Zhou Yan looked at Jiang Yuning with a calm gaze, his expression growing even colder.
Jiang Yuning’s face appeared sowhat pale, which added a unique sense of morbid beauty to her serene and elegant deanor, evoking an involuntary desire to protect her.
However, Zhou Yan felt no such desire to protect, as he disliked living amidst deceit.
Especially when the person he admired most turned out to be the initiator of a plan.
"I’m sorry, but until just before dawn today, I didn’t even know who I was. At dawn, I suddenly awoke and regained my past life’s mories, becoming aware of my identity as the Holy Daughter."
Jiang Yuning explained softly.
Her eyes were gentle, carrying a hint of grievance, as she looked at Zhou Yan with deep affection, seemingly hoping for his forgiveness.
"Is being the Holy Daughter all there is to it?"
Zhou Yan said indifferently.
He sighed and said, "The mories of my birth in the Jiang family also exist. When my father was in deep cultivation, you all hid the truth from him and extracted my soul power, refining it with the power of life into soul liquid, forming a unique Life Soul, and bestowed it upon Jiang Tianxin. Was it to nurture a peerless Ninety-nine Supre or even an Immortal? Not only was I exiled to the Sword Burial Ancestor Star, but the Ancestor Star was also confined, using the power of the chanical Clan to observe my growth and track data for the chance of the Immortal Evil Soul’s rebirth?"
"Furthermore, my mother, Lee Suniu, was even directly suppressed in the chanical Clan, with her remains used for research and replication, eting a tragic end."
"And you were the initiator of this plan, perhaps discovered your conscience later? Or did my prowess as Lei Yan King force the Jiang family to extre asures, prompting you to find a weak point in with a beauty sche?"
"Or perhaps, afraid my father would return and cut all ties with the Jiang family, exposing certain aims, did the Jiang family sacrifice you to win over?"
Zhou Yan sneered repeatedly, his words full of mockery.
"It seems you’ve awakened many mories, but certainly not all. Otherwise, you’d never doubt my feelings for you. But you’re right; if I hadn’t listened to the series of Heavenly Destiny plans of the Returning to Truth Clan back then, I would never have made such a suggestion.
The Jiang family’s bloodline is the most ancient, possessing the inheritance of Immortal Blood and Ancestor Witch Blood. When Lee Ran sought us for bloodline fusion, it should have marked the beginning of a legend, but ultimately, it was all utilized by others."
"And now, living out the next life, observing your growth into an Immortal Evil Soul? One could simply say your thoughts are too complicated, while the truth is very simple, as Jiang Tianxin could not fuse with the Perfect Supre Soul or accomplish the three kinds of Emperor Blood, making you the only one able to bear it. Later, you went mad, and this madness is the sorrow of the Human Clan."
"My love for you is not limited to whether you’re mad or not, or what kind of existence you are. You may not believe , but I hope that you’ll always believe , because if there’s anyone in this world who won’t deceive you, then apart from , there might be no one left."
"Of course, sotis, I’ll deceive you as well, but it must be for your good."
"Zhou Yan, Lee Yi, there might be one thing you don’t quite understand. For a man, perhaps cultivation, power, and even the pursuit of the ultimate realm are their all. But for a woman, there’s not much thought, just a man willing to accompany and love her. Emotions are only part of a man, but for a woman, they are everything."
Jiang Yuning’s gaze remained gentle on Zhou Yan, without any avoidance, her clear eyes srizing.
"You love ? Is it because I hold value? Is it because my body can bear the three great Emperor Bloods without collapsing or going mad, giving hope for becoming Immortal?"
Zhou Yan mocked.
"Before you awoke, you were just an ordinary person, and I was just an ordinary girl too. Yet, wasn’t our relationship deeper than it is now?"
Jiang Yuning pondered.
"Fine, let’s not speak of this for now. Then what about your engagent with the Prince of the Returning to Truth Clan? I rember this very clearly, although I don’t know when it happened, but it fundantally exists."
Zhou Yan questioned.
"The Prince of the Returning to Truth Clan? Engagent? Perhaps this involves another matter—"
Jiang Yuning contemplated, her gaze showing hesitation.
But after pausing for a mont, her eyes turned incredibly resolute as she continued, "Back then, to enable you to fuse the bloodlines of the Jiang and Lee families, and live a most perfect next life, we made an agreent with the Returning to Truth Clan. In the future, a remarkable woman from the Jiang family would join with the Returning to Truth Clan in marriage. The price was that the Life Soul Liquid from the Life Divine Tree would be open for your use.
