Qiao Tianjing ran fast in the darkness, walked far away, and finally stopped in a narrow valley.

Shen Yuanbai stood at the entrance of the valley and did not enter.

Shen Yuanling followed behind with Jiaojiao in his arms, and stopped when he saw this.

Jiaojiao looked around, then raised her hand and patted Shen Yuanling on the shoulder.

"Xiao Si, put me down."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanling leaned over and put Jiaojiao down. He knew that Jiaojiao and Shen Yuanbai had something to say, so he walked straight into the valley.

Jiaojiao simply walked up to Shen Yuanbai and looked up at him.

Shen Yuanbai seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts, and was absent-minded all the way.

Jiaojiao was tired of looking up, so she simply said, "Shen Yuanbai, squat down for a moment, can we talk?"

Shen Yuanbai came back to his senses, lowered his eyes to glance at Jiaojiao, then bent his body and sat on the ground directly in front of Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao was shocked when she saw this!

[Wow, Shen Yuanbai's mysophobia is gone! People really do change! ]

She thought about it and sat down as well.

Before she opened her mouth, Shen Yuanbai said in a deep voice: "I told Xiao Si the truth, and the thunder was forced down, but it refused to strike me. It seems that I haven't reached my limit yet."

Jiaojiao had just witnessed Shen Yuanbai's crazy appearance with her own eyes through the "Immersive Talisman".

She opened her mouth, and besides being thankful that she had given Xiao Si the "Rebound Charm" early on, she could only say from the bottom of her heart:

"Your current mental state is unmatched. So after thinking about it for so long, is the final solution to be killed by it? Shen Yuanbai, once a person dies, there is really nothing left."

Shen Yuanbai's eyebrows drooped slightly when he heard this.

He could tell that Qiao Jiaojiao did not approve of his behavior, but she was very tactful and spoke in a subtle way.

There are some things he would never say to others, but Qiao Jiaojiao is special.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai laughed at himself, "When we parted in Nanli, I left a message. Now I see that you really have not changed your original intention, and around you - there really seem to be more and more "free" people."

"You can be so firm, but Qiao Jiaojiao, I can't. Even I can't always be calm and cautious."

"Xiao Si... I saw myself in Xiao Si. At that moment, I just wanted to give up everything and seek the so-called freedom."

"Oh, now it seems that everything will not go as I wish. It still won't let me go."

Shen Yuanbai seldom spoke so many words, and it was obvious that everything that had just happened had really made him feel very emotional and filled with a lot of feelings.

Jiaojiao was silent for a while after hearing this, and then nodded in agreement.

"You're right. This is probably the first time you've been so impulsive, right? I thought you were going crazy."

Shen Yuanbai: “…”

Seeing that the solemn atmosphere was finally broken, Jiaojiao looked directly at Shen Yuanbai and said frankly: "Although you and I have different paths, you see, nothing is impossible in this world."

"You and I are now sitting on the ground facing each other! How could I have expected that this day would come? Even now when I think about it, I feel my scalp tingling and strangely harmonious."

Shen Yuanbai: “…”

He had a lot of thoughts in his mind just now, but now Qiao Jiaojiao's jokes have scattered all of them...

However, he understood the meaning of Qiao Jiaojiao's words.

She was telling him that although he was now trapped in a dead end, nothing was impossible in the world, and perhaps in the end, he would find a way out...

Seeing that Shen Yuanbai had come to his senses, Jiaojiao stretched out her hands to him and said bluntly, "Where's the gift? I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Shen Yuanbai gathered his thoughts, glanced at Jiaojiao, then reached into his arms and took out a yellowed letter.

Jiaojiao took a glance and suddenly had a guess in her mind, and her breathing became slightly rapid.

“What is this?”

"It's a letter my mother left for me."

The guess in her mind was confirmed, and Jiaojiao suddenly felt uneasy.

She was really curious about Yu Liu. It could be said that Yu Liu was the cause of countless tragedies. She was unscrupulous and completely heartless.

