Yi Sheng's face turned deathly pale. The instant a beam of light flashed across Yin Yang's body, he felt a terror that went straight to the depths of his soul. Immediately, the scene Yin Yang had described flashed through his mind.

And Cangmu told him the whole plan!

Yin Yang looked at Yi Sheng coldly and said, "Upon entering reincarnation, all memories will be erased, and you are no exception. Although I have the symbiotic lotus seed given to me by Cang Mu, my Yang spiritual energy was depleted too much during the battle with you, and most of it was occupied by Yin spiritual energy. Therefore, I only transformed into a female form..."

Yin Yang paused, then squinted at Yi Sheng. "I suspect... perhaps this is Cang Mu's plan to prevent Qing'er from accepting me?"

Cang Mu must know that as long as the two of them are of the same sex in this world, Yin Yang will definitely not be able to put aside his pride and tell Xuan Qing'er the truth!

And for this reason, Yin Yang did not express any of his feelings to Xuan Qing'er.

So much so that when Xuan Qing'er finally discovered the secret of Yin and Yang, she became suspicious and almost killed him.

Yi Sheng pursed his lips and remained silent, his tacit acceptance confirming the truth to Cui Ming and Xuan Qing'er.

Yin Yang looked at Yi Sheng and said, "I just didn't expect that while the body is destroyed, the soul lives on forever. When exactly did you take over my senior brother's body?"

Yisheng raised his head with a bitter smile and said helplessly, "I didn't take over his body. On the contrary, I saved him. Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't have any memories of wanting to harm you. If I did, with my abilities, neither of you would be alive now!"

Upon hearing Yi Sheng's words, Yin Yang frowned deeply. What he said was indeed reasonable; this person was probably the strongest warrior by Cang Mu's side so far, wasn't he?

"To be honest, the real Yisheng actually died ten years ago. At that time, he went up the mountain alone to gather herbs and was bitten by a poisonous snake. In his last moments, he saw me floating in my spirit form. I actually felt sorry for him. He had always worked very hard for the Sword Pavilion, but because Cui Ming took in a guy named Yiping, he stole his master's favor from him, to the point that no one was willing to accompany him when he went up the mountain to gather herbs..."

Yi Sheng looked at Cui Ming and sneered, "To be honest, Yi Sheng was actually killed by you... that's true!"

Cui Ming trembled and stared blankly at Yi Sheng in front of him. This arrogant and domineering tone was completely different from the humble and obedient disciple he used to know!

"That kid was not only a good-for-nothing, but also weak-willed. He never forgot to go back and make his master a midnight snack until his death! Ah, how adorable and pitiful!"

Yisheng chuckled self-deprecatingly, it was unclear whether he was referring to the "him" of the past or to himself now...

Upon hearing this, Cui Ming's legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground. "Yi Sheng... he's already dead?"

He thought he still had a chance to make amends for his mistake.

Little did they know that it was already too late!

Seeing Cui Ming's expression, Yi Sheng couldn't help but sneer:

"Yes, I watched him slowly die, his soul gradually dissipating, and then I directly entered his body and obtained his memories..."

Yi Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Although I can't understand why I'm in this world and have forgotten what I should do, I have no complaints. I think it's better to live according to Yi Sheng's wishes, respect my teachers and elders, and protect the Sword Pavilion... Just live an ordinary and peaceful life like this!"

At this point, Yi Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice suddenly becoming extremely fierce, "But! You just won't give me a way out! My second junior brother, whom I've taken care of for so long, has been praised to the skies by you, and what about him? He actually wanted to kill me! Heh! I really didn't expect that my demonic heart wouldn't be so cruel as to harm you, but you treated me with such heartlessness!"

Yin Yang remained silent. He was also helpless about Yi Ping's situation. No one had realized that the honest and simple Yi Ping actually had such a cunning mind!

"And you too!"

Yi Sheng turned around and pointed at Cui Ming, scolding, "You keep saying you'll save me, but you're cowardly, incompetent, and clueless about people's hearts! If kneeling to those people were effective, would you need to kneel to them? I would have done it long ago! That Gu Liyan saw through my identity and despised me in every way, yet you didn't even realize it—you can't even see through people's hearts, you're a complete and utter waste!"

Cui Ming stared blankly at Yi Sheng, his blood-red eyes filled with anger and resentment, completely different from his previous self.

Clenching his fists, Cui Ming stared blankly at Yi Sheng. He had no right to lecture him, not even ten years ago!

"Haha, the most ridiculous thing is myself. I actually developed feelings for the enemy I was supposed to be chasing!" Yisheng covered his face, not knowing whether he was laughing or crying, and pointed at Yin Yang with a sorrowful expression.

Yin Yang remained calm, showing only brotherly concern for Yi Sheng, nothing more.

Seeing Yin Yang's cold and indifferent gaze, Yi Sheng angrily kicked away the chair beside him and roared, "And I, in the end, am still someone else's pawn! The most useless pawn among useless pieces!"

Yisheng collapsed to his knees, muttering to himself, "If... if I had another chance, I would never act according to this good-for-nothing's ideas..."

no way--

Yisheng covered his face and burst into tears, and at that moment his skin began to rot...

Upon hearing Yi Sheng's words and seeing his grief-stricken appearance, coupled with the changes in his skin, Cui Ming felt a lump in his throat and his heart softened.

He walked up to him, gently patted his shoulder, and said in a heartfelt tone, "Yisheng, you are you, you are Yisheng, not someone else. No matter who you are, you are my disciple..."
