The Whole World Wants Me To Get Divorced chapter 64
Heavenly Dao
A thousand years ago, the Ghost King owed Su Meng a favor, so when the couple approached him to inquire about Wen Yan’s past life, he readily agreed. However, the information he relayed back not only failed to resolve Su Meng and Qin You’s doubts but deepened them.
The Ghost King used a voice transmission talisman to deliver the key points of the matter concisely.
“I couldn’t find Wen Yan’s past life. He didn’t enter the cycle of reincarnation in my ghost realm, but he also isn’t a new soul from the original source. His soul lacks the imprint of the original source.”
In the mortal realm, a soul concludes its cycle every ten lifetimes. When a soul disperses, a new, innocent soul is born in the original source, starting a new cycle. The ghost realm oversees life and death, even if a soul escapes, traces of it can still be glimpsed.
However, Wen Yan belonged to neither category. It was as if he appeared out of thin air, not under the jurisdiction of the ghost realm.
The Ghost King, rare with a hint of interest, wondered, “Who could evade the cycle of life and death and directly send him into reincarnation? This person must be more powerful than me. I couldn’t find anything, sorry.”
After saying this, the voice transmission talisman automatically ignited, turning into a wisp of blue smoke, leaving behind a lingering sandalwood scent.
Su Meng and Qin You exchanged puzzled glances; the results were genuinely unexpected.
Qin You couldn’t help but say, “Aside from us, Rong Xiao, the Ghost King, who else can bypass the cycle of life and death? It can’t be that gods are still alive, right?”
Su Meng had a vague guess in his mind, but it was impossible to verify. Now that the gods were dead, the only force that could surpass them was the Heavenly Dao.
He didn’t say much to Qin You, just repeated the information he received from the Ghost King.
Qin You and Su Meng had decided not to go abroad for the time being. They lived in the mansion on the Green Mountain, visiting Rong Xiao’s house every now and then.
Wen Yan was indeed a lovely young man. Qin You had quickly become acquainted with him. A millennium-old monster and a human teenager seemed to share a similar mentality, now playing cards together. A pile of jade and jewels served as their stakes, and the losers even had to write IOUs.
Su Meng and Rong Xiao watched the scene with gentle smiles.
Wen Yan and Qin You weren’t having much luck. Covered in dirt from their losses, they already had several IOUs on their faces, looking both pitiful and adorable.
However, after watching for a while, Su Meng remembered something. The smile on his face gradually faded.
He took a sip of tea, remained silent for a while, and then said to Rong Xiao, “A few days ago, I asked the Ghost King to check something.”
Rong Xiao, still watching Wen Yan act petulant, casually replied, “What did you check?”
“I checked Wen Yan’s past life.”
Rong Xiao’s gaze shifted to Su Meng, and his smile diminished a bit. He wasn’t pleased with Su Meng and Qin You’s actions. To him, Wen Yan was Wen Yan; his past life was irrelevant.
Without much explanation, Su Meng recounted the information he received from the Ghost King.
Rong Xiao’s expression subtly changed. Indeed, Wen Yan’s background was too mysterious.
Unable to hold back his worry, Su Meng said, “Don’t you feel something is off about this whole situation? How can someone identical to Yan Gu appear exactly three thousand years later as Wen Yan? He has no past life, isn’t under the jurisdiction of the ghost realm, and coincidentally meets you and becomes your fiancé.”
Over the past few days, Su Meng had been thinking a lot, always feeling that something was suspicious, like this was a chessboard, and Wen Yan and Yan Gu were just pieces on it.
Rong Xiao calmly asked Su Meng, “What are you trying to say?”
“I mean, isn’t it strange that there’s someone more formidable than both of us, someone who can bypass the cycle of life and death? There’s only one possibility: the Heavenly Dao.”
Only the Heavenly Dao could manipulate the laws of the world.
It could explain why Wen Yan appeared so strangely and possessed such power.
Su Meng continued, “Have you ever thought that if Wen Yan is truly a creation of the Heavenly Dao, then your encounter and love with him might not be accidental?”
He liked Wen Yan too. However, the more time he spent with him, the more anxious he felt. Wen Yan was just too similar to Yan Gu, from appearance to personality, temperament, and speech, like looking into a mirror.
So much so that he couldn’t help but suspect that Wen Yan might be a pawn deliberately set by the Heavenly Dao to mess with Rong Xiao.
