The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Donghua: "..."

Yaoguang: “…”

Mo Yuan: "..."

The three men remained silent, their faces gloomy, their eyes filled with shock and confusion. They had assumed Bai Qian's loss was only a small amount of merit, but they hadn't expected it to be so significant. What had Bai Qian done all these years? Donghua's face was grave. He immediately summoned Chonglin and ordered, "Chonglin, quickly and thoroughly investigate. Find out everything Bai Qian did in Qingqiu."

At this moment, Yaoguang suddenly recalled what she had witnessed in the mortal world that morning—Si Yin performing a fortune-telling operation by touching bones. She turned to Mo Yuan and said in a deep voice, "Mo Yuan, check your merits." Hearing this, Mo Yuan recalled the two men who had just knelt and confessed their mistakes in Kunlun Xu, and doubts began to grow in his heart. He immediately began to check his merits, but the result shocked him greatly—it had been reduced by nearly half! He stared at his merits in disbelief, his face filled with astonishment, his mind quizzed.

Seeing this, Yaoguang snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Do you really think that reading a mortal's fortune by touching his bones is a trivial matter?" That's an act that disturbs the fate of mortals. If you encountered a god who was undergoing a tribulation, would you still think it was a trivial matter?

Hearing Yaoguang say this, it seemed to be true. So why hadn't he realized anything was wrong before? As he thought about this, he also asked this question.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this question. After a moment, Donghua said, "Besides being drugged, there's another possibility that people might subconsciously ignore any abnormalities. But drugging is unlikely. With so many people in Kunlun Ruins, it would be too difficult. Besides, you, the legitimate son of the Father God, are here, so that's the only possibility left."

Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Donghua slowly said, "Those are people with great fortune and great virtue. People like that will subconsciously glorify them and ignore things that are not in their favor."

Zhe Yan: "I've heard of this kind of thing, but it usually only appears in picture books and myths. Do such people really exist in reality?"

Yaoguang suddenly remembered that face, and his thoughts gradually drifted away. The identity of Bai Zhi's youngest daughter kept appearing in his mind, and a trace of doubt could not help but arise in his heart. Suddenly, a bold idea broke into his mind - could Bai Qian be the reincarnation of Shao Wan? But then, he rejected this idea. After all, Shao Wan, as a phoenix, has the ability to be reborn after Nirvana, but even if she is reborn, she will still maintain the form of a phoenix and there is no way she can become a fox. Besides, Bai Qian is Bai Zhi's daughter, and Shao Wan really despises Bai Zhi's scheming nature, so how could she be willing to reincarnate as his daughter? The more Yaoguang thought about it, the more confused he became, frowning and falling into deep thought. He really couldn't understand the reason behind this.

Looking at the people in front of him, especially Donghua, who seemed indifferent but was as meticulous as a sieve, Yaoguang felt helpless. He knew very well that he could not figure out the problem by himself, but would only make himself fall into a deeper mystery. It was better to leave this kind of brain-intensive work to them. Yaoguang sighed and said, "Then Si Yin... Oh, that is, Bai Qian, her appearance is very similar to Shao Wan. Does this mean that there is some kind of connection between them? Shao Wan saved the entire world back then. Logically, she should have accumulated the most merits. Moreover, as the Demon Lord, she has gathered the luck of the entire demon clan into one. However, he has not yet returned from Nirvana, and Bai Qian is Bai Zhi's daughter. You know Shao Wan's character well, so you naturally know that she can't be Shao Wan's reincarnation. So, what exactly caused this result?"

Donghua glanced at them and said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, "Shao Wan is my adopted sister, and yet you met someone who looks so similar to her, and yet no one told me."

Upon hearing this, Zhe Yan quickly explained, "Donghua, don't be angry. When she was little, that child did look a little like me. I thought it was just a coincidence, so I didn't think much of it, let alone think about it that way. Besides, I haven't been to see her since she went to Kunlun Ruins to learn martial arts. How would I know what she looks like now?"

Mo Yuan continued, "When Zheyan brought her to Kunlun Ruins to become his disciple, one of the reasons I agreed to accept her was because she looked a bit like Shao Wan. Over the past 20,000 years, she's become more and more like Shao Wan, but I only occasionally get a little lost in thought when I see her face, and I never really considered whether she was Shao Wan. Just like Yaoguang said, Shao Wan didn't like foxes, so I didn't connect the two of them."

Emperor Donghua looked at the three people with dissatisfaction and said, "Even if you haven't thought about it, she looks so much like Shao Wan. You should at least tell me."

Seeing Donghua's gaze drifting towards her, Yaoguang immediately explained, "I only saw them for the first time today. Please don't lump me in with them. Besides, isn't this the time to discuss this? Isn't the most important thing right now to figure out why Bai Qian and Shao Wan are so similar?"

Zheyan suddenly thought of a magic trick that could imprison someone else's soul in the sea of ​​consciousness, and then slowly absorb his luck, merit and magic power. However, if the imprisoned soul is too powerful, it would be difficult to absorb. But suddenly he thought of Bai Qian's behavior of causing trouble for the world for tens of thousands of years, and he suddenly realized it.

Donghua and Mo Yuan also thought of this possibility. At that time, Chonglin came back and presented what he had found to Donghua.

Donghua looked at the investigation results in front of him. Each and every one of them was simply outrageous. For example, he had a conflict with the tiger tribe over a medicinal herb and ended up burning the entire tiger tribe; he destroyed someone's meridians because of someone else's inappropriate words... These incidents were really too numerous to be imagined. No wonder Zheyan's merits were consumed so quickly.

Donghua flipped through the things and handed them to the other three people. Zheyan and Mo Yuan found it incredible to see these things, but Yaoguang felt that Zheyan and Mo Yuan were blind and had been with such a person for so long without noticing anything, and they didn't even know that their merits had been consumed by him.

Donghua looked at Mo Yuan and said, "Find a chance to check Bai Qian's sea of ​​consciousness to see if Shao Wan is with her. Isn't her demise coming soon? If she is, wait until she is injured during her demise and get Shao Wan out. Without Shao Wan by then, with all his sins, he might even be demoted, let alone promoted to a higher rank."

Mo Yuan agreed seriously. Since it was about Shao Wan, he would not be careless. Thinking of Shao Wan who died to save the world, Mo Yuan felt a little suffocated, but when he thought that Shao Wan might be coming back, he couldn't help but feel excited.
