Hua Yan was shaken to her core upon hearing these words, staring at her grandfather from the Hua Family, momentarily at a loss for words.
The grandfather from the Hua Family looked at her with a pained expression, reaching out to stroke her head, and sighed with gentle, loving compassion, "You have cast the Soul Curse on yourself, transferring your soul four hundred years into the future, an act against the heavens. Our ancestor, too, acted against the heavens in using the Soul Sending Technique on Emperor Huaiyu. Such defiance of the heavens should not be done, and so, you suffer, with your soul unable to live beyond the age of your death. Our ancestor received divine punishment, losing his life for it. Su Zizhan was born bearing the affliction of a severe cold poison for many years, and had it not been for your forceful removal of the Poisonous Insect King on his behalf, he wouldn't have survived past his youth."
Hua Yan pursed her lips, her face pale as she listened in silence.
