He only dared to guess the possible results and did not dare to check it himself.
The waiting time was extremely long, and Gu Xingyun stared at Yan Huailiu's sleeping face in a daze.
It was so quiet here that even the sound of running water seemed jarring.
After a long time, Baili Changhuan slowly withdrew his hand and started biting his fingernails in frustration.
"Junior Master? Is Master... okay?"
Gu Xingyun asked cautiously.
"Fortunately, I couldn't find any problems this time." Baili Changhuan frowned: "This is the biggest problem."
"He wouldn't sleep for no reason. He wouldn't sleep during the day even if the sky fell."
"Strange, there was clearly something wrong last time, why is it okay this time?"
Baili Changhuan has evolved to the point of biting his fingers.
Gu Xingyun's eyelashes trembled, his fists clenched, and he lifted his clothes and prepared to kneel down: "Junior Master, actually..."
"So the problem should be with the soul." Baili Changhuan interrupted him.
He took a half step forward and sat on the couch, then suddenly reached out and hit Yan Huailiu on the arm.
Gu Xingyun quickly protected him: "Junior Master!"
"He's not even awake yet." Baili Changhuan sighed, his expression extremely conflicted, but his words made Gu Xingyun freeze in place.
"You know what? He's always had problems with his soul."
"There has always been a problem...what does that mean?" Gu Xingyun's blinking speed slowed down.
Baili Changhuan stared at the vase not far away and recalled, "It was probably after the Immortal Sect Conference that he handed over the things your master left for me. Inside that Divine Kite Sword Manual was a handwritten letter from your master."
Gu Xingyun recalled in an instant that his book of mental skills was also given to him at that time.
Baili Changhuan's eyes were a little dazed, as if he was lost in memories. A smile appeared on his face, and the way he described the situation also changed.
"My master and I have a special way of communicating. He once taught me an interesting little trick to increase the concealment of our letters. Only the two of us know it."
"I used this method on that letter and saw what he really wanted to write to me. It mentioned that my senior brother's soul was incomplete."
"It's not that I'm missing a soul or a spirit. Do you still remember Fei Miao's description back in Dongyue Town?"
He turned to look at Gu Xingyun beside him, who reacted quickly: "Disperse?"
"That's right." Baili Changhuan nodded. "It's just scattered. Every part is missing a little bit, so under normal circumstances, it won't be noticed at all."
"As long as you don't experience any major stimulation, it won't affect your normal life. However, if you are stimulated, or if you go astray during cultivation, the soul in your body will repair itself in the way it wants."
Gu Xingyun frowned: "What do you mean?"
Baili Changhuan casually pulled out a few empty bottles and said, "If five bottles represent a healthy soul, then in his case, there might be three on each side to maintain balance. After being stimulated..."
He pushed the two bottles on the left to the right: "Finish it yourself, there's only one left here."
"A person's emotions and attitude towards the world can directly indicate whether their soul is healthy."
Baili Changhuan's voice suddenly weakened. No one knew what he was thinking about, but he just stared at his hands in a daze.
"Junior Master, do you mean that those who commit many evil deeds have incomplete souls?" Gu Xingyun asked.
"No." Baili Changhuan waved his hand. "Many are simply evil, black from the inside out. This has nothing to do with it. The biggest difference between the disabled and them is that they know how to reflect on themselves. Their goodness is not pure, and their evil is not pure either."
Gu Xingyun didn't say anything else and listened quietly to him continue.
"I've felt strange for a long time, not only after Master left, but also during the Immortal Sect Conference. It wasn't until I saw that letter that many things began to make sense to me."
"Master also said in the letter that if one day you discover a drastic change in his temperament, don't be surprised, as it could be a good thing."
Thinking of Baili's attitude towards Yan Huailiu, Gu Xingyun nodded: "No wonder Junior Master-Uncle was never surprised, it turns out he knew it all along."
"Even if I didn't know, I wouldn't be surprised. Humph, he's capable of anything ridiculous. No matter how absurd the event is, it seems perfectly reasonable to him."
Thinking about how he had covered up for this unlucky senior brother over the years, Baili Changhuan's attitude became particularly bad, and he even wanted to secretly pinch Yan Huailiu.
However, his nephew was on high alert and he had no chance to attack.
After sulking for a while, Baili Changhuan continued to worry, "I thought he'd gotten better, that his soul was fine, but I didn't expect... So this is what the Qiankun Yin-Yang Mirror showed?"
The last sentence was unclear and the voice was deliberately lowered, so Gu Xingyun didn't hear it clearly.
He tried to digest what he heard as quickly as possible, and a sense of panic welled up in his heart.
After a moment, he clenched his fists and asked cautiously, "So, how can we remedy this?"
Baili Changhuan rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment: "The letter didn't mention it, but Master meant that it should be able to be repaired slowly without anyone else worrying about it, right?"
"What if not?" Gu Xingyun asked.
"If not..." Baili Changhuan seemed to have thought of something, and his face looked a little ugly.
He looked up and met the anxious-looking nephew in front of him. His scarlet eyes did not contain the cruelty of an ordinary demon cultivator, but only concern.
Baili Changhuan reached out and patted his nephew's shoulder, concealing the result mentioned in the letter, and comforted him, "There is nothing he can't do. You have to believe in his strength."
Gu Xingyun looked at him stubbornly, without looking away.
Baili Changhuan's smile suddenly disappeared: "I don't know, I can only tell you that if he leaves Yuxu Sect, the situation may be better."
"Why?" Gu Xingyun was puzzled.
Baili Changhuan ruffled his hair in annoyance. "Why so many whys? I was just guessing. My master's letter only told me to leave him alone, to go wherever he wants and live as he pleases."
He seemed angry and jealous: "You told me not to bully him, who is bullying whom? You are biased..."
"Junior Master." Gu Xingyun helped Yan Huailiu fix his hair and said word by word, "Have you heard of... the Lingxu Mirror?"
"What mirror? Lingxu Mirror? Hmm... Let me think, I have some impression of this name. Lingxu, Lingxu..."
Baili Changhuan poked his brow with one finger, trying desperately to recall the past. After a long while, he suddenly clapped his hands: "Oh! Lingxu Mirror! I remember now! I've seen it before."
His expression changed from surprise to caution: "Why are you asking this?"
Gu Xingyun slowly raised his left hand, and the Lingxu Mirror spun wildly in his palm. He slowed down his speech, fearing that Baili Changhuan couldn't hear him clearly.
"I just can't quite tell. Is Master's current condition due to the incomplete soul that Junior Uncle mentioned, or is it because..."
"I forcibly bound his soul to mine..."
