Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 716: Deeply Rooted Feelings (161)
The X587 plane crash incident was completely forgotten by the general public, no one mentioned the two hundred-plus lives lost anymore.
For the rubbernecking masses, it was enough that the murderer was caught as an announcement to the souls of the dead.
As for anything else, nobody cared.
Long Fengxi, being especially oppressed lately, was taken by Shen Congmo to go out and unwind, considering her health.
Liang He’s Weibo stopped posting about personal life; the only posts were either endorsements or advertisements.
Gu Lili, since her artists were not famous, wasn’t that busy either. Soon she would have Tan Xiao participate in a singing competition, and as for the others, there were no further plans for now; they were learning under the guidance of famous teachers.
Desperate to stand out and seeking good development opportunities, each of the five was working harder than the last. Gu Lili bluntly declared that anyone causing trouble or engaging in illicit practices would be immediately expelled from the company and pay a substantial penalty for breach of contract, with no forgiveness.
Thus, no one dared to act out and instead focused wholeheartedly on their studies.
Gu Lili was full of praise for their attitude, hoping it would continue.
Days seemed to dilute as the search for one’s true self remained without further progress.
Back home today, Long Yubei saw her enter and waved her over with a smile that had long been absent, "Lili, come here."
Gu Lili’s step halted; this was the first time he had smiled since Tian Jiao’s incident.
Her hand, holding her bag, loosened a bit as she walked forward, "What’s up?"
Long Yubei pulled her over and seated her on his lap, hugging her from behind with hands encircling her front, and whispered, "Look at this."
Gu Lili set her bag aside and took a stack of papers from his hands.
Her eyes fell upon it, "What is this...?"
"These are the names of all the women from various realms with cultivations of over twenty thousand years. I figured out the time when I first met rouwan, and using that as the cutoff, this list is of those who had no soul from that point and are still unawakened to this day, a total of 72."
Gu Lili casually flipped through them, then looked back at him, "How did you get these lists?"
"I asked a few brothers, including close friends and Immortal Jun Yu, to inquire. They’re almost all on here." Long Yubei rested his chin in her neck, "Based on the disappearance of the ancient text, about twenty thousand years ago, we can say that your original being has at least twenty thousand years of life, which narrows down the scope of the investigation. This list might have your true self."
Gu Lili thought he hadn’t had the time to think about this recently, but unexpectedly, he had been quietly working on it. She was moved, stretching her left arm to embrace his neck and twisting her body to face him, "Then how can I verify if it’s me?"
"We can only use the process of elimination, one by one."
"When you and Lin Yueer returned to your original beings, it was involuntary because your father knew who you were reincarnated as. If he didn’t end the reincarnation, naturally, you couldn’t go back. I’m bold to speculate, to return, must my life also end?"
"Then why, when rouwan died, were you directly reincarnated instead of returning to your original self?"
"Yes, why..."
"Perhaps initially, someone sealed you inside rouwan’s body, sealing your Primordial Spirit, not the Li Mao. If that’s the case, only when your Primordial Spirit itself breaks the seal under the right circumstances can you return."
