The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

Only Luo Jingqian and Han Cuiyin remained in the cave.

“Don’t worry about Redwood. She has your protective jade bead on her, so she has nothing to fear from anyone she encounters! Besides, this is her home, and she knows the Pinglian Mountains better than we do. Perhaps she can find out news about my uncle.”

Seeing that Han Cuiyin was frowning, Luo Jingqian offered her some words of comfort.

Han Cuiyin bluntly asked, "Have you ever doubted my background?"

"Of course I have! But everyone has secrets, and I don't have the habit of prying into other people's lives. What I can say for sure is that you are still you, just with some extraordinary encounters."

Luo Jingqian removed his mask, revealing only that black face in his dark pupils.

"My soul spent a thousand years in another world. When I returned, time had reversed by three years, returning to the moment when my destiny was about to change."

"Stop talking! Eat some silverfish!"

Luo Jingqian stopped her from continuing; he had a premonition that what followed would be a sad story.

Everything he saw in the Time Array was real.

“After I married my former husband, I had a lot of bad luck every day, but every time I was in a life-or-death situation, a man would come to save me. But he didn’t come when I was about to be drowned in a pig cage.”

Han Cuiyin ate a few silver fish and drank a few mouthfuls of spiritual wine, finally stopping the signs of her body collapsing.

Luo Jingqian pursed his lips, his expression somewhat tense. "Who was the one who saved you in time? Why didn't they come that time?"

He was somewhat unsettled. When he rushed over in the great array of time, Han Cuiyin was lying on the ground, soaking wet, along with the pig cage, and was silent.

"I don't know who he is; I've never seen his face."

Han Cuiyin looked nostalgic and said softly, "During those difficult years, because of him, my days weren't so hard to endure!"

She looked forward to meeting him every time, and once they met, she had someone to confide in.

"Princess Mingxia appeared generous on the surface, but she treated me harshly behind my back. Her dowry was all show and no substance, and the last few hundred taels of silver she kept at the bottom of her chest were only worth a few hundred taels."

“My husband has many women in his backyard, but he never shows his face. Those women have nothing to do all day but fight each other in the backyard.”

"Although I am the mistress of the house, I do not have a family to support me. Those people are of noble status and are far superior to me, a woman who has been abandoned."

"I just don't know why they chose me as their legal wife; I don't understand the deeper meaning behind it."

Han Cuiyin lowered her eyes and finished speaking, looking somewhat sad.

In her past life, she was just a weak young woman who suffered all kinds of bullying.

The young men who approached her were either instigated by Han Yueshi and the Third Prince to ruin her reputation, or they simply wanted to marry her as a concubine.

However, due to Han Zhen's power, no one dared to do it openly.

Princess Mingxia had spread the word that the Han family did not like her, the daughter of a discarded wife, and those纨绔子弟 (sons of wealthy and powerful families) were eager to make a move.

Those people had long coveted her beauty, and Princess Mingxia always took her out, all in an attempt to sell her for a good price.

Later, when she was harassed by a playboy, it was Luo Jingqian who came to her rescue.

At that time, Luo Jingqian was sitting in a wooden wheelchair and could no longer walk.

He didn't recognize her as the girl from Yanjia Village in the Pinglian Mountains.

Since arriving in the capital, even though the fabric of her clothes is not good, her whole person has changed.

She wanted to live a good life, so she fought and struggled in the Han family, and even if others said a few words about her, she would not change her mind.

It's perfectly normal that Luo Jingqian didn't recognize him.

That time, Qinghe pushed Luo Jingqian in a wheelchair; he was wearing a mask.

They didn't recognize each other, so it's hard to say who was right and who was wrong.

At that time, Qinghe had no smile on his face, but a cold expression that exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

The next news I heard about Luo Jingqian was that he was critically ill.

Princess Jinghe has already arranged for him to marry a woman to bring good luck, with one wife and six concubines entering the household together.

When Luo Jingqian was healthy, Princess Mingxia had mentioned marriage arrangements for their children to Princess Changyun.

When she learned that he was not going to make it through, Princess Mingxia remained unusually low-key.

Unfortunately, Princess Changyun came knocking, and there was no escaping it any longer.

Princess Mingxia had no choice but to agree to marry Han Yueshi into the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

At that time, Han Yueshi and the Third Prince were on good terms. She suggested to Princess Mingxia that Han Cuiyin marry in her place, and the mother and daughter made it happen.

When Han Zhen found out, he didn't try to stop it.

Originally, Han Yueshi was only a concubine when she married into the family, but after she entered the house, she inexplicably became the legal wife.

The fact that the Han family had arranged for the daughter of an abandoned woman to marry in place of her was also made public.

Considering what the Han family had done, she felt that nothing she did was excessive.

"Am I the sickly one?" Luo Jingqian's voice was low, and his eyes reddened.

"The world is full of truths and falsehoods; maybe it's just a dream of mine. There's no need to worry about it." Han Cuiyin didn't say anything more.

All of this is left unsaid.

Within the Great Array of Time, he experienced some things and learned about Han Cuiyin's past.

"What's wrong with you two?" The atmosphere in the cave was incredibly heavy as soon as Redwood returned.

Han Cuiyin was the first to compose herself and asked, "Have you taken care of things on your end?"

The redwoods have many mammal and bird companions in the Pinglian Mountains, and they are the first to know what is happening in the Pinglian Mountains.

"There's nothing to worry about with me taking action. We can just wait here peacefully. If we can find out my brother's whereabouts while we're at it, that would be even better!"

They didn't have time to ask about Bai Yuan's whereabouts.

The look Lianyao gave Hongshan before leaving sent chills down her spine.

"There will be good news!"

Han Cuiyin offered comfort.

It must have been Bai Yuan who returned to the cave earlier.

Lianyao used some methods on Bai Yuan to track him down; otherwise, she wouldn't have gone crazy in the cave.

Thus, the two humans and the fox lived peacefully in the cave for several days.

When the sound of birdsong came from outside, the red fox went out to investigate.

"With so many people coming here, the Yan family's secret is likely to be exposed," Han Cuiyin thought uneasy.

She is probably not strong enough to exert her full strength now; her body would not be able to withstand even the slightest movement.

If this body collapses, her soul will eventually dissipate into the world.

"If things really come to a head later, hide behind me and find a chance to enter the Longevity Scroll. Don't worry about your uncle's safety, I'm here!"

Luo Jingqian thought she was worried about Yan Dali's safety, so he comforted her.

"Don't rush forward blindly when the situation is unclear."

When Han Cuiyin was powerful in the Longevity Realm, she naturally went forward carrying a wooden fish.

When they were still weak, they would pretend to be weak to take advantage of others and defeat them one by one.

Otherwise, how could a Buddhist practitioner like her be known throughout the entire continent as the Emerald Rakshasa?

"There was a strange phenomenon in the sky!" Sequoia rushed in, somewhat incoherently. "My parents once said that their rapid increase in strength that time was due to a strange phenomenon in the sky."

"What strange phenomenon?" Han Cuiyin was somewhat skeptical. The spiritual energy here was thin, and anything that was born required a great deal of spiritual energy. Could it be a trap?

“I don’t know, that’s what the birds said.” Redwood still couldn’t hide his excitement. “Why don’t we go too? That location is only a few dozen meters from where your uncle went missing.”

Han Cuiyin had originally intended to observe further, but changed her mind, "Perhaps there's some connection! Let's set off now."
