Reborn As Super Heiress

Huo Sining’s eyes instantly reddened when she heard the string of audio files released by Gu Xu.

She felt as if she had returned to the moment before her death, her body silently lying on the operating table, with Liang Jingyi’s arrogant voice echoing in her ears.

It was this woman who used all means to destroy her, and in the end even took her life. How could she not hate her?

She understood in her heart that all of this was Liang Jingyi’s doing. Song Hui desperately needed a heart to save his life, and Gu Xu went to great lengths to help him find one, while Liang Jingyi used the influence of the Gu Family and the Song Family to try to kill and permanently silence her.

However, regardless of the truth, the only victim in the end was her.

Huo Sining didn’t understand what was going on with Gu Xu, but that didn’t stop her from coldly observing the mad revenge that befell Liang Jingyi and Zhao Mingcheng.

Gu Xu kept his word. After taking the pendant, it wasn’t long before someone entered the cabin, and soon, just like in Huo Sining’s past life, Liang Jingyi and Zhao Mingcheng had their hearts removed in the same manner.

The only difference was that in her past life, Huo Sining had been drugged and unconscious, feeling no pain, but Liang Jingyi and Zhao Mingcheng were fully awake, without anesthesia, and clearly felt the pain and torture of the entire surgery.

Listening to the tragic screams of the two, Huo Sining’s heart was unmoved.

After her reincarnation, she gave up on revenge against Liang Jingyi because she was no longer afflicted by Liang Jingyi’s schemes and was living a better life. However, the grudges of her past life were understood there; Liang Jingyi and Zhao Mingcheng were far from innocent, and their fate was nothing but revenge, the karma they deserved.

When the corpses of Liang Jingyi and Zhao Mingcheng were pushed into the sea and submerged by the waters, the hatred in Huo Sining’s heart also dissipated. But when she looked at the man on the deck clutching the pendant, trembling like a wounded beast in the wind, her mind was filled with confusion.

The Liang Family was destroyed, Liang Jingyi and Zhao Mingcheng were dead, but what truly happened, and why Gu Xu did these things for her, Huo Sining fully couldn’t comprehend.

But Huo Sining’s confusion was addressed a few days later when she opened her eyes to find Gu Xu had, at some unknown time, brought her through a winding path to a deep mountain and struggled to climb to the top. It wasn’t until they stood at the door of a Taoist temple that she had some understanding.

The door of the Taoist temple was dilapidated with the years, clearly having gone through millennia, desolate. Huo Sining originally thought that such a place must have long been abandoned, with perhaps no one left inside, but to her surprise, after Gu Xu stood at the door for a while, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and a boy in Taoist garb stood at the door, made a gesture to Gu Xu after bowing:

"The grandmaster is waiting for you inside."

Gu Xu showed no expression of surprise and didn’t say a word, walking straight in as if familiar with every tree and blade of grass, went adeptly toward the innermost house.

Following Gu Xu, Huo Sining was initially still somewhat dazed, not knowing what kind of place this was, but gradually her mind became clearer. The scenes that appeared in her dreams began to replay little by little before her eyes.

The mischievous little Taoist boy lay by the fish tank playing with the little shark, watching the old Taoist teaching with an innocent expression:

"Master, didn’t you say this shark was brought back from the Cang Hai? Why doesn’t it look like the fish in the books, with a fish tail and human body?"

Sneakily bringing food to feed the little shark, the little Taoist boy:

"Little goldfish, I brought you something tasty, look, white steamed buns, the kitchen aunt makes it only once a month, I got two, saved one for you, would you like to eat? It’s very fragrant!"

Happily giving the little shark a name, feeling smug and proud of himself, the little Taoist boy:

"In the flaming July, August is endless, since you were caught by the master in August, how about I give you a Taoist name? I’m called Yun Xuzi, you can be called Weiyangzi, hehe, Weiyang, Weiyang, doesn’t the name sound nice?"

"Weiyang, Xuanxu Shixiong said if you grow up, you’ll grow two legs, become like a human and turn into a beautiful Jiaoren. Is it true? Then grow up quickly, transform into a Jiaoren, so someone can play with me, and you can play with my top and iron hoop."

Also, the little Taoist who, upon learning that the little shark would be refined into elixirs, secretly carried the little shark to a river at the foot of the mountain to release it:

"Weiyang, Master and that bald grandpa went into the Alchemy Room, I heard them say they’re going to refine you, that room is full of fire, if they put you in the cauldron, you won’t survive."

"Don’t be afraid, Master cherishes me, he definitely won’t blame me, I’ll send you down the mountain right away, I absolutely cannot let that bald monk succeed!"

"Master said the Cang Hai is gone, those ancient deities have disappeared too. Then you should go to another sea, the Biluo Sea is vast, surely there is a place for you, go quickly, follow this river, you can swim back to the Biluo Sea!"

"Master is here, go quickly, once your consciousness forms and you turn into a Jiaoren, when I learn the Taoist magic arts of my master, I’ll come to find you in Biluo Sea!"

In the end, the face of that innocent little Taoist boy slowly turned into a long-sleeved, white-robed young man, kneeling before the Taoist temple, pleading constantly:

"Disciple is foolish, ashamed of twenty years of master’s meticulous teaching, but what disciple has pursued all his life is not immortal Tao, Weiyang has never done evil, her nature is pure and good, disciple is willing to use his lifelong cultivation to aid master in ascending, only to plead with master to spare her life..."

Huo Sining’s mind was a mess, unable to distinguish whether that white-robed youth was the little Taoist or Gu Xu.

At this moment, she heard the sound of a bell in her ears, and when she came to herself, she found she was standing in the main hall of the Taoist temple, with an old Taoist in robes holding a horsetail whisk standing in the center, and Gu Xu, having traveled over mountains and waters, was kneeling straight before the hall.

The Taoist looked at Gu Xu silently for a while before asking, "Obsessed one, after revolving through the cycle of life and death for decades, you are still like this. What kind of poison has that Jiao Yao put on you to make you so stubborn?"

Gu Xu did not respond.

The Taoist was extremely helpless: "For her, you scattered your cultivation and destroyed the Spiritual Root Immortal Bone, but what have you gained? Does she even remember you?"

"Yun Xu can wait, sooner or later, in one lifetime, she will remember me." The man’s stubborn voice was just like that of the little Taoist boy back then.

The Taoist seemed to be defeated too, finally heaving a long sigh: "So be it, so be it, back then, even master couldn’t handle you, what right do I have now to speak of these matters with you? You hated master for being unfeeling back then, but you didn’t know master worried himself over you, even on his deathbed didn’t forget to entrust me, if you ever came to the Taoist temple to find me, to give you this item to fulfill your master’s affection."

With that, the Taoist waved his wide sleeves, and a brocade box fell before Gu Xu.
