Lin Lingxiao indeed said, "Although Lin Lingxiao of that time roamed the martial world with the White Bone Demon Zither, earning the name Zither Revered, he still hadn't reached the pinnacle of the Zither Dao."

"The fact that he still held the White Bone Demon Zither meant he hadn't severed his final attachments. Thus, he couldn't reach the peak."

"Afterward, he personally destroyed the demon zither, shattering its spirit."

"I heard that Xiao Chun has an instinctive rejection of music. I think it's because her past life's spirituality hasn't completely disappeared!"

My expression immediately darkened: "Lin Lingxiao, tell me, are you a reincarnated being, or did you sneak across the Huangquan?"

Lin Lingxiao lowered his head, seemingly unwilling to answer my question.

I suppressed my anger and said, "Ye Yang, go investigate. Find Shang Xingyan to investigate."

Ye Yang walked away with a grim face, and soon returned: "He is a reincarnated being. There is a record in the Book of Life and Death!"

It is possible for people who are normally reincarnated to suddenly awaken their memories of their previous lives under certain special circumstances.

As for why this happens, even we术士 (Shushi – Taoist sorcerers) cannot explain it clearly.

In the end, a senior术士 (Shushi – Taoist sorcerer) gave a ridiculous answer: "They didn't drink enough Meng Po Soup (Soup of Oblivion)."

No matter what, Lin Lingxiao's matter is difficult to handle!

According to the rules of the术道 (Shudao – Way of the Occult), the grievances of the previous life should stay in the previous life.

The Zither Revered has been reincarnated as Lin Lingxiao, and all his previous grievances should be written off.

However, Nie Xiao Chun has not been reincarnated!

She has always existed as a spirit of an object.

The fact that she doesn't remember the past doesn't mean that she won't suddenly remember everything from the past at some point.

At that time, how should we deal with the problem at hand?

While I was thinking, Lao Liu opened his mouth and said, "You said that you shattered the spirit of the zither at that time, so why did Xiao Chun still appear in the underworld?"

Lin Lingxiao shook his head and said, "I did shatter the White Bone Demon Zither. I don't know why Xiao Chun didn't die."

Before I could speak, Lao Liu continued to ask, "Did you later reach the peak of the Zither Dao?"

"No!" Lin Lingxiao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although I shattered the White Bone Demon Zither, I didn't shatter the zither in my heart. Xiao Chun's shadow has always been in my heart."

"After the Zither Revered understood all of this, he went mad and finally died in Falling霞谷 (Luoxia Valley)."

"I think that when the Zither Revered was reincarnated, his obsession from his previous life must have been too strong, which led to him awakening his memories of his previous life!"

Lao Liu looked at me and said, "Master, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know!" I shook my head and said, "Xiao Chun's revenge should be avenged by herself. But, she doesn't even remember this revenge. Do we still have to bring that memory back to Xiao Chun?"

"Xiao Chun, isn't she happy now?"

Lao Liu also said, "If we kill Lin Lingxiao, we will definitely have to give Xiao Chun an explanation. Maybe, under the stimulation, she might really remember what happened back then. This is not only not a good thing for Xiao Chun, but even a disaster."

I stood up and walked back and forth in the room a few times before saying, "Lin Lingxiao, leave! From now on, don't come to Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall) again, and don't see Xiao Chun again."

"Only the five of us know about today's matter. If a sixth person knows, I won't spare you!"

"Go!"

Lin Lingxiao stood up with a complicated expression and said, "Hall Master Li, you will attack Liangjie Mountain (Two Realms Mountain), right?"

I didn't understand what he meant, but Lin Lingxiao said, "Please give me a chance to die for Xiao Chun!"

"That's your business!" I didn't look at Lin Lingxiao again, and the latter quietly left Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall).

I looked at Wang Butcher and said, "Senior sister, did I do the right thing?"

Wang Butcher said, "You can't say it's wrong! It's really hard to measure this kind of thing with right or wrong. However, it's still right not to let Xiao Chun know the truth for the time being!"

"Let's wait and see what happens next!"

"That's the only way!" I changed the topic and said, "I roughly understand the origin of Nie Xiao Chun."

"Nie Xiao Chun is the spirit of the White Bone Demon Zither. In other words: she should be a qin ling (zither spirit)."

"Back then, when Lin Lingxiao shattered the White Bone Demon Zither, although he was mentally prepared, he did not kill the last trace of emotion in his heart, so he subconsciously held back."

"It was precisely because of this that Nie Xiao Chun survived."

"Later, Nie Xiao Chun encountered the Empress for some unknown reason."

"The Empress should have turned Nie Xiao Chun into her artifact spirit. This is why Nie Xiao Chun can unlock the Empress's zither score."

Lao Liu was suddenly shocked: "Xiao Chun is in danger!"

I turned to look at Lao Liu and said, "What do you mean?"

Lao Liu said, "Legend has it that the Emperor lost himself in reincarnation in order to find the Empress and could not get out."

"This shows that the Empress fell somewhere not long after she left. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to enter reincarnation."

"After the Empress died, she brought Nie Xiao Chun into the underworld."

"Nie Xiao Chun is an artifact spirit and cannot be reincarnated. The Empress's reincarnation left her in the underworld. Nie Xiao Chun also became a ghost messenger by chance and was sent to Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall)."

I narrowed my eyes and said, "You mean, Nie Xiao Chun can find the Empress?"

Lao Liu said, "No, I mean, she can find the Emperor."
