Although at the time, Jiang Shi was stubborn in front of Lin Changze, when she recalled it in the middle of the night, she couldn't forget his face and the tears that seemed to carry a burning heat.
Taking advantage of Mo Yuan's absence to handle the territorial disputes between two demon clans, she quietly removed the seal and went to the human world once again.
Since she had planted a demon seed on Lin Changze before she left last time, she almost effortlessly found him this time. However, what she didn't expect was that when she saw him again, it was in that extremely dirty and legendary ghost market, where one could supposedly obtain anything at a price, and she even witnessed him using ten years of cultivation to exchange for a ten-year life-prolonging pill.
For some reason, Jiang Shi suddenly remembered a rumor she had heard from a Taoist when she first arrived in the human world. The man said that five hundred years ago, Lin Changze was the absolute number one among the younger generation in the entire cultivation world. However, he fell in love with a girl and offended a formidable figure. As a result, he was severely injured and his excellent immortal bones were damaged, preventing him from cultivating again.
Such a thing happening to any ordinary cultivator would be unbearable, let alone Lin Changze, who was a brilliant and renowned genius in the cultivation world.
But for that girl, no matter how harsh the rumors and gossip, or how bitter the ridicule from former colleagues, he never once had the thought of ending his life. For the girl he liked, he exhausted every means to extend his remaining few decades of life to several hundred years.
Jiang Shi simply cannot imagine what kind of obsession could drive that pure and elegant young man to his current state.
Regarding her reappearance, Lin Changze seemed completely unsurprised, and upon hearing her question, he simply smiled faintly and said to her, "Because I don't know when the girl I like will come, so I always want to stay alive. Only by staying alive can I see her again and see if she is well."
Perhaps his focused gaze was too heavy, Jiang Shi lowered her eyes, thinking that for so many years, her own feelings for Mo Yuan were also an obsession. After hesitating for a long time, she spoke softly, "Lin Changze, tell me your story."
Before meeting Jiang Shi, Lin Changze was a strict and proud young man. After offending many wealthy families, his masters sent him down the mountain to experience the ups and downs of life.
It was during this time that he met Jiang Shi, the youngest daughter of the renowned Jiang family in the capital city, known for her skill in tending to flowers and plants.
The incident began when her father fell seriously ill during the Mid-Autumn Festival. In order not to delay the royal nobles from enjoying the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, she and her sister Jiang Pingting went to the palace to deliver flowers. At first, everything went smoothly, but on the way back, they unexpectedly encountered the imperial carriage.
At that time, she was still young and it didn't matter much, but her sister had already grown into a stunning beauty. Moreover, the emperor favored beautiful women, so the next morning, she was taken into the palace.
At that time, Jiang Pingting already had someone she loved, but for the sake of the Jiang family, she resolutely chose to part with her lover and entered the highest but also the most filthy harem.
Because of Jiang Pingting's gentle and indifferent nature, the emperor, who had seen countless beautiful roses, was extremely moved.
However, in just half a year, Jiang Pingting went from being an unknown beauty to becoming a noble consort that even the empress feared.
It was precisely because of the uproar caused by the favoritism in the harem that Jiang Pingting, who was left in the palace due to pregnancy during the emperor's southern tour, quickly became the prime target for criticism. She was falsely accused of adultery by a trusted palace maid, and before the emperor's return, she was given white silk to hang herself. The Jiang family was also falsely accused of corruption, and all the men were beheaded as a public display, while most of the women died in humiliation during their exile to the borderlands.
She was unwilling to let the injustice of the Jiang family be buried forever, and even more unwilling to live on in this world alone and in misery, so she escaped at all costs.
He saved her, covered in blood, feeling heartache for her hardships and admiring her strength. Therefore, without hesitation, he brought her back to Mt. Longhu, partly to help her heal, and partly to better understand her past and enter her life.
But if a person has long been consumed by hatred, how can they still discover the beauty of the world?
Upon learning that Mt. Longhu had an Immortal Fruit, which, when consumed by a cultivator, would instantly increase their cultivation by hundreds of years, and when consumed by an ordinary person, would bestow eternal youth and beauty, she immediately made up her mind.
At that time, it happened to be the turn of the famous drunkard Master Lin Changze to guard the Treasure Pavilion. After getting him drunk with several jars of fine wine, she coaxed Lin Changze into taking her to the Treasure Pavilion under the pretext of wanting to see the world. She then persuaded him to help her steal the Immortal Fruit, which was considered the treasure of the mountain.
Although he knew he was being used by her, he still couldn't bear to see her punished. So after Jiang Shi escaped, Lin Changze took all the blame for her alone.
After recovering from his injuries, he quietly inquired about her whereabouts and learned that she had taken a risk by entering the palace to seek revenge. She hoped to use the emperor's power to clear the Jiang family's name, but due to the queen's jealousy, she was suspected of plotting and, under the pretext of her alleged treachery, was subjected to the most severe backlash from consuming the Immortal Fruit, ultimately being sentenced to death by dismemberment.
He hurriedly got up, ignoring his own serious injuries, and rushed to the capital by the fastest means possible, but in the end, he was still too late.
