The First Genocide Hatred

  The person holding her was none other than Shang Liuyue, who was about to return to the Shang country!

  What a familiar pair of eyes, it was these eyes that peered into his heart: "Chen Er!" The surging emotions left him bewildered, and he didn't even notice that they were actually two completely different small faces, yet he tightly hugged her!

  How many days and nights of thoughts have caused this man's emotions to burst forth at this moment, all because of the pair of eyes in front of him that are more familiar than anything else.

  The current Mei'er is a soul that has crossed over into Wu Chen'er's body, so she has her own memories from the modern era as well as all of Wu Chen'er's memories from her past life!

  Although she didn't quite understand why she had returned to this world amidst the chaos of time and space, now, she really thought of herself as Wu Chen'er!

  So she can empathize with Wu Chen's personal feelings, and the same is true for the heart-wrenching people. The hurt and pain emanating from Shang Liyou will bring out all the guilt that Wu Chen had towards this man, making Mei'er involuntarily sad, only, she cannot recognize him!

  Taking a deep breath, he subconsciously pushed him away and said expressionlessly: "Sir, I think you've mistaken me for someone else!" After taking another breath, his eyes were already cold and detached.

  Shang Li Yu suddenly raised his head, only to find that the familiar weak eyes had disappeared, and in front of him was not Chen Er, but a handsome young man!

  "Right, sorry!" He silently scolded himself for being crazy, hugging and holding onto a man. Thinking about it now, Shang Liyou felt embarrassed and quickly apologized.

  An just finished settling the bill and walked out, only to see this scene. His sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed, it was that man in blue!

  He recognized him as the man who had saved Mei'er yesterday, and for some reason, he felt that those big hands on Mei'er's waist were somewhat annoying.

  "Looks like I missed something?" Anan raised her black eyes, looking at Shang Liyou's gaze seemed not very friendly, and her large hand subconsciously pulled Mei'er back to her side.

  Mei'er secretly elbowed Anan with her elbow, who was in pain and gritted his teeth, but still pretended to be nonchalant.

  "Thank you, brother, for saving me just now!" Mei'er deliberately lowered her voice, she knew Shang Liyou too well, this man was more cunning than she had imagined.

  This low voice was indeed not Chen Er! He thought too much! Shang Liyou's slightly haggard handsome face couldn't hide his deep loss: "A trivial matter, what's the point of mentioning it?"

  His voice is still as warm and gentle as it was in the beginning, but it's permeated with a deep-seated pain that makes one's heart ache imperceptibly. Such an outstanding man, yet there are people who can bear to let him feel such sorrow, it's really not right.

  After finishing speaking, Shang Liyou slightly nodded his head, turned around dejectedly, and thought to himself that he really missed Chen'er too much, even seeing a man made him think of her. However, he didn't know that the person he had been thinking about day and night was just in his arms a moment ago!

  Mei'er stared blankly at Shang Liyou's desolate back, the sinking feeling in her chest made her heart ache, as if something had scratched it hard, it hurt so much that she felt suffocated. Silently, she whispered: "Second brother, I'm sorry..."

  Although she is now a Mei'er, she still retains all the emotions and hatred of Wu Chen'er, so she will involuntarily be influenced by Wu Chen'er's thoughts, loving what she loves, hating what she hates!

  "Do you know him?" Anan asked with a puzzled expression, her black eyes narrowing as she stood beside Mei'er.

  "I don't know!" Mei'er's eyes narrowed, a cold expression already floating on her face. She turned her head and walked away to one side. She couldn't let anyone see through the crack. One day, she would tell Shang Liuyou the truth with her own mouth, but it was absolutely not now.

  "It's impossible, I don't know him. How did you end up saving him yesterday? Could it be that the man you secretly met last night was him?" Anan chased after her, and for some reason, his voice carried a hint of sourness. He always felt that Mei'er must have known the man from earlier!

  "He's the one who saved me, so I'll naturally save him too. It's just a matter of courtesy, what's strange about that? Besides, if he was the one I went out to meet secretly last night, how could he not recognize me? I really want to know, do you think with your brain or your toes?"

  An didn't want her to get angry again, so he smiled and tried to please her: "Okay okay! If you don't know each other, let's just forget I said anything! Don't be mad at me anymore, or else..." His eyes gleamed with a sly light as he slowly leaned in close to him.

  "You're crazy! I'm too lazy to bother with you!" Mei'er was already in a bad mood, and she didn't have the energy to waste on him, so she ignored him and walked away quickly.

