Stuck in a Chinese novel

Chapter 154: Change: Dual personality

Wei Jun arrived at the Ruan mansion and made his way inside. He was greeted by a servant who quickly guided him to a guest room. While on the way, everyone looked at Wei Jun with a strange gaze, their eyes like looking at a lunatic.

Wei Jun didn't know why they were like that but he knew the cusp of the situation. It was the original owner of this body, he must have done something.

Wei Jun ignored them and kept his gaze straight as he entered a guest room and sat down. He only saw a table in the room, the room itself was clean but simply because there were no paintings. This was the room where Wei Jun had his meeting with Sun Ruan when he asked him to marry a bunch of girls and start reproducing.

There was a pot and a cup on the side. Only one cup. Wei Jun wasn't an idiot and could understand what the other party wanted. To make him wait. Wei Jun scoffed and sat down. As much as he didn't want to be there, he had to be.

He would have much rather increased his yang Qi but unfortunately, he had run out of money for more elixirs.

He suspected his other self had something to do with that too.

His bank accounts should have more in there but for some reason, he didn't. But that also showed that the money in his inventory was safe. Which also meant that the original Wei Jun Ruan didn't have access to the system.

[No]

[But the power you have amassed belongs to the body]

'What does that mean?' Wei Jun asked.

[It means he also possessed the strength the same as you]

Wei Jun's eyebrow twitched. He had a feeling something, or everything was far more worse than he thought at first. Xia Lu wasn't just looking at him in anger, there was something more. And the reactions of Quan Li and Quan Kui must suggest something as well.

'Let's hope that idiot didn't do anything unsalvageable.' Wei Jun thought as he began to wait. Since Sun Ruan intended to make Wei Jun wait, Wei Jun tried to utilize his time to strengthen his core. He was two points of Qi away from entering the next realm of cultivation.

Before that, he wanted to fully reinforce his core so he didn't have more homework added when he entered the next realm. He began to reinforce his core, however, it proved to be difficult.

If before it was done smoothly, now, it was taking too much power of his to do so. As if the Qi was rejecting his wishes.

He remembered the words of the system that all sorts of Qis would now be hesitant to listen to him. He would have to force the yang Qi in his system to do his bidding.

But since he didn't see that happening, it would be impossible for him to do that, so for now, he was just going to take it slower. If it took an hour to pull in one strand earlier, the time was now a little extended. However, it was still fast enough for him and as his control got better, he could feel that he was inching closer to his earlier speed.

He didn't know for how long he had been going on at that but he had successfully pulled the fifth strand back. He decided to stop there and opened his eyes.

'How long has it been?' Wei Jun asked.

[Six hours]

Wei Jun nodded and stood up. He opened the door of the room and stepped outside, only to be stopped by a man in a suit who appeared to be a guard.

"Young master, you must wait in there for the master." He said. Wei Jun looked at him for a moment before he stepped left and began to leave.

The guard put his hand on Wei Jun and stopped him, "Young master. I am allowed to use force if necessary." A clear threat. Something even an idiot could understand.

Wei Jun didn't like that. Not one bit. He was already too annoyed by everything, and now a guard was trying to stop him. All because he had dared to make the master of the house wait. And that only angered him even more. He was being treated like a subordinate.

Wei Jun turned his head to his left and looked at the guard from the corner of his left eye, his expression was unreadable but the murderous look in his eyes was stronger and clearer than anything else.

Boom!

A tremor set off the entire mansion, waking everyone up from whatever they were doing. Pei Ruan, Wei Jun's mother, was watching a serial when she felt that. Her husband, who was a mortal, couldn't pick up the wave of Qi in that tremor but she did.

She wasn't worried though, the tremor contained so low Qi that she wasn't even startled. She focused back on her serial. If it was an attack, it hadn't come to her yet and if it did, she would deal with it then.

As for her husband, who saw his wife going back to what she was doing without a worry, also immersed himself back in work.

Though a certain black-haired girl made her way to it. It was because she recognized the nature of Qi that passed throughout the mansion. She didn't recognize the other one but the one she recognized was enough to get her moving.

Just as she turned the hallway, her eyes widened as she saw a man on the ground, various signs of damage on him, some of his limbs turned at odd angles. And in all of that, a young man standing on top of him, his breath normal and a cold look in his eyes that even made the girl, Lin Ruan, immensely hesitant to approach him.

Those were the eyes she hadn't seen for at least a month. The last time she saw those eyes was when Wei Jun left after his rescue. After that, when she encountered him again, she didn't encounter that Wei Jun but the Wei Jun before a few months, the one who suddenly disappeared, replaced by a calm and collected one.

The scientific reason was clear. The man in front of her wasn't just one. It was two. Two men in one body. A case of multiple personality disorder. More commonly known as…

***************

"Dual personality?" Sun Ruan said as Lin Ruan explained the earlier incident to him. He was skeptical because what she was telling him was extremely rare. If it was the case of possession, he would have believed her but even he himself had checked for any possession and found none.

But the explanation given now made a lot of sense. He found the sudden change in Wei Jun's behavior alarming and what was even more alarming was finding nothing. But now there was an explanation that perfectly fitted. That would also explain the embarrassment Wei Jun caused on his wedding day.

Only if Sun Ruan knew that Wei Jun didn't even know he had a wedding day.

"Where is he now?" Sun Ruan asked.

"In my room. Cooling off." Lin Ruan replied.

"Call him," Sun Ruan said. Lin Ruan nodded and left Sun Ruan's personal study. She made her way to the room and opened the door. Wei Jun was sitting inside, freshly showered to clean off the blood on him.

How did he get clothes, however, she had no idea. She shook her head and said, "Grandfather is asking for you."

"Did you tell him why that poor man had to suffer because of him?" Wei Jun asked as he stood up and made his way to the door.

"And why would he care?" Lin Ruan asked. Lin Ruan knew what sort of nature Sun Ruan possessed. A ruthless one. He wouldn't care even if his own children were hurt as long as it benefitted him in some way. Why would he care about a guard who had nothing to do with the situation?

"Touché." Wei Jun replied and entered the study, alone, leaving Lin Ruan outside.

"I heard what you did," Sun Ruan sat on a sofa in the study. He also pointed at the sofa across from him to sit down. Wei Jun did so and flopped down on the sofa in front of him.

"I wouldn't have to do anything if you had gotten off your high horse," Wei Jun said.

"Quite blunt with your words, grandson," Sun Ruan said.

"And you're quite cunning with your actions," Wei Jun said, without fear.

"Hmm… It seems Lin was right. Get yourself checked out. I don't want any problems to happen to you." Sun Ruan said.

"What sorts of problems?" Wei Jun asked.

"Ahh… It seems you don't remember what you did on your wedding day. As expected it is MPD." Sun Ruan said.

'What the…' Wei Jun thought inwardly, however, he was soon to collect himself and didn't say anything.

'Let's just go with that.' He thought once again before he went on to ask questions.
