No matter how the outside world changes, Wangchuan remains dark and beautiful, as if it has been like this for thousands of years.

Jiang Xue Ning didn't plan to stay any longer after returning to Wangchuan. She had been out for too long, and there were still many things waiting for her at the Xiang Wang's place.

Leng Wuhan is indifferent to everyone. Most of the time, he hides in a high building in Tianguang Pavilion, silently overlooking the entire Wangchuan River.

Jiang Xue Ning silently went up the tall building and walked to his side. "What are you looking at?"

"The stars are shining brightly tonight, and the demons are still dancing wildly in the River of Oblivion."

She always felt that he had been here for too long and had lost his human aura. His emotions were so calm that it was scary, as if nothing could stir up any ripples in his eyes.

"After staying in Wangchuan for so long, it's time for the once high-spirited Master Yun to return."

The breeze blew and ruffled his hair, and he whispered, "I can't go back, Ningning, I can never go back."

The former number one young master in Qingzhou had long since died in the massacre of his entire family that afternoon, and from then on he lived as neither human nor ghost.

She sighed and said, "You are like this now, have you come out of it or not?"

Their acquaintance was quite ordinary, when she was stirring up trouble in Qingzhou. He was a high-spirited young man, and they had crossed paths several times at banquets.

Later, she often held banquets to invite talented young men to win over talents. As the first young man, he naturally received her invitation.

At that time, he was young and talented, with a reputation of being as handsome as jade and unparalleled in the world, and a first-class family background. He seemed gentle as jade, but in fact, the arrogance in his eyes could not be concealed.

She went alone into Qingzhou, thrived amid the ridicule of the crowd, and fought her way out.

She still remembers that night when the fireworks were bright and the lights were brilliant. The young man, who seemed gentle but was actually arrogant, raised his glass to her and said, "I rarely admire people, and the princess is one of them."

She raised her glass and smiled, "It is such a beautiful day, may you always be as romantic as you are now."

She is sincere and has seen too many tragedies. She thinks beautiful things are always beautiful, which is a good thing.

I only hope that you remain as elegant as before, and that the tenderness in your eyes remains as before.

Unfortunately, there is no forever in this world. The elegant and graceful young man soon died in the misty rain of Qingzhou in a cruel way.

She clearly remembered that it was a rainy day. When she came back from the military camp outside the city, Wu Jin told her, "The Yun family was wiped out. More than 200 people died tragically."

She paused, looked up at the heavy rain, and asked, "How is Mr. Yun?"

"Whereabouts unknown."

Perhaps because she felt sympathy or pity for him, she led people to follow his trail for three days and three nights. When they found him, he was covered in wounds and was forced to the edge of a cliff.

He stood there with a mad look on his face, no longer having any of the charm of the former No. 1 young master.

She saved him, and he hugged her, covered in blood, and said, "Dead, all dead... There's blood everywhere, they're all dead!"

She couldn't say any words of comfort. On the day the Gu family was wiped out, she was also so desperate, so desperate that she couldn't even cry.

"I should die too. I am the one who deserves to die the most..."

He was so emotionally out of control that he was about to jump off a cliff, but she knocked him out and brought him back to the palace, where he slept for a full half month before waking up.

Three months later, he recovered from his wounds and knelt in front of her with a sword, saying, "Princess, help me to avenge my death, and I will serve you for the rest of my life."

There was no longer the charm of the past in his eyes, only deep hatred.

She helped him search for clues and traces of the enemy, gave him a large sum of silver and a group of people, and he left Qingzhou.

It took almost two years to chase him to the ends of the earth and kill all his enemies. When he came back, he became lifeless, like an emotionless killing tool.

At that time, she was about to leave Qingzhou, and he chose to exile himself to Wangchuan, where he trained secret guards and assassins for her to expand Tianguang Pavilion.

This is their whole story. Their first encounter was beautiful, but the ending was sad.

Leng Wuhan looked at Wangchuan with empty and unfocused eyes. "At that time, I wanted to die, but you said that if I died, no one in this world would remember the Yun family and those beautiful past times."

So in the end he chose to live, guarding the past, those memories and the desolation in his heart.

In this Forgotten River, I watch the sun rise and set and the stars move day after day.

She said, "It would be very tiring to live like this for the rest of your life."

"There are many theories about the Yun family's massacre." He said sadly and calmly, "One theory is correct. One of the masterminds was my former sworn brother. He coveted the Yun family's wealth and wanted to take revenge on me, so he carefully planned this massacre."

The young man, who was born as a favored child of heaven, is full of youthful vigor. That kind of invisible arrogance and sense of superiority will hurt the hearts of the rats in the gutter and make them become twisted.

"He wanted to marry my sister because of me, but my parents rejected him. He held a grudge against me and eventually caused this disaster. In the final analysis, it was my fault for not judging people and letting a wolf into the house."

Back then, the Yun family was well-known and had long been targeted. His sworn brother was just the fuse. Most of the people who eventually got involved were those who coveted the Yun family or had a feud with the Yun family before.

It wasn't all his fault, but apparently after all these years he couldn't let himself go.

Jiang Xue Ning did not try to persuade her. If she had not died once and had relied on hatred to get to where she is now, she would not have been able to let herself go.

People like them are destined to have incomplete souls, and it is already very difficult for them to live a good life.

"If staying here can make you calm, then stay here. If one day you want to leave, I will wait for you in Xiangchu."

"This place is great. When I stepped in here, I decided to stay here forever and never leave." He said calmly and firmly.

Everyone says that Wangchuan is the place closest to hell. Perhaps because of this, his soul can get a moment of peace here.

He thought that a person like him with blood on his hands and deep sins would definitely go to hell after death. Therefore, dying in the Wangchuan River was his best destination.

He pointed to the red spider lilies that can be seen everywhere in the Forgotten River, "Born in the Forgotten River, withered in the Forgotten River, year after year, the cycle repeats itself."

Just like him, he guards here silently. Every day, some people leave and some come in, but he will only die here.

The topic tonight was too heavy. She was silent for a long time and said softly, "I respect your decision, as long as your soul can be at peace."

He plucked a bright red flower from the other shore and pinned it in her hair. "Don't worry about me. I have so many beautiful memories. Keeping these memories is enough for me to spend my whole life."

"You have to be well, and don't look back once you leave."

He knew that once she left the Wangchuan River, they would probably hardly see each other again, and a bright and wonderful life was waiting for her ahead.

And he will stay in the Wangchuan River for the rest of his life, watching the flowers bloom and fall and the seasons change.

And she is a ray of warm sunshine in those cruel pasts.