At that ti, Gles refused this proposal, as the Life Goddess intended to beco the Daoist couple with Gles.
Subsequently, the reason for the Life Divine Tree instead made my life soul stronger, creating a unique bond with the soul body of the Wisdom Goddess Yamina.
Yamina is a kind-hearted elder sister who couldn’t bear to see two people suffer, nor allow such an effortful plan to fail, thus she severed the life soul liquid, gifting a portion of her wisdom soul, forming my life soul. This is why you could live out Lee Yi’s perfect supre soul in that lifeti.
The situation at that ti was very special. Due to innate deficiency and your constitution being too poor to withstand the powerful supre soul, the soul extraction plan was initiated.
Soul extraction was initially a cultivation thod, equivalent to letting Jiang Tianxin make sacrifices, using his divine body to nurture your supre soul.
Unexpectedly, after excavating the supre soul, you directly beca a waste, losing everything entirely, with an ancient sealing shackle forming within, impossible to open or restore again.
Helplessly at that ti, we could only accept things as they were.
Concerned for your father, the Jiang family’s unparalleled talent Jiang Shang went mad when he knew of the matter. Considering the overall situation, the ancestor simply eliminated all related individuals and sealed your mother.
Later, when the chanical Clan invaded, the Jiang family underwent upheaval. The specifics I do not know, but the ancestor of the Jiang family was no longer the ancestor of the Jiang family anymore. All those changes were too complex.
This matter, initially I was kept in the dark, but after knowing, my mood was extrely low, so I searched everywhere for the child secretly processed.
I accompanied by your side as you grew up, even fearing you might not like , altering into various personalities of won according to your preferences, just to please you. Unfortunately, you embarked on the Heartless Sword Dao.
Later, half of the Jiang family was destroyed, you and Lee Ran tead up against Jiang He, leading to a huge upheaval. After that, we relied on each other for survival. Ultimately, you extended my life, sending into the next lifeti, while you abandoned the chance to survive, being besieged and suppressed by several immortal strongn into a special domain world.
Lee Ran infiltrated the chanical Clan, seized part of the bloodline power, extracting your portion of essence blood and soul power, enabling you to live this lifeti.
And my existence in this lifeti is actually only for you, yet it’s strange why you suddenly awakened mories supposedly impossible to awaken? While I originally couldn’t trigger the restoration of bloodline power mories before returning to the Cold Ice Palace, now it has instead restored mories of the previous lifeti.
Under Zhou Yan’s cold gaze, Jiang Yuning revealed part of the truth.
All these sound incredibly reasonable, almost overlapping completely with Lee Sha’s mories of this lifeti, yet Zhou Yan showed no apparent emotional change.
His gaze remained indifferent, his emotions stayed calm, as if all these secrets and truths had nothing to do with him.
"Zhou Yan, do you have any doubts? As long as I know, I will give you answers."
Looking into Zhou Yan’s eyes, Jiang Yuning’s overall mood also seed to dampen, possibly due to so unsolvable misunderstanding, resulting in the situation being so complicated.
Zhou Yan shook his head, saying, "My reason for asking is just to understand a certain depth in my heart, and rely just to know. Since the previous life remains unfinished, this life of mine is destined to continue serving the previous life as a pawn. Your following is truly unnecessary.
No matter how much admiration and resentnt exist from the previous life, even if there are emotional connections, in this life at the mont of mory awakening, I have already decided not to linger on anything."
If in the previous life I sacrificed for you, giving up my chance, letting you live into the next life, it ant I knew I couldn’t give you the happiness you needed. In this life, I still can’t give it."
Therefore, Holy Daughter, Jiang Yuning, in this life, I can only apologize to you."
After a mont of silence, Zhou Yan lightly sighed and said.
Finishing his words, he reached to pat the shoulder of the maid Ping’er beside him, saying, "I have my path, my choices, and my life, which belong only to myself, not needing too many mixtures. It’s neither avoidance nor cowardice, rely my own heart’s choice."
If so things eventually need to be let go, then letting go earlier is for everyone’s good."
Zhou Yan withdrew his hand, finding rare peace within his heart.
In such a state, the lost things seem to gradually return, perhaps fully returning at so mont.
He glanced again at Jiang Ping’er and Jiang Yuning, like a final farewell, stepping towards his battered small hut.
The hut was so simple, noticeably different from the splendid pavilions and towers in the rest of the Zhou family’s large courtyard; an illustration of the hardships he previously encountered, now reflecting a sense of ancient charm.
Like a small cabin within the spirit, unconcerned with worldly affairs, yet uniquely serene.
