The High Priest then informed Xiao Chen that, in order to preserve her unborn child, Xiao Chen’s mother had used a forbidden technique back then, sealing the power of the Gu King into Xiao Chen’s own bloodline. The only way to remove it was to cut open his abdomen and draw out the blood.

In the end, Xiao Chen gave up—not just to save Lin Ruyan’s life, but also for the sake of their unborn child. Lin Ruyan had taken such a firm stance because she feared that Xiao Chen would die if he went through with the procedure. The two held each other and wept, at a complete loss for what to do. They had never imagined that things would become this difficult. Both Xiao Chen and Lin Ruyan were filled with profound sorrow.
