The council watched the arriving cage, examining the man who regained his consciousness.
Why did they have to make things so complicated for the existing couple? All of it was because of this man, Xuan Mu.
It had been Xuan Mu's idea to send Guan Fei to the same world as Bing Shi.
In the past, he and Bing Shi put a lot of emphasis on their private life and safety, and someone decided to leak everything; every dirty secret about Bing Shi and her family, who didn't have the cleanest records.
Xuan Mu was cautious of Guan Fei, wanting to eliminate the trouble she could cause. Bing Shi was against it, thinking that he was getting paranoid over her safety, which he truly was.
Blame it on his nth sense or so, but when it came to Bing Shi, he could feel danger coming her direction miles away. Didn't his nightmares become a reality? She was inhumanly tortured in the past. And someone truly stole her away from him (his other lifetimes).
And let me know in the comments what arcs you want to see. :)
