Inside Yourong City.
An Jinqiu slowly awoke, looking around at the familiar furnishings.
She realized she was still inside the City Lord’s mansion.
What was going on? Had her younger sister saved her?
An Jinqiu couldn’t help but sigh, feeling deeply disappointed. Then she entered the main hall, and upon discovering the absence of the colored-glass coffin, she immediately grew furious, shouting coldly, “Someone!”
The female attendant Qian Su immediately came over and hurriedly asked, “City Lord, what are your orders?”
An Jinqiu turned around, and upon seeing this familiar face, froze on the spot.
In disbelief, she asked, “Aren’t you already dead?”
“City Lord, don’t joke! How could I be dead?” Qian Su’s ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) smile stiffened.
You really are presumptuous!
An Jinqiu shook her head slightly.
She clearly remembered that the female attendant Qian Su had died on the day Yun Jie Xin arrived. For that, she had been deeply grieved for a long time.
Yet now, Qian Su was alive and standing right before her.
What was going on?
Was this a dream?
Or had time reversed?
An Jinqiu quickly inquired again about Ye Yu’s whereabouts.
To her surprise, no one present knew who Ye Yu was.
Even her own younger sister, An Jie Yue.
An Jie Yue even said disdainfully, “Why are you asking about this? Who is Ye Yu? Do I need to know him?”
“Smack!”
A sharp slap sounded.
An Jinqiu slapped An Jie Yue.
This scene stunned Qian Su completely. Was the City Lord mad?
Previously, the City Lord had adored An Jie Yue endlessly.
No matter how naughty or rebellious she was, she had never been punished.
But this morning, after just waking, she kept saying strange things.
She even struck An Jie Yue.
It was unbelievable—too shocking to believe.
Could it be possession by an evil spirit?
Not only Qian Su, but even An Jie Yue didn’t expect An Jinqiu to strike directly.
They both froze on the spot.
“Ye Yu is my husband, your brother-in-law. You must not speak of him like that! If I hear any more disrespectful words, I will not hesitate to act again!” An Jinqiu’s tone was icy cold.
At this point, she was certain that time had indeed rewound.
By calculation, Ye Yu should arrive in about half a month.
When that time comes, An Jinqiu would never allow the tragic events to happen again. Never!
Afterwards, she called An Jie Yue aside alone and revealed her true origins completely.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Inside Yixing Pavilion.
Qin Xihe also awoke, and when she saw her empty wrist, panic surged in her heart.
Where was the jade bracelet? That was the Ye family’s heirloom, a symbol of the daughter-in-law—how could it be lost?
Where was it?
Wait, something was off!
Qin Xihe felt a throbbing headache. After leaving Yourong City, she couldn’t accept the fact that Ye Yu had died, so she had been desperately searching the Heavenly Realm for his whereabouts.
Though she never found anything, she never stopped.
Because Qin Xihe simply could not face reality.
Later, the celestial energy of the Heavenly Realm further revived.
By chance, Qin Xihe reached the peak of the Immortal King realm, just half a step short of the legendary Immortal Emperor realm.
Unfortunately, at that time, her spirit was exhausted; she no longer had the ambition to rise higher.
So, at a crucial moment, she chose to withdraw and returned to Yixing Pavilion, sitting in solitude for ten thousand years.
Her heart mourned and died.
Qin Xihe remembered all of this clearly.
So why had her cultivation level now returned to the peak of the Immortal Lord realm?
What had happened?
At that moment, her disciple Lü Wanzhu walked in from outside and softly asked, “Master, I’ve packed everything. We can leave for our journey anytime. Hopefully, luck will be better this time and we can find more good things!”
This sentence felt incredibly familiar to Qin Xihe.
Right, before going to Yourong City, Lü Wanzhu had said the exact same thing.
Why was she experiencing it all again now?
Was it fate? Was time rewinding?
Thinking this, Qin Xihe softly said, “Zhu’er, how about I let you have Ye Yu?”
“Ye Yu? Who is Ye Yu? Master, what are you talking about?” Lü Wanzhu looked confused, her face full of puzzlement.
Qin Xihe smiled slightly.
Sure enough, time had reversed; they were at the moment just before setting out on their journey, and would arrive at Yourong City in the Southern Sun-Moon State of the Heavenly Realm in about half a month.
That would be Lü Wanzhu’s and Ye Yu’s first meeting.
Qin Xihe immediately stood up, hands behind her back.
“This journey is canceled. I will go alone. You should stay and cultivate well in the sect.”
“What? Master, didn’t we agree before? You—”
Before Lü Wanzhu finished, Qin Xihe waved her sleeve and coldly said, “Who is master here, you or me? How dare you talk back? You’re grounded for six months!”
Lü Wanzhu was stunned, feeling very wronged.
Why was she punished? Master, what did I do wrong?
Qin Xihe was in a great mood.
Zhu’er, Zhu’er, for your master’s happiness, this time you will obediently stay home!
The master had already decided: once she finds Ye Yu in Yourong City, she will be together with him forever, never returning to the sect.
Not giving you even a chance to think about Ye Yu!
...
In the Southern Sun-Moon State of the Heavenly Realm, inside the Ye family estate.
Jiang Yumo barged in.
Xu Manzhi thought someone came to cause trouble and angrily raised her immortal sword to strike, but upon seeing who it was, immediately calmed down.
“Yumo, Yumo, if you’re coming, just come. Why break my door? This cost me many immortal stones—it wasn’t cheap!”
Jiang Yumo said nothing, throwing down a storage ring.
“There are three thousand immortal stones inside, enough to buy a hundred doors like yours. Now tell me, where is Ye Yu?”
“Who is Ye Yu?”
Xu Manzhi was completely confused.
Jiang Yumo took a deep breath and said quietly, “We’ve had thousands of years of friendship. Are you pretending not to know me now? Tell me, where is Ye Yu? I’m really anxious.”
Xu Manzhi shrugged, “Yumo, no matter how anxious you are, it won’t help. You have to tell me who Ye Yu is first, then I can answer.”
Jiang Yumo clenched her fists tightly, her immortal energy surging instantly.
Since learning of Ye Yu’s death, she had spent hundreds of years in a daze.
Only recently did she finally wake up, realizing she had already fallen for this mischievous bad boy.
Now that time had reset, Jiang Yumo would never miss Ye Yu again!
Even if she had to compete with her junior sister, she was willing.
After all, they had been fighting over him since childhood—her junior sister should be used to it by now!
Human world.
On Wuzhi Peak.
After many days of contemplation, Ye Yu had already made a preliminary plan to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, and was ready to act immediately.
