"Who goes there!"
Upon hearing the sound of the zither, Xu Fengqing decisively turned around and looked.
But then they saw Jiang Qingluan sitting quietly at the table, her jade-like fingers lightly plucking the strings of the zither.
"Little clay figure? Is that really you? You've finally come to find me!"
Xu Fengqing stared wide-eyed at Jiang Qingluan in disbelief.
At this moment, his heart was filled with boundless joy and excitement.
It was as if time had stopped flowing, and the whole world consisted of only the two of them.
Xu Fengqing tried hard to suppress the pain in her body and attempted to take a step closer to Jiang Qingluan, but each step seemed so difficult.
However, his longing for her drove him forward, even if it meant enduring more pain.
"I knew it. You can't live without me. Come back, come back to my side. You are still my Jiang Ni, still my Princess of Western Shu."
The piano music stopped abruptly.
Jiang Qingluan raised her eyes and gazed quietly at Xu Fengqing.
But there was no warmth in her eyes like that of a long-lost lover reuniting; all that remained was a deep-seated hatred.
"Xu Fengqing, the feud between the Jiang family and the Xu family will be settled today!"
With a light touch of her jade-like fingers on the strings, the sound waves instantly halted Xu Fengqing's steps.
"Why...?"
"Stop pretending. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
Jiang Qingluan looked at Xu Fengqing with a cold expression and eyes full of pity.
"You have only one purpose in coming to me: to lift the curse I placed deep within the souls of your Xu family and to bury me in your Xu family's ancestral tomb, right?"
Xu Fengqing was startled: "You, how did you know?"
"Hmph, you're still the same. Fifteen hundred years have passed, and you still haven't realized your mistakes. You take everything others do for you for granted."
You can always find excuses to convince yourself that the harm you inflict on others is fate, that you've done nothing wrong, and that it's always someone else who's at fault.
This is the true nature of your Xu family!
Xu Fengqing clenched her fist: "Little clay figure, you have no right to say that. In my life, I have indeed let down countless women."
But for you alone, my feelings were genuine. You should have seen that book by now; we ended up together, a happy ending with our families reunited.
Doesn't this prove my feelings for you? Killing your entire clan was a matter of our ancestors; why impose it on me? This is so unfair.
"Yes, it's easy to casually shift all the blame onto the previous generation, and then find a suitable excuse to absolve oneself of one's actions."
Xu Fengqing, you haven't changed at all. You will never reflect on the mistakes you and your family have made.
Just like your father, Xu Xiao, he's nothing but a selfish and petty person.
Of course, you're not as good as your father. At least your father paid a huge price for you several times.
But you, you only ever see yourself.
"Enough!"
As if her thoughts had been exposed, Xu Fengqing suddenly broke down and shouted.
"I paid a huge price to find you. Now that you're back, you're not leaving. Come with me!"
After Xu Fengqing finished speaking, he launched an attack on Jiang Qingluan.
"Six-Tone String Master - Conquest!"
As soon as the zither music started, a sharp gust of wind swept directly across Xu Fengqing's body.
"Well……"
With a groan, Xu Fengqing staggered back three steps, spitting out crimson blood.
"I almost forgot, you are now the Jade Pool Empress recognized by the Heavenly Ranking."
Xu Fengqing wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"But do you think I don't have a backup plan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and rushed towards Dong Zhongying.
But at that moment, a faint sword aura forced him back.
Shen Zhao, disguised as Ren Piaomiao, appeared before Xu Fengqing with his sword drawn.
"Who are you?"
"The person who turned Western Shu upside down."
"Ren Piaomiao?"
"Yes."
With the spirit sword on his back, Shen Zhao turned to the side and spoke slowly.
"Xu Fengqing, whether you call yourself the King of Xiliang or the Prince of Bashu, it's all the same person from beginning to end, isn't it?"
"Um?"
Xu Fengqing frowned, and then heard Shen Zhao continue speaking.
"From Xu Xiao onwards, starting with Xu Fengqing, and continuing through all generations of the Xu family, all the Shu Kings were you, Xu Fengqing."
As for the reason, it should be closely related to the evil power within you, which allows your soul to continuously inhabit the bodies of your descendants.
In this way, one can achieve immortality in another sense. Am I right?
Xu Fengqing clenched her fists tightly.
"As for Dong Zhongying, that's even easier to explain. It was just a smokescreen concocted by you, Xu Fengqing."
The purpose was to deceive everyone and smoothly control the situation in Xiliang. The so-called King of Xiliang in name only was an imposter, and you were the one in charge.
After all, if you can have someone repeatedly impersonate you, why wouldn't you take advantage of the even higher status of the King of Xiliang?
"How did you find out?"
"Because you've revealed far too much information. First, you're only fifty years old this year, and due to the curse of Sichuan and Chongqing, you're destined not to live past a hundred."
His cultivation level was already at the sixth rank of the Great Emperor, which was highly unusual.
It's likely that he relied on the method of possessing a soul granted by Xie Ran to preserve the cultivation of his predecessor and pass it on to the next generation.
It was through this accumulation of knowledge and experience that he achieved the bearing of an emperor today.
Secondly, in fact, you have already infiltrated the Sichuan and Western Liang regions, as well as the internal forces within Huayang.
Changing dynasties is as simple as saying a word to you, but you've remained silent, likely because the curse upon you cannot be lifted.
Third, on my first day in Huayang City, I witnessed the two sons of the Xu family arbitrarily disposing of Xiliang soldiers.
