At this moment, under the bright moonlight, The three siblings stood facing Mo Changyu in the backyard of Forget Worries Pavilion. Mo Changyu quietly drew a circle on the ground and stood within it.

"For this test, I'll remain within this circle. As long as you manage to get me out, you win. And I'll only defend, no offense, and I won't use my Soul Power. You can attack freely and let me see the results of your efforts over this time."

The three siblings exchanged glances and simultaneously summoned their Martial Souls.

"Martial Soul: Moonlight Qin, Soul Power Level: Sixty-seven." The eldest sister, Ye Han Yue, produced an ancient Qin in her hand, and six Soul Rings of yellow, purple, black, black, and purple shimmered around her.

"Martial Soul: Purple Heart Begonia, Soul Power Level: Fifty-three." The second sister, Ye Hanxue, conjured a begonia blossom in her hand, and five Soul Rings of yellow, purple, purple, black, and yellow appeared around her.

"Martial Soul: Spirit Eyes, Soul Power Level: Fifty." The youngest brother, Ye Zifeng, had his eyes glow, and four Soul Rings of yellow, purple, purple, and yellow materialized around him.

"Please, Master, teach me."

After saying this, the three siblings each unleashed their Soul Skills.

"Fourth Soul Skill · Purple Light Blessing"

"Seven-String Formless Sword"

"Departure - Meteor Shower"

The second sister, Ye Hanxue, first enhanced the attributes of the other two, and then they both unleashed their signature moves towards Mo Changyu.

In an instant, Qin music and sword energy, along with countless flames, surged towards Mo Changyu.

Mo Changyu, seeing this, used Tai Chi Force to deflect the Qin music and sword energy that arrived first, catching it in his hand, then pivoted and flung it towards the incoming flames.

The siblings exchanged a look and adjusted their tactics, continuing their attack.

…………

Two hours later, the three siblings sat on the ground, heads bowed, their faces filled with despair. No matter how they attacked, Mo Changyu would change the direction of his defense, dodging their attacks and preventing them from inflicting any effective damage.

Mo Changyu looked at the dejected trio.

"Your coordination is decent. Hanxue released a poison gas at the right time that slowed me down; Xiaoyue and Xiaofeng attacked at times when the other was attacking me, and finally sealed off all directions I could use to redirect their force. You three coordinate well. I'll consider you barely passing this test."

The trio's faces lit up with joy.

"Xiaoyue, I'll give you a few more scores and Soul Skills related to them, study them and learn from them, your Seven-String Formless Sword lacks intent." Mo Changyu handed her several books.

"Yes, Master." Ye Han Yue respectfully accepted the books.

"Xiaoxue, your poisons are not instantaneous, and the rest have indirect effects. When you face danger alone, they'll be insufficient. I'll give you a Poison Sutra and a Body Technique Soul Skill to compensate for your weaknesses." Mo Changyu handed her two books.

"Thank you, Master." Ye Hanxue cheerfully accepted the Poison Sutra and Soul Skill.

"Xiaofeng, I still want to ask you the same question I asked before: can you let go of the past? If you can, I'll pass on the complete Wind's Aftermath Gate to you. If not, I can find another path for you. I'm worried that once you see the complete Wind's Aftermath Gate diagram, you'll never be able to let it go!" Mo Changyu looked at Ye Zifeng quietly.

"Master, I… I don't know." Ye Zifeng hesitated and lowered his head.

"Think about it, notify me." Mo Changyu said and left.

Ye Zifeng watched the Master's departing back and silently returned to his room.

"Xiaofeng," Ye Hanxue called out, chasing after Ye Zifeng.

"Don't follow him. This is his path; we shouldn't interfere. Let him think it over." Ye Han Yue stopped her.

…………

Late at night, inside Forget Worries Pavilion, Ye Zifeng sat on his bed, lost in deep memories.

Several years ago, at the orphanage.

"Director, I'm here to see you. Are you doing well?" Ye Zifeng looked at the Director.

"Hmm, I'm alright. Things have been a bit busy lately with the arrival of a new batch of orphans." The orphanage director smiled.

"That's good. By the way, did you find anything about the matter I asked you to investigate? Any news?" Ye Zifeng asked with concern.

"This… we did find something, but…" The orphanage director hesitated, looking at Ye Zifeng.

"What is it? I know my mother was killed by Evil Soul Masters. What are you worried about?"

Looking at Ye Zifeng, the director sighed deeply and pulled a file from the bookshelf, handing it to Ye Zifeng.

"Alas, this is all we could find. I hope you won't be too heartbroken after reading it!"

"Heartbroken? Why would I be heartbroken?" Ye Zifeng asked, puzzled, accepting the file and sitting down on a nearby chair to read it.

The file revealed: the mother who was killed by the Evil Soul Masters was not Ye Zifeng's biological mother. She and her husband were childless, and Ye Zifeng was bought for them. As for his biological mother, she had died of starvation in a famine years ago.

Realizing that the mother who was killed by the Evil Soul Masters wasn't his biological mother, and that his biological mother had been abandoned, Ye Zifeng's heart collapsed, and he fainted.

"Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng, are you alright? Wake up, wake up!" The orphanage director rushed over, seeing Ye Zifeng collapse after finishing the file, and helped him onto the nearest bed.

"Alas, a poor child," the orphanage director said, calling out to someone at the door. "Bring his two sisters here."

A day later.

"Huh, what happened? Sisters, why are you here too?" Ye Zifeng opened his eyes and saw his two sisters at the bedside.

"We heard you fainted yesterday and rushed over. Don't worry, we'll always be here for you." Ye Hanxue said with concern.

"Me too. I'm your big sister, and you need to pull yourself together." Ye Han Yue chimed in.

, "Hmm, I will, don't worry." Looking at his two elder sisters who were concerned about him, Ye Zifeng felt a warmth spread through him, and he vowed in his heart to protect them, even if it cost his life.

Having spent so many years, Ye Zifeng remembered the experience of being abandoned in the past, and a chill ran down his spine. He thought he had let it go, but only he knew he hadn't truly moved on. He feared being abandoned again, a secret he had kept hidden until Master discovered it today.

It was then, as Ye Zifeng was lost in thought, that Li Changsheng pushed the door open and entered. Seeing him, Ye Zifeng stood up.

"I have met you, Master."

"Xiaofeng, the past cannot be changed, but the future can be altered. Don't trap yourself in the past; you must bravely face the future and change it. You have us now; you're not alone. We won't abandon you. Don't be afraid." Li Changsheng looked at the young man who was trying to appear composed and spoke softly, comforting him.

"The past cannot be changed, the future can be changed." After hearing Master's words, Ye Zifeng kept muttering these two sentences, even speaking them in his sleep.

At this moment, Li Changsheng glanced outside the door, smiled faintly, and then vanished.

The two figures outside the door also quickly disappeared.
