Gu Zhenyang came out after three years. He bought a manor outside of Divine Herbs Sect. He had even dismissed all of his concubines and children. He did not even meet them anymore.

Gu Zhenyang had a passionate heart and he loved many women. But now, he changed drastically for a woman and that woman was not her. How could Zhen Chengdie not be jealous?

Those events had happened in the past. She was old now. She was not that passionate about love anymore. So why did Gu Zhenyang still held onto that event and could not seem to let it go?

Zhen Chengdie clenched her fists tightly. There was cold sweat in her palms.

She retreated subconsciously and hoped that Nan Xian would not notice her presence.

However…

She was unable to escape when a strong force came over her from the sky. All of a sudden, Zhen Chengdie’s bones were crushed and she vomited blood. She was quite pale.

“Die’er!” The Fifth Elder’s facial expression changed and he shouted angrily. “Nan Xian, you better stop now!”

He was so angry that he rushed toward Nan Xian.

Nan Xian waved his sleeves and he drew swords out from strings. Numerous small swords formed under the convergence of the spiritual qi. Soon, the swords speared the Fifth Elder’s chest…

The Fifth Elder’s body froze and he stopped moving. He fell backward onto the ground with a thud.

There was a dead silence within the Divine Herbs Sect.

The man’s gaze was still calm and cold.

But, everybody who looked at the man’s calm face was frightened without any explainable cause. The sect master who was speaking arrogantly just now did not dare to speak anymore.

All of them fell into a deep pit of silence.

Zhen Chengdie knew perfectly well how strong her father was.

‘My powerful father could not even take his single attack.’

Her body went limp and she lay down on the floor. She was in despair.

“I just want to know…” Zhen Chengdie’s throat was dry. “What kind of relationship you have with Nalan Yan?”

Nan Xian remained calm. “She’s Qing’er’s mother.”

‘She is Qing’er’s mother. I’ll not let anybody hurt her!’

Zhen Chengdie fell into a deep pit of despair. She did not struggle nor did she say much. A feeling of regret filled her heart and she was in pain.

‘If…’

‘If I could do my life all over again.

‘I’ll not fall in love with Gu Zhenyang when I’m young.

‘I’ll not go and pursue Nalan Yan.’

But, there were no ‘ifs’ in this world. She needed to endure the consequences of the crimes that she had committed.

Zhen Chengdie looked at his father’s corpse and there was bitterness in her mouth.

She went after Nalan Yan that year and her father had approved of that. It was because the Divine Herbs Sect had always looked down on the reclusive world.

‘Now, my father regrets too…’

“Gu Zhenyang, I never got you that time. Similarly, you never got Nalan Yan too.” Zhen Chengdie laughed out loud. Tears ran down her cheeks while she was laughing. “You’re always talking about the crimes I did. Did you not do something wrong too? You hurt her family and people just to get her. I know what you have done all these years. I just never talked about it!”

There was deep anger in Gu Zhenyang’s eyes. He looked at Zhen Chengdie coldly.

There was a cold smile on Zhen Chengdie’s lips. “So, we’re the same kind of people. Sect Master, I want to sue him. He is plotting to destroy Liu Yun Kingdom all these years. He does not care about his status and he has made an attack on the secular world. He has disobeyed the law. He deserves to die!”

The sect master’s lips twitched. He rubbed his temples that were in pain.
