The sun and moon are both wrong: Starting with marrying Gongsun Ling

Chapter 48: The Beginning to Break the Deadlock?

looks like?

Looking at Shi Guagua's tense face, Lü Buyi asked himself this question—

Theoretically speaking, it is almost impossible for a person to see what a child will look like when she grows up.

Therefore, discussing similarities becomes meaningless.

But Lü Buyi had also seen Gongsun Ling when she was about ten years old.

Therefore, no one in the world knows better than him whether the two are similar.

Stone melon...

He had known of this person's existence for a long time, because she would be the last person to possess the power of causality before the final day.

It is also the origin of the six lifetimes and five worlds and the concept of "no-self"—

Lu Buyi, who was able to have simple conversations with Wanye, was certainly aware of this person's existence.

only……

He truly hadn't expected that she would look so much like his wife.

If it weren't for the fact that their primordial spirits were different, Lü Buyi would have suspected that her relationship with his wife was like that of Duan Xinglian and Chen.

"Was His involvement in this?"

Whether the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries interfered or not is unclear to Lü Buyi, but He is certainly capable of doing such a foolish thing.

"So what if it's similar?" Lu Buyi replied expressionlessly to Baili Yuan's question.

"In the end, it's just a resemblance."

"How similar exactly?" Baili Yuan asked with great interest after hearing Lü Buyi's admission.

"Three or four points, I guess—" Lu Buyi withdrew his gaze and met Baili Yuan's amused look.

"Really? But I think it's at least 70%..."

As Baili Yuan spoke, he brought up the past: "Otherwise, why would you, who didn't hesitate for a moment when your heart sutra was manipulated by the twelve great magical treasures during your battle with Jiang Mingzi in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, be stunned for so long because of our little pebble?"

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone so eager to claim kinship with me—"

Lü Buyi misunderstood Baili Yuan's meaning and said sarcastically, "You're courting death like this. Guess if Zhuo Zhao will kill you first when she wakes up."

The conversation between the two was very enigmatic, and Shi Guagua's ten-year-old brain could only comprehend a small part of it.

However, she could also tell that Baili Yuan and Lü Buyi were discussing how much she resembled someone.

quack!

Did the boss adopt me just to use me as someone's meal replacement?!

In 2020, an era rife with various meal replacement literature, it's hard for Shi Guagua not to think of this kind of thing.

However, Baili Yuan's next words dispelled Shi Guagua's worries and eagerness—

This also made Lü Buyi frown.

"You misunderstood me." Baili Yuan shrugged. "I just meant that if you and she had a child back then, it would probably look like my little Shizi, right?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"I remember you once really wanted to have a child with her, so I've come to fulfill your dream. Are you happy?"

Amidst Shi Guagua's confusion, Lü Buyi once again smashed Baili Yuan's head.

"First, I never had any hope."

"Secondly, I'm very unhappy."

"Thirdly, what brings you here today, and why did you bring this child with you for the first time?"

Baili Yuan seemed to have anticipated that he could not hide the truth from Lü Buyi.

So after the "selfless Dharma form" reconstructed his head, he spoke up after his lewd behavior.

"Lu Buyi, you should have sensed it long ago, right?"

"Using Gao Haoguang's opening of the 'Three Truths in the Same Month' edict in 1906 as a dividing line, after that, your memories of some parts of the history you experienced began to become blurred, didn't they?"

"Similarly, the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, after you took Zhao Yan and Shangguan Xiao away, also became blurred during the Jiang Mingzi era."

"If it weren't for the [All Industries Under One Month Order], we probably wouldn't even be able to contact Suiyuan from that era—"

Lü Buyi did not deny it; on the contrary, he knew this better than anyone else.

"Because of the existence of the [Three Truths in the Same Month Order], there are too many variables for Jiang Mingzi and Gao Haoguang. Until the final day of their fate, the cause and effect of both eras are still uncertain."

"So, long ago, the law of causality began to erase people's memories of those two points in time."

Baili Yuan snapped his fingers: "As you said, that's exactly why I came—"

"As you know, because of my casual actions back then, the Three Truths Method now only has two successors, Duan Xinglian and Zhou Liuqing."

"The third successor of the [Same Month Order] will definitely be chosen from among them."

"Now, as the time for the final battle of cause and effect draws ever closer, and as this period gradually enters a time of uncertainty regarding cause and effect, we can begin to take action against the two of them."

"To ensure that everything goes perfectly on the final day, I now intend to use the [Selfless Dharma Form] to turn these two into puppets."

"To prevent any major mishaps that might occur if one of them actually activates the [Same Month Order]—"

Do you agree?

"No." Lü Buyi would naturally answer like this, since he didn't like anyone disturbing his leisure time.

"I knew you'd say that. After all, only you would have such a twisted sense of humor to torture people—" Baili Yuan wasn't disappointed; on the contrary, he had expected it.

How dare you say that to me?

Lu Buyi chuckled lightly: "I still vividly remember the scene I witnessed when this era had just awakened."

"Besides the limitations of the law of causality, didn't you stop them from possessing or even killing others at the time? Didn't you also have your own perverse sense of humor?"

"ha!"

"I don't deny it—" Baili Yuan was as shameless as ever; he was just that kind of despicable person.

But even though he had received an answer from Lü Buyi, he still did not give up immediately:

"Lu Buyi, I must remind you, Duan Xinglian and Chen seem to have some kind of intricate relationship."

Aren't you afraid that your cleverness will backfire?

"What if you mess things up in the end?"

"Did they go too far?"

"How did things go wrong?"

Lü Buyi curled the corners of his lips: "Even if I used the connection between them to pull Chen's primordial spirit from ancient times into Duan Xinglian's body in the present, what difference would it make?"

"Even if Duan Xinglian reaches an agreement with him to jointly deal with Wanye, what then?"

"Even if Duan Xinglian has a very high probability of carrying the remnants of the Myriad Realms left over from the last great war, so what?"

"I used the 'Practice Makes Perfect' technique to lay the groundwork and foreshadowing in the year the Gregorian calendar began—"

"Enough to shatter all things on the final day!"

"Therefore, it doesn't matter whether it's Duan Xinglian or Chen, or even Jiang Mingzi and Gao Haoguang."

"Right now, my happiness is the most important thing."

Lü Buyi asked softly, "Do you understand?"

Baili Yuan found it difficult to refute Lü Buyi's words, because they were exactly as Lü had said.

Lü Buyi's preparations over the past three thousand years, and the groundwork he laid for the final day.

This has almost secured the victory for Wanye on the final day.

But Baili Yuan has always believed that it's always best to plan ahead.

So, in response to Lü Buyi's answer, he shrugged and offered another idea:

"Since you disagree with this simplest solution, then I'll have to trouble myself to investigate Sanzhen's backup plan."

"I actually quite dislike giving it my all."

Lu Buyi glanced at him, his tone calm.

"I also want to remind you that sometimes the more you do something, the more mistakes you make. Don't do unnecessary things; you might save yourself a lot of trouble."

"Perhaps, but what can I say? I was born to be a workaholic."

Baili Yuan neither denied Lü Buyi's words, but he also found it difficult to give up his own choice, so he patted Shi Guagua's head.

She sighed softly.

Normally, after making his decision, Baili Yuan would leave without looking back.

But today seemed different. He looked up and met Lü Buyi's gaze.

"Won't you invite me and the little pebble next to me to your house for a visit?"

Lü Buyi didn't look at him, but instead looked at Shi Guagua next to Baili Yuan.

"Do you need something from me?"

"Um."

Baili Yuan said softly, "I need your help—"

At this moment, the gears that would determine the final day began to slowly turn.
