Chapter 743: Chapter 762: Ye Xuan’s Verification

Ye Xuan was perplexed about one thing. Since history had reverted due to the Great Devastation War, why did the Human World look so similar to what it was a hundred thousand years ago?

Unable to figure it out, Ye Xuan stopped pondering, for he was merely a passerby in the Human World and would leave before long.

“Eh, how come you’re here?”

Suddenly, a crisp female voice sounded in front of Ye Xuan, bringing him back to reality as he turned to look at the newcomer. When he saw the young girl before him, a smile curled up at the corners of his mouth.

“What a coincidence.”

Ye Xuan smiled and nodded. The person before him was the girl who had asked for his contact information earlier. Clearly, she was a student at the Sky Blue Academy, and their meeting here was purely by chance.

“Hello, my name is Li Ruotong. I’m pleased to meet you. What’s your name?” The girl hadn’t expected to run into Ye Xuan again, which made her laugh with delight.

“Ye Xuan,” he responded softly.

Hearing the name Ye Xuan, the girl giggled and took a seat beside him, becoming quite familiar. The two of them officially struck up a conversation.

“Are you looking for Chu Xuan? Are you perhaps his brother?”

As they chatted, the girl exclaimed in surprise, realizing that Ye Xuan sitting in front of her bore an uncanny resemblance to their school’s heartthrob.

“Wow.”

“Really alike,” the girl assessed Ye Xuan from head to toe, uttering sounds of amazement.

“Where is he now?” Ye Xuan asked with a smile.

“Our great school hunk Chu is of course with the school belle Qingxuan,” the girl chuckled. “Come on, I’ll take you to him.”

With those words, the girl tugged Ye Xuan toward the exit of the library, and he leisurely followed, his eyes unusually profound because he could fully discern from the girl’s surprised tone that this Chu Xuan must share some resemblance with him.

Sky Blue Academy, basketball court.

A chorus of cheers echoed nonstop, with the basketball court ensconced in layers of people. As the girl dragged Ye Xuan through the packed crowd, they finally squeezed into the basketball court.

“Come on, we’ve got one minute left in the game, we need two more points.”

In the court, a young man of remarkable handsomeness was dribbling the basketball, drenched in sweat, exuding an air of vibrant energy, encouraging his teammates.

“Alright, let’s crush them, we need another two points!” his teammates responded, shouting their approval.

“Go Chu Xuan!”

The cheerleading squad, all young girls, were shaking their pom-poms, rooting for the young man in the court. Among them, an exceptionally pure and beautiful girl had her fingers intertwined, gazing admiringly at the young man playing under the sun.

Bang!

Chu Xuan moved agilely across the court, outmaneuvering three opponents and leaping up to dunk the basketball through the hoop. As the referee’s whistle blew, the game came to an end.

“We won!”

“Ha ha.”

In the court, Chu was hoisted by his teammates, then tossed into the air, while the cheerleaders and the pure young girl rushed onto the court, joining in the celebration of their victory.

“See that? Your brother’s a big deal at our school,” said Li Ruotong, her eyes twinkling with admiration as she watched Chu Xuan on the basketball court.

At this moment.

Ye Xuan watched the young man in the center of the court with deep eyes, and then he nodded slightly. No one knew what was going through his mind.

“Chu Xuan, your brother has come to see you.”

Li Ruotong called out from outside the field, causing the mineral-water-drinking Chu Xuan to start slightly before looking towards the direction of the voice.

“Over here, over here.” Li Ruotong waved to Chu Xuan, allowing the youth to spot Ye Xuan’s presence. However, when Chu Xuan saw what Ye Xuan looked like, he stood rooted to the spot as if struck by lightning.

“Chu Xuan, since when did you have a brother? How come I didn’t know?” Zhao Qingxuan voiced her question with a surprised expression, glancing over at Ye Xuan. But when she saw Ye Xuan, she too paused momentarily because he bore a three-to-four-point resemblance to her boyfriend.

At that moment, Ye Xuan quietly glanced at the young couple before turning to walk towards the sports field, which snapped Chu Xuan out of his daze. A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes as he quickly approached Ye Xuan.

Tianlan Academy’s sports field.

“Who are you?”

When the youth reached Ye Xuan from behind, he directly voiced his confusion because the person before him bore a three-to-four-point resemblance to himself, and it caused his soul to tremble in a peculiar way that made him extremely uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, faced with the young man’s question, Ye Xuan gave no response. He just silently watched Chu Xuan without answering him for quite some time.

“The likeness is there, but not the essence; after all, you are not me.”

Ye Xuan slowly shook his head, his voice slightly hoarse. He had thought this young man might be an image of his past self, but aside from a slight resemblance in appearance, the youth lacked his own youthful demeanor in terms of character and eyes.

“Who exactly are you? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Chu Xuan frowned, feeling wary of this strange person before him.

“I just wanted to see if, should history return to its starting point, another person like me would emerge in this Human World.”

“Unfortunately, you are not me.”

Ye Xuan shook his head in disappointment because he could see from the young man’s eyes a vibrant youthfulness, an air of righteous integrity, truly a fine young man who carried no guile within him, let alone a hidden dark side.

This confirmed for Ye Xuan that although history may seem to revert to its origin, a hundred thousand years had indeed passed in the Human World. Despite the similar scenery, the people of the past would never reappear.

“It seems I am destined for disappointment. The person who resembles Brother Baiyi, even if he truly exists in this world, lacks Brother Baiyi’s once extraordinary genius.” Ye Xuan murmured to himself, sighing deeply.

Ye Xuan’s purpose in visiting Chu Xuan was simple; he just wanted to verify something he hoped for in his heart.

He sought the person who resembled Liu Baiyi because if history really had looped back to the beginning, perhaps Liu Baiyi could live again in this world, albeit differently.

Unfortunately, after Ye Xuan’s verification, whether it be the Chu family mother and son or the present Chu Xuan before him, even though their appearances were exceedingly similar to him and his family of old, they were, after all, distinct individuals and not people from the past.

With this judgment, the people of the past would not reappear, and Liu Baiyi would never return to this world.

“A madman.”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s bizarre talk, Chu Xuan decided Ye Xuan must have a mental issue, his eyes displaying caution.

“Chu Xuan, is he your friend?”

Zhao Qingzuan arrived quickly, looking at Ye Xuan with amazement. Her bearing resembled that of a young Xia Qingzhu, which made Ye Xuan give her a silent glance.

“Young man, if you aspire to greatness, you must strive ceaselessly; otherwise, in the future, this girl will be your calamity, and she will bring you unbearable pain.”

Ye Xuan’s gaze was piercing as he saw that although the girl seemed innocent, there was a hint of arrogance in her eyes. If the young man could not excel in the future, he would inevitably face turmoil in love and be abandoned by this girl.

“What nonsense are you talking about, who exactly are you?” Chu Xuan’s face turned angry, naturally upset by the denigration of his girlfriend.

Unfortunately, since Ye Xuan had verified that the people of the past would not be returning, he saw no further need to engage in conversation with this youth. His entire being quietly transformed into a wisp of green smoke and vanished without a trace.

“He… he disappeared… Is this some sort of magic?”

Such a scene shocked the girl into exclaiming, her hands shaking the young man’s arm, asking repeatedly, but the young man himself was already dumbfounded, scarcely believing the sight before his eyes.
