Chapter 276: The White-haired Witch

"Wuqing, I know that asking you to give up your hatred is a very unreasonable approach, but I sincerely hope that you can think about it carefully." Zhuge Zhengwo said to Wuqing again.

"Give up your hatred? Then the lives of dozens of people in my Sheng family will be thrown away in vain?" Wuqing couldn't help but glare at Zhuge Zhengwo again.

Zhuge Zhengwo sighed: "Wuqing, I know, I know how you feel, and I can understand your feelings, but every family has its own small and big families-"

"Okay, Lord Shen, I don't want to continue talking. I'm tired and need to rest." Wuqing didn't want to say anything more. She felt very tired at this moment.

On the one hand, Zhuge Zhengwo, whom she regarded as a father, not only did not support her revenge, but also wanted her to give up her hatred, which made Wuqing very sad.

On the other hand, Zhuge Zhengwo's words really made Wuqing entangled. Wuqing may appear calm and aloof, but her heart is warm. She couldn't bring herself to kill the emperor to avenge her family, thus devastating the Song Dynasty. So, she's exhausted, deeply exhausted.

Zhuge Zhengwo watched Wuqing leave, saying nothing. He knew she needed time, but he also had complete trust in her. He knew she wouldn't be blinded by hatred. It just took time to adjust.

"Uncle—" Tieshou remained kneeling on the ground, watching Wuqing leave, then looked up at Zhuge Zhengwo beside him.

"Tieshou, don't worry. Since Wuqing stopped you from committing suicide, it means she's let go of her hatred for you. She just needs a little time," Zhuge Zhengwo said.

Hearing Zhuge Zhengwo's words, Tieshou breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief. He had been hiding this matter, like a knot in his heart, a torment. Now that he'd spoken, no matter how things turned out, he at least felt less exhausted.

"Iron Hand, I want you to investigate the two people who just arrived," Zhuge Zhengwo said to Tie Shou.

"Uncle, do you suspect they have ill intentions?" Tie Shou immediately realized.

"Well, after all, this matter concerns the Emperor, and you understand how important the Emperor is to our Great Song. I don't know how they've approached Wuqing and leaked this to him. If they don't have some ulterior motive, I simply don't believe it," Zhuge Zhengwo said seriously.

"Okay, Uncle, I'll investigate them right away." Tie Shou nodded solemnly.

...

Ye Xiu didn't witness what happened in the Divine Marquis Mansion.

However, Ye Xiu had actually considered this outcome.

After all, in the original novel, Wuqing gave up the opportunity to kill the emperor for revenge.

However, no matter what Wuqing chose, it was Wuqing's decision.

If Wuqing insisted on seeking revenge, Ye Xiu would naturally help Wuqing. If Wuqing chose to give up his hatred, then Ye Xiu wouldn't have the audacity to assassinate the emperor to help Wuqing avenge his fate.

Even if Wuqing chose revenge, but the situation was dangerous, Ye Xiu would still give up. He wouldn't risk his life for such a thing.

Ultimately, Ye Xiu's fondness for Wuqing stemmed primarily from the movies he'd seen before his time travel, and secondarily from his admiration for Wuqing's beauty after meeting her in this world.

Beyond that, any other feelings simply didn't exist.

Ye Xiu had only met Wuqing twice, and even that was the only time they'd spoken. To claim a sudden, deep affection was a joke; it was more like lust at first sight.

After leaving the Divine Marquis Mansion, Ye Xiu and Lian Nishang casually wandered around the capital. Lian Nishang's beauty caused them some minor inconvenience and trouble,

but these inconveniences and troubles were resolved almost immediately, preventing further complications.

This was largely due to Lian Nishang's ruthlessness and immense strength, which had dissuaded many would-be troublemakers.

Afterward, Ye Xiu and Lian Nishang returned to the An Mansion.

Because they hadn't deliberately concealed their whereabouts, when Tie Shou began to investigate Ye Xiu and Lian Nishang's whereabouts, he didn't have to spend much time to find out that Ye Xiu and Lian Nishang had gone to the An Mansion.

