Gu Beiyi's rebirth was all about building up his power base, quietly infiltrating the four kingdoms, whether it was aristocratic families, merchants, royalty, or martial arts circles, and even the seas. He did all this in preparation for the future!

Besides power and money, he also needed to learn martial arts! After all, he wasn't the same person he was in his previous life. To prevent unpredictable events from happening, he had to strengthen himself so that he could protect Sheng Sheng at the last moment and prevent her from dying tragically before his eyes like she did in his previous life.

However, Gu Beiyi also used the things he knew from his previous life after being with Rong Sheng, such as coal and stoves, to try to create modern things. They were a bit crude, but after research, they could be put into use.

This includes having the Mo family, who are experts in mechanical engineering, help Sheng Sheng create medical devices. Gu Beiyi doesn't know how medical devices are made because he doesn't have more accurate blueprints. Gu Beiyi doesn't dare to try it easily, but he did have the Mo family create many things that can be used on the Shadowless Tower. So over the years, the Mo family has produced many talents who are proficient in metallurgy or forging. As long as Rong Sheng provides accurate and detailed blueprints, she will succeed!

But all of this was done in secret, with Wuyinglou helping to cover it up, so no one has discovered it yet.

"Because I was reborn, I know exactly when you traveled from the future to this place and became Rong Sheng, the apple of the Rong family's eye. So I sent people to Wenhong County to keep an eye on you! As long as you become a daughter of the Rong family, they will tell me! I will drop everything and come to Wenhong County to find you!"

Rong Sheng's eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Gu Beiyi, am I really that good? Good enough to let you appear in my life ahead of time?"

Gu Beiyi: "Because that's you! If it were the old Rong Sheng, I wouldn't even give her a second glance!"

Only you, only you!

Rong Sheng suddenly threw herself into Gu Beiyi's arms, hugging him tightly so tightly that Gu Beiyi felt a little breathless, but he could feel the deep love from Sheng Sheng, and his handsome face was full of smiles.

After a while, Rong Sheng's emotions finally calmed down. She had learned more about her rebirth and hesitated for a moment: "In our past life... wasn't our ending bad?"

Thinking of that dream, Rong Sheng felt excruciating pain in her heart, as if she were being cut by a dull knife.

Gu Beiyi fell silent, his charming lips pressed tightly together. Rong Sheng thought Gu Beiyi didn't want to talk about his past life. "I'm sorry! The past life is in the past. I shouldn't have asked! We should cherish the present!"

Gu Beiyi sighed, hugged Rong Sheng tightly, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Sheng Sheng. I didn't want to hide it from you because our past life was really terrible. I watched you die before my eyes, in my arms! And even after being reborn, I haven't avenged you, haven't killed your real enemy!"

Rong Sheng blinked and gave Gu Beiyi a quick kiss on the cheek: "The enemy you're talking about is your mother, right?"

"How did you know? Did the system tell you?"

"The system didn't tell me I saw it!"

"You saw it? How did you see it? From where did you see it?"

"Gu Beiyi, don't worry!" Rong Sheng kissed Gu Beiyi again: "No matter what happened in the past life, I, Rong Sheng, have made up my mind that it's you! I won't change this decision because of anything! Who told you to be the one I would love and cherish even if it meant crossing space and time?"

Immediately afterward, Rong Sheng recounted her experience in Gu Beiyi's dream. After listening, Gu Beiyi looked at Rong Sheng helplessly: "So you've already seen it all! The scenes you saw were all real! So, Sheng Sheng, I'm especially afraid that you'll die before my eyes just like in my past life. Even though you're alive and well now, I'm still very scared!"

Rong Sheng: "Don't be afraid! Because I have a system! The system is great!"

"The system is good? But it wasn't good to you in your past life! You were about to die, and it didn't help you at all!" Gu Beiyi lamented.

System: "..." Don't tell me that in Gu Beiyi's past life, this system was a cold-blooded and ruthless guy!

No! It must have been in its previous life. It didn't have consciousness yet, so everything was done step by step, just like a robot. Rong Sheng couldn't help at all if it didn't meet the requirements.

Both the basic and intermediate systems are like this, but he has long since become an advanced system.

The system knew that something had indeed happened before it upgraded to a higher-level system, but it didn't know what it was. Was it a problem with itself, or a problem left over from the previous host? But it liked its human side and disliked those cold, impersonal systems.

Next, Gu Beiyi told Rong Sheng a lot about what happened in their past lives, which added some warmth to the originally boring journey. Gu Beiyi and his people were grateful to Rong Sheng, otherwise their lives would have been very difficult.

It took Gu Beiyi two days to briefly tell Rong Sheng about his past life, so that Rong Sheng could keep things in mind!

After listening, Rong Sheng nodded repeatedly: "Gu Beiyi, don't worry, I won't let you worry! But, have you found out where our enemy is hiding? How is Gu Chen? Your mother..."

"Gu Chen is dead! He's been dead for almost ten years!" After being reborn, he built his own power while eliminating his enemies from his previous life, with Gu Chen being the first target!

As for the other princes and nobles, as long as they are of good character, did not do anything to harm him in their past lives, and are being watched by the Shadowless Pavilion to ensure there are no problems, Gu Beiyi will not easily take action! But if there are problems, Gu Beiyi will let them kill each other, and he will use others to reap the benefits!

“My mother… Sheng Sheng, I have no mother! My mother died when I was very young and was buried with my father! So, my mother is dead! But I did use her power to build my own power and deceive them into thinking I wasn’t very capable. Otherwise, how could they have let me go so easily after they knew I had a very strong power? I also couldn’t go to Wenhong County to find you!” Gu Beiyi said.

Rong Sheng said, "But she is still your mother. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its cubs. Although what she did in your past or present life was indeed unpleasant, you still have her blood flowing in your veins!"

"I know!" Gu Beiyi's handsome face looked calm and expressionless, and no one could tell what he was thinking, but Rong Sheng knew that Gu Beiyi must hate her mother!

"Sheng Sheng, the only thing I can do is not kill my mother with my own hands! But if she dies at the hands of someone else, it's none of my business!"

Rong Sheng: "...This is too heavy a topic, let's not talk about it, shall we? Didn't you say you wanted to return to the capital ahead of schedule? The closer we get to the capital, the warmer the weather gets. Should we head back now? I've never been to an ancient capital before!"

"Okay!" Gu Beiyi said indulgently.

So, Gu Beiyi discussed the matter with his trusted ministers and made preparations. On a dark and windy night, Gu Beiyi put his arm around Rong Sheng's waist and headed towards the capital like lightning.
