Chapter 582: Saint
Over the years, these things have been weighing heavily on Baili Hengyuan's mind. However, as the patriarch of the Baili family, he must not show even the slightest sign of fatigue or weakness in front of outsiders, otherwise, those enemies who are lurking in the shadows will swarm over him.
After saying everything at once today, he felt a lot more relaxed.
After listening to Baili Hengyuan's narration, Zhong Nianyao blinked and then said, "I can tell that you have a very good impression of Yi Huai! What kind of person is he?"
"He is a very good person."
Speaking of Yi Huai, Baili Hengyuan's face was filled with satisfaction and regret. "He's very talented in deduction and has now taken over many of the Yi family's affairs. Moreover, he has a good personality and is a very gentle person. Back then, it was our Baili family and your mother who wronged him, but he didn't hold a grudge against us. On the contrary, over the years, he has been helping us find a way to cure your mother. It was also because of his mediation that the relationship between us and the Yi family has eased a lot."
He still felt very sorry that such a good person could not become his son-in-law.
After listening to Baili Hengyuan's narration, Zhong Nianyao's face became somewhat gloomy. "That sounds like he's a saint!"
"But, hasn't he been married yet?"
Just now, Baili Hengyuan said that Yi Huai is still trying to find a way to wake Baili Leyao up, which means he hasn't let go of Baili Leyao yet.
"No, he's already married." Baili Hengyuan shook his head. "He didn't want to get married, but he couldn't disobey his parents, so he had no choice but to compromise."
"However, over the years, he still often came to visit Le Yao. Alas, it's really a pity."
Zhong Nian Yao smiled and said nothing more, but she was complaining in her heart.
As expected, different people have different opinions. Just like now, Baili Hengyuan felt that Yi Huai was a rare good man. Now, she just wanted to call him a scumbag.
As if he suddenly thought of something, Baili Hengyuan looked at Zhong Nianyao and said, "Nianyao, how did you come here as someone from the special department?"
Before, when he suddenly saw Zhong Nianyao's face that was so similar to his late wife, he was excited and happy. Then he came here and told her everything that happened in the past.
Now that he had calmed down, he finally realized that something was wrong.
"Why not?" Zhong Nianyao asked with a smile, "What identity do I use to come to the Baili Family? Is there any conflict?"
"You—" Baili Hengyuan hesitated, "Have your soul and spirit returned?"
If Zhong Nianyao was missing one soul and one spirit, she wouldn't be the way she is now. While losing one soul and one spirit wouldn't have much of an impact on her daily life, it would still leave her somewhat deficient in other areas. At the very least, she wouldn't be able to learn witchcraft, practice cultivation, or even develop any special abilities.
However, now that Zhong Nianyao was able to enter the special department, it meant that she must have her own unique strengths. If she lacked that soul and spirit, she would never be able to do it.
"That's right." Zhong Nianyao nodded, "By chance and coincidence, the soul and spirit have returned."
"That's good, that's good."
After receiving Zhong Nianyao's affirmative answer, Baili Hengyuan breathed a sigh of relief, the joy on his face obvious, "It's really great that you can recover. If your mother can also--"
"Oh, never mind. Everything will be fine."
Zhong Nianyao looked at Baili Hengyuan and then said, "Grandpa, is it really because of a curse that my mother became like this?"
"That's right." Baili Hengyuan nodded. "Although the Yi family's foundation lies in the art of deduction, they are a prominent family that has produced a national master, so they still have a deep foundation. Therefore, they also have the art of cursing. However, such magic has long been banned."
"That person was quite reckless. He actually used his own life as the price to cast the curse. As a result, although Yi Huai wanted to help lift the curse, he was powerless."
"Really?" Zhong Nianyao's eyes flickered, with an interested smile on her face. "Then I'm really curious now, is this curse technique really that powerful?"
She knew how to cast curses. Her master had taught her in her previous life.
However, the master taught her the art of curse not so that she could curse others, but so that she could better learn the art of breaking the curse.
However, she didn't seem to feel the power of the curse on Baili Leyao.
"This is a secret technique of the Yi family. How powerful are you?" Baili Hengyuan shook his head helplessly. "Who could have imagined that things would get so out of hand back then?"
Zhong Nianyao nodded, then smiled and said, "If it really is a curse, then it's easy to deal with. We just need to break the curse."
"Nian Yao, you can break the curse, right?"
Baili Hengyuan immediately understood what he meant, and said with surprise, "If it's true, then your mother can really be saved this time."
"I know a little bit." Zhong Nianyao nodded and continued, "However, in order to break the curse, we still have to figure out the whole thing first. At least, we have to figure out whether it is a curse or not."
"This is definitely a curse," Baili Hengyuan said with certainty. "It's a pity that our Baili family doesn't have much research on curses."
Zhong Nianyao nodded, "Then I understand."
"However, it will take time to remove the curse. Therefore, I still hope to give Mom a detailed physical examination first, and then make a decision after confirming the result. As for other matters, we can discuss them later."
Baili Hengyuan did not object.
It was getting late, and Zhong Nian Yao had no plans to get everything done today.
So, after saying goodbye to Baili Hengyuan, he took Lu Yichen back to the guest room.
"How much do you believe what Baili Hengyuan said?" Lu Yichen asked curiously.
"I believe it all." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "He has no reason to deceive us. But——"
"These words more or less carry some of his own subjective opinions, just like his evaluation of Yi Huai. Generally speaking, they should be about the same."
