Chapter 704: Destroy the Primordial Spirit Land in One Strike

Looking at the talisman in his hand, Ye Guan couldn't help but smile. Having money made things so much easier!

"Thanks," Ye Guan said.

Qing An nodded slightly, glanced at Ye Guan, then turned and left.

Ye Guan turned to Qing Dai. "Let's head in."

The two walked toward the temple.

As soon as they entered, Ye Guan felt a gaze. Following it, he found an old scholarly man wearing a wide black robe and holding a feather fan. Silence permeated the room as the old man stared at Qing Dai.

After a while, a hint of complexity flashed in the old man's eyes. "You're back."

"Can you restore my memory?" Qing Dai asked.

The old man's lack of reply made Qing Dai frown.

Finally, the old man asked, "You sealed your memories likely to forget some unpleasant things. Are you sure you want them back?"

Qing Dai nodded. "Yes."

The old man shook his head. "I'll give you three days to think about it."

Instead of objecting, Qing Dai simply remained silent.

The old man then looked at Ye Guan. "Do you have a relationship with the First God?"

Noticing Ye Guan's surprise, the old man smiled. "Are you his inheritor?"

"How did you know, Senior?"

"You have the Divine Painting of the First God."

Ye Guan was astonished. The Divine Painting was in the Little Pagoda, which had concealment abilities, yet the old man still sensed it. It seemed that the pagoda needed to be upgraded.

"How is Ruo Ming?" the old man asked.

After a moment's hesitation, Ye Guan answered, "Sister Ruo is not particularly well."

"Sister Ruo?"

"Yes. She recognized me as her brother."

The old man's gaze softened slightly. Noticing this, Ye Guan asked, "Senior, is Sister Ruo...?"

The old man smiled. "I am her father."

Ye Guan and Qing Dai were stunned.

"Father? Ruo Ming is also from the Primordial Spirit Clan?" Ye Guan queried.

"Yes. She's half Primordial Spirit..."

"Half?"

The old man nodded. "Her mother is human."

Ye Guan fell silent. Honestly, he was very surprised. He didn't expect Ruo Ming to be from the Primordial Spirit Clan.

"At first, I thought you were her..." the old man trailed off. However, his expression made it easy for Ye Guan to guess what he was thinking.

"I really am just her recognized brother. Why did you think otherwise?"

The old man chuckled. "Because she has always resented me. Even when she was imprisoned, she never spoke to me... yet she asked you to come find me."

Ye Guan fell silent, feeling mixed emotions.

The old man continued, "It's clear she cares about you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked you to find me."

"Why did you imprison her, Senior?"

The old man shook his head. "The Primordial Spirit Law was the one who sealed her."

"That depends on you."

Qing Dai lowered her head slightly.

"Are you afraid you'll become a different person?" Ye Guan joked.

"I'm sure I will change. If I do become someone else and end up hurting you verbally... please don't hold it against me!"

Ye Guan fell silent. Qing Dai looked at him, waiting for a response.

"What if your words really hurt me?" Ye Guan replied seriously.

Qing Dai blinked. "Endure it."

Ye Guan laughed. "No, I won't be able to."

Qing Dai also chuckled. Seemingly coming to a realization, she then suddenly took out a jade pendant and handed it to Ye Guan. "Here, for you."

"What's this?"

"I'm not sure either, but it's been with me all along. I suppose it must be something important to me."

Ye Guan fell silent.

Qing Dai continued, "Anyway, thank you so much for bringing me here. I may not be able to control myself after regaining my memories, but I hope I remember this favor you've done for me. I also hope the future 'me' will remember it. If I forget, I apologize in advance. Please don't be angry."

After a moment of silence, Ye Guan put away the jade pendant. "Alright."

Qing Dai's lips curved into a smile. Ye Guan, however, felt somewhat worried because he felt that Qing Dai had already sensed something about her past. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. Despite knowing that the path ahead might not be a good one, one still often had to proceed.

The two chatted under the ancient tree for a long, long time, discussing everything.

"Young Master Ye, you said you were fostered, didn't you? What about your family?"

"Hmm?"

"Is this a tradition of the Yang family?"

"Sort of, yeah."

"Your aunt seems dangerous..."

"Plain Skirt Aunt? She's actually quite easygoing..."

"Do you think she could destroy the Primordial Spirit Land with one sword strike?"

"Uh... I'm not really sure, but given the chance, she'd most likely try to..."

...

The next day, Ye Guan and Qing Dai returned to the Primordial Spirit Temple.

The Wise Master looked at Qing Dai. "Are you sure?"

Qing Dai nodded.

In response, the Wise Master opened his hand, making a seal slowly float out from his palm. "The technique you used to seal your memories is called the Forgetting Technique. I will now lift it off you. Don't resist it."

Qing Dai nodded. "Okay."

Under the control of the Wise Master, the seal floated to the top of Qing Dai's head and sent mysterious powers flowing down from it. Soon, Qing Dai slowly closed his eyes, and the seal disappeared.

Ye Guan stared at Qing Dai. When she showed no reaction, he turned to the Wise Master.

The Wise Master smiled faintly. "Almost there."

Sure enough, Qing Dai slowly opened her eyes.

"Qing Dai, how do you feel?" Ye Guan hurriedly asked.

Qing Dai suddenly turned to him and grabbed his throat, her gaze cold and sharp. "Who are you to call me Qing Dai?"

Ye Guan didn't know what to say.