...

"You mean, Lian Nishang and the other person went to the An Mansion after leaving the Shenhou Mansion?" Zhuge Zhengwo frowned.

"Well, the two of them wandered around the capital for a while and then returned to the An Mansion. The guards at the An Mansion didn't stop them at all after seeing them, as if they were very familiar with them." Tie Shou nodded and added.

"It turned out to be someone from the An family! Although the previous case of making fake copper coins has been closed, there seems to be a black hand behind the scenes, and it also points to the An family, right?" Zhuge Zhengwo said thoughtfully.

"Yes, uncle, Wuqing found a lot of clues at the time, all pointing directly to the An family, but when we were halfway through the investigation, someone suddenly jumped out and took all the blame, and the An family was not affected at all." Tie Shou nodded and said.

"It seems the An family really has some nefarious plans!" Zhuge Zhengwo couldn't help but sigh.

"What are they planning to do? They're already the wealthiest family in the capital, with An Shigeng even being hailed as the God of Wealth. What exactly are they trying to achieve by doing all this?" Tie Shou frowned, seemingly unable to comprehend the An family's intentions.

"What? Yeah, what exactly are they planning? First, they're creating counterfeit copper coins to disrupt the Song Dynasty's economy, and then they're targeting the Emperor through their ruthless tactics. From all these signs, it's clear that the An family is plotting—" "

Huh?" Tie Shou couldn't help but exclaim. "No, that's not right. The An family may be wealthy, but that's all they have. They can't possibly go that far?"

"Who knows? Perhaps they have some other tricks up their sleeve. Tie Shou, from now on, keep your full attention on the An Mansion. I want to know their every move!" Zhuge Zhengwo said with a serious expression, even a hint of murderous intent.

"Yes, Uncle!" Tie Shou immediately obeyed.

Seeing Tie Shou start to get busy, Zhuge Zhengwo's expression relaxed slightly. The reason why

Zhuge Zhengwo started to arrange so many things for Tie Shou was actually to distract Tie Shou's attention. Tie Shou's attention was focused on keeping an eye on the An family and collecting all kinds of intelligence about the An family. This would consume a lot of Tie Shou's energy, so that Tie Shou would have no more energy to feel guilty.

...

"I went to the Shenhou Mansion today and met Wuqing."

"Well, Wuqing is quite beautiful--"

"Ahem, well, I gave Wuqing the Shenzhaojing. After she practices the Shenzhaojing, she should be able to stand up."

"Then, I also told Wuqing the murderer of the Sheng family's massacre."

"In fact, I can't remember a lot of details now. Anyway, I seem to remember that the Sheng family massacre was related to Tie Shou and Zhuge Xiaohua."

"But it doesn't matter if I can't remember clearly. Anyway, Wuqing has the ability to read minds. As long as Wuqing wants, he should be able to find out a lot of things."

"But after the investigation, whether Wuqing will seek revenge is hard to say."

"How should I put it? Wuqing is still too kind. I don't know if she will consider any family and national affairs. If she doesn't consider these, it's not bad to just want revenge."

"I'm afraid Wuqing will consider family and national affairs. After all, the death of an emperor is absolutely very important to the Song Dynasty." "

In the original movie, Wuqing didn't kill the emperor anyway. The emperor was even in front of Wuqing at the time, and even when it was just the two of them, Wuqing didn't kill the emperor in this situation."

"So now, Wuqing is strong enough to really be cruel."

"So, people who think too much are not happy. People who are too broad-minded are also not happy."

"Just like Wuqing, who would give up the revenge for the extermination of her family because of some family and national affairs."

"If it were me, I would never think so much. I would take revenge for my hatred and grievances, and I would not consider others."

"After all, if I consider others, who would consider me?"

"Forget it, let Wuqing do whatever she wants. Anyway, no matter what, it's her business, she can make her own decision."

"Come to think of it, writing a diary now feels a bit awkward."

