Is she trapped in a cycle?

Here… Gu Xixi keenly realized that Shen Qingyan was already dead. The system had also said that Shen Qingyan of the Great Huang Dynasty was already dead… So this… is Shen Qingyan’s dream?

Or is it some kind of parallel world?

She remembered the old man who taught her martial arts saying that the teachers in the system were all people who entered the system to complete tasks and fulfill their obsessions because they couldn't let go of their own obsessions...

Perhaps this is also Shen Qingyan's obsession?

She thought about it for a moment. If it was a dream, could she control even a small part of it?

After all, she was conscious now... Gu Xixi then meditated and silently recited the mantra, and sure enough, the next second she was on a tree... According to her will, she instantly arrived in Qingfeng County...

Returning to the roadside, Gu Xixi decided to observe the situation first. She waited for the prison van to pass by, then sat in her previous seat and silently kept Shen Qingyan company.

It just so happens that she never knew about the path he had walked. He always gave silently, and she would just silently accompany him.

Having experienced what had happened before, when those soldiers came to insult Shen Qingyan again, Gu Xixi lightly flicked her sleeve, creating a gust of wind that blew all the water onto the soldiers' own faces.

The officers and soldiers were somewhat frightened, cowering and quickly left.

Lord Lu came over and checked that the prison cart was undamaged. The procession set off again, and in less than an hour, the procession left the territory of Xilan County. Along the way, regardless of whether it was sunny or windy and rainy.

Shen Qingyan sat silently in the small prison cart. He ate the steamed buns he brought with him on time, and was only given water once every three days. His lips were getting drier and drier, and his face was getting paler and paler...

But he didn't complain at all. Only when he occasionally saw the people of Xilan County chasing after him would a look of panic appear in his eyes.

Shen Qingyan was imprisoned in the capital's jail and locked in a dark, gloomy room. Every three or five days, he and Chen Yanxu would be dragged out and beaten, forced to confess to treason.

They beat him until he was covered in bruises and blood, then healed him, only to beat him again and threaten him... over and over again...

The two laughed until they cried blood, but they gritted their teeth and just laughed, refusing to admit guilt or complain of being wronged.

Gu Xixi stood to the side, her eyes brimming with tears. Her eyes burned, and her nose stung... Shen Qingyan had spoken of it so casually when he was rescued... She had never seen such things in modern times, nor had she imagined that such torture could be so cruel.

Recalling Shen Qingyan's smiling face at that time, her heart felt even more heavy.

Time flew by, and soon, the powerful families could no longer contain themselves. They forced Chen Yanxu and Shen Qingyan to put their fingerprints on the imperial edict, which was issued, ordering their execution three days later.

Gu Xixi frowned. This trajectory was different from reality... What followed might be the key to breaking the cycle.

She silently stayed with them in prison for three more days, following them all the way to the execution ground. Among the crowd of onlookers, Gu Xixi saw many familiar faces.

There were people from Qingfeng County, and people from Xilan County...

“Muzhi, it’s all my fault for dragging you into this. Your parents and family are all safely in hiding. If I hadn’t been in jail, you wouldn’t be here…”

“Teacher, I have no regrets. You are also my parents. A teacher for a day is a father for life. How could I abandon you? If I could do it all over again, I would still make the same choice.”

Gu Xixi stood behind them listening... So, let's just keep looping like this?

Shen Qingyan isn't a hypocrite, so this is his true thought, but he probably has more than one true thought...

“Muzhi, if I could do it all over again, I would rather you serve under the King of Zhen. He would be a wise ruler. Even if you rebelled yourself, I would not want to see you die so young…”

"Okay, teacher, I promise you, if we could do it all over again, I would rebel! Teacher, the lives and property of all people in the world are of utmost importance. If we could really do it all over again, I would not want to entrust my precious steed to someone else."

Shen Qingyan's face was covered in blood, her smile tinged with tears.

"Muzhi, let's do it again. Tell me your feelings for Miss Gu..."

"Teacher, I don't regret those unspoken words. Even if I could do it all over again, a thousand times over, I would still do the same. It's just a regret in my heart..."

"Execution!"

He and Chen Yanxu exchanged a smile, and the executioner raised his blade, staining the entire sky red... Gu Xixi turned her head away and didn't look, the scene before her eyes was torn apart once again.

With a flash of white light, she was back on the familiar roadside.

The procession of prisoners was getting closer and closer, and Gu Xixi still couldn't think of a solution. How could she take Shen Qingyan away and make him believe now... change his mind and rebel now... so that the dream wouldn't shatter and start over?

The procession of prisoners had arrived in front of her. Gu Xixi sat down and began a mental whirlwind.

The procession stopped again, and the insulting soldiers came over again. Before they could speak, Gu Xixi slapped them six more times, knocking them to the ground.

She couldn't bear to hear those insulting words directed at Shen Qingyan a third time.

The six soldiers were shocked, and Shen Qingyan was also somewhat surprised. She leaned forward slightly to look and chuckled softly.

The moment he leaned forward, the wooden doll in his arms fell to Gu Xixi's feet. Gu Xixi instinctively reached out to pick it up, and the instant her fingers touched the doll, she suddenly appeared in the prison cart, sitting opposite Shen Qingyan.

She saw the instant shock in Shen Qingyan's eyes, and she also saw the eyes of everyone around her focused on her.

"You audacious woman, where did you come from?"

"Help! Someone's trying to break into the prison! Help! Quickly!"

"She, she seems to have appeared out of nowhere, in this desolate wilderness, could she be a ghost?"

"Nonsense, she's obviously human."

……

She has a physical form now?

Gu Xixi raised her hand and slapped the soldier who approached to investigate hard across the face. The soldier's cheek swelled up quickly...

Gu Xixi's palms burned with pain... it was a real, tangible pain.

"Miss Gu, how come you suddenly... the puppet has actually become real? Are you real or fake?" Shen Qingyan's surprise was followed by deep worry.

Now that he is a convict, he probably cannot protect Miss Gu.

"That's the feeling, that's the feeling! We were just beaten up, and it was this woman who did it!"

The officer shouted, and he felt a familiar sensation, as if he had been beaten many times before.

Gu Xixi grabbed Shen Qingyan's wrist. "We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's leave first, and then I'll explain to you, okay?"

If Shen Qingyan agreed to it herself, then the dream shouldn't be shattered and reset, right?

“Okay.” Shen Qingyan nodded hurriedly. He had to get Gu Xixi out of here and prevent her from being caught by them.

Gu Xixi activated her lightsaber, cleaved open the cage, and with a thought, transported Shen Qingyan to the riverbank near the Fa Da Cai Inn in Qingfeng County.
