The next day.
The weather was chilly.
The morning fog had yet to completely disperse. Morning dew still sat atop the tree leaves, sparkling.
Qin Yun walked out of the building with a satisfied expression.
A lady was on each side of him.
“Mr Qin, come again, my sister and I are the best when it comes to the Dao of Emotion.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not a heartless person, we had such an intimate exchange, I would naturally not forget about it.”
He was smiling and was about to loudly declare something when his gaze shifted to a figure under a tree not far away. He had a sudden change in emotion as his smile disappeared.
The lady consoled, “Mr. Qin, what’s wrong?”
“Who’s Mr Qin? I don’t know who you are!”
Qin Yun quickly ran off, pulling up his pants with a serious expression, “I’m a serious person, don’t come near me, I would advise you to retire earlier.”
After that, he immediately turned around and left, acting like a proper gentleman.
When he arrived at that tree, he exclaimed, “Uncle Shi, what a coincidence, you’re here as well?”
It was Shi Ye, who had just fought the last night.
Unmovingly, he said plainly, “Stop pretending, do you think your little tricks can full you Uncle… ”
Shi Ye started coughing.
Qin Yun’s expression changed in a flash as he said with some concern, “Uncle Shi, you’re injured?”
Shi Ye pat Qin Yun on the head, smiling warmly, “I met Tian Yu and Ye Shuanghan last night! We exchanged a few moves, but I can’t believe their cultivation improved by so much in just a hundred years, I… was no match for them.”
As he spoke, his face turned red, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Qin Yun quickly supported Shi Ye, his carefree attitude from earlier disappearing as he said tearfully, “Uncle Shi, nothing will happen to you.”
He knew how Uncle Shi’s temperament was, and because of that, he was anxious and uneasy.
Uncle Shi’s had a fiery temper, even if he lost, he would be shouting about, especially since he had met an enemy. Before, he wouldn’t have stopped screaming and shouting.
His calm demeanor that day could only mean one thing.
His injury… was very heavy! It was severe enough that Uncle Shi could lose his life.
“It’s fine, I’ve lived for countless years, I’ve already come to terms with dying. The only thing I can’t let go of right now is the two of you.”
Shi Ye breathed in, saying, “When you meet your father, tell him to be wary of Tian Yu and his disciple, their cultivation has greatly improved. They definitely have some plot in the works if they’ve appeared at the Xia Kingdom.”
He was already giving his last words.
Qin Yun cried like a child who did not know what to do, “Uncle Shi, nothing will happen to you. Let’s go back to the Empath Sect, they will know what to do!”
“Hahaha, my Primordial Spirit has been extinguished, how could there be a way to treat me?”
Shi Ye smiled, waving it off, “I’ve already notified the Empath Sect, asking them to send some people over to protect the two of you as soon as possible. Don’t cry, it’s already enough for me that I get to talk with you siblings before I die.
“Tell me, how did you awaken the Human Sovereign with just the two of you?”
Qin Yun wiped away his tears, supporting Shi Ye as he said, “Uncle Shi, the situation was like this…”
The two of them walked and talked, and quickly arrived at the courtyard.
Shi Ye was surprised, laughing as he said, “I can’t believe the Deluxe Merit Saint really is as imperious as they say, interesting, how interesting.”
Qin Yun nodded, “I never expected that the man who came with us, a common person at that, was actually the Deluxe Merit Saint, I can’t believe it.”
“However…”
Shi Ye’s eyes had a look of doubt, “Those two wifes of the Deluxe Merit Saint didn’t enter the dream, that’s very strange, are they Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals? Only… how is that possible?”
Qin un lowered his voice, saying, “That’s right, Uncle Shi, my sister seems to be a little different. She sleeps very early every night, and her temperament has changed as well. I keep feeling like… she seems to have recovered her memories.”
“How is that possible? Her Emotional Seed has been stolen, the portion of memories related to love should have disappeared as well. I…”
Shi Ye started to cough again, his expression turned more serious as he let out a long sigh, “I couldn’t properly protect the two of you. Even in my dreams I wish that the two of you will recover. If that day really comes, I’ll die without regrets.”
