Hanguang Zhe was flipping through another book. One look at the desk and chairs around would let you know how many books they had gone through.
Several stacks of books were piled up.
Merging had failed for some reason and they couldn't figure it out so they decided to consult old texts.
So far, they hadn't made any progress.
The pages had long since yellowed with age, and every movement had to be careful lest the brittle paper tore beneath his fingers.
As originally two parts of one soul, merging should be as easy as returning home. For some reason, it was not.
Hanguang Zhe could control the body, Shen Yan could withdraw his consciousness, yet they couldn't complete the final step of both souls becoming one.
Something was rejecting the process, but neither of them knew what.
At least that's what Shen Yan thought. Hanguang Zhe's heart leapt with joy.
He had a hunch that the bond with Qin Yue was preventing the merge from being successful.
