The prime minister colluded with the rebel army, inside and out, and launched a coup. They quickly took over the imperial city. They wanted to become emperor and establish their own dynasty. However, one cannot expect to have a good ending when dealing with a tiger. After breaking into the royal palace, the leader of the rebels turned around and stabbed the prime minister to death, proclaiming himself as the king.
With the country on the verge of collapse, the emperor became the primary target. The final outcome was just like a story from legends. Su Ce and Xian Ling bound themselves under a cherry blossom tree. They made a solemn vow to be together in the next life and grow old together. As for Yun Fei, she was naturally betrayed and killed.
After Yun Fei's death, her lingering resentment transformed into a vengeful spirit trapped beneath the cherry blossom tree, awaiting the reincarnation of the two individuals. She sought revenge and it can be said that this tragedy was entirely caused by Yun Fei and her family's self-destructive actions. Their jealousy was too strong, causing them to harm others and betray their own kind.
It's hard to believe where she found the audacity to seek revenge. After hearing this, Shui Yuting and Liu Lin were shocked. "No wonder I felt an inexplicable familiarity when I first saw him!" Shui Yuting secretly glanced at Liu Lin, murmuring to herself. Liu Lin was also puzzled, wondering where in the world so many love at first sight stories came from. It turns out they were all connections from past lives.
"How romantic! We couldn't grow old together in our past lives, but we can reunite in this lifetime!" Mu Zhiqing listened to Ye Li's story with a dreamy expression. Then, Ye Li slapped her on the forehead. "That's enough. Put a lid on your romantic fantasies."
So far, most of the truth has been revealed. However, Su Ying looked at Ye Li with confusion. "Then why did she keep tormenting me in my dreams?" Ye Li rubbed his head and shook it. "I can only say that you've had a really bad run of luck recently." "I guess initially she just wanted to use someone with the surname Su as bait, but she unexpectedly found you instead." Upon hearing this, Su Ying was at a loss for words. Was it merely a coincidence that she had been having continuous nightmares for the past half month?
"You've said everything that needs to be said, and I have nothing to argue about." Yun Fei leaned against the cherry blossom tree, her face filled with sadness. "Hmph, I really don't know where you get the nerve, woman!" Mu Zhiqing mocked disdainfully. However, Yun Fei's emotions were unusually agitated. "I just can't accept it! Why is it that she, Xian Ling, a mere servant girl, received the emperor's favor? Why am I not enough? How am I inferior to her? Since entering the harem, Su Ce favored me once! I even arranged for the birth of that child with the chief guard! I've given so much to the royal family, why doesn't he even spare me a glance? Why? Even in death, he took Xian Ling with him, not me!" She roared madly, like a vengeful ghost. "Yun Fei, if Su Ce were willing to die with you, would you truly be willing?" Ye Li suddenly spoke up. Yun Fei was stunned. "Deep down, you're also someone who fears death and clings to life. Otherwise, why would you willingly submit to the leader of the rebel army? Tell me the truth, if Su Ce were to take his own life with you, would you dare?" "You wouldn't dare! You're afraid of death! That's why you can't compare to Xian Ling! From the beginning, you and her were worlds apart. The only thing better about you was your family background. Other than that, you're worthless!" Ye Li's words tore away Yun Fei's final shred of dignity. She had no more excuses to make. "Hehehe, so that's how it is!" "So that's how it is!" Then she looked at Shui Yuting. "Xian Ling, I'm inferior to you. It's been eight hundred years, and I admit it! I'm inferior to you!" She let out a long and extremely tragic howl. "Farewell, Su Ce, Xian Ling, oh no, I mean... Liu Lin, Shui Yuting." The next moment, black energy began to burn on her body. She spontaneously combusted. Eight hundred years of obsession dissipated. And just like that, the matter was resolved, leaving everyone present in silence. In this world, all disasters originate from human nature. Sometimes, Ye Li had also wondered. Aren't these sufferings just the result of humans bringing it upon themselves? Whether it's the ghost baby, Bone Maiden, Zheng Chusheng, or now Yun Fei.
From beginning to end, the root cause was the flawed nature of human beings as the starting point. It eventually resulted in a great disaster. Sigh, I shouldn't think about it too much. Getting caught in a loop. Ye Li shook his head. I'll just do what I want to do. Seriously act nonchalant, that's all. "It's resolved, let's go." Ye Li shrugged and walked towards the exit of the park. "Mr. Ye!" a voice came from behind. "Thank you for this time!" He saw Liu Lin waving at him. "When I marry Yuting, you must come and drink at the wedding!" He held Shui Yuting, and they both had radiant faces, brimming with happiness. "Just so you know, I won't be giving a red envelope!" Ye Li waved his hand. "Mr. Ye, your presence is reward enough, no need for a red envelope!" They were truly an interesting couple. Ye Li shook his head and continued on his way. "The sour smell of love." On the other side, Ye Xirou had just taken office as the new official and was busy with official duties. "Xirou, the school idol, Luo Linglong, is coming to perform in the city! Let's go watch together! I've also invited Ye Li!" Wen Qing's call came at the perfect time. She had just finished her official duties. "Sure, no problem!" She readily agreed. The school idol, Luo Linglong, was specifically invited by her. The eighteen-year-old idol girl was now famous throughout China and extremely popular. The newly established city needed someone to boost its popularity, and a school idol was a perfect fit. Just as she hung up the phone, it rang again. Grandma? She looked at the caller and her expression changed. Normally, Grandma Ye wouldn't make phone calls. She didn't like using electronic devices. It seemed something had happened. She worriedly answered the call. "Xirou," Grandma Ye's voice came from the other end. "What's wrong, Grandma?" The voice was serious, indicating that it wasn't good news. "Grandma won't exchange pleasantries with you. To cut to the chase, a foreign organization, the Twelve Zodiacs, has infiltrated China." "Their target is the city of Li and the school idol, Luo Linglong!" What?
Ye Xirou was shocked. The Twelve Zodiacs was a powerful foreign organization, and even their weakest member had at least A+ level strength. There were quite a few members at the half-step S-rank level, and there were even two S-rank existences among them. They were incredibly powerful overseas. Why would such an organization target a school idol?
"Your Uncle Cheng Yan will come to Li City this time!"
"This matter has a significant impact, and you must take it seriously!"
"Luo Linglong's father is Dr. Luo Feng, one of our country's top spiritual researchers. I suspect that they are targeting Dr. Luo Feng!"
Ye Xirou nodded repeatedly. "Okay, Grandma, don't worry, leave it to me!"
"You can rest assured that I won't let them cause trouble!"
Ye Xirou helplessly rubbed her temples. Another incident was about to happen. With these powerful individuals infiltrating China, a big battle was inevitable.
"Well, let them come. We'll meet the enemy head-on and deal with them when they arrive!"
"Besides, we have that person as well!"
Her gaze turned to the statue of Li Jianxian not far from the window, and a trace of confidence flashed in her eyes.
