Wan Ge stood in front of the artifact. She had already sensed the child. She chanted a spell and opened the artifact. The baby's spirit obediently slept inside.

Wan Ge knew she had to take the artifact with her, because it had been nurturing the child's soul. If the child were to be separated from the artifact, his soul might be damaged.

The moment the artifact was activated, Qi Zhao finally sensed the child's soul. The familiar feeling made him sigh with emotion, "So this is my child?"

The feeling of being connected by blood was incredibly familiar, even though this was their first time meeting.

Qi Zhao found the soul but was somewhat perplexed: "What should we do now?"

Wan Ge picked up the artifact: "Let's go back first."

"Okay." Qi Zhao nodded obediently and followed his wife back to their home.

On his way home, Qi Zhao recalled the scene where Wan Ge stabbed him with a sword.

He believed that Wan Ge knew Xu Wen would protect the sect leader, but she still went ahead and did it anyway. What was she thinking?

"My senior brother..."

Wan Ge sighed softly: "That was his choice and what he should do. His father did treat us this way because of him, so whatever we do is justifiable. You don't need to overthink it."

Qi Zhao didn't expect the other person to turn around and comfort him. He smiled and said, "I was just afraid you would be sad."

He wouldn't have any other thoughts about Xuwen, after all, the other party wasn't important to him. He was only worried about Wan Ge's thoughts.

He worried that Wan Ge still couldn't let go of Xu Wen, and that she might be bothered by it.

Wan Ge sighed softly. She wasn't the original owner of this body; if she were, she might have been even more upset.

After I arrived, I didn't have much contact with Xuwen because I was always with Qi Zhao.

Moreover, because of him, Qi Zhao became a demonic cultivator. If it weren't for the original owner's memories, she probably would have hated him long ago.

“I don’t like him, and besides, if it weren’t for him, we probably would have been together long ago. So, the fact that he ended up like this can only be seen as his atonement.”
