Tang Zen stood in her room, stuck in a daze. She did not expect that Hao Ren, the child who always handled everything silently talked to her in this manner. For the first time, she sensed how deep were the wounds on his heart. Old Man Hao came inside the room, and sensed something was off. He asked, "Madam, is everything alright?" Tang Zen turned around to look at him and said, "Call you daughter, she needs to give me some answers." Old Man Hao was surprised and asked, "Did something happen?" Tang Zen told him everything and Old Man Hao said, "I did not think she would make her take an oath." Tang Zen shook her head and said, "It is not an oath, it is something else." Old Man Hao furrowed his brows and said, "I will summon her." Tang Zen nodded, and just when the Old Man was about to leave, Empress Hao asked, "Old Man, do you think we have been a bit too hard on Ren?" Master Hao too a deep breath and he turned around before he said, "It is not me, Tang Zen, but you, who has been hard on him, always. He was scared of you, because in our heart we all know, that you never came to terms with him being unable to cultivate. I never said it to you, because I know that despite being stuck in a quagmire he never closed his heart. When Xiao Mei grew stronger and it was time for her to either confront the DEHB or to go to the cultivation world, it was your decision to separate the siblings. Xiao Mei was his entire world, but then you decided for her to put up acts. Ren's heart gradually broke and slowly he closed himself. You know why I know this? It is because I was by his side, making an effort, but as a man who dwelled through the world of blood and flesh, I have no idea how to look after children. I tried to be his friend and we do have an equation which is better than what you have with him. Today, you care about him because he is getting stronger. Tang Zen, before you ask questions to Xiao Mei, ask yourself, if you have been good to Ren." Old Man Hao spoke in a mild tone, but his words were akin to a knife through Tang Zen's heart. Her husband rarely used her full name, and whenever he did, he meant nothing but business. Han Xinyuan took a deep breath and left the room. He had to confront Hao Mei about this issue, because from his understanding of Hao Ren, he would not have lost his calm before his mother if the situation was not serious. ... Hao Ren was sitting next to Han Lingshi, watching her beautiful face drained of blood. The more he watched her, the more he felt annoyed and frustrated, if it were someone else, he would have killed them but how would he handle his own parents. Hao Ren frowned as he mumbled, "Why isn't she waking up?" A calm and soft voice sounded behind him, "Because something else is waking up inside of her." Hao Ren quickly stood up on his feet and turned around to look at the person. He was ready to attack but when he saw the figure before him he froze. His eyes opened wide and his hair were standing on their roots. The young man was shivering and his face had turned pale. Hao Ren felt his throat dry up, and all his blood flow reversed from the shock as he spoke in a questioning tone, "Mei?" The figure standing inside his room was none other than Hao Mei dressed in her white robe. She revealed a bitter smile and remarked, "I am not a ghost, Ren." Hao Ren clenched his fist and walked ahead with slow steps. He stood just one meter away from Hao Mei, and raised his shivering hand to touch her face. The contact between them lasted for just a second, but the heat radiating from her skin was enough to ensure that she was not a ghost, that she was a real human.

Hao Mei moved closer to him and placed her hand on his shoulder, tears were already falling from her eyes, as she said, "Please calm down, you will only hurt yourself. I am not here to defend myself. I came here only to tell you that I did not do anything wrong to Han Lingshi. She is reacting like this because of her cultivation technique." Hao Ren's brain had gone numb, he did not know what was going on. His parents were cultivators, his sister was alive, and now even his fairy wife had become a cultivator. What was going on in his life. He grabbed hard on the bedsheet and shivered as he said, "Don't touch me." Hao Mei closed her eyes as she took a deep breath, she was ready for this cold treatment but it still hurt a lot. She stepped back and Hao Ren said, "If you can, then help Lingshi, if you cannot, then leave." The young lady said, "The changes in Han Lingshi are caused by her cultivation technique. She will be fine by the morning." Hao Ren nodded and spoke with a deadpan expression, "You may leave." At this moment, he only wanted to be left alone. If not, then he was sure that a vein in his brain would burst. Hao Mei took out a small sachet from the void and placed it on the table beside the bed as she said, "When you wish to seek the answers to the questions, hold that sachet and call my name. I will appear before you. I am sorry." Hao Ren did not even look at her when she spoke while crying. The two sibling had a brief reunion but the situation was so unfortunate that it was apt to call it a Unfortunate Reunion. The young man sat on the bed in a daze, and his heart was hanging amidst a storm of emotions. He turned his head to look at Han Lingshi and mumbled, "You were right to be afraid about keeping secrets. Had you really kept me in the dark, I could never have forgiven you for it, Lingshi." Hao Mei heard his words and vanished from the room, and the only consolation in this situation was that Hao Ren did not hold Han Lingshi guilty.
