Chapter 1592: Rubik's Cube Beauty (54)

Wen Zhao arrived at the stone hut beneath the cliff. Beside the hut stood a grave.

In front of it was a wooden tombstone, already nearly rotted away.

On it were clearly written four words:

Tomb of Tang Guo.

Wen Zhao stood before the grave for a very long time.

In the end, he began digging.

When he uncovered the decayed bones and lifted the collar of the clothes around the neck, wasn't there a jade token hidden inside—one identical to his own?

Holding the token in his hand, he broke down on the spot.

His voice was miserable and desolate, so heartrending that even the birds of the barren mountains dared not approach.

"Little sister, you must hide this jade token carefully. Keep it close to your body and never lose it."

"Little sister, keep it safe and wait for your brother to come back."

"If I don't return, you must take good care of yourself. Remember, don't lose the token. In the future, we can recognize each other through these two identical jade pendants. One day, your brother will become strong and never let anyone bully you again."

Tears streamed uncontrollably down Wen Zhao's face.

In a low voice, he called out, "Little sister..."

Then he carefully put away the jade token and began gathering the bones.

"Brother will take you home."

"Brother believes you. You definitely weren't that kind of person. Brother will uncover the truth and restore your innocence."

He remembered the woman in his dream.

The way she had spoken so lightly, saying she was leaving, as if she no longer cared.

His heart felt completely shattered.

Cradling the remains carefully in his arms, he staggered away.

Gone was the elegant and refined Young Master Wen Zhao of the past.

Only loneliness and sorrow surrounded him.

Why had he assumed she had poisoned Yun Qingruo without even questioning her?

Why had he believed Yun Qingruo's words and assumed all those evil deeds were Tang Guo's, despite never witnessing them himself?

They had lived together for more than a month.

Didn't he know what kind of person she was?

No.

Of course he did.

He had simply been blinded by love and lost his ability to distinguish right from wrong.

Half a year later, Young Master Wen Zhao bathed the martial world in blood.

Countless people died by his hand.

He crippled Yun Qingruo and Pei Yu, imprisoned them, and whipped them daily.

He became the greatest villain of the martial world, a complete madman.

No one understood why the gentle and refined Young Master Wen Zhao had transformed into such a person.

Tang Guo knew nothing of what happened in that distant time and space.

Even if she did know, she probably wouldn't care much.

【Host, want to take a break? These illusions are too easy for you. You see through them immediately. They're not realistic at all.】

Tang Guo was having far too much fun to stop.

"I never imagined I used to be so stupid, actually believing the nonsense of a trash system like you."

【Host, if you're reminiscing, then reminisce. But please, Host, forget that foolish little System from the past. Everyone has been stupid before. Things are pretty good now, aren't they?】

"What I still don't understand is why I let myself be fooled by a wild system without a serial number."

Tang Guo found that particularly strange.

Looking back at her past experiences, she increasingly felt that her former self had been like someone whose intelligence had been sealed away.

With her current temperament, the thing she hated most was being threatened.

And yet, this trash system had managed to fool her for several thousand years.

Still, her current little System seemed even more foolish back then.

She had no idea what kind of idiotic settings had turned it into that.

After shattering another illusion, Tang Guo looked at the scene before her and showed a hint of surprise.

"This illusion has improved."
