"I'm so glad that you're still alive! Your father was so scared!" Qin Ye said compassionately. "As your father said, no one can harm you now! We've already caught the culprit!"

Yu Fai lifted her head and gazed at Qin Ye in the distance. His gentle, mellifluous voice blended perfectly with his extremely handsome appearance, emanating an Overlord-like aura.

As he caught Yu Fei's gaze, he flashed a warm smile. But he was surprised to see her tremble instead.

The daughter of the Celestial Palace Master trembled with fear and her eyes betrayed her emotions, even catching the attention of her father who couldn't help but turn back to check on her.

At the same time, his daughter tightly held onto his long sleeves, as if she was scared.

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ In the distance, there were three people standing. The Eternal Emperor, Xu Shan and Qin Ye. However, where his daughter was gazing, there was only Xu Shan at the front. And a few meters behind him, there was Qin Ye.

"So that boy is really the one who hurt you?" The Palace Master's fists clenched tightly. For his brave daughter to look so scared, he could only worry about what she went through. At the moment, he hated Xu Shan even more! It was clear that he had tortured her.

"So you really did hurt my daughter!" The Celestial Palace Master didn't care anymore.

He created a rift behind him to send his daughter back through it before turning to face his opponent, fully prepared to engage with the Eternal Emperor.

He was determined to unleash his full potential, regardless of the consequences, even if it meant challenging the might of the powerful monarch. There was no turning back until he had avenged his daughter by killing Xu Shan!

The Eternal Emperor also opened a void to send his son back.

Suddenly, in the midst of the field, Xu Shan's voice echoed with a trace of emotion. "This is what I get for trying to help you - you ask your own father to kill me."

Yu Fei appeared taken aback and perplexed. It dawned on her that her father was referring to Xu Shan.

"Father, stop!" She exclaimed, not entering the void!

"He didn't hurt me! He saved me!" She spoke, calming down a little.

At first, she was quite shaken. However, after a little while, she seemed to have recovered significantly. This was largely due to her father removing the constraints on her physical abilities, allowing her to regain her strong and confident demeanor.

She lifted her hand and pointed in Xu Shan's direction. But by then, Xu Shan had already stepped aside, creating an open space.

The revelation was suddenly crystal clear. The accusatory finger was not aimed at him, but at Qin Ye!

"She-" she attempted to speak, but once again the fear inside her caused her body to quiver.

With great struggle, she started speaking.

[One day ago]

Xu Shan finished writing his wish in the Book of Desires. Xinren couldn't even read it in time. It was only when he finished that she moved next to him, noticing what he had written.

As she went through the wish, she was slightly surprised. "This... This is what you want to do?!"

Xu Shan closed the dark book with a sense of calmness, its pages now transformed to a golden hue indicating that his wish had been granted. He neatly placed the book into his storage ring and reclined back in his chair to relax.

"Correct. As long as everything goes according to plan, this will be the final blow to his downfall," Xu Shan affirmed. "My priority now is to ensure that my father and the Celestial Palace Master are there to prevent any possible escape."

"Memory manipulation..." Xinren couldn't help but shake her head lightly. She was certainly surprised at how thorough Xu Shan was.

A minor alteration had been made to Yu Fei's memories of the restaurant incident. The recollection no longer involved his men drugging her; instead, the memory had been revised to depict unidentified individuals, dressed in Qin Dynasty clothing, as the culprits responsible for the murder of everyone present and Yu Fei's subsequent abduction.

As an added touch, Xu Shan also added a part in the memories where those guards took Xinren to a place.

There Qin Ye met her, and very conveniently explained 'his' entire plan about how 'he' wanted both Celestial Palace and Eternal Dynasty to fight so he could control both when they were at their weakest!

Qin Ye subjected her to brutal torture, at times leaving deep knife marks on her face and skin. Eventually, he grew tired of her and ordered his guards to dispose of her by killing and burying her in an undisclosed location.

Moreover, as a finishing touch, Xu Shan made it so that he just happened to find her after she escaped from the Qin Ye's guards. And like the hero he was, he offered her some of the most expensive healing potions he had to heal all her wounds while allowing her to stay in his palace until she recovered completely.

Qin Ye wanted him to play the villain before the Celestial Palace Master. He wanted to reveal his true nature in front of everyone while using Yu Fei. However, Xu Shan used the opportunity he created to frame him instead.

He had already created enough evidence. First, he was able to devour the effects of the Seven Star Herb thanks to his Celestial Spirit which allowed him to lie openly. And secondly, there was Yu Fei who no one could prove as a liar!

[Present time]

Yu Fei can vividly recall the scars on her face and body, along with the excruciating pain that caused her to tremble with fear.

She didn't know that such a thing never happened. She had never suffered through such a torture and it was just a false memory!

Qin Ye was completely baffled by the turn of events. It felt like he had been invited to a party, only to find the rug suddenly yanked out from under him just as he was about to take a seat of honor.

He couldn't help but look at Xu Shan! He didn't know how Xu Shan did it. However, things were as bad as they could be.

As he looked at Xu Shan, he observed a devilish grin on the young man's face that was only visible to him. It seemed as though he was staring at his prey like a predator.
