Chapter 94
After Jiang Xiaoxiao left, Zhang Yichu finally looked towards Xie Xun, "Have a seat."
Xie Xun walked over and sat down at the stone table.
Zhang Yichu personally poured him a cup of tea, "My apologies, on our first meeting, I should not have discussed such topics with you, but as a father, I cannot stand by and watch my daughter get into trouble."
Xie Xun's movement of drinking tea paused slightly, "What do you mean, Xiao Shishu?"
"My daughter Xiaoxiao was born with a nature that is both righteous and evil."
Zhang Yichu's tone conveyed deep helplessness.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
"Sixteen years ago when she was born, in order to suppress the evil energy within her, I exhausted all my cultivation attainments to seal it away, but sixteen years have passed, and the seal is about to break."
"You have been with her for so long, you must have noticed that under normal circumstances, she becomes smaller once every month, during the few days of the full moon."
Xie Xun nodded.
Zhang Yichu said: "That is because during the nights of the full moon, it is when the evil energy within her rages the most, so I can only use this seal to make her transform during those few days to suppress the evil energy."
Xie Xun fell into deep thought.
Indeed, he had guessed correctly that the reason for Xiaoxiao's transformation each month was not a curse, but a seal.
This seal existed to protect Xiaoxiao.
"The herbal baths I prepared for her were also to suppress the evil energy."
Zhang Yichu sighed after saying this, "But these are merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause."
Xie Xun roughly understood what Zhang Yichu meant, "Is there anything I can do?"
Zhang Yichu pursed his lips, and after a long while, he slowly spoke, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhang Yichu, and I come from a place called the 'Divine Realm', not from this continent."
Xie Xun showed some surprise on his face.
The Divine Realm?
Zhang Yichu held the crystal in his hand and examined it carefully, but did not find anything special. He frowned, "You're saying this thing lit up?"
"Yes."
"But it's clearly just an ordinary crystal, and I can't sense any energy from it at all. How could it have lit up? Could you have been mistaken?"
"Perhaps."
Xie Xun could not explain it, because after that day, the crystal had never shown any reaction again.
"Xiao Shishu." Xie Xun looked at Zhang Yichu seriously, "I want to save Xiaoxiao, please tell me how I can regain my abilities as soon as possible."
The old celestial master, who had not spoken, finally said: "Young man, this matter cannot be rushed. You still need a catalyst."
"A catalyst?"
The old celestial master said: "That day is not far off now."
Xie Xun understood the principle of not revealing heavenly secrets, so the old celestial master could not say more, and he could not force him to elaborate.
"Xie Xun." Zhang Yichu suddenly called out to him, his voice rather solemn.
"Please go ahead, Xiao Shishu."
Zhang Yichu said: "You also know Xiaoxiao's situation. She cannot be with you too soon... Moreover, you have not had the grand marriage ceremony yet."
"I understand."
Since the time he had inadvertently made Jiang Xiaoxiao transform, Xie Xun had been exercising restraint. Holding her little hand was still acceptable, but going any further was absolutely forbidden.
In other words, he had to regain his former abilities, completely purify the evil energy within Xiaoxiao, before he could marry her.
If Lang Jin, the him from a hundred years ago, had already become a deity, why did he end up sacrificing himself and becoming the powerless son of the royal family a hundred years later?
Xie Xun really wanted to know the answer.
What had happened over a hundred years ago?
