Chapter 219 Why Amnesia

"So it's about this matter." Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Xin'er asked curiously, "What else could it be about?"

As her thoughts wandered, she looked at Mu Qing with a strange look in her eyes: "Are you hiding something from me?"

"Absolutely not!" Mu Qing swore immediately.

He embraced Hu Xin'er and explained, "The reason for my personality change can be traced back to when I was sent back to the Lu family with a changed appearance."

Mu Qing said that when he lost his memory and had his face replaced, he once thought he was Lu Yunjue.

"But that doesn't make sense." Hu Xin'er pointed out the doubtful point, "Back when you were in Shuangxi Village, although you admitted to being Lu Yunjue, your personality was already gentle and introverted back then!"

Lu Yunjue, however, grew up in a prime minister's family, a distinguished young man and a renowned beauty in the capital. He was known for his aloof temperament, yet he was able to navigate the world of renowned masters and the royal family with ease.

No matter which side Mu Qing showed, it had nothing to do with the real Lu Yunjue.

"No, that's just a disguise he puts on in front of others." Mu Qing thought of his brother and sighed softly, "If he really thrived in the capital, he wouldn't want to escape."

Twins are telepathic.

The moment he saw Lu Yunjue, he could clearly feel that this familiar yet unfamiliar person was not as cold and strong as he appeared.

"You mean, Lu Yunjue's true personality is introverted and gentle?" Hu Xin'er was a little unconvinced. "When you lost your memory and became Lu Yunjue, wasn't he already... How did you manage to act like him?"

Everyone who knew Lu Yunjue had a strikingly similar description of him.

Logically speaking, after losing his memory, Mu Qing should have gradually developed into the image that Lu Yunjue showed to outsiders under the correction of others.

Even if telepathy was strong, they were not the same person after all. How could he possibly understand Lu Yunjue's personality firsthand?

In fact, compared to Mu Qing's explanation, Hu Xiner is more inclined to believe that after Mu Qing fell off the cliff, his head was hit, causing the two different memories to become confused and collide, leading to a mild tendency to schizophrenia.

This is exactly why she is worried.

In response to her question, Mu Qing explained, "My aunt is very intelligent and naturally made all the necessary preparations. Before sending me back to the Lu family, she and the Taoist priest instilled all of Lu Yun Jue's behavioral habits in me."

Hu Xin'er understood: "You and Lu Yunjue are born of the same mother, and your personalities are naturally similar. With the infusion of memories and the mysterious telepathy, have you truly become Lu Yunjue?"

"Yes." Mu Qing's expression did not fluctuate much when he talked about this past event.

It seems like being manipulated by your own relatives and living as a substitute for another person is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.

Even if that person is his biological brother.

Hu Xin'er inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable: "So what was your original personality like?"

Mu Qing's expression was filled with reminiscence. "Since I've been traveling with my aunt since I was little, I've developed a straightforward and tough personality. However, after I fell off the cliff again, the two different memories became mixed, and I became confused about my identity."

At this point, he rubbed Hu Xin'er's head with pity: "I'm sorry, I scared you at that time."

Hu Xin'er just said softly: "Idiot."

She didn't expect that Mu Qing's first reaction at this time was to comfort her.

Her mood was complicated and she didn't know how to describe it.

She couldn't help but think, how painful it must have been for Mu Qing when he suddenly discovered that he was not only abandoned by his biological father, but also asked by everyone to be a substitute for his biological brother?

But if these words were asked out loud, it would inevitably tear open the scars in Mu Qing's heart that had finally healed.

So, she swallowed the sob in her throat and returned to the original topic: "No wonder I always felt like you had a split personality at the beginning."

Mu Qing smiled: "But you are still willing to marry me."

This soothed Hu Xin'er's mood. She asked curiously, "Come to think of it, when you were killing bandits like no one else, how did you end up falling off the cliff?"

"This..." Mu Qing hesitated and was unwilling to speak.

Hu Xin'er asked curiously, "Why are you so hesitant about this? Come on, is it like in those martial arts novels, where a killer chases you to the edge of a cliff and you'd rather die than live in disgrace?"

"There's nothing much to say about this." Mu Qing could only manage to say this after a long time.

Hu Xin'er became even more curious. "Could it be that the killers were so heartless that they threatened the innocent villagers, forcing you to reveal your whereabouts? After rescuing the villagers, you were left with no way out and had no choice but to jump off the cliff?"

Mu Qing shook his head.

Hu Xin'er asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the innocent villager is a beautiful woman, so you don't dare to say it? Don't worry, I'm not that stingy!"

Mu Qing said no somewhat embarrassedly, but refused to tell Hu Xiner.

Hu Xin'er shook his arm: "Just say it, just say it~ Husband~ Mu Lang~"

Under her coquettish offensive, Mu Qing was forced to tell the truth: "Actually, that cliff is not a hopeless place. I still have a chance. I slipped and fell when I was being chased..."

"Is there such a thing?" Hu Xin'er was stunned.

Mu Qing said stubbornly, "At that time, I was planning to use the power of an old tree on the cliff to ambush and kill the enemy. I didn't expect that as soon as I climbed up, the tree fell down, and the cliff corner collapsed, and I fell down with it."

"Will the tree fall on you again?" Hu Xiner's mouth twitched. This is too unlucky!

Mu Qing simply blurted out the whole thing in one breath: "No, it's just that I was pierced by branches in many places. After I escaped from there, I went to the stream to heal my wounds, but I lost too much blood and collapsed on the ground."

"You hadn't lost your memory at that time?" Hu Xiner was surprised.

Mu Qing nodded awkwardly. "When I fainted on the ground, I was hit on the back of my head by a sharp rock. Then, when the water level rose, I was carried away by the river. That's why I lost my memory."

I originally thought it was a PUBG escape script, but it turned out to be a comedy script!

Hu Xin'er was amused and distressed, feeling helpless: "Then do you remember who was chasing you back then?"

Mu Qing shook his head again. "They were all masked, so I couldn't see their faces clearly. But their movements were extraordinary, running through the jungle as if it were flat ground. They looked like they were no ordinary people."

The fact that even Mu Qing, who is highly skilled in martial arts, called it strange shows that those people's martial arts skills are extremely good.

And walking on flat ground in a jungle full of thorny bushes sounds very fantastic.

Hu Xin'er thought about it and suggested, "Why don't we go ask Taoist Yiqing and Yin Li? Maybe they know something!"
