Although he knew that A Niang was hiding her abilities and that everything might not turn out as Dongche Guanhuo Shan had predicted, it was better to be safe than sorry.

A Niang's enemies are so powerful that even if she finds a way to seek temporary peace, she will inevitably be discovered.

That is an existence that is more difficult to deal with than Ye Zhen'an.

The lesser of two evils.

Yu Xiangwan looked at himself sleeping soundly on the bed, unaware of anything. His hands surged, and a flash of emerald green guiding thought flew towards the ten-year-old Yu Xiangwan on the bed, quickly sank into his body, and disappeared.

The young boy on the bed, with his originally relaxed brows gradually wrinkled, was sweating profusely and slept very uneasily.

See this matter resolved.

Yu Xiangwan then quietly left.

I have to go see A-li. Ten years have passed and I don’t know how he is doing.

As I walked out, I felt a suction force and a white circle of light came from far away.

Suddenly he was sucked into the aperture.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the real world hundreds of years later.

He hurried to look for Ye Zhenan, Shen Ling and others.

As he walked, Yu Xiangwan suddenly stopped, carefully searched everything in his mind, and found that nothing had changed.

Ah Li still suffered the pain of displacement and was still imprisoned in a dark room and bullied by others...

Yu Xiangwan was stunned and froze in place.

I……

Didn't I find him a wealthy Zhao family? Why is this happening?

Could this be the result of my change?

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

Yu Hui looked at Yu Xiangwan quietly, his face as pale as a candle in the wind, as if he would be killed by a single blow.

His lips parted slightly, and there was no emotion in his words, like an old friend, like a stranger.

"You're back……"

There was no time to lament the passing of time. Yu Xiangwan looked up at Yu Hui with a cold voice.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"

After all, all this was thanks to him and Zhang Jingxue.

Yu Hui whispered, "You know you can't kill me."

Even if he was seriously injured, Yu Xiangwan could not kill him.

Yu Xiangwan did not want to say any more words to Yu Hui.

"Where are Ari and the others?"

Yu Hui chuckled, and that smile was filled with helplessness after the failure of his plan. It made people feel sad and pitiful, and it was different from every time Yu Xiangwan had seen it before.

In the past, his laughter, whether teasing or wanton, was definitely not like today.

Yu Xiangwan's gaze fell on the tattered fan pinned to Yu Hui's waist and paused suddenly.

Then it became clear.

It’s better for the fire fan to be destroyed.

"They are dead." Yu Hui noticed Yu Xiangwan's gaze and said lightly.

Yu Xiangwan's expression made it impossible to tell what emotion he was showing.

died?

He and A'li knew each other by heart, so how could he be unaware of her death?

The only explanation is that they left this place long ago.

Yu Xiangwan didn't say much to Yu Hui and turned away.

The formation that originally surrounded Wenxue Island had been broken at some point.

He walked down the snow ladder that was split in half vertically by Jing Qiyue.

The red silk on both sides of the snow ladder had long been eroded by the wind and snow, and was hanging there fragilely, swaying and rustling.

The writing on it had long been dilapidated after more than twenty years of wind and snow erosion, revealing a dead white color, having lost its original bright color.

Faintly visible was the ink writing on it:

I pray for you to have a joyful time, which will last for several months and will be remembered in the snow.

Yu Xiangwan suddenly laughed.

Zhang Jingxue is so funny. He has people he wants to protect, but he keeps hurting others.

He stopped looking at the tens of thousands of red silks and walked straight down the mountain.

As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw a clear figure standing in the snow looking at him.

Yu Xiangwan walked over and said in surprise.

"Third Senior Sister, why are you here?"

Jing Qiyue spoke softly when he saw that Yu Xiangwan was not only not injured but his cultivation had also improved a lot.

"I had nothing to do, so I came to see if you were back."

Yu Xiangwan felt warmed at heart when he heard this, but he did not expose her.

"Third Senior Sister, I'm fine. Let's go back."

Jing Qiyue nodded.

Together with Yu Xiangwan, he left the bleak and snowy Wenxue Island.

"By the way, where are my Senior Brother Xiaoqi and the others?"

"Reply to Fuyao. Your brother's whereabouts are unknown."

This was within his expectations.

Fuyao couldn't just sit back and watch the Chengfeng Sect use evil magic to refine the furnace, so it was normal for Ye Zhen'an to be called back.

After Shen Ling escaped, he must have returned to Yunshang Sect.

As for A-Li and Sang Yu...

They are used to being free.

After leaving the Nixing Sea, Yu Xiangwan saw Jing Qiyue stop and asked.

"Third Senior Sister, won't you go back to Fuyao with me?"

Jing Qiyue said.

"I have something else to do back at Fengqing Garden, so I won't be going with you."

Seeing this, Yu Xiangwan did not try to persuade him to stay and said with a smile.

