After a long while, once she had heard the complete story from Xiao Qian Weiwei, Hong Jiuquan stood there, stunned and unable to recover for a long time. Her expression was complex, her beautiful eyes filled with a mixture of emotions—shock, doubt, disbelief, but mostly skepticism about what Xiao Qian Weiwei had said.

"What you're saying... is all true?" Finally, Hong Jiuquan snapped out of his daze and looked at Xiao Qianwei with disbelief, as if trying to find a flaw in Xiao Qianwei's face.

"Of course, I'm completely Su Nian's spirit now. We're in the same boat, so there's no reason for me to lie to you, right?" Xiao Qian Weiwei said teasingly, arms outstretched. However, her eyes were very sincere, without the slightest hint of evasion.

Hong Jiuquan stared intently into Xiao Qianwei's eyes, trying to find a trace of deception. However, Xiao Qianwei's gaze was honest and clear, making it impossible to doubt the truthfulness of her words.

The shock in Hong Jiuquan's heart was beyond words. She gripped her chin tightly and murmured to herself, "If all of this is true... then just how powerful is the enemy he is facing!"

"You mean Ye Hua? The male body of Ye Hua in this life has long since died, but he still has a female body left in the world," Xiao Qianweiwei replied with a slight shrug.

Hearing this, Hong Jiuquan was even more shocked. Her eyes widened as she pressed, "According to what you just said, that Ghost Immortal is now invincible, and even many immortals are helpless against him. The other ninety-eight Ghost Emperors have also become his nourishment. Once he finds our realm, won't we all be doomed?" Her voice was filled with fear and unease, as if she were witnessing the end of the world.

"Not entirely. Now that even immortals have intervened, it means there's still a chance for things to turn around. In this life, Ye Hua, knowing he was powerless against Su Nian, chose to take a desperate gamble, deliberately sacrificing his male body to lower Su Nian's guard. But what he didn't know was that Su Nian encountered a mysterious immortal in the rift in the world and revealed Ye Hua's dual-body soul. By the way, what realm is Ye Yixuan at now?"

Hong Jiuquan recalled, and said in a deep voice, "After Ye Hua's death, her cultivation speed increased exponentially. Before, her cultivation level was at the late Golden Core stage, but after these three years of training, her cultivation level has soared to the early Void Refinement stage!"

"Early stage of Void Refinement... She's actually reached the early stage of Void Refinement! She's truly destined for greatness. How can she cultivate so well?" Xiao Qian Weiwei stared wide-eyed, muttering to herself in disbelief. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she couldn't help but swear.

Then she asked, "Has she been behaving herself all these years? Hasn't she been secretly causing trouble? Like using insects to control someone or something? After all, given her personality and methods, it would be strange if she hadn't caused any trouble."

Xiao Qianwei frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in her eyes, as if she were deep in thought.

Meanwhile, Hong Jiuquan, as if waking from a dream, began to recall the bits and pieces that had happened over the past three years.

After Xiao Qianweiwei's reminder, Hong Jiuquan suddenly realized that his disciple Hong Junya had indeed done many puzzling things during this period.

She initially thought it was just some emotional fluctuations or occasional erratic behavior, but now, upon closer reflection, these abnormalities seem to be exactly the same as Ru Beiqiu's back then.

Seeing Hong Jiuquan remain silent, Xiao Qianwei couldn't help but chuckle, "See? I told you so, didn't I?" Her tone was somewhat teasing, but also contained a hint of concern.

Hong Jiuquan nodded silently, indicating his agreement with Xiao Qianwei's opinion.

Hong Jiuquan sighed and nodded. "I think so... My disciple Hong Junya... She is also the only chief disciple in the entire show. Her behavior has been somewhat strange over the past three years. Now that you say so, she has probably fallen victim to Ye Yixuan's poisonous hands."

"It's good that we found out. Ye Yixuan is still nothing special. It's a piece of cake for us to control her," Xiao Qianwei said calmly.

Hong Jiuquan nodded in agreement.

However, at this moment, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Qianweiwei's lips. She looked at Hong Jiuquan with a half-smile and asked softly, "Now that you know everything that happened to Su Nian and that he is the mysterious black knight who saved you from danger back then, don't you have any other thoughts or feelings you want to express?"

Hong Jiuquan remained silent for a moment, then said indifferently, "I have nothing to say."

Xiao Qianwei blinked and asked cautiously, "Don't you want to get involved with Xu Xinrou and the others to fight for your own position?"

Hearing this, Hong Jiuquan couldn't help but find it somewhat laughable and gently shook his head. "Although Su Nian has saved my life twice, how could I, Hong Jiuquan, live off someone else? At most, I can only express my gratitude for his kindness. As for romantic feelings... I'm sorry, I have never considered that issue, neither in the past nor in the future."

Her voice was calm and firm, as if stating an unchangeable fact.

"Oh...I see." Xiao Qian clicked her tongue with slight regret and said, "What a pity..." Tsk tsk, Hong Jiuquan isn't as easy to talk to as Si Qiushan and Xu Xinrou. If she could join this war between women, the outcome would definitely be very interesting. "Alright, now that we've asked everything we needed to ask, I should take you to find Su Nian to verify this matter." Hong Jiuquan got off the bed and stood up.
