Tan Songyun recalled every moment of the year she had spent with Tian Kai—the emotions that had consumed her, the warmth of his presence, and the touch of his fingers on her body.
Then, she remembered the countless rumors she had heard about Tian Kai over tens of thousands of years, along with the hatred and anger that had festered within her. While the year she had spent with Tian Kai had been filled with joy, she couldn't simply cast aside the anguish and betrayal that had consumed her for thousands of years, as if it had never existed.
Even if the rumors were untrue and Tian Kai was innocent, the anguish Tan Songyun had endured was undeniably real and couldn't simply be dismissed.
'Tian Kai was innocent…? Then what have I been doing all these years? What am I doing with my life now?'
After a very long moment of silence, Tan Songyun suddenly smacked herself in the face and shook it off.
"Even after tens of thousands of years of feeling betrayed, it is undeniable that I still love Tian Kai to a certain extent, and if it turns out that all of the rumors I've heard about him are false, I will atone for my crimes."
"However, there's no way for me to confirm your words as of this moment, and I am no longer foolish enough to believe everything I hear. Therefore, I am going to follow and watch you to confirm it."
"You're going to follow me?" Yuan's eyes widened at her words.
"What's with that look? You don't want me to? Are you afraid I might expose the real you?" Tan Songyun frowned.
"No… that's not it. Didn't you hear me? I am currently being hunted by the Celestial Emperor. I also have many enemies. If you stay with me, I cannot guarantee your safety."
"So what? Even if I die in the process, I will not have any regrets—except that I won't be able to find out the truth."
