Chapter 265 Free-flying blossoms, light as a dream (29)

It is said that the memories of a five-year-old child are often somewhat vague, let alone those that have been erased; however, Lin Jingting was already at the Foundation Establishment stage at that time, and his memory was far beyond that of ordinary people.

"What are the people outside saying?" Lin Jingting asked. He could tell that the conversation among the people who came to visit him had shifted from his injuries to a female demon.

Li Jueyin remained silent.

But Lin Jingting quickly realized they were talking about Hua Nian, and even mentioned that Hua Nian was trapped in the crevice.

He suddenly realized, "Mother, the person you were talking about just now was Hua Nian?" After a moment's thought, he guessed, "So, when I was attacked by the five Demon Lords, it was Hua Nian who saved me? But where is that space? It feels so familiar..." As he said this, he couldn't help but try to recall carefully, which made his head ache even more.

Li Jueyin was afraid that he would remember things from before he was five years old and give himself away in his words or actions, so she gently tapped the back of his neck. He tilted his head and fell asleep.

She got up and left the room, presenting a heartbroken expression with tears welling up in her eyes.

The people in the hall, who had been chatting quite lively, fell silent upon seeing her like this. Lin Zhao quickly stood up to greet her and asked, "How is Jingting?"

Li Jueyin choked up as she said, "He seemed to be awake just now, but he was just talking nonsense, and now he's fallen asleep again..."

Wen Ruyan also came over, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Master and Mistress, you don't need to worry too much. There will definitely be a way to heal Jingting's injuries."

Tao Anbo said angrily, "That female demon is really ruthless. It wasn't enough that she crippled Tianling, she also went so far as to harm Xiaolinzi."

Li Jueyin buried her face in Lin Zhao's shoulder, and everyone could hear her sobbing.

Wen Ruyan said, "Fortunately, that female demon is already trapped in the crevice and can no longer commit evil deeds."

As she spoke, everyone saw the brightness in her eyes, revealing just how happy she was about this matter; she couldn't hide it. Those unaware of the inside story might have thought she was happy because Hua Tianling had finally gotten his revenge, but only Lin Zhao and a few others in the know understood that this woman was actually happy for her ancestral family, the Wen family!

She continued, "The sect leader said that the Universal Divine Palace has announced to the world that a celebration will be held at Universal Mountain in five days to celebrate the death of the female demon. Invitations have been sent to all our major sects..."

Li Jueyin could hear the smugness in her voice, and her crying involuntarily rose eight octaves.

Lin Zhao quickly rebuked, "Alright, it's their business to celebrate. What do we have to celebrate? Tianling has been crippled, and my son is seriously injured. What's there to be happy about?"

Wen Ruyan immediately fell silent: Although she looked down on Lin Zhao and was angry at his reprimand, she had always played the role of a gentle, kind, and filial female cultivator and did not want her image to collapse at this moment.

Her meek and submissive demeanor evoked pity in the hearts of all the cultivators present. Tao Anbo said, "Alright, Junior Brother Lin, Junior Nephew Wen is probably happy because Tian Ling's great revenge has been achieved. As for Little Lin's injury, we will all work together to ensure that he does not suffer the same fate as Tian Ling. You two can rest assured."

Hua Tianling is a decent genius, but Lin Jingting is a genius rarely seen in the history of the cultivation world. The Xingyun Sect is not going to give up on Lin Jingting now. In the future, they will probably use all their resources to find a way to cure Lin Jingting.

Lin Zhao bowed and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, senior brother. I will have to trouble you all to help me find a way to cure this child in the future."

Wen Ruyan quickly said, "Master, don't worry. I think Xiao Linzi's injuries are not as severe as Tian Ling's back then. There must be a way to heal him. I will contact my father in the Upper Realm and ask him to help me think of a solution."

Although she said that, she was secretly wondering if there was a way to make Lin Jingting fall into eternal sleep without anyone noticing, so that he would never wake up again. Although this trip to the "Gap" failed to eliminate Lin Jingting, Hua Nian was successfully trapped inside the "Gap," which could be considered as completing a task assigned by the Wen family.

As for the "Battle Heaven Technique" that Uncle Wen Zixuan had always wanted, Wen Zixuan now suspected that it was not with Hua Nian at all. If Hua Nian had this technique, after cultivating for a hundred years, he would probably be invincible in the cultivation world, and it would be impossible for him to be trapped now.

Furthermore, the cultivation technique Hua Nian practiced was clearly not the "Battle Heaven Technique," a fact that Wen Zixuan had already confirmed.

The Wen family's stance on the "Battle Heaven Technique" was: either the Wen family obtains it, or no one else gets it. Furthermore, they wanted everyone who knew of its existence to die.

The fact that this cultivation technique remained in the hands of the Xuanyuan Palace made them a major threat. Now that the Xuanyuan Palace has been destroyed and the technique has disappeared, and the only remaining member of the Xuanyuan Palace, Hua Nian, is trapped in the "gap" and unable to escape, the Wen family has been able to put their minds at ease.

Those cultivators who accepted the Wen family's orders, whether demons, monsters, or even Dao Venerables, were relatively fortunate if they only accepted the task of besieging and killing Hua Nian or Lin Jingting. However, those who also received the order to find the "Battle Heaven Technique" were not so lucky.

They thought that by killing Hua Nian and helping the Wen family find this cultivation technique, they would be extradited by the Wen family. They were dreaming. Wen Ruyan had already received orders that if these people successfully completed their mission, they should be killed immediately to silence them.

However, Hua Nian basically eliminated all of these people, so there was no question of "silencing them".

A few days later, Wen Ruyan, dressed in her finest attire, happily followed several seniors from the Nebula Sect to a banquet at the Universal Divine Palace.

She had always hated Hua Nian to the core.

Firstly, Hua Nian is talented and was born into a family of cultivators. She was born into a privileged family and was treated like a young lady. However, she herself, who was the same age as Hua Nian, was born to be a maid. She was not talented in cultivation and was not as pretty as Hua Nian. While Hua Nian was the center of attention, she could only serve others in the corner with a plate.

Furthermore, Hua Nian and Ouyang Hao's marriage was arranged by their families from childhood; they could find a good match without having to face anyone's disapproval and would have unlimited potential. However, she had to do everything she could to please others in order to survive; if she wanted to cultivate like everyone else around her, she had to use every means and scheme to achieve it.

The two girls were about the same age, but their fates were worlds apart, and she was not reconciled to it.

Although she later learned that she was the little princess of the Wen family in the upper realm, a person whose background was far superior to Hua Nian's, she could not forget the life she had to depend on others when she was young; she simply could not let go of her jealousy and resentment towards Hua Nian, whom she had always envied and could only look up to.

Now that Hua Nian is trapped inside the "gap," it's no wonder she can't survive for another six hundred years in the face of the temporal turbulence!
