Chapter 464 Change of Fortune
Those severed limbs all belonged to the demons.
Even demons can leave behind half a corpse, proving that this person once came to this world.
But her poor Tianyin didn't even leave behind a single piece of flesh!
Only the familiar, tattered fabric clearly told everyone a cruel truth.
She had been here before.
She's gone.
Moreover, in such a tragic way.
Since then, Hongchan Zhenren's state of mind has been affected.
A person who dedicates their life to the path of cultivation, yet cannot retain the person they care about—what kind of immortality is she cultivating? What kind of destiny is she trying to uncover?
Since fate cannot be changed, wouldn't it be more time-saving and effortless to just lie down and wait to die?
She knew her heart was sick.
But she didn't want to get treatment.
Until now.
She watched helplessly as her second female apprentice fell limply from mid-air. She tried to grab her hand, but could only watch as the hem of the other's clothes slipped off.
The seemingly indestructible realm suddenly trembled.
Then, it collapsed with a crash.
"You bastard, prepare to die!"
Seeing that the man was about to run away, Hongchan Zhenren summoned her natal sword and was about to give chase.
"Junior sister, Yi'er is still alive, she can be saved!"
The figure of the Red-Clothed Immortal suddenly stopped.
Yu Zhiyi didn't know how long she had been unconscious. When she opened her eyes, she felt as if she had been in another world.
She had a very, very long dream.
In his dream, she was just like Du Ziheng described, loving and understanding him, and living a life without experiencing many ups and downs.
The sadness and sorrow she felt in this dream were mostly directed at the Yu family and its members.
After Yu Jiaojiao was brought back, her family members initially expressed their firm stance that they would stand by her side.
They say that their birth is beyond their control, but their feelings are something they can decide.
Despite her repeated statements that she did not want to damage the relationship between the Yu family and Yu Jiaojiao, and that she had expressed her intention to leave, the Yu family resolutely refused to allow it.
On one occasion, Yu Jiaojiao threatened to kill herself, so she took Ziyuan away from the Yu residence under the cover of night. The next morning, she waited for the city gates to open and left the city without stopping for a moment.
She traveled for several months, and it was during this time that she met Du Ziheng.
They share common topics and their thoughts resonate with each other.
Du Ziheng said that after returning, he would explain the reason to Prime Minister Du and express his desire to marry her.
The Prime Minister and Madam Du from her previous life were no different from the ones she knew in this life. Although they were from a powerful and wealthy family, they were not picky about their daughter-in-law's background. As long as she was not of lowly birth, they would accept her.
Two months later, she had to go to Shengjing for her marriage.
When the Yu family learned that she was getting married, the whole family came looking for her. They scolded her for being cold-blooded and abandoning them, and blamed her for not informing them, her family, about her marriage.
No matter how much she tried to distance herself, they would always stick close to her.
She couldn't quite understand the Yu family members in her dream.
Besides Yu Chunyue's change of attitude based on his family's attitude because he didn't care about his two daughters, Madam Yu also sided with her.
Regardless of what Yu Jiaojiao did or whether she did anything wrong, they all despised her.
Later, Yu Jiaojiao finally couldn't bear the contrast and chose to commit suicide.
The Yu family members then pointed their guns at her, saying that she was scheming and had killed their daughter/sister.
Only the third brother argued that it had nothing to do with her and that it was because they were too cruel to Yu Jiaojiao that she couldn't think straight.
But nobody listened.
And so, she gradually drifted apart from the Yu family.
It wasn't until Prime Minister Du passed away and Du Ziheng became the new Prime Minister through his own abilities that the Yu family gradually reconciled with her.
In her dream, she and Du Ziheng did indeed have a deep affection for each other.
He gave up his three wives and four concubines, and she settled down in the inner quarters for his sake.
The only regret was that they were never able to have children.
Yu Zhiyi lay in bed, the bittersweet feeling from her dream still lingering in her heart.
She didn't know the deeper meaning behind the tears Du Ziheng shed on his deathbed in her dream, but she knew very well that she regretted her decision to enter into love on her deathbed.
Love is not inherently bad, but in her dream, she gave up what she wanted to do for love.
As Du Ziheng's position rose higher and higher, she could no longer break free from the shackles of "Madam Du," and no one remembered that she was once the respected Master Yu.
So, is this the reason for her rebirth?
But why didn't she have this memory in her past life?
She wanted to divine the outcome, but the divination results were a jumbled mess.
This time, no matter how many times she consulted the oracle, not a single answer was accurate.
"What happened?"
Yu Zhiyi frowned.
"Yi'er," Hongchan Zhenren's voice rang out.
Yu Zhiyi snapped out of her reverie, looked up, and exclaimed in surprise, "Master?"
The hair of the Red-Clothed Immortal was still half white, and the signs of aging on her face had not diminished.
However, her mental state was very different from before.
Although the original master looked gentle and kind, she exuded a sense of weariness.
The master before her, though looking even older than when she left, had a newfound fighting spirit and will to survive in his eyes.
"You've broken through?"
Hongchan Zhenren smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I've broken through."
She patted Yu Zhiyi's head, not wanting to say that all of this was because she was inspired to fight when she saw Yu Zhiyi's heart pierced.
Yu Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great."
In this way, the master's lifespan was extended to a thousand years.
He has another 500 years to live.
"By the way, how is that man in black robes?"
Yu Zhiyi was not surprised that she had not died.
Because at the moment she realized her life was about to dissipate, she activated the Golden Reincarnation Eye.
The word "reincarnation" is not just for show; those who possess the Golden Reincarnation Eyes are born with the ability to control their destiny.
In that instant, she was triggered by instinct, which brought her heart back to the state it was in before she was stabbed.
However, she had only just mastered this skill and was not yet proficient in using it, so her heart was still injured, though not to the point of death.
This was where she miscalculated, and it was also a lesson fate taught her.
Never underestimate fate.
People shouldn't think they can really stir up trouble; you never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.
Hongchan Zhenren looked gloomy: "That guy, he can run away but he can't hide."
After his breakthrough, not only did his temperament change, but his personality also seemed to become much more lively.
To be precise, it's shrewish.
Hongchan Zhenren briefly recounted what had happened since Yu Zhiyi fell into a coma.
Yu Zhiyi was in a coma for three days.
Shoushi City was in an uproar over the next three days.
The Gan family was almost wiped out.
However, several major forces, led by the Taixu Sect, and various hidden families have stepped forward, stating that there are still suspicious aspects to this matter and that a thorough investigation is necessary before a conclusion can be reached.
Of course, there are also dissenting voices.
Moreover, there is considerable opposition to preserving the Gan family's property.
However, the Gan family was not wiped out entirely; many elderly, weak, women, and children were left in the Gan family's stronghold to await their final judgment.
