Reborn as an abandoned daughter, she became a stunning genius

Zuo Yilan raised her head and looked at Jiang Ning blankly, tears bursting out of her eyes instantly.

She threw herself into Jiang Ning's arms and cried heartbreakingly.

"Qin Nian, tell me why she did this to me!"

What is the purpose of forbearing for more than ten years and persisting every moment?

She was alone and helpless. How many times when she was almost unable to hold on anymore, she comforted herself that she must be strong because her mother was still waiting for her.

But so many years of forbearance and suffering were rewarded with a ruthless cold sword.

She didn't know what she had done wrong!

"Let's go find the dean and borrow the Mirror of Memory. Since we want to know why, let's see it with our own eyes." Jiang Ning comforted Zuo Yilan.

"Okay." Zuo Yilan stood up and wanted to leave, but saw Zuo Yu lying aside.

After hesitating for a long time, Zuo Yilan sent Zuo Yu back to the room and left Zuo Qing's storage bag beside her pillow.

Then, the two walked into the cave and left the barrier.

What the two of them didn't know was that an hour after they left, a strange man wearing a bamboo hat walked into the courtyard.

The man in the bamboo hat looked at Zuo Qing's body at the bottom of the pit and said, "They died so miserably on the eighth level of the Spirit Cave Realm. Do they have helpers?"

"Ah! Help me! Help me!" A woman's roar suddenly came from the ruins of the house, and then the man in a bamboo hat saw a woman rushing toward him from the ruins.

The woman's face was full of fear. It seemed that she was very frightened. She ran desperately towards the man in the bamboo hat, shouting for help as she ran.

The man in the bamboo hat stretched out his hand to strangle the woman's neck and said, "Tell me, what happened here?"

The question of the man in the bamboo hat seemed to remind the woman of bad memories, and she kept muttering, "Dead, Aqing is dead! My husband is gone!"

Then there was crying and screaming.

Seeing the woman looking so crazy, the man in the bamboo hat stuffed a pill into the woman's mouth.

The pill melted in the mouth. After the woman took the medicine, her madness symptoms improved significantly and she also calmed down.

"Tell me, what happened here?" the man in the hat asked.

The lady raised her head, looked at the man in the bamboo hat with dull eyes, and told him what she saw.

"Lan'er wanted to take me away, and there was a person beside her to help her. A Qing refused to let them go, so the people around Lan'er started fighting with A Qing, and then A Qing died."

Could that be Zuo Yilan's helper?The man in the bamboo hat thought.

"What are the names of the people around Zuo Yilan?"

"I... don't remember." The woman's head was still bleeding, and her memory was blurry.

"Is that person male or female?"

"It's a man...no, it's a woman, but it also seems to be a man." The woman's memory became increasingly confusing.

"Trash! Not a single useful word." The man in the bamboo hat threw the woman away, and at the same time, a red snake came out of the sleeve of the man in the bamboo hat and bit the woman's neck.

The toxin entered the body, and after the woman struggled painfully for a moment, she died.

Then, the man in the bamboo hat summoned a cluster of blue flames, which fell on Zuo Qing's body and burned continuously.

A moment later, Zuo Qing's body was burned to ashes, leaving only a dark green bead.

The man in the bamboo hat opened his hand, and the beads flew into his palm.

"It's not like there was no gain at all." Looking at the dark green beads in his palm, the man in the bamboo hat was about to leave, but out of the corner of his eye he saw another room not far away.

The sun sets over the western mountains and dusk falls.

Jiang Ning and Zuo Yilan came to the dean's courtyard.

The familiar bamboo fence courtyard is different from the last time I came here in that there are two more senior brothers in the courtyard.

"Senior Sister Zuo?"

"Sister, why are you here?"

When the two senior brothers saw Zuo Yilan, they greeted him respectfully.

"I have something to talk to the dean about," Zuo Yilan said.

"This..." The two looked at each other and said hesitantly, "It's getting late now and the dean has already rested. Why don't Senior Sister Zuo come back tomorrow?"

"I want it now." Zuo Yilan said stubbornly.

"But..." The two still refused to let go.

"Two senior brothers, the matter is urgent. Unless we have no choice, we don't want to disturb the dean now." Jiang Ning said, changing back to men's clothes.

"Junior Brother Jiang, it's not that we are unkind, the dean personally ordered that no one be seen after dark." Senior Brother Gatekeeper explained.

"Just let them in." A voice sounded outside the courtyard, and the four people looked over in unison.

I saw an old man leaning on the bamboo fence door frame, looking at the four people.

"Mr. Lu." The two gatekeeper disciples said in unison.

"Senior Lu." Zuo Yilan nodded slightly.

Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man, and also called out, "Senior Lu."

"Your dean, you have to study the chess game alone every night. Speaking of it, it's actually not that important. There will be no problem if you report it."

"This... okay." Lu Tianxing, the dean's friend for many years, spoke up, so the two of them could only report it.

"Hey, we were fighting so much last time I saw you? How come you have become friends after we haven't seen each other for several months?" Lu Tianxing looked at Jiang Ning and Zuo Yilan and joked.

Lu Tianxing's impression of Jiang Ning and Zuo Yilan was still about half a year ago, when Zuo Yilan went to the monastery to trouble Jiang Ning.

"There was a misunderstanding before, but it has been resolved now. Senior Lu, you are back so soon. Is the matter finished?" Jiang Ning said.

"It's done, but I still haven't found Shu'er's whereabouts." Lu Tianxing said with a slightly sad tone.

"Dean, let the two of you go in," said the senior brother who informed.

"Stop talking about me, don't you have something to do with the dean? Go quickly." Lu Tianxing waved his hand.

"Thank you, Senior Lu." Jiang Ning and Zuo Yilan handed over their hands and entered the dean's room.

Entering the room, the dean was indeed sitting in front of the chessboard studying the game.

"It's so late, why do you want to see me?" The dean kept his eyes on the chessboard without moving an inch.

"Master Dean, this disciple would like to borrow your memory-seeking mirror." Zuo Yilan knelt down and said.

"Looking for the Memory Mirror?" The dean raised his head, first looking at Zuo Yilan on the ground, and then at Jiang Ning.

"Why do you want to borrow the Memory Mirror?" the dean asked.

"I want to know my origins."

"Everything has its own arrangement. We should look forward, so why hold on to the past?" said the dean.

"Besides, the memory-seeking mirror cannot be used easily. If the original trajectory of things deviates from the memory-seeking mirror, you will be responsible for the consequences."

"I'm not afraid." Zuo Yilan said stubbornly.

"Master Dean, Senior Sister Zuo already knows almost everything about the past, but there are some questions that haven't been solved yet, so I would like to borrow the Memory-seeking Mirror. In this case, using the Memory-seeking Mirror should not cause too much trouble. It's a big cause and effect." Jiang Ning said.

"Indeed." The dean nodded, then looked at Zuo Yilan and asked, "The cause and effect can be big or small, it all depends on how the person involved chooses after the truth is put in front of them. I can lend you the Memory Mirror, I just hope you know After the truth is revealed, don’t dwell on past grudges.”
