Chapter 2700

"After Qingyun was saved by the flames, her fate has been obscured. We do not yet know the reason, but this also indicates that how her path of destiny unfolds from now on is her own affair. No one can control it anymore." Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi and smiled helplessly.

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly upon hearing this: "In that case, this Qingyun is still worth saving."

"Wife, she is of the Wood attribute," Yan Aohan reminded her.

Zhu Yanyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Are you saying I should cultivate her?"

"Why not? Those whose fate has been altered are usually favorites of Heaven," Yan Aohan said.

Zhu Yanyi pondered slightly: "I will consider it."

The Four Kings and Eight Ministers indeed needed people, but not everyone was suitable for these positions.

Zhu Yanyi knew her identities were numerous, so her affairs were naturally many. The Four Kings and Eight Ministers not only reflected her status but, more importantly, existed as her assistants.

Because she understood this, she could not choose the Four Kings and Eight Ministers lightly.

"I will try with this Qingyun. If it works, I do not mind giving her a position," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

The Four Kings and Eight Ministers did not necessarily all need to know medical arts, but knowing a little was good. At least, self-preservation would not be an issue.

When Qingyun woke up, she looked around. She found that she had returned to the age of fourteen, but she seemed to be in a strange place.

Qingyun sat up. Then, a red fox entered: "You are awake?"

"You can speak?" Qingyun was stunned. It was the first time she had encountered a talking fox. At least, in her previous life, she had not.

Yes, Qingyun had been reborn. In her previous life, she had taken revenge for herself. The only regret was that she had not found her younger brother. However, there had been clues. She knew her brother was in a major sect, but unfortunately, the Hong family discovered her. In the end, she died by self-detonation.

She shook her head slightly. She still did not know her current situation. Why was she here in this strange place when she should have been in the Hundred Changes Forest?

"I am a divine beast, so naturally, I can speak," Huoyan said with a proud expression. "You should thank me. If I had not gone for a walk, I would not have found you poisoned."

"You saved me. Thank you?" Qingyun said hurriedly. She indeed needed to thank her.

Huoyan looked proud: "I only carried you here. The one who saved you is my master."

"Huoyan, is the person awake?" Zhu Yanyi heard Huoyan’s voice and knew the person had woken up, so she walked over.

"Master, this person is awake," Huoyan answered seriously.

Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly, nodded, and then entered the room. She looked at Qingyun and said, "Little girl, you are awake?"

She took a deep look, her eyes showing slight surprise, and then she laughed: "So it is a reborn soul. No wonder your fate appears obscured."

"You actually know I am reborn? Who are you?" Qingyun was startled. She had just accepted the fact of her rebirth, yet someone had seen through it at a glance.

Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly: "You need not know who I am. However, your rebirth is your opportunity. Not everyone can be reborn. Because after a person dies, their soul is automatically sent to the nearby Earth God or City God to report, and then, after personnel are unified, sent to the corresponding Ten Courts of Yanluo for processing. But you were reborn directly, which means your fate has also changed."

"What is different?" Qingyun asked, her eyes full of vigilance.

Zhu Yanyi chuckled: "A person's fate is actually like a chart. Generally, everyone has their own fixed trajectory. These are arranged by Yanluo. That is why the saying 'Heaven determines death, Heaven determines life' exists in the human world. In fact, ordinary people's fate is indeed like this. However, your fate is clearly different now."

"Because I was reborn?" Qingyun asked.

"More or less," Zhu Yanyi said seriously. "Because you were reborn, your fate structure has been disrupted by yourself. How to proceed from now on requires you to choose. However…"

"However what?" Qingyun asked immediately.

"However, if you still follow the path of your previous life, you will endure more suffering in this life. For example, in your previous life, your brother did not die. In this life, he will not die now, but because you choose to retrace the path of your previous life, he will face a fate worse than death. So, you must not take the wrong path in this life."

Zhu Yanyi spoke with a grin: "Of course, cause and effect are already determined. Sometimes, taking the unusual path is the best path."

Qingyun pondered slightly after hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words: "Taking the unusual path is the best path." She did not want to say anything, but she could not deny that Zhu Yanyi’s words made her realize that the path she took in her previous life was wrong.

"Does that mean I must let go of those enemies?" Qingyun asked.

"There are many ways to take revenge. Sacrificing oneself for revenge is the path chosen only by the most incompetent people," Zhu Yanyi said with a calm smile. "Think it over. When you have figured it out, let Huoyan bring you to find me."

After speaking, Zhu Yanyi took out a bottle of diluted spirit liquid and handed it to her: "After taking this, your injuries will heal."

Qingyun thanked her, took the spirit liquid, and watched Zhu Yanyi leave. She then opened the bottle. A wave of spiritual energy emerged, letting her know that what she held was a rare treasure.

Without any hesitation, she drank the spirit liquid first, then sighed and placed the bottle aside. She needed to think carefully about Zhu Yanyi’s words.

In her previous life, after learning that her parents were actually harmed by the conspiracy of her uncles, and her brother was lost by Qingxia, her hatred had nowhere to vent. So, after mastering her skills, she killed everyone in the Qing family, including Hong Xiao, who had once been her fiancé.

Qingyun thought about it now. She still wanted to take revenge, but as Zhu Yanyi said, sacrificing oneself for revenge was something only a fool would do.

There were many ways to take revenge. She absolutely could not risk her life again like in her previous life. Besides, with so many families in the Seven-Colored City, it was easy to find someone to deal with the Qing and Hong families.

Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and made a decision in her heart.

When Zhu Yanyi saw Huoyan bringing Qingyun to find her, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "It seems you have figured it out."

"Please teach me, Senior," Qingyun said. She could have taken the old path and sought the inheritance she had obtained in her previous life. But with inheritance came responsibility. In her previous life, she had lived hard for that responsibility. Therefore, in this life, she did not want to seek that inheritance again.
