"Of course I wasn't controlled. Not long after I fell in here, I saw Qi Yu's soul wandering." Sui You placed a hand on her hip. "Fortunately, this place is a secret realm, not a real town. Otherwise, Qi Yu's soul would have definitely been absorbed by someone else by now."
"I saw you all at the Chang'an market before, but I had other plans then, so I deliberately didn't speak to you." Sui You finished speaking and looked at Yan Hua's hand, where Si Qing sat inside the eggshell. "Speaking of which, what are you all doing? Why did you all end up on Lord Yan Hua?"
After saying that, he answered himself, "Oh, I know, you're afraid of getting lost and separated after coming in."
When he fell into this secret realm, he fell in alone, so he didn't feel anything.
"Mmm..." Three-year-old Qi Yu had been held by Si Qing for a long time and had fallen asleep at some point. Hearing their voices now, she groggily poked her head out of Si Qing's embrace, then lazily squinted her eyes, nodding her head listlessly, still drowsy.
Sui You's gaze followed the three-year-old Qi Yu and his eyes widened. "This is!?"
Si Qing was already accustomed to it.
He was about to speak when Sui You preempted him, "You've already found one soul and one spirit? Only by condensing one soul and one spirit, along with the blood of a relative, can such a little one be vaguely shaped."
Sui You said this while reaching out to stroke the three-year-old Qi Yu's head.
Three-year-old Qi Yu yawned and fell asleep again.
Just then, a crisp sound suddenly rang out, like the sound of a ceramic bowl falling to the ground.
Sui You quickly turned and returned to the wooden house.
Yan Hua followed him in silently.
Inside the wooden house.
The blind soul of Qi Yu was squatting on the ground, picking up ceramic shards.
She couldn't see and reached out to grope for them.
Sui You grasped her fingertips. "I'll do it. Leave it to me."
"Okay." Qi Yu's soul obediently sat back in her seat. Hearing Sui You squatting on the ground picking up ceramic shards, she couldn't help but feel guilty and apologized, "I'm sorry, Brother. I can't see anything, so I can't do anything."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and unconsciously touched her face, murmuring, "And I'm so ugly."
"You're not ugly, you're beautiful. But it will be even more beautiful once these scars are healed." Sui You looked at Qi Yu's soul. "Don't think too much about it. I've already cleaned up the floor."
Qi Yu's soul nodded.
Yan Hua watched from the side. Seeing Sui You stand up after speaking, he raised his hand and sent a surge of spiritual energy into Qi Yu's soul.
"This is Qi Yu's second soul." Yan Hua nourished Qi Yu's second soul with spiritual energy, causing her to involuntarily fall into a deep sleep. "Among the three souls and seven spirits, each soul holds a different amount of memory, some more, some less."
"Qi Yu's second soul doesn't hold much memory, only the particularly bad ones. So, before subduing it, it's best to fulfill her wish."
As Yan Hua spoke, he looked at Si Qing and Qi Nian. "Does Qi Yu have anything she is particularly attached to or particularly desires?"
Qi Nian was about to say no, but as the words reached her lips, she seemed to remember something and her body suddenly moved.
Si Qing also fell silent.
Sui You thought carefully. "I don't think so. When I first fell into this secret realm and met Qi Yu's second soul, Qi Yu's second soul was like this. Although she felt I looked familiar, it was probably because her memory was incomplete, so she didn't recognize me. She just kept lamenting that the scars on her face were ugly and that she was blind and shouldn't be a burden to me, so I didn't need to bother taking care of her."
"So I think what Qi Yu's second soul is attached to should be those scars and cracks."
Si Qing pursed his lips. "But I can't heal her like before. I don't have the materials on hand."
"Hmm... If what she's attached to are just these cracks, maybe I can help." Chen Xi poked his head out from Yan Hua's shoulder. "I just took a look, and it seems there's another half of the Yan Zhen Mirror inside Qi Yu's second soul. She and Si Qing each have half."
"In her memory, she just feels broken, but in reality, that event has long passed. She's trapped by her past experiences, which is why those scars appear on the surface."
"Why don't you try grinding some powder from my dragon horn and gently sprinkling it on Qi Yu's second soul? I estimate it will be done very quickly."
Chen Xi's dragon horn powder could turn everything into jade.
It had a very magical nourishing effect on the Yan Zhen Mirror contained within Qi Yu's second soul.
Everyone looked enlightened, clearly having just remembered this.
They carefully ground a bit of powder, mixed it with water, and An Nuo, with his own hands, applied it bit by bit to the scars on Qi Yu's second soul.
Those scars, which no longer existed, vanished at a visible speed.
Yan Hua stroked his chin. "The scars are resolved, but now there's another problem. What about her eyes? I don't even know why Qi Yu's second soul is blind."
Sui You didn't understand this either.
Qi Nian thought for a moment. "Could it be related to Ling Ru before?"
Everyone looked at Qi Nian together.
Qi Nian reminded them softly, "Don't you remember? After Ling Ru possessed Qi Yu back then, she went to the underworld to torment Qi Yu. I saved her later, and I gave her the name Qi Yu."
"Qi Yu's eyes were probably injured by the water of the Forgetfulness River at that time. And now, with incomplete memory, this second soul only has some painful memories, which is why she thinks her eyes are blind and she can't see."
Everyone fell silent.
Si Qing slowly clenched his fist.
He was too weak back then.
If he had been as powerful as he was now, he wouldn't have let his sister be bullied and humiliated by an external soul like Ling Ru.
"So what should we do now? If it's a shadow from memory, then ordinary treatment won't cure it." Sui You suggested, "I say, why not, while Qi Yu's second soul is unconscious, directly put her into the little Qi Yu's body?"
After all, as long as the souls were collected, the remaining memories and other minor issues could be healed by slowly guiding and clearing them with spiritual energy.
Si Qing hesitated. "Master, will this work? Will it have any impact on my sister's soul?"
"It shouldn't, but I can't guarantee it." Yan Hua stated upfront. "After all, no one has experience with this. We can only try it for now. However, you don't need to worry too much. If the soul body has any problems, it can be re-positioned. As long as we reach the underworld, we can find a way."
Si Qing nodded.
Seeing that he, An Nuo, and Shao Feng all agreed, Yan Hua then reached out, scooped up Qi Yu's second soul, and forcefully pushed it into the body of the three-year-old Qi Yu.
