Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

After a brief reminiscing, Wei Qi commanded his troops and led them back to their encampment.

The high hills in the east and west are divided by deep, formidable canyons.

[Wei Qi's army and the allied forces of the Western Regions were locked in a stalemate.]

Behind the eastern hills lie two of the eighteen kingdoms conquered by Wei Qi.

[Serving as a logistics and supply depot.]

[Maintaining logistics for Wei Qi's deep-sea operations.]

The foreground camp was well-organized but generally rudimentary.

This means that Wei Qi did not intend to stay in one position for long, but rather planned to continuously advance the front lines.

[They might even receive your instructions to negotiate peace.]

[Only then was a defensive line built.]

Otherwise, for Wei Qi, the best defense is offense.

The strongest defenses are always on the enemy's lines.

[Inside the commander's tent, you sit at the head of the table, and your personal guards present you with tea.]

Wei Qi somewhat clumsily boiled water and brewed tea.

[His smile froze, and he said coldly, "Over the years, I've almost forgotten the details of the tea ceremony..."]

Your gaze falls on his mature face, weathered by countless life-and-death battles.

He chuckled lightly, "But you seem to be enjoying your life these days."

Wei Qi nodded solemnly.

[He stated matter-of-factly: "For a commander, to be born on the battlefield and to die on the battlefield is the best end."]

Your smile paused for a moment.

[I'm really looking forward to seeing Wei Zhi's expression when she sees her younger brother, whom she has painstakingly controlled and guided for over a decade, in his current state.]

Thinking of Wei Zhi, you asked, "You've been leading troops in Yongzhou and the Western Regions for so long, haven't you received any news from the Central Court, the Wei family, or your sister?"

Wei Zhi looked up at you, his eyes filled with doubt.

He always feels that you pay too much attention to his sister.

Looking back, the two of you shouldn't have had any interaction.

One was the Empress of the Great Cang Dynasty, and the other was a direct disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Two people who would never cross paths.

He pushed his thoughts aside and realized once again that he was overthinking things.

[He said in a deep voice, "The voices calling for the suppression of the rebellion in the Central Court were suppressed by my sister. As for the Wei family..."]

[His cold laugh.]

"My sister's orders represent the Wei family's entire stance."

【"oh?"】

You couldn't help but wonder: "So your sister just lets you run wild?"

Wei Qi frowned; he didn't understand his sister's thoughts either.

[She shook her head and said, "It is indeed strange. Based on my understanding of my sister's personality... she should have gone to the Western Regions long ago..."]

You seem to understand why Wei Zhi hasn't asked any questions.

Perhaps it's because of fear.

[Because after you pulled Wei Qi into the Tomb of the God of War, you drew out the chaotic aura clone of Wei Zhi that was dormant within Wei Qi.]

Then, the first generation Pang Hai and the first generation Xu Hui are summoned.

One person altered her perception, preventing her from knowing what had happened; another person hacked her into an idiot, turning her into a timid, weak girl.

[Xu Kun's inner demons have once again invaded and lurked within Wei Qi.]

[After Wei Zhi discovered that the chaotic aura clone attached to Wei Qi had disappeared, and that he had no idea what had happened,...]

My first feeling wasn't curiosity or a desire to explore.

Rather, it was fear, a deep-seated fear.

[After all, it's a clone formed from the aura of a femme fatale, destined to bring disaster and misfortune.]

Even celestial beings would not dare to touch it lightly.

[Moreover, it allows her to disappear silently and without anyone noticing?]

That could only mean someone whose level of cultivation is far superior to hers, or... someone even dirtier than her!

[Regardless of the circumstances.]

[Based on Wei Zhi's last simulation, even though you fabricated a destiny for her and won over the hearts of the people, she remained steadfast in her unwillingness to turn against Emperor Xuanwu and seize imperial power.]

This demonstrates her heavy dependence on the Great Cang Dynasty.

This also means...

The fate of a beautiful woman being considered a source of trouble... is unstable!

Given his current state, why would Wei Zhi risk coming to the Western Regions?

[What if it gets tainted by something unclean, causing its already strange destiny to spiral out of control?]

You can imagine what kind of fate awaited her.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for Wei Zhi not to come, or even to inquire about the matter.

Similarly, you don't think Wei Zhi will give up so easily.

[He couldn't help but wonder if Wei Zhi wanted to probe for intelligence in Yongzhou and find out about Wei Qi's situation.]

[Then the best candidate.]

[This does not involve using powerful figures from the Wei family or the Great Cang royal family.]

Instead, they chose to cooperate with Yin Qian's forces.

[The bloodshed in the Western Regions is devastating, yet the Great Cang Central Court remains completely unaware?]

【Do not! 】

[The slightest disturbance in the world, if the Great Cang Central Court wishes to understand, has ample means to investigate.]

However, in most cases...

[Even the chaos of rebellion and uprisings that followed the complete loss of Nancang last time.]

[The Great Cang Dynasty chose to ignore it.]

[They remained excessively calm even in this situation.]

[Besides, what about the occupation of the "mere" Yongzhou, and the great war in the Western Regions?]

Therefore, the Great Azure Court knew the situation but chose to ignore it.

[And Wei Zhi probably didn't care at all in the past either.]

But now...

You have to consider whether she has partnered with Yin Qian's forces.

So, was this peace negotiation a forced compromise by Yin Qian, or a targeted conspiracy?

You didn't dwell on it deeply.

Because, in any case, the causal relationship with the Western Regions needs to be clarified and uncovered.

Now that the truth has been revealed, it's only natural to seek revenge.

After all, it was a disaster that could wipe out an entire family.

Even if your memories haven't returned before you rise from the coffin.

I still remember my father's gentle and loving affection, the butler's kindness and tolerance, the maids' attentive care, and the companionship of my page...

[And there's also the reason why Aunt Wen Fei always acts as a riddle teller.]

[You have achieved your current level and power through your own efforts and talent.]

It would be truly laughable if we remained hesitant and restrained.

[Of course, this includes actions like the one we simulated last time, where someone "recklessly ventured into the Western Regions in their youth."]

In the future, I should be more deliberate and thoughtful before acting.

Wei Qi looked at you with a puzzled expression, not understanding why you were lost in thought for so long after learning of your sister's attitude.

[Especially the cold, all-seeing light in his eyes, which flickered from time to time.]

[It even made him feel a little frightened.]

Pang Hai and Xu Hui were equally curious, but they didn't disturb them and waited quietly.

[Only Xu Kun remained unfazed, taking it all in stride.]

It slowly and deliberately wagged its fluffy tail.

[Thinking to himself: "Meow~ What's the big deal... But judging from Big Brother's appearance, it seems the waters of the Western Regions are a bit deep... Meow~"]

You gather your thoughts and ask Wei Qi again.

"How are the arrangements for peace negotiations being made in the Western Regions?"

Wei Qi's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "I sense they have ill intentions and have deliberately set a trap."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Wei Qi sneered, "They've chosen the ancient city of Loulan as the location for the peace talks!"

"The ancient city of Loulan?"

You were slightly surprised.

After wandering around, I've returned to this familiar place.
