The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

"So he chose to silently protect Yi Wenjun for her entire life. He even helped his junior sister Yi Wenjun leave Tianqi City and return to Ye Dingzhi for the second time. He did not care about worldly matters or ethics, but only cared about Yi Wenjun's heart. As long as Yi Wenjun wanted, he would protect her and do it for her."

"He was a great swordsman, but he ultimately lost his life to a beautiful woman. Yi Wenjun owed him so much in her life that she could never repay him. Later, she finally managed to escape from Tianqi City. By then, Ye Dingzhi had died, leaving you alone and helpless. She returned to Tianqi City once again because her child was there, haha!"

"Her son, Ye Shi'an, grew up without a father or mother, a hostage who suffered constant bullying. Her other son, greedy for imperial power, became a victim in the struggle for it. One son was abandoned, and the other was never properly taught. She has lived her life in vain as a mother because she has never fulfilled her duties as a mother, whether for you or Xiao Yu.

One of her husbands loved her to the point of servility, even to the point of possessiveness. Another husband loved her to the point of obsession, even to the point of letting go. Her senior brother dedicated his entire life to her and protected her. Yet, she took all the love, yet let everyone down.

Trapped by her family and her identity, she lost her freedom. She's pitiful, but her actions make it hard to sympathize with her. I think people like her will ultimately have a miserable life, failing others and themselves, because she wants it all, because she always thinks of herself when faced with choices, and because she's never firm in her choices. Therefore, she's destined to end up with nothing.

"But it was also a helpless move for her. Born in such an environment, she couldn't make her own decisions on many things." Wuxin sighed softly.

Mo Luyi extended her jade-white hand and gently placed it on Wuxin's broad, solid shoulders. Her movements were so gentle, as if she didn't want to disturb him. She whispered, "It's good that you think this way. No matter what, the past cannot be changed, like water flowing eastward, it can never return. At this moment, you just need to calm down and carefully consider how to move forward in the future."

Wuxin nodded slightly, his eyes, once slightly confused and hesitant, becoming resolute and resolute. He took a deep breath, and as if making a firm decision, he slowly spoke, "Now that I know their past experiences and understand the truth behind the mysteries that have always troubled me, from now on, I will no longer let the past become a shackle that restricts my progress. Whether it's my father's lamentable fate or my mother's turbulent past, I will let them go. Perhaps I can only say that the bond between them is too shallow, and ultimately, it is impossible for us to stay together for a long time."

Mo Luyi smiled and nodded, agreeing with Wuxin's words. She picked up the exquisite wine flask beside her and took a big gulp of the wine, trying to relieve the dryness in her mouth caused by the long conversation.

Wu Xin looked at her and said, "Thank you for answering my questions. I'm just curious why you know so much."

Mo Luyi looked at him and said, "Guess?"

He looked at Mo Luyi without any intention of exploring: "The people who know these things are all older, but you look about the same age as us, and even if they knew, they wouldn't know as much as you do. Although you have answered my questions, I am still very curious."

Mo Luyi: "There's no point being curious about some things. I've already told you what you need to know. As for the other things, they don't have much to do with you. You should finish your business and return safely."

Wuxin stared at Mo Luyi intently, and said thoughtfully, "You must not be just an ordinary mountain dweller, right? At least you must be from a famous mountain like Wangcheng Mountain. However, I have never heard of Wangcheng Mountain having any female disciples."

Mo Luyi's right hand, gripping the wine jug, paused for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and replied with a hint of sarcasm, "I didn't expect you to be so perceptive!"

Wu Xin raised his eyebrows: "So you really are from Wangcheng Mountain."

Mo Luyi sighed. This kid was really something. She said helplessly, "I grew up in Wangcheng Mountain, but I've never been down the mountain."

Seeing this, Wu Xin's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he immediately asked, "So, you are not completely without martial arts skills, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to stop Xiao Se and Lei Wujie back then."

Upon hearing this, Mo Luyi spread her hands casually and answered nonchalantly: "It's not that I can't, it's just that most of the time, I'm just too lazy to move." After that, she raised the wine jug again and took a sip leisurely.

At this point, a deep silence fell between the two of them, neither of them speaking a word. Wu Xin gently closed his eyes, his thoughts flooding in like a tidal wave. He thought about his father's life and his mother's choices.

He recalled the happy times he spent with his parents as a child, each smile and each hug like a precious treasure deeply etched in his heart. He also recalled the ordinary yet warm days he spent with the old monk. However, as time passed, these beautiful moments gradually faded, leaving only endless longing and attachment.

Meanwhile, Mo Luyi looked up at the vast sky, pondering the current state of the world. Xiao Yu, the world's biggest villain, was a man she considered. He lacked love and security, yearning for recognition, which was why she wanted to take him in as her apprentice. Furthermore, the purple potatoes in the palace were incredibly mischievous, manipulating everything from the shadows, making it difficult to defend against them.

The Jianghu is equally turbulent. Dark River strives to shed its shadow of darkness and embrace the path of justice. The Tang Clan secretly plots to destroy the Thunder Clan. Wushuang City seeks to suppress Xueyue City and restore its glory as the world's foremost city. Xueyue City, in turn, attempts to meddle in the affairs of the imperial court to expand its influence. The entire Jianghu seems shrouded in a complex web, with various factions vying for control and engaging in endless struggle.

After a while, Xiao Se came back. He was thinking about the information he got from his master and wondering whether the person who had destroyed his martial arts was the Lone Sword Immortal.

Wu Xin opened his eyes and saw his sour face and asked, "Boss Xiao, are you unhappy?"