  "Hey, wait for me, you can't go too fast, or else if Xia Yu Xuan sees us together, it'll be trouble!" An Na hurriedly followed after him.

  "No need to remind me!" Mei'er played it cool, but she was worried that Xia Yu Xuan would become suspicious later on. After all, considering the speed of their team, this trip to Shang Guo wouldn't be just a day or two. If Ling Feng were to reveal any weaknesses then, things would really be bad!

  It seems that she should find a way to meet with Xia Yu Xuan, rather than being anxious and hiding it from him. She believes that Xia Yu Xuan will not leak the secret out.

  An Nan followed her with a helpless expression, and could only temporarily turn himself into a mute. In the days of getting along with each other, he began to understand Mei Er's temperament a little bit. As long as she started to put on a cold face, his mouth had to be careful, otherwise, the consequences would definitely be terrible!

  The two of them still followed the wedding procession from a distance, stopping and starting along the way, quarreling and making a fuss, and the days passed by like this!

  Deep in a forest.

  "Jin Ying, you actually failed this time! You've really disappointed me!" Xia Han Xuan's suppressed anger was enough to set the entire forest ablaze.

  "The master's anger subsided, and the subordinate was about to make a mistake. It wasn't an accident, but rather a group of assassins suddenly appeared out of nowhere, each one mercilessly killing the Holy Maiden and others. Later, a blue-clothed man emerged, who should be a chivalrous hero. Those assassins won't give up easily, so we can't reveal our identities. We can only return to report to the master for now!" Jin Ying lowered his head very low.

  "A group of assassins? Who is so bold as to dare harm the Holy Maiden of Western Xia!" Upon hearing that someone was going to make a move against Mei'er, Xia Hanxuan's eyes widened in shock, and he swiftly turned around, sternly asking: "Have you investigated the opponent's identity?"

  Jin Ying and the others looked at each other in dismay, shaking their heads: "The martial arts of those black-clad men are not inferior to ours, and their lightness skills are top-notch. We can't catch up with them at all. We're also afraid they might hurt the Holy Maiden. Moreover, the one escorting her now is the Third Prince, so we don't dare take rash action. That's why we've come back to ask for your instructions, Master!"

  Xia Hanxuan's sword-like eyebrows furrowed deeply into a line as he listened to Jin Ying's words, his angular face clouding over with an ominous gloom. He paced back and forth several times before stopping abruptly: "It seems someone doesn't want the Holy Maiden to go to Shang Guo, and has ruthlessly struck out at her - how vicious!"

  He paused, then ordered: "Jin Ying, you and your team quietly follow the wedding procession from behind, find a suitable opportunity to make another move! Remember, under no circumstances can you be discovered by the Third Prince; if you encounter those assassins again, you must investigate their identities clearly, absolutely cannot let them harm the Holy Maiden!"

  "Yes!" Jin Ying and others quietly left.

  The dark forest suddenly fell silent, Xia Hanxuan seemed to let out a soft sigh and turned to leave, he suddenly felt that the situation was far more serious than he had imagined.

  But no matter what, he will never let Mei'er fall into the arms of Shang Li Tian! The Holy Maiden of Western Xia is destined to marry only the future Great King of Western Xia, and that is Xia Hanxuan!

  Somewhere, in a dilapidated temple, the same smoke is billowing!

  "Second brother! Why do you want to stop my plan? Are you trying to let the Shang Dynasty branch out and scatter, forever inheriting the throne?" The black-robed Shang Jun's face turned red with rage.

  Shang Li's face still had that faintly haggard expression, and his voice was still soft and unhurried: "Big brother, this is Third Brother's own business, we have no right to interfere. Besides, even if you kill the Western Xia saintess now, what then? You can't just keep killing one after another, can you?"

  It turned out that those black-clothed killers were sent by Shang Lijun.

  "I don't care! It was Shang Li who snatched everything from me, and as soon as he ascended to the throne, he drove us out of the imperial city. How can I swallow this? As long as he has no children, he must follow the opinions of the old ministers and establish my son as the crown prince. At that time, this world will still be mine!" Shang Li is still dreaming of being an emperor!

  He was unwilling to give up, so he wanted to kill the Western Xia Holy Maiden who was said to be able to help the Queen of Shangguo conceive, cutting off everyone's thoughts.

