In a daze, Lotus Sun woke up. Her consciousness was clear, and she could still remember what had just happened.
That's right …
In order to save someone, they had linked up with Zhang Zisteal's body like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandpa.
Then, in the blink of an eye, her body began to twitch as if she had been electrocuted, and a mysterious force pushed her soul out of her body and into a mysterious vortex.
When she woke up, she found herself covered in bandages and lying in a place full of light.
Boundless light shone in from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and fell on the side of the bed. The vermilion gauze curtain, which was embroidered with the mark of the Vermilion Bird, fluttered in the wind.
Lotus Sun immediately realized that she had entered an unknown territory. Just as Monk Jin Deng had said at the beginning, they had probably fallen into the world outlined by the mysterious text together …
"What should I do?"
Lotus Sun got up, and very quickly realized that this body wasn't hers.
This was because she could clearly feel that her chest had become much heavier. This shouldn't be something that someone her age should be able to do.
So even if she didn't look in the mirror, she clearly knew that she wasn't her real self right now.
Only her soul was her own.
"Ying 'er … Ying' er … are you there?"
The strong sense of unfamiliarity made her feel a little uncomfortable. She tried to call out to Sun Yinger, but she didn't respond at all.
Could it be that because this body didn't belong to her, the shadow also didn't belong to her? Was that why she couldn't resonate with Sun Yinger?
Or perhaps Sun Yinger had also entered this world constructed by the mysterious text and was playing a certain role?
For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, she could feel that the resonance between her and Mysterious Sea was still there, and she was on standby.
As long as she wanted to, Mysterious Sea could still be summoned to protect her at any time.
But she didn't dare to act rashly now.
"If the world here is like what those seniors said, a world of the past outlined by the Primordial Ones, then the Primordial Ones …"
"Then everything I do here that goes against the course of history might change the future."
Closing her eyes, Lotus Sun lay on the bed, calmed her thoughts, and analyzed the situation at hand.
Her top priority was to know who her role in this world was.
"Since you're awake, stop pretending. The Emperor spared your life, but it doesn't mean that the rest of us have forgiven you. "At this moment, a young and magnetic voice sounded out from the side.
Ye Ren, the white-robed chief steward of the Great East Emperor, slowly walked out from the side door. His footsteps were very light, and his clothes were slightly messy. It was obvious that he had just finished dealing with some important matters, and then he came here looking travel-worn.
"Where is the Emperor?" Lotus Sun asked. She was merely playing along with the conversation, mainly to find out her identity.
"Jiaoyang, you don't have the right to take the initiative to meet the Emperor," Ye Ren said solemnly.
The blazing sun?
So, this is her name?
Moreover, judging from the current situation, Lotus Sun felt that this blazing sun must've made a mistake. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been beaten to this state.
The most likely outcome was that Jiaoyang had fought with the Emperor mentioned by the white-robed general manager. Then, at the critical moment of life and death, the person called the Emperor had spared Jiaoyang's life.
After waking up, she'd entered the body of Lady Jiaoyang.
However, entering the body wasn't the key.
The key question now was how she was going to return to the original real world …
"Sorry, I don't remember anything."
Helpless, Lotus Sun could only feign ignorance. She couldn't pretend in this situation, and it would instead give people clues.
Thus, amnesia was always a very effective excuse.
Since it was amnesia, it wouldn't be too strange for her to behave differently from before.
"You've committed a heinous crime, and you want to use amnesia to cover it all up?"
Ye Ren laughed. He clasped his hands behind his back and stared at her. "You should be able to move now, right? Get up and follow me to a place. The Emperor wants to see you later. "
Lotus Sun had no choice but to comply. After all, she couldn't do anything that would go against the course of history.
At this moment, her body was wrapped in layers of bandages, and she looked like a walking mummy. Ye Ren threw a robe at her, and after putting it on, she looked even more indistinguishable from a ghost.
This slightly startled Lotus Sun.
She looked woodenly at Ye Ren. "Senior, what I've committed is a crime punishable by death?"
"Hehe, I can't believe I'm able to become your Goddess Jiaoyang's senior. It seems that you really don't remember anything."
A meaningful smile appeared in Ye Ren's eyes. "In the past, you were so arrogant and would never be so polite to others. Jiaoyang, compared to the current you, I admire your wild and unruly self more. "
"You still haven't answered my question," Lotus Sun said solemnly.
"That's right."
Ye Ren nodded slightly and looked at her. "Since you don't remember anything, I'll tell you. You colluded with the Great Western Emperor and led a group of Western Regions royalty in an attempt to rebel. This debt is enough for you to die ten million times over. "
As he spoke, Ye Ren led Lotus Sun through the long winding corridors of the palace. All the guards here had been withdrawn, and Lotus Sun saw that her surroundings were in a mess. There were broken walls and rubble everywhere, clearly traces of a recent battle.
The style of the room just now was clearly quite modern, but now that they were on the periphery, it was actually in the style of an ancient palace. This made Lotus Sun even more amazed by this mysterious world.
Since this mysterious text had come from the hands of the ancient one, Lotus Sun deduced that she might be trapped in the world of the ancient one.
As he led Lotus Sun away, Ye Ren said, "At present, only I know that the Emperor chose to spare your life in the end. I hope that you won't make any more disobedient moves, otherwise not even Dao Ancestor Wang will be able to save you."
"You've also seen the Emperor's supreme light, Mahamayuri, that's an invincible existence …"
"So in the eyes of others, I'm already dead?"
"You were burned to ashes by Mahamayuri's light. This scene was seen by everyone in the Eastern Regions, otherwise it wouldn't be enough to appease the common people," Ye Ren said.
After walking for about ten minutes, the two finally arrived in front of a locked palace. This was a relatively well-preserved building in the Great Eastern Emperor's palace after the war.
Lotus Sun thought that Ye Ren would directly open the door, but to her surprise, he didn't take out the key. Instead, he grabbed the palace's spirit lock and began to study it.
In the end, he slowly took out an iron wire from his sleeve …
“？？？”
Lotus Sun was stunned.
The other party was clearly the Emperor's man, so why would he use an iron wire to open his own palace?
In that instant, realization dawned on Lotus Sun.
She stared at Ye Ren's back and asked tentatively, "Um … may I ask if you're Senior Xiang Yi or Senior Zhang Zipei?"
As soon as she said this, Ye Ren's figure clearly froze.
Then he turned his head back in shock. "I'm Zhang Zipei, could it be that you're … Miss Lotus Sun?"
