Gu Yuena paused in surprise and asked,
"What problem?"
Shen Qingling said, "The Nine-Heart Begonia is passed down through a single line. Only Ye Lingling and her mother possess it. Unless either Ye Lingling or her mother dies, the next generation's Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul will not appear."
Gu Yuena was slightly stunned upon hearing this. She had not expected there to be such a restriction.
No wonder the Ye Family has always kept to itself. With the curse of single-line inheritance holding them back, even if their martial soul's healing ability is unmatched across the continent, they still can't support the stature of a great sect.
She then asked, "Since my husband can cure Dugu Bo's poison, surely the Nine-Heart Begonia can also break this curse?"
Shen Qingling gave a mysterious smile. "Take a guess."
Gu Yuena thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't like guessing. I prefer the kind of guessing we do together at night."
Shen Qingling froze. "I knew you weren't holding back anything decent."
He raised a hand and tapped Gu Yuena on the forehead, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.
"Have some decorum. We're discussing serious business."
Gu Yuena covered her forehead and chuckled, her eyes full of mischief.
She loved teasing Shen Qingling. Watching his serious expression get thrown into disarray was a hundred times more entertaining than discussing sect affairs.
Shen Qingling shook his head and returned to the subject.
"The curse can indeed be lifted. A suitable immortal herb can break the single-line restriction, allowing several inheritors of the Nine-Heart Begonia to exist at once. Once they no longer have to worry about the inheritance, the chances of the Ye Family pledging allegiance will be much greater."
Gu Yuena's eyes immediately lit up. She knew Shen Qingling
