Chapter 707: Chapter 707 Cultivating Special Talents

Cheng Lingdang didn’t pay attention to what Shi Yaoguang said next.

Because when she heard Cheng Lingdang mentioning the cultivator, her memories started flashing rapidly.

The memories that Heavenly Dao deliberately disturbed were gradually returning to normal.

After apologizing, Cheng Lingdang noticed Shi Yaoguang’s lack of response and immediately panicked.

Could it be that Master despises her for being too useless and doesn’t want to bother with her anymore?

This can’t happen.

Cheng Lingdang immediately looked at Shi Yaoguang while sobbing pitifully, "Master, I really didn’t do it on purpose, I just accidentally forgot, and this Cheng Linye... I don’t know what happened, he just suddenly overthrew our Cheng Family from within..."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Linye felt a bit of smugness in his heart.

He knew that his schemes were usually imperceptible to most.

He had never expected.

The next second, Shi Yaoguang proved him wrong.

"Don’t blame yourself," she said to Cheng Lingdang.

Cheng Lingdang’s self-reproach didn’t really make sense.

Indeed, the situation wasn’t her fault.

The outcome would have been the same with anyone else.

"Cheng Linye drugged the old master and the others," Shi Yaoguang stated.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Cheng Linye with eyes full of rage as if they wanted to tear him apart.

Cheng Linye was completely incredulous: "You, how could you possibly know that?"

"Aren’t you curious why the old master suddenly became sober?" Shi Yaoguang retorted.

Hearing her words, Cheng Linye recalled carefully and then, with his eyes wide open, stared at Shi Yaoguang, "It was you! You tampered with it!"

"What tampering could I possibly do?" Shi Yaoguang’s smile contained a trace of chill.

Cheng Linye certainly didn’t believe her words of being innocent, and his eyes filled with hatred: "You sabotaged my plans!"

If it were just his identity being revealed, Cheng Linye wouldn’t have found it so hard to accept.

But knowing that his plan to confuse the old master had been foiled by her, he finally couldn’t hold back.

Shi Yaoguang appeared indifferent, "Does it make a difference?"

Cheng Linye: "..."

Alright, indeed there was no difference.

He just felt indignant, that’s all.

Cheng Lingdang, hearing Cheng Linye’s words, felt something was off.

"If Cheng Linye intended to infiltrate the Cheng Family, he should have targeted everyone. Why are my mom, dad, and I unaffected?"

In the Cheng Family, everyone was convinced of Cheng Linye’s identity, except for Cheng Xingjian, Xiao Mingyue, and Cheng Lingdang.

If according to his plan, this obviously didn’t make sense.

After Cheng Linye arrived at the Cheng Family, his first target was to brainwash Cheng Xingjian and his wife.

Regarding this, Cheng Xingjian admitted...

He tried hard.

But it was ineffective.

He understood such simple principles, of course.

However, the drug he used on Cheng Xingjian did not work.

He had thought it was Cheng Xingjian’s military willpower at play.

Thinking that creating a disturbance with Xiao Mingyue, his wife, would have the same effect.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mingyue was not affected at all either.

Later, he attempted to drug Cheng Lingdang.

Cheng Lingdang was not only immune but also almost discovered him.

Or rather, it was because Cheng Lingdang’s hostility towards him was too obvious, and he didn’t dare to get closer to her.

Realizing that he couldn’t deal with Cheng Xingjian’s family, he had no choice but to settle for the Cheng Family’s old master and other family members.

The old master wasn’t biased towards males over females; if it wasn’t for the drug, he wouldn’t favor an illegitimate son over his own granddaughter.

If not for this, Cheng Lingdang would not have been the adored little princess of the entire Cheng Family.

Now aware of the truth, Cheng Lingdang naturally did not blame the old master or the other uncles in the family.

They were all innocent.

All blame lay with Cheng Linye, and who knows if the drug he used had any side effects.

Cheng Lingdang thought of this and looked to Shi Yaoguang for help.

Shi Yaoguang said, "Indeed, the medicine can have some side effects, but with proper care, there won’t be any impact after half a year."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Linye, however, was even more incredulous.

"Who exactly are you?"

He knew she was aware that he had drugged the Cheng Family’s people and also knew how to treat them.

Clearly, her identity was no simple matter!

Shi Yaoguang glanced at him sideways, "Haven’t I already said, I’m a victim?"

"Do you think I would believe that?"

Cheng Linye retorted.

Shi Yaoguang rolled her eyes, "Whether you believe it or not, what does it have to do with me?"

After saying this, she turned to Quan Jinbei, "Third Master, contact the relevant departments and have someone take him away."

Quan Jinbei nodded and made a phone call. It was only then that he noticed Shi Yaoguang’s reference to him.

Shi Yaoguang usually either called him by his name or addressed him as "husband."

This was the first time she called him "Third Master."

However, it gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling.

Could it be...

Just as Quan Jinbei wondered whether Shi Yaoguang had remembered something from the past, he heard her say, "The people who were hypnotized before weren’t just you."

Quan Jinbei passed her a puzzled look but did not ask in front of the Cheng family.

After Shi Yaoguang settled the Cheng family’s follow-up matters and had a conversation with Cheng Lingdang, she prepared to leave.

On the way, Shi Yaoguang discussed the matter with Quan Jinbei.

"When Lingdang apologized to me just now..." Shi Yaoguang shared the process of her memory restoration with Quan Jinbei.

Quan Jinbei was stunned, "Are you sure we’ll continue cultivation? Don’t tell me the Cheng family’s bastard messed with your head?"

Shi Yaoguang raised an eyebrow and snapped her fingers. A pale blue flame flickered at the tip.

Quan Jinbei: "..."

I’m the clown myself.

Seeing his life-in-questioning expression, Shi Yaoguang took out the techniques she had given him earlier, "Here, these are the ones you’ve cultivated before, take another look and maybe you’ll remember something."

Quan Jinbei accepted the techniques but didn’t look immediately.

Mainly because he was worried he wouldn’t understand.

It was still important to preserve some face after all.

Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary.

After opening the techniques, he found himself in complete harmony with them; cultivating felt as simple as eating and drinking.

After the recovery of her memory, Shi Yaoguang was far from inactive.

The appearance of the Cheng family’s illegitimate child was not an isolated case.

The reason Cheng Linye’s drugging of Cheng Xingjian’s family of three didn’t work was because of Cheng Lingdang.

Cheng Lingdang was a cultivator, and both Cheng Xingjian and Xiao Mingyue had taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill as well.

Initially, Yaoguang had reservations about sharing the techniques with too many people, fearing that too many cultivators might impact the world.

But now...

Perhaps it was time to train a group of genuine cultivators.

Quan Jinbei agreed with her idea after hearing it.

The Cheng family’s incident was clearly premeditated.

If the person behind it reached their goal, who knows what turmoil might ensue.

It would be best to nip the danger in the bud, but if that was not possible, they would need to find a way to deal with it.

Training a group of special talents was undoubtedly the best method.

No sooner thought than done.

Shi Yaoguang immediately contacted the higher-ups.

Shi Yaoguang’s memory had been maliciously sealed by the Heavenly Dao, but this was not the case for most people in this world.

Therefore, Shi Yaoguang’s prior remarkable achievements were still remembered by the national leadership.

When they learned that Shi Yaoguang was preparing to help cultivate special talents, they were naturally willing, and readily agreed to send people over.
