Chapter 65: He Huan Sect Master Bai Yueguang 26 Lingyu

After leaving the heaven, Sang Yu was always worried about the fact that the sect leader had lost his memory.

I thought that since Wen Qianning lost her memory at Yundu Lake, maybe I could find some clues there. Besides, it was always a place where merchants gathered and rare treasures circulated. Maybe I could really find a way to restore her memory there.

As soon as this idea came up, he and Ji Ziming hit it off and immediately decided to set off for Yundu Lake.

After three days, they still hadn't reached their destination. They passed through a small town and rested.

Although the town was small, its location at the intersection of several spiritual veins attracted a large concentration of spiritual energy, which over time attracted a large number of cultivators. Consequently, the streets and alleys were filled with markets, and the constant flow of cultivators made the scene extremely lively.

There were stalls everywhere, with all kinds of shouting sounds coming one after another, mixed with the noise of bargaining, which was dazzling. Sang Yu and Ji Ziming asked questions as they walked, and they patiently inquired about anything related to restoring memory.

But after listening to it over and over again, it turned out to be nothing more than the gimmicks of some quacks, exaggerated and unreliable. When you approached and asked them, you would find that they could not restore your memory.

Sang Yu did not give up and continued to inquire carefully from every household, but without exception, he found nothing.

It was not until the evening when the two walked into a tavern that they overheard a conversation.

Several people in coarse cloth clothes were sitting around the table, drinking and chatting.

One of them, his eyes blurry with drunkenness, slammed his hand on the table and mumbled, "Do you know that over at Yundu Lake, there's a female cultivator who carries a strange item that can bring back memories of the past?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone nearby laughed and joked, "I know, but that female cultivator is not someone you can easily mess with, and her brother is extremely protective of her. Who would dare to get close to them? It's just a thought!"

As they talked, they burst into laughter.

However, this drunken remark made Sang Yu and Ji Ziming, who were not far away, look at each other in an instant, and their hearts tightened at the same time.

Is there really someone in this world who possesses a treasure that can awaken memories? Sang Yu was both skeptical and expectant. He had always been cautious when it came to Wen Qianning's affairs, but in the end, he decided to follow the clues and investigate.

Ji Ziming took the lead and stepped forward, bowing politely to the group. He then asked gently, "Seniors, I apologize for interrupting you. I just heard you mention a strange object that can evoke memories of the past. Is this true?"

The drunken wandering cultivator, his face flushed red, immediately shouted, "How could it be fake? When have I ever lied to anyone?" Seeing Ji Ziming's skeptical expression, he patted his chest and continued to talk, "That thing was found in the cave by that brother and sister. At the time, her brother was even infected with a cold poison and his life was hanging by a thread. But somehow, he miraculously recovered. Hey, isn't it incredible?"

"I see..." Ji Ziming seemed to be lost in thought, a polite smile on his face. He then took out a few coins from his purse, gently placed them on their table, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your guidance, brothers. Please accept this small token of your appreciation. This meal will be treated by us."

Several casual cultivators were stunned for a moment, unable to believe that the young man was so generous. Then they smiled and thanked him repeatedly, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

"It seems we still have to go to Yundu Lake..." Sang Yu, who was standing aside, naturally heard the conversation between the few people clearly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Without delay, they followed the clue south immediately after receiving the news.

The two of them traveled carefully along the way, and after a few days, they finally arrived at Yundu Lake.

This place has always been prosperous. As they explored and inquired, they soon heard that a pair of brother and sister had been frequenting the market recently. They had handsome looks and outstanding demeanor, and were very different from ordinary cultivators.

"Brother and sister..." Ji Ziming thought for a moment, "Could it be them?"

Sang Yu also had an intuition in his heart.

At noon, the two met their target in the bustling medicine market.

A young-looking woman stood in front of the stall, with clear features and a sharp mind. The young man next to her looked very similar to her, and it was obvious at a glance that they were brother and sister.

Sang Yu's heart moved slightly, and he nodded secretly to Ji Ziming and walked forward together.

Seeing two strangers walking straight towards her, the woman was stunned for a moment, then glared at them coldly, as if on guard. Her brother even stood in front of them and shouted, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Sang Yu's expression remained unchanged. He bowed and said calmly, "I am Sang Yu, a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. I am sorry to bother you. I just wanted to say a few words to you, young lady."

When she heard the words "Hehuan Sect", the woman's expression changed obviously. She looked up at him, as if to confirm its authenticity.

After a brief silence, she finally spoke: "He Huan Sect...what do you want from me?"

"Excuse me, um... I heard that the young lady has a treasure that can restore memory..." Sang Yu hesitated for a moment, wanting to speak but stopping himself, thinking about how to start, "I wonder if it's true?"

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?" The woman was a little wary and her response was vague.

"There are so many people here and it's hard to hear anyone. Can we talk further?" Ji Ziming bowed and tried to appear sincere.

The two siblings looked at each other and finally agreed: "Okay."

The few of them then went into the lakeside teahouse and found a secluded private room to sit down.

