Hearing this, Yan Bingfu's eyes revealed a hint of determination, and then nodded and said, "Okay, Master Wenxuan, please do it."

Confucius nodded, then flipped his right hand, and a long square jade slip suddenly appeared in Confucius' hand. This was the 'Mind-Collecting and Consciousness-Retaining Slip', a magical instrument bestowed by Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun with divine power and specially made by Tiangongdu Province for the Tianyuan Court. It was used to capture and store the memories of others. Each Mind-Collecting and Consciousness-Retaining Slip had a seal on it, and could only be used by those who had the authority of the Tianyuan Court on the Tianlu Golden Seal.

The "Collecting Mind and Concentrating Consciousness" is an upgraded version of the "Soul-Checking and Spirit-Questioning Method". It can effectively avoid the pain and harm that the Soul-Checking and Spirit-Questioning Method brings to other cultivators. After the "Collecting Mind and Concentrating Consciousness" came out, Fang Jian ordered the prohibition of spells such as Soul-Checking and Spirit-Questioning.

From now on, no matter whether it is the immortal officials of the Heavenly Court or the cultivators from all parties, except for the Heavenly Court which has the power to enforce the law, no one has the right to use magical powers to forcibly search other people's memories without authorization, otherwise it will be a violation of the Heavenly Law.

Confucius just raised his hand and threw the tablet, which immediately flashed with a green light and flew in front of Yan Bingfu, then gently placed it on her snow-white forehead.

After a while, the green divine light flew into Yan Bingfu's eyebrows, and then Yan Bingfu fell into a deep sleep in an instant, and the memories in her soul began to surge wildly.

Under the control of Confucius's mind, the power of the Heart-Collecting and Consciousness Chart found the memories of Yan Bingfu and Xu Mu's connection at an extremely fast speed. From the first time they met to Yan Bingfu's escape from Jiuyun Sect and leaving Huangjizhou, this twenty-nine-year-long memory was directly absorbed and preserved by the power of the Heart-Collecting and Consciousness Chart.

Then Confucius took back the tablet for calming the mind and consciousness, and Yan Bingfu woke up at the same time and slowly opened her eyes.

Yan Bingfu was a little bewildered. She looked around and then asked, "Master Wenxuan, are you feeling better?"

"Alright." Confucius said, "Please wait a moment, I will take a look." After that, Confucius immersed his mind into the Mind and Consciousness Slip and began to examine it.

Yan Bingfu was surprised. How could it be healed so quickly? She had heard people say that memory searches were extremely painful, but how could she not feel anything at all? It was all done after just a short sleep?

Compared to Yan Bingfu's surprise, Luo Yanqing was a little surprised. She glanced at the Heart-Collecting and Consciousness-Snatching Tablet in Confucius's hand, wondering how this item could actually search other people's memories without any side effects? This made Luo Yanqing very curious.

After the time of an incense stick, Confucius withdrew his mind and put the mind-collecting tablet in his sleeve. Then he took out a blank piece of jade paper, wrote a document from the Heavenly Court with a red pen, and stamped it with his own Tianlu Golden Seal.

Confucius then handed the document to Yan Bingfu and said, "I've just checked your memory. You were forcibly taken by Xu Mu, but you weren't complicit in anything. Based on the current evidence, you're innocent. Keep this document. If any Celestial Officials or other cultivators come to you again regarding this matter, you can show it to them."

Yan Bingfu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out to take the document. After taking a look at it, she immediately stood up with tears in her eyes and bowed to Confucius, saying, "Thank you, Master Wenxuan."

Confucius waved his hand and asked, "Is your son a stranger?"

Yan Bingfu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt her heart rise to her throat again. After being stunned for a long while, she finally didn't dare to hide it. She could only nod and say, "Master Wenxuan, Ling'er is indeed born with supernatural powers, but he has a kind heart and is definitely not a Chaos Evil God."

Confucius said, "A living being infected by the evil power of chaos, first, is born with supernatural powers, and second, possesses evil power. Even if they have a good heart now, there is no guarantee that the evil power will corrupt their mind in the future."

Yan Bingfu fell to her knees with a thud, and with tears streaming down her face, she bowed to Confucius, saying, "Master Wenxuan, please be merciful. I will teach Ling'er well and will never let him go astray. Please, Master Wenxuan, spare his life."

Yan Bingfu was very clear about the attitude of the Heavenly Court towards the evil god. No cultivator who had anything to do with the Chaos Evil God would have a good ending. Those were all "merits" in the eyes of the Heavenly Army Jiedushi.

Confucius said, "I didn't say I was going to kill him. The Jade Emperor has already decreed that aliens are also living beings in the Three Realms and should enjoy equal status with all other beings in the Three Realms. You can keep him with you, but I must warn you: if his mind is corrupted by evil power and he does something that harms heaven and harms all living beings, the Heavenly Court will have no choice but to execute him according to the laws of the Chaos Evil God."

Yan Bingfu was shocked, and then she bowed quickly, "Thank you, Master Wenxuan, for your mercy. Please rest assured, Master Wenxuan, I will never let him go astray."

"Okay." Confucius nodded, then stood up and said, "This matter is over. I have to go investigate elsewhere. I'll take my leave now."

Luo Yanqing quickly stood up and tried to persuade him to stay, but Confucius refused, saying, "I have a heavy responsibility and cannot stay here for too long. If you have free time in the future, please come and visit me. Goodbye."

After hearing this, Luo Yanqing no longer tried to keep Confucius, but personally sent him out of Yan Bingfu's residence and watched him leave on a cloud before returning.

After Luo Yanqing returned, he saw Yan Bingfu standing behind him with a nervous look on her face, with her head down, as if she had made a mistake.

Luo Yanqing said calmly, "Let Yan Xueling go to the fourth-class academy to study. Firstly, it can guide him onto the right path, and secondly, it won't waste his natural ability."

Hearing this, Yan Bingfu suddenly raised her head and looked at Luo Yanqing with surprise. Then she quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord of the Palace. I am deeply grateful for your kindness."

But when Yan Bingfu finished her greeting and looked up, she saw that Luo Yanqing had disappeared, but her mood at the moment was extremely bright, just like the future of her son Yan Xueling.

"Heaven." Yan Bingfu whispered these two words. For the first time, she felt warmth and peace of mind from these two words, instead of the solemnity and fear she had felt before.
