Chapter 91 The Female Lead Loses Her Memory
Chapter 91 The Female Lead Loses Her Memory
"You may not believe it, but I really have no purpose."
Ancestor Hongyu sighed deeply, her eyes filled with vicissitudes. "Lingya kept your departure from Tianyi Sect a secret. No one knew anything about it. I only discovered that you had left after I came out of seclusion and observed the stars at night. Because I was really worried, I asked Yue to check on you."
"You're not planning to take me back? Isn't your goal to get me close to that demon and save the world?"
Su Luo was confused.
The old man Lingya was extremely arrogant, forcing the people of Tianyi Sect to take her back, completely disregarding her wishes. Hongyu, another Nascent Soul Ancestor, was different. She neither forced Feng Xiyue and the others to take her back to Lingxiao Sect, nor did she personally intervene; she even risked her own life to tell her the truth.
Is there really a Nascent Soul cultivator in this world who would be so kind?
"That was the original plan, but... after reversing time, many things have changed. Our cultivation has regressed, and even the four of us combined cannot withstand that Heavenly Demon. Moreover, I cannot guarantee whether you would survive if you came into contact with the Heavenly Demon in your current state. Therefore, I will not force you to do anything, after all, saving the world is not your responsibility. This was originally just our meager hope..."
Su Luo twitched the corner of her mouth.
Unexpectedly, in this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, besides Chu Wenqing and her group, there are actually powerful figures in the cultivation world who care about her safety...
Ancestor Hongyu calmly took a sip of tea. "Don't worry, Lingya won't bother you anymore, and I will also help you fend off the remaining two. From now on, you can do whatever you want, and no one will stop you."
Su Luo couldn't help but ask, "Then don't you care if this world is destroyed again?"
Her feelings were very complicated at that moment.
She loathed that Heaven had dragged her into the novel against its will, making her save the world; she also resented arrogant cultivators like Lingya Ancestor and Qingya Zi who arbitrarily manipulated her life! So she chose to leave the land of strife and find a secluded paradise to hide away.
But when she actually met the righteous and compassionate Hongyu Patriarch, who cared deeply for the world, and heard how he was thinking of her, she felt a sense of shame and inferiority rising within her.
Everyone was desperately trying to save the world. Even Chu Wenqing, who transmigrated into the book with her, fought on the battlefield to protect her sect in her previous life. Only she felt that this world had nothing to do with her from beginning to end. So she covered her eyes and ears, pretending that she knew nothing, only thinking about hiding and not caring about the lives of others...
Upon hearing this question, Ancestor Hongyu sighed softly, then turned to look at the scenery outside the window, her eyes filled with worry for the world.
"Perhaps this is destiny. This world is destined to be destroyed by the Heavenly Demon... We are powerless to stop it, and can only do our best to prepare for the coming dark age..."
Su Luo remained silent.
The Heavenly Demon, it's the Heavenly Demon again! Why does that damned guy have to destroy the world?!
Thinking of her experiences in her previous life, those strange dreams, and the time she encountered the Heavenly Demon in the human realm, Su Luo couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you start with the Heavenly Demon? Aren't you a diviner? How come you couldn't divine the Heavenly Demon's true identity?"
"Some people have extraordinary destinies that cannot be divined, because it is a restriction that Heaven forbids mortals to know."
Ancestor Hongyu paused, staring at Su Luo with a strange look, but what she said sent chills down Su Luo's spine: "For example, that Heavenly Demon, or Chu Wenqing, or you, Su Luo."
The look in her eyes, which seemed to see right through her, made Su Luo feel very uncomfortable, and even a little flustered.
How much does she actually know?
Ancestor Hongyu blinked, regained her normal expression, and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't say anything, because... someone won't allow it."
As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at the ceiling.
Su Luo understood that she was telling her that even if she knew everything, she couldn't say it due to the restrictions of Heaven, and only then did she feel slightly relieved.
But soon her mood became somewhat heavy again.
She was unwilling to sacrifice herself to save the world, and the Red Jade Ancestor and the others were unable to identify the Heavenly Demon and thus eliminate him. The situation reached a dead end, and everyone could only watch helplessly as the Heavenly Demon destroyed the world…
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"It's getting late."
Ancestor Hongyu stood up. "Su Luo, I called you here today only to answer your questions. Don't feel burdened, just live your life as you please. If anyone forces you to do something you dislike, you can come to me, and I'm willing to help."
Su Luo also stood up. Hearing the thoughtful words of Ancestor Hongyu, her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing and simply bid farewell softly.
"I understand. Take care."
After saying that, Su Luo gave the other person a deep look, then turned around and summoned the Wind Chaser to leave.
After Su Luo left, the Crimson Jade Ancestor finally suppressed her smile and murmured to herself, "Everything has its proper place, and life should be lived according to fate. All things have their place, and everything has its cause and effect. It's best to go with the flow. Perhaps, this is the will of Heaven..."
She slowly walked back to the thatched hut and sat down, taking out a tortoise shell with four large characters written on it: "Let nature take its course."
Hongyu Laozu lowered his eyes.
Ever since time reversed, every time she divined about saving the world, she received the same answer, without fail. Since that's how it is, then so be it. She won't do anything; she'll just stay by that strange girl's side...
……
On the day the Cloud Realm opened, it was a grand event, with almost half of the Spirit Realm flocking to the foot of the mountain to watch. Major sects and families also sent their best disciples to participate, and everyone was eager to compete with each other.
Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue followed behind their master, watching their master and the other sects exchange veiled sarcasm and back-and-forth banter. Just as they were getting bored, Feng Xiyue nudged Chu Wenqing, signaling him to look in a certain direction.
“Look over there.”
"What are you looking at?"
Chu Wenqing looked over, puzzled, and immediately spotted Qin Xiu in his flashy red shirt. He curled his lip in disdain, "It's just Qin Xiu..."
But before he could finish speaking, his eyes narrowed.
Qin Xiu was seen talking to a female cultivator in white, who looked up and revealed a stunningly beautiful face.
“Ning Wanshuang…”
How come she is here?!
Feng Xiyue naturally knew what Chu Wenqing was surprised about. She glanced around and whispered, "When I saw her just now, I thought I was seeing things. I didn't expect it to really be her. In fact, I also heard some news about her that you'll definitely find interesting."
Chu Wenqing was naturally very interested. "What?"
To everyone's surprise, Feng Xiyue said something astonishing: "I heard that Ning Wanshuang has lost her memory."
Chu Wenqing's eyes widened.
What?! The female lead has amnesia?!
