“…”

It was the mourning period, and the Nanyin Palace at night was gloomy and not much light.

Yan Ning came alone, and took off his elegant and luxurious clothes. He only wore a simple white robe. He carried a dim candlelight and blew out the candles in Yingying's room after entering the house.

"What are you doing?" After falling into darkness, Yingying's back against the wall, and she did not close the door due to her precaution.

She was discussing with the system how to kill Yan Ning, but she didn't expect others to come. A slight cold wind blew into the room, and the snow outside the room was shining with a faint silver light, and the surroundings were quiet and weird.

"Shh--" Only the candle in his hand was left in the room. Yan Ning pressed his fingers against his lips and placed it on the round table.

"Come on, I'll tell you a story."

Yan Ning knew that she was still guarding herself, so he took a seat first, held her chin and looked at Yingying by the door, "I have no ill intentions. If you don't mind being cold, you can sit by the door open and listen."

Yingying said nothing.

At this time, she suddenly remembered someone. She was locked in the Golden Palace in her previous life and was helpless. Qiu Yu once smiled and said sarcastic words to her. He said, "The best way to destroy a person is to understand her first, understand her in her bones and blood, and then crush her bones and raise them to ashes."

"Gu Yingying, you are too easily seen through, so anyone can easily destroy you."

...What about Yan Ning?

Looking at the man sitting at the table, Yingying admitted that she had never understood him. She vaguely realized that the story Yan Ning told was related to him. Since he gave Yingying the opportunity to understand him, Yingying had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, tell me." Yingying sat by the door frame with her back in her knees.

She would rather blow the cold wind than approach him. To be honest, this is actually quite hurtful.

Fortunately, Yan Ning's heart was already full of holes and poison. He smiled indifferently, blinked at the faint candlelight, and spoke with a light attitude: "Once upon a time, there was a young man who played in the world."

"He is the pride of the emperor in the eyes of everyone. He is smart, arrogant and arrogant. Even if he is ignorant of his studies, it doesn't matter. He still has a family business waiting to be inherited."

Yingying learned a new word, "Family Business?"

Yan Ning whispered, unable to tell whether Yingying really couldn't understand or pretended to be unsure, so he savored the corners of his lips and explained: "It's the throne."

"My family has a throne waiting for me to inherit."

But what about now?

Yan Ning's smile fell in the next moment. I don't know what he thought of, but his eyes were covered with gray, staring at the fire light and paused slightly before speaking again: "According an accident, after he woke up, the whole world changed."

"Everything he is familiar with is no longer him. Conspiracy, cruelty, weirdness and danger are his first understanding of this strange world. Only then did he realize that he was also afraid of the arrogant, so he frantically searched for his way home, but he found nothing."

Having said this, Yan Ning came back to his senses and asked Yingying: "So do you understand?"

Yingying was confused when she heard this, and was stunned and asked back: "What do you understand?"

What should she understand?

Yingying didn't understand what Yan Ning wanted to express at all, but the system let out a "huh" and hesitated in her ear: [I seem to understand it.]

There was only the candlelight on the table left in the huge room. When the wind blew in, the candlelight shook twice.

Yan Ning leaned over and protected her hands, frowned and looked at Yingying's eyes with warmth inch by inch. He dragged his tone and confirmed again: "Don't you understand what I said?"

The candlelight was clearly extinguished, and the shadow followed Yan Ning's face and swayed. Yingying suddenly felt a sense of fear in her heart. She didn't know how to answer. The system spoke out in time to save the scene: [Host, don't talk first!]

[Time is urgent, listen to me. From now on, you must follow my arrangements for every word and action. Don’t ask why, you can say whatever I ask you to say.]

[Now, don't talk to him, look at him with an inquiring look!]

Yingying frowned and didn't know what was going on. Although she was still outside the state, she still followed the system's instructions and looked around him without saying a word, as if she wanted to see through his soul.

rustle--

Another gust of cold wind blew in, and the trees outside the house rustled.

In order to prevent the fire from extinguishing, Yan Ning pulled the candlelight on the table closer to him. He lowered his eyes and protected him with his body. After waiting for a while, he shouted: "Gu Yingying."

Yingying's heart was inexplicably raised. She was still staring at Yan Ning. Unfortunately, the man's face was completely covered with shadows, and he had blurred into a ball, and he could not tell the expression.

Yan Ning didn't look at Yingying under the shadow. He stared at the unextinguished candlelight and asked word by word: "Do you know what time travel is?"

...Yingying doesn't know, but the system knows it.

With just this sentence, the system got an answer to all the doubts that happened to Yan Ning, so it quickly told Yingying: [Make a relieved expression and answered him: I know.]

Yingying did as she did, and then she heard Yan Ning laughing softly, from suppressing to indulgence. His shoulders trembled and laughed for a long time, until his eyes were wet and weak all over. He smiled and repeated Yingying's words: "...you know, you know."

She is indeed a person from the same world as him.

"So, Yingying, we are from the same place."

No one knows how long Yan Ning waited for the three words "I know". He waited for despair in his previous life and started again. He was so desperate that he was willing to fall into purgatory, but he didn't expect that someone had been with him in purgatory.

So he is no longer alone. Finally, someone can understand his hardships and helplessness, and can hug each other and keep warm.

It should be clear that Yan Ning is not a person from this world.

At the other end of time and space, there is another world. That world is an advanced and brand new world. It is the world that creates the system and the world that the system has told Yingying before.

[Do you still remember the fairyland I told you about?]

The system explained to Yingying in the simplest words: [Yan Ning came from the so-called fairyland.]

