Villain, be good! I'm here to give birth to a baby [Quick Wear]

"Destroying other people's path to immortality?"

When Ling Yunche heard this, he repeated it doubtfully.

"Isn't this the work of an evil cultivator?"

A normal cultivator would not do such a thankless task, it is completely meaningless.

"He's not an evil cultivator." Ye Ling said carefully, "He's just a normal cultivator. His cultivation is quite high... compared to his peers."

However, she heard Ling Yunche's righteous voice.

"That shouldn't destroy other people's spiritual roots."

"For cultivators who follow the right path, doing such a thankless task will only cause karma and be detrimental to their future cultivation. There is absolutely no need to do it."

"Besides, if someone else really has a higher cultivation level than me in the future, that is their ability. If I am outdone, I should practice diligently. Being jealous will hurt others and myself at the same time..."

Seeing that Ling Yunche was becoming more and more righteous, Ye Ling quickly interrupted him: "Brother, do you think this kind of person has his own reasons?"

Hearing this, Ling Yunche thought about it seriously.

"If he is a normal cultivator, he would not destroy others' spiritual roots for no reason, but the reason behind this... I am incompetent and cannot think of it."

Ye Ling murmured: "Even you can't figure it out? I can't figure it out either..."

"When you put it that way, the clues you gave are too few. It's really hard for me to come up with a suitable excuse. Perhaps you can try to tell me more about this person, or about the victim?"

Ling Yunche vaguely felt that what Ye Ling asked was related to the scene she dreamed of in the Nether Swamp.

Ye Ling hesitated. After struggling for a while, she said, "That's right...these two have a very good relationship, like a brother and sister. The one who cultivated first is very capable, but after knowing that his or her spiritual roots are excellent and may surpass theirs in the future, he or she asked someone to destroy his or her spiritual roots."

She looked up and asked in a low, tentative voice.

"So, can you think of a reason?"

Ling Yunche: “…”

Not only was he silent, but Zhujiu and Lin Yan'er beside him were also silent when asked.

Lin Yan'er knew some inside information. The paper mentioned that the sisters Ye Ling and Ye Ling would become enemies in the future, so she was told not to get involved, but there was nothing more specific.

She guessed that what Ye Ling said now was probably the reason why the two of them became enemies.

Zhujiu didn't care much and simply thought that this mortal was mentally ill.

Isn't it obvious that the other party is jealous and afraid of being surpassed by the newcomers? What hardship could there be? Don't mortals like to be cruel to their own kind?

Ling Yunche pondered for a moment.

He then said, “The two people you mentioned reminded me of a story the saint once told me.”

"Saint... Your Excellency?"

Ye Ling didn't expect to hear about this person. In fact, the word "saint" is already a respectful title. It's just that the saint's whereabouts are elusive, and he always gives people a sense of alienation whenever he appears. So every time she mentions him, she can't help but add the word "Your Excellency" at the end to show respect.

Except Ling Yunche.

Because in Zixiao Palace, Ling Yunche is the only one who has the best relationship with the saint.

"Yeah." Ling Yunche put his hands on his knees and recalled, "Before, the saint suddenly appeared when I was practicing, and forced me to tell me a story. I don't know what the deep meaning of this story is, but now when I hear your words, I inexplicably think of this story."

"I think maybe you can understand the saint's intention in telling this story."

Ye Ling was surprised.

To her, she was not even qualified to meet a cultivator of the Saint level. She could only catch a glimpse of him from afar during grand ceremonies within the sect, let alone hear his guidance to a talented disciple like Ling Yunche.

However, Ling Yunche did not mind sharing what the Saint had said to him. He began to tell the story slowly and seriously.

"It is said that a long time ago, a wife of a wealthy family had a heavy hemorrhage after giving birth to her first son. She almost died. Fortunately, there was a skilled doctor waiting by her side, so she luckily survived. However, her health was severely damaged as a result, and she could not have sex, let alone give birth again."

"So within a few years, her husband couldn't help but cheat on his wife and found another woman. After she became pregnant, he brought her home as a concubine. The wife angrily accused her husband of being ruthless and breaking their original vow to be together until old age, and started arguing with him."

"The husband was also furious and blamed his wife, saying that she was not generous and did not behave like a wife. It was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. He had only taken one, but she was making a fuss about it. She didn't even think about who had supported her at home all these years. What right did she have to tell him whether he took a concubine or not?"

"No one knew that the young eldest son squatted outside the window and listened to their conversation."

"My wife was already in poor health, and after this incident, she was so angry that she lay in bed, taking medicine every day. Finally, she vomited blood and died on the night when the concubine gave birth to her husband's second son."

"Since then, the relationship between the eldest son and his father has completely broken down."

"The eldest son also dislikes the concubine and the second son. He gets annoyed whenever he sees them and wishes they would disappear from his sight."

"When my eldest son was eleven years old, an immortal passed by this place. He was inspired by heaven and stopped here. He followed the guidance and came to this wealthy family."

"The head of the family entertained the immortal well and asked him why he came here. After seeing the eldest son, the immortal said that he had a destiny to be an immortal. If he cultivates immortality in the future, he will definitely be the best in the world!"

"So the eldest son followed the immortal back to the sect. When he was fourteen years old, he was indeed found to have a top-grade spiritual root, and was an excellent talent for cultivation. When the news reached home, his father was overjoyed and was very proud of him, often showing off."

"In order to please the eldest son, his father not only drove away the concubine who gave birth to the second son, but also dismissed the new woman in the backyard. However, his behavior did not please the eldest son, who still ignored him."

"But when he returned home and didn't see that annoying concubine, he did feel a little better, that's all."

"He still doesn't like this home. Every time he comes back, it's only when it's time for the sect to rest. Every time he comes back, he only goes to three places - the martial arts training ground, the main hall, and the bedroom."

"One to practice the sword skills I learned, one to eat, and one to sleep. Life is simple and repetitive."

"With enough hard work and extraordinary talent, he soon became the best disciple in the sect. Not only compared with his peers, but he was the best."

"What the immortal said seems to be beginning to be verified in him. If nothing unexpected happens, within a hundred years, his strength will surely reach the top of the immortal cultivation world. Being the best in the world is no longer a joke."

"One time, he went home as usual and was practicing swordplay in the martial arts field. He noticed a silent child sitting in a corner. The child was in a daze and looked a little silly. After calling him a few times, he realized belatedly that someone was calling him."

"This is the second son born to the concubine. He has been quiet since he was born. He likes to sit alone in one place and ignore others. He looks stupid and is often nicknamed 'idiot'."

"The eldest son knew him and didn't want to see him. He wanted him to go play somewhere else, but he was pulled by the corner of his clothes. It was also the first time he heard the voice of this demented brother speaking."
