Faced with Wang Ping's question, Yuan Zheng Taoist fell silent for over ten breaths before finally speaking. "Have you ever felt that disciple of yours, the one called Xuanling, is very strange?"
He posed a question that seemed completely unrelated to their current conversation.
"What's strange about him?"
Yu Lian asked instinctively.
Yuan Zheng Taoist fell silent again. It seemed he was organizing his thoughts. After a long moment, he looked at Wang Ping and said, "Have you noticed a problem? People instinctively forget anything related to that disciple of yours."
Upon hearing this, both Wang Ping and Yu Lian sank into their memories. After more than ten breaths, Yu Lian was the first to emerge from her reverie. Flicking her forked tongue, she said, "Now that you mention it, I feel like I really have forgotten something. What was it? I remember I probed his soul back then, and then... and then... I can't quite remember. But that can't be right."
