Yiran National Master had also heard about someone racing in the National Master Hall.
"I came here today because I have something to ask you," Gu Jiao decisively changed the subject.
"Speak," the National Master said.
Gu Jiao solemnly said, "It’s about the matter you promised me last time. You said that as long as I won over Hei Fengqi, you would tell me the whole truth. The time has come for you to fulfill your promise."
The National Master picked up a scroll and slowly unrolled it to reveal a portrait of Jing Yinyin.
Gazing at the portrait, he said, "You asked me last time what my relationship with Jing Yinyin was. But I think that you, having put in all your effort, were not just trying to learn about my relationship with Jing Yinyin. You wanted to know more about Jing Yinyin."
Gu Jiao also glanced at the portrait and said, "That’s right, I’m very curious about Jing Yinyin."
The National Master lifted his eyes and looked at her with a complex expression, "Have you never wondered why you are curious about a stranger?"
This question stumped Gu Jiao.
Indeed, why was she curious about Jing Yinyin?
"You are Jing Yinyin," the National Master said.
Gu Jiao was slightly taken aback.
The National Master did not beat around the bush nor play coy; instead, he laid out the facts straightforwardly in front of her, "You are Jing Yinyin, and Jing Yinyin is you."
Blinking, Gu Jiao replied, "How is that possible?"
Putting away the portrait, the National Master said, "Think about your first-aid kit and your experiences. What else is impossible?"
Gu Jiao fell silent.
The small medic box indeed possessed the ability to tear through time and space.
As for whether she was Jing Yinyin first or her previous self, the answer was unquestionable.
She had obtained the small medic box during a mission in her past life; it was originally meant for her foster father, who said the box was so ugly, he didn’t want it and gave it to her instead.
After some thought, Gu Jiao said, "That’s still not right. If I’m Jing Yinyin, why don’t I have Jing Yinyin’s memories?"
