Genius Club-Chapter 645 - 32: Two Girls, The Truth Revealed (Monthly Ticket Bonus Add-On!)_2
This is not surprising.
After all, both she and the Time-Space Assassin come from the distant future, at least several hundred years from now, and they naturally both underwent the same drug enhancements and genetic editing, ensuring that both their physical abilities and appearances are top-notch.
But actually, more than these...
What truly concerned Lin Xian the most was the girl’s name—
[Yu Xi].
At this time, in this place, and within the context of this event, hearing this totally unexpected name was a great surprise to Lin Xian.
He had been pondering this for some time.
Who, or what, does Huang Que refer to by Yu Xi?
He thought of many possibilities but could not convince himself of any.
Because Huang Que had made him guess too many puzzles before, and he had found the pattern to Huang Que’s puzzles... That is, they’re sufficiently straightforward, sufficiently simple.
But to think...
This puzzle was indeed just like the previous Mirror Puzzle—absolutely not tricky, and not requiring any brainstorming at all. What was said was what it meant; the answer lay within the question itself!
Yu Xi... Read exclusive content at novelbuddy
Turned out to really be a person’s name!
Not a metaphor, not a referent, not a nickname, not an adjective... but a real and tangible girl sitting right in front of him.
Before disappearing, Huang Que’s last words were to tell him "never to leave Yu Xi."
So, she knew all along that she would eventually be pursued by the Time-Space Assassin?
And she also knew that a Temporal Bodyguard named Yu Xi would travel back in time to protect herself?
"Do you know someone named Huang Que?" Lin Xian asked as he looked at the small ponytail at the back of Yu Xi’s head.
"I don’t know her," Yu Xi answered indifferently.
"Then do you know Zhao Yingjun?"
"Of course, I know," she said.
Yu Xi tilted her body to the right and leaned over, allowing the motorcycle to continue onto the highway on the right side without slowing down:
"Zhao Yingjun is your friend from East Sea, isn’t she? She used to be your boss, but later you started your own thing. However, the businesses of both companies are highly overlapping; it’s almost as if there’s no difference whether you split or not."
"I’m not talking about Zhao Yingjun of this era." Lin Xian interrupted her:
"I’m referring to the Zhao Yingjun from your era. Do you know her?"
"No," she replied.
The increasingly adorable tiny ponytail shook:
"I’ve never heard of this person."
"But... whether it’s Huang Que or Zhao Yingjun, whoever she is, she’s aware of your existence, knows your name, and quite obviously knows you."
"This woman has a very distinctive characteristic; she particularly likes to wear earrings, loves to wear high heels, loves to wear large overcoats, and enjoys holding her arms while talking to others... Can you imagine anyone like this among the people you know from your era?"
The hamster-like small ponytail shook once more:
"No, I don’t know her at all."
...
Fine then.
Lin Xian did not ask further.
If this girl named Yu Xi were to respond with "can’t say" or "no way to say" to this question, then Lin Xian could directly assume that this girl definitely knew Huang Que.
But now,
This girl flatly and without hesitation denied knowing Huang Que and Zhao Yingjun, completely indifferent, as if hearing the names for the first time.
This implies that this girl most likely really did not know Huang Que.
Hmm...
Lin Xian thought while sitting on the motorcycle’s rear seat.
Looking at it from the timeline sequence, this was not impossible.
Now it could be confirmed.
Huang Que traveled from a few decades in the future.

Yu Xi, along with the Time-Space Assassin, came from at least a few centuries in the future.
Their lives are separated by several hundred years; it’s normal they wouldn’t recognize each other or have heard of each other.
The only thing that can’t be explained is... why Huang Que knew the name Yu Xi accurately and knew that Yu Xi would definitely travel back hundreds of years later to protect herself.
This was getting a bit mystical.
After all, this was predicting events several hundred years in the future; even immortals wouldn’t be so certain, so where did Huang Que get such confidence?
Unfortunately,
Now that Huang Que had vanished and this young girl Yu Xi was unaware of this matter, it seemed that this question might really remain unanswered.
"Then, how much do you know about that Time-Space Assassin? Do you know anything specific about her?"
Faced with Lin Xian’s question,
Yu Xi shook her head once again:
"I’m like you, I saw her for the first time today. Before today, I didn’t even know what she looked like, her gender, her age, her figure, where she came from... I knew absolutely nothing. In fact, you know her better than I do."
"It was just a few days ago, I could feel that we were both within China, in the vicinity of East Sea. But then, she went to a faraway place, probably in the direction of Europe. Before I had the chance to follow, her location changed again, back to East Sea."
"Later on, her location changed yet again, this time to Mi Country. It was through such irrationally fast changes in locations that I deduced she had specific targets and precise objectives."
So that’s how it is...
With everything considered, it all adds up:
"It seems the sensations between space-time transmigrators like you are quite accurate."
Lin Xian explained to Yu Xi:
"A few days ago, I did go to Copenhagen, and then that Time-Space Assassin killed a friend of mine right before my eyes; after returning to East Sea, she tried to kill me, but I managed to dodge by driving away. Then I immediately flew to Mi Country, thinking it was safer abroad; but unexpectedly, she followed me to Mi Country, and her methods became even more ruthless. She had no hesitation in trying to kill me."
