The burly man was surprised that Fu Yunchen would agree so readily. He picked up the silver pouch, weighed it in his hand, and finally grinned, "I've struck it rich!"
Fu Yunchen: "..."
"Hehe~ Good sir, take your time. If anyone stops you fifty miles ahead, just say you're a friend of Tiger."
Fu Yunchen continued driving the carriage.
Mu Run was surprised that Fu Yunchen actually took out money. She came out of the carriage and said, "You really gave him money?"
“If Qiao Dongzi were here, he might take him in, but I’m too lazy to bother.” Fu Yunchen looked at her.
"Speaking of which, isn't Qiao Dongzi always inseparable from you? Where is he now?"
"I went to the Northern Jin imperial palace. Emperor Guangwu had passed away."
"What? Emperor Guangwu is dead? That can't be right."
"The one sitting on the throne now is a fake, according to Bao Chan."
“Baochan… uh, she’s one of yours?” Mu Run was genuinely surprised.
"If Huang Cheng Si can turn my people against me, I can naturally turn them against me as well. It's just that after Bao Chan pledged allegiance to me, I never used her. On the surface, she has always served Huang Cheng Si."
"Impressive! You guys kept this well hidden." Mu Run recalled Bao Chan... Suddenly, more images appeared in Hua Ling's memory.
It was a conversation between Hua Ling and Bao Chan: "Kill me, or I will tell the Director of the Imperial Censorate about your betrayal."
Baochan frowned, "If you don't want to live, just commit suicide. Why do I have to do it?"
Hua Ling said expressionlessly, "Because people who commit suicide will be reborn as animals. I still want to be a human."
"You want to be reincarnated as a human, yet you've committed so many acts of killing. I think you just don't want to live anymore. Whether you're reincarnated as a human or an animal, it's all just an excuse."
"So, are you going to do it or not?"
Bao Chan shrugged. "Fine, my hands aren't clean anyway, so I'll grant your wish."
They pushed the flower bells into the water one by one...
Seeing that she was in a daze, Fu Yunchen asked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Run replied, "I recall a memory from Hua Ling. It turns out she already knew Bao Chan was yours."
Fu Yunchen looked at her, "You don't know all of Hua Ling's memories?"
Mu Run shook his head. "It's impossible to know everything. After all, I was born into their bodies after they died. And after a person dies, the life force in all parts of the body rapidly disappears, including memories. What I know are the memories that were important to the original owner, and they can only surface when stimulated by related information."
"Will you be reborn every time you die?" Fu Yunchen asked, his eyes very serious.
Mu Run shook her head. "No."
"My first time was inside Xinlian's body. Later, when I entered Hualing's body, it was Chabao who helped me. If it weren't for Chabao, I might have really died on Fengwu Mountain. I don't know how Chabao is now, whether he has killed the evil beast and reclaimed his guardian mountain."
Do you want to go find it?
“Yes, I do think about it. Actually, my children and I almost went with Cha Bao to his guardian mountain. But he still put us in Death Valley because he said that his guardian mountain was deserted and not suitable for my children and me to survive.”
"Death Valley is deserted; it's just an excuse."
"...That's true. Then why didn't it take us with it?"
“If I take you away, I might really die in Death Valley.” Fu Yunchen stared at the distant void. “It is, after all, a god. Perhaps it saw something but cannot tell you directly.”
