I think my luck is turning around.

"Ren Pingsheng, there's a time limit to using objects to bring someone back to life, isn't there?"

An Ge hadn't even turned around yet, still looking in the direction Ji Xia had left, when she started asking questions. Ren Pingsheng looked at An Ge in confusion, wondering how she knew.

This technique can indeed attach the soul to an object, thus making it manifest. However, the duration is very short, at most seven days. For a permanent solution, it's called soul locking, sealing the soul within an object. The soul can be attached to the object for a long time, but it will take a very long time to manifest. Based on past cases, the fastest it could take is seven years, and the slowest is unknown.

"How did you know?"

"I know everything that happens in the world. How many days do you think it will take?"

"Seven days."

Upon hearing this answer, An Ge pondered for a moment. Only seven days? Then seven days to resolve this mess! An Ge's plan was clear: the six people present plus the snake—ideally, they could capture the kingpin directly; that would make things much easier.

An Ge suddenly turned to look at Ren Pingsheng and Song Tianqing and said, "This is something no one expected."

"You can't interfere in other people's cause and effect, or will you suffer a backlash if you interfere?"

An Ge's gaze was direct, staring straight at Song Tianqing. Song Tianqing also felt a slight panic and quickly looked away to avoid meeting An Ge's eyes.

"If that's the case, then it's not possible. It's alright, Lin Jingqing alone is fine, right?"

An Ge revealed the plan: they should just rush up to the King of Yanfei Kingdom and kill him. Seven days? Then they could control Han Renguan for seven days.

The next morning, Han Renguan appeared at the entrance of Shanshuijian. An Ge hadn't slept well the night before and woke up early. The things in the dream were too chaotic, and her mind was too confused.

An Ge was surprised to see Han Renguan standing at the door. What time was it? He had already arrived? An Ge glanced at the sun that had just risen on the horizon. If it was someone she missed, she naturally wouldn't want to wait even a second longer.

An Ge walked over, and Han Renguan, his eyes filled with anticipation, entered the mountain and water setting, only to find it remarkably quiet. Once inside the hall, An Ge began to speak rapidly and at length.

"The cultivators are still resting now, and they anticipated that you would arrive early, so they arranged everything in advance last night."

However, this trick is a form of resurrection, and it only lasts for one day. After today, your brother will be reincarnated.

This already breaks the causal barrier, and the cultivators have set up a barrier nearby to prevent the soul from disintegrating.

Be careful, you are also part of the cause and effect.

As she spoke, An Ge took out the white porcelain, and soon Han Jingguan appeared inside. Looking at his brother, Han Jingguan's joy was palpable. An Ge didn't care whether he was happy or not; she just looked at him.

“Your brother can’t leave here; there’s a risk of him being discovered if he goes out. You can only meet your brother here.”

Han Renguan looked on thoughtfully, saying nothing. Since there was only one day left, he would stay there for that day. He couldn't care less about anything else; his eyes were filled with joy and excitement.

Moreover, the entire hall was enveloped by a barrier, and the flow of time inside was also manipulated. How could he possibly get out so quickly?

Now let Lin Jingqing make his appearance! Han Renguan is here, so let's just dress up as Han Renguan and go in. But first, I'll ask my senior brothers and sisters for guidance; I learned all of this in one night.

Lin Jingqing learned quickly, mastering it after only two demonstrations. Transforming into Han Renguan's appearance, he swaggered out of Luyang Residence. Entering the palace was one explanation; the true killing required choosing someone. This person couldn't be Lin Jingqing, only Huang Lan. The cause and effect began with him, and it would end with him!

Half a day after leaving Luyang Residence, Han Renguan was summoned to the palace. This time, Han Renguan entered the palace with a follower dressed in Huang Lan's attire. Upon entering the palace, Huang Lan immediately realized how familiar he was with the place! He looked around; everything here was familiar to him.

Being led into the Imperial Study and watching as the people inside were cleared out, Lin Jingqing, disguised as Han Renguan, began to frown. What did this mean? Were they going to have sex with him inside?
