Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan looked at each other and decided to temporarily retreat outside the dungeon to discuss countermeasures.

"We seem to have missed something key." Jiang Yanwan said.

"We need more information." Wu Junyao took a deep breath, "Only by thoroughly understanding her background can we find clues to get out of this predicament."

"Perhaps we can find more clues from her words and actions." Jiang Yanwan suggested, "If we can touch upon some of the emotions in her heart, perhaps we can find a breakthrough."

Back in the dungeon, the two decided to try again. This time, they chose a roundabout tactic, using a layer-by-layer analysis method to try to uncover the secret deep in Yun Ji's heart.

"Why are you so obsessed with that hairpin?" Wu Junyao asked straight to the point.

Yun Ji's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity, "That was the most precious thing in my previous life."

"Previous life?" Jiang Yanwan caught this important information and continued to ask, "Could this hairpin be related to someone in your previous life?"

Yun Ji glared at her, but her eyes were clearly shaken, "You don't understand the truth of this world."

"We are willing to understand." Wu Junyao said calmly, "Maybe this way we can understand each other better."

"You mortals cannot understand the pain and complexity of those who are reborn." Yun Ji said coldly, but her eyes were no longer full of hardness.

Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan exchanged glances, knowing that they were getting closer to the truth and they had to continue guiding carefully.

Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan looked at each other and realized that they had touched a pain point deep in Yun Ji's heart. Wu Junyao continued to ask in a calm tone, "Are you willing to take us to see your regrets in your previous life?"

Yun Ji was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll take you to a place."

In the darkness of night, the three quietly left the castle and walked along the deep path to a dilapidated village in the distance. It was a poor place with dilapidated houses and a cold and gloomy atmosphere.

Yun Ji stopped in front of an abandoned farmhouse, the pain of memories showing on her face. "This is my home in my previous life." She pointed at the farmhouse, her voice mixed with bitterness and resentment.

Jiang Yanwan looked around with mixed feelings and said, "This place looks desolate but is full of your memories. Why did you bring us here?"

Yun Ji said slowly, "Three girls once lived in this place: me, Xiao Cui, and my biological sister. They were my only playmates, but they betrayed me when I needed them the most."

"Betray?" Wu Junyao asked doubtfully, "How did they betray you?"

A trace of pain flashed in Yun Ji's eyes, "Xiao Cui knew my biological sister's life experience, but she hid it from me. My biological sister was found by a well-off family, but I was left here, all alone."

Jiang Yanwan's heart moved, and she asked tentatively, "Is your biological sister Liu Mengli?"

Yun Ji suddenly raised her head, her eyes sharp as a knife, "How did you know?"

Jiang Yanwan looked at her firmly and said, "We also gradually inferred it through some clues. If you are willing to tell us more, perhaps we can solve more mysteries."

Yun Ji's expression became complicated. She gritted her teeth and finally said, "Since you have already guessed it, I will tell you. Liu Mengli and I were dependent on each other, but after she was taken back to the wealthy family, she never came back to find me. Xiao Cui knew the truth, but chose to conceal it, leaving me to suffer alone."

"So after you were reborn, you decided to take revenge on them?" Jiang Yanwan asked in a low voice.

Yun Ji sneered, "Yes, since they have betrayed me, I will let them taste the feeling of loss!"

Wu Junyao took a deep breath and said, "If you do this, it will only continue the pain and hatred, and such a result will not benefit anyone."

"You mortals won't understand!" Yun Ji roared angrily, "Only those who have been reborn know this heart-wrenching feeling!"

Jiang Yanwan felt pity for Yun Ji when she saw her agitated expression. She asked softly, "But you can never truly get rid of the shadow of the past. Perhaps, only by understanding the truth and forgiving yourself and others can you be truly free."

The madness and resentment in Yun Ji's eyes did not subside. Instead, she sneered, "Liberated? Haha, you are too naive! Only when I complete my revenge, I will be truly liberated!"

Wu Junyao knew that preaching at this time was meaningless, so he decided to try another approach. "In that case, let's go see Liu Mengli together and uncover the truth."

Yun Ji looked at him coldly, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll take you to see her."

The three of them returned to Liu Mengli's residence again. Yun Ji looked at the door coldly, her eyes unwavering.

When she opened the door, Liu Mengli was still lying in bed. She was a little surprised to see the three people who suddenly appeared. "Brother Jun Yao, Doctor Jiang, why are you..."

Before she finished speaking, her eyes fell on Yun Ji and she instantly became terrified, "You... who are you?"

Yun Ji sneered, "Liu Mengli, do you still recognize me? I am your biological sister. How long has Xiao Cui kept this secret from you?"

Liu Mengli turned pale and quickly shook her head, "I don't know... I never knew these things!"

Yun Ji continued coldly, "Do you know? After you were taken away, I lived alone in this small village. It was not until Xiao Cui told me the truth that I knew my identity!"

Liu Mengli burst into tears. She weakly grabbed the quilt and choked, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't know these things."

Jiang Yanwan stepped forward and gently held Liu Mengli's hand. "You are biological sisters. You should not let this hatred separate you. Perhaps, understanding and forgiveness are what you really need."

Yun Ji's expression wavered slightly, but resentment still occupied her heart. "Understanding and forgiveness? On what basis? On your words?"

Wu Junyao took a deep breath and tried to persuade her with reason, "If you really want to be free, then you have to face the past and your emotions instead of filling the void with hatred."

Liu Mengli slowly stood up and stretched out her hand as hard as she could, "Sister, I'm sorry... I really don't know, but we can be together and start over, okay?"

Yun Ji looked at Liu Mengli's tears, and the ice in her heart gradually melted. She hesitated for a moment, and finally walked forward and held Liu Mengli's hand.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly jumped in from the window. It was one of Yun Ji's loyal men. He shouted sternly, "Chief, our people are under attack!"

Yun Ji's eyes turned cold, and she suddenly let go of Liu Mengli's hand. She turned to Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan and said, "It seems that our conversation has to be temporarily interrupted."

Jiang Yanwan said hurriedly, "We can help you solve the problem, but please give us another chance to continue this conversation."

Yun Ji pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, I accept your help, but if this matter cannot be resolved, then we still have to settle the accounts between us!"

Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan looked at each other, nodded in agreement, and quickly followed Yun Ji's footsteps to prepare for the impending crisis.

"Are you really willing to help me?" Yun Ji asked with a little doubt.

"Yes." Wu Junyao answered firmly.
