Tang Si and Shen Jue were stunned by Jiang Si's words.
Shen Jue, in particular, was still wearing that expression on his face. Hearing Jiang Si's words, he wanted to go down but couldn't.
What are you saying?
Shen Jue's tone was sinister and deep, "Don't even think you can get rid of it like this!"
Even though the escape corridor was surrounded by walls, a chilling wind was blowing.
This building is where Shen Jue is guarded; he fears nothing.
Jiang Si and Xie Wuyi were blinded by the wind. A gust of wind blew into Xie Wuyi's mouth, which he spat out. "That brat, why won't he listen to reason?"
When we speak to you politely, can you at least show us some respect?
As a cold wind rose, the walls inside the building seemed to press forward as if they were consciously trying to move.
Jiang Si and Xie Wu each pressed one hand against the wall.
Shen Jue felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
He had to be careful in dealing with the two people in front of him.
"Who are you people?" Shen Jue said, "This is a love-hate relationship between Xia Zhelan and me, and it's none of your business."
“First of all, you need to understand that I’m not interfering in your relationship with Xia Zhelan, but rather in your relationship with Tang Si,” Jiang Si said. “Tang Si is not Xia Zhelan; you’ve got the wrong person.”
"Impossible!" Shen Jue exclaimed in disbelief, "He clearly carries Xiao Lan's scent."
"I won't admit my mistake."
Xie Wuyi was a little helpless. "I've already said no, why don't you believe me?"
"The real Xia Zhelan is still waiting for you, you know that?"
“I know you have a deep-seated obsession. You died in the fire, but you never got to see Xia Zhelan,” Jiang Si said. “Is it possible that Xia Zhelan couldn’t come?”
"That night, you died in the fire, and Xia Zhelan also drowned."
"She became a bound spirit just like you, and she is in Mingze Lake, a few hundred meters away from you." Thinking of this, Jiang Si felt a little regretful. A pair of lovers, because of their obsessions, have been separated by distance for decades.
"As for Tang Si having Xia Zhelan's aura, it's simple: she's related to the Xia family by blood." Tang Si is a descendant of Xia Zhelan's maternal lineage.
Shen Jue had been waiting for Xia Zhelan for so long that he would assume it was her as soon as he heard even the slightest breath.
Due to the war at the time, the descendants of the Xia family had already moved away.
Tang Si's trip here was just for tourism. She happened to stay at this hotel and was then entangled with Shen Jue.
However, Tang Si's soul leaving her body has little to do with Shen Jue.
Tang Si must have suffered a sudden heart attack at that time.
In fact, if it weren't for Chen Jue, Tang Si might really be dead.
Ultimately, he was just gambling on a possibility.
If Tang Si is truly dead, then I will be at peace as his ghost wife.
However, Shen Jue did not expect Jiang Si to appear out of nowhere.
But now Jiang Si says that everything he did was wrong, and that he was never that person from beginning to end.
"How can I trust you?" Shen Jue asked, standing at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
His appearance also changed; he no longer frightened people with his charred look, but became the noble young man from the Republic of China era.
“We have no reason to lie to you,” Xie Wuyi said.
The person before us died for a noble cause, and has not harmed anyone in all these years. Such a person cannot be dealt with by force by those who cultivate the Tao.
We can only proceed gradually.
“This Master Jiang and I are both Celestial Masters of our generation. After all these years, you should understand that no one can accept you, and no one will accept you.”
"How could we dare to do what someone as righteous as you do?"
"Believe it or not, just come with us to Mingze Lake." Xie Wuyi said with a smile, "You have an obsession, but we also know that your consciousness has long since extended beyond this hotel. If you wanted, covering several kilometers in radius would be no problem, but you have never taken a single step outside of this area in all these years. Are you afraid?"
Xie Wuyi revealed his trump cards one by one.
We're all smart people; there's no need for so many complicated schemes.
Shen Jue stood there in deep thought for a long time before finally agreeing to their request.
Mingze Lake is the largest scenic lake in the city.
Everyone who comes here will take a picture there.
It's peak tourist season here now, and a thick layer of ice has formed on the surface of Mingze Lake, where many tourists are enjoying ice activities.
It is said that over the years, there has never been a single drowning accident at Mingze Lake.
When Jiang Si and her group arrived, it was nearly noon, and the place was bustling with activity.
Jiang Si walked down to the lake and, together with Xia Zhelan, watched the lively crowd not far away from a spot near the wall.
"Does looking at them make you stop regretting your choice?"
Xia Zhelan has been in this lake for so many years, and no one can see her.
She wasn't surprised to see someone approaching her, but Jiang Si's words surprised her. Why did it sound like this person was talking to her?
Xia Zhelan turned her head.
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Miss Xia, thank you for your perseverance and dedication back then. The prosperous China we have today would not have been possible without you."
"You..." Xia Zhelan was so shocked she couldn't speak, "You can see me?"
“I can not only see you, but I can also take you to see Chen Jue.” Jiang Si smiled gently.
Xia Zhelan froze upon hearing the name Shen Jue.
Just then, Xia Zhelan sensed a familiar presence—it was Shen Jue.
She quickly looked around, "Mr. Shen, is that you? Mr. Shen?"
The aura of Shenjue can reach this place, but people cannot.
Jiang Si grabbed her arm. "I'll take you there."
Xia Zhelan is easier to deal with than Shen Jue. She is only obsessed with this, and she can leave once the obsession is gone. Of course, even if the obsession is still there, Jiang Si has a way to deal with it.
Jiang Si brought Xia Zhelan to the hotel.
As soon as Xia Zhelan entered the hotel, she felt as if the whole world had changed.
The hotel was still bustling with people, and the long-awaited awakening she had been waiting for was just ahead of her.
"Shen Shengxian, I'm here." Xia Zhelan stood there, smiling, but with tears in her eyes.
“Miss Xia, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Shen Jue opened his arms.
Xia Zhelan ran over, and the two embraced tightly.
Tang Si was crying her eyes out.
"Waaah, this is so touching! I never imagined there was such a love story." Tang Si sobbed. "Master Jiang, are you saying Miss Xia is from my mother's side?"
"Well, you could barely be considered to have any connection."
The five degrees of mourning have been mentioned, which is really hard to explain.
Jiang Si had a headache when it came to family relationships.
Ye Wenlong looked ahead in the direction Jiang Si was pointing, but there was no one there.
So, what exactly is this relieved smile for?
Surely it's impossible that Grandma Jiang Si thinks the hotel's decor is really great, right? It seems impossible. The only possibility is that there's something there that she can't see.
Ye Wenlong decided not to be curious.
Perhaps Jiang Si has already solved it.
It probably won't be that quick to express their feelings, so Jiang Si and Xie Wuyi sat down at the bar.
After we ordered, the person at the counter waved their hand and said, "Someone has already paid for your bill."
