Chapter 148 Shock!

Xin Nian waved her arms and said repeatedly, "No, no, it wasn't me, it couldn't be me."

Those were all things the original owner did! Oh, she understood. The original owner was faking it. She pretended to be weak and crybaby every day, but in reality, she wanted to play dumb to take advantage of others.

What a clever little girl! She almost completely fooled her!
"It's you."

"Ah, impossible, impossible, impossible." Xin Nian denied it three times in a row, her expression serious and solemn. "It doesn't matter if I tell you the truth. Actually, I'm not the same person I used to be. The story is so complicated and bizarre that you might not understand even if I talked about it for three days and three nights."

"You came from another world."

Xin Nian was racking her brains trying to figure out how to explain her messy affair with the original owner of the body when she was startled by the words spoken by the two of them at the same time.

"What?"

“You explained it to us back then. You said it might be time travel caused by magnetic field disturbances.”

"It's also possible that your own soul has a compatibility rate of over 90% with this body."

"Or perhaps, it's a situation where different planes are merging, causing chaos."

"Hey, wait a minute. Is this what I told you?" Xin Nian stared at the two people in front of her with a look of disbelief.

"Yes, that's your exact words. Your Highness's basic meaning is pretty much the same." Chi Jue nodded with certainty.

Xin Nian stared at the two of them with a solemn expression.

She's starting to believe that these two aren't lying to her.

Otherwise, how could the prince utter such strange and bizarre words as magnetic field disorder and plane fusion?
What else did I say?

"Hmph." Chi Jue snorted coldly, "You also said that the spatial magic here is the origin, but we didn't understand it. You probably meant that you've made great progress in cultivating magic here, right?"

"You said you wanted to use this spacetime to bury something...some location, build some kind of spatial bridge, to leave yourself and your family a way out. That's roughly the idea, right, Your Highness?"

His Highness the Crown Prince nodded, his expression serious.

"I really said that?" Xin Nian stared at them in disbelief. "I was ten years old?"

impossible!

When she was ten, she was still playing around and messing around at school, not understanding anything.

But when she heard Chi Jue say this, it sounded very real to her.

Could it be that their entire team's journey through time was orchestrated by someone other than a specific opportunity?
It's a perfect storm of favorable timing, location, and human factors—everything is in place.
"Think again, what else did I say?"

"You've said so many things already," Chi Jue rolled his eyes at her disdainfully. "How could I possibly remember so many right now?"

"Did I tell you how old I was back then?"

"Yes. Around twenty, I think. Later you went to Ya Yun Lou to steal wine and drink. You mumbled about it when you were drunk." Chi Jue said decisively, "And when you were beating others, you were always cursing. What were you saying, you bunch of little brats? I just didn't want to argue with you."

Xin Nian: ...

What's going on? It really does feel like her usual style.

"Let me calm down." Xin Nian waved her little hand, scratching her head and looking a bit puzzled.

If—and she meant if—it's true, as they say, that she came here five years ago.

Where was the original owner back then? Did the original owner die five years ago?
"You two..." Xin Nian looked at them with a troubled expression, "Do you know the former Miss Xin Liu?"

"Of course I don't know him."

“In the past, Miss Xin Liu never left her home and would never wander around, let alone disguise herself as a man to go to Ya Yun Lou.”

"Wait, wait, let me sort this out first." Xin Nian felt that even her good brain was almost not enough.

First, she was around twenty years old in modern times, which was likely a year after the apocalypse, before she had mastered spatial abilities.

Secondly, they meant that she had transmigrated into the body of ten-year-old Xin Liu. The original owner, poor thing, was very likely already dead back then! So, for the past five years, she'd been doing nothing but crying, because…

"I ask you, is there anyone among you who possesses that... soul magic? Soul magic!"

"My older brother."

Who's your older brother?

"You've even forgotten my older brother!" Chi Jue gritted his teeth. "Back then, you were always clinging to him, even closer to him than His Highness. You even said you two were the best of friends in the world. He's your brother, and you're his sister!"

"I..." Xin Nian felt a little guilty for some reason, "Did I say that...?"

"You said it! But now you're denying everything! You're just... just a scumbag!" Chi Jue was filled with resentment.

Xin Nian: ...

Yes, it's true what she taught them—the terms "scumbag" and "scumbag woman" don't exist in this day and age; she must have spread them…

Therefore, it is very likely that it was Chi Jue's elder brother, Chi XX, who helped her by leaving behind a fragment of his soul, which was enough to support the original owner's daily life.

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why someone who died five years ago has been acting like a normal person for the past five years.

"Who else do I know?"

"You know a lot of people!"

"You're still holding me back, my eldest brother, the third young master of the Lu family, the second young master of the Shang family. And that other guy..." Chi Jue's accusing gaze shifted to His Highness the Crown Prince.

His Highness remained expressionless. "Zhou Linchuan."

"Oh right, that gloomy guy from the Zhou family insisted on forming a sworn brotherhood with the Peach Garden Six!"

"Wh-what?" Xin Nian suddenly burst into laughter.

"You still have the nerve to laugh? You don't remember anything, what are you laughing at?" Chi Jue cursed angrily.

Fortunately, all the sounds were contained within the spatial walls and did not escape.

Xin Nian was glad she had set up spatial isolation from the beginning; this was something she really couldn't let anyone else know about...

"Zhou what?"

"Zhou Linchuan, what's Zhou about him?" Chi Jue was annoyed by her terrible memory.

Xin Nian couldn't stop laughing. "This name sounds familiar."

"Oh, I only recognize the name Zhou Linchuan, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, but I don't recognize the others."

"Oh, it's him." Xin Nian remembered. He was the young man who had caught up with their group of convicts earlier, trying to capture the eldest son of the Si family to make amends.

"Hahahaha." Xin Nianzhen never expected that she had done something so outrageous.

Seeing Chi Jue staring at her resentfully, the Sixth Miss's laughter gradually faded, and she coughed lightly.

"I... I don't know what happened either. It's possible, I mean, possible, you know, some kind of spacetime disorder caused...partial amnesia. That's normal."

"Normal as hell!"

Xin Nian laughed again, "Okay, okay, it's my fault, I admit my mistake. Well, I still need to sort this out. As for you guys, words are no proof. What evidence do you have to prove that I was here at the time? Without evidence, it's very likely that you're lying to me."

Chi Jue was furious and conjured a round spatial bead out of thin air. "Does this look familiar?"

Xin Nian opened her mouth, her gaze completely drawn to the dazzling condensed bead in his hand.

She reached out to take it, but Chi Jue quickly pulled his hand back, coldly replying, "It's mine."

He wore an expression that said he was not interested in watching.
