In Ouyang Zixin's Mind, Yun Tianmo stood beside her, facing a scene of ruins that was nothing like the world they had seen before when entering her Mind.
"What is this…"
With a wave of her hand, everything before them changed. Ouyang Zixin slowly spoke, "Look, that vast grassland is all your territory… The largest tent in the middle is our home."
Following the direction of Ouyang Zixin's finger, Yun Tianmo turned to see a lush green field filled with numerous tents. Among them, the largest tent stood out prominently, adorned with vibrant decorations and surrounded by many people.
The faces of those people were indistinct, and their clothing was strange, not resembling any attire from the Three Great Empires of the Yuhai Continent. They cheered, laughed, played music, and some danced joyfully.
"Today is the first day of the Cloud Tribe Princess's birth." Ouyang Zixin's voice was filled with happiness, an emotion that Yun Tianmo had never felt from her before.
Indeed, as Ouyang Zixin's words fell, the tent flaps were lifted, and a man and woman emerged. They appeared very close to each other, with the woman holding a Cradle in her arms, obscuring the child within. Yet at that moment, Yun Tianmo felt an unexpected warmth in his heart, followed by a wave of sadness.
This was the legendary scene from a thousand years ago—himself with Ouyang Zixin and… their child.
Although Ouyang Zixin had witnessed this scene countless times before, she still couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes.
Yun Tianmo pulled her closer; the lively scene around them seemed unrelated to them yet felt intimately connected.
This feeling was peculiar.
The two of them moved through the crowd as if unnoticed and arrived at an open space outside the tent. The other people were mere illusions created within Ouyang Zixin's Mind, so they could not see these two individuals.
Yun Tianmo had never seen someone who looked exactly like him up close before. Was this how Ning Zhiyuan felt when he first met Nangong Tuo?
The man took the Cradle, lifted it high, and exclaimed, "This is our little princess! My clan's Legitimate Daughter!"
Cheers erupted, and everyone joyfully shouted, welcoming the arrival of the little princess.
Nearby, a woman who looked exactly like Ouyang Zixin smiled happily, her expression sweet.
For some reason, after seeing Ouyang Zixin so many times, she suddenly felt that the woman glanced at her. It was subtle, but she sensed it. Her heart tightened; what was happening? This was a situation she had never experienced before...
Yun Tianmo was engrossed in the scene and did not notice her unusual reaction.
In a blink, the scene changed.
It was still the grassland, and life seemed to have returned to calm. There were few people outside the tent, only the occasional patrolling guards passing by.
At that moment, a Sneaky Figure appeared in their line of sight. Yun Tianmo paused, feeling a sense of familiarity.
"That's him; he poisoned the little princess," Ouyang Zixin said with a hint of tension in her voice, still not fully recovered from her earlier shock.
Yun Tianmo furrowed his brow. The figure looked somewhat familiar, giving him an unsettling feeling. Although he knew it was just a memory, he couldn't help but take a step forward.
But Ouyang Zixin immediately grabbed him and shook her head at him. "It's useless; these are all illusions. You can't stop them."
In truth, Yun Tianmo didn't intend to stop anything; it was merely instinct. He wanted to see if that person was indeed what he had in mind. He turned to look at Ouyang Zixin, his eyes filled with questions.
The Sneaky Figure was very familiar with the terrain and soon reached the outside of the tent. He avoided all the guards, lifted the curtain of the Large Tent, and peeked inside. After confirming that there was no one inside, he quickly slipped out of sight.
At this moment, Ouyang Zixin pulled Yun Tianmo over, and the two entered the Large Tent without any hindrance. It seemed that Ouyang Zixin had been here several times before.
The tent was well-furnished; although not overly luxurious, it was clear that it had a warm atmosphere.
The Sneaky Figure quickly made his way to the small bed in the center and reached out to touch the Cradle. After confirming that the person inside was indeed the little princess, he turned to check behind him, ensuring no one had noticed him before reaching into his pocket.
However, this cautious action exposed him right in front of Yun Tianmo.
It really was him!
He never expected that a Thousand Years Ago, it was indeed he who had acted.
Yun Tianmo clenched his fists at his sides. At this moment, he had basically confirmed that the child in the Cradle was once his daughter, and the anger of witnessing someone poisoning her filled his entire being.
Ouyang Zixin heard Yun Tianmo grinding his teeth in anger and finally spoke up, "When I first saw him, I was also shocked. I wondered who he really was."
Was it Ning Zhiyuan or Nangong Tuo?
Yun Tianmo said in a deep voice, "A thousand years ago, perhaps we didn't know who he was, but looking at it now, I can only think of him as Nangong Tuo! Damn it!"
The Exiled Nation was originally Yun Tianmo's choice for cooperation to suppress the Dream Nation. Although he didn't think highly of Nangong Tuo, he hadn't regarded him as an enemy all these years. Even though Nangong Tuo had once coveted Ouyang Zixin, he considered it natural; after all, a gentleman seeks a beautiful lady.
But what did this scene before him mean?
Could it be that Exiled Nation is actually the descendants of those who betrayed them back then?
"You are being unfair with that judgment," Ouyang Zixin sighed.
Yun Tianmo snorted coldly, "Unfair? If they dared to poison, what fairness is there to speak of?"
The poisoning process was quick, and Yun Tianmo watched as he disappeared from sight.
After a while, the woman who looked just like Ouyang Zixin returned. It seemed she had gone to fetch new clothes for the child. She didn't notice anything unusual and continued humming a lullaby to soothe the baby.
"This poison is very potent; at first, it is completely undetectable, which is why the poisoner can act with impunity," Ouyang Zixin said.
Sure enough, the scene shifted, and the child had noticeably grown quite a bit, but the smile on the woman's face had vanished, replaced by deep sorrow.
The man returned from outside, his face filled with anger. "It was poison!"
The woman was clearly startled. "How could that be possible?"
The man replied, "How could it not be? I asked Divine Master to examine it thoroughly; he said this is a poison that keeps one in eternal unconsciousness!"
Upon hearing this, the woman gasped and fainted. The man rushed forward to support her and then vowed, "If we do not find out who the traitor is, I swear I will not be human! At worst, I will kill them all!" (To be continued.)
