Gu Zhe shook his head. "They have metal-type abilities, which allow them to travel through time and space at will. I chased them for an entire afternoon, but eventually had to return due to exhaustion of spiritual energy. However, that person was also injured, and he won't be able to appear here again for at least two or three months."
"Don't worry, they usually only dare to make a move if they encounter someone with a black life spirit. Most of the people in the village are ordinary folks, and their life spirits haven't been tainted by the black aura. If they harm these villagers, their spiritual veins will gradually wither, and the consequences will be severe." Gu Zhe saw the worried look in Li Mai's eyes and knew what she was thinking, so he said.
Li Mai understood and nodded. "Okay, I understand. So, does that mean Zhou Chunniang is a black soul?"
She had never met Zhou Chunniang and did not know the color of her life essence.
Gu Zhe nodded. "Yes, during her year of begging, she killed several people while fighting for food to survive, along with her two grandsons. However, they frequently changed locations, and since those they killed were all pitiful, destitute people, no one ever arrested them. Not only is her spirit black, but so are those two children's and Zhou Chun's. Zhou Chun also killed someone in the quarry where he was imprisoned, accidentally pushing someone to death during a fight. However, he claimed that the other person fell and died on their own, thus escaping punishment."
After listening, Li Mai frowned, nodded, and said nothing.
Those who do evil will be punished by Heaven, but she never expected that there would still be such a thing as prison reform in this era.
After Li Mai saw that Gu Zhe had regained his complexion, she took him out of the space.
“My children, I will not allow you to study the ways of the strong. They are just my children. I will teach them according to their aptitude to become whatever kind of person they become, but I will absolutely not allow the Li family to touch them.” As soon as Li Mai came out of the space, he said to Gu Zhe with a cold expression.
She was genuinely afraid that this man, who currently seemed like a loving father, might suddenly go mad one day and start researching some kind of powerful bloodline, stealing her children to do his research. If that happened, she would protect her children at all costs.
Gu Zhe shook his head. "Those were just the research directions and goals of our Li clan in our past lives. But in the end, the Li and Luo clans have disappeared into the long river of history. Now, we all have our own surnames. You are the only one in the Li clan who still bears the surname Li."
"As for the Luo family, I really don't know where they live now, so what happens to them in the future is up to you."
After Gu Zhe finished speaking, he stood up. "Dad is leaving. You must take good care of yourself. As for the Luo family, Dad will keep a close eye on them. You should also pay more attention to them and try to keep them around you as much as possible. The Luo family can't sense your presence."
“Actually, you did the right thing by sealing Luo Ying’s memories. Without those memories, he won’t awaken Luo Ying’s bloodline, and the Luo Clan will never succeed,” Gu Zhe added.
“Then you shouldn’t have any expectations. When we were pregnant, he hadn’t awakened his divine beast bloodline yet, so neither the Li family nor the Luo family is destined to succeed,” Li Mai said, looking at him.
Gu Zhe was taken aback, then nodded slightly. Yes, he had been overthinking things. He felt relieved, waved to Li Mai, and left.
After Gu Zhe left, Li Mai paced back and forth, eating an apple as she did so. The truth was revealed.
Then, the people of the Luo family will definitely come again.
The reason they aren't watching the child in her womb now is probably because they know Zhou Quan's divine beast bloodline hasn't awakened, so her child doesn't have that bloodline and therefore can't attract their attention.
What they needed to do was to provoke Zhou Quan, make him go berserk and furious, hoping that he would awaken his divine beast bloodline.
That's wishful thinking!
However, Li Mai felt she also had to guard against them threatening her family to provoke Zhou Quan.
When Zhou Quan returned, it was already 9 PM. Li Mai was still awake and was sitting at the table drawing something. When she heard him push the door open and come in, she stood up.
"Xiaomai, is it cold inside? Do we need to light a fire?" Zhou Quan had been worried about this the whole way, afraid that it would be cold inside when Limai was sleeping.
"It's alright, don't worry, I've already started the fire. Have you eaten?" Li Mai asked.
"I ate. I ate in town with Brother Shizhou and the others." Zhou Quan nodded, took off his cloak, and didn't dare to get close to Li Mai first, as he emanated a cold aura.
"Is Zhuzhu already asleep?" When he returned, he heard that the room was quiet.
"Zhuzhu stayed there last night. Xiaolin came over and brought me dumplings, and also mentioned that Zhuzhu and the others stayed there."
"Oh, okay, is it safe over there? Should I go take a look? You go to sleep first!" Zhou Quan prepared to go over and check.
“No need to go. I’ve checked, it’s safe over there. Sit down and rest for a while. I’ll tell you some things Gu Zhe told me.” Li Mai gestured for him to sit down.
Zhou Quan hummed in agreement, then took off his outer robe, leaving only his inner garment, and sat down next to Li Mai, waiting for her to speak.
Li Mai also put away the paintings on the table and placed them on the table inside the room before telling him everything that Gu Zhe had said after he arrived.
"These things are all caused by some things in your past life. Their goal is very clear now. They are after your destiny. They want to provoke you and make you awaken the bloodline of the ancient divine beast. Then they can use your bloodline to strengthen their own family and cultivate powerful people."
"However, the past is the past, and the things of the past life are the things of the past life. Since you have chosen to seal your memories, there is no possibility of you awakening again. Therefore, their goal is destined to fail."
