"What nonsense are you talking about? He's Tang San, how could he not be my child?!"
A Yin looked at Ye Qiu in confusion, trying to glean something from his heart, but found nothing.
Ye Qiu just smiled and didn't say anything.
He couldn't be completely sure whether Tang San was A Yin's child; physically, he certainly was, but his soul indeed came from another world.
Ye Qiu believed that with just a little guidance from himself, Tang San would be like yellow mud falling into one's pants—even if it's not shit, it looks like shit! Regardless of whether he was reborn through possession, he wouldn't be able to produce evidence and would be unable to explain himself!
In the verdant green space.
A Yin was clearly getting anxious. This concerned her child, and she couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest.
She kept urging, "Ye Qiu, speak up! Why isn't Xiao San my child? He has the Blue Silver Grass spirit! Could spirits lie?! Tell me, why would you say Xiao San isn't my child?"
A Yin stared at Ye Qiu suspiciously, awaiting his answer.
Ye Qiu was silent for a long while before finally raising his eyes, looking at A Yin teasingly, and saying slowly, "It's true that Xiao San is the flesh and blood that came from you, but..."
Ye Qiu paused, then spoke slowly and earnestly.
"But his soul isn't the original one!"
"Wh- what? What do you mean his soul isn't the original one? What exactly do you mean by that?"
A Yin furrowed her beautiful brows.
What did he mean he was her flesh and blood, but his soul wasn't the original?!
"Just the literal meaning~"
Ye Qiu shrugged, his voice measured and captivating.
"Madam has seen my memories, so you should know that Xiao San is a bit different, right? Waking up early, cultivating, and some so-called hidden weapons and self-created soul skills. No matter how you look at these things, they shouldn't appear in a child who is only a few years old, right? Even if he's exceptionally gifted, it doesn't make sense."
Although A Yin had only seen a rough outline of Ye Qiu and Tang San's memories before coming to Nuoding Academy, she still knew this information.
A Yin was stunned, a strange expression appearing on her face, filled with uncertainty.
She had lived for so long, yet she had never heard of anyone, human or beast, being able to inhabit another's body and live. This kind of thing was simply unprecedented and unheard of!
That maternal love, mixed with a sense of debt, influenced her. That trace of doubt quickly melted away, and she said disbelievingly, "What does that prove? Maybe someone taught him?"
"Taught him?"
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, smiling indifferently.
Ye Qiu, who was connected heart-to-heart with A Yin, was perfectly clear whether there was doubt in her heart or not.
Ye Qiu continued to ask, "Then, having lived for so long, have you ever heard of something like hidden weapons? Or who do you think taught him? Tang Hao? But Tang San doesn't seem to want Tang Hao to know about these things, does he?"
Ye Qiu's barrage of questions left A Yin speechless. She opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute, and could only purse her red lips, glaring at Ye Qiu.
"Anyway, I will absolutely not doubt my son easily! And you shouldn't even think about sowing discord between us!"
"Sowing discord between you? How could I! I'm just telling the truth. If you don't believe it, then forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Ye Qiu spread his hands, not in a hurry. Connected heart-to-heart, he understood that A Yin wasn't as calm as she appeared on the surface; she was just deceiving herself a little.
"Alright, come over and cultivate."
Ye Qiu stopped talking about the matter. Cultivating together with A Yin was already a disadvantage, so it was better to cherish the time spent cultivating. Schemes and tricks were ultimately inferior; strength was universal. If he were strong enough, he could pull A Yin up in front of Tang Hao and even shove her down his pants if he wanted to, and what could Tang Hao do? He could only watch on his knees. This was a world where strength was respected, but he was still weak now and needed enough time to lie low.
As his voice fell, the ground beneath Ye Qiu, who was originally sitting cross-legged, suddenly bulged, and a soft Simmons mattress appeared.
This green space could be freely changed according to their control.
"Ye Qiu, what are you doing?"
Looking at the bed that suddenly appeared, a blush immediately appeared on A Yin's face. This bed was the stage from the large scene in Ye Qiu's imagination last time, where she was manipulated by him, performing the Eighteen Forms of A Wei.
A Yin hugged herself and backed away, threatening, "If you dare to touch me, I won't let you go, and Hao will kill you!"
Seeing A Yin's panicked look, Ye Qiu spread his hands. "Please, I just called you over to cultivate. Besides, if I really wanted to do something to you, could you resist? Even if you scream, no one can hear you!"
As Ye Qiu spoke, he released his unilateral concealment from A Yin.
Sometimes, letting others see too clearly makes it easy to lose the initiative. And to build a good relationship, sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
Looking at Ye Qiu, A Yin could now see everything about him. He was so clear, his heart as still as water. His thoughts and ideas had no place for her at all.
The panic on A Yin's face eased slightly.
She also understood that she was now like fish on a chopping block. If Ye Qiu really wanted to do something to her, she couldn't resist. She could only let him lift her legs and manipulate her as he pleased.
Knowing this, A Yin still didn't walk to the bed. After biting her lip, she pleaded, "Please, let me see my child's past! Otherwise, I won't be able to cultivate..."
Seeing A Yin lower her stance and with doubt in her heart, Ye Qiu nodded and agreed, "Alright, no problem."
All of this was within Ye Qiu's expectations. With his reminder, when A Yin looked at Tang San again, she probably wouldn't be able to help but carefully scrutinize Tang San's actions.
This time, Ye Qiu didn't conceal any of his memories, even sharing the starting point defaulted by the spirit, the memories before the spirit awakening.
From the first time Ye Qiu met Tang San.
Those scenes played out in A Yin's mind like a slideshow. She finally understood why Tang Hao's appearance had changed so much. It turned out it was because of the death of his wife and father after that great battle, among other things. These events made him exceptionally decadent, and he drank heavily all day.
When A Yin discovered that Tang Hao actually ignored his own child, A Yin couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
At the same time, some of Ye Qiu's conjectures were mixed in. Why would Tang Hao ignore him? Why would he turn a deaf ear?
Seeing Tang San awaken his spirit, her heart felt a little relieved, but when she saw Tang San give the sleeve arrows to Ye Qiu and say that it was a secret belonging only to him, and the various so-called self-created soul skills Tang San used when sparring with Ye Qiu, A Yin's heart was filled with confusion and suspicion again. She also saw the little rabbit by Ye Qiu's side.
She saw the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the intimacy between Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan, and her complexion couldn't help but turn rosy.
