Chapter 173 Reincarnation

"Have you ever thought about this? There is no such thing as reincarnation in this world, but why did Yan Zhong, who was clearly dead, reincarnate as Han Zhong?"

“…”

These words made Jiang Wu and Han Zhong both stunned.

This was actually the first time Han Zhong knew about this. After he was told that he might be the reincarnation of Yan Zhong, the Emperor Zhaowu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had almost accepted the concept of reincarnation in this world. But at this moment he was told that there had never been any reincarnation in this world.

He looked at Jiang Wu's back, but found that he was just silent, which meant that the other party had known about this matter for a long time but had never mentioned it or explored it.

He suddenly felt a little uneasy, and that uneasiness turned into panic after hearing the "girl's" next words.

"You have been pursuing the goal of ascending to heaven for your entire life, serving Yan Zhong loyally and guarding the Great Zhou for more than two hundred years. Have you never thought about what the so-called Red Dust Ascension actually means?"

"It is immortal and invincible--"

“It’s reincarnation.”

The girl's dark eyes were filled with a thick mist and a strange smile. "You taught Yan Zhong all the three thousand spells in the Siming Baolu without reservation, but he never told you the real secret of ascension. Instead, he faked his death and asked you to guard the Great Zhou for him, waiting for him to reincarnate and return to continue his dream of becoming an emperor for thousands of years—"

"He's been lying to you the whole time."

“…”

No, it's not!

Han Zhong looked at Jiang Wu's silent back and wanted to tell him that it was not like that. Yan Zhong would never treat you like that, and neither would I. However, when he stood up, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

He looked down and saw that the knife wound on his heart had stopped bleeding at some point, and the vicious wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, even faster than the speed at which Jiang Wu had healed him with magic when he was at Qin's house.

He looked in disbelief as the last knuckle-sized wound on his chest turned over and healed as if it were new, and a chill ran down his spine.

…

When Qin Shu drove to the Qingshui Bay villa, he also saw the scarlet red clouds in the sky above his head. From a distance, they looked like sunset glow, but when he looked closely, he found that those red clouds gathered together were not sunset glow at all, but a huge circular vortex, like blood stirred in a pool of blood. The head of the vortex at the bottom was facing the Qin family villa, exuding an unknown smell.

"Why is it so sudden today? Is your dad going to die?" Qi Hang, the co-pilot, mocked absentmindedly, "Don't go in and find out that your dad has passed the throne to your sister on his birthday."

"She's out of her mind."

Qin Shu said coldly, then opened the car door, walked to the door of the villa and pressed the doorbell, but there was no response for a long time.

Qi Hang also got out of the car when he saw this, "Is your sister really going to abdicate?"

Qin Shu was also anxious. Hearing his friend say some mean things, he couldn't help but retort, "Are you acting like your mother?"

They played together when they were abroad. Qi Hang didn't care. He thought that the Zhou family was not his originally. If his mother really wanted to win it, he would be the one to benefit. If he couldn't win it, he would just pretend nothing happened. Unlike you, Qin Shu, a biological child, who was thrown abroad by your own sister and treated like an outsider.

No one came to open the door for a long time. Qin Shu became anxious. A bunch of scenes of forcing abdication from TV dramas popped up in his mind. He took Qi Hang and climbed over the wall of the back garden.

The huge garden was deserted, and with the red clouds hanging overhead, the garden looked gloomy. The cold winter wind made it even more eerie. Qin Shu became inexplicably anxious, as if there was a ball of anger in his heart, and he even felt annoyed when he saw the bare trees around him.

Qi Hang on the side was also a little annoyed. He suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Jiang Wu inexplicably broke into the Zhou family's old house, then flew to the roof in front of him and a group of security guards, and finally stepped on a tile and knocked him unconscious.

When he woke up, he was already in the hospital. Although there was no serious problem, he was still kept in the hospital for a week for observation. During this time, he called Bo Yuan to visit him, but before he could finish his sentence, the other party said that the signal was bad and hung up.

What's even more infuriating is that he later found out that Jiang Wu was actually released safely by Zhou Changming. He also didn't want to talk about his cousin Zhou Changyi, but the first thing she asked him when she saw him after waking up was to ask for Jiang Wu's WeChat.

Didn't his mother just rely on his good looks to steal his woman, hit him on the head, and even seduced his cousin? He's a complete gigolo. Sooner or later, he will kill him and make him disappear from Linhai forever.