  "Big brother, don't you understand yet? The Third Brother of today is completely different from the one we used to know. He's still young and has plenty of time to have children, how can we slaughter innocent people for our own selfish desires?" Shang Liyou was as kind and gentle as ever, without any conflict with the world.

  "Second brother! What's your idea? I just want to take back what belongs to me. At that time, it was Shang Li who let Chen Er come and confuse me. He clearly knew that Father Emperor would go at that time, clearly knew that I was drunk, but he deliberately called Chen Er over at that time, and let Father Emperor abolish me in a fit of rage. How can I swallow this resentment?"

  As soon as this was mentioned, Shang Liyou's face didn't look good: "Big brother, I don't know what the situation was like at the time, but I believe in Chen'er. Although she helped San Di, she wouldn't betray herself to achieve her goals!" He knew Wu Chen'er just like that, and no matter what, he couldn't bring himself to believe that Chen'er would do such a thing.

  "Second brother! Are you saying I did that on purpose?" Shang Li Jun's face had turned iron-green, the veins on his forehead starting to bulge.

  Shang Liyou also picked up his words and asked back, "Big brother, didn't you have any feelings for Chen'er from the beginning? Then, how do you explain what happened by the imperial pool? What I saw with my own eyes, was that also a mistake?"

  Thinking back to the scene by the imperial pool, even the normally good-tempered Shang Liyou couldn't help but get angry. If he hadn't arrived in time, Chen'er would probably have been killed by his older brother...

  "Second brother! I admit, at first I had some improper thoughts about Chen'er, but I still think it was a trap set by third brother! He let Chen'er intentionally get close to me, to confuse me and then frame me! And you're the same, don't you dare say that on that night with Chen'er wasn't her plotting against you?"

  "Big brother, you're really unreasonable! Chen Er has been gone for three years and you still keep slandering her. If she knew about this in the afterlife, she would be restless! I was indeed at fault back then, that's why I left to wander far away. I don't blame anyone, nor do I blame Chen Er!" Shang Liyou had reached his limit of tolerance towards big brother's repeated slandering of the person he loved!

  "Second brother, you're so protective of Chen'er. Could it be that the rumors are true and you really like her?" Perhaps it was Shang Liyou's overly excited expression that raised Shang Lijun's suspicions: "Was it because of her that you intentionally lost to third brother back then?"

  Shang Liyou was like someone who had been seen through, subconsciously turning his face away: "I said it before, I truly didn't want that throne, which is why I let San Di have it! This has nothing to do with Chen Er!" Liking one's own sister-in-law was already a taboo, how could he still dare to acknowledge it.

  "Second brother! I don't want to dig up past matters, but now you can choose not to help me. However, don't stop me, or else don't blame me for not showing brotherly affection! The Western Xia Holy Maiden must die! I won't let third brother have the chance to leave behind descendants!" Shang Li Jun's face was filled with extreme venom, as if he would only be satisfied when Shang Li Tian was torn into a million pieces.

  "Big brother......" Shang Liyou still seemed like he wanted to say something else.

  However, Shang Li Jun didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore. With a wave of his sleeve, he said: "Enough! Second brother! You are kind-hearted, but I am not the same. Third brother took away what was supposed to be mine, and I will definitely take it back by any means necessary! I have planned for three years, and this time, even God can't stop me!"

  Shang Li Jun angrily swept his sleeves and left, he was determined to take everything back!

  "Big brother, why don't you understand? Some things have already been decided by heaven! If it's yours, you can't escape; if it's not yours, no matter how hard you try, it won't come to you!" Shang Liyou gazed at his big brother's departing back, shaking his head in frustration. Just like him and Chen'er, Chen'er loved San Ge, but he had fallen for Chen'er - this was also fate!

  A sigh came from the darkness, and he suddenly felt very helpless and confused. What is the point of living after all?

  He lives for the promise to Chen Er, and in his heart, he always feels that Chen Er is still by his side. As for Da Ge, he lives for power. But what about San Di? He still can't understand why the once kind-hearted San Di became so ruthless.

  At the moment when he ordered the execution of the nine clans of Wu, did his heart not have a single hesitation?

  The team of Heqin continued to move forward slowly, and since Xia Yuxuan arrived, they strengthened their vigilance. The team seemed to be going smoothly all the way, and with the State of Shang in sight, Mei'er, who was following far behind the Heqin team, couldn't hide her inner excitement.

  However, the closer they got to Shangguo, the more uneasy Mei'er felt. Those assassins would not give up easily, and this calm before the storm made her feel restless!
