The improved female villains regained their memories.

Xu Anlu and Xu Anyin are twins.

Xu Anyin chose to be reborn at the moment of her birth, sacrificing her own physical death in exchange for the opportunity to have her soul reside in Xu Anlu's body.

"So, Yang Pingsheng, do you understand how terrifying your opponent is?"

"Without our intervention, according to the calculations of Heaven, Xu Anlu would have taken control of this country with the help of Xu Anyin, and then challenged the immortal sects, causing widespread devastation. Xu Anyin is cold-blooded, ruthless, and cruel. When dealing with enemies, she either wipes out their entire family or slaughters their entire clan. She personally orchestrated two tragedies: the Wentian Sect massacre, in which the entire clan was slaughtered, and the Imperial City massacre, in which sixteen royal siblings were killed, and she didn't even spare her own mother. She turned the female protagonist, Ling Yan'er, into a human pig, causing her to bleed to death."

The system's tone rose considerably. Xu Anyin, reborn, had too many advantages, and hiding inside Xu Anlu's body, she was impossible to trace. If Yang Pingsheng didn't stop it, the male and female protagonists of this world would be brutally murdered, and the world's will would collapse.

"Such a scenario must never happen," the system declared.

And then, right now.

The system's plan is set. Ling Shui'er and Xu Anyin, who are eavesdropping, will become pawns, at its mercy.

Yang Pingsheng really wanted to ask one more question: what did Xu Anyin experience before his rebirth, and why did he have to slaughter those immortal sects? But he didn't ask. His experiences in his second life were still echoing in his memory, and he didn't want to say anything more.

Let's finish this life quickly and move on to the next.

boom.

Yang Pingsheng snapped out of his thoughts, and the middle-aged woman put down the teapot with a crisp sound.

"Grand Tutor?"

"Sorry, I was daydreaming. What did you just say?"

“I said that Xiao Lu will be taken back to the palace by her mother in six months, and I want the Grand Tutor to give her a good lesson during these six months.”

"I see." Yang Pingsheng composed himself. "Will you come then?"

Ling Shui'er gave a wry smile and shook her head: "I have other things to do, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to come back within a year."

Then she said, "Grand Tutor, I entrust my daughter to you."

Ling Shui'er, this woman, is the true mother of the two sisters.

Why she entrusted her child to Ling Yan'er, and how Ling Yan'er managed to keep it a secret, Yang Pingsheng knew nothing about these things, but he thought it must have been a thrilling period.

However, it seems that Ling Shui'er doesn't completely trust Ling Yan'er either; otherwise, she wouldn't have come to her side for an extra layer of protection.

This last sentence was probably not spoken on behalf of Ling Yan'er, but rather on behalf of herself.

She has completed her mission and received a reply from Yang Pingsheng. Now, she wants to find another way out for her daughter.

"Grand Tutor, please accept this small token of my appreciation."

She handed over a small box, bowed, and took her leave.

The figure outside the window had disappeared. Yang Pingsheng opened the wooden box, inside which was a Six-Turn Mortal Transformation Pill.

Six-fold Immortal Elixir.

Yang Pingsheng slammed the wooden box shut and closed his eyes.

That's quite a feat. Ling Shui'er must have gone to great lengths to obtain this elixir.

She didn't even intend to use it on her own daughter; instead, she used it to bribe him.

“Ling Shui’er…”

Weren't those words spoken on behalf of Ling Yan'er just a test?

Benevolence and righteousness are truly excellent things. If I hadn't demonstrated this attitude, she wouldn't have felt comfortable entrusting her daughter to me.

A gentleman's promise is as good as his bond.

I just don't know what the system's purpose was in making me say those things.

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Great Method of Returning to the Soul

The night was terrifyingly deep.

Ling Shui'er said goodbye but did not leave. Instead, she went to Xu Anlu's room to see her daughter.

Xu Anyin must have realized it, otherwise she wouldn't have left so quickly. Hopefully, she can get back to her room before Ling Shui'er.

The system that had been eavesdropping transformed into a ball of light and flew out, waving in front of Yang Pingsheng: "Want to hear Ling Shui'er and Xu Anyin's conversation?"

Xu Anyin had just been lurking outside the window and used a powerful immortal technique. Although his aura was weak, he was still locked onto by the system.