"Before, I didn't know that other people could read my diary, so at that time I just wrote casually, complained casually or even cursed people, it didn't matter, it was very casual, and I felt comfortable writing."

"But now, after knowing that many people can see my diary, I feel a little hesitant to write, and I care about other people's feelings after reading the diary."

"Damn it!"

"Dongfang, Yaoyue, Rong'er, Master's wife, Little Junior Sister, Lianxing... I can't go back to Huashan for the time being, so don't worry too much about me. I'm doing pretty well now. At least nothing will happen for the time being."

"I will deal with the things here in the Song Dynasty slowly. The main thing is to improve my strength. I will improve my strength slowly, and then we can talk about other things after my strength is improved."

"According to my current situation, it may not be long before I can become a celestial being. Then I will go back to Huashan. Then I will beat that Pang Ban to death."

"By the way, I write a diary. Besides being able to read my diary, are there any other benefits?"

"I can increase my strength by writing a diary. Do you think a diary can increase my strength--" "

It should, right? I remember that Rong'er's strength was not that good back then, but now it seems to have become very good. This should be thanks to the diary."

"No wonder I can increase my strength every day with the diary, but I still can't catch up with Dongfang and Yaoyue. It turns out that you also use diaries to increase your strength!" "

Thank goodness you can understand me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would still be in a passive position in bed."

"And Zhu Yuyan, how are you doing over there now? Did you miss me after I left? You came to me saying it was for the Heshi Bi, but I think you didn't do it for the Heshi Bi at all, but you were just after my body. Hahaha!"

"Now that I think about it carefully, I found that there were many strange and even unreasonable things before, but if you can see it in the diary, then many things become reasonable."

"I remember when we were in Nanjing, Shangguan Haitang approached me on her own initiative-are you also someone who can see my diary?"

"Think about it, it seems that I didn't write much about you, Haitang, in my diary."

"Then let me add a few words."

"Actually, the part about you, Haitang, is mainly about your adoptive father, Tiedan Shenhou."

"Tiedan Shenhou Zhu Wusi was originally an unappreciated prince, and it seemed that he was not very good at martial arts. When he was traveling around the world, he met the undefeated boy Gu Santong."

"Gu Santong is quite naughty. After he found the inheritance of the Tianchi Weird Hero, he obtained the power-absorbing technique and the Vajra Indestructible Body Technique. But he took Zhu Wusi there again, pretending that it was his first time, and then passed on the power-absorbing technique to Zhu Wusi." "

Then Zhu Wusi saw Gu Santong's childhood sweetheart, Suxin, and fell in love with her at first sight."

"In order to get Suxin, he began to target Gu Santong. He used the power-absorbing technique to directly absorb the martial arts of the masters of the eight major sects in the world, killed them, and then put the blame on Gu Santong. But Gu Santong, knowing that he was framed by Zhu Wusi, did not deny the false accusation, and eventually became a demon that everyone hated."

"Then Zhu Wusi stood up and began to challenge Gu Santong in the name of eliminating demons and defending the way."

"When Zhu Wusi and Gu Santong were fighting at the most critical moment, Su Xin appeared and she wanted to stop the two of them."

"After seeing Su Xin, Gu Santong stopped. But Zhu Wusi was too late to stop, and in the end half of his palm hit Su Xin's body and half of his palm hit Gu Santong's body."

"Gu Santong was defeated, and Su Xin was dying, with only one breath left."

"Gu Santong was imprisoned on the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison, and he could not escape because of the stele of the Tiedan Shenhou."

"Su Xin was saved by Zhu Wusi with Tianxiang Cardamom and turned into a living dead."

"In order to completely revive Su Xin, three Tianxiang Cardamoms need to be taken. Zhu Wusi has not been able to find the remaining two, so Su Xin has been frozen in the Tianchi." "

Then there is Zhu Wusi, who is bent on rebelling and becoming emperor. He has trained subordinates such as the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, and has colluded with Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami. He also has leverage over the ten generals on the border. Who knows if he will rebel one day. So Shangguan Haitang, you have to be careful."

