"And the second one?"
"The second thing is that I will erase your memories of your past life and then arrange a path for you." This was also An Ge's initial plan. Given her relationship with Emperor Feng Zhao, saving He Yanran would not be difficult.
As for He Yanran's future life, as long as Emperor Fengzhao makes good arrangements, she can live a worry-free life.
Without hesitation, He Yanran said, "Since the immortal isn't here to help me, let's pretend we've never met today."
An Ge asked curiously, "Why?" She couldn't understand, since the second option was clearly a better choice for He Yanran.
He Yanran gave a bitter smile. "Yanran was once blessed by heaven and earth, and my memories of my past life are my greatest treasure. Rather than losing this treasure and living an ordinary life, I would rather have my memories of my past life and live a magnificent life, even if I am shattered to pieces."
She still harbored some hope and expectation, a lingering obsession with becoming empress.
Looking at the ambition in He Yanran's eyes, An Ge sighed. She really couldn't understand the allure of power. "Since it's your own choice, I respect it. Let's pretend we never met today."
Just as she was about to leave, she heard He Yanran ask, "The immortal could have taken back my memories without my knowledge, so why did you ask me?" She could see that the immortal wanted her to choose the second option, and when she refused, she was already prepared to have her memories forcibly erased.
Unexpectedly, the immortal, aside from being disappointed, did nothing to him.
"Your memories are your own; forcibly taking them back would be disrespectful to you," An Ge said, looking at the failed mission screen with some frustration. But she wouldn't take her anger out on He Yanran, after all, the other woman was innocent.
He Yanran didn't understand the immortal's thoughts, but a feeling of being moved welled up in her heart. Whether in her past life or this one, this feeling of being respected seemed to be the first time she had ever experienced it.
"Thank you, Immortal." He Yanran had mixed feelings. She had a lot to say, but all she could say was a thank you.
An Ge looked at the slender woman, whose dark gray was mixed with some black, making her look somewhat eerie.
In fact, even without the Eye of Insight, she could tell that He Yanran's fortune was not very high.
To her surprise, He Yanran's health bar was green.
An Ge knew that He Yanran's fate had changed so drastically because of her existence. If anyone should hate her the most, it would be He Yanran.
Unexpectedly, the person who should hate her the most was actually very friendly to her.
An Ge suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for He Yanran. This woman was ambitious, but not malicious. Knowing Feng Jinghan as she did, she knew that no matter how capable He Yanran was, she couldn't achieve her wish.
Fine, let's discuss it with Emperor Feng Zhao and give He Yanran a good ending.
An Ge originally didn't want to get too involved in He Yanran's affairs, but she changed her mind at this moment.
"What a huge loss," An Ge said with a hint of self-deprecation.
As He Yanran watched An Ge's constantly changing expression, she felt a sense of kinship with the immortal. After thinking for a moment, she took out the jade pendant she always carried with her. "Immortal, this jade pendant suddenly appeared beside me after my rebirth. I don't know what it's used for, but it must be something extraordinary. I'll give it to you, Immortal."
The jade pendant looked ordinary, and not even particularly valuable, but An Ge knew that it should be the spatial jade. She didn't expect He Yanran to give it to her.
“This jade pendant is very valuable to me, why are you giving it to me? I haven’t offered you any help.” An Ge was somewhat puzzled.
He Yanran smiled. "It's fine as long as it's useful to immortals. To me, it's just an ordinary jade pendant. Seeing it reminds me of my past life, an experience that wasn't pleasant."
Looking at the determination in He Yanran's eyes, An Ge accepted the jade pendant, saying, "Then I wish you happiness and peace in this life."
After leaving the Prime Minister's residence, An Ge was in a bad mood, feeling sorry for Yan Ran's fate.
Lu Yan watched the whole thing and couldn't understand He Yanran's choice at all. "For her, forgetting the pain of the past is clearly the best choice. Why is she still insisting on doing it her way?"
"Human nature is complex. Because she has memories of her past life, she is unwilling to accept her fate in this life, and her ambition is even greater. I think it is perhaps this obsession that supports her to keep going."
Lu Yan frowned. "Humans are so complicated. You shouldn't have let her make the choice in the first place. Now the mission isn't completed, it's such a loss."
An Ge didn't expect Lu Yan to understand. In fact, she herself didn't quite understand He Yanran's choice, and even couldn't quite see through this person.
It can only be said that obsession can drive people mad. Perhaps one day in the future, He Yanran will face a life-or-death situation and realize that her wish in this life is hopeless, and she will regret her choice today.
"It's not a complete loss, and I didn't get any punishment. Besides, I even got a spatial jade," An Ge comforted herself.
Back in her room, she took out the spatial jade and looked at it closely. She saw information appear next to the jade pendant.
"Spatial Jade: Having undergone time travel, it bears the imprint of time and space, and may even contain the lifelong array formation knowledge of some unknown great master, which can help in comprehending the laws of space. Note: If the companion of the Spatial Jade loses the traces of time and space, it will become an ordinary jade pendant."
"Hmm! Hmm?" An Ge's eyes widened after reading the introduction, and her hand holding the jade pendant trembled slightly.
"Wow, I'm the chosen one! What incredible luck!" An Ge exclaimed excitedly, clutching the jade pendant and grinning like an idiot.
She had long admired Lu Yan's ability to set up formations at will, but unfortunately, comprehending formations required spatial talent, which she lacked, and she could only set up some simple formations.
With this jade pendant, she can study formations more deeply and might even become a formation master.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to get an unexpected reward even though the mission wasn't completed." Compared to the mission's reward, this jade pendant was clearly more valuable. If she learned formation techniques, she might be able to set up a teleportation array herself.
An Ge's attitude towards missions has always been to do everything possible to complete them, and she never thought there was another way to get a reward.
"It seems that we don't necessarily have to follow the mission instructions exactly. There are too many unpredictable things involved, and even the Heavenly Dao behind it cannot fully foresee them," An Ge said thoughtfully.
If she follows the mission, once He Yanran loses her memories of her past life, the time and space imprints on her body will disappear, and even if she obtains the jade pendant, it will be useless.
Of course, she didn't plan to take a different approach for every mission in the future; the risk was too great. This time, she stumbled upon a better reward, which she attributed to luck.
For An Ge, if the mission's objective contradicts her principles of conduct, she will obviously follow her heart.
