He took a step back unconsciously, and Luo Wen's heart was shaken at the same time.
Slowly looking into the woman's tear-soaked eyes, Luo Wen paused before slowly asking Su Yin, "Do you still remember what I told you about how my inner core was taken away, and how I accidentally obtained the inner core of the spirit beast and regained the Luo family?"
Su Yin gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands. Although she didn't understand the meaning of what Luo Wen asked, she nodded slowly.
Luo Wen said in a deep voice, "That wasn't luck at all. Although I obtained the inner elixir of that spirit beast, it's not of the same species after all, so I can't use its abilities. Even if I can only use a little bit of elementary spiritual power, I have to bear the serious consequences it brings."
"Consequences?" Su Yin asked back.
"The consequence." Luo Wen nodded, "is enduring the bone-eating pain it brings every month."
So that's why he was... like that before? The image of Luo Wen's fragile look under the sycamore tree that night seemed to resurface before his eyes. Putting the whole thing together, Su Yin finally understood.
"When pain came in the past, Linglong had learned a secret technique. Although, as long as she could dredge my heart meridians, my pain would be relieved. However, because the inner elixir not only brought pain but also a burning sensation in my heart, when using it, the two of us had to be in an extremely cold environment and maintain the most primitive state to dissipate heat."
It was rare to see Luo Wen say so many words in one breath. Su Yin nodded stupidly and then asked, "Then why... do you treat those disciples of Shenghan Mountain like this?"
"You seem to care a lot about the disciples of Shenghan Mountain." Seeing Su Yin mention Shenghan Mountain again, Luo Wen's eyes flashed with light. "Those people who attacked us deserved to die."
"But... they... didn't really hurt us, did they? Can't you... spare their lives or just let them die quickly? Why do you have to torture them like this until they die?" Su Yin asked weakly, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.
He glanced at Su Yin lightly, but Su Yin couldn't help but take a step back under his cold gaze. The cold light emanating from Luo Wen's purple eyes made her feel scared.
Luo Wen said in an unusually cold tone, "They must die."
"Why, why?" Su Yin asked tremblingly, feeling an inexplicable fear in his heart.
"Because of the inner elixir in their bodies."
Inner elixir? Su Yin's heart was suddenly shocked. He couldn't be thinking...
"Over the years, I've desperately tried to regain what was taken away from me. However, there are still too few innate people in the world who possess inner elixir. But this time, Shenghanshan came to me and presented me with a great gift. Tell me, how can I refuse?"
"So, you won't kill them before they provide you with the inner elixir. You did it at the beginning just to test my reaction." His hands and feet were slightly cold, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into a huge ice cellar. It was the first time that Su Yin found that his mind had become so clear.
Luo Wen stared at her quietly, neither agreeing nor denying.
Su Yin also looked back at him, and for the first time she felt a suffocating fear at the cold breath emanating from this person whom she thought she was very familiar with.
"You never believed me at all."
