Bai Qingnian's beautiful fox-like eyes were filled with heartache, and Aheng below felt a slight pang in his heart when he saw this.

His child, however, did not recognize his biological father.

"Yes, Father, don't worry..." Zhiyan forced a smile.

Long Qianling glanced at him, and Zhiyan immediately understood, stood up, and stepped aside.

"Little fox, is there anything else that's bothering you?" Long Qianling asked in a gentle voice.

Bai Qingnian shook his head, "I'm fine, Big Black Dragon. By the way, Senior Bai..."

Bai Qingnian glanced around the hall and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Bai Changjun standing unharmed below. "Senior Bai, are you alright?"

Seeing the worried look on his face, Bai Changjun quickly replied, "I'm fine. How are you feeling?"

Seeing that his face had regained its color, Bai Changjun knew that Long Qianling had already treated him, and only then did he feel relieved.

Bai Qingnian shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

Looking at Bai Qingnian's small face, Aheng suddenly felt a little regretful.

He shouldn't have sealed his power; otherwise, he wouldn't have been injured because of his low cultivation level.

Now, he should return his power to him!

“My lady, there’s something I think I should do now,” Aheng said as he walked to Bai Changjun’s side.

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the hall turned their gaze to him, curious about what he was talking about.

"What is it?" Bai Changjun asked.

Aheng looked up at Bai Qingnian and their eyes met. Bai Qingnian was taken aback.

That's Senior White's husband; his eyes look just like mine...

Aheng smiled at him, and Bai Qingnian, seeing that he smiled at her, also politely returned the smile before turning her gaze to Long Qianling's face.

Ah Heng also withdrew his gaze and took out the white disc from his spatial storage.

“Isn’t this the Spirit Sealing Disc?” Ming Yuyin said.

The Spirit Sealing Plate and the Demon Sealing Plate look very similar, the difference being that one is white and used to seal spiritual power, while the other is purple and used to seal demonic energy.

“Yes, this is the Spirit Sealing Disc.” Aheng raised his hand and gently stroked the patterns on the Spirit Sealing Disc, saying softly.

"Aheng, why did you take this out?" Bai Changjun asked, puzzled.

This Spirit Sealing Plate belongs to the White Fox lineage. After she was imprisoned by Bai Fengfu, Bai Fengfu tried several times to snatch the Spirit Sealing Plate from her.

Later, she gave the Spirit Sealing Disc to Aheng, so that he could take it and leave Qingqiu.

"I sealed away Zai Zai's power and also took his other half of his soul to the cultivation world." Aheng's voice was low, and it was impossible to tell what emotion he was expressing.

"What do you mean by this?" Long Qianling suddenly asked in a cold voice, startling Bai Qingnian in his arms.

Noticing his fear, Long Qianling reached out and gently patted his back.

Bai Qingnian looked at Long Qianling, then at the others in the hall, somewhat bewildered.

Who is the "baby" that Senior White's husband is talking about? And why is the Great Black Dragon so angry? What does this have to do with the Great Black Dragon?

"Explain yourself!" Long Qianling reassured Bai Qingnian before speaking coldly once more.

Everyone in the hall looked at Aheng, waiting for him to continue.

"The reason why Zai Zai's cultivation cannot advance is because I split his soul in two. The stronger half of his soul was taken to the cultivation world, while the weaker half was left here..." Aheng's voice grew softer as he spoke.

"Aheng, what about the sealed power?" Bai Changjun asked anxiously.

"My little one was born with a very clever and insightful mind."

"A delicate heart? The purest delicate heart in the world?" Hu Ruo asked.

“That’s right.” Aheng nodded. “But at the same time, this exquisite heart is a treasure coveted by many. If someone with ulterior motives finds out that the little one possesses the exquisite heart, it will surely bring about his death. That’s why I sealed his power and hid the fact that he possesses the exquisite heart.”

Long Qianling frowned and said in a deep voice, "Even so, you shouldn't have separated his soul."

Ah Heng lowered his head, his eyes filled with guilt. "I know I'm doing this to wrong Zai Zai, but the situation was critical at the time, and I had no other choice."

"If I don't separate his soul, the power of the Linglong Heart is too great, and the Spirit Sealing Plate simply cannot seal his power. So I have no choice but to separate the baby's soul..."

"In order to seal the power of Nian Nian's exquisite heart, you split Nian Nian's soul in two. Do you know what kind of life Nian Nian has been living all these years? Because he couldn't advance in cultivation, they all bullied him!" Zhi Yan looked at him, his eyes reddening, his voice trembling with excitement.

If he hadn't sealed away Nian Nian's exquisite heart, Nian Nian wouldn't have been bullied by them!

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Ah Heng knew he had let Bai Qingnian down, and his voice softened.

"Father, are you talking about me?" Bai Qingnian asked blankly after hearing Zhiyan's words.

Zhiyan was taken aback; how could he have let something slip in his haste?

Seeing that her father didn't answer her, Bai Qingnian looked at Long Qianling and asked, "Big Black Dragon, are you talking about me?"

Long Qianling looked down at him, gazing into his beautiful fox-like eyes. In the end, she couldn't bear to deceive him, so she nodded under his gaze.

"But why does Senior Bai's husband call me 'baby'?"

Long Qianling was taken aback, and immediately looked up, her red eyes coldly glancing at Zhiyan beside her.

"Big Black Dragon, are you hiding something from me?" Bai Qingnian reached out and turned Long Qianling's face back, staring straight at her.

“This…” Long Qianling hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

“The Great Black Dragon told me!” Bai Qingnian said without room for argument.

"You are actually my child."

"Bai Changjun!"

Upon hearing this, Long Qianling roared in fury, raised his hand and unleashed a burst of demonic power, sending Bai Changjun flying and crashing heavily into a pillar.

"My lady!" Aheng exclaimed in surprise and rushed over to Bai Changjun, helping her up with concern. "My lady, are you alright?"

Bai Qingnian was stunned for a moment when he saw Long Qianling suddenly become agitated, and then he realized what Bai Changjun had just said.

"Senior Bai, what did you say? What do you mean I'm actually your child?"

Bai Changjun looked at him and fell silent. For a moment, the entire hall became quiet.

Why are you all silent? What's going on?

"Father, Father, tell me, what Senior Bai said isn't true, you're joking, right?" Bai Qingnian's voice trembled as she stepped out of Long Qianling's arms and reached out to grab Zhiyan.

Zhiyan reached out and took his hand, looking down at him.

He knew that this matter could not be kept from Niannian.

“Niannian, what she said is true, and we weren’t joking. You are their child, not mine, and certainly not Bai Fengfu’s…”

"Impossible! I don't believe it!"