"Oh, by the way, Tiedan Shenhou has many other plans. He doesn't trust any of you, the four spies of Tiandi Xuanhuang, and he will target you one by one."

"As for how to target Duan Tianya and the others, I won't talk about it, mainly because I have no interest in them."

"Well, let's stop here for today. Let's talk about Haitang first, and the others later."

Ye Xiu looked at the messy diary and couldn't help scratching his head. He knew that his diary writing skills were quite poor. He had thought that others could not see it before, so he wrote casually. Now that he knows that others can see it, he wants to work hard to write better, but finds that he can't seem to do it.

In the end, he simply gave in, writing whatever he wanted. After all, he'd already written so many diary entries before, and they already knew his level, so there was no need to put on an act.

But thinking about his fantasies about his master's wife and all that random stuff in his diary, Ye Xiu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

He was even a little thankful that he wasn't at Huashan right now, otherwise he'd feel the humiliation of being publicly executed.

...

"Ye Xiu, what will happen to me in the future?" Lian Nishang asked, looking at Ye Xiu.

After Ye Xiu wrote about Shangguan Haitang in his diary today, Lian Nishang approached Ye Xiu, intending to ask him about her own future experiences.

It wasn't just Lian Nishang who wanted to ask; Ruyan and even Ji Yaohua also wanted to ask.

It was just that their strength wasn't comparable to Lian Nishang's.

Their favorability ratings were also lower, so they were forced to take a back seat to her.

"What happened to you later—" Ye Xiu scratched his head. "After that, everything went haywire. You won't be able to experience it again."

"Huh? What if I hadn't—hadn't known you, what would have happened to my life?" Lian Nishang understood what Ye Xiu meant. She knew that her life had been completely changed because of the diary.

But Lian Nishang now desperately wanted to know what her life would have been like without the diary.

"Well—" Ye Xiu hesitated slightly. After all, Lian Nishang was his woman, and he felt somewhat reluctant to discuss the relationship between his woman and other men.

"Did I meet another man?" Lian Nishang saw Ye Xiu's expression and immediately understood why he was acting this way.

"Well, you met a Wudang disciple named Zhuo Yihang. Zhuo Yihang was escorting his father or grandfather back home to retire, and you robbed him. When you saw Zhuo Yihang, you fell in love with him at first sight."

Hearing this, Lian Nishang understood why Ye Xiu had seemed so reluctant. However, Lian Nishang was also curious about what kind of person Zhuo Yihang was that made her fall in love at first sight.

"Is Zhuo Yihang more handsome than you?" Lian Nishang asked.

After all, Lian Nishang also fell in love at first sight after seeing Ye Xiu, and even knowing that Ye Xiu had other women, she still wanted to take Ye Xiu back home to be her husband.

"No, he's probably not as handsome as me." Ye Xiu was quite confident about this.

"Not as handsome as you? Then forget it, continue, continue, what happened after I fell in love with Zhuo Yihang at first sight?" Lian Nishang asked with a smile, leaning in Ye Xiu's arms.

"You fell in love with Zhuo Yihang at first sight, and Zhuo Yihang naturally fell in love with you the same way. However, Zhuo Yihang was a disciple of a famous and upright sect, and he thought you were evil, so he took the initiative to break up with you. Then your hair turned white overnight, and you were called the White-haired Witch. Well, you were quite miserable and lived a miserable life." Ye Xiu used the Spring and Autumn style of writing to ignore a lot of content, focusing on describing how Lian Nishang was betrayed, and then her hair turned white overnight, becoming the White-haired Witch.

"Huh?" Lian Nishang was a little surprised.

"Really, if it weren't for me, you might have white hair by now." Ye Xiu said seriously.

"Really? You are not lying to me?"

"Why would I lie to you? You were betrayed by Zhuo Yihang, and went to Wudang to find Zhuo Yihang, but Zhuo Yihang stabbed you in return. You were so sad and desperate that your hair turned white."

Lian Nishang's face darkened: "Zhuo Yihang, I want to kill this man."
