Clearly, Yin Ming's thoughts coincided with those of Liu Ying from back then:
“I understand their concerns—given this child’s status and position, if he has no cultivation, he will likely live in the shadow of being bullied by others for the rest of his life, and may even lose his life because of it.”
"Even if Chu Ya and Ling Ji continue to live in seclusion here, no matter how much they take care of him, or even protect him under their wings, there will inevitably be times when they are negligent."
"Chu Ya also told me at that time that retiring was their own wish. They did not want to force their child to stay by their side all the time, and hoped that he could grow up carefree and freely travel around the beautiful land of the God and Demon Continent."
"They want their children to be well and follow their hearts to choose their own path, rather than being forced to accept something because they lack self-cultivation."
Liu Ying's eyes flickered slightly, her expression a mixture of emotion and longing:
"People always say that if a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth. I thought everyone was selfish and self-interested. But I never imagined that there could be such selfless love in this world, that someone could go to such lengths for another, willingly giving their all and paving the way for them without any regrets."
"Perhaps this is the kind of blood-related affection I have never experienced before."
"I was moved by compassion, so I took out the Primordial Stone that I had obtained by chance during my travels. Actually, that was something I had been investigating all along—"
"Legend has it that in the beginning of the ancient chaos, the world was shrouded in mist. At that time, the spiritual and resentful energies were intertwined and entangled, and there was no distinction between gods and demons in the world."
"Since the spiritual and resentful energies could coexist back then, perhaps they can also find a way to recreate the miracle from millions of years ago and make the child's spiritual and resentful dantian merge into one."
"As long as the spiritual and resentful energies within his body no longer repel each other, he can naturally cultivate without restraint."
"As for the veracity of the rumors, the existence of the Primordial Stone is the best proof—"
"Chu Ya and Ling Ji sensed the inseparable spiritual and resentful energies swirling around the Primordial Stone, and knew that what I said was true. They were almost overjoyed and wept."
"Although our goals are different, we have been moving forward side by side."
"With their help, the chances of this succeeding will naturally be greater."
“I didn’t hide it from them—I had investigated the clues about the Primordial Stone several times before, but for some reason, there always seemed to be some subtle resistance in the dark.”
"I'm afraid that if we really find something, we will face immeasurable danger."
"But they were clearly not intimidated. After sending the child back to the Demon Sect, Chu Ya and Ling Ji immediately began preparations, determined to find out the truth behind the mutual repulsion of true qi."
"I just didn't expect..."
Liu Ying's words came to an abrupt end, and there was no further comment for a long time.
Yin Ming was listening intently when he noticed the conversation had stopped and snapped back to reality.
Just as I was wondering why Liu Ying stopped talking, I thought about it carefully and decided not to ask any further questions.
He guessed that what Liuying originally wanted to say was, "I just never expected that they would never return."
Some things don't need to be said too clearly, after all, no one wants to relive that painful ending.
Liu Ying's probing gaze fell unabashedly on Ling Yao. After a long while, she parted her red lips slightly and said:
"You're that child, aren't you? I should have noticed sooner, after all, your features are so similar to theirs."
"But... those without cultivation are at most two hundred years old. So many years have passed, I thought that child was long gone."
"Even if he were still alive, he would be a withered and frail old man. Therefore, even if you have the appearance of an old friend, I have never considered you to be the son of an old friend."
"Now it seems that the Demonic Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a great sect that has been passed down for tens of millions of years. After all, they do have other ways to restore you to normal."
"However, there must have been many hardships involved."
Liu Ying said with certainty, "Otherwise, Ling Ji would not have kept quiet about it back then."
Lingyao remained silent, but her eyes betrayed a growing panic.
After he succeeded as sect leader, the Grand Elder indeed sent all the books in the sect to his study, which is how he learned all the magic techniques of the Demonic Sect.
He also knew that only the six elders and the sect leader had the right to know about this heaven-defying technique.
As the former sect leader, Ling Ji has no reason not to know this method.
He didn't say it simply because he had never considered using this method—he couldn't bear to let Lingyao suffer the pain of reincarnation.
Because he couldn't bear to see Lingyao suffer, he took all the responsibility upon himself, ultimately sacrificing his life for it...
Even so, the letters they left behind did not blame him, nor did they leave any clues that would lead him to seek revenge; they simply told him to live out the rest of his life in peace.
Facing this issue again, Lingyao suddenly realized that they seemed to really love him.
It seems that I can no longer ignore them, and I am finally certain of the overwhelming love they have given me.
In an instant, Lingyao felt her heart clench with pain, and her eyes suddenly reddened.
But he ignored the pain and simply smiled sincerely, a genuine smile curving his lips.
I always thought I would always be someone who was abandoned.
So... there really was someone who loved him all along.
Sensing the relief Lingyao showed, Yin Ming took his left hand and intertwined their fingers.
The hardships of the past are over. Not only in the first half of your life, but from now on, there will always be someone who loves you.
As if understanding what Yin Ming wanted to express, Ling Yao buried her head in the crook of his neck and greedily inhaled the faint, cool fragrance lingering around him.
It was by following in Yin Ming's footsteps that he gradually learned the truth of what happened back then, and made him clearly feel that he was loved.
It was also because of Yin Ming's constant companionship and care that he learned about love, so that looking back on these painful experiences was not too unbearable.
How fortunate he was to have met such a wonderful person as Yin Ming.
Lingyao dared not imagine what the situation would be like without him before, let alone what the situation would be like without him in the future.
So he gripped Yin Ming's hand tightly, so hard that his knuckles turned white.
Since she can't live without him, she'll risk her life to stay by his side.
