She stared blankly at the ground, muttering to herself, "I've worked so hard to improve my cultivation so that I could return to Earth after becoming an immortal! The system promised me! It clearly said that as long as I could become an immortal and clear this world, I could bring everything here back home! Cultivation... honor... wealth... all of these should have come back to Earth with me... Why... why..."

Su Nian said indifferently, "Things have come to this point, and I think you should understand one thing."

Ye Yixuan raised her head and asked, "What is it?"

"The system on you is not a good thing. It is a disaster from the Immortal Realm. Its only purpose is to control your mind and make you fierce and cruel."

Ye Yixuan: "..."

She stood up.

Her dark eyes swept over everyone present. She calmed herself down and asked Su Nian again, "Does everyone here know about this?"

"yes."

"Besides that?"

"It's gone."

"Why are you telling me all this? If you hate me so much, wouldn't it be easier to just kill me?"

“Immortal Venerable Rouyun once said something to me,” Su Nian suddenly said.

Ye Yixuan asked curiously, "What did you say?"

Su Nian recalled their conversation on Immortal Mountain and slowly said, "She said that the one who tied the knot must untie it. At first, I thought she was talking about myself, but now I have suddenly changed my mind."

Ye Yixuan frowned. "You mean...me?"

"Yes, you and the Ghost Immortal are the same person. Only you two possess the system. So, logically speaking, if this system has a loophole, how can you find the person who has this loophole? There is only one person in the world who can find it."

Ye Yixuan suddenly laughed, "So that's how it is. So you don't dare to kill me now?"

Su Nian stroked her chin and said playfully, "Qiu Shan! You can come out now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Si Qiushan stepped out from behind the screen. She smiled sweetly and covered her mouth with her hand, saying, "You're here. Is there anything I can do for you?"

The moment Ye Yixuan saw Si Qiushan, her expression changed instantly. Her previous arrogance vanished, replaced by a livid face.

Su Nian approached Si Qiushan and introduced Ye Yixuan with a smile: "I don't think I need to elaborate on her abilities, right? Seven Star Soul Return Technique, Seven Star Soul Search Technique... In short, she has easily mastered all martial arts techniques related to soul memories. I'm inviting you to join us and fight against the Ghost Immortal as a favor to you. If you don't know what's good for you... then we'll have no choice but to kill you first and then explore the secrets of the system little by little from your memories."

Ye Yixuan's face was ashen, like a pig's liver.

She had no doubt about Su Nian's methods, after all...

He hated himself to the core, and being a half-step immortal, he naturally had many tricks up his sleeve.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Yixuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, but I have one condition."

"What are the conditions?" Su Nian asked.

Ye Yixuan said seriously, "You just said that every one of my alternate-world counterparts returned to Blue Star after refining the entire continent, only to find that Blue Star had already been destroyed. Could it be that they returned too late?"

Su Nian crossed her arms and continued listening to Ye Yixuan speak.

"If I could go back earlier in this life, could I have changed everything and had a different ending?" Ye Yixuan asked.

Su Nian pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

"I have no idea."

Ye Yixuan pursed her red lips.

She knew in her heart that this was a difficult task.

but……

She just wanted to give it a try.

What if?

What if I go back and find my parents there?

With a thud, Ye Yixuan knelt down on the ground.

She kowtowed three times loudly to Su Nian and shouted, "Su Nian! Please spare me! The Ye Hua who truly framed you and caused you pain was not me! Although I have grudges with you in this life, you have already killed another version of me, haven't you? You have already taken your revenge. Now I just want to live well as Ye Yixuan! I promise you! I can help you fight against the Ghost Emperor! But you must promise me that after defeating the Ghost Emperor, you will send me back to Blue Star!"

All eyes were on Ye Yixuan.

She was emotional and her voice was sincere; it didn't sound like she was lying.

But... Ye Yixuan's most extraordinary quality isn't her talent.

It was her superb acting skills, rather than her talent.

Under everyone's gaze, Su Nian said calmly, "Okay, no problem, I agree."

Before Ye Yixuan could even feel happy, she heard Su Nian say again, "However... I still don't trust you. Before, you used the Parasitic Demon to control other people's minds to prevent them from betraying you. Now, I'm going to use the same trick on you."

Ye Yixuan was taken aback, but quickly understood what Su Nian meant.

"Okay!" She nodded, her voice suddenly softening. "We've been fellow disciples for so many years, and I trust your character, Junior Brother."

Su Nian got goosebumps all over and quickly took out a Soul Flame and showed it to Ye Yixuan.

"Swallow this thing, and from this day forward, your life will be in my hands. If I discover that you have any ill intentions, I can make you vanish into thin air with a flick of my finger."

Ye Yixuan stared intently at the Soul Flame, then opened her mouth wide and swallowed it with a loud "ah-hoo".
