A long time? Yeah, it has indeed been a long time since I last saw you. To you, it is but a fleeting moment, but to me, it is a thousand years of wandering in this world. I came to Fengdu to find your soul and ask the questions in my heart. But after hundreds and thousands of years, I didn't see you come, so I understood that your soul was also in the world, and didn't come here. But I never gave up and waited for you here quietly. I didn't expect that the Emperor would not disappoint those who have put in effort. Although it has already been a long time, I've finally waited for you … However, something that I did not expect, you are still alive after a thousand years. Could it be that you are immortal?

The woman's voice was fleeting, as though she was faraway. I couldn't see her face clearly, while I was hiding in the darkness, but the only thing I could be certain of was that this woman should be closely linked to Zi Lang. The reason why he waited here for a thousand years was to ask Zi Lang just one question.

When I first arrived here, I felt that the atmosphere wasn't right. I have also arrived here, and I'm being targeted as well? Prosecute me back then. Back then, I didn't die, but in the prime of the year, I sacrificed my life for my emperor and was sealed away. It was a chance for my seal to open, allowing me to open my eyes and see this brand-new world.

The woman seemed to be smiling bitterly as she shook her head. 'That was really a coincidence. Perhaps it was a mistake for me to have been waiting for you here all along.

But now that we've met, God has given me the greatest of blessings. What exactly do you want to ask me?

Zi Lang's tone carried a kind of indescribable sadness. At the same time, I had also been deeply infected by it.

The only question I want to ask you is, if you had the chance to repeat it, would you have continued with your choice?

This question was very serious, and even the voice that was already drifting was sonorous and forceful. It was loud and sonorous, and one could not ignore it.

This world doesn't have 'if', if you really want my dead heart, I can tell you, if time and space were to reverse and return to the time of the past, if I were to be able to foresee the consequences, I might have a different choice. But the current situation, although there are many regrets, I do not regret it at all.

The woman seemed to be moved by his words. After hearing them, her entire body began to tremble.

Good, what a lot of regret, but no regret at all. I hope you can keep your thoughts to your heart's content and carry this all to the end!

The death of your dear sister, my death, my father's death, and those countless innocent civilians. Your ambition was to become a tyrant, and that was what you accomplished by stepping on the bones of your loved ones?

Without a satisfactory answer, the woman seemed to get excited, her voice trembling.

Wan Er... If you really bear that grudge in mind, I'll apologize to you here. If that's not enough, I won't complain even if you kill me now. However, I hope that you can leave my name for a few days so that I can finish what I have to do and leave it to you.

Wan Er? This name sounded extremely familiar, it was unknown which book Li He Yue got from the Xishan Graveyard, and she had mentioned this name. It seemed like this woman was undoubtedly the daughter of the Prime Minister of Chu back then.

It has already destroyed my country. Isn't this what you want to do all your life? What, you have a obsession today?

Zi Lang nodded his head, yes, my actions back then had harmed many people. The reason why I came to Fengdu today was to let my sister have a good ending. When she was still alive, she had suffered a lot for me, so I did something that let her down, and even caused him to die. I hope that I can send her soul to be reincarnated. If you continue to chat about this wish of mine, then I will have nothing to linger on anymore.

That woman did not seem to be unreasonable. He did not become unreasonable because of his thousand years of resentment.

Alright, I believe you. You have always been a person who keeps his promises. If you go and do your work, I will wait for you here. When this is over, come back to me. We're dealing with the two of us.

Zi Lang nodded his head. It has been a long time and I have troubled you, don't worry, no matter what, I will give you an explanation. I have been out for too long, I'm afraid that others will be suspicious.

It was only when I saw him about to go back that I remembered that I had been secretly following him and hiding in the shadows to peep at him. He quickly turned around and ran back to the inn.

Actually, as an outsider, I have no right to participate in this matter. Since this is a feud between them, even if I were to run into them, it would be better to pretend not to know about it.

He followed me just now purely because he was afraid that Zi Lang might encounter some sort of danger? Afraid that someone would harm him? What if that woman was really his former lover? After all, I had seen the power of love before. Even though there was a deep grudge between them, that woman was unwilling to part with her man's life.

Wife, where did you go? I thought you were in danger after not returning for so long.

Don't speak so loudly, let me tell you, I just went to follow Zi Lang. When he delivered it, he felt that something was wrong with this place. It seemed that there was someone who was after him at all times. I saw that his behavior was abnormal, so I didn't follow him out. In the end, I really met the lover before him.

In other words, the daughter of Chu's Prime Minister? Could it be that for the past thousand years, he'd been wandering around like a ghost?

Seeing that his soul was not willing to disperse, and had only been waiting for Zi Lang, it was a pity that he did not know, that Zi Lang had already been sealed in the tomb of Chu, which was why he waited so long.

'Poor thing. Then, did there be any conflicts between them? '
