Xi Yao's mind worked quickly, and she nodded in agreement.

"I was indeed chosen by the system and came to this world with a mission."

The system detected an anomaly in Xie Changkong of this world. His martial arts skills have exceeded the limits of this world, which is very dangerous. The system has instructed me to correct my trajectory.

"Mother, what exactly did you give him to make him so strong, that the system would go so far as to bring more mission takers into the small world?"

[Haha, host, you lie without even blinking, spouting complete nonsense with a straight face.]

996 forgot his earlier threat and couldn't help but laugh again.

Xi Yao ignored it, her gaze fixed on Lin Wantang.

She'll definitely spill the beans today.

"Just as I expected!"

Lin Wantang did not answer Xi Yao's question, but kept muttering to herself.

From the very beginning, she suspected that Xi Yao's time travel was for a mission.

During this period, she desperately tried to win people over and inquired about Xie Changkong's whereabouts everywhere. Her appearance was so similar to that of her back then.

Seeing her absent-minded expression, Xi Yao didn't urge her, but waited for her to calm down on her own.

A long time passed.

Lin Wantang suddenly laughed, but as she laughed, tears streamed down her face.

"Ha, how ridiculous... I've lived most of my life surrounded by lies."

The sorrow in her voice was so intense that Xi Yao was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.

Perhaps from the very beginning, Xie Changkong approached her with a purpose.

After a long while, Lin Wantang raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and looked up at Xi Yao.

Whether Yunqi is my biological son or not doesn't really change anything. In the end, I raised him myself, so he's no different from my own son.

Therefore, even upon hearing such earth-shattering news, she was not greatly shaken.

At least, compared to discovering that one's entire life has been entangled in lies, nothing else matters.

Xi Yao's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back in the end.

"Are you wondering why I trusted you so much?"

Lin Wantang gave a bitter smile, her gaze passing over Xi Yao and landing on the withered leaves swirling outside the window.

"Because I know the system doesn't lie, and you have no reason to lie to me."

Her tone was so calm it was almost hollow, which made Xi Yao feel a little sore.

But there was nothing she could do; the past could not be changed.

The most important thing now is to understand what happened back then, see if we can find any flaws in Xie Changkong's character, and make more plans for the future.

Even though there were grenades in the space, Xi Yao still had a bad feeling.

I always felt that Xie Changkong wasn't so easy to deal with.

Moreover, Xie Changkong is her biggest obstacle.

Therefore, suppressing her inner reluctance and sigh, Xi Yao still asked the final question:

"Mother, can you tell me what exactly happened back then? How did you, after you traveled through time, manage to bring Xie Changkong to his current position?"

Lin Wantang stared at the withered leaves outside the window, her gaze seemingly traveling through time, returning to a dusk long ago.

"My time travel back then was also due to a system. It told me to win over Xie Changkong. As long as I made Xie Changkong fall in love with me and helped him build a top-tier martial arts force, I could return to the real world..."

At that time, Lin Wantang was filled with excitement at having traveled through time.

These days, who hasn't read a few time-travel novels?

Who hasn't fantasized about transmigrating with a system?

They felt that as modern elites who possessed the culture and knowledge accumulated by their ancestors over thousands of years, they would have been perfectly suited to live in ancient times.

Therefore, when Lin Wantang learned that she had transmigrated and had a system, she agreed to complete the mission without hesitation.

Following the route indicated by the system, she pretended to encounter Xie Changkong by chance.

At the beginning, Lin Wantang was full of confidence and enthusiasm to complete the task.

Especially when she heard the system repeatedly announcing Xie Changkong's affection for her and heard the rapid increase in the task completion rate, her confidence truly swelled.

The fact that she could make a handsome and considerate man like Xie Changkong fall in love with her made her feel that she was indeed a transmigrator and could do anything in this world.

The system will award points and silver coins for each completed stage of the task.

Points can be used to buy many things in the system shop, while silver can be used in this world.

In the journey of the two, injuries were inevitable.

Lin Wantang always had excellent medicine available. No matter how deep the internal injury or how severe the external injury, one pill would cure it in one or two days.

Being able to pull someone back from the brink of death is practically like snatching a life from the jaws of death.

Those are pills that even the world's most skilled healers cannot produce.

Xie Changkong isn't stupid; how could he not notice something so obvious?

However, he is a cunning person and would never proactively reveal things that benefit him personally.

Later, through her daily efforts to win Xie Changkong's heart, Lin Wantang fell in love with him.

To help Xie Changkong, she really stopped pretending and brought out all sorts of good things.

He couldn't bear to use all the points he had accumulated, and in the end, he exchanged them for a top-grade martial arts manual and gave it to Xie Changkong.

Then he took out all the silver he had accumulated from the missions.

This is the origin of the silver used to build Feixue Mountain Villa.

Xie Changkong was very smart; he didn't ask any questions and unconditionally trusted Lin Wantang.

Being blinded by love is a terrible thing.

Especially women.

In that instant, I wanted to present him with the best things in the world.

Even the deepest secrets hidden in one's heart are no longer secrets.

Lin Wantang couldn't help but take the initiative to tell him about the system and her mission.

Of course, due to system limitations, she couldn't say it explicitly.

Although it was vague, Xie Changkong was such a smart person.

Later, Lin Wantang seemed to be possessed, falling hopelessly in love with Xie Changkong.

The mission was finally completed, and the system brought her back to the modern world as promised.

Unfortunately, Lin Wantang refused.

She had truly fallen in love with Xie Changkong, and she had thought he would give up everything, including returning to the modern world.

Later, he even took a sword for Xie Changkong to save him, losing all the martial arts skills he was so proud of and becoming a cripple.

Even so, she never regretted it.

"I really don't regret it at all, but I didn't expect him to change his mind so quickly."

Lin Wantang's eyes were red and glistening with tears.

"In just a few years, he brought other women into Flying Snow Manor and completely forgot our vows."

Thinking that Xie Yunqi was Shen Miaoyin's child, Lin Wantang couldn't help but mock herself again:

"Perhaps it wasn't that he changed his mind too quickly, but that he was acting from the very beginning."

All she wanted was what she had.

How ridiculous.

She gave up everything for him, and he turned around and stabbed her in the heart twice.

"But Mother, since he's not acting anymore, and can simply bring Shen Miaoyin back to the manor, why insist on putting Xie Yunqi under your name?"

Because of this incident, I have been manipulated by Lin Zhong for so many years.