Yang Pingsheng glanced at it, but didn't answer its question. Instead, he asked, "Did Xu Anyin know that Ling Shui'er was his mother before he was reborn?"

"Of course I don't know," the system said smugly. "Even if they were reborn, they'd probably be in complete chaos by now."

Bad sense of humor.

"What's next?"

"Of course we should prepare and confront Xu Anyin."

"Won't she kill me?"

"Of course not. In the timeline before her rebirth, there was no such person as you. Now that you've helped her find her biological mother, she's more than grateful to you. Why would she kill you?"

What do you want to do?

"Reborn people are so lonely," the system said with a grin. "Why don't you become a reborn person too?"

"?"

A new plan has emerged.

Yang Pingsheng felt a stomachache after hearing what the system said.

Xu Anyin possessed the talent for cultivating immortality before her rebirth, and later served as the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect. The system's plan began from there.

Just as Yi Tong finished rehearsing his lines, a knock sounded at the door. It was Xu Anlu's voice outside: "Grand Tutor, may I come in?"

"Come in."

The door opened, and the little girl walked in, her eyes red-rimmed. She lowered her head, walked to Yang Pingsheng's side, and began to speak incoherently: "Grand Tutor, my aunt is leaving. She said she's going to a very far place and might not come back for a long time. She told me to listen to you, Grand Tutor, and not to cause you any trouble. She said you would protect me..."

As she spoke, Xu Anlu's voice trembled, and she threw herself into Yang Pingsheng's arms: "Grand Tutor, my aunt cried. She cried before she left. Is the place she went to very dangerous? Will I never see her again?"

Yang Pingsheng patted her back: "Did she tell you?"

"Grand Tutor..." Xu Anlu looked up, her eyes filled with tears, a sight that evoked pity.

"She said it herself. She also said that I have to return to the palace in six months. Grand Tutor, can you come back to the palace with me?"

"why?"

"I... I don't like the palace, I'm scared..."

She buried her head in his arms again, crying and trembling.

Yang Pingsheng sighed and said, "Yin, it's rare to see you like this."

The trembling stopped.

The air was eerily silent; the night outside the window was deep, and the moonlight was completely blocked out.

She stopped crying and looked up.

"Grand Tutor, what did you just call me?"

-------

Rebirth.

Xu Anyin never imagined he would take this path.

Many years later, when she resided in Xu Anlu's consciousness space, she would subconsciously ask herself if she regretted it.

Regret?

Her answer was that she had no regrets.

She has witnessed much: the shattering of hypocrisy, the destruction of everything, and the burning end.

That was the scene she saw in the endless abyss.

What a scene that was!

In the palace of blood and fire, Xu Anlu lay on the ground, touching her cheek.

"I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."

"Run, Xiao Yin, run away..."

The martial prowess of mortals is a joke in the face of immortals.

Xu Anlu was exceptionally talented and honed her martial arts skills for many years, yet she was instantly killed by a single finger from an immortal.

How ridiculous.

Everything they had became a bargaining chip for that woman. Xu Anyin couldn't understand why his mother could be so cruel, not even sparing her own daughter for her own ambition.

"Xiao Yin..."

The image of that hand falling down and Xu Anlu dying was etched in his memory for the rest of his life.

She ran away, ran away like a piece of trash. She became a princess without a country, living like a beggar, and finally fell into a demonic cult, becoming a demonic saintess who controlled fire.

Just as her elder sister was very talented in martial arts, she was equally talented in the path of cultivating immortality. In the end, she became a true immortal, standing at the pinnacle of humanity.

But that adulterous couple also became true immortals, calling on the righteous path to eradicate her, the holy maiden of the demonic sect.

Years of pent-up hatred erupted, and Xu Anyin fought back desperately, but...

We can't beat them.

She can't beat him.

She couldn't beat that despicable couple on her own.

Not only this adulterous couple, but also the sect leader of the Wentian Sect, and many other immortals.

The righteous path of the world should be attacked by all.

She, a true immortal, was once again beaten into a frenzy, forced to flee in all directions. Her followers were slaughtered, and she was once again all alone.

Severely injured, she fled in a sorry state into a mountain cave, where a mysterious remnant soul awaited her.

"You're injured."
