Chapter 176: Diya's dark past, Shocking truth
The three of them were standing beside Diya's bed as she was in an unconscious state and lying on the bed. After hearing Leon both of the others became confused, but the next thing blew their minds as Leon placed his hand on Diya's forehead and chanted something while his eyes were closed.
The moment he did that, Diya's whole body started shaking violently as if she had been on an electric shock table. Seeing this, Alena wanted to stop Leon, because whatever he was doing, it was hurting Diya to the extent that her body was feeling that kind of pain and she was suffering, but the old man Lin stopped Alena, because he noticed something about Diya that he had previously failed to see.
The next moment, something unexpected happened as mysterious runes started appearing on Diya's whole body, and in a couple of minutes her whole body was covered with millions of small runes.
From top to bottom, her body was covered by ancient symbols which were written in some kind of an ancient language all over her body. This was very shocking and devastating for Alena, and she fell on her knees, while Leon took a deep breath and the old man Lin was in a daze after seeing Diya.
Every inch of Diya's body was engraved with some kind of a language that no one was able to understand except for Leon.
"What is this? What are those things on her body? Father, tell me what this is." Tears started flowing from her eyes as she saw this and looked towards Leon to get some answers to her questions.
The old man Lin tightened his fist as he saw Diya, and the next moment he lifted his head towards Leon.
"Don't tell me that this is not what I am thinking about. Prove me wrong, Leon." The old man Lin looked towards Leon as he said those words to him.
Alena looked towards her father and then she shifted her gaze towards the old man Lin as she heard old Lin talking about something that she wasn't able to understand, and Leon's silence was making her more nervous and worried.
"Yes, your suspicion about her is correct. She is missing half of her soul and her memories are being sealed along with her real cultivation. She is not a normal human being. She is something else, something that we don't know about yet, and this is not her real self and personality.
I am afraid that it is going to be very difficult for Yohan when she gets back her memories and her previous cultivation base," Leon explained to Alena and the old man Lin as he said those words, looking at Diya.
Old Lin exhaled and inhaled a long breath as he looked towards Diya with a sad expression. On the other hand, Alena wasn't able to cope with these two and her father Leon's words.
Her heart was beating faster and louder as she looked at Diya's body which was covered with those ancient symbols and her gaze shifted to her father.
"Explain to me everything that you know about her, father. I want to know the meaning behind your words." Alena looked at Leon as she spoke to him.
Leon took a sigh as he heard his daughter and petted her head.
"Her cultivation base was sealed along with her memory, but it was triggered somehow when she cultivated with Yohan. That's why her speed is frightening when compared to other cultivators. She is getting her cultivation back as time passes. Her cultivation has been sealed by some ancient ritual long ago. Those symbols are the proof of the ritual, and she is not a normal human.
She is a very ancient and powerful being who has somehow ended up in this condition because of some unknown reason. I don't know what will happen when she gains her memories and cultivation back," Leon said as he looked at Alena.
Alena's face became dark as she looked towards Diya's innocent face. Her eyes became wet, seeing the innocent face of Diya.
"I have heard about those things in legends. I don't know anyone like her who exists with half of their soul. I am blown away by the fact that she is still alive with half of her soul left and that she has been living here without being noticed. That means that the uncle and the aunt she was talking about are not her real relatives. That's why she doesn't know about her past.
Now everything is starting to make sense," the old man Lin said as he looked at Alena and Leon.
Alena couldn't control her tears as she looked towards Diya. Her heart was sinking, seeing her like this. She approached her on the bed and took a seat beside her and started caressing her head.
Those symbols from her body started disappearing, one after another and a few moments later she became normal.
Old men Lin and Leon were looking at Alena quietly. She had a smile on her face as she caressed Diya's head.
"Both of you, I don't care what you think about her right now. I don't care who she is or where she belongs. She is still my daughter, and the thing that happened today is going to remain a secret between us. You are not going to tell Yohan about her, at least for now. This girl is scared and confused and I don't want Yohan to look at her in a different way after knowing her secret.
There might be some reason why she ended up here inside our clan. I don't know what happened to her in the past and I don't want to know about that. Did you guys get it?" Alena looked towards the old men Lin and Leon with a serious gaze as she said those words.
Hearing those words, both of them gulped and exchanged glances with each other and quickly nodded their heads like children as they both were afraid of seeing Alena's serious expression.
