"I want to see him."

The woman's oil-paper umbrella turned red.

Huo Ling was furious when he realized that it was because of this woman that they were in the illusion and that he had to do that to Ah Li. He said, "Then why don't you jump into the water and go see him yourself!"

"Furthermore, so many people have come to this broken bridge, why did you have to choose me and drag others into it? Do you know what this is called? This is called harming the innocent!"

Ahri's zither playing was almost drowned out by Huo Ling's voice.

"Fire Ling".

Ahri called out.

Huo Ling then realized that, in truth, it was Ah Li who suffered the loss in this matter.

The woman in front of me is named Hong Gu. This beautiful woman once won the hearts of many with her charming and lovely appearance.

However, her eyes now revealed a hint of melancholy, as if a light cloud of sorrow had suddenly fallen over the clear summer sky.

Her face was still beautiful, but the sadness between her brows made people feel pity and want to explore the secrets in her heart.

Just then, a noise came from the water.

Ahri also sensed a 'person' appear beside her. The person gently sat down next to her, nodding at her with a smile on their face.

He didn't move his mouth, but Ahri could hear him say, "You played very well."

"You've finally decided to come out, Zhou Lang."

Hong Gu held the oil-paper umbrella in her hand and took two steps forward, but it was as if she was blocked by something and could not get closer.

The man known as Zhou Lang, dressed in a black robe, had a calm expression, as if he were wearing a mask. He looked at Hong Gu and said, "I already said I would let you go."

Hong Gu said, heartbroken, "But I am your wife."

“If you really knew you were my wife, you shouldn’t have lied to me in the first place.” Zhou Lang withdrew his gaze and instead watched Ah Li play the zither with serious attention.

I thought you would understand me.

"Understand you? From the very beginning, our meeting and our marriage were an elaborate deception. How can you expect me to understand you?"

Zhou Lang's face was like a delicate porcelain vase suddenly cracked.

Hong Gu took two steps back, her face filled with sorrow, as if she had countless grievances she couldn't express. "I have my reasons."

"Now you can tell me your reasons, right?"

Zhou Lang stood up and walked towards Hong Gu.

Ah Li's rendition of "Phoenix Seeking its Mate" ended at this moment. Ah Li stood up and said, "If you really have a reason, then take us to find Zhou Yu's remains."

Zhou Lang suddenly turned around and looked at Ah Li, and Hong Gu's eyes also suddenly turned red, and she looked at Ah Li with a ferocious expression.

Huo Ling immediately stood in front of Ah Li, but Ah Li stuffed the zither into his arms and said, "Protect the zither."

"Then be careful." Huo Ling hugged the zither.

Ah Li walked towards Hong Gu and said, "Surprised? Angry? You dragged so many people into the illusion, what was it all for? It was to tell everyone that Zhou Lang forced himself on you, that you were also a victim, that you were being forced every day, weren't you?"

"What do you know?" Hong Gu's previous worried expression vanished, replaced by a ferocious look as she shouted.

Ah Li suddenly rushed towards Hong Gu, snatched the hairpin from her head, and then retreated, saying sarcastically, "This hairpin was your personal item, but it was covered in talismans and poison. Did you really not know that? When you soberly plunged the hairpin into Zhou Lang's chest, did you really regret it?"

The lake calmed down, and Zhou Lang slowly walked to Huo Ling's side, pointing at the zither, "Give it to me."

"No!" Hong Gu suddenly cried out in terror.

Huo Ling looked at Ah Li, and Ah Li nodded to him, "Give it to him."

Huo Ling released his grip, and Zhou Lang hugged the zither, then jumped back into the water with it.

"Why? Why did you give him the instrument!"

Hong Gu suddenly reached out to Ah Li. Her ten fingernails were long and sharp, and the color of the nails was black and red.

However, with Huo Ling's protective array in place, Hong Gu could only rage helplessly outside the array.

Ah Li looked in the direction Zhou Lang had just left and said, word by word, "You used his entire lifeblood to forge that zither and even sank his body in the lake. Did you truly love him?"

What Ahri saw in her memory was incomplete.

However, the system administrator gave her a backdoor and told her the truth.

Hong Gu is the legitimate daughter of a certain family. In order for her family to prosper forever, she sets her sights on Zhou Lang.

This person's birth chart can bring prosperity to their family. As long as they win this person's heart, and then have this person killed by their beloved, and seal their body when they die full of resentment, and place it in a feng shui spot that can bring prosperity to their family, then their family can prosper forever.

Therefore, for the sake of her family, Hong Gu meticulously planned her chance encounter with Zhou Lang and even married him.

As a result, Zhou Lang's resentment was too strong. He hated Hong Gu's heartlessness and treachery, he hated that he had entrusted himself to the wrong person, and he hated that he was blind to her true nature.

Therefore, Hong Gu's family was disturbed by Zhou Lang's antics, and Hong Gu was also treated as a sinner and dragged to the broken bridge and drowned by her family members.

Zhou Lang then became more reserved and never appeared again.

However, Hong Gu's family was also wiped out, and even if someone mentions it, they just say she deserved it.

The lake water turned bright red at that moment, and a fine coffin slowly floated out of the lake. Hong Gu stared blankly at the coffin: "Zhou Lang."

He eventually made it up on his own.

Ah Li walked forward, but Huo Ling quickly stopped her, saying, "Tell me what you want to do, and I'll do it."
