“Xing’er, you tell us yourself.”
Chai Xing'er mechanically recounted, "My ex-husband harbored resentment because of Chai Jianyuan's death. So, taking advantage of the conflict between the father and son over Chai Lan's marriage, I secretly let Chai Xian know about his background, which aggravated his dissociative identity disorder."
An uproar erupted in the hall.
Chai Xian killed the person, but Chai Xing'er set up the scheme.
Neither of these two people was innocent.
Neither of these two people was innocent.
There was nothing else Xing'er could do but tell him her previous plan bit by bit.
"I gave Chai Jianyuan a slow-acting poison, so that he would die at the hands of Chai Xian in a reasonable way. Chai Xian was extreme from a young age, and his other side was even more extreme and ruthless."
He discovered that Chai Jianyuan was the culprit behind his tragic childhood, and it was Chai Jianyuan who wanted to marry his beloved girl off to someone else.
How will he react?
At this moment, the Chai family brought in a disheveled woman.
Chai Xing'er's face paled even more.
Chai Xian stared intently at the woman, and through her disheveled hair, he could make out her face.
"Xiao Lan." He trembled, making a sound that sounded like a cry.
Chai Lan opened her mouth, but overwhelmed with emotion, she couldn't speak and burst into tears.
"Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan..." Chai Xian twisted his body and moved in front of her, examining her carefully several times, his emotions a mixture of sorrow and joy: "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
Chai Xing'er didn't say anything more. She slowly walked towards Li Lingsu, raised her hands, and cupped the handsome face of the Holy Son.
"Li Lang, I knew you were a libertine from the moment I saw you. I knew what kind of person you were from the moment I met you."
She sighed, "I didn't want to pay attention to you, but you insisted on provoking me. After you came back from Thousand Absolute Valley, I could no longer go against my heart and fall in love with you."
"Xing'er, why are you doing this?" Li Lingsu said bitterly.
Why go to such lengths just to vent a grievance?
Is it simply because Chai Jianyuan turned her deceased husband into an iron corpse?
Li Lingsu couldn't understand. Just as he was about to say something, Chai Xing'er, who was holding his cheeks, suddenly turned her palm over and slapped her own forehead.
The changes came too quickly, catching Li Lingsu completely off guard.
He could only watch as the palm, brimming with energy, struck Chai Xing'er's brow as her pupils contracted sharply.
Li Lingsu suddenly flew out and knocked Chai Xing'er to the ground. He held Chai Xing'er's shoulders, feeling a mixture of shock, anger, and pity.
"Suicide? You kept saying you loved me, and then you just turned around and committed suicide? Why?"
Li Chang'an thought to himself, "This guy is really a romantic. Li Lingsu, this woman is using you and diverting everyone's attention."
Chai Xing'er said bitterly, "Senior, I have nothing more to say. I can only atone with my death. Do you still care?"
"You haven't even finished asking the question yet, and you're already thinking about dying? Isn't that a bit too hasty?" Li Chang'an smiled.
The mastermind behind the murder has confessed, the truth of the case has come to light, what else is there to ask?
"Ning Yan, you must still have questions. Please continue asking."
"Yes, Master." Xu Qi'an glanced at everyone. "Don't you all find this strange?"
Myolie Chai's ex-husband has been dead for nearly three years. Why has she remained inactive for all that time, waiting until now to make her move?
Chai Xing'er pursed her lips and said frankly, "I am waiting for an opportunity to worsen Chai Xian's dissociative identity disorder. The marriage between the Chai family and the Huangfu family is that opportunity."
"The second point of doubt is, why did you imprison Chai Lan? Chai Jianyuan is your enemy, Chai Xian is your tool, but Chai Lan is an outsider, so why did you imprison her?"
After a long silence, Chai Xing'er's eyes flashed with resentment. "Do you know why my husband and elder brother were ambushed by our enemies when they went out on business that day?"
She scoffed, looked around at everyone, and sneered, "There are no enemies at all; it was all a scheme set up by Big Brother."
"Nonsense!" Chai Lan retorted loudly, her voice choked with emotion. "Why would Father do this? Aunt, you've already harmed Father, are you going to slander him again?"
Chai Xing'er sneered, "Of course it's for his bastard child. My husband and I are both fifth-rank officials. Since my husband married into the Chai family, he is now a member of the Chai family."
His two sons were both failures, while Chai Xian was exceptionally talented but suffered from dissociative identity disorder. While searching for a cure, he worried that if Chai Xian's dissociative identity disorder could not be cured, how could he, as an adopted son, inherit the position of family head?
Will the clan support an outsider, or will they support us, my wife and me? He's confident that while he's alive, he can keep us in check. But once he's dead, the Chai family will be ours for the taking.
