Coincidence or Accident?

They were the last of the Silver Moon Lineage to uphold their principles. As early as Xu Tianran's grandfather's generation, they had already discovered the shocking conspiracy of the Sun Lineage secretly colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult and secretly cultivating Evil Soul Master.

They had repeatedly voiced their opposition within the Imperial Family in an attempt to prevent this from happening, but instead, they were accused of treason by the Sun Lineage and subjected to brutal suppression.

In order to prevent the inheritance of the Silver Moon Martial Soul from being tainted by Evil Soul Master, and in order to expose the ambitions of the Sun Lineage, Zhang Lexuan's ancestors fled the Sun Moon Empire overnight, carrying the core cultivation method of the Silver Moon Martial Soul and irrefutable evidence of the Sun Lineage's collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult.

They came to the Heavenly Soul Empire with the intention of uniting the high-ranking officials of the Heaven Soul Empire and Dou Ling Empire kingdoms to form an alliance against the ambitions of the Sun Moon Empire.

However, they did not expect that the grudges between the three kingdoms had long since run deep, and that the spies of the Sun Moon Empire were sowing discord and spreading rumors.

Their plan not only failed completely, but they were also mistaken by the high-ranking officials of the three kingdoms as spies sent by the Sun Moon Empire.

With no other options, they had no choice but to completely conceal their identities and live in seclusion in a remote town in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

In order to forever cover up the secret of colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, the Sun and Sun Moon Imperial Family did not hesitate to send the top experts of the Hall of Consecration to wipe out the entire family, while claiming to the outside world that it was an ordinary noble feud.

As for Mu En rescuing Zhang Lexuan, it was probably not just a simple coincidence.

Wait a minute, isn't this a bit too much of a conspiracy theory? The original book didn't even cover this much; how much of the plot have I just imagined?

However, one thing is certain: Zhang Lexuan is definitely a branch of the Sun Moon Imperial Family, specifically the Silver Moon lineage.

Ju Zi stared in disbelief as she read the diary, then rolled her eyes in a standard gesture.

She was somewhat speechless. "Lin Ye, have you read through all the Imperial Family secret stories in the Shrek Library?"

They claim to be rebels of the Silver Moon Lineage and possess irrefutable evidence of collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult. In all my years of working in the Sun Moon Imperial Family, I've never even heard of such outrageous secrets.

If they truly had such irrefutable evidence, wouldn't it have been better for them to have directly reported it to the Hall of Consecration or the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces back then?

Why hide in the deep mountains and forests for decades, living in anonymity, waiting to be wiped out?

"I think you should give up being Soul Master and go open a storybook shop in Bright Capital. I guarantee you'll earn ten times more than you do from cultivation."

Ju Zi started ranting and raving; Lin Ye's ability to make up stories was truly baffling to her.

Zhang Lexuan's lips curled into a wry smile as she said helplessly, "So, in Lin Ye's mind, my background has actually been quite dramatic..."

Honestly, if I didn't still have some critical thinking skills, I might have believed it too.

Zhang Lexuan shook her head. Sometimes she would think that maybe it wasn't as complicated as Lin Ye made it out to be; it was just a common family feud, or maybe she had just accidentally blocked someone's way.

However, she wasn't stupid; of course she could distinguish between what was real and what was fake.

She simply had less information than Lin Ye, not a lack of intelligence, so she could distinguish between what was true and what was false, what was speculation and what was almost certain.

The Far North.

Snow Empress stood beside Ice Empress, a gentle, helpless smile on her face, "Lin Ye's imagination is too vivid. Has he been reading too many novels lately?"

Actually, many things aren't that complicated.

Just as snow falls in winter and flowers bloom in spring, many accidents are simply accidents, with no hidden conspiracies.

Perhaps Zhang Lexuan's background really was just an unfortunate accident.

[Sigh, I actually had some suspicions before. Zhang Lexuan's survival wasn't just luck at all; the coincidences were so extreme, it was as if someone was orchestrating everything from behind a script.]

Ju Zi sat cross-legged at her desk, the contents of her Diary floating through her mind.

She paused, rubbed her temples, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

"He was right. The Sun Moon Imperial Family's internal purges never involved the phrase 'leaving survivors'."

Whether it's a cleanup or something else, the task is carried out by three Soul Douluo from the Hall of Consecration. Let alone an infant in swaddling clothes, even an ant in the yard would be trampled to death three times over.

There's only one possibility for Zhang Lexuan to be spared: someone tampered with the orders, and that person must be of such high rank that they could command three Soul Douluo to defy the imperial decree.

Shrek Academy, classroom.

Upon reading the diary entries, Xiao Xiao excitedly kicked a table leg, wincing in pain and muttering under her breath.

"No way... How could someone as kind as Dean Mu En do such a thing?"

But Lin Ye's words seem to make sense; there aren't that many things that are just right.

"I just happened to be passing by when they were massacring the whole family, I just happened to save the only survivor, and I just happened to bring her back to Shrek... Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

What are the chances of leaving any survivors in a massacre, especially among members of the Imperial Family, where there's a complete purge?

Unless the person who ran away is strong enough, like a Soul Douluo who is determined to hide, even Super Douluo might not be able to find him.

I've heard that some powerful concealment Soul Skill can make even Titled Douluo unable to detect your presence.

But what was Zhang Lexuan's situation back then? She was a ten-year-old girl without even Soul Power. Let alone a Soul Douluo, any random Soul Master could easily take her out.

How could a child with absolutely no ability to resist possibly survive under the noses of a group of high-level Soul Master?

Unless... from the very beginning, someone gave a strict order that she must be spared, and that she could only be spared.

The Far North.

Ice Empress clicked their tongue impatiently, scratching the air in front of them in frustration, and complained, "So annoying! All this nonsense again! Why do humans love all this fuss? Can't they just fight already?"

If you lose, you admit defeat; if you win, you become the boss. It's that simple.

They have to resort to all sorts of schemes and tricks, leaving behind all sorts of pawns; just hearing about it gives me a headache.

However, I don't think that Mu En is a good person. He's cunning and treacherous, so it's not surprising that he would do something like this.

[And the most outrageous coincidence is the appearance of Mu En.]

He had just finished a major battle with Du Busi in the Heavenly Soul Empire, and both of them were seriously injured. They happened to be recuperating near that remote town when they stumbled upon the scene of the massacre and rescued Zhang Lexuan.

This series of "just right" occurrences seems too fake, doesn't it? Once or twice is luck, but three or four times means someone deliberately arranged it.
