Hearing her say this, Xiao Mubei became a little nervous and asked tentatively, "Are you trying to say that you are not the original Chu Yunxi?"

Now it was Chu Yunxi's turn to be surprised, "You knew this all along?"

"I'm just guessing. Although I haven't met the previous Chu Yunxi, she definitely doesn't have the techniques of a coroner or medical skills. And you have a lot of new things and space to store them. Do you remember? When we first met, you told me that no matter what I saw that didn't make sense, I shouldn't ask. As long as I knew that you would never harm me, that would be enough."

Chu Yunxi thought about it and realized that it was true. Along the way, her medical skills, autopsy skills, the medicines in the Liyue bracelet, and all kinds of equipment that were incompatible with the present were enough to arouse others' suspicion. It was only based on their trust in her that everyone tacitly chose not to ask and just blindly believed. But if they really talked about it, it would be abnormal if others didn't know.

Chu Yunxi nodded and said, "That's right, I'm not the original Chu Yunxi, I'm... a time traveler."

"A time traveler?" Xiao Mubei didn't understand, but he immediately asked the question he was most worried about, "Will he travel through time again?"

Chu Yunxi was stunned. She had never thought that the reason why Xiao Mubei never asked was because he was afraid of this question. He was afraid of losing her, so he didn't dare to ask.

But how could she know this question?

"I... don't know." Chu Yunxi answered with some difficulty. Seeing Xiao Mubei's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear it, so she said: "But I don't think so, because these two times, my soul went back home twice, but my body was occupied by Chu Yunxi who was originally here, so my soul wandered there, and then came back. I think I will never be able to go back unless there is a special opportunity."

"What special opportunity?" Xiao Mubei asked immediately.

"For example..." Chu Yunxi said uncertainly: "She and I...get into trouble at the same time again."

This possibility is indeed small. A coincidence like this happening once is already one in a million. How could it happen a second time?

Xiao Mubei immediately said: "Then I will definitely protect you in the future and will never let you have the chance of getting into trouble again."

Chu Yunxi laughed and was touched at the same time, so she said, "Your Highness, my brother and I both came from a world more than 2,000 years later. Over there, I was a forensic doctor in the Special Intelligence Medical Bureau, and he was the leader of the Detective Team. We were killed in a mission, and Chu Yunxi here was given a death sentence at the time. Wen Rulan was also seriously injured during the mission and should have died, so we swapped souls. Originally, we all thought that the original us were dead and turned to ashes, but this time my soul went back, and I realized that the original us over there were also saved, and the two people who were originally here went over there."

Wen Rulan asked with a trembling voice: "You mean... I'm not dead over there either?"

"Yes, senior brother, I specifically asked Chu Yunxi last night. She said that you were not dead, but after you recovered, you resigned from the Special Intelligence Medical Bureau and your whereabouts are unknown. She is not very clear about it. She also switched from being a forensic doctor to a portrait artist." Chu Yunxi said.

Wen Rulan breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what he did, as long as the person was still alive, his parents wouldn't be so sad, and he wouldn't be so worried.

Xiao Mubei said worriedly, "Since soul swapping only occurs when one is seriously injured or on the verge of death, why did your soul go back again these two times? And Chu Yunxi didn't come back either? Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head. "No, I'm fine. I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere. Didn't you see a doctor last night? Didn't he say I was fine?"

That was indeed the case, but Xiao Mubei was still worried. Her soul kept leaving her body from time to time, which didn't sound like a good thing. What if one day she went there and never came back, where should he find her?

"No, I have to ask Bai Yu to find a master to take a look at what is going on." Xiao Mubei still couldn't get over this matter.

Chu Yunxi laughed and let him do what he wanted. Wen Rulan said, "Now that you're awake, everything is fine. I'll go tell Xiaowei and the prince. They were very worried about you last night."

After a while, Wan Ruwei and Wu Lingqi came over. She certainly couldn't say so much to them. After all, not everyone could accept this matter. Chu Yunxi had to say that she was too tired last night and slept too deeply. As for why her body temperature dropped, she didn't know. She would go back and look through the medical books to find the reason.

Because of her superb medical skills, although the two were worried, there was nothing they could do. Fortunately, Chu Yunxi seemed to be fine now, so they were relieved.

After breakfast, they continued on their journey. Xiao Mubei held Chu Yunxi's hand tightly all the way, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear. Chu Yunxi saw that his eyes were bloodshot, so she said, "Don't worry, even if I really go there, I will definitely find a way to come back, because you are here."

Xiao Mubei immediately held her hand tighter and said, "Then it's a deal. You are not allowed to disappear without a sound."

"Of course. Now, lie down and have some rest. Otherwise, if I'm fine but you get tired, I won't agree." Chu Yunxi pressed him down and let him sleep. Xiao Mubei lay on Chu Yunxi's legs, smelling the faint fragrance on her body, and finally fell asleep peacefully.

Chu Yunxi leaned against the carriage, still thinking about the conversation with the other Chu Yunxi last night. She had a general understanding of the situation after she left. There was basically no change in the family. Her parents were in good health and they always believed that the other Chu Yunxi was their daughter. Her colleagues had also accepted Chu Yunxi's transformation from a forensic doctor to a portrait artist. The explanation given by the Chu Yunxi was that she actually learned to paint since she was a child, and after that incident, she wanted to change to an easier job. Everyone also understood her mental change after experiencing life and death, and no one was suspicious.

Everything is now on track. A year is enough to change a lot of things. What should have passed has passed, what should have been adapted to has been adapted to, and the people who should have been met have been met.

After walking on the road for a few more days, they crossed the Luo River and finally set foot in the territory of Nandi again.

Chu Yunxi has not had any out-of-body experiences in the past few days, but Xiao Mubei has not slept well every night. He keeps touching her, fearing that she might have another problem. He can only fall asleep peacefully when he feels that her body temperature is normal. However, he must hold her hand or hold her in his arms to feel at ease.
