"What do you mean?"
Yale definitely didn't want to believe that Ange had some secret identity; that was selfish coming from him who had one, but he was the one who strived to understand his own identity. On the other hand, Ange had always avoided troubles and just wanted to help others, so Yale thought that a past life would only be a burden to her.
"There is some problem with your memories? Sometimes you act as you used, but others you are completely different."
Yale had forgotten to tell about the issues with his memories to Revgen.
"Yes, I have some memories sealed."
Yale decided to tell the truth because he trusted Revgen and knew that there was no problem in telling him about that, but Revgen frowned when hearing that.
"That is impossible..."
Revgen just muttered it, but Yale was able to hear it and was about to ask Revgen about it.
"Forget it, let's return to her identity. Since you seem to have forgotten, I shall explain it to you."
Revgen felt that the other topic would take too long and wasn't urgent, unlike helping Ange. Yale also agreed to focus on Ange for the moment because he could ask about those words of Revgen later.
"I remember some things, but nothing related to her and even my soul didn't react towards her. Who is she? No, let me rephrase that, who was she?"
Yale decided to face reality; it was indeed strange that Ange had such abnormal talent in healing from the start.
After all, the Time Bloodline wouldn't have such an effect even for a perfect bloodline, and Yale was a good proof of that. If Ange's father had been a great expert, maybe it could still be believable, but given that she had a useless father, it was strange for her to have such great talent in healing.
When a member of the Zhan Clan had such a talent, it was because both parents were amazing; since it wasn't something obtained from her body the only option was that was something from her soul.
Moreover, even as a child she was quite mature and took care of Yale after losing his mother and his father neglecting him from the start. Yale didn't know anyone to compare her to, or he would have noticed that Ange's behavior didn't match her age back then.
In fact, the other people didn't notice it because the Mysterious Expert had hypnotized them to think that Ange's behavior was normal.
"Both of you still look pretty similar to your past selves, but disregarding that, you should have recognized her identity by her soul even with your memories sealed in a normal situation."
Yale was truly interested in the reason that prevented his soul from reacting to Ange's soul.
"However, there is a seal on her soul; the same seal that protected her from the Soul Enslaving Altar. Due to that seal, without trying to sense her soul actively, it isn't easy to notice her true identity. If you have some memories sealed, with your current level I can understand that you can't sense it right now."
Yale knew about that seal because it was the reason for Ange being well, but that seal had been damaged due to the attacks of the Soul Enslaving Altar.
"Moreover, that seal had been put into her soul after reincarnating. Tofesh used your sword to help her to reincarnate, and I assisted her to ensure that she would be as close as possible to you after reincarnation. In fact, she was amazing and could do that last part to redirect her reincarnation without my help, but she wanted to be sure of accomplishing it and asked for my help anyway. Thus, I am sure that there wasn't any seal on her soul before reincarnating."
Yale frowned and remembered that Mysterious Expert that his father had mentioned to him.
"I knew that someone had interacted with Ange, and with my parents in this life when I was still in my mother's womb. That seal is something done by that person or at least that was what the father of this body said."
Yale didn't want to call that man his father in front of Revgen; he felt it improper given his identity in front of Revgen, and it wasn't like if he felt any kind of attachment towards that man who disregarded him.
"More important, tell me who she was."
Although Yale didn't want to accept it at the start, once he knew that Ange was also a reincarnated expert, he wanted to know her identity.
"She was one of the twin girls you had with Zhana. She was the big sister, so she was your eldest daughter. You needed five years since she was born until you managed to also have children with the Sword Bloodline; that last one was truly a challenge to you."
Yale's mind stopped working when he heard Ange's identity. At that moment, he remembered the resentment that his father had towards him. That resentment of him had originated because Ange was always giving more attention to Yale than to her current biological father.
"If he knew about this since the start. I know why he was feeling that I was stealing his daughter away, but still, that wasn't my fault."
Yale thought about that, but he stopped quickly; he didn't feel that his father was worthy of any pity on that topic since he had used Ange as a decoy.
"Her death was quite special because she was forced to fake her death, and in the end, she decided that rather than remain to fake her death for thousands of years, she would rather reincarnate to be with you again. She was only five when you left, but she was truly attached to you. Moreover, as her soul didn't have any problems as she was a Law Master at that time, she should have been reborn with all her memories; she just lost them afterward due to that seal."
Yale frowned when he heard that she was forced to fake her death, but as if Revgen understood his intentions, and continued explaining.
"She only trained in the Magus Path, so her body was extremely weak despite having turned into a Law Master of three laws at a young age. Compared with her, your other children were all lacking in talent, but her personality was too weak, she was too kindhearted and hated harming others no matter the reason. That aroused the jealousy of the members of the Zhan Clan after Zhana died; since she had never married, all the members of the Zhan Clan were descendants of her little sister."
Yale's look turned gloomy because he already guessed the continuation.
"One of her nephews who was at the Sage Rank had ambushed her and killed her. Fortunately, it isn't that easy to kill someone who is a Law Master in Time, Life and Death, so she recovered from her injuries quickly and came to see me. At that time that guy had underestimated her, but it was difficult to know what he would try after that. That is why she couldn't show that she was alive because at that moment an internal war would happen in the Zhan Clan and your work in establishing the bloodline would be wasted if there were too many causalities. For that reason, she ended up choosing to reincarnate."
Yale's face was still as gloomy as before, that guy deserved death for trying to harm Ange's past life.
"What happened to that guy after that?"
Revgen's face turned serious at that moment.
"No one discovered his crime, and when her mother died in strange circumstances, he turned into the head of the Zhan Clan. Moreover, he is the current leader, and although he seems neutral, all of those who challenged his leadership have died."
Yale and Revgen weren't fools and knew that a death in strange circumstances after that murder attempt to Ange's past life wasn't believable without putting that guy as the culprit. The same applied to the deaths of those who opposed him.
"Do you think that he is in the True Empire?"
That behavior fitted well with the Ture Empire, but Yale knew that the faction that didn't want to kill him wasn't part of the True Empire, or there was no way they wanted him alive, so it was a bit contradictory with someone who killed everyone who opposed to his leadership.
"No, I doubt it. That guy wouldn't submit easily towards anyone, but if the influence of the True Empire increases enough and the True Larken Clan offers him enough benefits, it isn't impossible that he chooses to swap sides. Given his methods, a bloodbath would have already happened if he had already changed sides. Probably the reason for the True Zhan Clan not acting too overboard was that they still fear their clan head."
Yale nodded; he loathed that man and was on his list of people to kill, but as long as he didn't betray the continent and joined the True Empire, Yale decided that such trashy man could be allowed to live until the war ended.
"Alright, that is enough for now. Let's help Ange; we can continue this conversation later."
It didn't matter if Ange was his big sister or his past life's daughter, Yale wanted to save her.
