When the little fox asked Ye Tiancheng if he truly had a sister-in-law, she was asking if Ye Tiancheng originally had a wife.
The moment the little fox spoke, a shadow suddenly appeared in Ye Tiancheng's mind.
However, this shadow was vague, making it impossible for him to see clearly.
But when Ye Tiancheng tried to recall more details, he couldn't remember anything related, so he had to give up. He truly couldn't remember anything.
Ye Tiancheng said to the little fox, "I can't give you an answer to this matter. I can't remember anything about the past. Perhaps when I remember, I will know."
Hearing Ye Tiancheng say this, the little fox didn't press further.
After all, the little fox himself couldn't remember anything, so he knew that his elder brother Ye Tiancheng should be in a similar state to him.
Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping had no idea what Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were going through. They had no idea that Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had temporarily lost their memories due to an accident.
Their progress was still in exploring the secret passage beneath the ruins.
Based on their previous memories and clues, Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping's group successfully found the place they were looking for and entered the secret passage. After exiting the passage, they once again passed through the peach blossom forest.
This time, with Xiao Miaomiao present, Xiao Miaomiao could confidently tell Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping that this was indeed the boundary between yin and yang, and this large peach blossom forest separated the yin and yang.
Moreover, even if Liang Ping didn't know the way, Xiao Miaomiao could find a way to pass through this place.
Therefore, under Xiao Miaomiao's guidance, Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping's group passed through the peach blossom forest relatively easily.
As they passed through the peach blossom forest, Liang Ping couldn't help but ponder.
He also said, "I wonder, if the secret passage and the peach blossom forest are both here, will the tomb from before still be here?"
In response to Liang Ping's question, Nie Chongyang replied, "That depends on who this tomb is related to."
Their method of entering the tomb this time was not a normal one.
After all, they were not entering through the entrance, but rather exiting the tomb.
They didn't know if they could successfully enter the tomb by going in reverse.
As a result, after passing through the peach blossom forest and following the route from memory, their group truly saw those scenes from their memories. Liang Ping saw the tomb.
He immediately said, "Originally, Ye Tiancheng and I speculated whether this tomb might be related to Lin Yanqin and the Lin family. But if the cause and effect in reality can be changed, then this tomb should not appear anymore, right?"
Nie Chongyang could not draw a conclusion on this point.
Xiao Miaomiao thought for a moment and expressed her opinion.
Xiao Miaomiao said, "This aspect is still difficult to say."
Liang Ping asked Xiao Miaomiao, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Miaomiao explained, "When you were in Xiaojing City, you changed the past in Xiaojing City. Although your relative did truly come back to life, it was not a resurrection in the normal sense."
"We can feel that we haven't truly changed the past."
"If the past were truly changed, then at the moment the past was changed, we who are here now would have vanished without a trace. This is a paradox and truth of time, and it cannot be defied."
"Therefore, truly changing the past is really, really difficult to achieve."
Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping listened attentively, nodding occasionally.
Xiao Miaomiao continued, "Then, in the case of Liang Ping's relative, Ding Yijie, we can clearly see that it wasn't that his past was changed from the time of the accident that he came back to life."
"The obvious point is that he should have come back to life suddenly."
"As for those who knew about Ding Yijie's death, their situations were basically that their memories were changed. Their memories were tampered with, so they believed Ding Yijie had not died. Therefore, Ding Yijie, standing alive before our eyes, is reasonable."
Hearing this, Liang Ping's eyes widened slightly, "Then what if someone recovered their memory..."
Xiao Miaomiao thought for a moment and said, "Ding Yijie's condition still needs further research, but one thing is certain: he should not be so fragile as to disappear because of this."
Hearing Xiao Miaomiao's answer, Liang Ping sighed softly, and his heart also felt a sense of relief.
Otherwise, if Ding Yijie were to have any more trouble and lose his life, he didn't know if the Ding family could withstand such a blow.
Therefore, if Ding Yijie's existence was harmless, Liang Ping still hoped that Ding Yijie could live well in this world and stay put, rather than mysteriously disappear and die one day.
At this moment, Nie Chongyang finally spoke, "So, even though we changed the past in Xiaojing City, things that should exist in the real past still exist and are not erased."
