"Xiao Qiu?"
Could it be that she had seen the confidential letter?
No, it couldn't be.
The letter was under a time - based restriction. She shouldn't have seen it so early.
"I've been feeling restless all night. Later, I went to your tent but couldn't find you. So I searched all the way. Then I saw the white birds flying towards the palace. I thought you and the phoenix must be there, so I rushed here."
But as soon as she arrived.
She heard Moyan's disgusting words.
She hadn't had the chance to settle the old scores with Moyan for all the things he had done to use her.
Now hearing Moyan's so - called "affectionate" confession, Luo Qiu felt even more nauseated.
This man who always put everything before her sister, what right did he have to say that he loved her sister?
What he loved.
Was just the unattainable Luo Feiyan.
If her sister stood in his way, although he might hesitate, in the end, he would surely push her sister aside.
This Moyan.
Thought he was a man of affection and righteousness.
In fact.
Luo Qiu had never seen anyone in the world with such a deep - seated scheming as Moyan, who could magnify the shortcomings and weaknesses of everyone and use them for his own ends.
He even had the heart to harm his own son.
He was no different from Liu Yuan, who had claimed to love his daughter but had also done shameless things to hurt her.
"Take me away."
At this moment.
An extremely weak voice came from the ground.
It was Mo Bai's voice.
Everyone quickly looked at Mo Bai.
Mo Bai's usually calm eyes were completely black.
Was he...
Blind?
He turned his head.
Relying on his sense, he "looked" at Zhao Shuning.
Moyan quickly said, "Mo Bai, don't worry. Father will take you back and take good care of you."
Mo Bai didn't answer.
He spoke again.
Saying, "Ningning—you—you take me away."
Moyan stopped.
He reached out his hand, but Mo Bai didn't react at all.
Moyan waved his hand.
Mo Bai still didn't react.
Was he...
Blind?
"Mo Bai, what's wrong with you?"
"Thanks to my father."
What Ningning and the others said was actually not enough. The truth was even more cruel.
Moyan was his father.
But it was only when he fought against those countless souls just now that Mo Bai realized that since he was born, he had been living as a container.
The memories of those souls.
Came rushing in crazily just now.
Since his birth.
He had been unwelcome.
Moyan was his biological father, but Mo Bai's birth was just a solution to Moyan's immediate problem.
Originally.
With his own ability.
It wouldn't have been difficult for him to become the host of those countless souls.
Even if there was the power of the Ghost Domain in his body, so what? There was also the remaining bloodline of an ancient fierce beast in his body. Originally, he could have endured it.
But.
He had to thank his good father for that.
As soon as Mo Bai was born.
Moyan didn't like this son of his.
So he sealed the resentments left by those souls of the high - level cultivators he had killed, along with the restrictions, into Mo Bai's body.
So.
That was why the soul - guiding souls had been so crazy before.
In the eyes of those countless souls, he, Mo Bai, was the one who had killed them back then.
So.
From the very beginning.
His birth had never been expected.
Moyan didn't love him as much as he claimed.
It was all just an illusion.
As a father, Moyan's acting skills were really good.
He had not only deceived Mo Bai and Zhao Shuning.
But also the people in the Ghost Domain.
Maybe even Moyan himself believed that he loved this son.
"I won't let you go."
"Keeping me is still useful to you, isn't it?"
Mo Bai's voice was weak.
His body.
Became transparent again at an extremely fast speed.
Zhao Shuning was shocked.
Moyan also let out a cry of surprise.
"Rebellious son, what are you doing?"
"Destroy your container."
Mo Bai's face was deathly pale.
As the last word fell.
The mocking smile on his face was completely frozen.
The moment his whole body became transparent.
It immediately exploded.
Zhao Shuning's legs went weak, and her heart ached suddenly.
This time.
Mo Bai had disappeared forever.
As his transparent body shattered into thousands of pieces.
A sky - blue spiritual force flew out of that body.
Then.
That spiritual force quickly flew towards Zhao Shuning.
And rushed into her eyebrows.
Zhao Shuning's grief had not yet faded.
Her whole body became numb.
What followed was a divine power as clear as the sky.
It was as if her whole body was undergoing a small - scale baptism.
Zhao Shuning could feel that the sky - blue spiritual force was gently washing her meridians at a moderate speed.
Finally.
This spiritual force stayed at Zhao Shuning's temple.
And settled down.
Zhao Shuning covered her chest.
It was as if new strength had been injected there.
The pain from the broken ribs on her lower back caused by using the soul - summoning spell also completely disappeared at this moment.
It was as if something had reshaped her bones.
Zhao Shuning stretched out her hands.
Moyan was still immersed in the grief of suddenly losing Mo Bai.
He knelt down.
Facing the place where Mo Bai had disappeared and exploded.
Seeming to cry.
Seeming to laugh.
"For a woman, you actually gave up our father - son dream for so many years. Rebellious son, truly a rebellious son."
"Why did you choose this way? Staying and accompanying father, wouldn't that be good?"
Father has no other close people besides you.
The one I loved.
Hates me and abandons me.
The closest person.
Deserts me and resents me.
All I've done is for Loulan, for all of you.
There seemed to be a sigh in Zhao Shuning's mind.
However.
At this moment, Zhao Shuning didn't have the time to figure out the origin of this sigh.
She took a step forward.
A green sword appeared in her palm.
"Moyan, give me the souls."
"Give them to you? Yan'er, do you think that's possible? I've paid so much and finally reached this stage. Everything I should have lost and shouldn't have lost is gone. This is my only hope, and you still want to take it away?"
Moyan didn't think he was wrong.
He still believed.
That everyone had let him down.
"The reason why Mo Bai chose to leave in this way rather than stay by your side, Moyan, don't you really think you've done something wrong?"
"I'm not wrong."
Luo Qiu stepped forward.
Saying, "Sister, you don't need to say so much to him. I've deeply felt this man's treachery and cunning over the past few hundred years."
Luo Qiu considered herself quite intelligent.
But no matter how intelligent she was, wasn't she still caught by Moyan's weakness and used by him desperately?
Over the years.
Moyan had deliberately shown weakness.
Many of the evil schemes on the Nine - State Continent had been carried out by Luo Qiu.
Even a capable person like Luo Qiu had unknowingly become a knife in Moyan's hand.
There were so many things he was good at.
Now.
Luo Qiu even suspected.
That Moyan might have hidden his true strength.
