Sure enough, her next sentence gave you a clue as to how the story would end.

"I've fallen in love with a man."

A bitter smile appeared on Jiang Xueci's face, her eyes filled with even deeper pain.

"I never knew Gu Wudao would be so domineering. He not only crippled my cultivation but also nearly slaughtered the entire sect leader's lineage."

"He actually let you go?"

You couldn't resist and chimed in.

"Let them go?"

Jiang Xueci gave a bitter smile, her voice filled with sorrow.

"He wants me to spend the rest of my life repenting in this hall. If I leave even a step, all the remaining members of the Jiang family will be immediately slaughtered."

You couldn't help but nod inwardly; this was more like Gu Wudao's style.

[But one thing is certain: it's highly unlikely to be a time traveler. After all, eliminating all threats is common sense; such behavior is too reckless and could easily backfire.]

"Where is your lover?"

At this point, you're too lazy to pretend anymore. A useless person with no backing doesn't need to put on an act.

Seeing that you suddenly relaxed, Jiang Xueci was taken aback at first, but perhaps thinking of her own situation, she didn't dwell on it any longer.

"My husband... is on the miscellaneous servants' peak."

Still calling him "husband"?

You gave her a disdainful look; being in love is a killer!

"So, what's your purpose in telling me all this?"

You reclined on the prayer mat, leisurely observing the beautiful woman before you.

"I will teach you all my cultivation techniques and secret arts. You must rescue my husband and let him return to the mortal world to live as an ordinary person."

Hearing this, you probably know what happened to her lover.

[He's probably been crippled by Gu Wudao and thrown into a place like the Miscellaneous Service Peak, where he'll likely face endless humiliation and torture every day.]

"Aren't you going to try to possess me?"

A hint of curiosity lingered in your eyes; this was likely the reason the woman in the red dress had brought you here.

【"it's useless."】

Jiang Xueci slowly shook her head.

"For over two hundred years, I've tried everything, but nothing has worked. That man... he's too ruthless and too strong."

"Over two hundred years? How many years exactly?"

Your eyes lit up, and your words carried a hint of urgency.

Jiang Xueci was puzzled, but perhaps she had some ulterior motive. After a moment of contemplation, she finally sorted out her thoughts.

"It should be around 250 years ago."

[Idiot!]

The slight twitch at the corner of your mouth is indeed very suitable for the other person.

However, this number did give you a huge surprise.

The fact that Gu Wudao personally came to this place and went to such lengths to torment the two of them shows that this marriage was not something he considered insignificant.

That would give you a lot more room to maneuver.

[Hehehe~ Gu Wudao, just wait, I'll be back to take my revenge on you soon.]

"I have a question for you."

Your expression suddenly turned serious.

Jiang Xueci nodded slightly, listening quietly.

[Tsk~ She's really beautiful when she's not acting stupid. Even in this state, she's comparable to Feng Qianyue.]

"If time could go back 250 years, and someone could arrange this marriage for you, would you be willing to give up everything within your sect and leave..."

"I do!"

Before you could finish speaking, Jiang Xueci preemptively agreed.

[Decisive and swift, without the slightest hesitation.]

Seeing your surprised expression, Jiang Xueci gave a bitter smile.

"I'm not afraid to admit it, but over the years I've had the same dream: how wonderful it would be if time could go back to the way it was before."

[Top-tier love-struck!]

[After the assessment was completed, your eyes narrowed slightly.]

"My lady, I wish to take those things you promised myself, is that alright?"

【"you?"】

Jiang Xueci was slightly taken aback.

Before she could figure it out, your hand was already on her head, and black mist slowly dissipated.

"Soul Searching Technique? You're actually a cultivator?"

[Jiang Xueci's eyes showed no fear, only a hint of astonishment.]

"It seems you've long been prepared to die."

You nodded slightly, preparing to extract her memories, when Jiang Xueci's hand laboriously rested on your wrist, her eyes filled with a pleading look.

【"help me!"】

"Alright."

You agreed.

You really need to know what kind of person that man is, as this will determine the direction of your next simulation.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xueci's lips curled into a smile, and she murmured softly:

【"Thank you."】

Look, she even thanks us!

Without further hesitation, the black mist instantly invaded her consciousness.

[The next moment, a flood of memories surged forth.]

You slowly moved your fingers, erasing all the irrelevant memories, leaving only her interpersonal relationships and cultivation techniques.

Sunrise and sunset.

Three whole days later, you slowly opened your eyes.

Jiang Xueci had already slumped onto the prayer mat, her breath extremely weak.

You got up, went to her, and gently patted her cheek.

"Are you still alive?"

The woman in white opened her eyes with difficulty, forced a smile, but did not speak.

After getting what you wanted, your attitude quickly softened.

"Any other wishes?"

You leaned closer to her and casually added:

"This is way too hard!"

She opened her eyes, and a ray of sunlight fell directly on the entrance to the main hall. The gray mist in the woman's eyes slowly faded, revealing a pair of bright, clear eyes.

"Please take me out to see the world."

Jiang Xueci's tone was coherent, and her complexion suddenly became much rosier.

But you know, this is just a last gasp before the storm.

You reached out and lifted her up in your arms.

Jiang Xueci's expression stiffened. Just as she was about to refuse, the young man's figure shifted, transforming into a stunningly beautiful woman.

【"you..."】

"They're all women, don't mind them."

You grinned and instinctively pulled her closer.

Believe it or not, the more beautiful a woman is, the more supple her body is.

[Except for Ling Shuanghua, that girl's gone mad from practicing swordsmanship; she's as hard as a board.]

[You moved swiftly, bringing her to the rooftop outside the main hall, where the morning sun was slowly rising in the distance.]

The woman in white leaned on your shoulder, gazing absently at the distant sunrise.

"Father...I'm sorry..."

A moment later, the woman's bright eyes gradually lost their luster.

You heard her soft murmurs, but you didn't offer any words of comfort.

Because you lack empathy.

You reach out and gently close her eyes.

"Alas, may Gu Wudao be absent from heaven."

Meanwhile, inside a grand hall somewhere in Zhongzhou.

The young man took out a broken jade pendant, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, followed by a cold laugh:

"He reaped what he sowed!"