But when she and her elder brother interrogated Aunt Rou for the second time that day, she vaguely felt that Yu Liu had gone through so many twists and turns, and there must be other reasons besides ambition, and the real situation might be more complicated and unbearable than she imagined.

"You are...going to show me this?"

Jiaojiao was still a little bit unbelievable, but Shen Yuanbai had already placed the letter in her palm.

His brows were gloomy, but he did not show any sign of hesitation, as if he had already made the decision.

"My mother's long-cherished wish is for me to destroy the Northern Kingdom." Shen Yuanbai said bluntly.

Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat, she finally got the answer!

[Aunt Rou said that everything Yu Liu did was to allow Shen Yuanbai to unify the two countries and respect the "North", but the ending of the original novel was that Shen Yuanbai annexed the North Kingdom in the name of "Yong"! ]

[It seems that Shen Yuanbai finally followed his mother's wishes. Aunt Rou lied! ]

[Back then, the Northern Kingdom must have done something to offend Yu Liu, and they even put the Soul-Snatching God Gu on Yu Liu.]

[Yu Liu's virginity is lost again...]

Jiaojiao knew the importance of the letter in her hand. Perhaps it contained all the truth, and even Yu Liu’s mental journey!

Jiaojiao was very cautious. Only when she fully understood Shen Yuanbai's intentions could she better decide how to use the letter.

So she looked up at Shen Yuanbai and said in a deep voice:

"Princess Yu Liu is worshipped as a deity by the people of the Northern Kingdom. If you deliver this letter to me and there is any unbearable truth in it, once it is made public, it will definitely shake the hearts of the people of the Northern Kingdom, but your mother's reputation and image will also be ruined."

"I know you must have considered these things. If so, why don't you make it public yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanbai couldn't help but look at Jiaojiao deeply.

"Qiao Jiaojiao, why are you so frank? You have so many superpowers, you can just take this letter and leave."

Jiaojiao exhaled slightly and said seriously, "For those who give me gifts, especially big gifts, I should maintain the most basic courtesy and respect. Isn't this what I should do?"

When Shen Yuanbai heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle. At this moment, the admiration in his eyes was no longer hidden.

"My mother left me a secret plan, and it said: Don't be afraid of her reputation after death."

"At that time, I thought that this was just a trick from my mother to let me use the portrait without hesitation, but after reading this letter, I truly understood my mother's intention."

"I have already told Yinzhu that if I die before fulfilling my mother's last wish, she must spread the truth at all costs."

"I am giving this letter to you now because I am also 'in prison'. With you and Qiao Zhongguo, the truth can spread throughout the North Country at the fastest speed."

When Jiaojiao heard this, she suddenly looked up at Shen Yuanbai.

Now that they have come clean, there is nothing she dares not say.

"Shen Yuanbai, as far as I know, in that predetermined ending, you did annex the Northern Kingdom in the end, but you never made this truth public."

"Tell me, in that ending, did you go against your mother's wishes and protect her reputation after death, or - your mother never told you to do so at all."

As soon as Jiaojiao said this, Shen Yuanbai looked up suddenly.

He knew himself. Even if he had not had his current "awakening", given his personality, he would definitely respect his mother's last wishes.

Then there is only one possibility. According to the established trajectory, his mother never asked him to make public what happened to her in the royal court, but now...

Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai and Jiaojiao looked at each other, and both of them slowly widened their eyes.

An incredible guess came to their minds at the same time.

Perhaps, at the very beginning, before Jiaojiao arrived, Yu Liu had already become the first person to "awaken" in this world!

She mixed her revenge on the Northern Kingdom and her resistance to destiny together, abandoning her conscience and using every possible means. But even so, she never broke free from the framework of the original work until her death.

But in the end, she did her best, she calculated everyone, and left behind various opportunities.

So when Jiaojiao is reincarnated into this world, she will discover so many details and truths that are not written in the original novel.

In the past, Jiaojiao always thought that these were bugs in the original work, but now she suddenly realized:

Perhaps the butterfly effect that occurred in the world of this book began from the moment Yu Liu "awoke"!
