Upon hearing Xiao Yifei say this, Old Hua looked at him with confusion, clearly not understanding what Xiao Yifei meant by "innate." Seeing this, Xiao Yifei explained, "The meaning of 'innate' here is that no matter how you nurture her, Qianxi's personality will still turn out this way."

Everyone was a little startled upon hearing this, finding it hard to believe. How could a person's personality be innate? It's generally related to upbringing. That's why when Xiao Yifei spoke, everyone found it incredible.

"What do you mean?" Old Hua asked, looking at Xiao Yifei. In response, Xiao Yifei revealed the reason, "Let me put it this way, Qianxi's mother Ci Xin and Qianxi have identical personalities. Strangely enough, they were quite gentle when they were young."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, and even Sisi voiced her confusion, "Could it be hereditary?" Hearing Sisi mention heredity, Xiao Yifei chuckled and said, "How can personality be hereditary?" Upon this realization, Sisi also awkwardly chuckled.

"Since it's not hereditary, there must be some other connection," Old Hua pointed out. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded in agreement. Actually, he had contemplated this before, but he never figured out what the connection was.

At this point, Old Hua said slowly, "I remember Ci Xin was also very skilled in martial arts at that time. Could it be because of this?" Hearing Old Hua's words, Xiao Yifei suddenly felt an epiphany, and slowly recalled the old man whom Ci Xin had injured before. He had previously encountered someone injured by Ci Xin when he visited Yunshen Town.

This person's internal injury was identical to that of Liu Sisi! In other words, Ci Xin's inner strength method and Qianxi's are exactly the same. Or, it could be said that Qianxi's inner strength entirely comes from her mother, Ci Xin!

So Old Hua's previous speculation makes sense. The two trained in the same inner strength method and have the same personality. Isn't this method the natural connection between them? It's even possible that anyone who practices this cultivation technique becomes like Qianxi and Ci Xin.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei's eyes brightened, and he slowly shared his conjecture and reasons. After listening, everyone felt the same realization that Xiao Yifei had earlier. Perhaps Qianxi's personality isn't really her fault!

"Let's not talk about this now," Xiao Yifei said, since the most crucial thing now is to find Ci Xin. Rather than dwelling on this, it's better to find Ci Xin sooner. Hearing this, everyone nodded.

However, Xiao Yifei's clues for finding Ci Xin have come to a halt at Yunshen Town. Thinking of this, he planned to return to Yunshen Town to take another look, but upon considering Tang Rong, he dared not move recklessly.

Seeing everyone still standing at the doorway, Old Hua quickly invited them inside, thinking that despite the gravity of the situation, it wasn't appropriate to keep standing. So everyone followed Old Hua into the house.

At this moment, Qianxi was wiping Liu Rui's body. Looking at Liu Rui, who had his eyes tightly closed, Qianxi felt indescribable guilt. She knew her personality was peculiar, but she couldn't control it, which had troubled her for many years.

Yet, more often than not, Qianxi's peculiar personality took over. Gradually, even Qianxi herself believed that was her true self, leading her to present such a face to others in her later life.

But how could she completely eliminate this peculiar personality? Qianxi didn't know. However, while thinking about this, she suddenly recalled a cultivation technique left to her by her mother. She achieved her current realm by following this technique.

Yet now, Qianxi felt something was not right. Something she hadn't noticed before: although her cultivation improved greatly due to the cultivation technique, her temper seemed to worsen since she began practicing it.

Thinking of this, Qianxi stopped her actions and tidied up her things, then went to her room. She walked straight to a cabinet, slowly opened it, and took out something from inside.

It was a book, somewhat antiquated, clearly quite old. The large characters on the cover indicated it was a book about inner strength. After memorizing the cultivation methods inside long ago, Qianxi never took it out again, and the cover was layered with dust.

Gently brushing away the dust, Qianxi slowly flipped through it. The records were the same as what she saw before, but she felt an unease about the cultivation technique, so she didn't hastily put it back and examined it carefully, trying to find some clues.

Sure enough, upon careful examination, Qianxi found that two pages of the book were stuck together, clearly done intentionally to avoid detection. She had never noticed this peculiarity before.

Slowly separating the pages, a piece of paper fluttered to the ground. Seeing this, Qianxi picked it up in confusion. This paper, slightly yellowed with age, unfolded in her hands as she wondered what was written on it.

As soon as she opened it, she saw a few words, "Dear Qianxi," realizing it was not just an ordinary record but a letter meant for her.

Since it fell from the cultivation book, it was clear to whom the letter was meant.

"By the time you read this letter, I may be gone. But before completing the cultivation of this technique, do not seek me out." Reading these words, Qianxi felt uneasy. Could it be that her mother's disappearance was forced? With this question, Qianxi continued reading.

"I obtained this cultivation technique by chance. It contains methods for rapidly gaining great power, but the drawbacks are evident."

Drawbacks? Seeing these two words, Qianxi had some guesses. The drawback mentioned in the letter was likely the change in personality. Sure enough, as she read on, she saw the letter clearly stated her earlier guess. Yet, it went further by detailing the solution.

"Though it has side effects, there is a way to resolve them. But first, you must find something called the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle and a person skilled in using it, having them administer it to you. Only then can you break the limitations of the cultivation technique, see a significant increase in skill, and be free of side effects."

Reading this, Qianxi felt excited. By doing so, she could not only change her peculiar temperament but also greatly increase her skill. Although she wasn't particularly pursuing a skill boost, fixing her bad temper was enough to delight her.

"Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle?" Qianxi murmured, remembering the name, she continued reading.
