Chapter 165.2 : Regret and Sorrow (Part 2)
Special Information:
The target suffers from an innate deficiency and has long been in a state of continuous life-source depletion, causing all of their talents to remain unmanifested. The host may expend their own origin to completely cure the target's congenital deficiency and the issue of life-source loss. The benefits the host may obtain are currently unknown.
Hidden Information:
The target possesses an extremely powerful talent, but it cannot be activated due to congenital deficiency and life-source depletion. Moreover, because of this overwhelming talent, the target has long endured great suffering. At present, only three years of lifespan remain.
When Chu Ge saw this, his heart jolted in shock.
He had long since understood the upper limits of what the current level of the information panel could detect.
Anyone below the Eighth Heaven could be fully probed; once one reached the Eighth Heaven, only partial information could be obtained.
Even Ying Qingjue, who stood nearby—back when she was in a remnant-soul state—could be completely probed by Chu Ge.
But now that she had reconstructed her body and attained Eighth Heaven cultivation, only partial information could be detected.
Yet today marked the first time Chu Ge had probed a target below the Eighth Heaven and failed to obtain complete information.
What was even more astonishing was that this target was, in every sense, an ordinary mortal.
When Chu Ge first saw Wan Qingchi, he had assumed she was using some extraordinarily profound method of concealing her aura, preventing him from seeing her true cultivation.
Only after probing did he realize that Wan Qingchi had never cultivated at all—she truly possessed not the slightest trace of cultivation and was a complete mortal.
And after seeing the subsequent special information and hidden details, Chu Ge's heart was shaken even more.
To be described by the information panel as possessing a powerful talent…
The fragile, slender, sickly beauty before him must harbor something truly extraordinary within her.
At the very least… it had to be at the level of a Sacred Body!
Anything less would not merit such an evaluation.
Even Chu Ge could not help but feel a sense of pity.
To possess such a talent, yet have it remain unmanifested due to various reasons, to suffer incessantly because of it, and to have only three years of lifespan remaining…
As he looked at Wan Qingchi's smile—bright as blooming flowers—Chu Ge's gaze could not help but carry a trace of regret and sorrow.
Even the surprise brought by her astonishing 85 points of affection was largely washed away by this sense of pity and lament.
Wan Qingchi sensed Chu Ge's gaze, and her heart tightened, as if she had been seen through entirely.
Yet she did not reveal anything on the surface. Instead, when she looked back at Chu Ge, her eyes carried a faint, almost imperceptible hint of anticipation.
Toward this owner of the diary copy—especially after reading its contents—Wan Qingchi had developed all kinds of emotions.
Curiosity, exploration, yearning, expectation… too many to count.
In her daily life, she could only remain within the City Lord's Manor, sealing the loss of her own life source in hopes of living a little longer.
Those around her were merely servants. Aside from Mu Qinglan—who was also a diary-copy holder—she had no other close friends.
And Mu Qinglan naturally could not keep her company every day. After all, Mu Qinglan still needed to cultivate, and she was not originally from Lingxiao Ancient City.
Thus, the daily diary-copy content became the only thing that truly interested Wan Qingchi, this sickly beauty confined deep within her chambers.
Especially after reading about the Sons of Fortune, and about people or events whose destinies were altered because of Chu Ge, the diary's owner, Wan Qingchi's anticipation grew immensely.
So much so that after finishing each day's new diary content, with nothing else to do, she would often flip back through earlier entries she had already read.
She, too, wanted to defy the heavens and change her fate.
She, too, wanted to break free from the shackles of destiny.
She had once thought this was nothing more than her own one-sided fantasy.
But the message from Mu Qinglan not long ago reignited hope within her heart.
Chu Ge, the owner of the diary, had come to Lingxiao Ancient City—and not only that, he would even visit the City Lord's Manor as a guest.
No one knew just how intense Wan Qingchi's emotions were when she saw that news.
But Wan Qingchi herself understood clearly—
The opportunity for her to defy the heavens and change her fate, the person who could allow her to do so, had appeared.