"It's just that the memories of related people are affected and tampered with?"
Xiao Miaomiao nodded, "Yes."
Then, Nie Chongyang asked somewhat strangely, "But if the memories of those involved are tampered with, why are we fine?"
Xiao Miaomiao told Nie Chongyang, "After all, you are the ones who tampered with it. And even if not, there are other means to preserve one's memory in such a state."
Hearing this, Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping suddenly felt a chill.
Nie Chongyang asked Xiao Miaomiao incredulously, "Then does this mean that the existence behind all this planning might also find ways to preserve their memories, so they might also know what we have done?"
This was indeed unavoidable, and Xiao Miaomiao had no solution.
However, Xiao Miaomiao still said to Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping, "You don't need to worry too much. Some things are unavoidable. That existence definitely knows that some things in the real world have been tampered with. However, you don't need to think of it so badly. Our opponent might not be that omnipotent."
"He might not know what we did, or even know who did it."
"If the other party can detect abnormalities, their first reaction will be to know that someone did this, not who did this."
This didn't make them feel much more at ease.
If the planner behind this discovered that everything had changed, what would be their first reaction?
Would this person check his own arrangements?
What would he be doing right now...
Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping's gazes immediately fell on the tomb before them.
What if the planner behind it was also in this place at this very moment? Wouldn't they be caught in a trap?
Xiao Miaomiao said, "I don't think he will necessarily be here. People who do this kind of thing often don't handle many matters themselves; they first send their subordinates to investigate. So, there's no need to be too nervous."
"As long as we are careful and guarded, we won't directly confront the most powerful one."
Hearing Xiao Miaomiao say this, Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping felt a little more relieved.
With a guarantee, they felt at ease.
If they were to confront the most powerful one behind it at this moment, and Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were not present, wouldn't their entire group be annihilated?
Liang Ping looked at the tomb before him.
He asked, "We've found this place now, but how should we get in?"
"We came through the exit. What if this passage can only be opened from the inside and not from the outside?"
This was indeed a worrying problem.
Nie Chongyang had no solution; they could only rely on Xiao Miaomiao.
Xiao Miaomiao studied the situation here and made some attempts, and only then did they successfully open the passage. Not daring to be careless, they tied themselves together to avoid the risk of being replaced or separated.
They also didn't have to worry about getting lost from each other.
Despite taking such precautions, once they entered, they still confirmed each other's identities and ensured that everyone was fine before continuing to explore the interior.
To be honest, the scenes Liang Ping saw were basically no different from his memories, except for some altered mechanisms.
Liang Ping asked Xiao Miaomiao if, after entering this place, should any accidents occur, Xiao Miaomiao would be able to lead them out. Only after Xiao Miaomiao guaranteed that there would be no problems did he have the mood to focus on the situation before him.
The few of them discussed where to start their investigation.
Nie Chongyang was the first to speak and suggested, "We don't have any direction, as we still don't know whose tomb this is or why it was built. So, why don't we first look into what Ye Tiancheng and the others asked us to do?"
Upon hearing Nie Chongyang's words, Liang Ping and Xiao Miaomiao immediately remembered.
They had originally planned to discuss whether Ye Wuji existed in the real world, so that Ye Tiancheng could decide how to bring Ye Wuji out.
However, later, Ye Wuji came out early for other reasons.
After Ye Wuji left Xiaojing City, no problems occurred, which eased their worries. Therefore, Ye Tiancheng said that there was no need to rush this matter, and it was temporarily postponed.
After all, at that time, Nie Chongyang and the others had more urgent matters to attend to.
Now that they had the opportunity to verify it, Liang Ping and Xiao Miaomiao felt that Nie Chongyang's suggestion was reasonable.
This was at least a direction.
And honestly, Xiao Miaomiao was also a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, the existences in Xiaojing City should be reflections of the real world. Therefore, the tomb in the real world should also have a Ye Wuji. However, Ye Wuji could safely leave with Ye Tiancheng without any issues. This was somewhat strange.
If Ye Wuji did not exist in the real world, it would mean there were more problems they had overlooked.
Nie Chongyang's group, who had not re-entered Xiaojing City, did not know at this moment that Xiaojing City had native residents.
