Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 51 Returning to Hua'an City

Meng Xiaoyan's soul trembled slightly as she weakly uttered, "Brother Tian, ​​it was Ali. He was jealous of your research results and secretly colluded with other researchers to frame me. She poisoned me and then took the opportunity to have a Taoist priest imprison me, cursing anyone who came into contact with me to suffer a terrible fate." As she spoke, Meng Xiaoyan's soul flickered, as if recalling the pain she had endured.

I am naturally not afraid of curses, let alone in a soul state.

Li Tian's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, his body seemingly frozen in place, completely still.

His gaze was fixed straight ahead, his lips trembling slightly: "How...how could it be him! This is impossible! He's my most capable assistant and my closest brother!"

Li Tian gripped his hair tightly with both hands, as if doing so would help him wake up from this terrible reality.

His heart was filled with shock and pain. The words he had just heard kept echoing in his mind, each word like a sharp knife, mercilessly piercing his heart.

"Brother Tian, ​​do you really not believe what I'm saying?" Meng Xiaoyan's voice rang out again, tinged with anxiety and helplessness.

Li Tian slowly lowered his hand from pulling her hair, looked at Meng Xiaoyan's spirit, and said firmly, "I believe you, Xiaoyan. It's just that this fact is really too unexpected for me."

He took a deep breath, his eyes turning cold. "No matter who he was before, he must pay the price for hurting you."

Li Tian took a deep breath and looked at Meng Xiaoyan with concern, saying, "Xiaoyan, don't worry, I will definitely make him pay the price, but... in your current state, you have to reincarnate, otherwise you will completely disappear from this world."

Afterwards, Li Tian concealed his reluctance and asked Huan Yue to help Meng Xiaoyan reincarnate.

Huan Yuechu glanced at Li Tian, ​​then at Meng Xiaoyan's soul, and nodded gently.

Huan Yuechu slowly turned the Seven Emotions Bracelet in her hand, and a soft light enveloped Meng Xiaoyan's soul.

Meng Xiaoyan glanced at Li Tian one last time, her eyes filled with longing and trust, before disappearing into the light.

Li Tian wanted to hold her hand tightly.

However, reality bound him like a merciless shackle, allowing him to only gaze from afar and never truly touch that warmth.

Li Tian took a deep breath, slowly turned around and faced away from me, as if every movement required all his strength.

Only Li Tian himself knew how much unspeakable emotion and pain was hidden behind this coldness.

After a long while, Li Tian calmed down and expressed his gratitude to me. Then he stood quietly and looked at me, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

I replied with a serious expression, "No need to be so polite. I'm just fulfilling the terms we agreed upon beforehand."

As I said this, my gaze was calm as still water, as if all of this was nothing out of the ordinary for me.

Upon hearing my answer, Li Tian paused slightly, a complex expression flashing across his face.

He probably thought I would be more enthusiastic because I helped him, but my attitude was clearly unexpected.

However, he was also sensible enough to know that there was no point in saying anything more at this point, so he nodded and said softly, "Alright then... Anyway, thank you really much this time."

After saying that, he turned around and slowly walked away.

I stood quietly in place, my gaze fixed on Li Tian's receding figure.

The figure appeared somewhat lonely and desolate in the afterglow of the setting sun, yet it also exuded a sense of determination and resolve.

A myriad of complex emotions welled up within me, including感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion), 悔惜 (huǐxī, regret), and a touch of indescribable admiration.

Obsession, a seemingly simple word, possesses immense power.

It can be a continuous source of motivation on a person's path forward, inspiring people to forge ahead and overcome difficulties and obstacles; at the same time, it can also be like a double-edged sword, deeply piercing a person's soul and plunging them into endless pain and struggle from which they cannot extricate themselves.

Li Tian is such a person, driven by his obsession. He has an almost fanatical dedication to the goals he pursues, and even if there are thorns and cliffs in front of him, he will not back down and will rush forward without hesitation.

Hopefully, his unwavering determination will lead him to success, rather than become a grave that buries his life.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Chongyang suddenly received a shocking message: "That guy Li Tian, ​​because he couldn't find you, actually went to the Phantom Inn to cause trouble for Sister Yuechu!"

Upon hearing this news, Chongyang's heart leaped into his throat, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Although he knew that Huan Yuechu was exceptionally strong and very powerful, he still couldn't help but worry about her.

After careful consideration, Chongyang decided to discuss countermeasures with his friend Lu Yun.

The two sat together, exchanging their thoughts and suggestions.

Ultimately, they reached an agreement and quickly began to take action.

Chongyang hurriedly packed his luggage, preparing to immediately return to Hua'an City.

However, just as he was about to step out of the room, he was unexpectedly blocked by Muren Siyu.

Mu Ren Siyu looked at him with a serious expression and said solemnly, "Chongyang, when you go back this time, you must bring Wen Xingyu with you." After saying that, he pointed to Wen Xingyu standing to the side.

At this moment, Wen Xingyu looked unwilling and was clearly very resistant to this arrangement.

She bit her lip tightly, her eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and helplessness.

However, faced with the demands of the Curtain Blade Civic, Chongyang was in a dilemma for a moment...

Just then, Mu Ren Siyu pulled Wen Xingyu aside with a serious expression, his eyes revealing a hint of solemnity and warning.

He lowered his voice and said to Wen Xingyu in a volume that only the two of them could hear, "Listen, this is no joke! Don't forget that you have a calamity in your life, so you must go with Chongyang and return to Hua'an City as soon as possible."

Wen Xingyu looked surprised and puzzled, but seeing Mu Ren Siyu's unwavering expression, she knew that this matter was of utmost importance.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, indicating her agreement to act according to Muren Siyu's arrangements.

So, Wen Xingyu reluctantly turned around and followed Chongyang's footsteps, and together they embarked on the journey back to Hua'an City.

Throughout the journey, Wen Xingyu was filled with countless thoughts, wondering what kind of situation awaited her...
