In Afu's view, this is a very short story.
From the moment she met Aya to the moment she became a ray of light in the snowy region, only a few months had passed.
After she finished telling the story, everyone present fell silent, and no one uttered a sound.
"Is this the truth behind the war between gods and demons?" Helian Tengyun felt it was incredibly ironic.
There was no demon ravaging the world, nor a god saving it; it was just a group of profit-driven people who drove a sunny young man into becoming a demon. They even attempted to use this to manipulate those he cared about into killing each other.
And those people wanted to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
What did they do wrong from beginning to end?
Baili Qing simply didn't want to do the wrong thing.
Zhu Ting simply wanted to protect what her maternal grandfather and mother had never given up before their deaths.
Does the fact that as many people take sides make something wrong seem right?
Otherwise, why would everyone in the world be pressuring them?
The calmest one was Shangguan Liuyue.
He said, "This is not their end, otherwise, there would be no painting."
Although calm, the tone was heavy.
"After that, something else must have happened. Ah Qing waiting for Zhenzhen and me to come here must be related to this. People in this world still remember that the Baili family had a demon-possessed Baili Qing, but they don't remember Zhu Ting."
He didn't say anything more.
Everyone understood.
In Cong Ying's story, Baili Qing really died, didn't he...?
"So... actually, when the Demon Lord... that is, Baili Qing, discovered that you had the palace model that Zhu Ting gave you, he used magic on you, right? So, after you were killed by the cultivators, your soul did not dissipate, but was left in the model. This model may have become your body due to later circumstances. You and it are bound together."
Meng Wanwan shared her guess.
She smiled and said, "Bai Liqing probably wanted to protect you too."
To be precise, Baili Qing must have recognized Zhuting, who had been badly damaged by those cultivators, long ago, and as Zhuting's friend, Baili Qing also wanted to protect Afu.
When Baili Qing saw Zhu Ting, he probably already understood those people's intentions.
However, he did not expose it.
He didn't even expect that Zhu Ting would recognize him.
Their relationship may not be romantic, but it is one of mutual understanding and confidantry.
Congying nodded; that was what she thought too.
She was somewhat dazed; the memories she had just regained felt as if they weren't her own. But the heart-wrenching emotions suffocated her, leaving her unable to calm down.
Meng Wanwan, however, had already revealed her second guess.
"So, who exactly is Han Yueji?"
Meng Xiuyi looked down at her and said softly, "What do you think?"
Actually, everyone had their own guesses, but they just felt that this matter was too outrageous.
Because of her unusual background, Meng Wanwan has a more divergent way of thinking.
"How does her current behavior differ from that of the Han family in the story?"
Meng Wanwan hit the nail on the head, stating the outcome that people least wanted to hear.
People looked at Shangguan Liuyue as if seeking confirmation, for he was the only one who had ever seen that person.
Shangguan Liuyue nodded slightly: "The only person who could take out the Heavenly Gift Container of Zhuting's mother should be him. I just don't know how he managed to evade the memory seal."
“He didn’t escape the memory seal.” Meng Wanwan sneered. “If he had truly escaped the memory seal, he wouldn’t have faced me so calmly. After all, I suspect that something even more tragic must have happened after the battle in the snow mountain.”
"However, although he couldn't escape the memory seal, he must have left himself a way out, such as being reborn into another body or being reincarnated. That's why he knows so many methods that can create spiritual roots out of thin air."
Helian Xiao said irritably, "If that's really the case, then this person definitely won't let it go. No wonder she doesn't care about the Han family's reputation at all when she does things. This Han family probably doesn't mean anything to her."
For some reason, everyone felt that Han Yueji was a truly terrifying person.
A person who is willing to sacrifice anything to achieve their goals, with no bottom line and no weaknesses, is very difficult to deal with.
However, as long as he cannot recover his spiritual root, there is nothing to fear.
His biggest weakness is that he has no spiritual roots.
Meng Xiuyi comforted him, saying, "In any case, our situation is much better than theirs was back then. The power behind us is enough to fight against those people. The tragedy of that year will not happen to us again."
That's the truth.
Everyone finally felt a little relieved.
Next, they continued their exploration in the snowy region.
Basically, anything you want to know can be found in Congying's memories.
The reason they're still here is simply to find a quiet place to gather intelligence.
Although the Helian family no longer sends out household registration certificates, they can still gather information. The Shangguan family has shown some backbone this time, firmly standing by their side. As for the Hundred Flowers Forest, the sect has been completely sealed off; no one can enter. Tan Menggong has completely faded from public view, while the Han family and their lackeys remain hesitant and their attitude unclear.
However, they definitely have the ability to fight them.
It was only then that everyone suddenly realized that perhaps their current situation was something they had planned hundreds of years ago.
"Still no news of Chu You." Everyone came to the Meng family's space.
After her last battle, Meng Wanwan directly attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and is currently stabilizing her realm.
The others have also improved in strength. I don't know why, but I always feel that their strength has weakened since the battle at the Buddhist Respect Assembly.
This further strengthened their resolve to do it.
Perhaps, they are the ones who are following the will of Heaven.
"What exactly is the great gift that Bai Yuan mentioned? If it's related to the seal on Chongyang Palace, then is it related to Chu You?" Meng Xiuyi asked.
The child he raised with his own hands is now in a state of uncertainty, and he is deeply troubled.
"Let's go take a look." Meng Wanwan took Meng Xiuyi's hand, raised her face, and smiled.
Meng Xiuyi nodded slightly: "Okay."
Before leaving, Meng Wanwan returned to her room and called Niannian out.
Ever since Niannian was feeling unwell last time, Meng Wanwan has rarely called it out.
Niannian greeted Meng Wanwan affectionately, nuzzling her cheek and saying, "Master, I can finally come out."
Meng Wanwan stroked its fluffy head, her eyes full of laughter: "Okay, okay, stop fooling around, I have something to ask you."
Niannian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Master, please speak."
Meng Wanwan said softly, "Niannian... are you... Zhuting?"
Niannian was stunned.
