Gu Ningyun said to Su Jiu, "True love is often blind. Especially when that love runs deep, it can affect a person's most basic judgment.
"No matter how shrewd someone usually is, they can lose themselves when faced with the person they truly love. Some even become utterly abject in love, losing both their heart and their dignity..."
Gu Ningyun spoke those last two phrases very softly. Had Su Jiu's hearing not been so keen, she probably would not have caught what she said at all.
Su Jiu glanced at Gu Ningyun, knowing she had probably thought of that person again.

"That female cultivator probably ended up like this because the wraith exploited her weakness."
Yun Huanling stole a glance at Su Jiu, closed his eyes tightly for a moment, then opened them again. Starlight still filled his eyes. "But if that was all there was to it, where did the resentful qi on her body come from?
"Besides, an ordinary ghost fetus shouldn't have this much resentful qi when it's born."
