198: Let me tell you something you don't know.

"Huh?"

Ruan Qingshu, who was still in shock that the Great Xia Sword Immortal was actually a Rebirth candidate, suddenly looked up in a daze.

What the hell!

She and Ruolai were a couple in their past lives?

And she even dumped Ruolai to run off to the Desolate God Realm and marry Shen Pan?!

Setting aside the terrifying thought that she was actually a lesbian in her past life...

Why on earth did she have to go to the Desolate God Realm to marry Shen Pan!

However, Ruolai did seem a bit off!

She stopped Shen Pan from going to Sakura a few days ago, and she was extremely nervous when she heard he was going to the Desolate God Realm the day before... Was it because Shen Pan met with an accident in Sakura or the Desolate God Realm in their past lives?

So Ruolai intentionally avoided those places to change history?

Could she really be a Rebirth candidate!

Ruan Qingshu was stunned by this massive influx of information.

She couldn't tell if it was an illusion, but she felt that out of the four people in this room...

She was the one who knew the least!

???

I was abandoned? Qingshu and Shen Pan got married in the Desolate God Realm?

Jiang Ruolai stared blankly at the Great Xia Sword Immortal's confident expression.

This has to be fake!

Is she taking advantage of my lack of information to set me up!

How could she have been a lesbian in her past life! She was the noble Councilor Jiang!!!

"Don't talk nonsense! Qingshu and I are just best friends, there's nothing messy between us!" Jiang Ruolai hurriedly defended herself, feeling her character was being questioned.

Xia Zhaoyue feigned confusion and asked back:

"Then that's strange. Junior Sister Jiang, isn't it because:

In your past life, you were dumped by Ruan Qingshu, so you held a grudge and sought out Shen Pan early, wanting to cuckold your best friend?"

"After all, Ruan Qingshu left you behind to go enjoy herself with Shen Pan in the Desolate God Realm.

And your multiple attempts to smuggle yourself into the Desolate God Realm were unsuccessful."

"I thought that after your Rebirth, you would definitely teach Ruan Qingshu a lesson!"

"Ugh!"

Jiang Ruolai was effectively checkmated and didn't know how to explain.

Not wanting to expose the System, she could only vaguely change the subject.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I am a Rebirth candidate!"

Shen Pan: "..."

He had realized that this Senior Sister Xia seemed to enjoy fanning the flames and sowing discord!

And her way of speaking was so 'tea-like'—which Senior Sister Xia had corrupted her?

If Senior Sister Xia kept this up, all three of them would have their identities exposed today!

Though, besides being a Transmigration candidate, a System wielder, and the future [sorrow of no light]...

He didn't have many other secret identities to lose.

"Um... I have a question."

Ruan Qingshu, having finally sorted out her thoughts, looked up at her best friend, who was being forced into a corner, and the Great Xia Sword Immortal.

"Why did I have to go to the Desolate God Realm to find Shen Pan in the future?"

"Also... Senior Sister Xia, since you are also a Rebirth candidate, what was your relationship with Shen Pan in your past life?"

As for whether Ruolai wanted to cuckold her, she didn't mind at all.

After all, this time, logically speaking, she was the one cuckolding Ruolai!

Or rather, history hadn't changed; she still got to Shen Pan first!

Jiang Ruolai glanced at Shen Pan, who remained unmoved as if he had anticipated all of this.

An ominous thought flashed through her mind, but she still answered her best friend's question:

"In the past life, Shen Pan became the... ruler of the Desolate God Realm."

"And he was very strong, even stronger than the future Senior Sister Xia!"

Aha! You've exposed yourself!

A bright smile appeared on Xia Zhaoyue's face, her eyes curving into crescents.

As the [sorrow of no light], Junior Classmate Shen Pan couldn't be remembered even by her at the Mythic Rank.

She could only guess based on the abilities Junior Classmate Shen Pan displayed.

How could Jiang Ruolai, who was just an ordinary Legendary in her past life, possibly know that Shen Pan was the [sorrow of no light]!

Even before the destruction of Blue Star...

The perception of the [sorrow of no light] across the realms was that of a robber who appeared out of nowhere and drained the Desolate God Realm dry!

So Jiang Ruolai wasn't a Rebirth candidate, but an eighteen-year-old girl who had accidentally acquired some future intelligence!

"Sigh~"

Shen Pan, who had also seen through this, patted Jiang Ruolai's head with a look of pity.

She had indeed become a lot smarter, reaching the level of a normal middle school student.

But in front of a real Rebirth candidate like Senior Sister Xia, she was still too naive!

"As for my relationship with my junior..."

Xia Zhaoyue gave a provocative look to Jiang Ruolai, who was enjoying the head pat.

She snatched away the hand on Jiang Ruolai's head and placed it on her own 'front armor'.

Feeling her burning cheeks and racing heart...

Having eased her desires slightly and improved her mental state, Xia Zhaoyue answered in a deliberately ambiguous voice.

"In our past life, my junior and I were secret pen pals for several years~"

"Pen pals?!" Jiang Ruolai was dumbfounded.

She, who had successfully misinterpreted the term, suddenly lost her momentum.

She knew that when Shen Pan was in class, his favorite thing was chalk.

Because Shen Pan said chalk was firm and had a rough surface, providing more resistance and better feedback when writing.

For a professional like him who often attended class, using chalk had become a habit.

No wonder the System mission wasn't completed; it turned out she hadn't surpassed Xia Zhaoyue!

The Great Xia Sword Immortal had already been 'tasting the Demon God's cooking'!

Ruan Qingshu didn't participate in their secret rivalry and jealousy; instead, she fell into deep thought.

Shen Pan became the ruler of the Desolate God Realm in the future?

She also left Blue Star for the Desolate God Realm... "Is the future situation very critical? Is Great Xia... is Blue Star okay?"

The three of them, including Shen Pan, were taken aback and looked at the unusually serious Ruan Qingshu with some surprise.

This made Xia Zhaoyue, the strongest on Blue Star, feel a hint of shame.

"But twenty years later, the barrier of Blue Star disappeared, and we... lost!"
