I see Qingshan

Chapter 107 My own path
Zhangzhu smiled gently: "No need to thank me. You have inherited the power of hope from the Yellow Emperor, and you bear the hope of the world. Once even you are bewitched and embark on an irreversible wrong path, this world will be truly overturned."

Tang Xin looked at her parents, whose faces had regained color and who seemed to be fast asleep, and felt a cold sweat all over her body.

Others may not know what happened just now, but I am aware of it.

Even though she was mentally prepared, knowing that her parents might be killed by Chi You, who had possessed Qin Ying's body, and understanding Chi You's schemes, when this scene actually happened before her eyes, she was still almost filled with hatred. She was just one step away from losing control of her mind and being taken over by Chi You.

If Zhangzhu hadn't foreseen the future and devised a plan, she would have inevitably followed the same path she had taken several times before when she retraced her steps.

After failing to catch the pearl, the monkey returned and saw the pearl being treated. It said, "Pearl, do you know that what you are doing will cause you to completely disappear..."

Zhangzhu chuckled softly, "I'm already dead. It's worth it to be able to save more people now."

The monkey seemed to want to say something, but in the end, it didn't utter a word. It simply nodded, looking carefree, and sat down beside the pearl in its palm: "So be it. My time is almost up. Having such a close friend as you in this life has made my life worthwhile."

Upon learning that the pearl had vanished as a result, Tang Xin's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Is there any way to remedy this?"

Both the pearl and the monkey had helped her so much, and she didn't want anything to happen to them.

The pearl in its palm said, "I am merely a will. Even if I do not act today, I will not exist for long. As for the little monkey, it was born at the beginning of time, and now its lifespan is coming to an end. Any means are useless. Perhaps one day in the future, it will be born from the stone again."

Tang Xin frowned deeply, feeling uneasy and unsure of what to say.

The clever monkey took out the wine gourd that Tang Xin had given him from his waist, took a big gulp, and smacked his lips: "It smells so good... Little guy, take your parents back first, let me talk to Zhangzhu for a bit, okay?"

Tang Xin knew that the clever monkey wanted to whisper something to the pearl because he didn't want her to be a third wheel.

"Okay, I'll come back later and bring you some good wine!"

After saying that, Tang Xin left with her sleeping parents.

Watching Tang Xin's departing figure, Zhangzhu murmured, "I hope that this time, she can walk a path that belongs to her."

The monkey took another sip: "We've already started."

……

The next day, after seeing her parents wake up, Tang Xin booked two more plane tickets without saying a word and forcefully took them to the airport.

Although it may not be safe outside, it's still better than staying in the inn.

After seeing her parents off, Tang Xin went to the backyard, patted the pine tree, and said, "Are you there?"

Qingsong: "What's up?"

Tang Xin: "Are you the Yellow Emperor?"

Green Pine: "I am your ancestor."

Tang Xin: "..."

That being said, something still feels off.

Tang Xin: "I know everything!"

Qingsong was silent for a moment before laughing and saying, "With your clever mind, you must have left a backup plan in the mountains and seas when I erased your memories. You must have seen the information you left behind when you went to the mountains and seas this time. I'm not surprised."

Tang Xin nodded and asked curiously, "How many times did I use the power of time to rewind on a large scale?"

Qingsong thought for a moment and said, "Five or six times, but unfortunately you will still retain the memory after going back, and you will repeat the wrong path you once walked. I have no choice but to erase your memory."

Tang Xin was secretly astonished, never expecting that she had retraced her steps so many times.

Tang Xin: "I don't think I had the ability to communicate with plants and animals before, so why this time..."

Qingsong smiled and explained, "No, in the past you were full of hatred, so I thought I'd let you interact with the flowers, plants and animals, and feel the peace of nature. Don't think about eliminating all the special creatures all day long. Look how beautiful nature is."

Tang Xin: "..."

Just how far did she go that even the Yellow Emperor had to grant her the ability to communicate with plants and animals to experience nature?

Without dwelling on the issue too much, Tang Xin voiced all her doubts. The answers she received were almost identical to her previous assumptions.

In the previous rewinds, Xuanwu did not intervene. To ensure that nothing went wrong, the Yellow Emperor released Xuanwu from under Feilai Peak.

With Xuanwu present, the barrier was broken prematurely, making the timeline vastly different from previous rewinds.

Later, guided by Xuanwu, they encountered the Palm Pearl, which could break the deadlock...

Tang Xin stared at Qingsong: "Why do I feel like you and Chiyou are playing chess, and I am the rook on the chessboard?"

Upon hearing this, Qingsong coldly replied, "Nonsense, you at least have to be handsome!"

Tang Xin: "..." Isn't that still a chess piece?

After a moment's thought, Tang Xin said, "Go and deal with Chi You!"

Qingsong was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Me??"

Tang Xin nodded: "That's right, you are the Yellow Emperor. Didn't you defeat Chi You back then? Why not defeat him again? Don't tell me this is the mountain guardian's business and that you chose not to take action just to test me!"

Qingsong's voice was somewhat embarrassed: "If I had this ability, would I need you to tell me? I'm just a guardian will, while Chi You is a remnant soul. You want me to deal with Chi You?"

Tang Xin: "..."

After learning that Qingsong was the Yellow Emperor, she wondered countless times why Qingsong didn't take action directly. She considered many possibilities, but she never thought that he was no match for Chiyou!

Tang Xin sensed something was off, her expression strange: "Yesterday, Chi You ran away as soon as he heard your voice; he was clearly afraid of you..."

Qingsong said, "Therefore, once Chiyou realizes he has been tricked and comes to his senses, he will definitely make a comeback. As my descendant and the guardian of the mountain who hopes to inherit the divine power completely, you must deal with Chiyou."

Tang Xin: "Me??"

Qingsong: "What else? I can't beat them anyway, and besides... don't you have a lot of companions?"

Tang Xin: "..."

She discovered that whether it was Qin Ying, Xuan Wu, or even the second-generation mountain guardian, they all harbored deep hatred for Chi You.

And now, these people are all around me.

Tang Xin even suspected that this might have been arranged by the Yellow Emperor long ago.

"Qin Ying is back..."

Xuan Wu walked into the courtyard and addressed Tang Xin.

Tang Xin left the backyard and went to the living room.

Qin Ying, who looked like a teenager, was sitting at the front desk. When Tang Xin appeared, Qin Ying asked with a hint of doubt, "Where are your parents?"

"Hold it down!"

At Tang Xin's command, Xuan Wu and Black Bear immediately stepped forward and firmly restrained Qin Ying.

Qin Ying said coldly, "What do you mean?"

The others ignored Qin Ying and, after a thorough examination, discovered that he was not Chi You, and then released him.

Tang Xin: "You don't know what happened yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ying shook her head: "A piece of memory is missing. Could it be that phoenix causing trouble again?"

The black bear explained, "That's not a phoenix, it's Chi You! He's taken a fancy to your body!"

Qin Ying: "Chi You? Didn't he perish in ancient times?"

Tang Xin: "Do you remember when you were young, being chased by a phoenix, and a crimson streak entered your body...?"

As Tang Xin finished speaking, Qin Ying's indifferent eyes suddenly narrowed, and he stared at Tang Xin in disbelief: "How did you know!"
