The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 582 - Chapter 582 Chapter 582 Saint

Chapter 582: Chapter 582 Saint Chapter 582: Chapter 582 Saint Over the years, all these matters had been pressing heavily on Baili Hengyuan’s heart. However, as the Clan Leader of the Baili Family and the head of the household, he absolutely could not show the slightest bit of exhaustion or weakness in front of outsiders. Otherwise, those enemies lurking in the shadows would swarm forward.

Today, after expressing all the matters in one go, he felt as though a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

After listening to Baili Hengyuan’s narrative, Zhong Niangyao blinked her eyes before speaking, “From the sounds of it, you have a very good impression of Yi Huai! What kind of person is he?”

“Him? He’s a very good person.”

When talking about Yi Huai, Baili Hengyuan’s face showed both satisfaction and regret, “He has a great talent for divination and has already taken over many affairs of the Yi Family. His personality is excellent too; he’s a very gentle person. The incident from those years, it was our Baili Family and your mother who wronged him. Yet, he didn’t hold a grudge against us. On the contrary, over these years, he has also been trying to find a way to cure your mother. It’s also because of his mediation that our relationship with the Yi Family has thawed significantly.”

Such a great man, unable to become his son-in-law, he still felt very regretful.

After listening to Baili Hengyuan’s narrative, Zhong Niangyao’s complexion turned a bit dark and unclear, “That does sound like he’s a saint.”

“But hasn’t he married up until now?”

A moment ago, Baili Hengyuan said that Yi Huai was still trying to find a way to wake Baili Lele, which meant he hadn’t let go of Baili Lele yet.

“No, he is already married,” Baili Hengyuan shook his head, “He didn’t wish to marry, but he couldn’t defy his parents and in the end, he had to compromise.”

“Nevertheless, over these years, he still frequently visits Le Yao. Sigh, it really is a pity.”

Zhong Niangyao laughed but said nothing more, though in her heart she criticized.

Indeed, people’s opinions differ. Just as it is now, Baili Hengyuan thinks of Yi Huai as a rare good man, while in her heart, she just wants to curse him as a scumbag.

Suddenly recalling something, Baili Hengyuan looked at Zhong Niangyao and then spoke, “Nianyao, how did you come here as a member of the special department?”

Before, when he suddenly saw Zhong Niangyao’s face, which resembled his deceased wife so much, he was emotionally charged and only felt joy. And then he came here and poured out all the events of the past.

Now that he had calmed down, he finally realized there was something amiss.

“Why not?” Zhong Niangyao answered with a smile, “Does my status as a person from the special department conflict with my visit to the Baili Family?”

“You–” Baili Hengyuan hesitated, “Has your one soul and one spirit already returned?”

If she were missing one soul and one spirit, Zhong Niangyao wouldn’t be as she is now. Lacking one soul and one spirit might not affect daily life but would have certain deficiencies in other aspects. At the very least, it was definitely impossible to study witchcraft or cultivate, and even generating any superpower was out of the question.

However, now that Zhong Niangyao was able to enter the special department, it meant she must possess an exceptional quality. Without that one soul and one spirit, she could never have achieved this.

“That’s right,” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “By a fortuitous coincidence, the one soul and one spirit have returned.”

“That’s good, that’s very good.”

After receiving Zhong Niangyao’s confirmation, Baili Hengyuan breathed a sigh of relief, his joy evident on his face, “It’s such a relief to see you recover. If only your mother could also–”

“Sigh, let’s not talk about it. Everything will get better.”

Zhong Niangyao looked at Baili Hengyuan and then spoke, “Grandfather, is my mother like this really because of a curse?”

“Yes,” Baili Hengyuan nodded, “Although the base of the Yi Family is Divination Skill, being a large family that had produced a State Preceptor, they have a deep foundation. Thus, they have access to Curse Technique. It is just that such Magic has been explicitly forbidden long ago.”

“That person really was desperate, actually using their own life as the price to cast the curse. As a result, even though Yi Huai is willing to help remove the curse, he is helpless.”

“Is that so?” Zhong Niangyao’s eyes shimmered with curiosity, a playful smile on her face, “Now I’m really curious, is the Curse Technique truly that powerful?”

She knew the Curse Technique. In her previous life, her Master had taught her.

However, Master had taught her the Curse Technique, not to let her curse others, but to better learn the Curse Removal Technique.

It was just that in Baili Le Yao’s case, she didn’t seem to feel the power of a curse.

“This is the Yi Family’s secret art; you would know how powerful it is,” Baili Hengyuan helplessly shook his head, “Who could have foreseen back then that matters would escalate to such an extent?”

Zhong Niangyao nodded and then smiled, “If it is truly a Curse Technique, then it’s easy to deal with; we just need to remove the curse.”

“Nianyao, you know how to remove curses?”

Baili Hengyuan immediately understood the implication, his tone filled with surprise, “If it’s true, then there might really be hope for your mother this time.”

“I know a bit,” Zhong Niangyao nodded, continuing, “However, to remove the curse, we must first clarify the situation. At least, we need to confirm whether it is truly a curse.”

“It’s definitely a curse,” Baili Hengyuan said with conviction, “It’s a pity our Baili Family hasn’t researched much in that area.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded, “I understand.”

“However, removing the curse can’t be done in a short time. So, I hope to first conduct a detailed physical examination of my mother and go from there. As for other matters, we can discuss them later.”

Baili Hengyuan did not object.

It was getting late, and Zhong Niangyao had no intention of resolving all the matters today.

So, after bidding farewell to Baili Hengyuan, she took Lu Yichen back to their guest room.

“How much do you believe of what Baili Hengyuan said?” Lu Yichen asked curiously.

“I believe it all,” Zhong Niangyao smiled and shook her head, “He has no reason to deceive us. However–”

“These words, to some extent, carry his own subjective opinion, just like his evaluation of Yi Huai. Generally speaking, it should be about right.”
