"Seeing Du Gu Yan dumbfounded by what he said, Han Li couldn't help but laugh.
"You're laughing, still laughing! Quickly confess everything honestly. Lingling's condition really worries me."
Du Gu Yan snuggled into his arms while moving her hand to his waist, starting a 'forced confession.'
"Alright, I'll tell you everything."
Han Li looked around and pulled her to sit down in a nearby pavilion.
"First of all, Ye Lingling's mental state does have a bit of a problem, but like I said, she's just stuck in a dead end. In reality, as long as the crux of the problem is resolved, she can slowly recover."
Han Li pointed out the thing she was most concerned about first.
"Then this crux should be the Nine Heart Sea棠 (Táng) - flowering crabapple, right? That's not easy to solve, is it?"
Du Gu Yan also knew about the Nine Heart Sea棠 (Táng) - flowering crabapple, and her face was still full of worry.
"Yeah, it's not easy to solve, but it's actually not that difficult either."
Han Li waved his finger in front of her face, drawing her attention back.
"The Nine Heart Sea棠 (Táng) - flowering crabapple, just like the rumors say, does have a Martial Soul defect, but it's not like the rumors say, that only two Nine Heart Sea棠 (Táng) - flowering crabapple Soul Masters can exist at the same time, and only when one dies can a descendant possibly appear."
Han Li's words were quite firm, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Ah?"
Du Gu Yan was a little stunned. That's not right. She had confirmed it with Lingling, and even Lingling said the same thing.
"Yeah, the information Ye Lingling knows is also false, including what the current Ye Family members believe."
"That's because what they know now is simply what their ancestors used to deceive outsiders. As a result, due to wars, the hunting of enemies, and all sorts of other reasons, the family's inheritance had problems, and they themselves ended up believing it."
Han Li's expression was very strange when he thought of this. He resisted the urge to laugh and pinched his thigh to keep from laughing out loud.
"Ah?"
Du Gu Yan's mouth was wide open, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
"As I said, the Nine Heart Sea棠 (Táng) - flowering crabapple does have a Martial Soul defect, but the defect is not this. This defect was deliberately created by their ancestors to confuse outsiders."
"In the beginning, the Nine Heart Sea棠 (Táng) - flowering crabapple was just an accidental mutated Martial Soul, but unexpectedly, they discovered that this mutation was completely inherited."
"But unlike the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Nine Heart Sea棠 (Táng) - flowering crabapple only has pure healing abilities and no treasure-hunting function, so it's difficult for them to build a stable, large force with them as the core for a long time."
"Moreover, you should know that not all Soul Masters are very polite to this kind of pure healing Soul Master family. Historically, their family has experienced various not-so-good things. I don't need to say it, you should be able to imagine."
Han Li said here, looking at Du Gu Yan, who nodded thoughtfully.
"Precisely because of this, one of their ancestors came up with a way, which was to attach themselves to a large force and declare to the outside world that their Martial Soul had mutated, releasing this false information."
"Of course, it can only be said to be half true, because due to the Martial Soul, their population is indeed not very prosperous, and it has been maintained like this."
"The real Martial Soul defect of the Nine Heart Sea棠 (Táng) - flowering crabapple that I'm talking about is actually the reason why the Ye Family's main line is not prosperous. Pure healing, in essence, is an infusion of vitality, equivalent to using the Martial Soul and accumulated vitality to heal others."
"The Martial Soul is inherently closely related to oneself. The Nine Heart Sea棠 (Táng) - flowering crabapple can have such a powerful healing ability, so the price paid is naturally extremely high."
"Then you mean that every time Lingling heals someone, she is consuming her own vitality?"
Du Gu Yan clenched his hand with some heartache.
"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. Normal treatment is not a problem. The Nine Heart Sea棠 (Táng) - flowering crabapple itself will gather vitality, and she is actually unconsciously doing this step when she cultivates."
"It can be said that as long as she doesn't overuse her healing ability with high intensity, she can replenish it herself. Only when she uses her Martial Soul ability to heal others with high intensity in the short term will the situation I mentioned occur."
Han Li spoke in time to appease her, and Du Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"This kind of loss is difficult to detect, especially for Nine Heart Sea棠 (Táng) - flowering crabapple Soul Masters whose life force is already very strong. And there is another point: on the one hand, they need their successors to make a name for themselves in the early stage, and on the other hand, they always examine the marriage partners of their successors for a long time."
"This has also created a point: late marriage and late childbirth. The lost vitality still has an impact on the breeding of offspring. You can probably guess the subsequent situation. In order to continue to maintain their status, they have to take action to heal, and they die earlier than Soul Masters of the same stage."
"Then, in a certain turmoil, their family lost the relevant records, but they still chose the previous way of survival, which resulted in the same situation as the rumors to the outside world."
"What's even more coincidental is that no accidents have happened for so many years, so even they themselves have taken it seriously."
Han Li shook his head today at a frequency that could catch up with his usual week."
However, the Nine Heart Sea棠 (Táng) - flowering crabapple's encounter is truly a twist of fate.
"So, as long as we tell Lingling this secret, she can gradually recover?"
Du Gu Yan was looking forward to her best friend returning to normal.
"Don't rush, she shouldn't have any problems in the short term. Perhaps, we can take this opportunity to bring the Ye Family onto our chariot."
Han Li decisively rejected her proposal. Du Gu Yan also nodded. She knew Han Li's code of conduct. She was just a little excited just now, so she spoke without thinking.
Although she was worried about Lingling, she could still tell what was important. How could she so easily give away a secret that concerns the inheritance of a family?
Best friends forever, that's what they say, but in her opinion, perhaps 'a lifetime' is more secure.
After all, she and Xiao Li are from the Spirit Hall, and the Ye Family is now under the Heaven Dou Empire. She had long passed the age of naivety. In Han Li's words, allies are often used to be betrayed.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Leave Lingling's matter to me, don't worry."
Du Gu Yan gave him a knowing look, but pinched his waist hard.
Huh? Han Li, who suffered an undeserved disaster, was a little depressed.
I was just thinking about bringing the Ye Family over. After all, they are rare healing Soul Masters. Although there aren't many of them, they are still a piece of fat. How did things suddenly change?
Besides, didn't you bring Ye Lingling here? Why are you pushing it on me now?
Although, he doesn't mind.
