Ying Gou Controlled, Breaking the Deadlock

Ying Gou told me.

These vines were the knots in my heart.

I had many attachments in my heart, and many doubts as well.

Xu Qiuyan, Bingbing, even those people at the Little Ancestral Hall Entrance, as well as my parents and family.

And, of course, my past and my origins.

"It's not just you. I have knots in my heart too. I originally thought I had no heart and would never have such knots again, but later I learned that humans don't actually think with their hearts. They think with this." He pointed to his head.

"Shouldn't we be figuring out how to leave this place now?" I asked.

But Ying Gou asked me, "Leave? And forget about Ye Jinghong? Do you think she has knots in her heart too?"

Only then did I realize that although Ying Gou had appeared, Ye Jinghong had not.

Could it be that she didn't enter the same space as us?

Ying Gou said, "That was what I thought before I met you. But after meeting you, I think we're in the same space, just in different areas. Before I met you, I saw some of my past, especially some of the people I had once wronged. Of course, there were also some of my enemies. Fortunately, I finally overcame that guilt and fear."

Guilt and fear?

That was right. Weren't knots in one's heart simply guilt and fear?

The people one had wronged, the people and things one had once feared.

In that regard, Ying Gou was stronger than me. At least he wasn't as conflicted as I was.

If I had attacked Xu Qiuyan and Bingbing from the start, things wouldn't have become so chaotic afterward.

I wondered whether I could have survived this ordeal if Ying Gou hadn't arrived in