Just like how the Heavenly Dao manipulated the laws back then, causing many powerful monsters of their time to fall.
Su Meng made his thoughts clearer, “Don’t you think that the Heavenly Dao, if it really exists, would intentionally send someone like Yan Gu back to you, just to reunite you two?”
Rong Xiao knew Su Meng’s concerns, but he remained silent. Spring had arrived; the courtyard was filled with moist air, fresh vegetation, and a gentle breeze carrying subtle floral scents.
Wen Yan was still pondering how to turn the game around. A flower fell on his hair without him noticing. He turned to talk to Qin You, and the flower, still a bud, fell onto his hand.
Rong Xiao lightly hooked his hand, and the bud bloomed into vibrant green branches, entwining Wen Yan’s fingertips.
Feeling his fingers itch, Wen Yan looked down, realizing Rong Xiao was playing a little trick. He smiled at Rong Xiao, innocent and tender.
With just one look, Rong Xiao felt the world dimming, as if Wen Yan were the only bright spot.
Rong Xiao whispered to Su Meng, “What does telling me all this have to do with my love for Wen Yan? Will I stop loving him just because he has an unusual background?”
He wouldn’t. Even if someone told him that the boy sleeping beside him every night would take his life, he couldn’t stop loving Wen Yan.
His heart had long fallen into Wen Yan’s hands, and he had surrendered it along with his destiny.
So, why bother with unnecessary worries? Rong Xiao calmly said, “If Wen Yan is indeed a creation sent to me by the Heavenly Dao, I will accept it willingly. And if the Heavenly Dao wants to use Wen Yan, then I will go against the heavens and earth for him.”
He didn’t consider himself capable of overpowering the Heavenly Dao, but this was Wen Yan, his only love. He couldn’t be separated from him, so why bother seeking trouble.
In the courtyard, the flowers, plants, and trees rustled without wind.
A moment ago, the sky was clear, but now it suddenly became densely covered with dark clouds, and within an instant, raindrops the size of beans began to fall.
However, no one present was an ordinary person; a transparent barrier was erected, and not a single drop of rain could enter the courtyard.
Rong Xiao no longer spoke much with Su Meng, nor did he give Su Meng another chance to persuade him.
He silenced Su Meng with a sentence, “If you find out now that Qin You is a pawn of the Heavenly Dao, would you also guard against her?”
Su Meng choked.
“I have known Qin You for thousands of years…” he argued in a low voice.
Rong Xiao, with a smile, glanced at him and dropped a sentence, “Ageless as new, as devoted as ever.”
After that, he no longer paid attention to this friend, instead walking over to Wen Yan and joining the card game. He helped Wen Yan with the cards, quickly turning the situation around. This irritated Qin You, who protested loudly, accusing him of cheating.
Su Meng could only smile helplessly from behind.
Rong Xiao’s temperament was something he had long experienced, but he still insisted on going along.
Fortunately, Su Meng also joined the game to assist his own wife.
………………..
Time passed quickly, more than a month had gone by.
Qin You’s relationship with Wen Yan had grown even better. She visited Wen Yan to hang out with him every few days, as if the two of them were destined friends.
She also learned of Su Meng’s speculation.
However, she leaned back on the cushion, changed the color of her nails, and without raising her head, asked, “If the Heavenly Dao wants Rong Xiao to fall, why send Wen Yan to cure him? Why not let him die directly?”
Su Meng: “…”
Although bluntly put, it was the truth.
Su Meng was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to retort.
Qin You no longer paid attention to her seemingly scheming husband, picked up her small bag, and went to meet Wen Yan.
Su Meng tended to overthink, while she tended to think less.
When the enemy comes, soldiers block; when water comes, earth dams. What’s the use of plotting and scheming? Just determine the outcome with force.
She walked to Rong Xiao’s house, rang the doorbell, and barged in. While walking and talking loudly, she said, “Wan Wan, have you changed into your clothes? We agreed to go watch a movie today.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a pair of icy cold eyes. Rong Xiao was staring at her with resentment.
“Why can’t Su Meng accompany you? What’s the point of always dragging someone else’s partner around every day?” Rong Xiao sneered, finding Qin You displeasing to the eye.
He even considered sending Qin You abroad again.
Qin You flipped her long curly hair, charming and bright, smiled at Wen Yan walking downstairs, and then leisurely said, “It’s none of your business. If you have the ability, try and stop us.”
After saying this, she picked up Wen Yan’s hand and proudly walked away.
