Xie Jingxiu's courtyard is located on the hillside of the side peak. It is surrounded by clouds and mist and has rich spiritual energy. It is impossible for ordinary foundation-building cultivators to get there. This shows how much importance Xuanfeng Sect attaches to him.

When the group arrived, the door of the courtyard was open, and tables, chairs, food and wine had been set up in the yard. Cen Pianpian was sitting at the table, playing with her fingers, bored.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your courtesy. I can tell from the smell that this wine is from Xiaoyaoju's Xiaoyaoke. It's so rare to get to taste it on a normal day!"

A man named Cheng Shigong who came with the Cheng family started complimenting as soon as he entered the yard.

Another woman named Cheng Qinshu also looked at Cheng Lingshu teasingly: "We are all benefiting from Sister Lingshu!"

Cheng Lingshu had no expression on his face and ignored her words.

When the owner of the courtyard heard the voices of the crowd, he slowly walked out of the house.

His gaze first rested on Cheng Lingshu, his expression gentle and affectionate, a scene of endless affection.

"Lingshu, you're here."

He gently called Cheng Lingshu's name, and then asked everyone to sit down.

Cheng Shuyan had been hiding herself behind everyone, so Xie Jingxiu didn't see her when he came out.

But she saw Xie Jingxiu through the gap.

Thank you Jingxiu!

Xie Jingxiu's voice echoed in her ears, and she seemed to see that scene again:

Ah Yan, why did you come out of no choice?

A bloody color gradually spread before her eyes, a red dyed with the blood of her loved ones.

Cheng Shuyan's blood was boiling and he unconsciously clenched his hands.

Cheng Lingshu noticed her strangeness and quickly held her and asked with concern: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Cheng Lingshu's voice suddenly brought her back to reality. She took a deep breath and smiled faintly.

This is Cheng Mingshu's smile.

Cheng Shuyan hated Xie Jingxiu, and she couldn't get along with Xie Jingxiu calmly, so at this moment, she could only be Cheng Mingshu.

Cheng Shuyan seemed to have returned to the time when he had just woken up. He stayed quietly in "Cheng Dani's" body, watching "Cheng Dani's" every move like a bystander.

Cheng Shuyan thought that "Cheng Dani" and Xie Jingxiu had never met each other, so at this moment, the person who appeared could only be Cheng Dani who had become Cheng Mingshu.

She shook Cheng Lingshu's hand back and said softly, "I'm fine. I was just a little distracted."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Xie Jingxiu noticed her. When Cheng Lingshu turned sideways, her entire body fell into Xie Jingxiu's sight.

She looked at Xie Jingxiu with a half-smile, pretending to be curious and said, "I've heard of Senior Brother Xie's great reputation for a long time. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed as extraordinary as the rumors say. I, Cheng Mingshu, greet Senior Brother Xie."

……

Cheng Shuyan hid all traces of her, hid in her sea of ​​consciousness, and quietly observed Xie Jingxiu's expression.

Perhaps it is because appearance reflects the mind, although this body is a twin of Cheng Lingshu, their appearance is not very similar. Instead, it is almost exactly the same as Cheng Shuyan's original appearance.

Cheng Shuyan was very curious about how Xie Jingxiu would react when he saw such a face.

Xie Jingxiu had been in seclusion practicing recently and had only heard some rumors that the Cheng family's head and his wife had found their lost daughter.

He didn't care about these things. His fiancée was Cheng Lingshu, and he didn't care about the other people in the Cheng family.

Hearing Cheng Lingshu calling her sister, Xie Jingxiu wanted to say hello to this "sister" out of courtesy.

He looked behind Cheng Lingshu, and this glance made him feel cold all over.

This face...

It’s Cheng Shuyan!

But how is that possible?

He killed Cheng Shuyan with his own hands on their wedding night. That night, she wore their wedding dress and fell into his arms.

He watched with his own eyes as her blood flowed out, staining her wedding dress crimson bit by bit, and then staining his body bit by bit.

How could Cheng Shuyan still be alive?

Is she here to seek revenge on him?

At this moment, Xie Jingxiu seemed to be isolated from the whole world. All he could see was Cheng Shuyan's hateful and unwilling face when he fell into his arms.

"Impossible... This is impossible... Ah Yan, how could you still be alive?"

He stared at Cheng Shuyan, as if he was muttering to himself, or as if he was talking to her.

When Cen Pianpian saw his eyes, she immediately felt something was wrong. Could it be that Senior Brother Xie really knew that bitch Cheng Mingshu?

She quickly grabbed Xie Jingxiu's hand and shook it: "Brother Xie, what are you talking about?"

Xie Jingxiu was shaken awake by her, and just in time he heard Cheng Mingshu say, "Little sister Cheng Mingshu, greetings to Senior Brother Xie."

Cheng Mingshu...

Xie Jingxiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and guesses flashed through his mind.

Could it be that Cheng Shuyan was not dead at that time, and tried every means to come back and seek revenge on him?

But her current identity is Cheng Lingshu's sister, and the Cheng family will not mistake the family bloodline.

If this is the case, then the Cheng Mingshu in front of him is more than ten years younger than Cheng Shuyan, so the age does not match.

Could it be possession?

This is also impossible. Possession of another's body cannot change a person's appearance. Besides, Cheng Shuyan was just an ordinary human being at the time. It is impossible for him to survive in the world as a soul for more than ten years and then possess the body of a baby.

He suddenly remembered the origins of the Cheng family that he knew when he was in the secular world...

He would always remember that night when the man showed him the powerful strength of the immortal cultivators and told him that the Cheng family came from the world of immortal cultivators and that the man had an irreconcilable feud with the Cheng family.

As long as he kills everyone in the Cheng family, that person will give him the immortal cultivation method and lead him into the immortal cultivation world.

The man said that with his aptitude, he would definitely be able to succeed in cultivation, and one day he would achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven, and it would not be impossible for him to live as long as the sky.

He agreed.

After all, the temptation of cultivating to become an immortal and living as long as the sky was too great. He was overwhelmed by the great joy and had no time to consider why that person, as an immortal cultivator, would need him, a mortal, to kill for him?

He hired a group of assassins to attack the Cheng family on his wedding night with Cheng Shuyan.

He originally didn't want to kill Cheng Shuyan, as he had real feelings for his new wife.

So he drugged Cheng Shuyan, thinking that after he had dealt with all the matters, he would take her to the world of immortal cultivation, cultivate immortality with her, and live forever together.

But why did she... come out?

If she hadn't come out, everything would have been different. He would have made up an excuse, whether it was bandits robbery or enemies seeking revenge, as long as he could have deceived her.

By then, they will be together in the world of immortal cultivation, and he will give her a grand wedding again to let her know that he, Xie Jingxiu, has the ability to give her everything, instead of having to rely on the Cheng family and become a despicable son-in-law!

……

Therefore, the Cheng family in the secular world may have come from the Cheng family of Qinglan Mountain in the world of immortal cultivation. Cheng Shuyan and Cheng Mingshu have blood from the same ancestor, so they look exactly the same.

The more Xie Jingxiu thought about it, the more he felt that this was the only possibility. There were many such things in the world of immortal cultivation. There were many people in the family who came from different branches but looked similar.

Thinking of this, he restored his gentle and polite appearance: "I just suddenly saw Junior Sister Mingshu. She looks quite similar to an old friend of mine. I apologize for my rudeness."
