Li Muge thought that You Zhengqing, this perfectly normal young man, must have lost his mind. The way he spoke was too hateful.
"You Zhengqing, we've come this far, and you still haven't repented." Master Fu's face was dark, and the Fu family members were filled with resentment.
Even Li Muge, who protected him, became an enemy in their eyes.
"Isn't that so? Lord Fu, you say I'm guilty, but do you remember how many people died in the Suzhou floods back then because of your misjudgment?"
You Zhengqing raised his eyes and stared straight at Master Fu: "That year, you took your family to Suzhou to take up your post. Suzhou was hit by floods. As the prefect, you still made a mistake."
"Because the people of Suzhou were not evacuated in time, more than a hundred people died in Suzhou during that natural disaster."
"Do you know that among those more than one hundred people, there were my mother, father and younger brother."
"What?" Master Fu's resentment subsided instantly. He had been a ghost for too long, and the only things he remembered most clearly were hatred and the fear of his family being wiped out.
"The Suzhou flood." Master Fu pressed his forehead, as if he had finally remembered: "Yes, but I didn't do it on purpose back then, it was a mistake."
"A mistake, haha, Mr. Fu, your mistake has changed the course of my life. It's better that you're all dead."
“Families can still be together, but what about me? I lost my parents and relatives. Like Fu Shanyue, I’m struggling to survive in this cannibalistic world.”
You Zhengqing hugged Fu Shanyue, and although he couldn't touch her body, he was still reluctant to let go.
Master Fu wanted to explain, but he didn't know how.
When the Fu family learned the reason behind it, their resentment gradually dissipated.
Anyway, You Zhengqing is already dead, so he has paid for his crimes with his life.
“Miss Li.” You Zhengqing closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind: “I am willing to exchange what you told me with you.”
"Really? I knew it! It's good that the young man has come to his senses." Li Muge was afraid that You Zhengqing would change his mind.
He quickly cast a spell, infusing the spirit pearl in his hand with incantations, transforming it into a contract.
"Come on, sign and put your fingerprints on it, and that'll settle things." Li Muge said, pressing the issue while it was hot.
"Wait a minute." You Zhengqing took the contract but didn't sign it. "Miss Li, are you really willing to grant me any wish?"
"Of course." Li Muge fiddled with the ring in her hand, thinking to herself that she wanted You Zhengqing to sign and put his fingerprint on the document quickly.
The recent developments in the Immortal Realm are too strange. Her people have almost turned the Three Realms upside down, but they still haven't found Third Brother.
Although Li Muge had severed all ties with the people of the Immortal Realm, she still couldn't bring herself to ignore Su Xun, her third brother who had always protected her.
“Alright.” You Zhengqing’s grip on the contract tightened. “Miss Li, I wish to turn back time and go back to the past. I am willing to let go of hatred, status, and wealth.”
"If you can resolve the massacre of the Fu family and return Fu Shanyue to the path of her destiny, will you agree?"
You Zhengqing stood up: "Miss Li, as long as you agree, you can take anything you want from me, not just my hair."
"Time travel, but..." Li Muge's expression showed some difficulty: "You Zhengqing, I can help you with time travel."
"But all matters are already ordained by Heaven, and the trajectory of fate cannot be changed, unless... unless..."
"Unless what?" You Zhengqing pressed on impatiently, his hands trembling uncontrollably. No matter what, he was determined to change Fu Shanyue's fate.
"In fact, the Heavenly Dao sets a trajectory for everyone's destiny. Everything is a cycle of cause and effect. The immortals and demons of the Nine Heavens are no exception. It seems that everyone is destined to be unable to escape the arrangements of the Heavenly Dao."
Li Muge pursed her lips: "You Zhengqing, I understand what you mean. It is destined that everyone in the Fu family except Fu Shanyue will die at your hands."
"If you want to change the fate of Fu Shanyue in the anime, firstly, you go back in time and kill Fu Shanyue. Then you'll see, they become earthbound spirits."
Li Muge's voice was light and cheerful: "Don't glare at me, You Zhengqing. I'm just trying to be helpful. Didn't you say yourself that it's actually not bad for the Fu family to become earthbound spirits? At least they can take care of each other."
"At that time, Fu Shanyue was at most an ignorant little girl. She would definitely be happier to die than to live."
"What is another way?"
You Zhengqing spoke hoarsely, "No, I don't want this. I don't want Fu Shanyue to die and live in the shadows forever."
"Hmm, there's another way?" Li Muge looked up at You Zhengqing, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, but she still told him the solution.
“You Zhengqing, there is another way: go back in time and kill your past self.”
"But you need to think this through. If you die in that timeline, you will also pay the price in this timeline. Even if you die, your soul will go to the underworld. According to the laws of the underworld, you will have to stay there for at least three or four hundred years before you can be released."
"Besides, even if you are reincarnated, you won't have the right to be a human again. It's not worth it at all. For a woman, you'd be locked up in the eighteenth level of hell for so long, and you'd have to give up your chance to be reincarnated as a human for countless lifetimes. It's not worth it at all."
Li Muge genuinely wanted to persuade You Zhengqing, as he believed it was an unprofitable deal.
Even the Fu family wanted to speak up and persuade You Zhengqing.
But You Zhengqing seemed to have swallowed a heavy weight, his mind made up. You Zhengqing said calmly, "Miss Li, I can agree to this price."
Then he raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Miss Li, I have never been a good person in my life, nor have I achieved much, but I am willing to do what I can to help my beloved choose the best path."
A wave of sadness washed over Li Muge, and she suddenly felt an urge to cry. It turned out there were quite a few fools in this world.
“But You Zhengqing, you must understand that even if you saved Fu Shanyue at that time, she will never remember you in the rest of her life.”
“I don’t remember well, Miss Li, please do it. In my life, I have done many things that I will never regret, except for Fu Shanyue, which I deeply regret.”
“It’s better if you don’t remember.” You Zhengqing bit his thumb and pressed the blood mark onto the contract. The contract generated exchange conditions, and he handed the letter of the sacrifice contract to Li Limuge.
Half disappointed, she muttered to herself, "Anyway, she doesn't want to see me in the afterlife."
Li Muge received the contract, sighed, and cast a spell. In an instant, an invisible vortex appeared out of thin air in the abandoned open space of the Fu family hall.
You Zhengqing's ghost entered it.
In fact, You Zhengqing's body was not completely dead; he was just in a coma due to poisoning. Otherwise, he wouldn't be like the ghosts of the Fu family, unafraid of sunlight.
