Chapter 452
Faced with Ye Yu's reproach, Xin Lanying held her hands to her chest, looking extremely aggrieved, tears continuously falling.
This appearance was truly pitiful beyond measure.
Seeing this, Xin Wan'en slightly shook her head at Ye Yu.
"Let him go first. I will stay here to comfort the family members."
Ye Yu said no more. Honestly, for some reason, he particularly disliked these manipulative women.
Meanwhile, Xin Lanying watched Ye Yu's retreating back.
A flash of resentment appeared in her eyes.
It was quickly concealed, and with teary eyes, she spoke: "Sister, how can your disciple be like this? Our Xin family just fell, and he already says I'm overstepping."
"Who knows, in a few days, he might even dare to reprimand you face to face."
Xin Wan'en, with her gentle demeanor, patted Xin Lanying's hand and said: "Don't worry, he's a kind-hearted person. He's just too young and a bit brash with his words."
Seeing her attempt at stirring trouble fail, Xin Lanying said nothing more.
Her gaze turned, and her left hand, hidden in her sleeve, gently crushed a jade stone.
Soon, a Xin family member hurried over, looking anxious, and said: "Young Miss, Second Miss, you must come quickly. The family head, he is on the verge of losing his soul."
Upon hearing this, Xin Wan'en's face changed dramatically, and she rushed over immediately.
She found that Xin Zhanguan's soul body was already beginning to dissipate, and his feet had become ethereal.
This was the precursor to his soul flying away.
Xin Wan'en stared at the scene in disbelief.
Why was this happening all of a sudden?
When she visited Xin Zhanguan earlier and fed him the Soul Returning Grass, his condition had greatly improved. With a few years of rest, he would fully recover.
How could he be on the brink of losing his soul now?
Xin Wan'en became frantic and began crying.
Xin Lanying waved her hand, dismissing the other family members, then walked to the side and softly spoke: "Actually, it's not impossible to save Father, but my cultivation is too low to prolong his life. If it were you, Sister, there might still be hope."
Upon hearing this, Xin Wan'en saw a glimmer of hope.
She immediately grabbed Xin Lanying's arm and asked how she could save her father.
Xin Lanying replied that to keep a ghost alive, the best way was to inject soul power into them.
This would help solidify their soul body and heal their wounds.
Since Xin Zhanguan was a late-stage Ghost Immortal, the injuries were too severe. If they wanted to save him, they would need to inject an enormous amount of soul power.
Even for Xin Wan'en, it was likely she would damage her foundation and fall in cultivation, never advancing again.
But if they didn't save him, in at most the time it took to burn an incense stick, her father would lose his soul forever.
Time was ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) of the essence. "Sister, what will you choose?" Xin Lanying pressed. "Will you fulfill your filial duty or not?"
Thinking back to how her father pampered her when she was young, Xin Wan'en had no hesitation and chose to give all her soul power to save her father.
Moments later, after Xin Wan'en poured all her soul power into him, Xin Zhanguan's soul body did indeed solidify significantly.
There were even signs of awakening.
But at this moment, Xin Wan'en could no longer hold on and fainted.
At this point, her Tribulation Realm cultivation had already dropped to the initial stage of the God Transformation Realm.
It was clear that from the very beginning, Xin Wan'en had spared no effort in saving her father.
Xin Lanying, seeing this, revealed a smile on her face.
She waved her hand, instructing the maid to take Xin Wan'en away.
She then slowly walked to Xin Zhanguan's side, leaned down, and whispered: "Your daughter is truly devoted to you. But I never planned to let you live."
After speaking, Xin Lanying's right hand went straight through Xin Zhanguan's body, pulling out a blood-red jade stone. She smiled lightly as she walked out of the room.
Moments later, Xin Zhanguan's soul body slowly dissolved and his soul flew away forever.
The next day, a piece of news was spread by someone with ill intentions.
"Xin Wan'en, the legitimate daughter of the Xin family, exhausted her soul power to save her father, the family head Xin Zhanguan. As a result, she fell from the Tribulation Realm to the early stages of the God Transformation Realm."
"It is highly likely that she will remain at the early God Transformation Realm for the rest of her life, never able to advance again."
"And Xin Zhanguan didn't survive either, ultimately dying."
The Xin family had completely fallen! The last hope was gone.
When Ye Chuan gravely told Ye Yu this news, in order to avoid upsetting his son, he even tried to comfort him, saying: "Sometimes, this is fate. It cannot be changed."
Ye Yu's eyes gleamed with light as he seriously said: "Fate, truly, this is the will of Heaven!"
"A cultivation bottleneck, a destroyed family, and a blood feud—these two layers of buffs combined are terrifying enough."
"Now, only one thing remains!"
"Master, let me see how vast your destiny really is!"
Ye Chuan's expression turned strange. "Yu'er, are you going crazy?"
"Why are you speaking nonsense?" Find this chapter's source on MV-LEM-PYR.
But he couldn't deny, the blow was significant. If only the Xin family hadn't fallen, Ye Yu could have continued being willful forever.
But now, the Xin family was done for, Xin Wan'en's cultivation had fallen, and she would never advance again.
This meant that Ye Yu's backing was gone.
The days ahead would be hard to face.
Ye Chuan shook his head, deeply melancholy.
Two days later, Ye Yu visited his master, Xin Wan'en, at the Xin family.
Ever since the head of the Xin family, Xin Zhanguan, lost his soul, Xin Wan'en had been bedridden, mentally exhausted.
She often blamed herself, thinking that if she had tried harder, if she had pushed her cultivation to the limit, maybe her father could have survived.
Ye Yu took out two precious spirit fruits that he had kept and placed them in Xin Wan'en's hands, comforting her: "Don't think too much. You've already done your best."
"Who in all of Ugly Sun City doesn't know of your filial piety?"
"Many people even regret it for you."
"Here you are, giving up everything for your father instead of walking a smooth path."
Xin Wan'en slightly shook her head. "I have no regrets."
Ye Yu forced a smile and said nothing more.
At that moment, a servant came in with news, saying that someone from the Chu family of Xianyin City had arrived.
Ye Yu's heart skipped a beat. "Finally, they've come."
Soon, Xin Wan'en led Ye Yu to the newly arranged hall to meet with the visitors and asked the servant why she hadn't seen Xin Lanying these past few days.
The maid replied: "Second Miss left a few days ago, and no one knows where she went."
Xin Wan'en nodded slightly but didn't ask further.
Soon, two emissaries from the Chu family arrived.
Upon seeing the devastated scene of the Xin family, they showed no attempt to hide their disdain.
One of them directly threw a marriage contract on the table and said solemnly: "Miss Xin, we have come to annul the engagement on behalf of our young master!"
