“It’s Hu Bawan! This is all Hu Bawan’s doing!” Wei Shenjing dared not hide anything.
“Which Hu Bawan?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
Lin Chaoying explained. “He was the one at the auction whom I fought with over the White Jade Ganoderma. The Faction Leader of Wrath Wave Faction, Hu Bawan!
Chen Xiaobei remembered him.
The auction had taken place during Chinese New Year. Hu Bawan had declared that he would kill whoever who dared take the White Jade Ganoderma from him! In the end, Lin Chaoying bought the Ganoderma and gifted it to Chen Xiaobei!
All these months, Hu Bawan did nothing and then all of a sudden, he attacked Lin Chaoyin in a bid to take her life!
This man was like a poisonous snake sneaking quietly in its hole. When it came out of hiding, it would put lives at risk!
“Why is Lin Xiang like this?” Chen Xiaobei questioned. “Based on what I know, Hu Bawan is just a common cultivator! How is it that he was able to control Lin Xiang’s consciousness?”
“He’s using a spiritual Item!” Wei Shenjing stammered. “Hu Bawan told me that the Spiritual Item’s Special Ability is to brainwash somebody permanently. The victim will never be able to recover his or her consciousness ever again.”
“How could this be! Why must it be permanent? You sick b.i.t.c.h! Give me back my sister!”
Lin Nan exploded. He stormed towards Wei Shenjiing and began to pummel her uncontrollably.
Chen Xiaobei and Lin Chaoyin did nothing to stop him. Wei Shenjing was too afraid to fight back or employ her True Qi.
As Lin Nan continued to hit her, the bruises on her face darkened and swelled. But Lin Nan was not going to stop.
Permanently brainwashed? Never to recover her consciousness!
How was that any different to being dead?
All those years, for over ten years, Lin Nan had lived a carefree, nitwitted life. It was Chen Xiaobei who had pulled him out of a gambling pit and taught him to treasure his sister.
But right at this very moment, Lin Nan came to a realization like never before, that his sister was the most important person in his life!
Losing his sister was like the end of the world to him! The apocalypse!
“Alright! Enough! Lin Nan, stop it! I know a way to save your sister!” Chen Xiaobei said.
“What? Is that true? Brother-in-law, do you really know a way? If you heal my sister, I’m willing to be a slave for you!”
“What nonsense! We are a family! This is my duty!” Chen Xiaobei patted Lin Nan on the shoulder.
“That’s… That’s impossible,” Wei Shenjing said disbelievingly. “Hu Bawan said so himself that no one, not even himself can rectify this type of brainwas.h.i.+ng! That’s because there’s mental damage inflicted deep in s.h.i.+mei Lin’s subconscious. A Spirit Curse has been planted in her mind like the way a plant’s roots attaches itself to the soil. It’s already fixed in place. There’s no way to pull it out.”
Smack!
Lin Chaoyin hit Wei Shenjing so hard across the face, she fell backwards onto the ground, throwing up blood.
“You traitor! You knew that the consequences were grievous yet you still chose to conspire with an outsider! Look at what you’ve done to s.h.i.+mei Lin! There’s no way that you can redeem yourself anymore!”
Lin Chaoyin was so outraged, she completely lost control, raising her hand again.
“Sifu, have mercy! I was also cheated! Hu Bawan said he was just going to destroy s.h.i.+mei Lin’s cultivation.” Wei Shenjing cried. “I was afraid that when s.h.i.+mei Lin’s cultivation had increased, she would retaliate for what I did to her in Paradise Island. I was so consumed by fear that I agreed to bring Hu Bawan into Tidal Cave. It was not until last night, when he began to brainwash her that I realized something was wrong. When I pressed him for answers, only did he reveal the truth to me. I really didn’t know that s.h.i.+mei Lin was going to be like this. I didn’t know that you were going to be hurt either. Please forgive me! I beg you!”
Tears rained down Wei Shenjing’s eyes. She was telling the truth.
“So what, even if I believe you? The crime has been committed! s.h.i.+mei Lin has become like this! Whether or not you should be forgiven will depend on Mr. Chen! Huh?” Lin Chaoyin was suddenly distracted. “Mr. Chen, what are you doing?”
As they were talking, Chen Xiabei took out a bowl of green, glowing liquid. He dipped his finger into it and brought it to the corner of Lin Xiang’s mouth.
“Brother-in-law, what is this?” Lin Nan asked.
“This is some sort magical medicine that can brainwash someone effectively!” Chen Xiaobei smiled. “When it comes to brainwas.h.i.+ng! I’m a master at it! There’s no one else in this world that can get better than me!”
It was the Mengpo Soup that Chen Xiaobei received on the night of Duanwu Festival!
“What?” All three pairs of eyes stared at him.
“Brother-in-law! Are you kidding? My sister has already been brainwashed. If you brainwash her again then there would nothing left inside her mind. Then she wouldn’t even recognize us anymore!”
Lin Nan’s voice was thick with worry.
“Silly boy! There’s no need to worry!” Chen Xiaobei smiled as he explained, “You sister’s body is still working normally. Only her subconscious mind was affected by the Spiritual Item!”
“Based on what Wei Shenjing said, Hu Bawan used the Spiritual Item yesterday to plant a Spirit Curse in her mind! So, if I wipe out yesterday’s memory, the Spirit Curse will disappear completely!”
Lin Nan understood Chen Xiaobei’s explanation but remained sceptical. “Brother-in-law! What kind of miracle medicine is this? Could it really erase a particular memory at the right time?”
“Of course! Why else would it be called a magical medicine?”
Chen Xaiobei smiled as he placed the finger that was wet with the Meng Po Soup into Lin Xiang’s mouth.
He had used Mengpo Soup many times before, so his control over it was pretty good.
A few drops could make a person forget everything that had happened a day before! But a bowl could cause a person to forget everything that had ever happened in their life!
“No way. How could such a miraculous item exist on this earth?”
Lin Chaoyin too was cynical.
Wei Shenjing, on the other hand, looked perplexed. “Hu Bawan said no one, no matter what methods they use, could lift this Spirit Curse.”
“Haaarrrghh.”
Lin Xiang suddenly let out a lazy yawn as if she had just woken up from sleep, and even stretched her back.
“Huh? Xiaobei, is that really you? Am I dreaming?” Lin Xiang rubbed her eyes, and looked happily at the man before her.
“Of course, it’s not a dream!” Chen Xiaobei smiled.
“Didn’t you say that you were coming tomorrow?” Lin Xiang asked. “Oh, I know! You came earlier to give me a surprise!”
