“That’s because I’ve got something good to share with you!” Ye Lengan said with a sly smile, “l believe I’ve figured out the secret of Ye Xiyuan.”
“You know?” Huangfu Ruiling was taken aback. “Did you do something to her?”
“Hey, you’ve got me all wrong.” Ye Lengan grinned mischievously, shaking her head. “This time, it was Ye Xiyuan’s doing. I didn’t lift a finger. However, since she’s delivered it into my hands, it wouldn’t be right for me not to accept it. ”
“What happened?” Huangfu Ruiling furrowed his brow, a hint of severity in his gaze. “Has Ye Xiyuan been up to something again?”
Ye Lengan remained tight-lipped. Instead, she turned her wrist, revealing a white glowing orb floating in her palm. The orb seemed to be trapped by some force, struggling intensely but unable to break free.
Observing the radiant object in Ye Leng’an’s hand, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t help but frown. “What is this?”
The aura emanating from the orb felt alien. It didn’t seem particularly unique, yet it gave off an unsettling vibe.
“If I’m not mistaken, this is the secret from Ye Xiyuan,” Ye Lengan remarked, gazing at the small entity, her eyes gleaming with a cold determination. “The reason for Ye Xiyuan!s enigmatic behavior likely stems from this. Today, during the exam, this thing entered my mind, seemingly attempting to attack my consciousness,” Ye Lengan continued, her voice composed. “1 took the chance to contain it.’
“Do you know what this is?” Huangfu Ruiling inquired, his interest piqued by the peculiar item.
“I’m not sure,” Ye Lengan replied, her eyes locked on the luminous sphere in
her hand. She sported a sly smile and continued, “But I think it’s capable of communication. Otherwise, how could it interact with Ye Xiyuan? Let’s give it a try.”
With that, she spoke directly to the peculiar thing, her gaze fixed on the orb. However, it appeared the thing couldn’t comprehend her words, continuing to struggle without response.
“It seems like it doesn’t understand me,” Ye Lengan remarked, her smile growing more radiant, yet her aura chilling. “Ruiling, what do you think we should do now?”
“If communication is impossible, we might as well destroy it,” Huangfu Ruiling suggested in a straightforward and ruthless manner. “Useless items don’t deserve to linger.”
Having spoken, Huangfu Ruiling raised his hand, and a murderous aura seeped from his fingertips. The aura seemed to act with intent, drifting toward the orb in Ye Lengan’s grasp, enshrouding it completely without harming Ye Lengan.
Swiftly, the luminous orb was nearly engulfed by the murderous aura.
“No, please, don’t. Please release me. I’ll tell you everything you want to know,” a shrill, aged voice suddenly reverberated in the office, originating from the luminous orb. The voice was sharp and tinged with panic.
“It appears it can speak,” Ye Lengan remarked, nodding at Huangfu Ruiling. She continued, “Ruiling, isn’t it funny how some things can be so stubborn? When you try to talk to them nicely, they refuse to listen, but they strangely prefer it when you get tough with them.”
Huangfu Ruiling, unfazed, nodded in agreement. “You’re absolutely right,
An’an.”
“You insolent brat! How dare you be so disrespectful to me?” the elderly voice retorted. “Do you even know who I am? Back when I reigned supreme, you were nowhere to be found!”
“Ah,” Ye Lengan responded indifferently. Her words struck a nerve, underscoring her point. “But what of it? You’re in our hands now, and we decide your fate.”
The luminous orb, upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s blunt words, remained silent, perhaps miffed.
“Alright, now that you can speak, that’s more convenient,” Ye Lengan declared.
Retracting her hand, the luminous orb continued to hover, enshrouded by the murderous energy. “Let’s set aside the rest for now. Tell us, just who are you?” The orb bobbed up and down, but it did not respond to Ye Leng’an’s inquiry.
As Ye Lengan was about to act again, Huangfu Ruiling interjected, “It’s a remnant soul, concealing itself with special techniques, that’s why we didn’t notice it.”
“How did you know that?” the elderly voice inquired, sounding surprised.
However, it soon realized its mistake and promptly fell silent.
Ye Lengan understood, her gaze shifting. “So that’s the case!”
The murderous aura. had merged with Huangfu Ruiling, most likely detecting it during its interaction with the luminous orb. This explained how Huangfu Ruiling had knowledge of it.
“Now that we’re aware, there’s no need for pretense,” Ye Leng’an addressed the remnant soul. “Speak up! What’s your connection with Ye Xiyuan?” The remnant soul continued to feign ignorance, behaving as if it couldn’t understand.
“As expected, you won’t confess until it’s your last resort,” Ye Lengan commented, her smile growing even brighter and colder. She turned to Huangfu Ruiling, saying, “Ruiling, I believe that since it’s a remnant soul, it implies it shouldn’t exist in this world. Therefore, we should assist it in gaining an early release! ”
Huangfu Ruiling nodded, then raised his hand and squeezed it. The murderous aura seemed to sense something and began to tighten.
“No, please, don’t,” the elderly voice cried out again, this time filled with panic. “You can’t do this. If I’m gone, you won’t know anything.”
“But even if you were here, I wouldn’t know anything!” Ye Lengan remarked casually. “Besides, I just need to know that you’ve been assisting Ye Xiyuan in framing me. That’s enough, isn’t it?”
Thinking back to her first life, she knew that it was with the aid of this remnant soul that her fate had been so miserable. Therefore, this remnant soul was also one of the main culprits. Since she couldn’t extract any information from it, destroying it seemed like the best course of action. With that in mind, Ye Leng’an’s eyes glittered with a murderous intent..
