Your brother's death is giving you a chance to live.
Upon hearing Feng Zhiyu's speculation, the System was not in a good state.
Who would have thought that the final System could unleash such immense power?
It caused it to suffer heavy damage, and only then did it bring the host to complete tasks in these Small Worlds.
There are also many restrictions.
"System, you had better pray that we are overthinking this, otherwise things are truly troublesome."
Feng Zhiyu sat in the corner and fell silent.
Chang Chun was dead.
Chang Xiangruo was not yet dead.
Yesterday's heavenly lightning caused it to suffer heavy damage.
It had not yet recovered.
Moreover, Li Shaoyang was still by her side.
If she could not complete the mission, her outcome would be no different from death.
"System, can you change the mission now?"
【Master, I cannot do that. Perhaps it would have been possible before.】
【Last time you insisted on absorbing Chu Xinghe's System. Who knew it would find so many loopholes in me and almost tear me apart.】
Feng Zhiyu's expression worsened upon hearing this.
She regretted insisting on targeting Chu Xinghe's System.
Otherwise, she would not be in such a sorry state.
Coming to this kind of world to complete missions, there were so many restrictions.
"Why are you so stupid? Can't you even complete an upgrade?"
【Upgrading is not that easy. You cannot even finish the mission, so what do I use to upgrade? When we came, I told you to be careful and not to underestimate anyone, but you thought your strength could crush everything.】
【Now that we are in a crisis, you blame me. You were the one who absorbed the System before, and now that problems have arisen, you blame me.】
【Remember, you are here to assist me, not the other way around. If you are unwilling, I will change to another person.】
"System, I was wrong. I was just anxious. Now we should stand united and not have internal strife."
【That is good to know.】
Outside, The Emperor and Ye Wuxin were watching Chang Xiangruo.
Chang Xiangruo was still holding Chang Chun's head and crying bitterly.
Upon her Rebirth, the first thing she did was cause her brother's death.
There was also hatred in her heart.
Her parents and older brother died in battle.
Leaving the two siblings to depend on each other.
Now her brother was also dead.
If you hadn't come, my brother wouldn't have thought about dying.
Is this how your Ye family treats the Chang family?
Chu Xinghe stood in the distance, watching Chang Xiangruo's expression change constantly.
He sighed inwardly.
You still don't know why your brother died.
A fool remains a fool even after Rebirth.
Once things change and do not match the events of her past life, she starts to panic.
If she had even a little bit of a big-picture perspective, she wouldn't have been so miserable in her past life.
Chu Xinghe guessed.
In her past life, Chang Chun should have been by the side of the Original identity of Feng Shaoyang.
Suffering for a lifetime.
And having to devise strategies for the Original identity of Feng Shaoyang.
Because he wanted his sister to live.
"Miss Chang, let's talk."
At this moment, Ye Wuxin said to Chang Xiangruo.
Chang Xiangruo's eyes became cold.
"My brother is dead; what else is there to talk about?"
Ye Wuxin frowned.
He stepped forward.
He raised his hand.
Slap.
With one slap, Chang Xiangruo was knocked directly to the ground.
The Emperor opened his mouth, then moved to stand beside Chu Xinghe.
The two of them looked like they were watching a play.
Chang Xiangruo covered her face, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Ye Wuxin actually hit her.
Why?
"Can we talk now?"
Looking at the ruthlessness in Ye Wuxin's eyes, Chang Xiangruo felt fear in the depths of her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Ye Wuxin felt even more disdain.
Is this what a person who experienced Rebirth is like?
Watching the two walk away.
The Emperor turned his head to look at Chu Xinghe.
"Immortal Master, when do you think those two will come out?"
Chu Xinghe looked into the distance.
There were two auras there.
"The Sovereign has already prepared other means, and still wants to give the Chang family one last shred of dignity, so why ask me?"
The Emperor sighed.
"You don't want to live, also because you want to take a group of people down with you, right?"
The Emperor's expression stiffened.
"Yes, they have forgotten their original aspirations, and some have even begun to collude with the enemy. Back then, they were all considered my brothers-in-arms."
"You say, these people... I have given them enough wealth and glory to last a lifetime, and even allowed them to pass it down hereditarily. Why can they not be satisfied?"
"Even the few who fought their way out from among the impoverished commoners have changed."
"Great Yan needs to replace a group of people, and it is most appropriate for me to be the one wielding the knife."
"My Great Yan is not suitable for Wuxin; he needs to create a Great Yan of his own."
Chu Xinghe looked at this person before him who possessed such courage, and shook his head.
"The First Prince, the Second Prince, those in the inner palace... you are truly able to bring yourself to act against them."
Ye Wuxin narrowed his eyes.
"My time is short. If I still had a long life ahead, I might hesitate, or even kill the third one; he threatens me."
"Fortunately, my lifespan is short, which is enough for me to complete these tasks."
"I must also thank the Immortal Master for helping Wuxin improve his strength."
Chu Xinghe nodded.
The distant Ye Wuxin turned his head to look at Chang Xiangruo.
"You seem to have a temper."
Chang Xiangruo did not speak.
Ye Wuxin's lips curled upward.
"Are you someone who experienced Rebirth?"
Upon hearing the words "someone who experienced Rebirth," Chang Xiangruo's pupils constricted.
Her body swayed, and cold sweat broke out on her back.
Looking at the expression in Ye Wuxin's eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head.
"Third Highness is joking; how could there be any such person who experienced Rebirth?"
Ye Wuxin sighed.
"You have already experienced Rebirth, yet you are still so stupid. No wonder Chang Chun sought death himself to trade for a chance at survival for you."
Chang Xiangruo suddenly raised her head.
She looked at the Third Highness in disbelief.
What did he mean?
"If you cannot even understand this much, then before your Rebirth, you were only fit to be a pawn, nothing more."
Chang Xiangruo stood frozen in place, her heart feeling as if it had been sliced open by a knife.
"Is it fun for the Third Highness to insult people like this?"
Ye Wuxin looked at Chang Xiangruo.
"When His Majesty granted the marriage, do you know why I agreed?"
Chang Xiangruo shook her head.
"Your brother begged me. He said his sister was someone without schemes, without the ability to calculate against others, and could not even defend a city."
"Everything before her eyes was dependent on the Sovereign's care. Without this care, the Chang Residence would be devoured by others in an instant."
"Thinking of General Chang, who was wise all his life and died for the country, I agreed."
"The Imperial Father and I constantly searched for various medicinal herbs, also wanting Chang Chun to understand that we had not given up on him, which was also his reason for living."
"You, as his sister, do not understand what he wanted more than I do."
"And your stupidity gave him release, and in this way, he traded the honor of the Chang family for one chance for you."
Chang Xiangruo stood frozen in place.
Her body went limp.
It seemed it really was her acting on her own initiative that caused her brother's death.
How could it be like this?
She had already experienced Rebirth; why was it still like this?
It seemed she had not changed anything.
She only knew some subsequent events in advance.
But now these things were also changing invisibly.
In the end, she discovered that she still could not change anything.
And even because she fancied herself clever, she caused her brother's death.
Causing the reputation of the Chang family to be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Ye Wuxin withdrew the complexity from his eyes.
He glanced at the corpse of Chang Chun in the distance.
"Since you are someone who experienced Rebirth, tell me about the things you experienced."
Chang Xiangruo raised her head.
This time she did not refuse.
What she was worried about was that the Third Highness would look down on her.
It turned out that after her Rebirth, the only person she could rely on was the Third Highness.
In her past life, without the Third Highness, she was nothing.
Pity that she had not seen through it.
"Very well, since the Third Highness wants to hear it, I will tell you."
