Only forgetfulness

“Now this is a mess. You didn't want to tell her about this, and now that she knows, she's definitely going to be angry.” Wu Hai, enjoying the drama, continued to speak sarcastically from behind.

“It's all because of you! If you hadn't told her about this, how would she have known? If she didn't know, she wouldn't be angry with me over it. Why did you have to reveal this to her?!”

Hearing Wu Hai say this, Su Mo was furious. He stood directly in front of Wu Hai, demanding an explanation.

However, Wu Hai was even angrier than Su Mo.

He looked at Su Mo coldly and said in a chilling voice, “Do you think keeping this from her is for her own good? For the sake of one woman, are you planning to abandon the Ming Cult?!”

“Tell me, this time, out of the blue, you suddenly left the Ming Cult. Is it because you received news of that woman again?”

Facing Wu Hai’s interrogation, Su Mo fell silent. His previous aggressive Aura completely vanished without a trace.

But it was his silence that made the anger in Wu Hai’s heart escalate even faster.

He immediately stood up from his seat, walked step by step to Su Mo, grabbed Su Mo’s collar, and said directly, “I don’t care about what happens between you and her.”

“But I warn you, you are now the Cult Master of the Ming Cult. You bear not only your own destiny but also the destiny of the entire Ming Cult.”

“If this situation dares to happen again, I might not hold it against you, but let’s see if Xueqing will!”

Su Mo turned his head away. After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice, “I just heard news of her, so I wanted to go see her.”

“I just wanted to ask her why she left without saying goodbye back then? Why didn't she return to the Ming Cult all these years? Why did she even neglect her own daughter?”

Wu Hai was clearly also aware of the love-hate relationship between Su Mo and that woman.

After hearing Su Mo say this, Wu Hai asked coldly, “So, did you get the answer you wanted?”

“She’s already dead. What I saw was her tomb. It turns out she hadn’t returned all these years because she was already gone.”

“The tomb keeper she left there gave me a letter she wrote before her death, saying that if I found that place, the tomb keeper should give me that letter.”

“But I only found it after so many years. She and I missed each other for so many years. I failed her, Wu Hai, I failed her!”

Looking at Su Mo, who was remorsefully weeping in front of him, Wu Hai, who couldn’t quite understand his feelings, said directly, “It’s not just her that you’ve failed! So, is this why your Heart Demon suddenly worsened?”

Su Mo nodded silently.

“Then do you know how to resolve a Heart Demon?” Wu Hai asked.

Su Mo shook his head.

The same problem also occurred between Su Xueqing and Xiao Feng. Su Xueqing suddenly went to find Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng was still a bit surprised, and a little worried in his heart, thinking, could it be about their separation, and Su Xueqing regretted it again?

But Su Xueqing came to him only to ask him about Su Mo’s Heart Demon.

“Since you know about the existence of a Heart Demon, do you have any way to eliminate it?” Su Xueqing asked eagerly as soon as she saw Xiao Feng.

“It can only rely on the Cult Master himself, and there is only one way to eliminate a Heart Demon, and that is to forget emotions.”

Xiao Feng immediately asked the System about this matter after learning about it from the System.

The System’s answer to Xiao Feng was also the same: only by forgetting emotions can a Heart Demon be dispelled.

If the Heart Demon arose from other reasons, it would be fine, but Su Mo’s Heart Demon arose from his guilt and feelings for a woman, born out of endless regret.

“So, in the Cult Master’s situation, unless he forgets emotions, there is no way to dispel the Heart Demon that has arisen. Moreover, a Heart Demon born from emotions has the greatest impact on the Cult Master’s current state and will directly affect his Dao Heart.”

After listening to Xiao Feng’s words, Su Xueqing’s steps faltered slightly, and she spoke again, “Even you have no solution? Forgetting emotions sounds easy, but if Father could truly forget emotions, he wouldn’t have developed a Heart Demon in the first place!”

Not to mention that the person Su Mo needs to forget is Su Xueqing’s mother.

This was simply a dead end.

“There’s no other way. You should try to comfort the Cult Master well.” Xiao Feng said regretfully.

Su Xueqing remained silent for a long time, not saying anything more. After a simple farewell, she left Xiao Feng’s courtyard.

As she was about to step out of the courtyard gate, Xiao Feng suddenly called out to Su Xueqing from behind.

Xiao Feng told Su Xueqing that among the Medicinal Pills he had given her before, there were some that could help her Breakthrough her cultivation.

“Now those righteous sects are eyeing us covetously, and you know the Cult Master’s current situation; he could explode at any moment. Only by improving your own strength will it be best for the current Ming Cult.” Xiao Feng said sincerely from behind.

Su Xueqing just stood there for a while, didn’t respond to Xiao Feng, and then quickly disappeared from the courtyard gate.

Xiao Feng sighed softly. It seemed that the previous events still affected Su Xueqing’s attitude towards him, but thinking about it, it made sense; after such an incident, the two of them definitely couldn’t be friends anymore.

And at this moment, Xiao Feng received a sound transmission from Xuan Yuan Shu Mou.

“I have already taken over the Tianyi Sect again. Those guys who harbored ill intentions have also been dealt with. The Old Ancestor is seriously injured and is currently in seclusion to recover. I will completely take control of the Tianyi Sect before the Old Ancestor’s seclusion.”

This was the deal Xiao Feng made with Xuan Yuan Shu Mou.

Now that Xuan Yuan Shu Mou had fulfilled his part, Xiao Feng immediately asked the System to help Xuan Yuan Shu Mou devour a portion of the Demon Emperor’s separated soul.

“Because of your previous injuries, your Realm is a bit unstable. I have already unsealed a part of the Seal in your Sea of Consciousness. You cannot devour the Demon Emperor’s separated soul in its full state, but you should be able to devour a small amount, right?”

Xuan Yuan Shu Mou was very excited to hear Xiao Feng’s returned sound transmission.

It turned out that Xiao Feng really wasn’t lying to him; it turned out he could really help him completely devour the Demon Emperor.

Xuan Yuan Shu Mou felt the unfamiliar Aura appearing in his consciousness, quickly enveloped it, and then little by little transformed its power into his own power.

Xuan Yuan Shu Mou felt that the occasional feeling of powerlessness that appeared after regaining his body had indeed alleviated a lot.

“I will definitely do what I promised you. Once my strength improves, it will be even simpler for me to control the Tianyi Sect. Some old fogeys should die sooner rather than later.”

It is likely that the Xuanyuan Old Ancestor never imagined that his complete disregard for Xuan Yuan Shu Mou’s actions would lead Xuan Yuan Shu Mou to completely turn against him.
