In response to Sang Qingxiao's inquiry, Qi Xiaomian merely gave a confirming glance. Sang Qingxiao reminded him that methods and approaches should still be handled with care; even if the reasoning was on their side, the act of patricide would not sound good when spoken of.
The Empress Dowager was still relying on Qi Hao's medicine. If he were to die, the Empress Dowager would surely fly into a rage, and it could lead to a complete fallout between them. Therefore, I asked Old Vine for help in quickly developing the Antidote.
What the Empress Dowager wanted was not just this; having tasted sweetness, she could not accept aging again. Without a second thought, Qi Xiaomian replied that they should not give her the Antidote. Once the poison took effect, she would have no energy to meddle in other matters.
Old Vine determined that the poison was detrimental to Lifespan. Without the Antidote, Qi Hao could live at most for another year; if he did not follow medical advice and continued to push himself, he might only last a couple of months. That was fine; it meant he could go to the Underworld sooner and apologize to the Warriors who had died.
After saying this, Qi Xiaomian curiously asked what The Office of Censors had seen yesterday. Little Buddha cried out that Qi Hao's body was terrifying, filled with malevolent spirits.
"Inside his body?" Qi Xiaomian asked in confusion.
Old Vine confirmed that he was not a demon and sensed no Magic Breath from him. After hearing The Office of Censors' words, I suspected that the malevolent spirits within Qi Hao were ghosts.
"Ghosts? Whose ghosts? How many ghosts can fit inside a person's body?"
Sang Qingxiao replied that he had encountered individuals with dual souls before. Generally speaking, the relationship between these two souls is often that of spouses or siblings—souls that are closely related and always consider each other. When one dies, the other is reluctant to part ways, and various conditions allow for such an abnormal existence.
Their mutual understanding and familiarity mean that when their souls exchange places, others would not notice anything unusual. However, even such intimate relationships are not always harmonious; as the saying goes, "familiarity breeds contempt." Being together all the time can lead to boredom, and if they happen to disagree, their souls can clash.
Minor disputes may be manageable, but if things escalate, the consequences could be dire—at worst, both bodies and souls could vanish in an instant. If my guess is correct, Qi Hao has managed to survive among humans for so long because he has reached an agreement with the ghosts within him; indeed, those ghosts might be his former Relatives.
"Could the ghosts within Qi Hao also be his past Relatives?"
Sang Qingxiao responded that The Office of Censors had only cried yesterday; when asked to describe it, they were too frightened to articulate anything clearly. Thus, he had taken a brief look at some of Qi Hao's memories. Since The Office of Censors had only glanced once, I did not gather much information from his memories.
As the Office of Censors mentioned, there are indeed quite a few, and each one of them has the appearance of a villain. The relationships among these villains are complex; in their exchanges of glances, there is malice, vigilance, and calculation, but no sense of loyalty whatsoever.
However, this does not mean that the spirits within him are not his relatives. After all, in such an environment, even the most honest and good-natured person can develop a temper after being squeezed for too long.
Qi Xiaomian still found it somewhat horrifying. The risks involved in such actions seemed far too great. As you just said, even two spirits must tread carefully around each other, let alone the many he harbors within him.
The risks are indeed significant! I have never seen anyone with more than two spirits inside them.
