Chapter 206: 138: Qin Shao regrets, confesses! Kill Xuesha, consume!_2

The elder from the Dragon Temple said, "Right in front of you."

Upon hearing these words, Gui Qinshao could hardly believe what she was hearing as she looked at him.

The old man before her was one of the highest spiritual grandmasters of the Dragon Temple, holding an unparalleled status, nearly a deity walking upon this world. Even the King, Your Majesty, would visit him every year.

Yet the weak and evil person he mentioned... was himself.

He, so shamelessly weak, how could he become such a... great person?

After a long while, Gui Qinshao finally murmured, "Then... how did you get past these unbearable truths?"

The elder thought for a moment and replied, "I forgot. I just got past them without realizing it."

Gui Qinshao said, "There must be some way."

The elder replied, "Probably by admitting my own evil and weakness, admitting that I am not as powerful, not as noble."

"Ah, just like that!" Gui Qinshao said, "I thought you would completely overcome the evil thoughts and weakness of the past. Like there was some sort of lethal crisis that almost cost you your life to prove you were brave and noble."

"Nothing," the elder said. "Nothing happened, it just passed! Although I also kept telling myself over and over that I had to face the weaknesses of my humanity and overcome it to regain my pride. However, my life was too mundane, I never encountered the opportunity to overcome these human weaknesses, and time just hurried by."

The elder before her was one of the greatest individuals in this world, yet he spoke of his life as mundane.

Suddenly, Gui Qinshao truly felt his profound wisdom and expansive magnanimity.

Gui Qinshao hesitated for a moment and said, "I understand what you’re saying, but you can let time pass, and I cannot, my youthful years are but a few. And these memories have been tormenting me, making me lose my confidence, my pride."

The elder asked, "Do you care a lot about your pride?"

Gui Qinshao nodded and said, "I... I am naturally proud, like a peacock, better to kill me than not let me spread my tail. But those painful memories have made it so that I cannot hold my head up high and flaunt myself. Every time I try to proudly unfold, those truths always tell me, you are just a woman who fears death, you are just an unfaithful wretch. Then my foundation and confidence are thoroughly dispelled. A peacock that cannot take pride cannot fan its feathers, cannot release its beauty."

The elder was suddenly at a loss for words.

Gui Qinshao said, "Master, am I shallow, am I vain?"

"Yes," the elder said. "But this is human nature, the real human nature. You can avoid facing it, but you cannot deny its existence."

Then, silence was restored in the hall.

The elder asked again, "Lady, you have understood my words, are you sure you still want to erase this memory?"

Gui Qinshao closed her eyes and contemplated, trying to relive that painful memory one more time.

Instantly, that pain attacked her boundlessly again, destroying all of her pride, all of her confidence.

She quickly opened her eyes and emphatically nodded, "Yes, I want to cleanse this memory, it must be cleansed."

The Spirit Sanctum elder said, "Then open your eyes, and relive this memory in your mind, I will use mental skill to read it, and find its exact storage location, and then completely erase it."

Thus, Gui Qinshao had to relive that painfully unforgettable scene once more.

Herself and Gui Qinzhong leading the navy to attack Chaos Stone Island, only to have their efforts go to waste and to be captured instead.

Suo Lun torturing her, destroying her purity with intolerable pain.

Her hunger, her weakness.

And that nearly dignity-breaking, rotten steamed bun.

Finally, the soft sigh as Suo Lun gently patted her back.

These memories were replaying in her mind like a movie.

The Spirit Sanctum Grandmaster used mental skill to read through Gui Qinshao’s eyes, finding the location of the memory within the brain.

"I’ve found the location, next I will use a strong spiritual power to thoroughly cleanse all memory signals in this area of the brain," said the elder from the temple.

Gui Qinshao nodded vigorously.

The elder began to gather a strong spiritual power, his pupils contracting rapidly, almost condensing to a single point.

With a fierce release, the powerful spirit could shoot through her eyes into Gui Qinshao’s brain area, completing the cleansing of the relevant memory data.

"I’ll start the countdown, once I begin, this memory will be lost forever, irretrievable," the elder said.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Just at that moment, Gui Qinshao suddenly said, "Wait!"

The elder asked, "Has the lady changed her mind? This is good, one can only overcome by facing one’s own human weaknesses."

Gui Qinshao replied, "No, I wanted to ask if you can only erase the later part of the memory that exposes my ugly and weak human nature. But... the memory of him destroying my purity, I want to keep. I, I don’t want to forget that."

"Cough..." The elder from the Spirit Sanctum was first taken aback and then coughed for a while.

Blushing, Gui Qinshao said, "If even that memory is erased, I won’t hate him as much, I want to retain the deep-seated hatred for him, maintain my will to seek revenge, the determination to flay him and draw out his tendons."
