Chapter 356: For the Demon (18)

After the clash of memories.

Crown Prince Chu Xiao sat on his bed with a sullen expression, his hands hanging listlessly.

In his previous life, after Cuicui had died at his hands, he thought he could be even more spirited, but he ended up dying in the Holy Emperor's purge.

The essays in the Jade Pendant had long ceased to be much help to him.

Before his death, he realized he had been too arrogant. If he had another life, he'd surely be extra cautious.

Still, heaven had given him another chance to be reborn, but was it certain it wasn't just toying with him?

Without the initial reliance on the Jade Pendant, what could he use to sit for the imperial examination or to associate with scholars?

Chu Xiao tried to recall the memories in his mind, only to find that his memories from his previous life were hazy, and he could not remember specifics at all.

And thinking about the scholar's meeting in a few days gave him a headache.
