Chapter 770: Who Would Do Such a Wicked Thing
Duan Qingchen noticed Ling Chuxi’s shocked expression but did not think too much of it. Anybody would have that expression when hearing of the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridian. Either way, Duan Qingchen would never have expected Ling Chuxi to also have the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridian.
“The Nine Gloom Absolute Meridian is a spiritual meridian that is hard to see even in ten thousand years. Normally, if someone is born with it, they will die due to the excessive spiritual qi in their meridians. It is fortunate that Xiaoting was born in my Celestial Sect; the moment she was born, I realized her Nine Gloom constitution and forcefully sealed her meridians. After that, I brought her around to meet experts and famed physicians, using various spiritual herbs and pills to raise her cultivation, helping her to resolve and integrate the Nine Gloom Cold Qi in her body.
“With time, her cultivation grew stronger. I originally hoped for her to inherit the Celestial Sect, but who would’ve known that she would fall for Xiaomo’s father? I was afraid that it would affect her cultivation, and I was also worried about her safety, so I strongly opposed it. I never thought that my daughter would be so stubborn about it, and the two of them just left. In a moment of anger, I gave the order to chase her out of the sect, and since then, did not bother to ask about her. If not for the two of them asking someone to send me a letter begging me to save Xiaomo because they were in danger, I wouldn’t even have known that I had a grandson.
“Ah, this is all my fault. If I hadn’t been so stubborn, Xiaoting wouldn’t have died, and Xiaomo wouldn’t have fallen into the enemies’ wicked hands,” Duan Qingchen let out a long sigh and said miserably.
“How do you know that Xiaomo was not born like this?” Ling Chuxi asked curiously.
“Because, in his mother’s letter, it only mentioned that he was born with the Celestial Core. If he had this sickness, she would surely have mentioned it, right? Furthermore, if he was born with it, how would he have known his own name?” Duan Qingchen explained.
“That’s true.” Ling Chuxi nodded. “Who would do such a wicked thing? Did the letter mention anything about that?”
“No. I had chased Xiaoting out of the sect, but who in this realm didn’t know that she was Duan Qingchen’s most beloved daughter? Who would dare to make a move against her? Even Xiaoting and her husband did not know who the enemy was,” Duan Qingchen said with a bitter laugh.
Ling Chuxi initially thought that as long as the culprit could be found, there would be some insight towards the treatment of the sickness, but, hearing Duan Qingchen’s words, it didn’t seem possible.
“I have already given the order. The disciples of the Celestial Sect, both inner and outer, are trying their best to find the culprit.” Seeing Ling Chuxi’s disappointment, Duan Qingchen spoke up again.
Although he said so, both of them knew that since the other party had dared to make a move, they would have already considered every option and it would be difficult to find him in such a short period of time.
“Do you have an idea of who it might be?” Although wanting to find the culprit was challenging, it was still the only option Ling Chuxi had at the moment, so she had to give it a shot.
Ling Chuxi had initially felt pity towards Duan Xiaomo, but after knowing that his mother also had the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridian, she felt an inexplicable closeness to him. Seeing his bleak gaze, her heart clenched in sympathy.
“The various sects may appear calm like the seas, but the open fighting and hidden disputes over the past ten thousand years have never stopped. Powerful sects being destroyed overnight is also a common matter, just like what happened with your Golden Pill Sect. My Celestial Sect has been unofficially declared as the leading sect of the five great sects, so that position will naturally attract jealousy and trouble. Who knows how many people are envious and loathe my sect? If you think about suspects, then amongst the five great sects, besides the Golden Pill Sect, it could be anyone,” Duan Qingchen said heavily, shaking his head.
