The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"Alright, it's getting late. Chen Xuan, you should go back and rest. Your master's wife and I still have things to discuss."

"Ok."

Chen Xuan cupped his hands in greeting and then left.

Only the two of them remained in Yu Gang's room.

"What's wrong, husband?"

"What do you think of this Chen Xuan?"

"He's quite outstanding, but his background is too pitiful. We should treat him well in the future."

"There's no need for that!" Yu Gang suddenly shouted.

Long Yuyan frowned and set up a soundproof array.

"Why not? He's so talented. If he's properly nurtured now, his future is bright!"

“I said I don’t need it, and that means I don’t need it. He’s just a trashy Peach Blossom Immortal Soul. It’s already incredibly lucky that he has a skill that increases his luck. What else do you think he can achieve?”

"This... but that's not what you said when you took Si Rui in! Wasn't Si Rui's immortal soul weaker?" Long Yuyan was somewhat incredulous, as if some kind of filter had shattered.

"Hehe, you're still too naive! You don't really think that Sirui only has one immortal soul, do you?"

"What?! You, you mean..."

"That's right, he was born with two immortal souls, and the other one is of inestimable value! That's the main reason I took him as my disciple!"

"Extremely valuable? Could it be even more powerful than my Long family? Where does it originate from?"

Yu Gang glanced at her indifferently.

"You're all talk and no action. Now's not the time to talk to you. Let's talk about Chen Xuan's problem first!"

"What's wrong with him?" Long Yuyan asked, barely suppressing her anger, after hearing Yu Gang's disdain for her.

"There's nothing wrong with him personally, the problem is that he's simply not worth training! We don't need him right now, and the only reason we're taking him in is because of his medical skills and his luck with women!"

"By the way, if I protect him for a while longer, he should be eternally grateful to me!"

"You...!" Long Yuyan was so angry she didn't know what to say, but out of consideration for their relationship, she forced herself to suppress her anger.

"How did you become like this!"

"It's not that I've changed, it's just that the academy's initial plan was this way. There were only resources for the seven of them, and... Chen Xuan, as a support, couldn't cause any trouble!"

Long Yuyan took a deep breath: "I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Oh, right, you should avoid associating with this Chen Xuan in the future. He's a lowly person from the lower realm. Just give him some resources to help him generate peach blossom luck. Once his luck is good enough, sell him for a good price. I don't want him to come knocking on my door to extort money from me later!"

……

After leaving Yu Gang's room, Long Yuyan returned to her own room in a state of extreme frustration, only to find Chen Xuan waiting for her at the door.

Seeing this, she forced a smile and walked over:

"What's wrong, Chen Xuan? Why didn't you go back to your room? What are you waiting outside for?"

"It's nothing, I just heard the teacher yell at you, and I was really worried that you two were arguing, so I came to ask!"

Chen Xuan looked so well-behaved and sensible that Long Yuyan was filled with mixed emotions, and she couldn't help but go over and pat his head.

'He's so well-behaved, I really don't understand why you all dislike him so much! Is it just because he came from the lower realm?'

"No, Xuan'er, don't worry. There's nothing to say between him and me. Just focus on your cultivation!"

"You still say nothing's wrong? Your expression can't fool me, Master's wife. Did your teacher scold you? I'm going to find him right now and get justice for you!"

"Don't go!" Long Yuyan grabbed Chen Xuan's hand, but Yu Gang's words, "Long hair, short wit," kept echoing in her mind.

"Your going will only make things more chaotic, don't go!"

"But... I can't bear to see you, Master's wife, suffer like this!" Chen Xuan said, looking pained.

"Your teacher... that's just his temper. His wife is used to it. Don't provoke him anymore. This matter will be fine in a few days. Your teacher's wife is already very grateful that you have the intention!"

Chen Xuan stopped what he was doing, looking shocked and heartbroken.

He held Long Yuyan's hand tightly: "Master's wife, is this the kind of life you usually lead? Even now that you've suffered injustice, you still think of me... How can I ever repay your kindness!"

Upon seeing this, Long Yuyan's emotions erupted. She didn't want to shed tears, but she simply couldn't hold them back.

As the legitimate daughter of a prestigious family, she had never experienced any grievances since childhood and had always had a smooth life. However, one day, she met Yu Gang and fell in love with him uncontrollably. Thus, she began to experience feelings of grievance.

And the feeling of being wronged is also quite strange.

When everyone misunderstands you or ignores you, you may feel wronged, but you can endure it.

But if someone suddenly appears who understands you, points out your grievances, and knows how you're hurting, then the emotions you've accumulated over the years will explode.

Of course, there is another situation: if the person who wronged you apologizes to you, you will also have a fight, but obviously Yu Gang is not in this category.

But how did Chen Xuan know that Long Yuyan was wronged? This is all thanks to Yu Gang.

The array that Long Yuyan had just casually set up was something Yu Gang had given him before, so he knew the array very well. Their conversation was overheard by Chen Xuan.

Yu Gang is indeed a genius in some areas, but his emotional intelligence is too low. He speaks without thinking and says whatever comes to mind, which can easily hurt people.

Especially since your cultivation level is low while Long Yuyan's is high, she is with you despite public opinion, yet you keep hurting her with your words, which will make her feel even more wronged.

So, the considerate, warm-hearted, and yet heart-wrenching Chen Xuan personally came out to "understand" Long Yuyan, causing her emotions to erupt.

The effect was quite obvious. At this moment, Long Yuyan's face was covered with tears, and she looked extremely sad. It was clear that she had suffered a lot of humiliation over the years.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan set up a soundproof array and then took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears she shed, and he couldn't wipe them all away.

"Master's wife, please don't cry. It breaks my heart to see you crying like this!"

Chen Xuan put down the handkerchief and reached out to wipe away her tears.

'You kept touching my head, now I'm finally getting my revenge!'

"Waaaaah! Master's wife, I don't want to cry either, but I just can't help feeling so sad! Why is your teacher like that? It's clearly not my fault, but he still treats me like this, waaaaah!"

Long Yuyan was so heartbroken that she didn't care about Chen Xuan anymore. She leaned against him and wiped her tears with the front of his shirt.
