However, the time tunnel only stopped when Xu Zhi was tricked into entering the palace; it was impossible to go any further.
Ahri knew that it was the world's consciousness that was stopping her.
Some things are destined; once they happen, they cannot be changed.
Ah Li didn't insist, and she stepped out of the time tunnel with Xu Zhi in her arms.
In a dimly lit room, teenager Xu Zhi was tied to a large bed.
Someone asked him, "Do you regret it?"
However, he was in a daze and couldn't answer at all.
Ahri snapped her fingers, and time stood still.
At this moment, Xu Zhi, whom Ah Li brought, had already become ethereal, because there can only be one Xu Zhi at any given time.
With a wave of her hand, Ah Li merged the future Xu Zhi with the teenage Xu Zhi.
With another snap of her fingers, Ahri threw a 'sleight of hand' at the teenage Xu Zhi, capable of concealing everything she wanted to hide.
In the dimly lit room, after screaming in pain, the teenage Xu Zhi was helped by two people to walk slowly around the room.
The old eunuch holding the knife stared blankly at the tip of the blade. Had he just made a cut?
But why does he have no recollection of it at all?
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Ah Li never showed herself; she just watched as the teenage Xu Zhi woke up and remained lying in bed.
From a look of utter despair to being enveloped in extreme hatred.
However, this time, with another Xu Zhi's memories, the path he has to take will not be as difficult as the first time.
The time tunnel opened again, and Ah Li reached out and touched the back of Xu Zhi's neck, causing Xu Zhi to faint.
Ah Li leaned close to his ear and said, "Xu Zhi, we should go back."
After the time tunnel brought Ah Li and Xu Zhi back, Ah Li carefully placed the unconscious Xu Zhi behind the desk, and then climbed out the window again.
Ah Li stood outside the door again and shouted loudly, "Xu Zhi! If you don't open the door, I'm leaving!"
"You'll regret this!"
The guard standing by thought to himself, "Didn't we just go in?"
Xu Zhi slowly woke up, only vaguely hearing a few words. He rubbed his temples, as if he had dreamt of the past.
Hearing the noise inside, Ah Li knew Xu Zhi was awake, so she continued, "Xu Zhi! If you don't open the door, I'm really leaving!"
Xu Zhi lowered his hand; he definitely wouldn't open the door.
However, when there was no movement outside the door, he became anxious instead.
They're leaving already?
Xu Zhi stood up, walked to the door, and listened to the sounds outside. Apart from the sound of the wind, there was really no one there.
He pulled open the door, looked around at the quiet surroundings, and said, "It's good that they're gone."
He didn't want to force her to stay by his side. She had her own place where she had lived since childhood. If she stayed with him, she might suddenly develop resentment, resenting him for leaving her there and hating him for not letting her return to Jin as a princess.
In that case, it will be the two of them who suffer.
After Ah Li returned, she thought she should take a nap first.
Opening a time tunnel is also very tiring.
However, she sensed the presence of other people in the room.
Before Ahri could react, she noticed someone appearing behind her.
Ahri turned around and slashed out with her palm.
The woman was very surprised and said, "You are not the seventeenth princess."
The real seventeenth princess of Jin was completely ignorant of martial arts; she was just a weak woman.
Ahri narrowed her eyes and pulled a dagger from her waist. After her identity was exposed, the best way was to kill those who knew the truth.
Therefore, Ahri was quick, accurate, and ruthless, and directly killed the person.
After killing the person, Ahri pulled down the person's mask. She didn't recognize her; she was a female assassin.
So what should we do with this corpse?
Ah Li stroked her chin. Xu Zhi probably still thought he was a person with incomplete six senses. Should she pretend to die?
Perhaps only after truly losing it will Xu Zhi feel deep regret, just like Qin Ke.
The original owner used to chase after him, but now that he regrets it, he's eagerly running back to him.
Ahri quickly transformed the female assassin on the ground into her likeness, and she in turn transformed into the female assassin's likeness.
Ahri also wanted to know who would want to kill her at this moment, so she overturned the candlestick.
After the fallen candlestick caught fire on the table, Ah Li covered her face with a veil and left the East Depot without making a sound.
This also shows that the assassin had an inside agent within the Eastern Depot, otherwise why would there be no patrolling guards here at this time?
As for the bodyguards Xu Zhi left by Ah Li's side, they were just assigned new tasks by Xu Zhi.
Because Ahri kept shouting like that outside his door, it was really inappropriate for outsiders to see it.
When the guard returned, he saw the fire in Ah Li's room and immediately sent someone to inform Xu Zhi.
At the same time, he didn't dare to delay and went straight in to rescue the people.
The first thing the guard noticed upon entering the room was a person lying on the floor.
The girl died?
The guard rushed over and checked her breathing; she was no longer breathing!
The fire was small and was quickly extinguished.
Xu Zhi also arrived quickly, but when he saw the person lying on the ground covered with a white sheet, he closed his eyes and took a long time to walk over.
Just a short while ago, they were knocking on my door and asking me to open it.
It wasn't you, was it?
Everyone around him kept their heads down, and no one dared to look at Xu Zhi.
Xu Zhi knelt on one knee, pulled down the white cloth with one hand, and when he saw the face under the white cloth, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He quickly wiped it away with the back of his hand, and then looked at the pale-faced 'Ali'.
