Chapter 79: A Soul From Another World

A Yin was not only gentle and kind, but also beautiful and captivating.

Although Zhou Yu's action was rude and rash, she tolerated him like an elder, using her extremely gentle hands to softly comfort his back, offering silent solace.

"Lin Yu, could you... tell Auntie about your story?"

After hearing her son Tang San's experiences, A Yin asked in a soft voice.

"You... want to hear mine?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was slightly stunned, then slowly loosened his tightly embraced arms, giving the one in his embrace a sliver of breathing space.

A Yin nodded with slightly flushed cheeks, gently making an "Mm" sound.

Zhou Yu sighed, then began to speak: "I was born in Nuoding City, Fasinuo Province, in the southwest of the Tiandou Diguo. My father was an ordinary gatekeeper at the Junior Spirit Master Academy in Nuoding City. When my mother gave birth to me, she was plagued by illness and had been bedridden ever since."

"When I was six years old, during my martial soul awakening, I thought I could become my parents' support. But who would have known that my father, due to a moment of impulsiveness, got into an argument with someone and was ultimately killed by a six-year-old little boy using a Hidden Weapon..."

"Later on, I met an older sister, one of the most important people in my life. But I never expected that while she was investigating the killer of my father for me, she was killed by someone using the same Hidden Weapon..."

Hearing this, the gentle and kind A Yin was already filled with tears, unable to hold them back.

Her voice choked as she asked: "Child! At that time... you were only six years old!"

Being a mother herself, A Yin could empathize; bearing such heavy suffering at such a young age was truly heartbreaking.

But she never expected that the same six-year-old little boy would turn out to be a cold-blooded, ruthless murderer.

She asked with some confusion: "That murderer, being so young, how could he possibly create such a killing weapon?"

Zhou Yu let out a cold smile and said: "Auntie! Although he appeared to be only six on the surface, his inner soul was actually nearly thirty years old."

Upon hearing this, A Yin was immediately dumbfounded, her face full of disbelief as she exclaimed: "He... could he not belong to this world?"

"Mm!"

Zhou Yu nodded firmly, then continued: "In his past life, he was born into a sect called the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect specialized in mechanisms, poisons, and Hidden Weapons; it was a martial arts family dominating Shu, wandering the Jianghu for hundreds of years. He was originally just an outer disciple of the Tang Sect, but because he secretly learned the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, an inner sect supreme art, he was not tolerated by the sect and ultimately chose to jump off a cliff, thereby coming to this world..."

"Oh my! Such a thing actually exists..."

Although A Yin was a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, having experienced over a hundred thousand years of long time.

She never expected that a soul from another world could miraculously traverse into this world.

She, who was as intelligent as ice, instantly understood everything.

With a shocked expression, she asked: "Lin Yu! You know his soul comes from another world! Could it be..."

To this, Zhou Yu faced her openly, looking directly into her eyes, and answered with a firm tone: "That's right! My soul... also comes from a different world!"

"..."

At this moment, a deep fear inexplicably surged in A Yin's heart.

She was not afraid because of Zhou Yu's origins, but rather... why he wanted to tell her this secret! After a moment, A Yin seemed to think of something.

Her voice trembling, she asked cautiously: "Lin... Lin Yu! What is the name of that little boy who killed your parents and teacher?"

Zhou Yu's face suddenly changed, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, and he coldly spoke two words: "Tang San!"

——?!

Although A Yin had already had a premonition deep inside, when Zhou Yu clearly spoke that name, her heart felt as if it had been suddenly pierced by a sharp blade, causing unbearable pain.

She took a deep breath, trying to forcibly suppress the surging emotions in her heart, then slowly opened her mouth to ask: "So, you approached Xiao San... to seek revenge on him?"

"That's right!" Zhou Yu's answer had not a shred of hesitation.

Hearing this affirmative reply, A Yin's body involuntarily stumbled backward a few steps.

She murmured in self-reproach: "It was me... it was the fault of me and Hao! Not teaching a child is a mother's fault; not raising a child is a father's fault! We gave birth to him, but did not stay by his side to educate him properly..."

"You indeed should not have given birth to him! But I also said, his soul, his mind, is already that of a person in his forties!"

At this moment, Zhou Yu instead softly comforted her.

A Yin raised her hand to gently wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and said calmly: "I know, since you let me know these secrets, you have no intention of letting me go! But as a mother, I am willing to atone for Xiao San's sins! As long as you spare him, I am willing to pay any price! Is that okay?"

"Hmph!"

Zhou Yu sneered coldly and retorted: "Auntie, is it worth it for someone like Tang San?"

"It is worth it! This is what I owe him!"

A Yin answered without a shred of hesitation.

"Do you not regret it?"

"I do not regret it!"

On the other side, Tang Hao and Tang San finally arrived at the Clear Sky Sect.

"Yuehua, exactly why? Why do you strongly oppose Xiao San returning to his ancestral home?"

On a certain mountain peak, Tang Hao faced his younger sister Tang Yuehua, his tone full of incomprehension and confusion.

"Second Brother! Do not ask anymore! These years, you have suffered enough."

"Now that she has hope of resurrection, just stay by her side peacefully and live a good life."

Tang Yuehua's eyes were red, but she found it truly difficult to speak.

Such a matter was not only a heavy burden on her reputation as a woman.

She was even more worried whether her Second Brother could bear this cruel truth.

Tang Hao sighed heavily and said earnestly: "Yuehua, you should know that the Spirit Hall has already made its move! Of the Three Great Sects, only our Clear Sky Sect remains now! Not only does Xiao San hope to receive the sect's protection and assistance, but our Clear Sky Sect also urgently needs outstanding successors like Xiao San to restore our family's glory. Do you understand?"

"Of course I understand this! But Second Brother, do you... truly understand this son of yours and A Yin?"

Tang Yuehua's heart was filled with mixed emotions, indescribable.

However, her deep affection and loyalty towards this Second Brother had not faded in the slightest.

"Yuehua, I believe in Xiao San; he is a sensible child!"

Tang Hao gently embraced his sister and assured her.

Tang Yuehua, having no other recourse, could only nod and agree to her brother, ceasing her efforts to stop Tang San from returning to his ancestral clan.

Finally, she instructed: "Second Brother, no matter what happens in the future, you must protect yourself and take care of A Yin!"

Tang Hao nodded slightly, tightly embracing this understanding younger sister.
