Chapter 544: Logical Consistency

Yin Qingcheng’s words made Lu Ye clearly understand why he had forgotten his memories of her.

Because he could assess the situation objectively.

If he hadn’t lost his memories, emotions might have held a slight advantage.

But now that he had lost his memories, Lu Ye could listen to Yin Qingcheng’s words objectively. He no longer viewed things from an emotional standpoint.

Shen Xitang wanted to retort.

However, Lu Ye beat her to it.

“First point, you say you practice the Forgetful Emotion Dao and regret your decision. Why didn’t you tell me that right away?” Lu Ye asked calmly.

Yin Qingcheng let her tears slide down her gorgeous cheeks without wiping them away.

“Because I was afraid. In my previous life, my love for you deepened gradually. I didn’t know how you would view me if I told you I cultivated the Forgetful Emotion Dao.”

Lu Ye shook his head.

“Wrong, very wrong!”

“With Shangguan Huanling before me, her Emotional Dao having vanished, I didn’t give up on her. Would you really worry that I would abandon you if you told me you practiced the Forgetful Emotion Dao?”

Lu Ye pointed out the mistakes clearly.

A look of pain appeared on Yin Qingcheng’s face.

“Husband, this truly is my mistake. At first, I wanted to use you as a stepping stone on the Forgetful Emotion Dao. I could sense that you lacked love, but I had my own selfish motives.”

“I practiced since childhood, and the elders of the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace trained me as a future Great Emperor. I was also a seeker of the Dao, so when I first encountered you, I didn’t have that deep love yet, and I saw you as part of my path. Is there anything wrong with that?” Yin Qingcheng asked.

Lu Ye nodded; that was a valid point. At the beginning of their relationship, asking someone to abandon their Dao completely was unreasonable.

“So when did your love for me reach its peak?” Lu Ye asked.

“When I took that shocking blow for you. At that time, you were being besieged by the Dark Emperor, and if that attack had hit you, you wouldn’t have escaped disaster. My mind was completely blank; without any hesitation, I burned everything to block that attack for you.”

“At that moment, my love for you peaked, to the extent that I was willing to lose my life for you!”

Yin Qingcheng was still talking about the time during the Dark Chaos.

It was also then that Yin Qingcheng suffered a severe injury. Even though Lu Ye sealed her immediately, her True Spirit still began to dissipate uncontrollably.

Dao companions are like offerings, with boundless powers.

Lu Ye completely went berserk, defeating the enemies and urgently seeking the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord.

In that moment, Lu Ye truly was a god-defeating man and a Buddha-killing god.

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord initially refused but ended up in a bloody battle with Lu Ye.

Later, it was because of Yin Qingcheng’s memory getting damaged that Lu Ye altered his memories.

Lu Ye fell silent.

Shen Xitang couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Thought that the dog host would have some serious combat power, but was this all?

Nothing at all!

So she spoke up.

“All this chatter, isn’t it just because you know the Forgetful Emotion Dao has been discovered by Lu Ye and can’t continue anymore, and thus you’ve honestly switched to the Ultimate Emotion Dao in this life?”

“Since your rebirth, has your love weakened at all?” Shen Xitang asked coldly.

Yin Qingcheng’s heart was heavy.

This Shen Xitang was definitely not an easy person to deal with.

“I still love Lu Ye the most, that has never changed in any lifetime!”

“Then why didn’t you change to the Ultimate Emotion Dao right away after your rebirth and still practiced the Forgetful Emotion Dao?”

Shen Xitang’s gaze was sharp.

Yin Qingcheng had already answered these potential issues in her mind countless times.

“Because I knew I hurt my husband. Thinking that since I was reborn this time, I could forget him and get everything back on track. I even tried hard to implement this.”

“But I found out that I couldn’t do it at all. I had already deeply fallen for my husband, and even knowing I had made a grievous mistake, I still couldn’t forget him.”

“I couldn’t stop thinking about him, and my mind was filled with his image. I couldn’t help but experience the pain he endured. I knew the Jiang family was his enemy, so I opened the Chaos Dao Field for my husband to crush their Dao.”

“The more I did this, the more I missed him.”

“Missing him was just too painful. In the end, I couldn’t hold back and borrowed the Three Lives Stone to see my husband once.”

“The more I missed him, the more I realized my love for him, but I still couldn’t tolerate him being with those ungrateful ones. I took all the resources from the Sixth Heaven, and I even thought of washing away the memories of his ungrateful ones with the Forgetful Sea.”

“Every move I made originated from my love for him.”

“Later, I found out my husband had completely woken up, and that’s when I finally made up my mind to abandon my Forgetful Emotion Dao and transform it into the complete Ultimate Emotion Dao.”

“After the matter with the Forgetful Sea was resolved, I met the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord. I realized that the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord didn’t have the power to alter my Dao. My husband knew in his last life that my Dao was the Forgetful Emotion Dao. He actually… for my sake… distorted his own memories…”

As she reached this point, Yin Qingcheng completely broke down, nearly covering her face and crying.

“I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong. It was my first time loving someone, and I didn’t know how to love.”

“I thought I was doing good for my husband, but now I understand it wasn’t like that.”

“I shouldn’t impose what I think is good onto my husband. I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong!”

Shen Xitang revealed a gentle smile in the face of Yin Qingcheng’s state.

She glanced at Lu Ye, her eyes carrying a hint of pity.

Pity.

Or to be precise, heartache.

It seemed she now understood why Lu Ye had it so tough in his previous life, not only because he was guarding the Great Dao, but also because some people are truly articulate and troublesome.

“You’ve said so much, are you willing to hear my side?” Shen Xitang asked with a smile.

Yin Qingcheng looked at Shen Xitang, knowing she believed her mistake lay in imposing her perceived good on Lu Ye.

Isn’t there a type of goodness in this world that claims, “I do this for your own good”?

Yin Qingcheng naturally knew that was wrong, but at least minimizing her mistakes offered the chance for her husband to forgive her.

With the logic fully sorted out, what could Shen Xitang say next?

She wasn’t afraid at all.

She was just there to listen.