The two walked for a while with gloomy faces but didn't see anyone. Qin Shu suddenly shouted impatiently, "Qin Yuyan! Get out of here!"

Qi Hang's eardrums hurt from the sudden shout, and he turned around and punched Qin Shu in the face.

"You're calling your mother! My ears are deafened!"

"How dare you hit me!"

"What if I hit you?"

"Hold!"

Not far away, Qin Yuyan, who was trapped in an endless corridor, suddenly heard her stepbrother shouting and immediately looked up to the window.

"Hmm? Tired?" Rong Anzhou, who was banging on the wall of the corridor, took the time to glance at her. When he saw her looking out the window, he realized that the crow outside the window was gone.

Qin Yuyan ignored him and just stared at the window calmly, as if thinking about something.

Rong Anzhou was just about to ask her what was wrong with her, but the next second he saw her suddenly climb up to the window and was about to jump down. His pupils trembled, and he rushed up as fast as he could and pulled her back by the waist.

"Are you sick?!" Rong Anzhou scolded the other party without waiting for him to speak, "I'm just trying to find a solution, why are you so crazy!"

Qin Yuyan pushed away his hand that was on her waist and looked out the window. "Since this corridor is so unreasonable, then the exit should also be unreasonable."

Rong Anzhou understood that this woman felt that the exit was outside the window.

"Aren't you crazy? The corridor exit and the window are not together, how can it be an exit?"

"Spatial dimensions have the potential to be folded."

“I don’t understand.”

“…This is high school physics.”

Rong Anzhou met her cold eyes, not feeling ashamed at all, "I joined the army because I couldn't learn in high school, so of course I don't understand."

Qin Yuyan: "..."

She was too lazy to talk to this guy with well-developed limbs but a simple brain, so she bent down and tore open the outside of her expensive slim skirt, revealing a piece of her white and delicate thigh skin. She then tied up her hair and took off her high heels.

Rong Anzhou took a step back subconsciously and asked warily, "...What are you doing?"

"Jump down." Qin Yuyan climbed up to the windowsill on one knee. "We'll know if it works if we try."

Rong Anzhou moved his mouth, then reached out and picked the man up and put him behind him. Qin Yuyan thought he still didn't believe it, and was about to speak when he saw Rong Anzhou nimbly jump up by holding on to the windowsill.

"I'll do it."

“I have professional bungee jumping and rock climbing certifications.”

Rong Anzhou looked at the strong-willed woman behind him speechlessly, "I don't look down on you, I just think I can do this."

Qin Yuyan didn't object when he heard this. He raised his chin and said, "Jump."

Rong Anzhou looked at her cold face and tone and always felt that she was treating him like a dog.

In his heart, he was worried about Han Zhong, so he didn't think much and jumped down. He thought there would be a long buffer, but in just a second, his feet touched the solid ground.

The scene before his eyes changed drastically. The grass he saw from the window disappeared. He was now standing in a spacious garden. The flowers, plants and trees were strangely withered. There was no sign of life, except for the two adult men fighting each other opposite him.

He was about to look up and call Qin Yuyan, when the next second he saw a slender figure appear out of nowhere above him. He subconsciously stretched out his hands to catch the person, and held her in his arms. It was indeed Qin Yuyan.

He was a little speechless, "You are really brave."

Qin Yuyan jumped down from his arms. To her, Rong Anzhou was not a trustworthy person and might just abandon her and leave. So when she saw that he disappeared a second after he jumped down, she was sure that her guess was correct and she simply jumped down. Unexpectedly, this man was not gone yet.

She also caught a glimpse of the strange changes in the surrounding gardens, as well as her stepbrother who was scuffling with someone else, and took out her cell phone to call the security captain and ask them to come over.

Rong Anzhou also called Han Zhong, but he didn't answer the phone. He felt more and more uneasy. He turned to look at Qin Yuyan with a colder expression, "Where's my brother?"

Qin Yuyan's expression was not looking good either. Xiao Fei told her that someone broke into the villa ten minutes ago and directly destroyed the alarm system and the entire collection room, and Han Zhong and her father were inside.

She ignored Rong Anzhou and hurried over there while instructing Xiao Fei to take people to the collection room.

Rong Anzhou cursed softly and followed immediately.