Therefore, he wanted to eliminate my husband while I had no children in order to maintain the balance. That way, even if Chai Xian's illness could not be cured in the future, Chai Xian could still assist the second or third son as an adopted son.
"I'll make sure the position of head of the Chai family doesn't fall into my hands. He caused my husband's tragic death, so I'll retaliate in kind, even against his most beloved daughter. But Lan'er is still my niece, and I still can't bring myself to kill her."
"How could this be..." Li Lingsu had no idea that there was such a secret behind this case.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it..." Chai Lan shook her head desperately.
At this moment, Li Chang'an spoke up, "What you said is all true, but not entirely true."
“Chai Jianyuan may have really harmed your husband back then, but that has nothing to do with your imprisonment of Chai Lan. Your purpose in imprisoning Chai Lan was to keep Chai Xian in Xiangzhou.”
Chai Xing'er retreated repeatedly, her expression strange, as if she had seen a demon.
"Who, who are you?!" Chai Xing'er screamed.
Li Lingsu vaguely understood some of it, but the others couldn't keep up with her train of thought.
……
at the same time.
Lingbao Temple in Beijing.
Luo Yuheng stood by the window, feeling cold both physically and mentally.
She gazed at the horizon with sorrow, fear creeping in and eventually engulfing her entire being.
“This can’t go on. If we wait until the fire of karma reignites before we go looking for him, what if we can’t find him?”
"The matter of suppressing the karmic fire with the power of destiny must not be lost. I should stay by Li Lang's side at all times to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Luo Yuheng, who was afraid of personality disorder, suddenly stood up, "I must take my own destiny into my own hands."
"I don't know what Li Lang is doing, or if he's in the crowd. For absolute safety, I'd better wear a veil to avoid causing a commotion."
Then, following the direction of the magical artifact on Li Chang'an's body, she activated the "Travel" secret technique, and vanished without a trace amidst the fluctuations in the void.
Xiangzhou, Chai family.
Just as everyone was wondering about Chai Xing'er's movements, the space in the hall suddenly trembled, and the spatial power in mid-air spread out like ripples on water.
"Li Lang, are you here?" A melodious voice echoed through the hall.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the sounds and vibrations in mid-air.
What level of cultivation would it take to cause such a spatial tremor?
As the words were spoken, a graceful figure dressed in a Tai Chi robe emerged from the void and slowly landed beside Li Chang'an.
The woman wore a thin white veil, with a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, which made her skin appear even more delicate and radiant.
Her black hair was simply tied up, and her eyes, as clear as autumn water, were full of tension and unease, with a hint of tears glistening in them.
However, the moment Luo Yu saw Li Chang'an, she smiled brightly and firmly took his arm.
"Li Lang, seeing you puts my mind at ease."
Everyone was petrified during Luo Yuheng's parachute landing.
The Chai family members were all captivated by Luo Yuheng's diverse appearances, unable to utter a word for a long time, staring blankly as Luo Yuheng walked to Li Chang'an's side.
Chu Yuanzhen was shocked by the Grand Preceptor's state. Knowing that he couldn't reveal the Grand Preceptor's identity here, he opened his mouth several times but couldn't utter a single word.
Li Miaozhen also found it strange. Luo Yuheng had completely lost his usual aloofness and was no longer putting on airs as the Imperial Preceptor. He seemed like a completely different person.
These past two nights, has Li Chang'an been going to see the Imperial Advisor...? They finally consummated their marriage.
It seems the Imperial Advisor is quite attractive; Li Lang has been captivated for two nights.
Xu Qi'an wasn't surprised that Luo Yuheng had come looking for him, but he felt that Luo Yuheng's state was a bit off, unlike the aura of the Imperial Advisor.
"My lady, what brings you here?" Li Chang'an did not reveal Luo Yuheng's identity.
Luo Yuheng frowned slightly, "I was worried about you..."
She then glanced around before sitting down next to Li Chang'an, patting her full chest with a look of relief and contentment.
"You can continue, I won't disturb you."
As Xu Qi'an and the others turned around to continue talking, Luo Yuheng quietly asked.
“Li Lang, that person seems strange; his primordial spirit appears to be in great turmoil.” She was referring to Chai Xian.
Li Chang'an explained, "He has a split personality; two souls live in one body."
Luo Yuheng looked puzzled, then nodded suddenly, "Li Lang, is it... my condition..."
Li Chang'an stared intently at Luo Yuheng's serious gaze, "Yuheng... you still have some self-awareness."
"He has two souls living inside him, so what?" Luo Yuheng curled his lip.
Xu Qi'an and the others were all drawn to this sentence, and then they heard Luo Yuheng proudly boasting.
"I have eight inside me!"
