Chapter 1498: Chapter 1497: You’ve Changed So Much

If we were to follow that reasoning, Gu Tong had long lost her sanity, and being strong enough to stand up again was already quite remarkable. How could she possibly have the mental clarity to distinguish between truth and falsehood?

Moreover, some things are just like that—once they’re done, the ship has sailed, and even if doubt lingers in the heart, one no longer wants to further distinguish between them.

Li Yan dared not imagine what he would become if he lost Gu Tong, but he was certain his life wouldn’t be any better.

If someone told him Gu Tong was murdered... even if it was false, he would find a way to seek the truth...

As soon as the issue of past events was raised, everyone fell into deep silence.

The story tugged so deeply at their hearts that the repressed emotions became indescribable.

Li Yan lowered his eyelids and said, "No wonder your change is so profound; I’m starting to understand now!"

The events of that time were like a thorn, piercing deeply into their hearts.

Every matter had traces of investigation, transforming into another picture. Perhaps heart-to-heart talks are inherently good, but this topic is just too distressing.

Gong Chenli paused slightly and said, "The matters you’re discussing, though very real, are fraught with issues. Have you considered—not the future—but right now, there truly is nothing threatening enough to bring life and death separation, or even..."

Xia Xi was upset, glaring with widened eyes, said, "But these are the things we’ve experienced. Even if you want to deny them, they are established facts!"

Gong Chenli was left speechless: "..." Comparisons were made between past lives and current ones, though he knew nothing, yet he still had to be involved.

This feeling was incredibly unpleasant, even the smartest person couldn’t possibly know what a past life was like, right?

Gu Tong’s rationality still lingered, saying, "The past is the past; believe it or not, it’s reality. So this matter isn’t important; what’s crucial is now."

The statement was indeed correct.

If one clings tightly to past events, unwilling to let go, things might escalate to unimaginable extents, and various problems would follow one after another. So the best solution is to set it aside, completely let go, to find new hope.

Indeed...

This is the way to resolve the issue.

Xia Xi’s gaze turned somewhat dim as she said, "Gu Tong is right. Regarding this memory, our recollections cannot be connected, and there are many discrepancies among them, which are signs of our memory confusion..."

"At first, I thought this condition only affected me, but later, I discovered Gu Tong was the same. Though I didn’t know why, I was certain of one thing—our memories had been altered!"

Altered memories? That is yet another difficult pill to swallow.

Who could possess such immense capability?

Moreover, being separated by an entire lifetime, how could one manage to overturn memories completely?

The two atheistic men were completely baffled by this dialogue; to them, this was essentially a matter from another realm.

The topics discussed were evidently so close, yet extremely distant.

As if this weren’t something that could happen in the same world.

The two men fell into consecutive silences, their thoughts began to drift, and it was certainly not their fault; the matter was far too heavy, and anyone would need time to accept it.

Gu Tong and Xia Xi didn’t intend to force them but rather let things unfold naturally, giving them time to ponder.
