Gu Sinian’s relief was short-lived. He pointed to one of the records and asked, "This one says the person suddenly changed their personality, but then reverted back after some time. What is that?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's because the 'different one' left," Qi Zhenzhen said after some thought.
Some people shared a body, with one being stronger and the other weaker. The stronger one took the lead, while the weaker one could only watch from the sidelines. Later, due to some fortuitous encounter, the weaker one became stronger and pushed the outsider away.
"Does the one who was pushed away return to their original body or dissipate?" Gu Sinian asked, his voice laced with nervousness, his hand gripping Qi Zhenzhen tightly.
"That's hard to say. If they're lucky, they return to their original body. If they're unlucky, they probably dissipate," Qi Zhenzhen said hesitantly.
"Then Zhenzhen, you..." Gu Sinian's voice trembled with anxiety.
"As far as I can tell, I'm fine, and Hong Dou is also fine. So, there shouldn't be any problems," Qi Zhenzhen squeezed Gu Sinian's hand back, comforting him.
"The original Zhenzhen is with Hong Dou, but what about the original Hong Dou? If she comes back, then what about you, Zhenzhen?" Gu Sinian was somewhat agitated. He flipped through the items Qi Zhenzhen had brought, searching from beginning to end, but found no record pertaining to this matter.
Seeing his almost frantic state, Qi Zhenzhen gently consoled him, "Don't be like this. Everything happens for a reason. If we don't know, perhaps we can ask Master Yuanjue?"
Gu Sinian instinctively shook his head. "This kind of thing is too bizarre to be told to others. Yuanjue is a Buddhist monk. If he believes this is the work of an evil spirit, then wouldn't that..."
"Master Yuanjue is knowledgeable about the past, present, and future. This isn't mere hearsay. Therefore, strictly speaking, he was the first to know that something was amiss," Qi Zhenzhen said. "If Master Yuanjue considered me an evil spirit, how could I be standing here in front of you in good health? Besides, you are good friends with Master Yuanjue. Don't you trust him?"
Gu Sinian's expression gradually calmed. He carefully recalled what Yuanjue had said before and thought about the matter of matching horoscopes. It seemed Yuanjue had known something back then. Indeed, horoscopes could predict one's destiny. He remembered Yuanjue specifically saying it was a match made in heaven, a destined union. At the time, he had only thought it meant his and Zhenzhen's horoscopes were very compatible. Now, thinking about it, Yuanjue probably had hidden meanings in his words.
With this thought, Gu Sinian felt a little more at ease.
"I should still make a trip to Taihe Temple. Only after getting Yuanjue's definitive word can I be at peace," Gu Sinian said.
"Alright, whatever you wish," Qi Zhenzhen smiled.
As long as there was uncertainty, Gu Sinian couldn't rest. Since Qi Zhenzhen was pregnant and couldn't travel, after settling her down, he hurried out of the city towards Taihe Temple. At this hour, the city gates were already locked, and one couldn't pass without a token. Fortunately, he had one.
Galloping on his horse, Gu Sinian arrived at Taihe Temple two hours later.
Yuanjue had just emerged from his seclusion and was still very weak. Upon opening his eyes, he was startled to see Gu Sinian standing by his bedside.
"Why are you here?" Yuanjue took a deep breath. "Standing by my bedside in the middle of the night, are you trying to scare me to death?"
Gu Sinian sat down without ceremony. "What good would it do me to scare you to death? Besides, can you really be scared to death so easily?"
"Is there something urgent?" Yuanjue got out of bed and slowly walked towards Gu Sinian.
Gu Sinian frowned. "Why are you so weak?"
