Cang Yuan was genuinely happy for Leng Qingning. With this, the three kingdoms of Qi, Huai, and Jin had been recovered, leaving only the kingdoms of Lin and Li. The unification of the kingdoms was just around the corner.
General Xie drank even more heartily upon hearing this, and pulled General Meng into a graceful dance, which amused everyone.
Xiao Ning's usually indifferent expression softened. Seeing Leng Qingning laugh heartily, a smile also appeared on her lips.
She smiled, and Kong Xuanzi beside her was stunned. He gulped down several mouthfuls of wine, but his eyes never left her...
"Little sister, would you like to stay with your older sister tonight?" Leng Qingning wanted to ask her some questions.
"good."
…………
In the bedroom
Biluo Baiyu helped the two sisters finish washing and dressing.
"You may both leave now," Leng Qingning said, dismissing the two.
"yes."
Xiao Ning noticed something was wrong: "Is something on your mind, sister?"
Leng Qingning pulled Xiao Ning down to sit and said to her, "Little sister, I dreamed about the divine realm the day before we set off, but my memory is incomplete."
"Did Sister also awaken her past life memories?" Xiao Ning asked her.
"also?"
As expected! Xiao Ning knew about it.
Leng Qingning wasn't too surprised. Although Xiao Ning had never told her about her past life, she had a vague idea.
"I only dreamed about part of it, not the whole thing, and there are many things I don't understand."
Xiao Ning nodded. Since her elder sister had dreamt of her past life, she no longer intended to hide it.
"Sister, please ask whatever you want to ask."
"Alright." Leng Qingning straightened her expression and asked, "You came to my aid twice when I was in danger because our fates are linked and you could sense that I was trapped. I've always been puzzled by this. Why is that? And why did we both fall into the wrong star positions? Do you know?"
Xiao Ning frankly admitted, "I did this on purpose."
"What!"
This surprised Leng Qingning.
So he asked Xiao Ning, "When did you regain your memories?"
Xiao Ning stated bluntly: "I have never lost my memory."
"Ah!" Leng Qingning was startled again.
What's going on?
He guessed that Xiao Ning knew the truth and assumed that she, like himself, had awakened her past life memories later, only earlier than him.
To my utter surprise, she knew everything.
"Xiao Ning, I dreamt that my memories of my past life only included the memories of you and me, my sister, from birth to three thousand years old. After you accidentally threw away Cang Lin's inner core, there were none left. What happened after that?"
"Don't worry, sister," Xiao Ning comforted Leng Qingning.
"Sister, what happens next is quite complicated and can't be explained in a short time. I'll pull you into the illusion so you can see for yourself."
After saying that, Xiao Ning raised her hand to cast a spell. The next second, the two of them arrived in an illusionary space. Countless light screens appeared in the air. The moment Xiao Ning closed her eyes, the transparent screens around her began to automatically rewind past fragments, with scenes from her previous life appearing and disappearing.
Leng Qingning felt that this illusion was strangely familiar, making people feel as if they were there, and allowing them to share the thoughts, feelings, and insights of all things.
The old woman who claimed to be the reclusive Heavenly Dao Master also created an illusionary space last time, but it was much larger than the one Xiao Ning created, which was probably determined by their different abilities.
Scenes from past lives resurface...
Consciousness merges into it...
It all started when the heavenly soldiers descended upon the Land of No Return and captured Xiao Ning.
Our minds are connected, and we bear witness together.
Grand Shrine
Xiao Ning was forced to kneel on the ground, and the God Lord was furious.
"Si Xing Huan Ning, Cang Wei accuses you of stealing Cang Lin's inner core, causing his Nirvana to fail and leading to his death. She also accuses you of throwing the inner core into the Howling Abyss to help Qiong Qi break free from its seal. Is this true?"
"No," Xiao Ning denied.
The arrogant woman named Cang Wei, who was kneeling beside her, became anxious and pointed at Xiao Ning: "You're talking nonsense. It was clearly you. I saw it with my own eyes."
The other Cangluan clan members echoed, "Lord God, it's her! We all saw her."
"Silence!" the celestial official roared. "The God Lord did not ask you any questions. To interrupt without permission is insubordination. Come here, each of you will be given a hundred God-Devouring Whips."
The group immediately became quiet, not daring to make a sound even after being beaten.
In an instant, only the voice of the god's interrogation and the sound of whips tearing skin remained in the temple.
"Si Xing Huan Ning, tell me, what exactly happened?"
Xiao Ning raised her head to look at the person in the upper seat and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I didn't steal the inner core. It was Cang Wei and her mother who stole it. I snatched the inner core from them and they chased me to the Howling Abyss. I had no choice but to throw the inner core away."
Upon hearing Xiao Ning admit to throwing away the inner core, Cang Wei and the others were overjoyed and forced a smile.
The deity nearly exploded upon hearing this; it really was his niece who threw it?
In that case, his life would likely be in danger...
If the fact that Qiongqi was released without permission is confirmed, the outcome will undoubtedly be death!
"Why did you participate in the robbery?" The God Lord suppressed his temper and asked Xiao Ning again, to see if there was any room for negotiation.
Xiao Ning said coldly, "Take it if you want."
Upon hearing this, the immortal lords all gasped in unison, and the god lord choked, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
After a long pause, he scolded her, "How dare you!"
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been taken away and beheaded by now.
With a grim face, the God Lord asked the blood-soaked Cang Wei, "Did you steal the inner core?"
Cang Wei bit her lip tightly. She could tell that the God Lord was intentionally favoring Xiao Ning and wanted to reduce her punishment. But she still stubbornly denied it: "It's not Xiao Xian, it's Si Xing Huan Ning."
And you?
The others who had been beaten exchanged a quick glance and also insisted, "The one who stole the inner core was Si Xing Huan Ning."
On this point, both sides hold their own views and refuse to yield.
Finally, the God Lord decreed: "Tomorrow, the Sacred Stone of the Divine Ruins will be tested for authenticity."
Upon hearing that an inspection was required, Cang Wei and the others turned pale. They never expected that the God Lord would be so biased!
Activating the Sacred Stone requires five thousand years of cultivation...
Xiao Ning has already admitted to releasing Qiongqi, so compared to that, the sin of killing the god is much less serious.
In Cang Wei's eyes, Xiao Ning was already dead. Why bother with an examination? What good would finding out the truth do? Would it save her from death?
Any lie can be detected in front of the Divine Ruins Sacred Stone, and once the power of the Sacred Stone is activated, Cang Wei, who has no divine bones, will immediately turn to ashes and vanish into nothingness.
Thinking of this, she cried out in panic, "Lord God, it was my mother who stole the inner core. I had no choice but to frame Si Xing Huan Ning to exonerate my mother. I beg you, Lord God, to see the truth."
Upon hearing this, Cang Wei's mother, Cang Que, looked at her in disbelief: "Daughter, you!"
The sparrow got goosebumps all over its body. Its child, which it had raised for thousands of years, was now turning around and accusing it in order to survive.
All of this was clearly for...
Cang Que shed tears, and after a moment, with red eyes, she knelt on the ground and confessed her sins to the deity, begging the deity to withdraw the decree.
The deity watched their every move and let out a soft sneer through his teeth.
Upon seeing this, the Immortal Lord loudly proclaimed, "The Divine Lord has already given the order; no identification can be changed."
Cang Wei wanted to say something, but with a glance from the God Lord, the Immortal Lord immediately cast a spell to cover her mouth.
They were then taken away along with the others.
