Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day

1527 Going Back

Xia Wei did not react to Jiang Qing’s words. He only sneered. “Then let’s wait and see.”

Seeing the two of them at each other’s throats, everyone really wanted to run. However, with Jun Shiling and Jiang Qing guarding, there was no chance to run now.

Everyone looked at each other and saw regret in each other’s eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere had fallen to the freezing point, Chu Yi stood up. “Sect Master Jiang, why are you angry? Since today is the alliance meeting, Sect Master Jiang, you’re magnanimous. There’s no need to argue with a nameless person.”

Jiang Qing ignored Chu Yi’s words and looked at Xia Wei. “Where’s Xia Wanyuan?”

“She has something on.”

“Ha.” Jiang Qing’s expression was cold. “I wonder what’s more important than her children’s lives.”

“Let’s talk inside,” Jun Shiling, who had been silent, suddenly said.

“No.” Xia Wanyuan was the core of everything. Without seeing Xia Wanyuan, Jiang Qing did not plan to go in at all.

“I didn’t expect you to still be so persistent about me after so many years.” Lu Li’s voice appeared behind Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing suddenly turned around and saw Lu Li, “Xia Wanyuan”, walking out of the venue.

“Xia Wanyuan.” After looking for Xia Wanyuan for so long, this was the first time Jiang Qing had faced her directly. Looking at the familiar eyes, Jiang Qing’s emotions were a little complicated.

Jiang Qing undoubtedly hated Xia Wanyuan very much. If not for Xia Wanyuan, he would have already killed Xia Wei in the battle of Wu Mountain back then. There would not have been the later Emperor Xia Yuan.

However, to a certain extent, Xia Wanyuan had left a deep mark in Jiang Qing’s heart, because Xia Wanyuan was the opponent who knew him the best. In that war to vie for the world, Xia Wanyuan was the only opponent at the top of the sky and the only companion.

“Long time no see.” Lu Li stood quietly with a condescending calmness between her eyebrows.

Being stared at like this evoked the memory that Jiang Qing had the deepest impression of Xia Wanyuan.

In his previous life, when the Great Xia Dynasty restored the country, as the defeated party, Jiang Qing was escorted into the capital. At that time, he sat in the prison car and looked at the figure on the city wall from afar.

The scene of Xia Wanyuan accepting the worship of all the officials had always been imprinted in his mind. At that time, Xia Wanyuan had the same gaze.

Xia Wanyuan, who was standing on the high platform, seemed to be looking down on everything. The thought of ruthlessly stepping on Xia Wanyuan had perhaps begun from that moment.

Jiang Qing’s expression suddenly darkened. He sneered. “Let’s go in and talk.”

With that, Jiang Qing turned around and walked towards the building in the middle of Guiyuan Island.

The others wanted to follow, but the bodyguards stopped them.

“Everyone, stay where you are. You’re not allowed to leave this island.”

Looking at the fully armed guns in the bodyguards’ hands, everyone could only sit obediently in the area circled by the bodyguards.

At this moment, a hundred kilometers away from the island, Xia Wanyuan had successfully left the ship guarded by the bodyguards and was rushing to Guiyuan Island at full speed.

All the buildings on Guiyuan Island were in the ancient style that Jiang Qing liked. At this moment, in the small courtyard in the middle, everyone was sitting around a sandalwood table.

“Tell me, why did you get us here?” Lu Li looked straight at Jiang Qing. “What method does my child need to survive?”

“It’s very simple.” Jiang Qing pulled off the black cloth covering his head, revealing an extremely young face. “You need to be willing to sacrifice.”

“What sacrifice?” Lu Li frowned slightly. “I don’t understand.”

“Tonight is the day the nine stars are connected. The last time such a constellation existed was a thousand years ago.” Jiang Qing looked into Lu Li’s eyes. “I want you to sacrifice for the array at midnight tonight. If you do this, I’ll help you break the curse on your child.”

Before Lu Li could speak, Xia Wei had already stood up. “Impossible. What exactly do you want??”

Suddenly, Xia Wei seemed to have thought of something and looked at Jiang Qing in shock.

“You want to go back???!!!”

All along, their thoughts had entered a misunderstanding. They thought that the reversal of time was irreversible. However, now, Xia Wei suddenly had an epiphany.

Since time could jump to a thousand years later, why couldn’t it go back to a thousand years ago?

Previously, Xia Wei had guessed that Jiang Qing’s goal of tricking him into opening the Nine Stars Rotation Array a thousand years ago was to take revenge and make him and Xia Wanyuan disappear from that era forever, making the entire Great Xia Dynasty disappear from history.

However, at this moment, Xia Wei suddenly seemed to understand.

Perhaps from the beginning, Jiang Qing’s goal was not revenge, but to turn back time.

Back then, Jiang Qing wanted to return to before the war began, and the current Jiang Qing wanted to return to the Great Xia Dynasty a thousand years ago.

Jiang Qing was not flustered at all that Xia Wei had guessed his thoughts. He smiled faintly. “I’ve said it before. The winner will not be revealed until the last moment.”

“That child,” Jun Shiling said. “How can they escape the outcome of dying young?”

“They’ve suffered in Xia Wanyuan’s place. As long as a loved one is willing to sacrifice and let everything return to its original position, their existence will naturally become reasonable.”

Hearing Jiang Qing’s words, Jun Shiling’s eyes darkened. “Are you sure?”

“You can choose not to believe me.” Jiang Qing smiled, but there was no warmth in his eyes. “Do you think there’s a second person in this world who understands this?”

Before Jun Shiling could speak, Lu Li turned to look at Jun Shiling with infinite love. Then, she looked at Jiang Qing. “I can.”

Jun Shiling suddenly frowned. “No!”

Looking at the two of them arguing intensely, Jiang Qing smiled. “I’ll give you five minutes to consider. I’ll wait for you in front of the divine pillar over there.”

With that, Jiang Qing stood up and left.

No one knew what Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had discussed in the venue, but five minutes later, “Xia Wanyuan” walked out of the venue alone. Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

Looking at the clearly fragile Xia Wanyuan, Jiang Qing sneered. “Your luck is really good. In your previous life, you had your two useless parents to protect you. Now that you’re in a different world, you can still make a man let go of everything for you. As expected of the number one beauty. Your methods are amazing.”

‘Xia Wanyuan’ did not care about Jiang Qing’s provocation at all. She was clearly still a little fragile just now, but when she looked at Jiang Qing, she had recovered her extreme coldness.

“What do you need me to do?”

“Follow me.” Jiang Qing glanced at Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei. “It’s time for you to leave this world that doesn’t belong to us with me.”
