Cultivator With Modern AI

Chapter 331 Ling Chen's Past

"Who is this woman, Tian?" Yu Suya asked in surprise because he suddenly appeared before them, and he also brought along an unconscious woman.

Unlike her daughter, Xiang Yin recognized her immediately. "Isn't she Hua Xiuling? And she's Hua Xiangyue's niece, right?"

"Yes, she is indeed Hua Xiuling." Xia Tian replied as he laid her down on the lounger, and then he explained the situation to them. "Anyway, I slightly altered her memory, so she won't remember the battle in the forest earlier. I did that to prevent Ding Yuan and the others from knowing that Ling Chen and I killed those four people."

Yu Suya and Xiang Yin fell silent after listening to his explanation, because the four people had extraordinary status in their respective families. Ding Hu was the son of Ding Yuan. Duan Ling and Gao Yun were the future patriarchs of their families. And Ling Yao was Ling Xiao's favorite granddaughter, but now she died at the hands of her cousin.

"The two of you don't need to think about them. If they end up finding out that we killed their descendants, and if they want to take revenge on us, then I will exterminate those four families." The two women didn't doubt his words, because he did have the ability to do so. Xia Tian then sighed and spoke again. "As for Ling Chen, I still don't know for sure about her real problems with her family. But I suspect that Ling Yao's father has done something to her and, Ling Yao herself is involved in the matter. That's why she hates her own family so much, including Ling Xiao."

"A few years ago, I heard about the matters within the Ling Family, Tian. As you already know, the Vermilion Imperial Sect is always looking for young talents, and they want to recruit them early on so they can be the best." Xia Tian was not surprised by Xiang Yin's explanation, because it was also the same as in the Immortal World, many powerful sects had deliberately sought out many new talents since they were young.

Xiang Yin then continued. "At that time, Ling Chen was still 15 years old, and her talent was the most outstanding among Ling Xiao's three granddaughters. But Ling Xiao loved Ling Yao more, because Ling Chen had always been quiet and aloof. However, Ling Yao had always been jealous of Ling Chen's talent; and no matter how hard she tried, she could never surpass her."

"So Ling Yao did something to Ling Chen out of jealousy?" Xia Tian frowned at that.

"Yes." Xiang Yin nodded to him. "From the story I heard, Ling Yao ordered a servant to put sleeping pills into Ling Chen's food, and she intended to kill her in the forest because she was afraid that her talent would continue to overshadow her."

"Then?" Xia Tian frowned even more, as he hated it the most when family members tried to harm each other.

Xiang Yin sighed heavily, before she continued her story. "However, their actions were discovered by Ling Xin, and he stopped them. After that, he took Ling Chen back to her room, but he ended up raping her instead."

Xia Tian sighed and shook his head. "Then what did Ling Xiao do to his son?"

"He didn't do anything to him, because Ling Xin is his best son, and he will be the next patriarch." Xiang Yin replied by shaking her head. "After that incident, a news gossip about Ling Chen spread out of nowhere, and it said that she seduced her uncle to sleep with her. Since then, Ling Xiao has exiled Ling Chen and her mother to a village in the forest. As time passed, her mother could not stand the pressure and humiliation of people on them, and her health continued to decline until she died."

"Ling Xiao is such an idiot! If I were him, I would kill Ling Xin with my own hands." Xia Tian cursed furiously. "Anyway, please take care of Xiuling, and I will return to the forest again."

After Xia Tian disappeared, Yu Suya asked her mother. "What do you think would happen if the four families found out the truth, Mom?"

Xiang Yin did not answer her eldest daughter's question directly, and she thought things through first. A few moments later, she let out a soft sigh and answered her. "I'm sure that Ling Xiao wouldn't dare do anything to Tian, ??but I have my doubts about the other three families."

"Ding Yuan is indeed an arrogant madman." Yu Suya said as she nodded repeatedly. "If he finds out the truth, then I'm sure that he will hunt down Tian to kill him."

Xiang Yin nodded in agreement with her words, but then she walked to the side of the window, and looked up at the sky as he spoke again. "But if that happens, and if the Duan and Gao families join in on it, then those three major families will vanish from this southern continent."

Suddenly, they heard a low moaning sound, and they turned toward the source of the sound.

"Ugh! Where am I?" Hua Xiuling muttered, as she looked around the room and massaged her dizzy head.

Yu Suya then walked over to her. "You are at my restaurant, Miss Xiuling."

"Huh?" Hua Xiuling was startled to hear that. She then sat on the chair and looked at Yu Suya in surprise. "Eh? Aren't you Big Sis Suya?"

"I am indeed Yu Suya." She answered with a faint smile, and she then sat across from her.

Hua Xiuling then turned to Xiang Yin, and she recognized her immediately, as she had met him several times in the past. "Aunt Yin?"

"I didn't think we would meet here, Xiuling." Xiang Yin replied with a nod.

"But how did I get here?" Hua Xiuling mumbled to herself, she then tried to remember what had happened before. "I remember I was being chased by some big beasts, but suddenly a man saved me, and he said that he was Aunt Xiangyue's husband. But I never knew that Aunt Xiangyue was married."

Yu Suya and Xiang Yin exchanged glances, and they laughed in their hearts, because Xia Tian had changed her memory, so she didn't remember anything about the fights earlier. Xiang Yin then said to her. "That man is indeed Xiangyue's husband, his name is Xia Tian, ??and he is also the one who brought you here."

"Xia Tian?" Hua Xiuling looked at them alternately in confusion, and before long she realized something. "You mean, he is the same Xia Tian as Princess Honglian's husband?"

"Yes." They nodded to her.

Hua Xiuling was dumbfounded hearing that, because she knew that Xia Tian was much younger than her aunt, and he also had many women.

Xiang Yin then spoke again. "You can ask Xiangyue directly, she may not have revealed their relationship to your family."

"En, I've asked her that, but she hasn't given me an answer." Hua Xiuling said with a low sigh.

After that, Yu Suya ordered a waitress to prepare a bowl of soup for Hua Xiuling. While waiting for it, they talked about a few things.
