Chapter 14 The Truth About the Fairy in the Painting
In a dark, ghostly realm, a woman in red floated in mid-air, with intermittent streams of spiritual energy flowing from below.
Those refined-looking people were the students who had ranked last in the previous exam.
She glanced at the scholar below, who was sweating profusely as he wrote his essay, and suddenly frowned, trying to block out the sounds in her head.
As she listened to the voice, a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips. It would be over soon.
Just then, she sensed something amiss at the border of the Ghost Realm and appeared there in a flash.
She initially thought it was some little creature that had wandered in by mistake, but unexpectedly she saw a familiar figure standing there.
She stopped, looked at the man, and said, "You actually dare to come back? Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Yun Weiyue looked at the woman in red opposite her and immediately noticed her unconscious gesture of clutching her sleeve. It was the kind of gesture she made when she was nervous, and Yun Weiyue couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
It seems that Shao Yanzhe's guess was correct; the woman in red in front of him is another personality of hers.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind. She had many questions she wanted to ask, but now she needed the woman in red to take the initiative to admit it.
Yun Weiyue suppressed her complex emotions, raised her head slightly, and said with great certainty, "I already know."
The woman in red felt a chill run down her spine. What did she know?
“We are one, and I will support whatever you want to do and help you. After all, this is my enemy.”
Yun Weiyue stared at the woman in red and asked, "What do you think?"
The woman in red was already frozen, with only one sentence echoing in her mind.
She found out!
She really did know!
He suppressed the other annoying voice in his mind.
She felt somewhat lost, wondering if Yun Weiyue would resent her, after all, she was partly responsible for Yun Weiyue's death.
Just then, Shao Yanzhe appeared.
“I think we have a common enemy, Shen Moyuan. If he admits that he gave false testimony and deliberately framed you, your case will be easy to overturn.”
As he spoke, he carefully observed the woman in red. When he realized she had no intention of making a move, he relaxed a little.
The woman in red forced herself to calm down. Knowing that Yun Weiyue already knew, she had no intention of hiding it any longer, so she told her everything she had done.
When Yun Weiyue was imprisoned by Shen Moyuan in the back of the Shen family mansion, she had no one else with her except for a personal maid.
The personal maid was also a traitor. Seeing that she had no chance of getting back on her feet, she started to seduce Shen Moyuan and became his concubine.
Yun Weiyue returned to her room to rest, only to find the two of them having sex on her bed. She was so angry that she fainted.
At that moment, another personality emerged.
The other personality possesses all of Yun Weiyue's memories, and her personality is completely opposite to Yun Weiyue's. She hates evil and cannot tolerate Shen Moyuan's betrayal.
The moment he appeared, he grabbed a stool from the room and threw it at the two people on the bed, beating them severely.
Afterwards, he even controlled Yun Weiyue's body, wanting to kill Shen Moyuan and help Yun Weiyue escape from here.
But Shen Mo was far more cruel than imagined. When he discovered that Yun Weiyue had developed a rebellious attitude towards him, he knew that he could not keep her any longer. So, while she was lost in thought by the lake, he pushed her into the lake.
Even after her death, he had someone control her soul to help him harm people and collect spiritual energy.
However, Shen Moyuan was unaware that Yun Weiyue had two souls within her, and that she only controlled the soul of the woman in red, while Yun Weiyue's original personality was hidden by the woman in red.
When she was released to help Shen Moyuan find the scholar, she infused Yun Weiyue's soul into the portrait that Shen Moyuan had given her and sent a dying scholar to deliver the scroll.
The purpose of doing this is to prevent Yun Weiyue from being discovered one day.
The woman in red looked away, not daring to meet Yun Weiyue's gaze: "Actually, if I hadn't acted rashly back then, causing Shen Moyuan to have murderous intent, you wouldn't have died. If you resent me, I'll let you hit me or scold me, but once I kill Shen Moyuan, I'll atone with my death."
Seeing her like this, Yun Weiyue couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She lightly stepped forward, reached out and took her hands, her eyes full of tenderness.
"How could I blame you? In fact, you did what I wanted to do. I was raised to be submissive, and when faced with something that disgusted me, I didn't know what to do."
I am very grateful to you for everything you have done for me. I will not hit you or scold you. I just feel sorry for you because you are being controlled by that person and have to help him do evil.
Actually, you should blame me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be facing all this.
The woman in red was taken aback. She hadn't expected that she would not only not be blamed, but would also be comforted.
Suddenly, she felt something fall onto the back of her hand. She looked down and saw a drop of red liquid.
When she realized what it was, her body stiffened, and she became completely at a loss.
"Why are you crying? Is it because of that Shen Moyuan? Don't worry, he'll be dead soon!"
