who was just beginning to taste the delights of romance, she longed to recreate those passionate moments with Lin Nuo constantly.

At this moment, Su Kexin was still trying to process everything, her mind spinning.

What does this mean? What does Senior Brother mean by this?

“Senior Brother, what do you mean?”

“What do I mean… you still haven’t figured it out?”

Lin Nuo felt helpless; was she really this oblivious?

This was just too ridiculous.

“Sorry, I haven’t figured it out yet… Senior Brother, how can you be him here? Clearly, you’ve escaped the Xuanyun Sect here. The Master Sister is dead, and we don’t have the experience of the Wind Sea Forest trial, and…”

“All right, let’s drop that. It’s no big deal.”

Lin Nuo was too bored to argue further; if she couldn’t figure it out, so be it. He shouldn’t have had such high expectations of her, this silly girl.

“Senior Brother, I really can’t figure it out… please tell me, what does it mean?”

“Then how did you get here?”

“Me? Let me think. Hmm… it seems I took a nap with Senior Brother, and then… oh right! How I got here is how you got here!”

Su Kexin’s eyes lit up with realization.

Yes, how I got here is how you got here! Why didn’t I think of that earlier!

“Are you really Senior Brother???” Su Kexin found it hard to believe.

“Hmm… how should I respond to that? Am I a fake? Which Senior Brother are you talking about?”

Lin Nuo was momentarily stumped; she called him “Senior Brother” so many times, did she think he was a fake?

“The Senior Brother in my place, of course! Oh, wait! What if we slept together and then ended up here? Looks like there’s some divine arrangement at play!”

Su Kexin became all excited; if this was the Senior Brother she loved, then she wouldn’t be alone!

“I say, can you think a bit faster? Forget it, I didn’t expect much from you anyway. It’s normal not to figure it out; not much about you is normal to begin with. So, did you replace the original Su Kexin?”

Lin Nuo asked, implying a typical soul replacement operation where the original Su Kexin’s body had been overtaken by her.

“I don’t know. Before this, I reached the Xuanyun Sect, and there I met another me—she seems to belong to this place. But here, I have no idea.”

“Wait, what?”

Lin Nuo was quite shocked.

No, this isn’t a soul replacement operation; you just jumped from another world!

And what about me?

Is there another me out there?

Just forget it; he had already killed a bunch of people, drained the Magic Spring—there wouldn’t be any version of him still around!

Thinking too much, perhaps they arrived at different places—there was no soul replacement occurring here.

“So you’ve met her? What did you talk about? Wasn’t she shocked?”

“Sure, she was shocked. Then she told me about you—not you specifically, but another Senior Brother. Hmm… I can’t figure it out either… is that other Senior Brother also about you?”

This deep connection was burning out Su Kexin’s CPU; she was struggling to keep up.

“Just consider it so.”

He couldn’t give her a solid and scientific explanation for everything.

They should be considered the same person, both experiences he’d gone through.

“Oh! Okay! She meant what you experienced at the Xuanyun Sect and the Master Sister. The Master Sister passed away. Sigh, Senior Brother, what happened? Didn’t you go to save her?”

“Didn’t you hear what those people said? In the state I was in at the Xuanyun Sect, I didn’t even have the opportunity to go out for trials. How could I save her?”

“Hmm… but you clearly saved her! If it weren’t for you annihilating the traitors in Wutu City, the Master Sister would have been in serious danger!”

“I’ve said it before, I don’t have that kind of ability…”

The more Lin Nuo spoke, the more helpless he felt. How could he explain this in a way she’d understand?

He was waiting online, getting anxious. If this continued, either she’d go mad, or he, Lin Nuo, would be the one driven to insanity first.

“Senior Brother, you’ve said it yourself. You’re the same person, then how, how could you change so much? Why do you have the ability now? There must be some reason behind it!”

Su Kexin pivoted the conversation, leaving Lin Nuo momentarily speechless.

Wait a minute, are you trying to pry information out of me here?

What a cunning little vixen!

But it probably wouldn’t remain hidden; the heavens had brought Su Kexin here to guide her in understanding his past.

Honestly, if she learned the truth, how would they face each other?

After all, according to the story, they eventually became bitter enemies and fought ruthlessly.

He had come to terms with it; he just didn’t know if she could do the same.

Fine, let’s tone it down a bit.

Lin Nuo replied:

“As you can see, you came here; I can certainly go to your world too. It’s just a transfer through time and space, understand? If I’ve cultivated successfully, going back to the past means I’d be rampaging everywhere!”

“Oh! I see! Then how did Senior Brother cultivate to become so powerful? According to their description, you used to be weak, even at the bottom of the sect. But now your strength is on par with those elders. Where did you go afterwards? What did you experience? Do we have any overlap after that?”

Su Kexin was filled with countless confusions, eager for Lin Nuo to answer them all. She wanted to understand his past fully; otherwise, she wouldn’t be worthy of him.

“Later, I went into seclusion, and while I was at it, I went back, and then everything that followed happened.”

Lin Nuo told a white lie, omitting the part where he made trouble and Su Kexin rose to become his rival.

Less is more; just think of it this way—in her eyes, at least his image would be slightly more impressive.

“Is that so…? So, Senior Brother, what about that woman? Regarding my other personality? It seems like she has some grievances with you… It doesn’t feel like another personality; it’s more like what I developed into later.”

“You have no idea…”

The more Lin Nuo listened, the more absurd it sounded. Seriously, now your brain is working? You managed to figure that out?

He really wanted to tell her, “That’s you! You’re that disgusting woman!”

But she’d probably just spiral into self-doubt.
