Bai Ye shook his head. "Your soul is intact, so it shouldn't be possible that this presence is a part of you. But such a level of connection is too high for two existences that don't share the same origins … I'm just as baffled as to what this presence is and how it is related to you."
He squeezed my hand again. "If you want to know more, we can visit the Vermilion Shrine and ask them about this seal. Someone might remember the events that led them here back at the time. But for now, we should leave. Since this seal was designed to trap a soul that had a close connection to yours, the spiritual power here might create ripple effects on you if we stay near it for too long."