Yun Weiyue looked up at the woman in red, her eyes filled with red tears. She earnestly corrected her, "I'm crying not because of him, but because of you. You've suffered all these years."
She looked at the murderous aura emanating from the woman in red, which was mixed with red, signifying that she had killed innocent people and that she would never be reincarnated.
Shen Moyuan, you deserve to die!
The woman in red fell silent, unsure of what to say.
Yun Weiyue wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "By the way, I still don't know your name! Can you tell me?"
The woman in red shook her head slightly: "I don't have a name. In fact, I've always used your name."
Yun Weiyue smiled and patted the back of her hand, saying, "It's alright, you can use it if you want. However, there are two of us, and it's really inconvenient to use the same name. Do you want the name Yun Weiyue, or would you like to choose a different one?"
After a moment of silence, the woman in red said, "I want a new name. I want you to help me think of a name that belongs to me."
"Yun Qingsu, derived from 'Hanxiang Tisu Yu Qingcheng,' is from the same poem as my name. What do you think?"
"Yun Qingsu? What a beautiful name, I love it!" The woman in red, Yun Qingsu, immediately smiled, and her whole demeanor became much brighter.
Shao Yanzhe stood aside, watching the two ghosts talk without interrupting. He squatted down and stroked Xuan Yao's smooth fur, feeling extremely satisfied.
Yun Weiyue pulled Yun Qingsu to him and introduced them.
“This is my younger sister, Yun Qingsu.”
Then he introduced to Yun Qingsu: "This is Shao Yanzhe, who is a business partner for the time being."
Shao Yanzhe nodded slightly to Yun Suqing.
Yun Suqing glanced at him, then suddenly grabbed at him with her five fingers forming a claw, pulling out a wisp of black mist from his body.
Shao Yanzhe felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then he felt much lighter.
He cupped his hands in thanks to Yun Suqing, saying, "Thank you!"
Yun Su nodded.
Yun Weiyue glanced down at the black cat on the ground, making eye contact with it without missing it: "This is Xuan Yao."
Xuan Yao and Yun Suqing exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with disdain, before turning their heads away from each other.
After getting to know each other, the group sat down together and began to discuss.
"You need to provide Shen Moyuan with detailed information so we can come up with a solution," Shao Yanzhe said.
He looked at Yun Suqing and said, "You are currently under Shen Moyuan's control, so you should know his location."
Yun Suqing nodded: "I know, he is the chief examiner for this imperial examination. He arrived a long time ago and should be in the examination hall now."
The Imperial Examination Hall was filled with the aura of Chinese destiny, and I was unable to enter.
Shao Yanzhe was not surprised by this: "Okay, then after the academy exam is over, we'll find an opportunity to find Shen Moyuan and make him admit that he gave false testimony and wronged you back then."
"Alright, that's the only way." Yun Weiyue and Yun Suqing both nodded in agreement.
We've already waited so many years, a few more days won't hurt.
Yun Weiyue glanced at Yun Suqing, then turned to Shao Yanzhe and said, "Since you have nothing to do these next few days, we can help you improve your writing."
As Shao Yanzhe was being watched by Yun Weiyue and Yun Suqing, he recalled the experience of being guided to the brink of death by the two of them, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
He touched his thick, black hair; it seemed he might not be able to keep it.
He also knew that the articles he was writing were only of average quality. Having two top scholars who almost achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations tutoring him was something others would beg for.
"good!"
He readily agreed, thinking, "It's just practicing coding problems, that's my specialty!"
Therefore, Shao Yanzhe took the initiative to stay in Yun Suqing's ghost realm.
In the Ghost Realm, time flows more slowly than outside, and one doesn't experience fatigue or hunger; one's mental and physical state is basically at its peak.
This is a great place, perfect for him to practice his coding problems.
Shao Yanzhe spent his days doing practice questions and writing articles, and his evenings receiving guidance from Yun Weiyue and Yun Suqing. This cycle continued for only three days before he began to feel the pressure.
To relieve his stress, he persuaded them to drag his classmates into the ghost realm as well.
Classmate: That's really awful!
Shao Yanzhe disagreed, saying he was only doing this for the good of his classmates!
What did he do wrong? Think about whether your articles have improved in recent times. Don't just spout nonsense. He's done a great job too!
He contributed two scholars who achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations!
Faced with this, the classmates could only channel their grief and indignation into motivation, burying themselves in reading and writing, and accepting guidance from the two top scholars.
With his classmates sharing the pressure, Shao Yanzhe finally had a little time to catch his breath. Of course, he did not slack off and worked hard to catch up with those students who had the best grades.
Time slipped away quietly as everyone buried themselves in their studies, and the time for the provincial examination arrived.
