Chapter 226 Stepping Stones in Variety Shows 21

"It doesn't matter."

As the three clear and pleasant words fell, the leader breathed a sigh of relief, then secretly glared at Gu Qiwen, "No more cooperation from now on!"

To avoid annoying the goddess!

"What about us? We want to go too!" Muran shouted unwillingly.

Gu Yao stepped forward domineeringly, "Gu Qiwen, I can increase my investment, include me!"

Murong Han retorted, "I can too."

Lin Feiyue bit her lip and said softly, "Take us with you, I can't rest easy."

"No." Gu Qiwen refused outright, leaving everyone astonished. They hadn't expected Gu Qiwen to refuse so decisively.

Gu Qiwen scanned the crowd expressionlessly. "This is not a game. You are not capable enough to protect yourselves."

The group knew, of course, that this was just an excuse, and Lin Feiyue's eyes reddened with anger. "But you can't protect yourselves either! There's strength in numbers! Who says we can't help?"

That's true. Gu Qiwen's heart stirred slightly, but he quickly regained his indifference. "Your contracts are all here with me. If I said you can't go, then you can't go!"

"What about Xie Zeyan?" Murong Han asked in return, his eyes deep. He was immediately met with a cold glare from the former, but he was not afraid. Instead, he nodded frankly and said, "I'm worried about you too."

Xie Zeyan: "..." Thank you?

Xie Zeyan took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, "No need!"

Gu Qiwen's expression was complex and conflicted. He really didn't want to bring Xie Zeyan along, but he also knew that Xie Zeyan had something special that could resolve Qingyu's doubts.

I can't not go.

The matter was settled, and the others looked indignant, but considering they had no means of transportation and not enough money to cancel the contract, and there were still so many people here, they ultimately did not wait to catch up.

Qingyu followed the leader and the others in that direction.

The closer they got, the drier the land became, and the air seemed suffocating. Before they even got close, the leader stopped them and pleaded with Qingyu, "That's forbidden territory, don't go!"

He didn't want anything to happen to the goddess in front of him!

Qingyu didn't feel uncomfortable; she just felt a sense of familiarity.

She gently pushed away the leader's hand, her gaze resolute. "I have to go and see."

The leader opened his mouth, his eyes filled with pain and disappointment. He wanted to say something, but then he saw Qingyu walk straight ahead.

Behind the leader were countless lives of his people. He wanted to follow, but then he heard Qingyu's delicate voice scolding him, "Go back! My affairs are none of your business!"

The leader was taken aback, feeling both disappointed and relieved.

His eyes instantly reddened, and he took a few steps back, saying, "I'll wait for you here!"

Qingyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips without answering.

She was genuinely afraid that this guy would hinder her exploration!

Seeing Qingyu go inside, Gu Qiwen glanced at Xie Zeyan, and the two exchanged a look before following Qingyu.

The three of them walked quickly and soon disappeared as a small dot.

However, the further Qingyu went, the stronger the sense of familiarity became, and her heart beat faster and faster.

Just as they were nearing the end, suddenly, a faint light flashed, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed, leaving everyone in a misty fog.

Qingyu, however, seemed to see a glimmer of hope and ran off in one direction.

An ancient stone gate appeared ahead, covered with strange runes.

Qingyu recognized that the runes were the same as those in the book!

She reached out and touched the stone door. Runes began to flash, and the stone door slowly opened.

"Qingyu! Be careful!" Gu Qiwen tried to pull her in so he could go in first, but Qingyu dodged him. He gave a bitter smile, "I'm being used. The situation here is unknown..."

Qingyu didn't look at him, but instead focused her gaze on Xie Zeyan. "Don't you have anything to say?"

Xie Zeyan's thin lips curved upwards, his eyes filled with excitement and affection. "You'll see when you go in, won't you?"

Qingyu seemed lost in thought, her brows relaxed. She wasn't afraid of what might happen; she had a premonition that she would soon see that person.

So she went inside.

Inside was a huge space, with a bead emitting a soft light floating in the very center.

Below the bead is a square groove.

Qingyu's heart skipped a beat. She took out the booklet and placed it inside.

moment--

The bead shone brightly, and at the same time, the familiar aura it emitted enveloped her.

Qingyu couldn't help but step forward, and the moment she touched the bead, memories flooded back like a tide.

Those beautiful memories are like blooming flowers, or bursting with sweetness like candies, making people's hearts flutter.

She finally saw the man's face clearly—an extremely handsome and affectionate appearance. He coaxed her with smiles and said he loved her. The two seemed to be a perfect couple, envied by everyone.

Xie Zeyan, standing to the side, was trembling with excitement. Did she remember?

I remember what that person in my dream said about those beautiful memories from past lives?!

"What exactly did you do?!" Gu Qiwen could no longer hold back and threw a punch.

Today's events seemed like something out of a science fiction movie, so astonishing that he couldn't believe it, and layers of fear welled up in his heart.

Xie Zeyan easily dodged Gu Qiwen's attack, still wearing a fascinated smile on his face, "I was just helping her find her memories."

At this moment, Qingyu was immersed in her memories and was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

Gu Qiwen glared at Xie Zeyan, "Why did you do this? There must be a reason behind it!"

Xie Zeyan sneered, his voice filled with arrogance and satisfaction, "My purpose? My purpose is to make her remember everything, remember the past... no, the happy days we had in our past life, so that she can return to my arms!"

Gu Qiwen's anger surged, but just then, the light of the bead gradually faded, and Qingyu slowly came back to her senses.

She seemed to sense something as she stroked the beads in her hand, her beautiful face expressionless, without even a hint of shyness.

"System?" she murmured to herself.

As expected, there was no reply; the system was blocked.

Qingyu's heart grew calmer. She looked at Gu Qiwen and Xie Zeyan with a complex expression in her eyes.

"So, you are... my lover from my past life?" Qingyu's voice was completely flat, a stark contrast to the shyness and joy Xie Zeyan had expected.

Xie Zeyan panicked a little. He looked back at her affectionately and tentatively said, "Qingyu, no matter what happened before, I am sincere to you now."

Qingyu's red lips curled slightly, and a mocking look appeared in her watery eyes. Her smile was beautiful, yet it made people nervous. She gently shook her head, "You're lying to me."

Xie Zeyan's face paled, and before he could say anything, he heard the beauty continue, "What exactly is your purpose? Aren't you going to show up now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the bead in her hand suddenly shattered. Qingyu felt a throbbing in her chest, and then the scene in front of her changed again.

The aura of Xie Zeyan in front of her was becoming more and more familiar. When she looked up and met his gaze, the powerful sense of aggression in his eyes made Qingyu realize that this was the leader of one of the groups.

Ugh, it's really annoying to her!

Gu Qiwen had fainted on the ground, and the two stood facing each other in the vast space.
