As for the purpose, it was nothing more than to take people hostage, so that the current rulers would hesitate to target Jiuyou.
In their previous lives, the hidden forces of the Nine Netherworlds, scattered throughout the Nine Realms, often did just that.
However, Shen Zhao vaguely felt that Jiu You's purpose in this life was not simple, as there was no trace of Jiu You in the previous nine lives in Chang'an.
By observing the Yaksha's reaction upon seeing himself, and combining this with the unusual actions of the Nine Netherworlds in this life, one can understand the profound meaning behind the story.
After a brief analysis, Shen Zhao immediately came to a conclusion.
Even those from the Nine Netherworlds have reached the summit of the Nine Heavens after their own deaths!
Behind this must be the secret scheme orchestrated by the reborn being, clearing all obstacles for the emergence of the Nine Netherworlds in this lifetime.
"Looks like they're all after me."
Shen Zhao gave a self-deprecating laugh.
It wasn't that he was praising himself, but rather that he genuinely couldn't think of anyone else besides himself who could have beaten Jiuyou to that state.
While pondering, Shen Zhao arrived in front of a flower shop and casually looked up.
The flower shop was filled with a wonderful fragrance, which instantly dispelled the anxiety and fatigue in my body.
"Strange, why is there a flower shop here?"
Filled with curiosity, Shen Zhao stepped into the flower shop.
The interior layout has a natural feel, and every potted plant is neatly trimmed.
Shen Zhao walked up to a rare flower, took a gentle breath, and exclaimed, "I never expected to see the phoenix flower, one of the four rare flowers, here. How wonderful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a very familiar voice rang out from behind him.
"I never imagined that there would be anyone in this world who could recognize the phoenix flower. It seems you are also a connoisseur of flowers."
Shen Zhao frowned and immediately turned around to look.
A young girl dressed in a light blue silk gown, with an embroidered ball hanging from her waist, was carefully trimming a camellia with a pair of scissors in her hand.
"Yu Xiyan?"
Upon seeing the girl, Shen Zhao was taken aback.
How could I possibly see her here?
Thinking of this, Shen Zhao lost all interest in appreciating the flowers and immediately walked out of the flower shop with a cold face.
"The guest has left already? Was I in any way I neglected you?"
Yu Xiyan turned around and looked at Shen Zhao curiously.
Shen Zhao took a deep breath and turned to look at Yu Xiyan: "You're really persistent. Now that you're back in Chang'an, can you please stop causing all this trouble?"
Yu Xiyan asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by that, sir? Please forgive me for not understanding."
Shen Zhao: "Trying to play the amnesia card with me, huh? Yu Xiyan, whatever tricks you're up to, please don't drag me into it, thank you."
After saying that, Shen Zhao turned and left.
"Please wait, guest!"
Yu Xiyan called out to Shen Zhao.
"There's something I need to clarify with the guest: I am not the Yu Xiyan you're referring to."
My surname is Qiao, and my given name is Qiao Zhaorong. I arrived in Chang'an a year ago, and this flower shop has been open here for almost half a year.
The surrounding neighbors can all testify to this.
"Qiao Zhaorong? The young master of Tianhai Yuanhuang Island?"
Now it was Shen Zhao's turn to be shocked, and he couldn't help but carefully examine the girl in front of him.
