The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Chapter 298: Chapter 155: Ji Mingyu’s "Truth" (Part 3)

"Although such a sect does occasionally produce some degenerates, they are ultimately a minority, and they are unable to rise to power in such an environment."

"Finally, you have a friend in the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace with whom you share a deep bond. That person is none other than the master of Floating Cloud, Wuchenzi. He passed away three hundred years ago, a very interesting old gentleman."

"In short, joining the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace was a choice you made after careful consideration. Originally, after finding you, I should not have met with you, but rather should have secretly guided you to join this sect."

Chu Xuan’s face looked a bit unpleasant, "So why did you change your mind at the last minute?"

He had once suspected that when Ming Yu hurt him, it might have been purely in accordance with his own plans and not her fault. But the fact was, he wasn’t that foolish.

Ji Mingyu felt a bit flustered inside, but she outwardly remained composed and said, "Actually, your resurrection plan considers the issue of memory."

"Before that great battle, you exported and backed up your memory, storing it in the Six Souls Banner."

"Then, when time rewinds to infancy, the Six Souls Banner will re-import your memory into the infant’s body."

"Theoretically, after you open your eyes again, you will immediately recall all memories from the Celestial Evil Period."

"But this is only theoretical. In reality, you haven’t overcome this challenge."

"You once told me that you had performed a similar operation on a test subject, but when she woke up, she had no previous memories. Instead, it was several decades later when, due to mental stimulation, she gradually recovered her memory through a progressive process."

"So, you made two preparations. If you revive with memory, there would be no need for me to find you; you would find a way to contact me, and at that time we would maintain covert contact and temporarily not meet."

"If you have no memory, then I would need to step in."

"My mission was to secretly watch over you, ensuring you did not die prematurely midway."

"Theoretically, you shouldn’t know of my existence, because that might make you reliant, believing you have the great backing of a Ninth Realm and can do whatever you want, which would be detrimental to your courageous progress on the path of cultivation and climbing to new heights."

Chu Xuan pondered slightly, realizing this was indeed his line of thought, but the problem was...why did Ji Mingyu deviate so greatly in execution in the end?

He lifted his head and stared steadily at her.

Ji Mingyu grew more and more nervous, and she said softly, "The thing is, I had some personal motives, so I made slight alterations to your plan, but the intention was always for our good."

PS: This segment is too long, there’s a word limit in the "Author’s Notes" section. I put the extra hundreds of words here, sorry, sorry.

Regarding the last Chapter, many people had a problem with the God’s-eye view. You know Haitang didn’t truly betray, but the protagonist doesn’t know. He doesn’t have the God’s-eye view and can only see Haitang lying repeatedly.

It’s like someone lied to you three times, four times, five times, and then the matter was exposed by a third party, not by her own admission. Would you still trust her? Not to mention she was uncovered in front of Qingqing yet continues to lie without batting an eyelid.

Another point, some people say the protagonist is being double-standard, not telling Haitang about him and Pei Shurou.

When designing the outline and plot, I really didn’t think of this issue. It can only be said that writing the regret genre with such strong emotional pulls for the first time, the points of conflict were poorly set.

But it’s also difficult to go back and change it. Like the part where Qingqing stabs someone, I revised it once, and it gave me a headache.

If I wanted to change the last Chapter, I would have no idea where to start.

So, in this Chapter, I made the protagonist reflect on his double standards, trying to root the reasons in his emotional experiences. Being repeatedly backstabbed left him with psychological shadows, he’ll adopt a calmer, more rational approach to the conflicts between them in the future.

After I finish writing the Ming Yu part, there won’t be any more backstabbing plots. What’s set in the outline are just Ji Mingyu, Qingqing, and Hai-
