Watching Zhu Diezhen and Zuo Yingchun look so tense, Ye Yu didn't want to worry them too much.
So he pretended to be calm.
He earnestly looked at the two women.
"I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm familiar with you both. But I just can't remember where I've seen you before."
Zhu Diezhen's face lit up with joy.
Feeling familiar was good enough.
At least he hadn't completely forgotten.
That was already a blessing in disguise.
Zuo Yingchun stood in place.
After pondering for a long while, she stepped forward directly.
She grabbed Ye Yu's right hand and began probing with her spiritual awareness.
Clearly, she wanted to see what had happened to Ye Yu's body.
Had he lost his memory due to injury? Or had he deliberately sealed away his previous memories?
Zuo Yingchun's actions made Zhu Diezhen immediately unhappy.
"What are you doing? Let go of my husband's hand!"
As she spoke, Zhu Diezhen moved to pull them apart.
However, by then Zuo Yingchun had already released Ye Yu.
Her eyes were slightly reddened as she earnestly said, "Do you really not remember me at all?"
Ye Yu suppressed the the urge to hug her.
He said again, "It feels familiar, but I can't recall anything specific about you both. I don't know why."
"It's okay, I'll help you remember."
Zuo Yingchun took a step forward and embraced Ye Yu. She whispered softly, "And I'll also make up for the mistakes I've made."
Just now, Zuo Yingchun had probed Ye Yu with her spiritual awareness. She hadn't found anything unusual.
But memories were mysterious. They could be lost for many reasons.
Even as a reincarnated immortal, Zuo Yingchun couldn't instantly restore someone's memories.
Moreover, even now, Zuo Yingchun couldn't determine whether the time she had spent with Ye Yu before was in dreams or memories from a previous life.
Therefore, she couldn't delve deeply into Ye Yu's "amnesia."
But from Zuo Yingchun's perspective, this seemed like a chance given to her by fate.
She would naturally seize it and ensure Ye Yu wouldn't suffer any harm again.
Zhu Diezhen couldn't bear it any longer.
"Let go! If you dare to hug my husband again without permission, I won't be polite to you!"
Since she had arrived, in just the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Zuo Yingchun had already hugged Ye Yu twice.
This made Zhu Diezhen completely unacceptable.
Why?
You can talk all you want, but why always get physical?
Zuo Yingchun loosened her grip.
She sneered, "Oh? I'd really like to see what impoliteness looks like!"
"Come on then!"
"Come on!"
Zuo Yingchun and Zhu Diezhen faced off, ready to fight again.
Seeing this, Ye Yu said in a deep voice, "Stop! What exactly do you two want to do?"
Seeing Ye Yu angry, Zuo Yingchun and Zhu Diezhen immediately fell silent.
They didn't dare to say another word.
After all, finding Ye Yu was already heaven's favor to them. If they made him angry at this moment, and Ye Yu ignored them from now on, that would be the most painful thing.
So, whether Zhu Diezhen or Zuo Yingchun, they both became very obedient now.
Ye Yu glanced at the two of them.
Seeing his feigned anger actually worked, he continued, "Perhaps we did know each other before. But now, I really can't remember."
"Give me some time. When I remember, I'll come find you!"
"Now, my mission is complete, and I need to return to the Azure Cloud Sect to report."
The expressions of Zhu Diezhen and Zuo Yingchun immediately turned difficult.
But looking at Ye Yu's serious expression, they didn't dare to say much.
They reluctantly left their contact information and departed with lingering reluctance.
However, Zhu Diezhen and Zuo Yingchun didn't leave far.
They remained hidden in the shadows, still observing Ye Yu.
The reason was simple.
They were both guarding against the other trying to approach Ye Yu privately.
If that happened, the one who wasn't there would lose out big time!
Looking at the empty surroundings, Ye Yu couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Phew, the preliminary Shura field is over for now.
But this is just the beginning. The situation in the shura fields to come will definitely not lessen. It might even escalate continuously.
From two people to three, four, or even five.
By then, a simple case of amnesia definitely won't be easily brushed aside.
No, I must think of a way to resolve this properly. Especially with Bu Lingfei and Yun Wuci.
They are definitely representatives of impulsive actions.
If the scenario from the dream repeats itself, what will Ye Yu do then?
This is definitely a question worth pondering.
Ye Yu shook his head slightly.
Just as he was about to call Wei Aoshu to leave together, he suddenly noticed the latter's expression, which became unusually strange.
So he asked softly, "Senior Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Wei Aoshu approached slowly, her expression serious as she asked, "You're not the undercover agent from my Ten Thousand Souls Hall, are you?"
At these words, Ye Yu's toes instantly tensed.
...
Inside the Azure Cloud Sect.
Sect Master Luo Ze summoned Yun Roumu into the main hall.
Looking at his disciple's extraordinarily beautiful face, Luo Ze struggled to find the right words he had been contemplating for a long time.
Once again, he didn't know how to begin.
Being straightforward might hurt.
But remaining silent wasn't an option either.
After all, Ye Yu had already expressed his intention to let go and successfully left the Azure Cloud Sect.
Not seizing this opportunity while the iron was hot would be a decisive failure.
There might not be such a good opportunity in the future.
So, after much deliberation, Luo Ze changed his approach to a very gentle entry point.
"Lately, Ye Yu hasn't come to see you again, has he?"
Yun Roumu blushed.
Though she was a revered Saintess, how could she possibly not hear the news within Azure Cloud Sect?
Even the book "The Unspoken Story of Me and the Saintess"—
Yun Roumu quietly bought a copy to watch alone.
To say it or not...
The author of this book has delicate writing and vivid descriptions, which easily arouses readers' emotions.
If the protagonist wasn't herself, Yun Roumu would want to promote this book.
And, the most crucial point was, who had taken those photos with the memory stone in the first place?
They really looked embarrassing.
Being pinned down by Ye Yu in that pose still made her blush with embarrassment. Thinking about it now still makes her feel a bit hot in the face.
To conceal her embarrassment, Yun Roumu lowered her head slightly and softly said, "Master, actually, Junior Brother Ye and I are innocent. We're not what you imagine us to be."
"Except for the previous outings together, we haven't met privately.'"
Luo Ze snorted twice.
Not what I imagine?
What else could it be?
You've already been caught red-handed, yet you're still trying to be defiant.
My disciple, you've changed.
You've become impure!
However, this could be a good thing.
Being stubborn meant that no matter who asked, she would claim no relationship with Ye Yu.
This way, she could maintain her pure and unblemished image.
Moreover, Yun Roumu and Ye Yu being on the same page means they have let go.
That's the greatest joy.
Luo Ze clasped his hands behind his back and said softly, "A cultivator's life is long, with many encounters. A mistake or two doesn't define anything. Just wait and see, the future will be better!"
These cryptic words left Yun Roumu puzzled.
She was about to ask for clarification when she saw Luo Ze had already disappeared from where he stood.
Yun Roumu's expression turned strange.
The future will be better?
