Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"..."

Leng Yuening never expected that Ye Ge would suddenly come up and start cursing at her.

The problem is, she really couldn't refute it...

Sigh, there's nothing we can do. Since Xi'er lied, this lie will just have to continue...

“I…” Leng Yuening didn’t know what to say.

"Ye Ge, don't blame your master." Xiao Yuxi cooperatingly advised from the side, "It was I who kept it from your master and didn't tell her."

"Even so, it's still her fault." Ye Ge shook her head. "What era are we living in? There are still people practicing such a pain in the ass as the 'Supreme Forgetfulness Technique.' It's one thing for her to practice it herself, after all, she's an ancient relic over a thousand years old, but she actually makes her younger disciples practice this outdated product that should have been eliminated by the old era. It's really..."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuening immediately bristled and angrily retorted, "Who are you calling an old relic?!"

"Also, what does it mean to be a 'painful technique'?"

"The Supreme Forgetfulness Technique is an ancient immortal cultivation method passed down from my master's master! It's a red-level quality technique! Moreover, even among red-level immortal cultivation techniques, it's definitely top-grade! In the Moon Condensation Palace, only the chief disciple can practice it, and you dare to say that it's a product outdated by the times!?"

How could Leng Yue Ning tolerate hearing that the exclusive martial arts technique of Yue Ning Palace had been humiliated like this?

After all, a red-grade superior cultivation technique is only one step away from gold-grade.

Among humans, this is definitely a sacred treasure-level secret technique!

The Moon Condensation Palace became the number one cultivation sect of the human race precisely because of the ancient and unique "Supreme Forgetfulness Technique"!

Ye Ge's words are tantamount to insulting Yue Ning Palace! Insulting the ancestors of Yue Ning Palace!

Seeing Leng Yuening's serious expression, Xiao Yuxi knew that her master was truly angry, and she panicked. She quickly tried to smooth things over in a soft voice, "Master, don't be angry. Ye Ge didn't actually mean to look down on the Moon Condensation Palace's techniques..."

Night Song: "Oh, no, that's what I meant."

Xiao Yuxi: "..."

Leng Yuening stared wide-eyed: "What did you say?!"

Ye Ge laughed: "It was passed down from Master's Master, and you still say it's not an antique? In your eyes, does anything with the word 'ancient' in its name necessarily have to be a good thing?"

Leng Yuening gritted her teeth: "What do you know about the wisdom of the ancient sages, you brat!"

Ye Ge picked his nose: "If the ancient ancestors you mentioned knew that you descendants of the Moon Condensation Palace have been living off your ancestors for thousands of years without making any improvements to the techniques left by them, you would be so angry that you would jump out of your coffins."

Leng Yuening: "You..."

"..."

Xiao Yuxi stood to the side, looking completely bewildered, unsure of how to dissuade him.

How could it become like this?

"Sister Yu Xi, it's alright, you can go out first." Ye Ge smiled and said, "I'll have a good chat with your master."

"This..." Xiao Yuxi looked worried, but after glancing at Ye Ge and seeing him give her a wink to reassure her, she said, "Then... alright then..."

This time, it was Xiao Yuxi's turn to go out.

"Alright, Palace Master Leng, calm down." Ye Ge looked at Leng Yuening, who was sitting opposite him with a sullen face, and poured her a cup of tea with a smile: "No matter what, the most important thing now is to find a way to help Yu Xi stabilize her Dao heart, isn't it? I don't mean anything else, at least we need to find the flaws in the 'Supreme Forgetfulness Technique' first so that we can better help her get rid of her inner demons."

Leng Yuening snorted coldly: "You talk as if you know a lot about our Moon Condensation Palace's Supreme Forgetfulness Technique..."

"Perhaps I do know a little." Ye Ge slowly picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Recently, Yu Xi's Dao heart has been unstable. When she is troubled by inner demons during her cultivation, does she feel that her meridians are not flowing smoothly, and that her fifth and sixth soul power nodes are abnormally blocked?"

Leng Yuening was slightly taken aback.

Hmm...it seems that's really the case?

Ye Ge continued, "Whenever she is troubled by inner demons and tries to use the Heart-Cleansing Mantra to calm her mind and cultivate, can she only maintain it for less than an hour? After that time, will the effect of the Heart-Cleansing Mantra be halved?"

Leng Yuening frowned slightly, carefully recalling her previous situation, and subconsciously nodded: "Yes... indeed..."

Night Song: "After you know what your true inner demon is, does it not only fail to improve at all, and your Dao heart is not rebuilt, but the speed at which your cultivation is depleted also accelerates?"

Leng Yue Ning's expression turned solemn, and she nodded again subconsciously: "Yes, that's right..."

"Ok?"

Leng Yuening suddenly realized: "It's not me! It's Xi'er!"

"Alright, alright, it's Sister Yu Xi." Ye Ge smiled. "See, I do know a thing or two about your Moon Condensation Palace's techniques, don't I?"

"Hmph..." Leng Yuening curled her lip.

Although I'm reluctant to admit it...

But what that despicable little thief just said seems to actually be true...

"How do you know so much about the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique of our Moon Condensation Palace?"

Leng Yue gazed at him and asked.

"Is this..."

Ye Ge touched his nose.

He thought to himself, "He can't very well say that in the game, you already had a storyline where your Daoist heart was unstable and you were almost going to go mad with evil spirits, can he?"

Later, it was only after the flaws in the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique were corrected that the player-controlled protagonist was able to save Leng Yuening, preventing her from becoming a female demon who wreaked havoc on the world.

"I heard it from my teacher," Ye Ge said casually.

“Lan Mi?” Leng Yuening frowned. “But I went to see Lan Mi last time, and she didn’t give me any answer.”

"Oh? You went to see my teacher?" Ye Ge raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you two mortal enemies? You actually went to ask her for advice?"

“I…” Leng Yuening blushed.

"In short, since you really do have some understanding of the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique..."

Leng Yuening didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, so she pressed on, "Did Lan Mi tell you how to deal with your inner demons?"

"Oh, of course." Ye Ge gazed quietly into Leng Yue Ning's eyes.

Feeling uncomfortable under Ye Ge's gaze, Leng Yuening got goosebumps and instinctively looked away, saying, "You...you little thief, why are you staring at me like that?"

"The Supreme Forgetfulness Technique is indeed a very profound and powerful cultivation method," Ye Ge said slowly. "If one can cultivate this technique to its peak, it may even be no weaker than a golden-grade immortal technique. Unfortunately, this technique requires the practitioner to maintain absolute purity of mind and desire, and not to be disturbed by worldly love. Once the practitioner is troubled by love, their Dao heart will be unstable, and their cultivation will begin to regress. In severe cases, they may even lose all their immortal power and suffer from demonic possession—this is the biggest flaw of this technique."
