645: Chapter 56 Acting and Debate

"It's done."

As the last spot on Tang Xuejian's face vanished, Meng Li withdrew his red hand.

Hearing this, Lan Kui and Xu Maoshan curiously stared at Tang Xuejian's face, examining it closely. They were surprised to find that not a single blemish remained.

Immediately after, Lan Kui reached out and nudged Tang Xuejian, waking her from her slumber.

Upon waking, Tang Xuejian was dazed for a moment. Once she regained her senses, she instinctively touched her face and asked those present, "How is my face?"

Lan Kui smiled and said, "It's healed. All those spots are gone."

"Really?" Tang Xuejian exclaimed. She quickly scanned the room, spotted a bronze mirror by the window, and rushed over to look at herself.

Seeing her beautiful face in the mirror truly restored to its original state, she felt relieved and cried out joyfully, "It really is healed!"

"All those spots are gone!"

Then, Tang Xuejian ran up to Meng Li and said with a grateful expression, "Thank you, Mr. Meng! Mr. Meng, you are truly amazing!"

Meng Li gave a faint smile.

Just then, Jing Tian and Xu Changqing walked in, catching the tail end of Tang Xuejian's words.

Jing Tian couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What do you mean Elder Brother Meng is amazing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tang Xuejian clearly and was instantly surprised. "Pig Woman, your face is back to normal?!"

Tang Xuejian nodded. "It's all thanks to Mr. Meng. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would have taken two or three months to recover."

After saying that, she turned and asked, "How did things go with you and Grandmaster Changqing?"

Jing Tian glanced at the silent Xu Changqing and answered honestly, "It's mostly done. White Tofu has recovered his memories."

After speaking, he saw Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan lock eyes, looking at each other in silence. Sensing they must have much to say, he spoke up, "Alright, White Tofu needs to heal Miss Zi Xuan now. Let's head out first."

Having said his piece, he turned and walked out.

Meng Li had long expected this and stepped out first.

Xu Maoshan, Tang Xuejian, Hong Kui, and Lan Kui followed one after another.

After leaving Xu Changqing's room, the group didn't return to their own rooms but instead went to the first-floor lobby to wait for the outcome.

During this time, Xu Maoshan, still confused, asked Jing Tian, "Boss, what exactly is going on between Grandmaster Changqing and Miss Zi Xuan? I don't quite understand."

Now that Xu Changqing's memories were unsealed, things like poisonous oaths naturally no longer mattered.

Thus, after a moment's thought, Jing Tian began to recount the story to Xu Maoshan vividly.

"Their story is a long one."

"The specifics start over two hundred years ago, with White Tofu's life before his previous one..."

Tang Xuejian was aware of the situation. Due to her age, she was not only moved by the tragic love spanning two lifetimes between Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan but also felt deep sympathy for Zi Xuan as a fellow woman. As Jing Tian told the story, she added a few words from time to time. When her emotions ran high, she would even project herself into the roles, dragging Jing Tian into an impromptu performance right then and there.

However, their acting skills left much to be desired, and many parts were performed quite flamboyantly.

Meng Li felt it was a bit hard to watch.

Hong Kui also frowned from time to time.

On the contrary, Xu Maoshan and Lan Kui watched intently, clearly engrossed.

Once Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian finished their performance, Xu Maoshan raised a question with a puzzled look: "Gu Liufang and Lin Yeping are the same person. Even I understand such a simple truth, so why didn't Lin Yeping understand?"

Because Tang Xuejian had been so immersed in the acting, her emotions were still high. Hearing this question, she turned and pointed at Jing Tian, saying, "That's just how you men are!"

"Narrow-minded and thinking without using your brains."

"Sister Zi Xuan's painstaking efforts were wasted on you, and yet you still turn around and blame her!"

"To think Sister Zi Xuan would be heartbroken over a man like that, sigh."

Seeing this, Meng Li couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Noticing this, Lan Kui couldn't help but ask, "Elder Brother Meng, is what Sister Xue Jian said incorrect?"

Meng Li replied, "She didn't answer Mao Mao's question at all; she's just emotional and purely venting."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Maoshan and asked, "Mao Mao, do you know who you were in your past life?"

Xu Maoshan was a bit dazed but still shook his head. "I don't know."

"Why don't you know?" Meng Li asked again.

"Huh?"

This completely stumped Xu Maoshan, and he scratched his head in confusion. "I just don't know."

Beside Meng Li, Hong Kui seemed to realize something and provided the answer: "Because you don't have memories of your previous life, and no one has told you who you were."

Meng Li nodded. "Exactly."

Then, he followed up, "It was the same for Lin Yeping. He had no memories of his past life, and no one told him the truth. Naturally, he wouldn't know that Gu Liufang was his previous self. Besides, Reincarnation is something difficult for ordinary people to believe. Following normal logic, one wouldn't even think in that direction."

"Therefore, it was only natural for him to become suspicious of Zi Xuan."

Xu Maoshan suddenly understood. "That makes sense."

Tang Xuejian was at a loss for words, but her emotions hadn't subsided yet, so she argued stubbornly, "But we women would remember."

After saying that, she looked toward Lan Kui and Hong Kui, intending to gain their support.

But before Hong Kui and Lan Kui could respond, Meng Li said to Tang Xuejian with a smile, "Is that so? Then tell me, who were you in your past life, and who was the person you loved?"

Tang Xuejian was instantly tongue-tied.

She also had no memories of her past life, so how could she know who she was?

However, Tang Xuejian didn't give up. Instead, she pointed at Hong Kui and Lan Kui and said, "The two of them remember, and they've remembered for over a thousand years."

Meng Li shook his head. "Long Kui did not enter Reincarnation. Although they've lived for over a thousand years, it can only be counted as one lifetime. If we use them as an example, they likely wouldn't know about their life before the Ancient Kingdom of Jiang either."

To his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Lan Kui raised her hand and said, "Elder Brother Meng, Hong Kui and I do know."

Meng Li: "?"

"Mu Nianci. You told us," Hong Kui reminded him.

Meng Li: "..."

Tang Xuejian and Xu Maoshan felt confused and curious.

"Who is Mu Nianci?" Tang Xuejian asked.

"My sister's other lifetime," Jing Tian replied, snapping out of his acting state, then added, "Not just my sister, but also me and Elder Brother Meng."

Tang Xuejian and Xu Maoshan were greatly surprised.

Then, Tang Xuejian caught the scent of some juicy gossip and hurriedly pressed, "So you've known each other for a long time? Tell us about it."

"Sure." Jing Tian shook his legs, stood up, and placed his hands on his hips. "In that lifetime, I was called 'Guo Jing.' My Martial Arts were formidable, and I was a grandmaster of the age, a great hero and a champion for the country and its people..."

Halfway through, he couldn't help but start acting again, even more immersed than before, even calling for Hong Kui, Lan Kui, and Meng Li to join in.

After all, the previous performance was Xu Changqing's story, which was a tragedy.

This time, he was acting as "himself," and it was a gratifying story of growing into a grandmaster and a great hero.

The two experiences were on completely different levels.

But after watching, Tang Xuejian raised a doubt...
