The Resolute Cannon Fodder Teaching In Ancient Time

Chapter 81: Eighty-One Treasures

As expected, in the world where the female protagonist was reborn, Xu Zhen was already present.

Xu Zhen, catching on quickly, inquired, "I can't guess, why don't you just tell me?"

The fair-faced protagonist laughed brightly, "That would be no fun. I've lived so many times, and you turned me in circles before. Now that I know, I intend to get my revenge."

Curious, Xu Zhen asked, "How did I trick you?"

The protagonist's smile faltered, and she fell silent.

She had indeed been reborn many times. On her tenth rebirth, she combined her experiences from the previous nine lives, meticulously planning and once again allying with the favored concubine, seemingly on the verge of seizing the world. But who could have predicted that Xu Zhen would suddenly appear and shatter all her achievements?

She harbored intense dislike for this person, yet had to admit that this Xu Zhen, who appeared out of nowhere, had thoughts and methods worth learning... though unfortunately, she couldn't lead the world to peace.

The protagonist once thought that everyone should rely on their own abilities to secure their place in the world. However, some people start at the mountain's peak, unreachable by ordinary individuals. Even with the advantage of rebirth, she felt like a pebble before a towering mountain, insignificant and daunting.

Moreover, Xu Zhen had Xun Qianchun, that monster, by her side.

Thinking of Xun Qianchun, the protagonist began to sweat.

Seeing her unresponsive, Xu Zhen earnestly continued, "And this business of living multiple lives must be something you want to keep hidden. Why are you telling me?"

The protagonist looked up at her, "Aren't you the same? I know your true identity."

Xu Zhen was startled, her heart skipping a beat.

Her true identity? Could the protagonist know she was from another world? That would be impressive. Even in disguise, the protagonist could guess her identity. Perhaps in a past life, Xu Zhen had also entered the palace in disguise, encountered the protagonist, and later, for unknown reasons, revealed her identity to the protagonist.

But her true identity...

Xu Zhen couldn't figure out why she would reveal everything in the protagonist's past world.

Fortunately, the protagonist's next words reassured her.

The protagonist calmly said, "Even though you're in disguise, I know you're Minister Xu. You've been reborn too, which is why you sided with the Prince of Zhenbei, craving wealth and abandoning the people."

Xu Zhen's tension eased, and she chuckled without replying.

So the protagonist's idea of her true identity was just this. She initially feared her secret of transmigration was exposed, but it seemed the protagonist, despite many rebirths, knew little. She likely didn't know Xu Zhen was a time-traveling stowaway with knowledge from a millennium later, nor that she had a useless system.

Thinking of the system, Xu Zhen asked the protagonist, "Since you're reborn, do you know about the Xun family?"

"The Xun family?" A flicker of confusion passed through the protagonist's eyes, quickly suppressed. She said, "Of course, I know, but I didn't come here today to answer your questions."

Noticing the protagonist's expression, Xu Zhen realized she knew little.

Xu Zhen only wanted to know about the Xun family.

Even a small hope was better than none.

After considering carefully, Xu Zhen decided to coax more information, following the protagonist's lead, "I understand, we're both reborn, so we should form an alliance. Since you shared these things with me, you must see me as an ally. Just tell me about the Xun family, and I'll share whatever you want to know."
