Hearing Gu Ziyu's exclamation, the middle-aged man couldn't help sighing as well. "Yes, it really is too unbelievable. It goes completely against common sense!"
"According to his records, there's nothing unusual about his family, his birth, or anything else in his past..."
"We can say with absolute certainty that he really is only nineteen this year. He isn't some heaven-defying prodigy who cultivated to the Golden Core Realm at a young age and then regained his youth."
"Besides, even Ling Daoyi, the greatest prodigy of the past five hundred years whom you mentioned, looks to be in his late thirties, nearly forty."
"All we can say is that there are many mysteries surrounding this person. In fact... I have a vague feeling that this might have something to do with his inexplicable disappearance for over three months."
Gu Ziyu replied softly, "That's not impossible. His circumstances really do defy common sense..."
After a pause, Gu Ziyu suddenly couldn't help asking, "Director, should we find a way to investigate what's going on?"
The middle-aged man shook his head with a wry smile. "How are we supposed to investigate? I've already had people thoroughly check everything we could, but we haven't found anything useful."
"Unless we ask him directly, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to find anything out."
"But with someone like him, what do you think he'd make of it if we asked him about these secrets point-blank? At best, he might not hold it against us."
"But what if we displease him, or even anger him? Ordinary people can't afford to face the wrath of someone like that."
"Uh... That's true," Gu Ziyu replied awkwardly.
The middle-aged man drew a light breath and said slowly, "There's really no need for us to get to the bottom of all this.
