Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

[You and Xu Kun sensed a familiar feeling.]

[It was clear that Wei Zhi was experiencing intense emotional turmoil, almost to the point of being unable to suppress it.]

[Attempting to exploit the "femme fatale" fate.]

[Let's launch a surprise attack from the sky on you few culprits who led Wei Qi astray.]

You remained calm and unmoved.

[I understand that even in his fury, Wei Zhi won't act recklessly.]

【really.】

Ultimately, Wei Zhi was constrained by her fate as a femme fatale and her fear of whether your contact with her was a conspiracy.

[He suppressed his emotions.]

She turned abruptly, her crimson-gold palace dress billowing in the wind, her gaze settling on your face.

In that instant, her pupils narrowed slightly, and her gaze flickered.

[I sensed that you seemed to merge into the darkness of nothingness, and that a rebellious destiny was surging within your wide sleeves.]

[A sense of shared identity.]

[It stirred her emotions.]

[This filled her with an indescribable joy.]

You noticed the change in her eyes and understood what she was thinking at that moment.

Just like in the last simulation.

[The first meeting between the two of you, the beautiful but troublesome woman and the red-haired old monster.]

Wei Zhi also expressed this sentiment.

[Different from last time.]

Wei Zhi, residing at the pinnacle of power in Da Cang, was the Empress, adorned with supreme dignity and honor.

[This is a superior, condescending attitude.]

[This expresses the joy of meeting someone like oneself.]

This time, the unknown and the apprehension caused her excitement to be suppressed by a sense of crisis.

Wei Qi keenly observed the eye contact and emotional shifts between the two of you.

[He secretly affirmed it.]

You and his sister really have a secret you're hiding!

No wonder his tone and manner of speaking about his sister always seemed strange to him.

[The first and second generation leaders, Pang Hai; the first generation leader, Xu Hui; and Xu Kun.]

[I'm just observing the two of you.]

I feel that you two are looking at each other right now.

[It gives people a feeling that lasts a lifetime at first sight.]

[The two generations of Pang Hai were gossiping and chatting, while the first generation, Xu Hui, secretly jotted it down in his little notebook.]

Xu Kun commented on your "love-hate" relationship.

In that instant, it felt as if time had stretched out infinitely.

Wei Zhi calmed his complicated emotions.

[Maintaining a dignified and elegant demeanor.]

"You are Wen Yu, a direct disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion, a locked-door disciple of the Celestial Master, and the contemporary Daoist Child."

The sound of jade chimes striking each other was like a musical melody.

You sat gracefully, set down your teacup, and withdrew your hand, which had been outlined in black mist.

[Smiling and nodding: "Exactly."]

"Why did you drag Wei Qi into the Tomb of the God of War?"

Wei Zhi's direct questioning revealed an undeniable authority.

[You turned your head, puzzled, and asked in return, "Why not enter the Tomb of the God of War, such an opportunity?"]

Wei Zhi's brows furrowed slightly; every frown and smile captivated the heart.

[It's heartbreaking to see him frown; he willingly makes sacrifices just to win a smile from his beloved.]

Wei Zhi's tone was icy: "Why has Wei Qi become like this?"

You chuckled and shook your head, still using that questioning tone.

"Whether Brother Wei has become this way or has always been this way, I'm sure you know better than I do."

Wei Qi noticed that the previously awkward atmosphere between you had turned into a tense standoff.

She quickly explained, "Sister, I entered the Tomb of the God of War with a clear conscience; it was all Mr. Wen's good intention..."

【"Shut up!"】

Before Wei Qi could finish speaking, Wei Zhi coldly rebuked him.

[In a daze, Wei Qi seemed to return to his youth, to a time when he was controlled by Wei Zhi.]

Now, he has seen his true self and understands what he is pursuing.

Therefore, they will no longer be subject to any control or restrictions.

Just as he was about to speak in rebuttal...

You raised your hand to stop him.

Their gazes fell upon Wei Zhi's breathtakingly handsome face.

"The tomb of the God of War was originally a fortuitous encounter, but unfortunately, some people with ulterior motives used it to scheme against us..."

As you spoke, you tried to spread your hands in a gesture of helplessness.

[It has been discovered that only the left arm remains.]

[He could only shrug: "You should know who the culprit is."]

Wei Zhi's brow furrowed even deeper.

[His phoenix eyes exuded an aura of power and calamity.]

She turned back to look at Wei Qi, her gaze seemingly piercing through the void, witnessing the sublime blessing upon Wei Qi's destiny.

[War and fate...]

Then, in despair, she closed her eyes again.

Within the Wei family, having someone like her, destined to be a femme fatale, already makes life extremely precarious.

If it weren't for the Wei family's immense power, and her own cautious nature from a young age, she would have been willing to become a tool for attaching herself to the royal family and participating in the power struggles within the imperial court.

They would probably have been killed long ago.

Therefore, she guided and controlled Wei Qi.

[It is knowing the darkness of this world deeply, and trying to protect it.]

【result……】

Wei Qi is now destined for war and calamity.

Over the years, if she hadn't used her power to suppress the Wei family and the imperial court, and to quell the rebellion, they would have already reached Yongzhou.

How could they still act so recklessly as Wei Qi?

Her heart was heavy, filled with resentment and hatred towards fate and destiny.

Are these two siblings ultimately destined to face a 'trouble'?

Wei Qi sensed the painful emotional turmoil in his sister.

A hardened heart can't help but soften.

The siblings' affection is genuine, and they understand the purpose behind the sister's actions.

Therefore, after understanding his true nature, he never blamed or resented his sister.

[The control they exerted over the years.]

【"sister……"】

Wei Qi's gentler voice pulled Wei Zhi out of his thoughts.

She opened her eyes and sighed, a hint of dejection in her voice.

"What brings you to see me today?"

She no longer dwelled on Wei Qi's current state or who was right and who was wrong.

Wei Qi looks at you.

[After you nodded in acknowledgment.]

He said seriously, "We want to be granted amnesty."

"To be offered amnesty?"

Wei Zhi was surprised to hear this, then his eyes showed suspicion and a strange look.

[I turn around to look at you.]

Seeing this, you can't help but chuckle and sigh, "They're truly siblings."

Their thought processes are somewhat similar.

You explained, "We wish to request imperial permission to surrender."

Wei Zhi realized he had misunderstood.

Then, a deeper sense of doubt crept into my mind.

[His phoenix eyes betrayed extreme distrust.]

"The Daoist Master currently occupies Yongzhou and has pushed back the Western Regions, enjoying a great situation. Why then is he seeking amnesty?"

【"well…… "】

[You let out a long sigh.]

[Putting on an air of righteous indignation, bearing the misunderstandings of the world.]

"It seems even the Empress believes I harbor treacherous ambitions and am a rebellious traitor."

Wei Zhi didn't reply, just silently watched you.

The meaning in his eyes was clear.

"With your appearance, billowing black smoke, aren't you a rebellious person?"

You ignored her gaze.

[Continuing to make excuses... Chen Ming's own sense of righteousness.]

"My uprising in Yongzhou and the chaos in the Western Regions were all driven by unwavering loyalty to the Great Cang."

"Heaven is my witness..."

[Boom!]

[As you spoke, strange phenomena appeared in the heavens.]

[It's like an echo of your loyalty.]
