Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

No feast is complete without wine. Seeing the fine wine and dishes laid out on the table, Madam Sun took the first cup, poured a large toast, and said:

"It should have been done long ago!"

Now that things have come to this, it goes without saying that it's time for everyone to share their stories.

As the host, Manager Li naturally had to start the conversation.

His gaze slowly shifted to the first lucky audience member—Tianya Zi.

No, it should be Manager Wu Cang.

"Manager Wu, Mr. Wuyu's writing is indeed mediocre. I suppose Tianya Zi from your Qingzhai Collection would look down on such a thing and would disdain writing it?"

"you……!"

"Hmm? What's wrong, Manager Wu? Did I not entertain you well? Oh, it's all my fault. Look at your face, you don't even have a smile on your face. Are you not satisfied with the dishes?"

These two sentences are not without hidden meaning.

The veiled insults and sarcastic remarks were obvious to anyone with ears.

A young man sitting in the front row burst out laughing. His surname was Kong, and he had always disliked Tianya Zi, the author of Qingzhai Wenji.

Before reading the storybook, he listened to Manager Li and Manager Wu bickering. If he weren't mindful of his scholar's robe, he would have liked to chime in.

Now that I've finished reading Mr. Wuyu's new storybook, I feel even more confident.

Mr. Speechless is the best in the world!

Who is for and who is against?

In Master Kong's opinion, this Manager Wu is no good. After being criticized a couple of times, he simply turned his sleeves and left.

That shows a narrow perspective.

At least sit and listen to the whole thing, and see what else this hawthorn feast has to offer. That way, if you want to retaliate, you'll have a better idea of ​​what to do next.

Young Master Kong was the first to speak, raising a question that everyone was concerned about:

"At the end of the story, did Mingchi fall into an illusion, or did he really return to the past?"

Lady Sun can only accept one answer:

"That goes without saying, it's about going back to the past. The title itself says 'rebirth,' so it means being reborn."

Everyone agreed:

"That's right, and she also has the memory of the last time, which is equivalent to precognition, haha, just thinking about it makes me happy."

"I bet that in the upcoming plot, Mr. Speechless will definitely let Mingchi use his precognition to obtain a secret treasure, improve his cultivation, and yes, take revenge!"

"I have a question. Since I have regained my memories and returned to the beginning, why am I a menial servant in the outer sect?"

"Is that even a question? Ming Chi and Ming Wan probably started as outer sect servants in the last reincarnation."

"Listen to yourself, is that reasonable? If I were to live a second life and know what was going to happen next, how could I possibly just be a menial servant?"

Zhu Wuyao tried his best to avoid attracting attention, and nodded upon hearing this.

This is a good question.

In their previous life, Mingchi and Mingwan helped each other and performed exceptionally well in the disciple assessment of the Hundred Virtues Sect.

Little did they know that the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind.

Elder Lin looked at the two women supporting each other, his eyes sparkling with excitement. His great formation was about to be completed, but it was missing a formation soul. The formation soul that was to be refined needed to be resilient and never give up in life, and the younger the better.

Thus, Mingwan and Mingchi caught his eye.

In Elder Lin's eyes, the two had their own merits, making it difficult for him to choose between them.

Tomorrow night may seem gentle, but she is actually resolute. Once she decides what to do during the assessment, she will move closer to it step by step with unwavering determination.

Mingchi was younger and more lively, but he also had a hint of ruthlessness. Once he set his mind on something, he would fight tooth and nail to get it.

Elder Lin really likes them all. They are so sensible. Knowing that they lacked a formation spirit, they actually offered it to them on their own initiative!

Ming Chi was unaware of this matter.

When Elder Lin proposed to take the two of them as disciples, they were deceived and immediately acknowledged him as their master.

This very incident became the beginning of all the troubles.

In this second life, Ming Chi still intends to join the Hundred Virtues Sect, because it holds the treasures she desires.

However, you shouldn't stand out too much during the assessment.

Who Elder Lin ultimately chose as the array spirit is none of her business.

Everyone knows she is innocent, yet no one stands up to defend her. So how can she not stand idly by in this life?

That is why she must never let her sister know about her rebirth. It is a sin to see evil and not do good. She can bear it alone, so why should two people have to bear it?

Throughout her life, she only cared about herself and her sister.

After recalling the plot, Zhu Wuyao took a sip of wine.

Of all the people present, only I knew what happened next. Sigh, how lonely and isolated I felt.

Even Manager Li was too busy with the hawthorn banquet to watch the rest of the story.

The topic at the hawthorn feast had already veered off course; now everyone was discussing—

"If you could do it all over again, what would you do?"

Zhu Wuyao thought for a moment, then put down her wine glass. "If only I could do it all over again..."

It can't be done again.

Two roads lead to the woods. You choose one, but you always wonder what the other road will be like.

That's why Mingchi came to be, and that's why there's the saying—if seeing evil and not doing good is also a sin, why make two people suffer when one can bear it alone?

If Mingchi can start over, she can only move forward.

Sun Niangzi's voice came to my ears:

"I don't ask for much. I just want to be able to go back to ten days ago. I'll definitely buy a lot of hawthorns!"

As she spoke, she smiled and looked at Manager Li.

Although Sun Niangzi was a merchant who ran a jewelry shop, she was always well aware of the trends in Beixuan City.

Ten days ago, some people started buying up hawthorns in large quantities, which puzzled her, as there had never been such a sight in previous years.

Unexpectedly, I ended up eating one of them.

"Of course, I, Madam Sun, have no regrets in this life. Even if I cannot be reborn, there is nothing to regret."

Zhu Wuyao looked up at her and felt that she was someone he should learn from.

Li Yi, who was standing next to him, nodded and said:

"Li has acted with a clear conscience."

Zhu Wuyao glanced at him again and began to reflect on whether she had failed. According to the normal routine, shouldn't such words be said by someone like her, a transmigrator?

Fortunately, Young Master Kong spoke up in time to save her face:

"After you two said that, how could I, who fantasizes about living my life again and having a good time, possibly say it out loud!"

Many people present nodded in agreement.

Young Master Kong took a bite of the apple and continued:

"If I could be reborn, I would go to the places where cultivators roam and try to find a master for myself."

"If I could live my life again with all my memories, my father's orchard wouldn't have died of drought!"

The atmosphere became lively again, and Zhu Wuyao watched the excitement for quite a while.

To my surprise, someone called out my name.

"Young lady, I've heard you're a well-read reader. After reading Mr. Silent's stories today, do you have any insightful opinions?"
