Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

Once you understand your current state, you can't help but introspect on the entire rebellious spirit within your body.

The effect of just one right arm is already so good.

With that entire rebellious spirit amplified, the effect on his rank elevation would probably be no less than that of the black-label entry "Azure".

[It seems to be the mechanism behind the black-label entries.]

[There's still much to explore; its applications are endless.]

[Then, you're a little troubled about how to get out of this state.]

[After all, it's too ostentatious, looking like a demon descending from heaven.]

[A slight thought.]

[He manipulated the black mist ribbons to gather, gradually absorbing them into his empty, wide sleeves.]

[The attempt to suppress and defy destiny is gathering momentum to form a rebellious spirit.]

[Avoid clashing with or denying the fundamental cause and effect.]

The churning black mist gradually subsided.

Wen Fei witnessed the entire process unfold before you.

[His expression was slightly blank.]

After the black mist was drawn away, she regained her composure and realized her earlier outburst.

[I deeply understand the bizarre and mysterious nature of this black mist.]

Even ordinary people have to avoid it, unwilling to get involved.

"It seems I have to thank my aunt for this stroke of luck."

You spoke as if it were a joke.

Wen Fei raised her eyes and met yours, her gaze seemingly reproachful, yet also revealing regret and self-reproach.

"It was my stubbornness and insistence on doing things my own way that prevented me from listening to your explanation."

You shake your head: "No, I am deeply moved by my aunt's genuine affection."

【"well……"】

Wen Fei sighed softly, releasing her grip on your wide sleeve.

[Gently caressing your face.]

[In a gentle, wistful tone:] You have indeed changed.

You feel a warm, smooth touch on your face.

[She chuckled lightly, "People need to grow, don't they?"]

【"Um."】

Wen Fei nodded slightly.

[She straightened your collar, saying with concern, "The peace agreement is in effect. You must leave the Western Regions. Be careful in everything you do from now on..."]

"I will."

You listened patiently to her advice.

After the chilling killing intent that had permeated the entire ancient city of Loulan dissipated...

[Observing all sides of this place, their divine senses quietly penetrated deeper.]

Previously, fearing Wen Fei's murderous intent in erasing the causal link of her origin, they only dared to watch.

[I dare not investigate the specifics further.]

[Because any attempt to probe with divine sense will be obliterated by the sword intent.]

[And then, seeing you and Wen Fei so affectionately together now.]

[He couldn't help but show a look of surprise.]

[Previously, he was resolute in his killing intent, disregarding everything and vowing to fight to the death.]

Why are you two being all lovey-dovey again?

[Wei Qi, Pang Hai, Xu Hui.]

Although I was confident you could handle the crisis, I never imagined it would end like this.

[Even the second-generation Pang Hai didn't want to laugh, so he burst into laughter, shattering the tender moment between the two of you.]

He sighed softly, "When it comes to dealing with women, we're all far behind our brother."

The first generation leader, Pang Hai, also appeared, pulling at his eye sockets.

[Ideology nods and sways: "No wonder he managed to break free after being trapped in the Western Regions alone for ten years."]

[The first generation leader, Xu Hui, also made an appearance.]

[Observe silently.]

He suddenly said calmly, "It seems that my elder brother and Wen Fei are not closely related by blood."

【"???"】

"Huh? Ha? Ha!"

Both the first and second generations of Pang Hai looked at him with surprise.

Then she immediately understood the meaning behind his words.

After exchanging glances.

The first generation, Pang Hai, quickly returned to his consciousness space, refusing to see or hear anything.

[The first generation leader, Xu Hui, silently made another note in his notebook.]

[Inside the Qianyuan Palace.]

Yin Qian lingered before the Golden Lotus Pond.

[We await developments in the situation at the palace gates.]

[As a result, after his murderous intent subsided and he had assessed the situation, he...]

[He couldn't help but show a surprised expression.]

[They've already made peace?]

What happened to that unwavering determination, regardless of the cost?

Why did you give in so quickly?

He truly couldn't understand it and could only lament the fickle nature of women.

[Wen Fei sensed the fluctuations detected by divine sense around her and withdrew her affectionate posture.]

[Reluctantly, she asked, "When are you leaving?"]

【"tomorrow."】

"So rushed?"

Wen Fei didn't expect you to leave tomorrow.

You raise your eyes and gaze eastward.

You've roughly figured out the situation in the Western Regions.

The sheer size of Yin Qian's slush fund also exceeded your expectations.

If we consider them as enemies, it's difficult to draw a definitive conclusion about the Western Regions.

[Clearly possessing profound resources, numerous top-tier experts, far-reaching strategies, and a background spanning both the mortal realm and the heavens.]

[Yet, the things we do are often fraught with hesitation and difficulty.]

[It gives the impression of all talk and no action.]

This might not be a fatal opponent, but it's one you won't be able to defeat.

Its health bar is too thick; there's nothing we can do about it.

Therefore, you also lost interest in continuing to cultivate the Western Regions.

[Let's head to the central stage, enter the capital, and ascend the court; perhaps we can uncover more information there.]

Although Wen Fei was reluctant to part, she did not try to stop her.

Because I understand that if you stay in the Western Regions, you will ultimately face uncertainties and risks.

After a reluctant farewell.

You strolled down the white jade steps.

Wen Fei watched your back as you gradually disappeared into the darkness.

[Back at the Eastern Mansion.]

Wei Qi, Pang Hai, and Xu Hui completely ignored the details of what had happened earlier.

[As if nothing had happened.]

You are puzzled by their attitude.

But no further questions were asked.

[My instinct was to pick up the teacup with my right hand.]

Only then did they realize that within the wide sleeves, there was only billowing black smoke.

Wei Qi and others have also noticed your situation.

That playful, gossipy attitude vanished instantly, replaced by a look of concern and worry.

"Mr. Wen...your arm..."

Wei Qi inherited three bas-reliefs depicting battles from the God of War, and his mind was filled with nothing but killing.

[They are most sensitive to murderous intent.]

[I sensed the murderous intent etched into your very soul, etched into your very being, and intertwined with causality, emanating from your right hand.]

[Completely eliminate your right arm.]

[If it were a normal flesh wound, it would be severely injured.]

As long as there's still a chance for survival, it can be repaired using various methods.

[But this kind of erasure involves the fundamental cause and effect.]

Let's not even talk about helping you.

Even they, after taking such a blow, are barely able to protect themselves and cannot recover.

The first generation leader, Pang Hai, and the first generation leader, Xu Hui, also made their appearance.

[His face showed concern.]

They are confident that you can handle any dangerous situation.

I never imagined you would pay such a heavy price.

Indeed, for most people, such an injury would have lifelong consequences.

[The art of martial arts has almost completely disappeared.]

Thankfully, you're not just anyone.

Black mist swirled from your wide sleeves, forming the shape of a hand. You picked up your teacup and took a sip.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."

[Judging from your tone and demeanor, it didn't seem like you were forcing yourself; your expression remained solemn.]

Because I feel I failed to protect you, causing you to be in danger.

"Let's get back to the main topic."

You looked up at Wei Qi.

"Brother Wei, you can contact your sister now."
