Chapter 144: The Ancient Savage World, Long Aotian

"Hah! Ha! Hey!"

Luo Nan stood in front of a group of little kids with his hands clasped together. He swept his majestic gaze over them, and the little kids immediately waved their hands and feet more vigorously.

She nodded in satisfaction and announced, "Not bad. That concludes today's morning class."

With a burst of cheers, the children quickly scattered like birds. Luo Nan laughed and shook her head. She then looked at Ye Luoying, who had been waiting obediently for a long time, and softened her tone and asked, "You've been following me these past few days. Tell me, what's going on?"

Ye Luoying suddenly cried out in grievance: "Sister, of course I just want to accompany you, how can I ask anything of you?"

Luo Nan just smiled and said nothing.

Ye Luoying blinked his eyes, maintaining an innocent look as he stared at her. Suddenly, he smiled easily, his eyebrows curved, "Okay, I do have a request for you, sister."

Luo Nan had an expression that said, "Just as I expected." She raised her chin and said, "Come with me."

They arrived at a rarely visited courtyard. The Xiantian Sect occupies a vast territory, with countless hidden tranquil spots within, but a courtyard as secluded as this was rare. Luo Nan paused, turned, and suddenly leaned in to look closely at Ye Luoying's face. She examined it closely.

Ye Luoying still had a faint smile on his lips. He was not frightened or anything by Luo Nan's sudden action. On the contrary, he even turned his face to let Luo Nan see more clearly and asked, "How is it?"

"Even my eyes can't see the problem, so it's only because you can fool this old man." Luo Nan showed a hint of pride. "My eyes are no worse than Wentian's."

"Hey, that's amazing——" Ye Luoying clapped her hands in cooperation, "Sister, are you going to expose me?"

He asked this, but there was no panic on his face, and his smile was still bright and clear.

Luo Nan curled her lips: "Stupid, now that I've said this, I will definitely not expose you. Although I don't know what your purpose is, it has nothing to do with me. Besides..." She hoped that Ye Luoying would turn the Xiantian Sect upside down so that she could take the opportunity to escape.

With the leader around, she couldn't escape no matter what.

Thinking of the so-called arrangement, Luo Nan couldn't help but feel disgusted, and there was a hint of disgust on her face. Ye Luoying saw it, but she quickly restrained her expression.

However, even though she had no grudges against him, Luo Nan couldn't help but feel a little curious. She speculated, "Is it because you're looking for revenge and this is just an excuse? There are quite a few people who have a mortal feud with the Xiantian Sect."

Sometimes when she went out to gain experience, she would be in trouble. She really suspected that she, the saint, was attracting hatred for the old man. She didn't enjoy any benefits, but had to bear all the blame.

As for Ye Luoying's so-called search for someone, in Luo Nan's opinion, it was a lame excuse that couldn't be any lameer. At the very least, she had to pretend to be someone. Look at what Ye Luoying has done since he entered the Xiantian Sect. He's either been hanging out in the library or hanging around her. Isn't this looking for someone?

Ye Luoying was moved when he heard Luo Nan's words. He changed the words he wanted to say and replaced them with another sentence: "Oh, how could the Xiantian Sect, as a famous and righteous sect, be so hostile to so many people?"

Luo Nan said disdainfully: "People from famous and righteous sects with big fists still claim to be good people. Haha." The word "haha" said it all. Considering that he still had to make a living under the Xiantian Sect, Luo Nan still tactfully said:

"In short, don't expect too much from the Xiantian Sect. You'll be disappointed." The Xiantian Sect claims to be celestial, but lacks the nobleness of an immortal. Within the sect's jurisdiction, there isn't a single green mountain without the remains of unknown people buried beneath it.

Ye Luoying chuckled softly, "I've been disappointed with it for a long time. Sister, you're right, I'm really seeking revenge."

See, I was right.

Luo Nan didn't say anything, but the expression on her face betrayed her completely. Ye Luoying smiled even more happily. He said mischievously: "But sister, I am indeed here to look for someone."

Looking for someone, you still hang around me every day

Wait, Luo Nan’s pupils widened in an instant.

Ye Luoying tilted his head, and amid the leaves slowly falling from the ancient tree, he said to Luo Nan in a clear and innocent voice: "Sister, it's you I'm looking for."

In the silence, the wind swirled by, took a quick glance at the two motionless people, and walked away with doubts in mind.

The cry of surprise was earth-shattering.

"That's impossible!"

Realizing that his voice was too loud, Luo Nan quickly lowered his voice and said again: "This is impossible."

Her expression was solemn and serious, as if she didn't believe it at all.

Ye Luoying just asked softly, as if coaxing a little bird that refused to hatch: "Why not, sister?"

"Because, because..." Luo Nan couldn't explain it for a moment. In a hurry, she blurted out: "I grew up here since I was a child. I have never seen you before."

"Oh, really? Then how about this?"

Ye Luoying's facial shape slowly changed, and his bones shifted bit by bit. His appearance became more flawless, and his eyebrows and eyes became more outstanding. In Luo Nan's opinion, his previous appearance was nothing more than a handsome young man, but with a unique temperament.

