37: When Wan Musi learned about the diary, he became even more confused!

“Oh? You know Li Mu too?”

Wan Musi caught up and initiated a conversation, and the innocent Xing Mulan didn't find anything wrong with it.

After chatting for a while, the two became familiar. Socializing was child's play for Wan Musi; she had Xing Mulan completely under her thumb.

However, when the conversation inadvertently turned to Li Mu, Xing Mulan, who had a happy smile on her face, immediately showed a surprised expression in her eyes.

Then, looking at Wan Musi in front of her, she subconsciously asked, “Si Si Jie, do you also have a diary copy?”

A diary copy?

Wan Musi was stunned, completely not understanding what Xing Mulan meant by that.

But hearing her say that, this diary copy seemed to be no simple thing.

So she nodded, pretending she also had one, planning to extract some relevant information.

She now had a premonition that the Li Mu Xing Mulan was looking for might be the same person as her mission target!

And this premonition grew stronger and stronger.

Xing Mulan, this innocent girl, saw Wan Musi nod, and the smile on her face grew even wider. The moment she saw Wan Musi nod, she excitedly jumped up, as if she had discovered some Treasure Trove.

“Wow! I didn’t expect Si Si Jie to have one too!”

Saying that, Xing Mulan suddenly thought of something, her tone paused, and then her gaze returned to Wan Musi.

Her expression also began to change from the previous excitement, gradually widening her eyes: “Si Si Jie, you… you wouldn’t happen to be the Wan Musi who met Li Mu at his doorstep yesterday morning, would you?”

Hearing this, Wan Musi was stunned, and a thought subconsciously popped into her mind: How did she know?

Did she happen to see it?

But, since she knew where Li Mu’s house was, if she wanted to see him, she could just go directly to his house to find him. Why would she try her luck on the street?

She couldn't figure it out, completely couldn't figure out what was going on. She felt that her inner doubts were not resolved, but rather became more and more confused.

However, on the surface, Wan Musi did not show any abnormal reaction, so as not to attract Xing Mulan's attention.

She just nodded lightly: “Yes, I ran into him while having breakfast at a noodle shop downstairs from his house in the morning.”

“Wow!”

Xing Mulan became even more excited: “I read the contents of the diary before and thought you were a very cold and difficult person to get along with, but I didn't expect you to be so easygoing!”

As Xing Mulan spoke, she turned and put her arm around her, giggling, “I really didn’t expect Si Si Jie to be so great in the future!”

What is all this?

Wan Musi listened to Xing Mulan’s words, her eyes slightly widened, and her whole brain almost couldn’t react.

But she caught a key point!

It was the diary!

Was the matter of her meeting Li Mu yesterday something Li Mu wrote in his diary, but for some reason, Xing Mulan saw it, and that’s how she knew about her?

With just this bit of information, Wan Musi immediately analyzed a lot of useful things.

But, “will be very great in the future”?

What was that all about?

Did it mean she would do something in the future that would make her admire her?

But who could say what would happen in the future!

However, just as she was still pondering these things, Xing Mulan’s voice came again: “Si Si Jie, since you know where Li Mu lives, why don’t you… take me there?”

Wan Musi instantly came back to her senses, looked at Xing Mulan, who was looking at her with anticipation, and asked, “What are you going to him for?”

“Oh, dear…”

Xing Mulan was a little embarrassed: “He’s a big handsome guy! To make a friend, hehehe…”

“It’s just a bit of a shame that Li Mu is taken. I really envy that girl named Shi Niang.”

“Shi Niang?”

Wan Musi frowned. Among Li Mu’s information, there was no woman named Shi Niang among the people he interacted with.

Xing Mulan nodded: “Yes! It’s mentioned in the diary, Si Si Jie, did you forget?”

“Honestly, Li Mu and Shi Niang’s relationship, supporting each other, leaning on each other for nearly a hundred years, makes me a little envious!”

At this point, Xing Mulan even pouted with a sigh.

At her age, or rather, all women, almost all envy this kind of love where they support each other and grow old together.

Unfortunately, this beautiful feeling wasn't hers, Xing Mulan’s…

However, Xing Mulan’s words, heard by Wan Musi, made her even more stunned.

Li Mu and Shi Niang lived together for nearly a hundred years?

How is that possible? Isn't he only in his twenties! His identity information also shows him to be in his twenties…

Just as she thought of this, Wan Musi suddenly connected it to the feeling Li Mu gave her the two times she saw him.

That feeling of looking very young, but always feeling very weathered, melancholic, steady, nostalgic, his eyes always falling into memories from time to time.

These things are not something a young person in their twenties can have!

Thinking of these things, Wan Musi felt her breathing quicken, feeling as if she had grasped something important.

Then, eager to know the answer in her heart, she subconsciously asked, “So, what about this Shi Niang?”

“Shi Niang?”

Xing Mulan looked at her strangely, then said, “She should still be working in the City where she lives. The diary doesn't seem to mention the City where Shi Niang is.”

“Speaking of which, Si Si Jie, do you really have a diary?”

Xing Mulan frowned, looking at her with some confusion: “I always feel like you don’t know the contents of the diary…”

Wan Musi reacted, her mind racing, and then said, “It’s just that I’ve been too busy lately, so I always forget things.”

Saying that, Wan Musi also sighed and rubbed her head.

She said, “You’ve read the diary, so you should know what type of work I do.”

Xing Mulan nodded, understanding a little.

Seeing this, Wan Musi shrugged and continued, “So…”

Seeing that Xing Mulan finally no longer doubted, Wan Musi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she said, “Alright, I still have things to do, so I’ll leave first. You take your time.”

After speaking, Wan Musi turned and left without waiting for Xing Mulan to speak.

The information extraction was almost complete here; continuing would likely expose her!

Seeing Wan Musi leave, Xing Mulan only then reacted, and then quickly chased after her.

While chasing, she shouted, “Si Si Jie, wait for me, you haven’t taken me to Li Mu’s house yet!”

“Next time, I’m a bit busy this time. I’ll take you next time.”

Wan Musi’s voice came over: “I’ll call you when I’m done!”

Not long after she finished speaking, Wan Musi’s figure disappeared into the crowd. Xing Mulan lost her direction and finally had to give up.

However, Xing Mulan thought of something else, then happily took out her phone and called Ke Ming.

After all, this was the only other person she had seen with a diary, besides herself and Ke Ming.

So she wanted to tell Ke Ming this good news.

Meanwhile, after shaking off Xing Mulan, Wan Musi’s expression was not good, and her mind was in chaos.

Xing Mulan’s words kept echoing in her mind, making her feel even more confused!

She had thought she could extract some useful information from Xing Mulan.

However, she did extract a lot of information, but combining it only made her more perplexed!

She then entered a sparsely populated alley, leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her emotions.

She took out her special phone and dialed the direct line to the Grand Elder’s office…
