The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Wu Xin: "I remember a lot. I remember that time when I always rode on your shoulders and pulled your long beard. I also remember that time when you used the Sky-Breaking Sword with such amazing skill."

Wang Rensun's mouth curled up slightly as he thought about it. Without thinking, he said, "What do you remember? You remember... you betrayed my father."

When Wang Rensun heard this, his face changed. He looked up at Wuxin in surprise. While Wuxin was looking at him, he sat down cross-legged silently, holding the knife in both hands and said, "For the past twelve years, I have been wondering whether you would come to kill me. I asked Master Wangyou, and he said that everything in the world has cause and effect. He also told me a lot of Buddhist principles. I am not a monk and I don’t understand so many principles. I just wonder, what will I do when you come to kill me? Probably... hand the knife to you." As he said that, he lowered his head and raised the knife in his hands with both hands.

Wuxin walked forward, looked at the knife in his hand, slowly reached out to grasp the handle, thought about those things in the past, thought about the old monk's words, slowly loosened his hand, then walked to a place facing the sun, looked into the distance and said: "The old monk said that we should be compassionate."

Hearing this, Wang Rensun slowly lowered his hand holding the knife and said unintentionally, "Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Wang Rensun's eyes flushed as he said, "I actually hope you're here to kill me. If you don't kill me, it means there will be more trouble coming my way later."

Wu Xin: "It's not a big deal, I just need you to help me perform a ritual."

Wang Rensun asked with a puzzled look, "A ritual?" He stood up, looked at Wuxin, and said, "Although I practice in the Great Brahma Sound Temple, I am not a monk."

Wu Xin: "I don't want you to do it. I want the entire Dafanyin Temple to perform this ritual for me."

Wang Rensun thought for a moment and looked up and called out, "Senior Brother."

However, he didn't expect his brother to have fallen asleep. It was only when another monk beside him whispered in his ear that he woke him up. Wang Rensun said, "Brother, I have a favor to ask. I would like you to perform a ritual for me. I need to invite three hundred monks."

He nodded and agreed to Wang Rensun's request. Wuxin said, "You are the only friend left in the old monk's life. Letting you preside over this ritual is also a way to repay his nagging for so many years. I will come here to see you in three days."

Wang Rensun: "What happens after we're done?"

Wuxin: "After that, let's talk about it after you survive." Then he turned around and flew directly to the roof. Without looking back, he said: "After this ritual, you can leave. Twelve years ago, they forced you to get involved in right and wrong. Twelve years later, you can't repeat the same mistake." After that, he left.

Mo Lvyi shook her head helplessly, while Xiao Se frowned and said, "I say, have you noticed that every time this guy leaves, he never thinks of taking us with him?"

Lei Wujie: "It seems so."

Mo Luyi: "He must be used to being a lone traveler, but I think he will come back to find us."

Xiao Se: "Then they probably have no money left, so why are our so-called hostages refusing to leave?"

Lei Wujie: "That's right, then let's go directly to find the eldest brother."

Mo Lvyi looked up and said, "But he's back."

Then he looked up and saw Wuxin lying on the roof, looking at them and saying, "Why don't you follow us? We are going to a very far place and we need to rent some horses. I don't have any money." As he said that, he spread his hands and disappeared on the roof.

Lei Wujie grinned foolishly upon seeing this, while Xiao Se looked at the direction he left and said, "This guy is really weird."

After leaving the house, Mo Lvyi paid for a horse rental, while Xiao Se found a pawnshop to pawn his fur coat. Mo Lvyi watched him come out of the pawnshop with the silver and said, "You've always treasured that fur coat so much, why are you pawning it so easily now?"

Xiao Se: "We three grown men can't rely on you, a woman, to support us. It's okay for them, but not for me." As he spoke, he glanced at Lei Wujie and Wuxin beside him.

Upon hearing this, Lei Wujie couldn't help but reach out and touch the back of his head, an awkward and slightly apologetic smile spreading across his face. Scratching his head, he muttered softly, "Hehe... well, this is indeed a bit embarrassing."

Wu Xin on the other side spread out his hands calmly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Oh, there's nothing I can do! Who told Wu Xin to be penniless? Besides, how can my rags compare to your fur coat worth thousands of gold, Boss Xiao! Even if I take it to the pawnshop, I probably won't get a few coppers. So, I can only endure the injustice and live off my wife." After saying that, he deliberately winked at Xiao Se, putting on a helpless look.

At night, they were out in the wilderness, cooking wild vegetables. Lei Wujie looked at the pot and asked Wuxin, "Wuxin, how do you eat this? Why have I never seen this before?"

Wu Xin: “I’m surprised by what I’ve seen.” Then he picked up the food and started eating.

Mo Lvyi looked at the pot and the dishes beside it. Isn't this the hot pot in movies and TV dramas? So she picked up the dishes and tasted them curiously.

Lei Wujie watched him eat and said in surprise, "This...this...can you eat it now?"

Wuxin: "Yeah, not bad."

Mo Luyi also nodded: "It's really good."

Seeing this, Lei Wujie also started eating, while Xiao Se picked up a piece of garlic... Several people started chatting while eating, from the way of eating to Master Wangyou, and from Master Wangyou to Wuxin's life experience.

Wu Xin looked at the three people in front of him and said, "Except for Lei Wujie, I believe you all already know who I am, right?"

Lei Wujie looked up from his bowl and asked in confusion, "Who are you? Aren't you Wuxin from Hanshui Temple?" Then he looked at Mo Lvyi and Xiao Se, "Isn't he Wuxin? Could he have another identity?"

Xiao Se: "If I'm not mistaken, your last name is Ye."

Wu Xin: "My last name is Ye. My name is Ye Anshi, and my father is Ye Dingzhi."

Lei Wujie's eyes widened as he said, "Ye Dingzhi? The leader of the Demonic Cult."

Wuxin: "Yes, my father is the leader of the Demon Cult."

Lei Wujie whispered to Mo Luyi and Xiao Se, "This Heaven Beyond Heaven is the Demonic Cult, right?"

Xiao Se: "The so-called Demon Sect is a collective name for more than a dozen sects outside the domain. The largest of them is Tianwai Tian. The so-called Demon Sect leader is the head of Tianwai Tian. However, it is said that after the Demon Sect's Eastern Expedition failed, they made a pact with the Central Plains martial arts community to lock up the mountains and rivers. An important figure from Tianwai Tian was held hostage in Beili for twelve years. That person must be you, right?"

Wu Xin: "It's me. I was five years old that year and followed my father on the Eastern Expedition. After my father died, I was adopted by Wang You."
