With sensitive fingers, Li Huowang touched the pen marks he had written on the paper, searching for solutions one by one.

"First, I need to get Bai Lingmiao new eyes. Her eyes are getting worse and this can't be delayed. Since Liu Zongyuan said that the Monitoring Bureau in the capital has them, I definitely have to go and see for myself."

"Besides, I've done quite a bit of work in the Monitoring Bureau. I've earned a lot, but other than bribing Hong Da to kill Xinchishi, I haven't done much else. This is a good opportunity to change everything."

"As for her short lifespan, I don't know if the Yangshou Pill will work for her."

"By the way, where did Bai Lingmiao go? Why haven't I seen her all night?"

"Li Sui, where is your mother?"

"She went to the room with many black wooden boards hanging on the wall."

Upon hearing this, Li Huowang's expression dimmed slightly, so he didn't ask any further. Bai Lingmiao went to the ancestral hall.

"It's nothing. It's late, you should go to sleep too."

Upon hearing Li Huowang's words, Li Sui nodded and left the house.

When he returned to the Bai family's courtyard wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, he turned and walked towards the stable. That's where she was temporarily staying.

Apart from some horses used for pulling carriages, there weren't many horses there, making it look empty.

Li Sui walked to the deepest part of the stable, where it was already covered with a thick layer of hay.

Li Sui crawled into the haystack, stretched her body satisfactorily, and curled her grotesque body into a flat shape.

But after a while of silence, Li Sui crawled out again. She tilted her head and looked towards the ancestral hall, then lifted her disjointed foot and walked towards it.

She quickly arrived at the ancestral hall. The hidden door on the wall was not closed. Li Sui thought for a moment, bent her body and walked towards the inside.

When she saw the spacious hall of the White Lotus Sect and faced the unfamiliar environment, Li Sui appeared very curious. She occasionally sniffed the lotus white flag on the ceiling and scratched the wall paintings with her claws.

After walking around for a while, Li Sui stopped and looked towards a side door on the wall. There was a familiar scent coming from there.

After hesitating for a while, she finally walked in. It was dark inside, but the scent became stronger. It was her mother's scent.

Soon, Li Sui heard some sobbing sounds from the direction of the scent. It seemed that her mother was crying.

"We have been together day and night for so long. I know how Li Shixiong feels about me. I don't want to make him sad, but..."

"But I really don't know what to do. As long as I stay with him, every night when I close my eyes, my parents will appear in my dreams and curse me. They curse me for being ungrateful and heartless. I'm so tired, so tired of living."

"Do I really have to leave Li Shixiong? But... I really can't bear to."

"The struggle between these two sides makes me want to die, but because of the immortal world, I can't even die."

"Oh, Wusheng Laomu, no matter what I do now, it's all wrong. What should I do?"

The voice from the direction of the scent stopped, and Li Sui thought for a moment before preparing to get closer. However, she was blocked by a red figure in front of her.

"Mother?" Li Sui softly said to the Twin Soul in front of her. "Mother, it's so late, why aren't you going to sleep? Father told me to go to sleep."

The Twin Soul extended her pale right hand, covered Li Sui's right front paw, which was exposed with bones and had black tentacles, and slowly walked inside the dim tunnel.

When Li Sui was led by the Twin Soul through a hidden door, she saw a weak white woman kneeling in front of the lotus flower, who was another mother.

Bai Lingmiao held three incense sticks in her hand and looked up at the twin lotus on the wall with tears in her eyes. "Wusheng Laomu... Are you really as described in the books? Are you truly omnipotent?"

"But if you really exist, why didn't you appear to save the Bai family when they were killed by Li Shixiong? They believed in you, so why didn't you show yourself?"

Li Sui stood there, listening to her own mother's words as she knelt.

Until Li Sui started to feel drowsy, she finally saw her mother, with her eyes red, standing up and bowing three times respectfully to the twin lotus on the wall.

"Wusheng Laomu, if you are truly as compassionate as described in the books, please help me out of this predicament."

"If you can fulfill my wish, I, Bai Lingmiao, will devote myself to the White Lotus Sect for my whole life and serve you forever."

Bai Lingmiao looked up again at the twin lotus on the wall, but there was no change at all.

It seemed that this was already destined, but disappointment still hung deeply on Bai Lingmiao's face.

When she turned around in a daze, she saw Li Sui and the Twin Soul standing there.

Bai Lingmiao didn't have any extra reaction. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked towards the outside.

She walked ahead, and the Twin Soul silently followed behind, holding Li Sui's hand.

They walked all the way to the entrance of the ancestral hall, and Bai Lingmiao stopped. Without turning her head, her voice choked as she said, "Do you look down on me so much? How could you go and worship that obviously fake thing?"

"If you feel tired, I can take your place." A gloomy voice sounded from under the red hood.

Bai Lingmiao bit her lower lip and shook her head forcefully. "No, if the evil energy enters my body again, Li Shixiong will be even more heartbroken."

The Twin Soul extended her pale hands and covered Li Sui's damaged dog ears. "You can't even live happily yourself, so why do you care about what he thinks? You're more like his dog than a bun."

"You!!"

The red hood slipped off, revealing a ferocious beast face underneath.

"You hate it when others are just a little kind to you. You're so eager to give your heart to others. You deserve it."

"If you follow the rules of the green forest, he is the murderer of your father. If you want to be a dutiful daughter, then find an opportunity to kill Li Huowang. But you neither dare nor want to."

"If you think a living Li Huowang is better than the dead members of the Bai family, then marry him peacefully and consummate the marriage as soon as possible. But you can't get over this hurdle in your heart."

"When something happens, instead of thinking about how to solve the problem, you place your hopes on the illusory and elusive Mother of No Birth, praying for the gods to show their power. You are weak."

"So wake up. No matter what you ask for, no one can help you. The only one who can help you is yourself. You need to thoroughly understand this."

Bai Lingmiao couldn't argue with Twin Soul and didn't want to say anything. She turned around, choking back tears.

Twin Soul's hand left Li Sui's ear, "Don't revolve your life around Li Huowang all the time. Our lives are more important than his. Think about how to save your own life. You're almost blind."

Choking, Bai Lingmiao held her hands to her chest and walked aimlessly towards the Bai family mansion. "All I want is to spend my life with the one I love. Is that wrong?"
