Jie Yueling exclaimed, "Taohua, you brought the young master back?"

"That's right!" Taohua nodded and said, "My husband should belong to me. Why would I leave him outside?"

"But he's no longer the same young master," Jie Yueling said urgently. "He has been reincarnated. The past grievances should all be over."

"That's just what you think. What about me? What about him?" Taohua shook her head. "Some things don't end just because others think they should."

"He said he would come and marry me!"

"Once, twice, three times... has he ever kept his promise?"

"Now that he's back, shouldn't I bring him back?"

"What did you do to the young master?" Yin energy erupted from Jie Yueling, and her eyes glowed red.

It seemed Jie Yueling didn't know at first that Jie Sanbao had fallen into Taohua's hands.

When Taohua supported the coffin with both hands, wanting to get up, I said, "Don't fight yet. You're fighting to the death for Jie Sanbao. Why not ask Jie Sanbao what he wants first?"

Taohua and Jie Yueling looked at me at the same time, and I actually took half a step back under their gazes—in the Land of Gods and Ghosts, even their eyes could hurt.

Ye Yang and Lin Zhao moved, but I stopped them with a wave of my hand.

I straightened my back and said, "Shouldn't the parties involved decide right and wrong in matters of grievances?"

"Can you decide for Jie Sanbao whether he stays or leaves? I think some decisions back then weren't necessarily made by Jie Sanbao himself, right?"

Taohua was silent for a moment before nodding, "You're right! Let my husband speak for himself and give us the answer!"

Taohua just clapped her hands lightly, and the walls opposite me split to both sides. The room revealed behind was clearly a bridal chamber lit with red candles. Jie Sanbao sat motionless on the wedding bed, constantly rolling his eyes, as if he had something to say to me.

Taohua waved her hand gently, and Jie Sanbao relaxed. "Hall Master Li, I..."

Before Jie Sanbao could finish, I interrupted him, "Lao Jie, things have reached this point, and they can't be solved by force anymore. I want to know the truth of what happened back then."

"This truth is an explanation for all of us."

Jie Sanbao sighed and said, "Actually, over the years, I've always wanted to explain things to you, but I never had the chance. Now that I'm back, everything should be explained."

Jie Sanbao narrated slowly:

Back then, the reason why the Na family moved to Erlin Town was not because they cared about the imperial court, but because they were following a secret order from the Reincarnation Division.

The Reincarnation Division always believed that when the Sirius star appeared, it would bring about great suffering. Therefore, the Reincarnation Division had been trying to capture the Sirius star.

At that time, the Na family had already split into two branches. One branch was still the Zhen Xie Wu Xun (Martial Merit Family for Suppressing Evil), and the other branch belonged to the Reincarnation Division.

The Heavenly Fate Master of the Reincarnation Division calculated that I was the father of the Sirius star, and the mother of the Sirius star must be a ghost or a god.

The purpose of the Na family coming to Erlin Town was to marry a ghost or a god and suppress the Sirius star.

Therefore, the Na family's lineup was unprecedentedly strong at that time, which was why the Na family was able to suppress the warlocks in Erlin Town.

After we came to Erlin Town, we weren't doing nothing. We were constantly looking for the mother of the Sirius star.

Jie Sanbao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he said this, "Those two were in the flower forests around Erlin Town. What I had to do was marry them."

While speaking, Jie Sanbao looked at Taohua, "At that time, I kept going back and forth between the two flower forests. Today, I would compose poems with Taohua, and tomorrow, I would play the zither and sing songs with Yemei. In short, I used romantic means to capture the hearts of the two ghosts and gods."

Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask when he heard this, "Did you love them?"

"I loved them!" Jie Sanbao said, "Ghosts and gods can see through people's hearts. Using only tricks without sincerity can never deceive a ghost or god into marrying you. Moreover, ghosts and gods would lose cultivation if they were willing to marry and have children with someone. Even if they were moved, they would have to think twice."

"I loved them, truly loved them."

"Bullshit!" Lin Zhao squeezed out the words from between his teeth, but I stopped him with a wave of my hand.

Jie Sanbao continued as if he hadn't heard Lin Zhao's words, "I loved them both, but I also knew that after a ghost or god gave birth, they would definitely take revenge at all costs if they found out that their child was being suppressed. At that time, she would be facing the entire Na family."

"Moreover, my father also told me that I could only choose one of the two ghosts and gods. Otherwise, the Na family would be destroyed."

"After careful consideration, I chose Yemei!"

Jie Sanbao stopped here, but Taohua's hands tightly grasped the edge of the coffin. "Why didn't you choose me? I had already prepared my wedding dress, waiting for you to come and pick me up, but you picked up Yemei."

"I was unwilling, so I forced the Na family to come and pick me up again. They came, but I knew that it wasn't you who was coming to pick me up. What could I do even if I entered the Na family? So, I had them carry an empty sedan chair back."

Jie Sanbao looked at Taohua, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Jie Yueling said, "It's not the young master's fault!"
