Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Everyone went out to do their work, and Jiang Xinxin also went out to find a quiet place to interrogate Wen Zongyu.

Only one night had passed outside, but Wen Zongyu had already stayed in the talisman paper space for a full seven days. During this period, he had not drunk a drop of water or eaten a grain of rice, and he still had to go to the toilet. It was really dirty. Jiang Xinxin destroyed the talisman paper as soon as she let him out.

Seven days of silent and dark life would be enough to drive many people crazy, but Wen Zongyu was not one of them. He just looked very embarrassed and a little irritable, but there was nothing else wrong with him.

Jiang Xinxin was not disappointed when she saw this. She hung the man under a big tree and started beating him with the Qingshuang Whip. She did not stop until Wen Zongyu was sweating profusely and dying.

"Go ahead, I want to know the whole story."

Wen Zongyu was amazing. Even when he was dying, he didn't let Jiang Xinxin fulfill her wish. Instead, he chatted with Jiang Xinxin with great interest: "Master Yuan Xin, I heard that you are a cultivator, and a very powerful cultivator, who can fly in the clouds and control the weather. I just don't know if you can live forever."

Jiang Xinxin turned a deaf ear and continued to ask, "I heard that your junior brother Meng Xuan fell in love with a demon girl, and they fell out and your wife was implicated. But I don't think it makes sense. What are you hiding?"

Wen Zongyu followed suit and asked the question he wanted to ask: "Master Yuan Xin, why can't humans master the power like the demons?"

Jiang Xinxin smiled and said, "It seems that you really have concealed a lot of things. I think it might be you who fell in love with that demon girl. Maybe you even used the identity of your junior brother Meng Xuan. As a result, when the relationship ended, you angered the demon girl. She was deceived by you and killed your junior brother and your wife to vent her anger."

"So, aren't you the culprit?"

Wen Zongyu's face turned very ugly, but now he looked a lot more energetic, and even the dying feeling of weakness just now disappeared completely.

Jiang Xinxin just found it funny. This old guy was really good at pretending. If he didn't make any mistakes, he would have achieved something unattainable.

Jiang Xinxin moved his fingers to put the man down, then raised his hand and turned a few dry branches on the ground into a set of tables and chairs. He then took out a pot of tea from the space and motioned Wen Zongyu to come over and sit down to drink tea.

"Since Zhen Mei has told you a lot about me, I will tell you clearly today. Whether you tell me or not, I will not let you see the sunset in the evening."

At this time, the morning sun had just risen and the dew on the grass had not even completely evaporated. All around was a vibrant forest. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves. When the leaves swayed in the wind, golden fragments floated everywhere.

Wen Zongyu couldn't help but smile as he smelled the tea. "Lord Yuan Xin, you've seen that the human world is so beautiful, and the demons have never stopped coveting it. Compared to the demons, humans are extremely weak. Even though there are offices like Chongwuying and the Demon Hunting Department that specialize in dealing with demons that hurt and harm people, they can often only deal with the aftermath and cannot save those whose lives have been harmed."

This makes a lot of sense and there is nothing wrong with it, but Jiang Xinxin just listened to it and was not moved by it.

Seeing that Jiang Xinxin didn't move, Wen Zongyu didn't care and continued, "Back then, I was still young and hadn't seen the cruel methods of the demons. Just because I had a decent appearance, I was targeted by a demon girl."

"At first I refused to have any contact with her. After all, I was married at that time and we had a very good relationship. I had no intention of betraying my wife. But after I learned the truth about that evil woman, I didn't dare to refuse her anymore because I was afraid that if she was rejected too many times, she would get angry and hurt someone. That would be bad."

Jiang Xinxin knew that it would be best for her to support the conversation at this time so that Wen Zongyu could continue speaking, or else she could raise objections, which would at least stimulate Wen Zongyu to say a few more words. But she was too lazy to do it, and just looked at Wen Zongyu with a half-smile. It didn't matter whether he said anything or not, she had plenty of ways to search his soul.

Seeing that Jiang Xinxin still didn't move, Wen Zongyu finally looked at her with a bit of awe, so he continued to raise the stakes: "Later, I played along with that witch for a while, and then I found out that she was the princess of the Dragon Fish Clan in the Great Wilderness. When she came to the human world to play, she was attracted to me unintentionally, and she even took out the Phoenix Pearl to please me."

"The Phoenix Pearl is actually the inner elixir of the mythical beast Phoenix. I don't know why it is in the hands of a water creature like the Dragon Fish Princess. I am very curious about the Phoenix Pearl, especially since the Phoenix has the ability to be reborn from the ashes. I really want to know if such a divine object can also give humans the ability to be reborn."

Jiang Xinxin just smiled and didn't say anything. Seeing that she really didn't care, Wen Zongyu began to get anxious, so he secretly raised the stakes again.

"At that time, I was very interested in the Phoenix Pearl, but that demon girl actually wanted me to show my affection before she would lend it to me for research. I was worried that the fact that I was married would be exposed and she would vent her anger on others, so I borrowed the identity of my junior brother Meng Xuan and called myself Meng Xuan to her. It just so happened that my junior brother was younger than me and more handsome, and he was not married yet, and he didn't even have an engagement."

"But later on, that evil woman wanted to marry me. I refused twice and she started investigating me secretly. She also saw me and my wife together, and she got so angry that she came to my house and killed my wife and child, as well as my junior brother."

"After committing such a murderous sin, she just patted her butt and returned to the Great Wilderness. I heard that she is still the little princess held in the hands of the Dragon Fish Clan. In fact, because of this so-called emotional injury, the Dragon Fish Clan loves her even more."

"And I am the only one who remembers the tragic deaths of my wife, children, and fellow apprentice brother!"

"So, why do the demons have such long lifespans and strong bodies, while humans not only have short lifespans but also very weak bodies? Even the elites like Chongwu Camp and the Demon Hunting Division who have achieved great success in cultivation rely on magical instruments passed down from ancient times to kill and capture demons."

"Why is God so unfair?"

Jiang Xinxin rolled her eyes secretly. She believed that of all what Wen Zongyu said, only his fear when he first found out that the dragon fish princess was not human was real, his grief and indignation over the deaths of his wife, children and fellow apprentices was also real, and his resentment towards the injustice of heaven was also real.

Oh, and it's also true that he covets the power of the Phoenix Pearl.

As for the rest, it was simply that the Dragon Fish Princess coveted Wen Zongyu's beauty, and Wen Zongyu coveted his treasure. There was nothing to argue about.
