Chapter 1615: Chapter 16: Virgo and Gemini (Part 3)

"But when I think about what you’ve done, I feel his judgment was absolutely right."

Wen Xishu, who rarely did this, felt his ears getting a bit hot, his fingers trembling slightly:

"Is he... is he doing okay?"

The Virgin sighed:

"If Leon was isolated because he’s too strong, then he was isolated because he’s universally acknowledged as the weakest among us."

"Every constellation longs to find him. Because if you don’t kill him, and instead sign a Gemini contract with him, you can gain immense authority."

"That’s why he’s everybody’s prime target; his situation is actually worse than Leon’s."

"Killing constellations will make everyone stronger, and Leon will grow stronger too."

"But if you sign a Twin Contract, it’s different—only one side gets stronger."

"Especially since defeating him is only just a tiny bit harder than killing any of the other five constellations."

"So whether they advocate submitting to the fate of slaughter, or trying to resist it, they all want to find him."

Wen Xishu really hadn’t expected the Gemini’s situation to be this miserable; this was no different from being Tang Monk’s Flesh.

The Virgo continued:

"With circumstances like that, naturally nothing he does is going to go smoothly."

Wen Xishu said:

"What about you? You found him—don’t you have any selfish motives?"

The Virgo shook her head:

"Of course I do. But my stance has never changed. Since I know there’s a tremendous connection between you and him, you should understand—he trusts me too."

Wen Xishu felt like he could hear his own heartbeat.

The Virgo suddenly turned to Liu Jianxin:

"I’m going to say some things next, but I’ll block your perception, because this is a secret. I hope you won’t resist, all right? I’m sorry... it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just too important."

Liu Jianxin nodded. He knew the Sect Master of the Holy Maiden Sect wanted Wen to take on the mission to head to the Land of Libra, and was about to drop some explosive news.

He really was curious—after all, another way to say ’acting chivalrous and righteous’ is ’loving to meddle in other people’s business.’

But he truly was upright and straightforward, and selfishly speaking, compared to moving with the Sect Master of the Holy Maiden Sect into the Libra Territory, it was still much more convenient to move with his own brother.

So Liu Jianxin didn’t even need the Virgo to act; he took the initiative to seal his five senses.

"You two talk. I absolutely won’t eavesdrop."

Wen Xishu’s breathing had already grown slightly rapid, because what this involved was not someone else, but his elder brother, Wen Chaohua.

He knew very well that what the Virgo was talking about was the Gemini. And he’d already gotten intel at the Old Mansion not long ago.

Wen Chaohua was the Gemini.

The Virgo said:

"One of Gemini’s authorities is this: the longer the twins are separated, the farther apart they are in space, the stronger the power they gain when they reunite in the future."

"And authority number two is the power to tamper with how people perceive the Gemini."

The Virgo didn’t start by explaining the details of that authority, but instead said first:

"Did you know..."

"This secret was originally something you were supposed to learn from his own mouth after you’d gained a very high Anti-Magic Value. Down in the Bunker."

Wen Xishu slowly nodded.

Of course he knew that in the Bunker, in the Wen Family’s Old Mansion, there were hidden secrets about the Gemini that required a high Anti-Magic Value to uncover.

"I can tell you ahead of time the latter half of that secret, because I’m guessing you’ve already deciphered the first half, right?"

"Naturally, I don’t believe what I learned from him is everything. Maybe in the end, the riddle of the twins is still something you’ll have to explore yourself. But I think you’ll be interested in what I’m about to say."

The Virgo also knew that what she was about to say might hit Wen Xishu like a truck.

So at that moment, the look she gave Wen Xishu carried a hint of asking for permission.

As if to say: if you want me to speak, if you agree to my request, I can tell you right now.

Wen Xishu didn’t agonize over it for long; he nodded.

"The one who calculated against the Gemini was another Gemini. But because of the link between them, that ’calculation’ is much more like a long-term protection."

"Xishu, back then in the church, there were always Thirteen people among the twelve constellations."

Wen Xishu’s hands shook even harder.

"But after everyone split up, they all permanently forgot one of the twins."

"Because Gemini’s authority number two is to tamper with everyone’s perception of the Gemini, to make everyone forget one of the twins."

"It’s a form of protection. Sometimes, forgetting is the best safeguard."

"So each of us knows there are two people in the Gemini, yet none of us can recall who the other one is."

"Of course, there may be beings with extremely strong perception who will, naturally, when they encounter the other twin whom everyone has forgotten..."

"Feel a sense of closeness, and want to... become sworn brothers with him."

Wen Xishu suddenly remembered how Scorpio had called him ’big brother’ the moment they met, which had actually made his scalp tingle.

Suddenly everything seemed to make sense. But the Virgo’s intel wasn’t over yet.

Next, she spoke words even more shocking:

"I also need to tell you this: the Gemini have no such thing as ’younger brother’ and ’older brother,’ or rather, they aren’t divided by age, but by authority. The stronger one is the older brother, and the weaker one is the younger brother. But their strength can switch."

"However, no matter how ’older’ and ’younger’ exchange their strength, from the beginning to the end, it’s always those two people. That has never changed."

"No one has ever replaced either of the twins and become someone else."

It was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Wen Xishu completely stunned in place.