“All of us are hoping that your sister can recover her memories, only… it’s too hard. You definitely have the wrong idea.
Qin Yun nodded, falling quiet. He obviously understood.
“Oh my.”
At that moment, a door opened and Qin Chuyue emerged from within.
She looked at Shi Ye, feeling the injuries on his body as she exclaimed in shock, “Uncle Shi, you…”
Shi Ye sighed, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you anymore.”
Qin Chuyue pursed her lips, tears falling as she slowly walked to Shi Ye’s side, suddenly saying, “It’s the aura of the Forgotten Love Sword, was the one who hurt you Ye Shuanghan?”
“That’s right, it was Ye…”
Shi Ye suddenly looked up in disbelief in the middle of his sentence, staring at Qin Chuyue with his emotions roaring in his heart.
“Sister, you, you…”
Qin Yun was stunned as well, he pointed at Qin Chuyue as he said in disbelief, “How do you know Ye Shuanghan?”
“Not only do I know Ye Shuanghan, I even know of a stupid girl whose lover stole her Emotional Seed, shattering her dao and putting her life at risk! It was her brother who transferred his cultivation to his sister, causing the brother to not be able to cultivate anymore.”
Qin Chuyue looked at Qin Yun, sobbing as she said, “Isn’t that you, brat?”
“It’s me, I just hope that you won’t prioritize your money over me anymore…”
In the courtyard, the three of them were silent as they let the tears flow.
Shi Ye’s body trembled, coughing as he spat out more blood, “Chu… Chuyue, have you really regained your memories?”
“That’s right, Uncle Shi, I’ve recovered.” Qin Chuyue nodded.
Shi Ye exclaimed, “Good, good, very good! Hahaha… The Heavens have blessed you!”
Qin Yun said curiously, “Sister, how did you do that?”
“It was Mr Li’s lollipop.”
Qin Chuyue said with some surprise, “After I ate Mr Li’s lollipop, I kept on having some strange dreams. Initially, I couldn’t tell if it was real, but as I saw more and more dreams, my cultivation increased rapidly. Slowly, I realized that those dreams were the part of me that I was missing.”
“Now that I think about it, the candies contained the power of love, it’s not something regular candy can do.”
“Loli… pops?” Shi Ye suddenly breathed in a cold breath, his pupils trembling.
“If it recovers your memory, then it’s definitely an immortal candy. Could Mr Li really be the Deluxe Merit Saint?”
He was absolutely an important person!
Qin Chuyue told Shi Ye, “Uncle Shi, don’t die. Wait and see, I’ll definitely take my revenge on Ye Shuanghan, and find out what happened back then!”
“Stupid child, I’m not unbeatable, do you think I won’t die just because I don’t want to?”
Shi Ye shook his head with a wry smile, “I’m already satisfied after seeing you recover. Ye Shuanghan has lost all his emotion after cultivating the Loveless Dao, even I can’t beat him anymore. If you want revenge, you need to be careful.”
Qin Chuyue and Qin Yun stayed by Shi Ye’s side, their hearts aching.
Shi Ye patted their heads lovingly, smiling as he said, “It’s alright, is that Deluxe Merit Saint still around? Being me for a visit, he’s your great benefactor, before I die, I have to win some favor for the two of you!”
After that, with the help of Qin Chuyue and Qin Yun, the three of them walked towards where Li Nianfan was staying.
On the way there, they met Cultivator Yunqiu of the White Cloud Sect, he had the same goal as them.
If the Deluxe Merit Saint had not sacrificed one of his sleeves in the Nightmare, then the White Cloud Sect’s forces would have been wiped out. Furthermore, it was hard to meet a saint of legend, so he naturally needed to pay a visit.
For mythical figures like that, being friendly with them might not always be beneficial, but they absolutely could not afford to have a bad relationship.
When both sides met, they merely nodded in acknowledgement instead of a greeting. They did not bother with pleasantries, and moved forward together.
