Xia Wan read the text on the system panel word by word. Each page of text seemed to carry a heavy weight, making it hard for her to breathe.
When she finally finished reading the last line, she sat there frozen in place, as if under a spell, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
Time passed second by second. After a long while, Xia Wan blinked as if waking from a dream, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. However, the shocking content was etched into her mind like a brand, and she could not shake it off no matter what.
Looking at his daughter's stunned expression, Xia Jianguo couldn't help but find it amusing.
He coughed lightly and asked, "Girl, what's wrong? Judging from your expression, did you see something earth-shattering?"
Hearing her father's voice, Xia Wan slowly raised her head, her eyes still somewhat confused.
She reached out and rubbed her cheeks hard, as if trying to clear her head, then took a deep breath and began to tell her father everything she had just seen.
"Old Xia, I saw what happened after you died in my previous life. Xia Zhong, your biological father, and your sisters actually killed the Guo family and Old Man Xia's family! They were all run over by trucks, and the scene was extremely bloody... In the end, your father and sisters were also caught by the enemy and were eaten alive..."
To be honest, when I read those words just now, it felt like I was struck by a thunderbolt, and I was completely shocked.
The events described there were truly astonishing, especially the deep and moving affection that Old Xia's family had for him.
To avenge their loved ones, they disregarded their own safety and were even willing to pay any price. Their resolute determination is simply unimaginable.
If you only hear about this from someone else, many people might think that this family is too impulsive and foolish. After all, risking the future of the whole family for a moment of revenge does not seem like a wise move.
However, upon seeing the meticulous textual description and the accompanying clear images, Xia Wan found herself unable to utter a single word that could belittle the Xia family.
The sincere emotions conveyed between the lines and the resolute scenes depicted in the paintings are both deeply moving and awe-inspiring.
As Xia Wan began her slow narration, Xia Jianguo, who had initially appeared quite relaxed, gradually changed his expression.
His brows began to furrow slowly, and the corners of his mouth stopped turning up, replaced by an increasingly solemn expression.
Finally, when he heard the words, "To avenge you, you'd risk your whole family?", Xia Jianguo could no longer contain his surprise and doubt, and blurted out, "To avenge me, you'd risk your whole family?"
Faced with her father's question, Xia Wan nodded in affirmation, then took a deep breath and continued, "Not long after you committed suicide, they came knocking on our door. When they witnessed your gruesome death, everyone went berserk and lost their minds. Without a word, they attacked, breaking the legs of everyone in the Xia family except for Xia Jianlin's family... and the Guo family too..."
In this era, blatant murder, especially by someone of the Xia family's status, would attract a lot of attention and people would be waiting to find something to use against them!
After she finished speaking, Xia Jianguo frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Daughter, didn't you say before that the world we live in is like a book? If that's the case, then anything that happens should be considered normal, right? Comrade Xia, why are you so surprised?"
He really didn't expect that someone would avenge him in his previous life. He felt very complicated and conflicted!
Xia Jianguo only heard his daughter's summary and did not see the incredibly shocking title, and his heart was already filled with complicated feelings.
However, Xia Wan did not agree with her father's point of view.
She frowned deeply and shook her head vigorously, protesting, "No, Dad! I still feel something's wrong. That book has nothing to do with us!"
This is a real, tangible world! You've lived here twice already, don't you understand? Even if your previous life wasn't ideal, doesn't that just prove this is a living, breathing, real world?
Furthermore, the fact that this world is as mysterious and unpredictable as a book makes her wonder if there were people from this world who traveled to the real world and wrote down everything they experienced in this world as a book?
You know, she's not the only one who can time travel, right?
Thinking about this, Xia Wan found it increasingly interesting.
After all, the fact that she herself was able to bind to a magical system after transmigrating is fantastical enough in itself.
So even if anything strange or incomprehensible happens next, she will not find it strange, and will even think that these are all normal phenomena.
At this moment, Xia Jianguo looked at his daughter's thoughtful expression, smiled slightly, and said earnestly, "Daughter, don't always get caught up in those trivial matters! Let's not worry about whether this world is a book or not. Anyway, we're just living ordinary lives here now, so we don't need to worry too much about other things! We just need to live according to the way we truly desire in our hearts and start a new journey in life."
Then again, in their previous life, they lost their lives in that terrible earthquake.
Now that he has the good fortune to return to this world, whether it is his rebirth or his daughter's transmigration, isn't it just like getting a free life?
If that's the case, why bother worrying about so many unnecessary things?
Xia Wan was enlightened by her father's words and instantly felt much more awake.
But then she suddenly remembered what the system had said earlier, words that it seemed to want to say but didn't: "Do you think I wanted to come here? Not really..."
What is it yet?
Is there some hidden secret?
Although the system ultimately did not make it clear, and even quickly changed the subject, how could someone as intelligent as her not know that their sudden arrival in this world was by no means accidental?
What force or opportunity led to all of this?
She pondered to herself.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little hopeful about the query function of that mysterious system.
Perhaps the next time I use this feature, I can find some clues and discover the real reason behind the matter.
