Chapter 997
"Hmm?" Su Cheng's face was already filled with shock at this time. "Tell you magic and forbidden art of immortality, then is your friend also an immortal immortal?"
"Yes." Liya nodded, "She has practiced the forbidden art of immortality like me. I have been in love with her for thousands of years."
"I really didn't expect..." Su Cheng murmured, "I didn't expect that there are other people in this world besides you..."
"Actually, in this world, I and my old friend are only immortals." Lea said with a wry smile, "So my old friend is very important to me."
Speaking of this, Lia sighed.
"If she is gone, then I will be the only one who is immortal in this world... I will be very lonely..."
Su Cheng looked directly at Liya, who showed a little lonely look on her face.
After pondering for a while, Su Cheng asked Liya in a deep voice:
"Liya, if you are convenient, can you answer me a question I wanted to ask you a long time ago?"
"Well..." Riya raised her hand and curled her hair on her left sideburn while saying in a playful tone, "Tell me your question. If I can answer this question easily, I will answer it obediently."
"Liya, who are you? What is your real name?" As soon as Liya finished speaking, Su Cheng immediately asked him directly.
After hearing Su Cheng's question, Riya's fingers, which were curling her hair on her sideburns, stopped.
And while Liya was stunned, Su Cheng continued:
"If I guess correctly, before you practice the forbidden art of immortality, you should be a person with a very noble status, right?"
After a while of silence, Liya smiled and said:
"It's so amazing, Su Cheng, you guessed it all."
"Because your words, deeds, and conversations are not like a person with a low status."
"……well."
After a while of silence, Lea sighed softly.
"It's not convenient for me to tell you what I was before I became an immortal."
"But I can reveal it to you a little bit."
"Before I was immortal, my identity at that time was indeed considered noble."
"But although noble but noble, this noble identity did not bring me much comfort or luxury." Speaking of this, Liya changed into a self-deprecating tone, "This noble identity has brought me a lot of trouble and pressure. Sometimes I even think: It would be great if I was an ordinary girl."
“A lot of things happened after that.”
"After going through all kinds of things, I suddenly had the idea of wanting to live forever."
"I want to live forever."
As Liya said, she suddenly raised her left hand and began to gently stroke her left abdomen through the fabric.
"I want to rely on my eyes to witness whether something can be achieved with my own eyes."
"Things?" Su Cheng asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's not convenient to tell you this." Lea stuck out her tongue and shrugged, "When I'm in the future, I'll tell you what I want to witness."
"Anyway, after I had the idea of living forever, I went to ask my old friend who mastered the forbidden art of immortality and asked her to teach me."
"This forbidden technique for immortality is really difficult. It took a long time for a genius like me to fully master it."
"Genius..." Su Cheng smiled helplessly, "This is the first time I have seen someone claiming to be a genius so casually..."
"I'm telling the truth." After a meaningful smile, Lea continued, "After mastering the forbidden operation of immortality, I used some means to forge the illusion that I was dying of illness and deceived everyone."
"After everyone thought I died of illness, I hid my name and started to play around...ah, no, I was wandering around."
"I just lived for more than a thousand years without realizing it."
"Okay, that's all about this topic." Riya said in a half-joking tone, "When will you be in the mood in the future, or when I feel I can tell you my true identity, I will tell you my real name."
"Okay..." Su Cheng showed a little regretful look on his face, "If you don't want to say it now, then forget it. Then let's change a new topic."
After saying that, Su Cheng placed the pile of translations on the table beside him.
"Liya, I have translated all the book according to your suggestion. Who do I want to hand over this translation?"
"Ah." A little surprise flashed in Leah's eyes, "Have you finished translating that book?"
Lea walked to the table, took one of the translations, and quickly looked through them.
"It's so amazing, Su Cheng." Liya said in an admirable tone as she looked through, "It's all translated so quickly. The content of this set of books is so rich. I thought it would take you at least 8 years to translate it all."
Five years ago, in the 290th year of the imperial calendar, Liya suddenly found Su Cheng in the imperial capital.
That was also the first time Su Cheng and Liya met.
When the two met for the first time, Leah made a suggestion to Su Cheng: translate "Zizhi Tongjian" into Britannia, and one day in the future, hand the translation to someone, and this set of books will shine in that person's hands.
Su Cheng obediently listened to Liya's suggestion and began to translate "Zizhi Tongjian" from that day on.
It took 5 years to finally translate this grand masterpiece.
However—Although the translation has been completed, Su Cheng has not found the person who is worthy of entrusting this set of books.
Five years ago, what Lia said was ambiguous.
What he said, "When he feels like that person, give the translation of this set of books to that person."
This sentence is really ambiguous, just saying to Su Cheng in disguise:
"By your intuition, choose the master of this translation!"
Su Cheng didn't want to hand over the translation of this set of books to those who shouldn't have handed over them.
So after completing the translation of "Zizhi Tongjian", Su Cheng was anxious: Who do I want to hand over this translation to?
Now that I have finally seen Liya, who has not seen for a long time, Su Cheng couldn't help asking him this question that had troubled him for a long time.
But who knew that after hearing Su Cheng’s question, Liya closed the translation and smiled:
"How do I know who to hand over these translations?"
Su Cheng: "????"
Liya felt the bad look in Su Cheng's eyes.
So he hurriedly said:
"I'm not omniscient and omnipotent, either."
