The two of them were silent for a while, and Gu Qingze seemed to have thought of something. He put his arms around Chu Lingxiao's waist and hugged him tightly in his arms.

"Ling Xiao." His tone was soft, and it was unclear whether he was intentionally being coquettish.

Chu Lingxiao let him hold him so intimately, and after hearing his call, he lazily half opened his eyes.

"Hmm..." he responded leisurely.

"I'm still very curious about the things about the coffin keepers..."

Chu Lingxiao showed an expected smile on his face: "I knew Qingze would ask...where should I start? Or should I start from the beginning like I did just now?"

Gu Qingze shook his head gently: "That's not necessary. I just have a few confusions that I can't figure out."

"How many points are there that you are confused about?" Chu Lingxiao didn't know what he was thinking of, and asked with a hint of sarcasm: "Are they a few points, or many points?"

Gu Qingze looked serious and said solemnly: "There is really only one thing I can't figure out."

"Well, Qingze, just ask." Chu Lingxiao stopped teasing him.

"Hmm..." Gu Qingze seemed to be trying hard to recall and pondered carefully before he slowly spoke, "Ling Xiao, when you receive information, are you only able to receive information from living things, or can you receive information from both living things and lifeless dead things?"

Chu Lingxiao smiled slightly, "Qingze, what you really want to ask is whether I can receive relevant information about 'Yue'er' lying in the coffin, right?"

Gu Qingze nodded and said, "Well, I originally assumed that Ling Xiao's ability was only able to receive living beings that were still alive in the world."

"But in the illusion you created, 'Yue'er' and the experiences she described were all too real... After all, even the coffin keeper could be fooled, so I speculated... Ling Xiao's ability might even be able to... "

Chu Lingxiao couldn't help showing a little smugness on his face when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"Is the illusion I created really so real? Qingze saw me construct it with his own eyes, but I never thought that he would still think it was real like the coffin keeper, or at least believe in part of it..."

Gu Qingze looked at him, his face full of surprise: "So... Ling Xiao can't obtain information about dead creatures, right?"

Chu Lingxiao nodded first, then shook his head: "At least... not now, my ability has not yet awakened to such a high level."

"How could that be..."

Before Gu Qingze finished speaking, he heard Chu Lingxiao say helplessly: "Rely on speculation, speculation, do you understand?"

"Speculation?" Gu Qingze shook his head. "I don't quite understand. Even if we can get some information from the coffin keeper, what about the feelings of the 'Yue' constructed by Ling Xiao towards the coffin keeper... The most important thing is that the coffin keeper actually believes it."

Chu Lingxiao sighed and showed a meaningful expression:

"Maybe it's because... people are more willing to believe what they want to believe deep down in their hearts. I didn't do much. I just let the coffin bearer see the scene he longed to see."

"As for whether that is what the real 'Yue' wants... I don't know. I just know that by constructing the illusion in this way and letting the 'Yue' in the illusion speak like this, the coffin keeper will be willing to give us the 'Sanshenghua'."

Listening to Chu Lingxiao's calm and seemingly extremely rational words, Gu Qingze smiled and shook his head:

"That's not the case. I guess the real 'Yue'er must have said something similar. It's deep in the coffin keeper's memory. Otherwise, the coffin keeper wouldn't have believed so easily that what he saw was the real 'Yue'er."

"Ling Xiao, don't describe yourself as so... cold-blooded and heartless? As if everything is just for the 'San Sheng Hua'."

"You obviously received the memories of the coffin keeper in addition to the 'Sanshenghua', and hoped that he could start a new life, so you let the 'Yue' in the illusion say this."

"I think that was what Yue'er hoped for in his memory. She had tried to persuade him, but failed. Or... she just couldn't bear to do it. She wanted her A Yao, the coffin keeper, to live a new life, but she didn't want him to forget her."

"So Ling Xiao chose a way that would not let the coffin keeper forget his 'Yue'er, but would also allow the coffin keeper to live a new life and look forward as 'Yue'er' wished."

"So... this illusion can be said to kill three birds with one stone. The coffin keeper, Yue'er, and our goals have all been achieved."

"Maybe." Chu Lingxiao did not comment, and his answer was vague.

Gu Qingze didn't care about his reaction, but hugged his waist even tighter and rested his head gently on his shoulder.

"Ling Xiao is a kind person, I know that."

Chu Lingxiao smiled when he heard this, but that smile contained too many complicated emotions: "Maybe... I may not be as beautiful as you think."

Gu Qingze also sighed: "I know Ling Xiao is kind, Ling Xiao, don't always deny it. Although it is difficult to be a good person in today's world, it is already quite good to be able to do some good deeds within the scope of your own ability."

Chu Lingxiao shook his head. "Sure enough... I said that people are always more willing to believe what they want to believe. Maybe... I really haven't thought about it that much."

Gu Qingze said: "Even if he really didn't think that much, Ling Xiao did a good thing in action. A gentleman is judged by deeds, not by heart."

Chu Lingxiao stopped refutation and just smiled calmly: "Forget it, Qingze, if you have any questions, just keep asking."

"Hmm..." Gu Qingze pondered for a moment, "There's nothing else I want to ask, so let me ask one last question..."

"Ling Xiao, why does the coffin keeper clearly know that what Yue'er is holding is the Sansheng Flower?"

"It is said that he can revive the dead. He loves Yue Er so much. Even if there is only a slight possibility, even if it is just a rumor, he should give it a try instead of handing over the Sanshenghua to us."

Gu Qingze thought of a possibility and immediately showed a panic on his face: "Could it be that the rumor that the 'Three Lives Flower' can bring the dead back to life is false? In fact, it does not have this ability at all?!"
