Chapter 756: Truth and Lie

A pale hand lifted the curtain. Li Xiang gazed out, her eyes as placid as calm water, long hair equally as smooth. She lifted her lashes and met his eyes. Weiheng Hui.

Li Xiang. Will you walk with me? Hui suggested.

I have something to say

Please. Walk with me.

Li Xiang paused. She nodded and stepped out of her room. But afterward, please listen to me.

Hui nodded, scratching the back of his neck. Ah yes. Of course.

They walked for a bit. Hui moved quietly, hiding his qi signature under Li Xiangs. In case they notice Im missing. Though I think Jun Ke and Sa Zhangli will keep up the drama show for quite a while longer, as long as Cho Haoli and Xi Muchen dont get bored and interrupt. Ah, and I got the impression that Xi Muchen was amused by the whole thing, so I dont think thats about to happen.

After about five minutes, he looked at Li Xiang. I know what youre going to tell me.

Hui nodded. Ive seen this all before. Were caught in a loop. The Golden Immortal manipulates time, and you are beholden to the cycle. I am almost in the same state as yourself. If I ever deteriorate to that point, then the game is over. I dont know what happens then, but Im afraid to find out.

Thats a crazy thing to say, and yet, given Li Xiangs personality? I think shed go insane if I tried to explain something like the base lack of truth to the world, as opposed to simply giving her a handy explanation that she can latch on to for comfort. After all, to explain that to her would be for her to be forced to reject every single thing she sees or understands from this point onward. For someone like me, understanding that I cant fully comprehend any part of the world is easy to accept. For Li Xiang, to realize that she cannot know the truth of anything would break her.

Li Xiang frowned. A particle and a wave?

Hui gestured. A ball of qi appeared before him. You can think of waves as energy, pure energy. As for particles, those are what solids are made up of. A wave can be made up of particles, as waves upon the ocean, but fundamentally, if something is a form of energythat is, a wave, it cannot also be a physical objectthat is, a particle.

Her brows furrowed. Then how is light

Hui beamed at her. Precisely. Light is a special type of thing, that possesses the attributes of both pure energy and particles at the same time. It should be impossible, and yet, it possesses two traits that must reject one another at the same time. Li Xiang, why not follow the example of light? Superposition yourself. Become both a sword and a woman at the same time. Ah, isnt it easier? Since both you and the sword are made up of particles. Light has to fundamentally oppose the most basic laws of reality. You simply have to become two solid objects at once.

Li Xiangs eyes shone with the light of enlightenment. She dropped to the ground beside him and entered a meditative pose. Qi circulated wildly all around her, spinning at top speed, pouring into her body. Her sword unsheathed itself and hovered over her lap, glowing as qi also poured into it. To be both the woman and the sword, Li Xiang whispered.

Good, good, Hui said, nodding. He glanced around, a little nervous. Er, I certainly hope the Inspectors dont come to inspect this riotous qi. Ah, haha, I might have made a small mistake How was I supposed to expect that such a simple explanation would cause Li Xiang to directly enter enlightenment?

High overhead, gold light glittered. Hui glanced around, searching for a place to hide, then quickly compressed himself and jumped into Li Xiangs sleeve. In here, I should be safe! Theres so much qi flying around that theres no way theyll notice me. Right, right. Im just a small little mouse hiding in her sleeve!

Though, if they move to attack or disturb Li Xiang, I wont let that happen. Elder Siblings Inspectors, please be nice! Theres no need to disturb an earnest practitioner already beholden to the loop like Li Xiang! You have no reason to bother her, no reason at all!

The gold light grew brighter as the Inspectors hurtled down toward the street. Hui held his breath. Compressing his presence, qi, and everything to the utmost, he laid completely still in Li Xiangs sleeve and waited.
