From Tai Lingxuan’s perspective, the only way Chen Yuyang’s uncontrollable Yin power inside his body had been suppressed was if she had seized at least half of his Pure Yang Origin.
She could almost say that she had personally destroyed this child, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
But immediately, the regret on Tai Lingxuan’s face shifted to shock.
What was going on?
Yuyang’s Pure Yang Origin was completely fine—still so stable, so… intact!
Tai Lingxuan was stunned, unable to understand for a moment.
Could it be that she was wrong, that she hadn’t actually done anything to Yuyang…
No, impossible…
The incident had definitely happened…
There were countless pieces of evidence proving it.
As someone who had just experienced these things for the first time, she could clearly feel the abnormality in her lower body…
But then why… was Yuyang’s Origin still so perfect?
Could it be that she hadn’t used the method of absorbing Yang to supplement Yin while in her uncontrolled state…
But if she hadn’t taken any Pure Yang from Yuyang, then how was her uncontrollable Pure Yin suppressed?
By herself?
If she could suppress it on her own, it wouldn’t have gotten out of control in the first place…
Tai Lingxuan was utterly baffled.
However… since Yuyang’s Origin was unharmed…
Her thoughts began to turn over.
One hour later…
Chen Yuyang slowly came to from his “unconsciousness.”
He was already lying on a soft bed.
That was his master’s bed.
In any case, it was better to play dumb for now.
Scratching his head, Chen Yuyang’s face wore a confused expression.
“Yuyang, you’re finally awake.”
Next to him, Tai Lingxuan’s somewhat anxious voice immediately rang out.
The woman quickly sat beside the bed, looking at the boy’s eyes with concern, asking, “Do you feel any discomfort in your body?”
Chen Yuyang looked into his master’s eyes, thought for a moment, then shook his head lightly:
“Master, I feel fine… but what exactly happened just now? I can’t remember anything.”
The boy’s question made Tai Lingxuan’s expression freeze slightly.
A faint, barely noticeable gleam of joy flashed deep within her bright eyes.
“Yuyang, you don’t remember anything at all?” Tai Lingxuan asked, feigning surprise.
Chen Yuyang nodded seriously.
“Really, Master, I can’t remember a thing. I only remember seeing you sitting in the Great Hall with a pained expression… then it felt like some force knocked me out. Master, could it be that an enemy came to take revenge?”
Chen Yuyang nervously grabbed the woman’s sleeve, asking with concern.
Seeing that the boy truly knew nothing, Tai Lingxuan inwardly exhaled a long breath.
Yuyang’s Origin was unharmed.
His memory was completely lost.
Since that was the case… maybe it was best that he knew nothing.
Otherwise, how would he face her in the future?
Tai Lingxuan thought to herself and then explained to the boy:
“At that moment, I was cultivating a critical technique when you suddenly barged in. I accidentally unleashed a wave of spiritual energy that injured you, but fortunately, it was only a minor external wound. After taking a healing pill, you fully recovered.”
Hearing this, Chen Yuyang suddenly understood, nodding repeatedly.
“So that’s what happened. It was my fault to offend Master. Please forgive me, Master.”
Seeing the boy sincerely apologize, Tai Lingxuan felt a strong pang of guilt.
But she kept her composure and nodded slightly.
“Alright, Yuyang, don’t blame yourself. Since you’re fine now, there’s no need to dwell on it.”
Chen Yuyang nodded, got up, glanced at the clothes he was wearing, then walked out of the room.
Watching the boy’s departing figure, Tai Lingxuan let out a long sigh before her legs weakened and she collapsed to the ground, covering her face as tears fell.
“Yuyang, Master has wronged you…”
Outside the Great Hall, dawn was breaking, and the night had passed.
Chen Yuyang quietly exhaled and intended to return.
But before he could take two steps, a figure in white suddenly appeared in front of him.
Following closely was Gu Qiushui, asking somewhat anxiously:
“Yuyang, why did you come out of Master’s room? You’re not going to tattle on me, are you?”
Chen Yuyang: “Uh… I had some cultivation questions to ask Master.”
“Really? But it’s so early, and you came looking for Master? And your problem is solved now?”
“I hit a bottleneck in cultivation and couldn’t sleep, so I came early,” Chen Yuyang explained.
That excuse was acceptable, and Gu Qiushui sighed in relief, nodding lightly.
“I see… But you promised me, senior sister, not to say anything.”
“All right, all right, I know.”
Chen Yuyang nodded hurriedly, his body and mind exhausted.
All he wanted now was to go back and rest properly.
Gu Qiushui didn’t pursue him any further. Having successfully refined the Hanjiang Ling, she was eager to share her joy with Master.
Inside the Great Hall.
Tai Lingxuan’s heart was still overwhelmed with self-reproach.
What was she to do from now on?
Something like this must never happen again, absolutely not!
Right…
She remembered there was a volume in the Scripture Repository Pavilion containing a Suppressing Origin Mind Technique!
If Yuyang could master that technique and practice it regularly to protect his Origin, then even if someone tried to forcibly seize it, he wouldn’t lose it so easily.
While lost in thought, Tai Lingxuan’s divine sense detected someone approaching outside the door, making her somewhat nervous.
Could it be that Yuyang sensed a problem with her explanation and returned?
“Who is it?”
“Master, it’s me.”
Hearing Gu Qiushui’s voice, Tai Lingxuan relaxed a bit.
She quickly straightened her collar and wiped away the traces of tears from earlier before replying:
“Come in.”
The door was gently pushed open, and Gu Qiushui entered with a smile—only to see Tai Lingxuan’s cold and stern face.
This made Gu Qiushui’s heart tremble instantly.
Oh no!
What was going on? Why was Master’s expression so severe, even harsh?
Could it be that Yuyang had lied to her and actually told Master what she had done…
She was doomed.
Suddenly, Gu Qiushui felt uneasy.
But what she didn’t know was that Tai Lingxuan’s stern expression was only to hide the pain and struggle inside.
“Qiushui, what brings you here?”
Tai Lingxuan asked coldly.
“Master… I’ve successfully refined the Hanjiang Ling… I’ve come to thank you again for your precious gift.”
Gu Qiushui quickly cupped her hands respectfully.
Upon hearing Gu Qiushui had refined the Hanjiang Ling, Tai Lingxuan’s expression shifted again.
There was no doubt that Qiushui must have had Yuyang’s full assistance to refine it so quickly…
Yuyang…
Yuyang…
You are so kind, honest, and warmhearted, yet Master… Master really is not a good person!
Unable to help herself, Tai Lingxuan felt pain again.
That pain in her heart grew stronger the more she thought of Yuyang’s situation at that time.
Tai Lingxuan, oh Tai Lingxuan, look at what you’ve done!
You hurt that helpless child…
Unfortunately, time couldn’t be reversed, and what had happened couldn’t be changed.
All she could do now was try to make amends for the child and the mistakes she had made in the rest of their lives.
With a long sigh, Tai Lingxuan’s gaze fell upon Gu Qiushui, who was bowing low on the ground.
Could she blame her?
No, she couldn’t!
She had no right to further wound Yuyang.
“Enough… Qiushui, this matter is in the past. I won’t blame you, but I hope you will change from now on and treat your junior brother Yuyang well, okay?” Tai Lingxuan’s voice softened again.
“Yes, yes!”
Hearing Master speak this way, Gu Qiushui didn’t dare to raise her head and quickly agreed.
