Gu Yuena froze for a moment and asked,
"What problem?"
Shen Qingling said, "The Nine-Heart Begonia lineage is passed down through a single heir. 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."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena was slightly taken aback. She had not expected such a restriction.
No wonder the Ye Family had always kept to one corner. With the curse of a single heir holding them back, even if their martial soul's healing ability was unmatched across the continent, they could not sustain the stature of a great clan.

Gu Yuena's eyes immediately lit
