The fire was brightly lit and the dogs were barking. All the villagers were unable to move as if they had been struck by a paralysis talisman.
They could only stare in horror at the two people who had suddenly appeared.
To them, such a scene was tantamount to a legend of ghosts and gods descending from the sky and stopping them with a wave of their hand.
"It seems that you are very interested in this little baby girl."
The Grand Palace Master of the Immortal Palace, dressed in green, seemed to be sculpted from the flawless moonlight. She was so beautiful that it was almost unreal.
She spoke softly and her voice was like the sound of nature. Her gaze fell on the baby girl in Gu Changge's arms.
"I just feel that she is destined to be with me."
"What a poor little girl …"
Gu Changge just shook his head gently. He raised his hand and a hazy light sprinkled in front of him. All the villagers who were frozen in place felt as if something was erased from their minds.
Their originally frightened and uneasy expressions became sluggish. Then, like walking corpses, they returned to their respective houses.
The baby girl's parents also seemed to have forgotten what had just happened. Their expressions were very sluggish as they turned and walked back to their houses.
"Even if you erase their memories, you are only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. Ignorance is rooted in their hearts and will break out again one day," the Grand Palace Master said.
"If such a day really comes, it is up to her to judge and decide whether she is ignorant or not."
Gu Changge just shook his head when he heard that. His tone was light and breezy.
"Let's go."
After saying that, he put the baby girl back into the house and turned to leave with the Grand Palace Master. The two figures disappeared into the horizon.
All of the villagers' memories of this night were erased, including the baby girl's parents, who also forgot about it.
The so-called bloody disaster and ominous omen disappeared from the minds of all the villagers.
"Master …"
"Whether she is ignorant or not, it is up to me to judge?"
Chan Hongyi looked at all this in a daze and muttered to herself. She somewhat understood Gu Changge's meaning.
That was to say, he wanted her to make a judgment one day after she understood all this.
She stood there in silence for a long time. Then, she composed herself and walked into the house again to look at the sleeping baby girl.
The baby girl was sleeping very quietly. Her skin, which had been bruised by the stone earlier, was already completely healed. It even had a lustrous glow to it, as if it was carved from jade.
If it wasn't for Gu Changge appearing tonight and saving her, she wouldn't have been able to escape.
Perhaps her parents and the villagers had long regarded her as a bad omen, and she had been burned to death or stoned to death.
He had already died here.
It was even more impossible to say what would happen in the future.
However, Gu Changge had never mentioned any of this to her. It was as if none of this had ever happened.
"Why didn't you ever tell me this, Master?"
"Not even a word of explanation?"
"What are you trying to do?"
Chan Hongyi asked. She knew that with Gu Changge's personality, everything he did had a purpose.
He would rather be misunderstood by her than tell her the truth.
"Master, why did you hide all this from me …"
Chan Hongyi's heart trembled. Her eyes sparkled as she suddenly thought of what Tao Yao had said to her.
After Gu Changge turned against the Immortal Palace and destroyed the heavens, if he really wanted to kill her, why did he only seal her and throw her into the Demon Burial Abyss?
Given Gu Changge's strength, if he wanted to kill her, she really couldn't even withstand one palm strike.
All this time, Chan Hongyi had felt that Gu Changge might have been soft-hearted and couldn't bear to kill her.
That was what she had been telling herself all this time.
However, after seeing all this, Chan Hongyi suddenly realized that she seemed to have misunderstood him all this time.
Many things were preconceived from the perspective of the enemy, but because of this, many details were overlooked.
After reincarnating, it was he who personally released her from the Demon Burial Abyss in this life.
Even during the encirclement battle in the Divine City, he didn't do anything to her. Instead, he schemed to attract many experts for her to devour to recover her Qi and blood origin.
When she fell into the Boundary Monument Sea, she pretended to be unconscious and forgot many things of the past in an attempt to poison Gu Changge.
But he still enjoyed it. Even though he knew that it was highly poisonous, he didn't refuse to swallow it.
…
Too many things came crashing down on Chan Hongyi like a tidal wave, leaving her rooted to the ground.
Only now did she realize that she had been taking revenge on Gu Changge all this time.
Even though he had unified the heavens of the Upper World and recovered his unimaginable and terrifying strength, he had never done anything to her.
"I've been taking revenge on him all this time. On the contrary, he has helped me many times in secret. He didn't complain about being misunderstood by me and silently accepted all this.
"And I've been trying to cause trouble for him …"
Chan Hongyi muttered. Her eyes were sparkling and her hair fluttered in the wind as she stood in the vast Void.
This fragment of the long river of time became even more unstable and was about to collapse.
She figured out a lot of things at once.
Why did the long river of time rebel? It was probably because Gu Changge sensed that she and Tao Yao risked their lives to step into it and might be buried here forever. That was why he came all the way here in an attempt to stop them.
And after she sank to the bottom of the sea, it was Gu Changge who appeared and brought her back.
As for why Gu Changge never explained these things, allowing her to misunderstand and hate him to the core?
Chan Hongyi guessed that this was probably a grand scheme of his own. He had his own considerations and calculations.
"If those bandits were really arranged by Master, then it would make sense …"
"But my intuition tells me that Master wouldn't do such a thing."
Chan Hongyi was certain.
Especially since Gu Changge and the Grand Palace Master of the Immortal Palace, Tsing Yi, had an extremely good relationship, as if they were bosom friends. Why would the two of them suddenly turn against each other?
It even led to the destruction of the Immortal Palace and the eternal heavens being buried together. The entire epoch fell into darkness and became a taboo.
This in itself was like a fallacy, and it was very difficult to explain.
Chan Hongyi felt that it was somewhat inconceivable. There must be some unknown secret hidden within, or just like today, the truth that she did not know.
Hum!!!
The flow of time before her eyes became blurry. This time, she did not reverse time, but followed the timeline like a bystander, witnessing many things that happened in this world in the past few decades.
Because Gu Changge's strength was unfathomable and unpredictable, even in this timeline, she could only vaguely see some shadows.
His entire body was shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see his true appearance.
However, Chan Hongyi was extremely familiar with him and could naturally determine who he was.
If another terrifying existence was fortunate enough to traverse the long river of time and come to this period of time, it would be impossible for them to know who Gu Changge was.
Fortunately, Chan Hongyi had such a special relationship with him, which allowed her to sort out many things.
From afar, she watched the baby girl gradually grow up and experience everything in her memory. Then, she became Gu Changge's disciple and followed him in cultivation.
But gradually, Chan Hongyi felt that something was wrong.
Because of her existence, there would be some unpleasant disputes between the Immortal Palace's Grand Palace Master Qing Yi and Gu Changge.
At first, it would be some teasing, but later on, she could feel that the Grand Palace Master Qing Yi was somewhat displeased with her existence.
And every time, Gu Changge would appear to be very casual and indifferent towards these problems, as if he did not take them to heart.
"Could it be because of this …"
She could not believe it, and her eyes widened.
Moreover, Chan Hongyi could not help but think of another matter. Could it be that the bandits that destroyed her village were arranged by the Grand Palace Master Qing Yi?
Was the purpose just to sow discord between her and her master?
Was the conflict between the two also because of this?
However, Chan Hongyi still did not believe it. She felt that this was different from the Grand Palace Master Qing Yi that she knew.
"Grand Palace Master Qing Yi is so transcendent, she can't be so narrow-minded. There must be a reason for doing this."
"She did this on purpose?"
