"What big secret?" Zhao Churan asked hurriedly.
The old man didn't keep us in suspense and said, "Beside the gate to the demon realm, another ancient gate appeared, seemingly separating the two realms. We could vaguely see the other side, a world completely unfamiliar to us. We suspect it is the other half of Earth."
To put it another way, Earth was much larger than it is now, but half of its surface was isolated to the other side, invisible to us. However, after a great upheaval, that isolated world is about to return; it is suspected to be the prehistoric civilization of our Great Xia Dynasty.
Zhao Churan was startled upon hearing this.
The old man continued, "Our Great Xia once discovered ancient artifacts from over nine thousand years ago, but there were no clues at the time. Now I suspect those artifacts are related to the other half of Earth. I have an idea now; I'm thinking of sending Ye Qiu to that world after some time."
"Ye Qiu is now the Martial Emperor of Great Xia. What will happen to Great Xia if he leaves?"
“You still don’t understand that guy enough.” The old man laughed. “If nothing unexpected happens, that kid has already started looking for the next Great Xia Emperor. He will definitely free himself because he likes freedom. Once he is free, I will send him to that world to explore how far the prehistoric civilization we don’t know has developed. But before that, we still need to do some research and get a preliminary understanding.”
“If the two worlds are truly to merge, who knows what conflicts will arise? We also don’t know how far that world has developed. So it’s good for Ye Qiu to find out sooner rather than later. If it’s a golden age of cultivation, Ye Qiu can also benefit from it in advance,” Zhao Churan said.
"The initial estimate is that it is a golden age in which both cultivation and technology have reached their peak, but it is not certain yet, since we cannot enter it now."
That's all for later. Right now, the most urgent thing is your own problem. You need to find a way to calm Ye Qiu down, because what you did really hurt him deeply.
"I know, I will try my best." Zhao Churan smiled bitterly.
She never dreamed that the so-called Grandpa Ye was actually Ye Qingdi.
...
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu was still searching for Jianjia.
He searched until midnight, and was on the verge of collapse when Zhao Churan finally took Yu Jianjia and went to find Ye Qiu.
As soon as Yu Jianjia saw Ye Qiu, she ran to his side and tears welled up in her eyes: "Emperor Wu... she killed my family."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu did not respond immediately.
Ye Qiu's mind was also in a mess right now, so what did Zhao Churan mean by this?
Zhao Churan stared at Ye Qiu, her eyes somewhat somber, and uttered three words: "I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry?" Ye Qiu asked, "Why should I apologize? Weren't you going to kill everyone around me?"
“I wanted to deliberately provoke you and make you extremely angry, but now I know I’ve gone down the wrong path.” Zhao Churan lowered her head.
"What exactly happened? Explain yourself clearly."
Ye Qiu gritted his teeth.
"Okay, I...I'll tell you everything."
After taking a deep breath, Zhao Churan recounted everything in detail.
Ye Qiu was increasingly shocked as he listened, and by the end, he almost couldn't help but slap the person across the face.
"So you were so cold to me the moment you woke up, and from that moment on you were already plotting to make me so angry that I broke down?"
"yes."
"But you never expected that you would fall into Ye Qingdi's trap?" Ye Qiu sneered.
"Yes." Zhao Churan felt deeply ashamed.
"Zhao Churan, how did you become so stupid after the fusion? I can't believe you're capable of doing these things, and I can't believe you would actually kill someone just to provoke me."
“I didn’t intend to kill anyone,” Zhao Churan hurriedly said. “Wang Xiaoyu is still alive. She’s in a hotel in the capital. As for this Yu Jianjia, I sent people to arrest her family. I warned them seriously not to hurt anyone, but my men made a mistake and seriously injured them. I tried to save them, but I couldn’t.”
"Sister Yu, I've killed all those people who were so ruthless. You saw it at the scene. I'm truly sorry. If you still harbor resentment, kill me. I won't resist."
"If I kill you, will my family come back to life?" Yu Jianjia gritted her teeth. "Your initial intention to help Emperor Wu was good, but how can you hurt innocent people like us just to help him? Aren't we human beings?"
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I know I was wrong. You decide how to punish me."
Zhao Churan felt extremely ashamed.
"I can't beat you, and I don't want to beat you. I just want my family to come back."
Yu Jianjia's tears kept falling; she was deeply saddened.
Zhao Churan felt incredibly sad looking at Yu Jianjia, who was crying uncontrollably.
"Look at the mess we've made now, how are we going to clean this up?"
Ye Qiu was extremely agitated.
"I...I don't know."
Zhao Churan gripped the hem of her skirt tightly.
This woman, with her extraordinary cultivation, was now like a little girl who had made a mistake, completely at a loss.
"You'll have to figure this out yourself, I can't help you," Ye Qiu said through gritted teeth.
"Ye Qiu..."
Zhao Churan suddenly looked up, staring at Ye Qiu, looking pitiful with tears welling up in her eyes.
