Chapter 176: I Remember Everything Now
“It’s truly incredible… A righteous cultivator not only can practice the Celestial Crimson Sword Technique, which supposedly only the old witch Bixia could master, but now he can also easily hold the Demonic Origin Sword in his hand…”
Watching the scene gradually fade away on the screen, the members of the Evil Sky Sect were all visibly shocked.
The elder, Gu Li, looked incredulous and then avarice appeared in his eyes, “If we could capture him and study him thoroughly, perhaps we could discover some unique traits that we have never seen before.”
“He must have a unique physique, bones, or spiritual charm.”
Xue Po also spoke up, “If he can control the Demonic Origin Sword, then, could he also control other evil swords that our Evil Sky Sect plans to forge?”
As they spoke, everyone’s gaze turned towards the leader of the Evil Sky Sect. The leader of the sect glanced at them coldly, sending a chill down their spines.
Then, he said, “This Ye Xuan must not be left alive. If you see him outside in the future, take the opportunity to kill him.”
“Yes–!” Upon hearing this, everyone respectfully agreed.
However, the shock in their hearts had not subsided. Thinking back to how Ye Xuan had easily grasped the Demonic Origin Sword, they were somewhat worried.
If all the righteous cultivators could control the Demonic Origin Sword as easily as Ye Xuan, then their so-called trump card, the Evil Sky Sect, would become a joke.
Thus, if given the chance, Ye Xuan must be eliminated. Such a unique talent like Ye Xuan posed a greater threat to the Evil Sky Sect than even Qin Zhenren.
…
Naturally, Ye Xuan was unaware that he had been marked as the greatest threat by the people of the Evil Sky Sect.
At this moment, he was about to return to the Taihua Immortal Sect with Qingxue and Yu Ling’er.
After all, holding such a dangerous item as the Demonic Origin Sword, he felt uneasy not rushing it back to the Taihua Sect.
As for his romantic issues with Hu Qianzao…
Everything had already been said clearly, there was nothing to be confused or hesitant about. The next time they meet, there would be plenty of time for warmth, right?
“Ye Xuan, after the affairs of the Jade Fox Palace are settled, I will come to find you… just wait a little while for me.” Hu Qianzao said to Ye Xuan with a reluctant face.
“Okay.” Ye Xuan nodded and smiled: “It’s also fortunate that you prepared in advance, having the Jade Fox Palace join the Righteous Immortal Alliance, making it easy for us to interact in the future.”
“Yes.” At this moment, Hu Qianzao felt somewhat relieved.
She had previously pushed for the Jade Fox Palace to join the Righteous Immortal Alliance, considering that if one day robbers invaded the Jade Fox Palace, and with the palace’s power unable to withstand them, they could seek help from the Righteous Immortal Alliance.
She hadn’t expected that it would now facilitate her going to find Ye Xuan. However, she had made up her mind to focus on cultivating next.
Although her cultivation level was much higher than Ye Xuan’s, in terms of actual strength, she was far behind him. She had witnessed Ye Xuan’s performance in that battle.
Below the level of immortals, no one was a match for Ye Xuan. To not be a burden to Ye Xuan, she must intensify her cultivation.
“In that case, goodbye.”
To be honest, after finally ending the heartbreaking plot with Hu Qianzao, and just about to start a period of warmth, Ye Xuan was reluctant to leave this little demon.
But, given the current situation in Jade Fox Palace, it was not suitable for him to stay and add to their troubles. After all, due to the invasion of the Evil Sky Sect, Jade Gox Palace had suffered considerable casualties.
“Goodbye.” Hu Qianzao watched Ye Xuan, Qingxue, and Yuling’er leave.
“Palace Master… why don’t you go with Ye Xuan?” Hu Lan, who was standing beside Hu Qianzao, asked her, “You just cleared up the misunderstanding with him.”
“Now is the time to strengthen your relationship. Leave the matters of Jade Fox Palace to Xingyao and Yuluo.”
Hearing this, Hu Qianzao shook her head slightly and said, “I don’t know what it is… When facing Ye Xuan, I clearly feel very guilty and like him a lot. I want to be with him, but I always feel uneasy…”
“I think it’s probably because I don’t have memories of that time… My relationship with Ye Xuan turned too quickly, and… I’m not quite ready yet.”
“Is that so…” Hearing this, Hu Lan frowned slightly.
“Could it be that you like Ye Xuan because of your guilt? What do you really feel about Ye Xuan?”
“I… I like him, not just out of guilt. But… I’m a little scared. Without those memories of Hu Qian’er, I don’t know how to get along with Ye Xuan… I’m afraid that being with him will hurt him.”
“After all… as Wan Yuxin said, maybe Hu Qian’er never really liked Ye Xuan. Otherwise, how could she so easily give up the memories she had with Ye Xuan?”
“So, for now, I dare not meet him. I feel very guilty… Maybe, I need some time to calm down and think about my past with him.” Hu Qianzao replied.
“Memory is also part of a person’s soul. Since Hu Qian’er has already given up her memories, you won’t remember them no matter what you do.”
Hu Lan shook her head and said, “If you force yourself to remember, it will only drive you crazy.”
“Must I really live with this guilt towards Ye Xuan forever?” Hu Qianzao asked unwillingly, “Without Hu Qian’er’s memories… I always feel uneasy.”
“Let the past stay in the past.” Hu Lan said, “Ye Xuan doesn’t mind, so why should you care so much?”
“Yes…” Hearing this, Hu Qianzao responded softly, but her expression betrayed her feelings. Without those memories, she felt too disconnected.
She knew she should love Ye Xuan and that she owed him, but she couldn’t remember those things. She even sometimes wondered if those past events she saw really happened.
Without the foundation of those memories, the things Ye Xuan did for her, though touching and guilt-inducing, also felt somewhat unreal.
If she could remember her time as Hu Qian’er, perhaps she wouldn’t feel this way. While Hu Qianzao was thinking this, suddenly, it felt as if a flash of light burst in her mind, and countless memories began to emerge.
All the moments she had spent with Ye Xuan, their past love, all resurfaced. At this moment, Hu Qianzao’s tears flowed like a spring.
She hadn’t willingly given up on Ye Xuan. It was Wan Yuxin that took her memories away–!!! She had not wronged Ye Xuan, but she had hurt him.
“I… I remember, I remember… Senior Hu Lan, I remember–!!!” Unable to stop her tears, she turned to Hu Lan and said, “I remember my past.”
“You… remember everything?!” Hearing this, Hu Lan was shocked.