"Then let's say goodbye. Third Senior Sister, please be careful."

Jing Qiyue nodded slightly, turned and left.

Yu Xiangwan took out the disciple jade token and looked at the several messages that popped up on it.

Look at them one by one.

Sang Yu told him where they were going and thanked him.

Changle didn't know where he went. They were just chatting casually, and judging from the situation, Changle didn't know what had happened.

Changle also knew that he didn't reply in time, so he didn't show any worry in his words.

Then came some information about Ye Zhen'an.

Looking at the two unfamiliar messages below, Yu Xiangwan's thoughts went blank for a moment. Who is Su Fujin?

After being stunned for a moment, Yu Xiangwan finally remembered.

This was his cheap little apprentice whom he had only met once, and he couldn't help feeling guilty.

It's normal to forget. After all, he has experienced so much in the past twenty years...

The more Yu Xiangwan tried to make excuses for himself, the more embarrassed he became.

Look at the two simple messages above.

Su Fujin: Master, I have drawn the Qi into my body. (Twenty-three years ago.)

Su Fujin: Master, your disciple has established his foundation. (Thirteen years ago)

Yu Xiangwan had no doubt that if he stayed there for a few more years, Su Fujin's next message would be: Master, your disciple has reached the Dan stage.

I am really incompetent as a master. I only have the title but do nothing practical.

Yu Xiangwan replied to the messages one by one, without further delay, summoned Pojian, and returned to Fuyao.

As soon as I reached the Domain Sword Peak, I saw a red figure appear in my sight.

"Senior brother?"

When Ye Zhen'an heard the voice, he turned around and saw a handsome man in a dark robe with cloud patterns standing not far away.

The black color outlines his slender waist, and he wears a red belt around his waist, loosely tied in a knot, letting it hang naturally to the same length as his hem. His black hair is tied with a band of the same color.

Different from her usual aloofness, she had added a bit of unruliness and was looking at him with a smile on her face.

Seeing Yu Xiangwan's outfit, Ye Zhenan was silent for a moment.

He walked over and whispered to Yu Xiangwan.

"Changning, you have suffered."

Yu Xiangwan was stunned when he heard this. Seeing the pain in Ye Zhenan's eyes, he noticed his black robe.

Isn't it just changing into clothes I've never worn before? What's the hard part?

"Brother, I am not suffering."

Seeing Ye Zhen'an's tender eyes, Yu Xiang'an quickly changed the subject.

"Brother, when did you come out?"

Ye Zhen'an and Yu Xiang'an walked in side by side.

"Seven years after you left, Third Senior Sister recovered. As Yu Hui grew weaker, the barrier surrounding Wenxue Island was also affected, so we took the opportunity to escape."

If Wen Nanxin had gone to look for the fish as soon as he discovered they were escaping, perhaps they would not have been able to escape.

But the upstream migration is a serious matter, and Wen Nanxin will definitely not disturb the fish easily, so he gave them a chance.

Yu Xiangwan waved his hand to open the restriction in his yard and walked in with Ye Zhenan.

Only then did he notice Ye Zhenan's solid cultivation, and a genuine smile appeared on his face.

"When did you attain Mahayana?"

Seeing the smile on Yu Xiangwan's face, Ye Zhen'an was also infected and felt a little better. He whispered, "Nine years ago."

Yu Xiangwan nodded. Considering his senior brother's understanding and talent, this time was reasonable.

Recalling what happened before regarding the Chengfeng Sect, Yu Xiangwan said.

"Brother, has there been any result regarding the Chengfeng Sect's furnace and cauldron?"

The two of them sat in the yard, and Ye Zhen'an frowned slightly when he heard this.

"The Chengfeng Sect has a very deep foundation. The Sect Master and his uncle are still making plans these years. I think it won't be long before they can uproot it completely, leaving them with no chance of recovery."

Yu Xiangwan took out a cup of tea from the orchid ring, poured a cup leisurely, and handed it to Ye Zhenan naturally as if he had done it thousands of times.

The tea mist is thick and the fragrance is pleasant.

"Brother, I suspect Zhang Jingxue is involved in the Chengfeng Sect incident."

Ye Zhenan paused with her bony, slender fingers gripping the teacup.

"Changning, you mean..."

Yu Xiangwan knew that Ye Zhen'an had already made the connection.

Zhang Jingxue has always believed that he killed his senior brother, and he even went against the will of heaven and went back in time to prevent them from returning to ten thousand years ago.

Since he and Ye Zhen'an went back ten thousand years ago together, there was no reason for Zhang Jingxue to only hate him.

Besides, doesn’t the appearance of the book “Cultivating Immortality in the World” explain everything?

They made Ye Zhen'an suffer hardships since childhood, allowing him to be bullied and humiliated by others, and then took the opportunity to make him and Ye Zhen'an stand on opposite sides without knowing it.

