Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1478 Envoy
"So, Zixiu's signboard..." Hongtai couldn't help but look back when he heard Fang Zilan's voice, only to see her smiling self-deprecatingly with bitterness spreading around her lips, "It's been almost smashed a long time ago."

"Sure enough, you still remember." Bai Moci raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and tried to stand up straight, looking at Fang Zilan who was blocking the attack for everyone, "Long time no see, Zixiu."

He gnashed his teeth, Fang Zilan restrained her expression and asked loudly, "Iron-faced Judge Bai Chen, who are you?"

"It's my father." Bai Moci wanted to say something, but saw that Fang Zilan didn't look at him. The plum sword in his hand once again drew a silver light, tearing apart the opponent's killing move.

Like a torch, lighting up the night.

Although it was only a moment, it was enough to be shocking.

"Okay, I'll listen to Master Ran Deng this time." Fang Zilan didn't look back, her tall and straight back was resolute, "Today's Zhongling Temple is under the control of Bai Moci, you are the one who makes the decision."

Bai Moci was stunned for a moment. Before he could figure out what Fang Zilan meant, he saw her take a step forward and said, "I'll kill every one of you from Ghost Gate. As for these Jianghu people..."

She paused, "Bai Moci, you can do whatever you want. If you can't stop him, the destruction of Zhongling Temple is imminent."

Bai Moci pursed his lips tightly and said in a deep voice: "You, Zixiu, don't have to worry about the affairs of Zhongling Temple."

"Really?" Fang Zilan's figure flashed, leaving only her voice echoing, "Master Randeng, you were able to save Bai Moci back then. Can you still save Zhongling Temple today?"

Master Ran Deng chanted "Amitabha", but before he could make any move, Bai Mo Ci stopped him, "Master, no. If we let them in, what will happen to the people in the temple?"

Hearing this, Hong Tai turned around and saw some coarse cloth corners from the half-open temple door. No wonder Fang Zilan said to Bai Moci just now, "How do you know that I didn't come here for the people in the temple?"

Could it be that she had known long ago that Zhongling Temple wanted to kill people and silence them, and detained many people who had been oppressed and had their land seized in the temple?
No, if that was the case, why didn't Bai Moci let these people into the temple? Did he want to... protect the people in this temple?
"What are you standing there for?" A Wan hid behind Hong Tai and asked anxiously, "The ghost has arrived, why don't you go and help her?"

Hongtai took a deep breath, but ignored Awan's words. Instead, he shouted to Bai Moci, "Zixiu just said that it's up to you to decide. I want to hear how you decide."

Bai Moci tightly grasped the Judge's Pen in his hand and blocked the gate of Zhongling Temple. "Today, with me, Bai Moci, here, no one can hurt anyone in Zhongling Temple."

"In that case, I will help you." Hong Tai and Bai Mo Ci stood side by side, and A Wan stood behind him, saying in disbelief: "Help him? Are you crazy?"

"He is the son of Bai Chen. I am willing to trust him for this." Hongtai's voice seemed as light as a feather in the battle, but Awan still heard it clearly.

Bai Chen, the iron-faced judge who was once famous in the martial arts world, was killed by Zi Xiu because he injured the Wheel King Chu Bin. Was that night also like tonight, stained with blood and dark without end...

"Thank you." Bai Moci nodded slightly to Hongtai, then glanced at Master Ran Deng and A Wan behind him, "Please ask Master and the Crown Prince's wife to return to the temple."

"I..." Awan opened her mouth but could not say anything. She could only let Hongtai push her into the temple gate and watch him and Bai Moci standing outside the door, isolated from all the noise.

"Do you think that since you are the only orphan of the previous dynasty, Ghost Gate will not attack you?" Fang Chongzheng snorted coldly, "Then why did he die quietly in the northern border?" Fang Zilan's expression froze, and Fang Chongzheng's hand holding the teacup tightened a little, "At that time, Princess Wuqing was already in Hong'an Pavilion. Do you think Ghost Gate wanted an obedient puppet or a real orphan of the previous dynasty?"

"I..." Fang Zilan opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"What's more, if he wasn't stupid, why would Zhen Mingxuan rather offend the Xiahou family than save your life?" There was a hint of self-mockery in Fang Chongzheng's tone, and he suddenly mentioned Zhen Mingxuan, the owner of Cangjian Villa who had been brutally murdered, which choked Fang Zilan so much that she was completely speechless.

Fang Zilan pursed her lips and said after a long time: "I don't remember anything." The words with a tearful tone made people tremble.

She originally thought that she was filled with hatred and wanted to kill Ji Ningtian and get rid of the ghost gate. But after listening to the whole story, she felt indescribable sadness. At this moment, she finally understood why Fang Zilan wanted to die.

An erased past, an exploited identity, false feelings, countless lies... This is not something that anyone can endure.

She still remembered that when she first struggled between life and death after traveling through time, she thought of the words "I don't want to". The original Fang Zilan didn't want to get married, and she broke off her marriage just to clear her mother's name.

She once thought that her mother's status was low, so the Fang family did not allow her to enter the ancestral hall. Now she realized how ridiculous it was. How could a princess of Pingnan enter the Fang family's ancestral hall?
The clues in the intermittent memories were linked together, outlining the outline of the truth. Fang Zilan must have known all this a long time ago, which is why she had the impression that she wanted to end her relationship with Guimen and Ji Ningtian...

From the beginning to the end, whether it was the original Fang Zilan or her current self, the reasons that kept her going were all lies, and these were lies that would never become reality.

She dreamed of figuring out everything one day and returning to the world before she traveled through time. But now she was scarred and exhausted, and there was no possibility of returning.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

It's time to end this lie.

Seeing her pale face, Fang Chongzheng couldn't help but say, "Now that you know everything, what are you going to do next..."

"I have my own plans, so I won't bother you, Prime Minister." Fang Zilan suddenly interrupted Fang Chongzheng and stood up. "The Fang family has helped me a lot. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

She paused and said, "But if something happens to me, the Fang family doesn't have to help me. Just let me fend for myself."

"Fang Zilan." Fang Chongzheng called her name, and said in a dignified manner: "No matter what your background is or what you have been through, you are now the Duke of Yue in Dajing. Don't let hatred blind your eyes, or it will be too late to regret."

Is it too late to regret? Fang Zilan felt a surge of bitterness, blurring her eyes, but she still tried hard not to let the tears flow.

Fang Zilan had already regretted it, but now it was useless for her to regret. From the day she set foot on this path, she could not turn back.

At present, she is the Duke of Yue in Dajing. She stands in the undercurrent and walks through the chaos. It is her duty to guard the border and protect the people. In order to consider the overall situation, she cannot take action against Guimen and Ji Ningtian.

But one day, she will make Guimen and Ji Ningtian pay the price they deserve.
