Chapter 98.1 : Shattering Perceptions (Part 1)
The diary copy in her hands had appeared for quite some time, yet for various reasons, Su Yushang had never chosen to bind with it.
She merely treated this diary copy as a rather interesting book to read.
As for the contents within, Su Yushang maintained an attitude of observation and caution, never fully believing everything it said.
After all, some of the things recorded in it were simply far too distant from her own reality.
Although the Su family possessed considerable influence within Wangjian City, standing alongside two other families as the Three Great Clans, and even having a Great Power realm ancestor within the clan—
when compared to certain forces or figures occasionally mentioned in the diary, they were undoubtedly like fireflies set against the bright moon.
Just the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land that governed all of Wangjian City was already a colossal existence that the entire Su family had to look up to with reverence.
Not to mention the Taihuang Sacred Land where the diary's owner, Chu Ge, resided.
Calling it the undisputed leader of Lingzhou would not be an exaggeration—it was a truly ancient existence that had overlooked countless ages without ever falling.
Yet today, the contents of the diary had suddenly shifted to her own small Su family!
This left Su Yushang utterly shocked.
And what followed next almost struck her so hard that she was left completely stunned.
First came the Twelfth Heaven realm—a supreme level that existed only in legends.
Then came the appearance of her clan brother, Su Mo, along with the diary's description of him.
It all made Su Yushang feel an overwhelming sense of absurdity and unreality!
Eleventh Heaven!
Reborn with memories of the future!
All of it sounded like something straight out of a celestial scripture. Almost instinctively, Su Yushang felt it was complete nonsense.
After all, in her impression, this younger half-brother of hers—Su Mo—
was, by and large, someone who endured everything in silence, even somewhat cowardly.
In the past, Su Yushang hadn't harbored any ill feelings toward him.
She had even spoken up for him out of a sense of justice, helping Su Mo resolve several instances of bullying by others. In private, she had encouraged him to be braver.
But the result was that Su Mo not only failed to thank her—he instead lashed out at her with harsh words, his speech filled with disgust and resentment.
Su Yushang was kind-hearted, but she was not the type to keep approaching someone who clearly despised her.
From that point on, Su Mo had essentially become an irrelevant passerby in her eyes. She kept her distance, neither getting close nor offering help.
No matter how Su Mo was bullied afterward, she never interfered again.
And yet, this very person—the one she remembered like this—was described in the diary as someone who would reach the Eleventh Heaven realm in the future.
Moreover, he had supposedly returned with memories of the future.
Su Yushang found this utterly impossible to believe.
However, as she gradually calmed down and recalled Su Mo's recent odd behavior, as well as the feeling he now gave off, her certainty slowly began to waver.
"Come to think of it… these past few days, Su Mo really does seem like a completely different person…"
Su Yushang murmured to herself.
These past few days, the Su family could be said to be extremely unsettled.
First, Su Mo—the son of the Su family's head—had suddenly fallen gravely ill. Soon after, an ugly scandal broke out: Su Mo had been poisoned and secretly harmed!
Although Su Mo was nothing more than a useless waste with no cultivation talent, his mother long deceased, and his father having more than once openly expressed his disgust toward him—
no matter what, Su Mo was still, in name, the family head's son, a direct-line young master.
For someone like him to be poisoned and secretly harmed caused no small stir throughout the entire Su family.
Almost everyone had guessed that the poisoner was not an outsider—but someone from within the Su family itself!
However, since this was a family matter, it had not spread to the point of being known throughout the entire city.
Yet what truly shocked the Su family even more was still to come.
In the eyes of outsiders, the ever-submissive Su Mo…
