Sword said, "If that's the case, isn't Tang Zun clearly forcing us three brothers into a dead end?"
Knife frowned and replied, "Now we are considered part of the Tang family. This means the Tang family will also face retaliation from the Seven Lives Sect."
Sword continued, "But we've only just joined. The Tang family can easily pin this blame on us three brothers! When the time comes, if the Tang family denies it, it will have nothing to do with us, and we won't be able to do anything about it!"
Gun explained, "There's no need to worry about that. Tang Zun is a decent person; he's much better than the leader. I believe Tang Zun would never stoop to such despicable actions."
Knife agreed, "I also concur with what Second Brother said."
"Since that's settled, let's set off!" Sword said without adding anything further.
……
In a dark corner, a girl was sobbing on the ground, her long hair scattered around her.
" Ye Xiu, the prophecy had foreseen today's events long ago. Only when I am dead will you be able to survive..."
The girl was none other than Tang Luor.
With delicate hands, she took out a dagger from her waist. The blade glinted as she aimed it at her own heart.
Although Tang Luor was a Cultivator, she was merely at the Spirit Heart Realm, and a mortal weapon could still kill her.
The dagger's edge pressed against her skin over her heart and paused for a moment, a small red dot slowly oozing blood.
"Who!"
With a thud, the dagger fell to the ground, and Tang Luor felt only a slight surface wound on her chest.
"Why won't you let me die?" Tang Luor choked out.
At that moment, a figure emerged from the darkness, wearing a red dress...
As the person stepped fully into view, Tang Luor was astonished and stopped crying.
The person before her was none other than herself—an exact replica of her own face.
The last time she had seen this face from a distance, she had merely thought it looked remarkably like her own.
But now, Tang Luor felt that the person in front of her, in both presence and aura, was completely herself!
"You cannot die..." the other Tang Luor said calmly.
Tang Luor shouted, "Why? Who are you? Why do you look like me..."
"I only know that I am Tang Luor, but I don't understand why! I don't understand why everything has changed!" the other Tang Luor continued. "I have seen Ye Xiu, who is already dead; I have seen everyone from the Tang family who has perished; I have seen friends from the past—they are all still alive..."
"You... what are you talking about?" Tang Luor frowned.
Ye Xiu was alive and well, and everyone from the Tang family was fine. So why was she... dead?
Had she once died?
The other Tang Luor ignored her confusion and continued, "I think I shouldn't exist here; I don't know why. I might belong to another place, a world that is mine. But I have seen my beloved Ye Xiu, and that is enough for me."
"I originally thought this was my world, but in such a short time, the people I've met and the experiences I've had make me realize that I must have some mission for coming to this world."
Tang Luor tapped his left hand on his right, and a white jade pendant appeared on his palm.
"We are both Tang Luor, but I have experienced much more than you. I loved Ye Xiu once, but in the end, I was the one who killed him. Therefore, I hope you won't follow the same path as I did."
Tang Luor's form slowly faded into a beam of light, which gradually moved into the jade pendant. The pendant shone brightly, floating before Tang Luor.
"Tang Luor, you must believe me. After I disappear, give this jade pendant to Ye Xiu. I believe my mission in this world is to protect Ye Xiu at some point."
The light of the pendant grew stronger, dispelling the surrounding darkness until night turned into day.
Tang Luor's figure had completely vanished, leaving only the glowing pendant behind.
" Ye Xiu. In this life, I am not your protagonist. Tang Luor... will always love you..."
Tang Luor's voice faded away completely.
The light of the pendant also dissipated, and darkness reclaimed its dominion over the place.
Tang Luor held the pendant in both hands, still trying to process what had just happened.
His mind raced as he sorted through the vast amount of information.
The other Tang Luor was not from this world; in another realm, Tang Luor had killed her beloved Ye Xiu. But why would she do such a thing? She was willing to take her own life for Ye Xiu yet ended up harming him instead.
Putting that aside for now, what about the massacre of the Tang family?
And why did another Tang Luor appear in this world? What had she experienced? What mission did she have that transformed her into a jade pendant? Although he believed in the other Tang Luor, he would not recklessly hand over the pendant to Ye Xiu until he uncovered the conspiracy behind all of this.
In the past, Tang Luor would never have believed that there existed another world, one where everything was exactly like her own. But after meeting Mr. Liu, Tang Luor began to believe the words of the vanished 'Tang Luor'.
When her father brought her to say goodbye to Mr. Liu, everything around them froze, including time; only she and Mr. Liu remained unaffected. At that moment, she was filled with curiosity, especially since she was only eight years old. Then, like a creator deity, Mr. Liu took her on a journey across the entire world in an instant. Finally, he told her that another world existed, but that world had already disappeared...
She remembered Mr. Liu's words: "Same phoenix, same glory; when the dragon falls, the phoenix perishes."
Now she understood what "same phoenix" meant—it referred to the other Tang Luor from that vanished world. However, that version of herself was gone now, which meant that the prophecy must have been broken. Therefore, she could be with Ye Xiu without anyone having to leave.
At this moment, Tang Luor felt very happy. Aside from not fully understanding what had just happened, everything else seemed quite good.
Tang Luor took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, a charming smile blooming on her flushed face.
Right now, she desperately wanted to see Ye Xiu immediately and find a way to tell her father that everything was fine. As for how to do that, she would have to think hard because Mr. Liu had said that all information about the other world could not be shared with anyone, even with her closest loved ones.
Tang Luor recalled how she had cried when leaving Ye Xiu; at that moment, Ye Xiu had looked just as sorrowful, his worried gaze following her as she left. Yet Ye Xiu couldn't move an inch to chase after her because while he was comforting Tang Luor, she had used a spell to bind him.
At this point, Ye Xiu should be fine now; it was time for her to return and explain things to Ye Xiu.