Gu Jingyao, who changed into his true appearance, exuded an aura of calmness like a heavy mountain. Although his expression was gentle, for some reason people dared not look directly at him.

Facing Luo Nan, he raised his lips, and the emperor-like aura of majesty faded away. At first glance, he was just another well-behaved and handsome boy, not like someone with the ability to move mountains or the power to dominate the world.

Luo Nan stared at him blankly, and without realizing it, tears suddenly flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"You..." It's great to be still alive.

Gu Jingyao was also stunned, but then his expression relaxed and he replied softly, "Yes, I'm here." I'm fine, sister.

A sudden surge of emotion was about to overflow, but was trapped by an invisible barrier. Luo Nan closed her eyes, feeling a little dazed for a moment, but she searched her memory and was sure that she had never seen the person in front of her. But why, when she saw him, she felt happy and sad, angry and relieved?

Luo Nan couldn't help but take a step back and hold his forehead. Suddenly, the world in front of his eyes was spinning and beads of sweat kept pouring out of his forehead.

"Sister!"

"Host! Oh, I told you not to provoke her!" The system couldn't help but blame Xiaolong Aotian in a hurry.

Gu Jingyao pursed his lips tightly. He hurried forward to support Luo Nan, but Luo Nan blocked his way with her hands. She covered her head in pain and opened her eyes. There was a golden flame dancing in her eyes. She said word by word: "There is something wrong with my memory, right?"

Gu Jingyao didn't say it was right or wrong. Seeing Luo Nan in such pain, he couldn't help but blame himself in his heart: This memory doesn't have to be recalled. Doesn't it mean that she is not his elder sister if she has no memory?

He nodded and shook his head: "Sister...or, let's just forget it."

"No!" Luo Nan insisted. Even though her head was still throbbing with pain, she still said firmly, "I want to remember."

Since the unknown mirror was broken, the memories engraved in my mind in the past have been stripped of the white veil, becoming more and more hazy, with blurred details like a low-quality and old movie.

Luo Nan sneered at himself: I actually believed in such a simple and flawed memory.

But memory itself will fade. Sometimes people are not even sure about what happened a month ago. Except for some rare geniuses, who can remember their memories clearly from beginning to end, including every detail?

Maybe someone will say, but in these three years, you are Luo Nan.

But Luo Nan's answer to this was that Luo Nan was her, and she was also the same person three years ago or even longer ago. She was herself, and nothing would change because of whether she had memories or not. She wanted to regain her memories in order to find a truer self and not to worry the people she knew in the past.

In this regard, the system also underestimated Luo Nan. This soul that had experienced so many things, and the self imprinted deep within it, could no longer be deeply affected by superficial memories.

Luo Nan held Gu Jingyao's hand, her eyes firm and powerful: "Tell me about my past."

It felt strange to listen to someone else telling her story—or perhaps "her" story. The "her" in Gu Jingyao's mouth was a little different from the self she knew.

Luo Nan knew herself well. She was not a very patient person. She was gentle most of the time when facing the children of Xiantian Sect because she was not the one who really took care of these children. It was a little hard for her to imagine that she could be so patient in taking care of a child.

"I really didn't beat you," Luo Nan couldn't help but ask. She didn't quite believe it.

Gu Jingyao paused strangely for a moment, but still firmly chose "no".

Luo Nan still didn't believe it. If it was a younger sister, she might not do it, but if it was a younger brother, she would definitely use simple means to give him a simple education.

Luo Nan didn't dwell on this question. She frowned and thought about it carefully, then shook her head: "No, I still don't have any impression."

Gu Jingyao observed her expression with some concern, wanting to give up several times but swallowing his words back. He had clearly been the one who desperately wanted Luo Nan to recover her memory, but now, he was the one who didn't want to go through with it.

"I feel something is wrong." The system suddenly spoke.

Gu Jingyao frowned slightly. He was still not used to having something talking in his mind. His domineering attitude wanted to drive out everything that was out of his control. He asked, "What's wrong?"

The system observed for a few more minutes, this time even more meticulously, searching for the remaining trace of the soul's contract, constantly increasing the resonance frequency. Finally, it concluded, "There's something wrong with the host's sea of ​​consciousness. It's not that she can't remember, but something is preventing her from remembering."

Gu Jingyao frowned now: "Since you can find it, do you have a solution?"

this……

System Na Na: "You know, I'm just a system."

Gu Jingyao:......

At this moment, his mood was the same as Gu Lingnan's many years ago. They were both in the same system, so why was there such a huge gap?

After being informed by the system, he naturally knew the great magical powers of the [System] possessed by Gu Yuanming.

Over there, Luo Nan racked her brains but couldn't remember, so she decided not to embarrass herself. She gave up for the time being, took Gu Jingyao's hand and said to him:

"Actually, Fu Xingchi came to me before and asked me to kill someone, saying that only I could kill this person."

She said calmly, "Now it seems that person is you."

Gu Jingyao was shocked.
