Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 589 - 336 The lost Spiritual Energy of the Ancestors?!

Shen Zhixi followed Shen Zhiqiao’s silhouette until the ’click’ of a closing door resounded, only then did he slowly withdraw his gaze.

He took out the jade artifact he carried all the time from his pocket and gently caressed it in the palm of his hand.

But this could not calm his turmoil.

The jade artifact secretly radiated mysterious purple evil light in the dark, as if yearning for something.

The silence in the study was so profound that one could hear a pin drop, and this eerie stillness pulled Shen Zhixi’s thoughts far away.

Back then, he had committed a great taboo on Ear Mountain, had his muscles and bones discarded, and was left unattended in the damp, shadowy swamp.

Everything he did was for her, yet in the end, even she could not forgive him.

He could not understand, resented this hypocritical world, and then, when he was in complete despair, he found this jade artifact.

The yin and yang, eight trigrams-shaped jade artifact, with dark purple evil glow much like today, he knew right away, that it was a forbidden artifact...

This jade artifact recognized its master, and to others, it appeared to be just an ordinary antique; only the master could activate it.

It could seal a person’s soul, strip the spiritual energy from their body.

years ago, when Shen Zhixi came to the human world, the first thing he wanted to do was to capture Xia Ye.

And as a young Shen Zhixi, it was with this forbidden artifact that he sealed Xia Ye’s soul and stripped her spiritual energy, allowing Luo Yisan to succeed.

Otherwise, with Xia Ye’s cunning, even at three years old, Luo Yisan might not be a match for her.

But after all, it was a forbidden artifact; its magic was very unstable, everything had to be done through trial and error.

Later, Shen Zhixi moved Xia Ye to a place where no one could find her; he then tried to unseal her soul, but to no avail despite many attempts.

Finally, he tied Xia Ye to his side again, but heaven did not give him the chance to ’reminisce’.

Xia Ye had become a soulless shell.

This was why he had come to see Xia Ye many times; however, when he noticed that she still showed no signs of returning, he quickly left in disappointment.

The reason why a forbidden artifact is forbidden is that in order to activate it, the master must sacrifice something of theirs.

And what Shen Zhixi sacrificed were his legs.

Thus, the accident that cost the young master of the Shen Family his legs years ago was not some unforeseen disaster; he orchestrated the accident, which was a diversion to draw attention away and also conveniently resolved the problem with his parents, who would only be an obstacle had they remained...

Shen Zhixi did not know why Xia Ye’s soul was suddenly unsealed.

Nor did he know where the massive spiritual energy that had been stripped from Xia Ye’s body had gone.

According to ancient practices, the forbidden artifact would seal the stripped spiritual energy inside any creature in the world.

It could be a person or it could be a tree, searching for it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

And the vessel that acted as the ’pot’ for the spirit might never know in its lifetime that it contained such a terrifying force...

Beijing University lost Jiang Xuan, its special guest professor, and the economics open course became much less interesting for the first-year students.

Likewise, students began to skip the class as they would with other courses.

Shen Jing meticulously noted down a list of absent students in his little notebook!

Whatever you do, do it to the fullest; Shen Jing was just that competitive!

Dong Mao always felt like he was as fussy as a petty housewife, not at all manly, whenever he saw Shen Jing grading homework during conference breaks with a furious intensity...

Regarding the robot competition, Lu Beibei’s team, after several trials, had successfully qualified for the summer finals.

Their concept of combining artificial intelligence with services for the disabled was quite innovative, but some teams thought that Beijing University had made it to the finals so smoothly merely because the idea was clever and also because the teams they faced earlier in the competition were relatively weak.

Facing many criticisms, Lu Beibei’s team disdained to explain. With several months left until summer, they had ample time to prepare for the finals.

The three teams that made it to the finals were all selected through rigorous competition, the best teams in the country. If they could achieve good results in the finals, they could shut those critics up.

Every day, apart from attending classes, Lu Beibei spent her time either in the computer lab or the library. When going to the lab, she generally sat in her usual spot, mainly because she was accustomed to that computer and because she stored some commonly used items there.

Today, she was once again at her old spot, fingers typing away furiously on the keyboard; the clock jumped from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., with the evening light streaming in. She rubbed her stiff shoulders, pulled out her USB drive, shut down the computer, and rose from her seat.

As she stood up, the person at the adjacent station also happened to stand up. Their movements were so synchronized, even the sound of the chairs scraping the floor was identical, causing Lu Beibei to turn her head for a glance.