Then just let nature take its course, watch the fire from the other side of the river, and let them both suffer losses.

They only need to gently fiddle with his and Ye Zhen'an's lives and they will get the desired results.

It's like dropping a drop of ink into a basin of clear water. They just drop it and the rest will naturally develop as they expected.

Yu Xiangwan raised his eyes to look at Ye Zhenan, and reached out to gently cover his hand.

"The matters concerning fortune-telling and the words of the evil star are most likely manipulated by Zhang Jingxue and Yu Hui."

Although it had been a very long time, so long that Ye Zhen'an felt that he had never received the love of his parents in his life.

But when I suddenly learned everything, I still couldn't help but tremble.

Those nightmares, those unbearable things, turned out to be just life and death determined by others at will?

Yu Xiangwan saw Ye Zhen'an just looking down at the tea in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

But he just felt that no matter who had experienced what Ye Zhenan had experienced, they would not remain indifferent when they learned that all the harm was man-made.

In his opinion, Ye Zhen'an was just too sad.

So he walked forward gently, put his arms around Ye Zhenan, and gave him a tight hug.

Ye Zhen'an was caught off guard by the warm embrace. He was stunned for a moment, then reached out and hugged him back carefully.

He murmured softly.

"Changning..."

The moment Yu Xiangwan hugged Ye Zhen'an, he noticed his slight trembling and felt heartbroken.

Sure enough, even if his senior brother had already reached the Mahayana stage, anyone who wanted to provoke him would carefully weigh the consequences, but what he lost was lost forever.

Now that I think about it, I am really much luckier.

"Brother, I will accompany you in the future."

Ye Zhen'an knew that Yu Xiangwan must have misunderstood. Although he was sad, everything was over for him.

He thought that there was nothing more helpless than being bullied as a child and having no power to fight back.

He was just angry about having his fate controlled by others.

But he was greedy for the warmth he gave.

Never mind, let it be a misunderstanding.

Ye Zhen'an hugged the person in his arms tightly and murmured softly.

"Ah."

I realized that Ye Zhen'an was hugging me closer and closer, and I almost couldn't breathe.

Yu Xiangwan moved uncomfortably.

"Brother, are you feeling better?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen'an reluctantly let go of Yu Xiang'an, but still kept his eyes lowered.

"Much better, thank you, Changning."

Seeing that Ye Zhen'an was indeed much better, Yu Xiangwan sat back in his seat and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

Some doubts.

Why did Zhang Jingxue only think of solving the problem from the root and killing him during this retrospection?

This wasn't the first time he'd backtracked.

Does this mean that he has actually tried it, but just failed?

And this time of breaking through the boundary and going back was the last resistance. When they realized that what he did was all in vain and useless, they became desperate and forcibly tore the space apart, determined to wipe him out at all costs?

"Changning, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing Ye Zhen'an's voice, Yu Xiangwan came back to his senses and shook his head.

This matter has passed, there is no need for him to bring it up and make Ye Zhenan worry again.

"Brother, I wasn't thinking about anything, I just thought about A-Li."

Ye Zhen'an had no doubts when he heard this. After all, he had seen Changning's guilt towards Liu Shuli over the years.

"He formed a pact with Sang Yu long after he came out of the Nixing Sea."

"And later he came to Fuyao to see Aunt Yun."

Yu Xiangwan felt a little better after hearing Ye Zhen'an's words.

The two sat and talked for a while before Ye Zhenan left.

After Ye Zhen'an left, the smile on Yu Xiangwan's face faded.

He still couldn't understand why Ah Li had to go through all this. Hadn't he found a family named Zhao to adopt him?

Could it be that... everything I did was the same as Zhang Jingxue, and everything they had experienced?

And when he went back to the past, nothing changed.

After a long time, Yu Xiangwan finally sighed.

Although the results are not satisfactory, the current situation is good.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

Yu Xiangwan pursed his lips and stopped thinking about it.

Turn around and walk towards the Formation Peak.

"Changle."

Although Yu Jiaoyue knew that her brother had returned, she was still very surprised to see him.

"Brother, are you okay?"

As he said this, he checked Yu Xiangwan around.

Yu Xiangwan couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and followed Yu Jiaoyue's actions.

"Have you finished the checkup? I'm fine."

Yu Jiaoyue smiled and said, "I'm just worried about you."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your kindness, sister." Yu Xiangwan sat down in Yu Jiaoyue's courtyard and continued, "But, you really don't plan to accept a disciple?"

Yu Jiaoyue sat opposite her brother naturally and shook her head.

"If I don't accept it, I'll be free."

Yu Xiangwan asked, "Then what about the many formations you created?"

Yu Jiaoyue didn't think much about it and said, "I've already decided. Before I ascend, I'll sort them out and hand them over to the sect. That way, it won't count as the sect training me."
