After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

"That is, a thousand years ago... a disciple of the Fairy of Yaotai, and the founder of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect."

Yunmengji shared the intelligence with Shiyan.

Shi Yan watched the Yunmeng Machine's condition with some concern.

Because she was worried that Yun Mengming would notice, Shi Yan was unable to use the "Snow Cold Skill" to explore Yun Mengji's condition and help Yun Mengji regulate her body.

She could only watch Yun Mengji's expression with concern, worried that she might be punished by heaven for revealing a secret.

However, it's clear that Yunmengji, who has already squandered one of his lives, is now living a carefree life.

He showed absolutely no remorse when it came to taking his own sister's life.

She was in better condition than ever before.

"Qin Ge is the founder of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect."

"His mastery of the 'Azure Lotus Sword Technique' is unparalleled in the world."

"Although she seems a bit...stupid..."

“Hmm…” Yun Mengji hesitated for a moment, then revised her description of Qin Ge, “Cute and silly.”

After all, it would be inappropriate to use a word like "stupid" to describe an ascension from a thousand years ago.

not to mention……

The other party wasn't simply stupid.

Truly stupid people have no chance of successfully entering the Immortal Realm and ascending to the Celestial World.

"But it's still quite dangerous."

"I understand." Shi Yan nodded gently.

"Sister Shiyan, you must remember..." Yun Mengji solemnly reminded Shiyan, "Don't be fooled by her appearance and behavior."

"also……"

"Try not to let her find out about Shi Yan's sister's identity."

"Hmm?" Shi Yan frowned slightly, wondering what Yun Mengji meant.

"Once she discovered Shi Yan's sister's identity, even if she didn't want to harm her, she was already powerless to do so."

“I know.” Shi Yan understood Yun Mengji’s meaning.

Just like the Fairy of Yaotai and the Lord of Loulan a thousand years ago.

No matter how much two people admired each other before, or how close they were to each other, feelings may develop over time.

But... once Fairy Yaotai realized that the Lord of Loulan was the one she had to eliminate, she was no longer in control of her own destiny.

The gears of fate turned silently, ultimately forcing the ruler of Loulan to fall under her sword.

"And also..."

"If it really comes down to a last resort."

"Master Yan said that perhaps they could escape to the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, where... there is still a glimmer of hope."

"Hmm." Shi Yan nodded gently, indicating that she understood.

“But…” She reached out to Yun Mengji, showing him the ring on her hand.

The sheer number of rings dazzled Yun Mengji and Shi Hongjian.

The two women suddenly had their own thoughts.

Shi Yan showed Yun Mengji the "Pardon Heaven's Mandate" ring.

The dark teeth on the inner wall of the ring had already seeped into Shi Yan's flesh and blood. Even... into Shi Yan's soul.

That ring that Yunmengji "stole" from Yunmengming.

The ring that once saved Wen Wan and Shi Yan's cheap father... ultimately became a deadly curse hanging over Shi Yan's head.

The teacher's words were almost predictable.

As long as he has this ring, Qin Ge will never be face-blind and mistake someone for someone else.

The moment she saw him was the moment they turned against each other.

“That’s not a big problem.” Yun Mengji gently grasped Shi Yan’s hand.

"if only……"

The sound of the Cloud Dream Machine suddenly stopped.

Shi Yan also noticed the abnormality.

The whole world seemed to become very quiet in an instant.

The once bustling and lively market became completely silent almost instantly.

Yunmengji opened his eyes.

Actually, Yunmengji's eyes are very beautiful.

It's like a clear sky.

But the woman's clearly unfocused pupils silently spoke of... the fact that the woman could not see.

From those clear and bright eyes... Shi Yan saw a pure white figure.

The teacher stood up and turned around.

Shi Hongjian nervously stood protectively in front of Shi Yan.

A girl who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old slowly stepped out from another direction of the market street.

The girl was wearing a white dress with a thin tulle overlay.

His dark eyes were calm and still, as if all his emotions had been quietly concealed.

Her long, soft, black hair was tied up with a small, equally dark crown, but without any long tassels.

The girl's long hair, hanging down the back of her head, fluttered in the wind.

Yunmengji also stood up.

The bustling market, which had just been teeming with people, suddenly vanished.

Only Shi Yan, Shi Hongjian, Yun Mengji, and... Yun Mengming remained on the entire street.

"My Lord of Destiny—" Shi Hongjian took a difficult step forward and bowed slightly to Yun Mengming.

However... Shi Hongjian, standing there, was like a sword, cleaving through Yunmengming's malicious... pressure on Shi Yan.

Just then, Shi Yan suddenly gently grasped Shi Hongjian's hand, then stepped out from behind Shi Hongjian, facing Yun Mengming directly.

"Master Tianming——"

But... Yunmengming seemed completely oblivious to Shi Yan and Shi Hongjian.

She simply looked behind Shi Yan and Shi Hongjian.

"It's time to come home with me."

Silently biting her lower lip, Yun Mengji got up and walked towards Yun Mengming.

Only then did Yun Mengming coldly glance at Shi Yan, "You shouldn't have come into contact with the Heavenly Demon..."

"also……"

"They shouldn't have laid a hand on my sister."

She grasped Yun Mengji's hand, then frowned slightly.

Yunmengming left with Yunmengji.

In front of Shi Yan, Yun Mengming made no attempt to hide her true feelings, "Haven't you noticed...?"

"The kind of affection you have for her..."

"It's not normal liking at all."

"You changed your perception because of her."

“I know—” Yun Mengji turned back to “look” at Shi Yan again, and smiled brightly, “How could I not know?”

A woman who has seen through everything in the world.

How could they not see that unusual liking?

But... she could also see the sincerity of that affection.

Although the reason is unclear, since it's about liking someone, what difference does it make?

With a raised hand, Yun Mengji waved goodbye to Shi Yan.

In Yunmengji's hand... a silver ring, which looked extremely intricate, glittered.

The teeth on the inside of the ring are slowly spiraling into the woman's flesh.

tick-

On Shi Yan's finger... the deep dent from the ring was oozing blood.

She and Yunmengji exchanged ownership of the rings.

Right under Yunmengming's nose, the ownership of the rings was exchanged.

But... does Yunmeng Ming really not know?

she knows.

But... Yunmengji had grasped the girl's most vulnerable spot.

That ring actually represents the "divine mandate" ring of the Ghost Valley inner sect.

That ring... is the ring that represents Yunmeng's destiny.

He was going to put her ring on his finger, and given Yunmeng's personality, she simply couldn't and had no way to refuse.

That's why I was able to steal the ring so easily back then.

He was actually "blackmailing" her.