It is conceivable how terrible it is to fall from a developed and beautiful fairyland into such a strange place.

Yan Ning fell into this world due to a car accident. He should be the soul-piercing person. He was at a loss when he first entered here, and there was no so-called system to remind him how to do it.

In the first life, Yan Ning had not lost his understanding of the original world, and he stumbled and stumbled all the way in this world. In order to survive, he was the first time he was to change his identity with his sister Yan Jihua.

Once he leaves Nanyin's power center, he will die, and Yan Jihua will not be able to survive either, so he has to do so.

In that lifetime, Yan Ning still had a conscience. Even if the power in his hand was weak, he was secretly taking care of Yan Jihua who was alone in the Northern Territory as much as possible.

But what's the use?

Yan Ning is not a person from this world. He is afraid of the intrigue and power struggle in this world.

When he was complaining about his full dress as Yan Jihua, his poor acting skills were seen through by Prince Dong, so he caused himself a big trouble. Prince Dong was extremely angry and forced him everywhere, hoping that he would exchange Yan Jihua from the Northern Region.

OK, then let's change it, after all, he really owes his cheap sister.

Now, when recalling the past life, Yan Ning just wants to mock his innocence. He told Yingying little by little the story after traveling through time to listen to him. He smiled: "It is precisely because of his conscience that I agree to cooperate with Prince Dong and cooperate with him to come to the Northern Region as a princess, and want to secretly operate and replace Yan Jihua with him."

"I will help him change Yan Jihua, and he will help me ascend the throne."

Look, how well he arranged everything. He was arrogant and proud. While fearing this world, he was still gambled, and always felt that he could be the supreme king of this world and even conquered this world.

Then what?

Yingying should be very clear about what happened next. He was afraid of being exposed. The secret guards killed Yingying, and Qin Rong asked him to pay his life.

Yan Ning didn't want to mention too much about Yingying's death. He only sarcastically said: "The Northern Regions say that you are the demon queen. If I knew that it was the foolish trick of Qinrong Jindian Suojiao, I would definitely not attack you."

Yan Ning's fear afterwards was only because he killed Qin Rong's queen.

It was also after that that he abandoned his conscience and the original world, and became sinister, cunning, cruel and ruthless in order to survive. He ignored Yan Jihua's begging and asked Yan Jihua to take the blame for him, and lied to Prince Dong that it was Qin Rong who killed Yan Jihua.

After that, the bloody, bloody, cruel and cool memories accelerated his growth. When he finished telling that life, Yan Ning asked: "Did I do something wrong?"

Yan Jihua died innocently, Prince Dong died innocently, and countless people in Nanyin died innocently, but is Yan Ning not innocent?

"...I just want to go home." Yan Ning closed her eyes and murmured softly.

"Yingying, don't you understand why I insist on killing Prince Dong?"

"Because I can go home if I kill him."

At the end of that life, Yan Ning thought that he would return to his original world after his death, but not only did he not go back, he was reborn in the day he traveled through time.

Fate is a mess, but fortunately, there is a system in his body in this life. The system tells him: ascend to the throne of Nanyin and seize the luck of this world, you can open the door to time and space to go home.

"So you have a task too?" Yingying was surprised.

Yan Ning nodded and raised his eyebrows to capture the deep meaning of Yingying's words, "So you have a task too?"

Yingying replied according to the system's instructions: "My mission is that as long as you help you ascend to the throne of Nanyin, you can return to your original world with you."

In order to make up for the previous flaws, she immediately lowered her voice: "I thought I just needed to help you ascend the throne."

But he didn't expect that Yan Ning had another task, and that task would still kill Prince Dong.

The so-called luck of this world refers to the luck son who can determine the direction of the world. Yan Ning's system told him that there are two sons of great luck in this world, one is Prince Dong who can dominate Nanyin's fate, and the other is Jing Qinrong, the emperor of the Northern Region who can control the fate of the world.

Now that Prince Dong is dead, Yan Ning is only one step away from the throne ceremony, and only Qin Rong's luck is not won.

Speaking of this, he asked Yingying: "Do you want to go home?"

Yingying nodded and replied: "Of course I want to."

She didn't know how good the fairyland Yan Ning was. She only knew that she wanted to return to the Northern Region. She wanted to return to Qin Rong and spend her remaining time with him.

Yan Ning has been successfully tricked by Yingying. He thinks that the two are from the same world. Since they both want to go home, what can we not abandon everything here?

So he asked again: "Do you like Qin Rong?"

"If Qin Rong and Hui Home can only choose one of them, what would you choose?"

Of course, Yingying chose Qin Rong. She was wherever Qin Rong was, so she didn't care where she was. At this moment, she had to reply according to the system: "As long as I can go home, I can give up anything."

Of course, it also includes Qin Rong.

Yan Ning understood the meaning of Yingying's words, so a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Since that's the case, there's nothing to hide, so he directly told his last mission, "Only by killing Qin Rong can we go home."

"Yingying, come and help me, I'll take you home with you."

“…”

Yan Ning, the final task is to kill Qin Rong?

The sky turned bright, and it was not until Yan Ning left for a long time that Yingying digested the news. At the same time, the scenes of the past flashed, Yingying finally knew why Yan Ning was obsessed with killing Qinrong. It turned out that it was not just to avenge herself in her previous life, but more importantly, only by killing him could Yan Ning go home.

【Do you think they are innocent?】

Yingying remembered what Yan Ning said to her in the mountains and forests when she was still Shenxue.

[All this is fake, only my real ones, aren’t I innocent?]