A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of tea, but the atmosphere seemed solemn. Sang Yu cautiously probed and explained the whole story in detail: "To be honest, we are here for our Hehuan Sect's leader... She accidentally hit her head during a fight, and since then her memory has been damaged, and she has forgotten everything in the past. We heard that there might be a magical weapon in the world that can help people remember, so we have been looking for it everywhere. If the girl really has it, we are willing to pay any price in exchange, and we just hope that she can recover soon."

As soon as the words fell, the woman's originally calm expression suddenly changed, and a light of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

"You said, your sect leader?" Her voice suddenly rose, her breathing rapid. "The Hehuan Sect leader, but... Wen Qianning?"

Sang Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that she and the Sect Master must have a past relationship, so she nodded: "That's right."

This confirmation made the woman freeze in place.

After a moment of silence, she came back to her senses, her lips trembling slightly. "My name...my name is Kui Congling. Sister Wen once saved my brother Kui Xing's life. If she and Brother Ji hadn't been willing to help us, giving us that precious chalcedony and personally refining it for my brother...I'm afraid my brother would have been infected by the cold poison and died on the spot."

As he spoke, Kui Congling's eyes gradually turned red.

Kui Xing beside him also nodded slowly: "This kindness, my Kui brothers and sisters will always remember it."

Sang Yu held his breath, and Ji Ziming's expression was also moved.

Kui Congling took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, and without saying a word, reached into his arms and took out a spiritual jade that was as warm and smooth as water.

"This is the spiritual jade we obtained when we entered the cave. It can stabilize the soul and protect the consciousness." Kui Congling lowered his eyes, a little disappointed. "If it can help Sister Wen recover her memory, it would be great."

She raised her eyes with a sincere look and handed the jade to Sang Yu solemnly.

Sang Yu took it and looked at the spiritual jade in his palm, his heart skipping a beat.

"This..." He took it with both hands and bowed solemnly, "Miss Kui, your kindness will be remembered by Sang Yu and the He Huan Sect."

Kui Xing shook his head and retorted, "What kind of favor is this? If it weren't for Miss Wen, how could I be where I am today? Now I can repay you with this gift, but it's just a small repayment."

"Yeah." Kui Congling also chimed in.

After obtaining this magical jade that can restore memory, a big stone in Sang Yu's heart finally fell.

He did not hesitate at this moment. There was only one thought in his mind, which was to send this thing to heaven as soon as possible and hand it over to the sect master to help her recover her memory as soon as possible.

"Brother Sang Yu, can I go to heaven with you?" Kui Congling suddenly spoke, his eyes sparkling.

Sang Yu was stunned and turned his gaze towards her. Kui Congling had a pretty appearance and a childish look of a young girl between her eyebrows.

"I also want to see Sister Wen...see how she is doing now. Besides...I haven't seen her for several years, and I miss her too." She pinched the corner of Sang Yu's clothes and begged pitifully, as if she was afraid that Sang Yu would refuse.

Sang Yu didn't want to bring any strangers with him. The heavenly realm was not the mortal realm, and if outsiders rashly entered, it would inevitably cause trouble.

It was obvious that Kui Congling's eyes were full of sincerity. He and Ji Ziming looked at each other for a moment, pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "Well, you two can come with us on the road."

Kui Congling was delighted and nodded in agreement. Kui Xing was worried about his sister, and knew that she had made up her mind, so of course he would go with her.

So they packed up their belongings and headed straight for heaven.

It was Kui Congling's first time to embark on such a journey, and he felt extremely excited along the way.

She was lively by nature and couldn't hide her thoughts. Soon she was chattering with Sang Yu and Ji Ziming.

"Brother Sang, is your Hehuan Sect very powerful? How do you practice on a daily basis?"

"Sister Wen was so powerful back then, she must be even more different now, right?"

She was just curious at first, and asked a series of questions. As she was talking, she suddenly turned the topic to Ji Hanlin and Wen Qianning, her tone full of girlish longing: "Hey, she and Brother Ji were so close back then, didn't they get married a long time ago and become a Taoist couple?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sang Yu and Ji Ziming were both stunned.

Kui Congling herself was also stuck. Because... she suddenly realized something was wrong: Wen Qianning was the leader of the Hehuan Sect, so logically, he should be in the Hehuan Sect now, so why was he in the heaven?

Kui Congling exclaimed, "Ah!" His eyes widened as he expressed his doubts in surprise: "That's not right, Brother Sang Yu, how could Sister Wen be in heaven?"

Sang Yu had a complicated expression. He was silent for a long time and sighed in his heart.

The matter between the Sect Master and Ji Hanlin was so complex and complicated that it couldn't be summed up in a single sentence. He thought for a long time and could only choose the simplest sentence to say: "Now, Ji Hanlin has... ascended to become an immortal and became the Yaoxuan Immortal Lord."

Upon hearing this, Kui Congling and Kui Xing were stunned.

Of course they had heard of the name of Yaoxuan Immortal Lord. It was spread everywhere in the mortal world that an unknown young man had become the new Yaoxuan Immortal Lord in the heavenly realm.

But she never thought that person would be Ji Hanlin.

"You, you mean... Brother Ji became the Yaoxuan Immortal Lord?!" Her voice changed in tone, she was so shocked that she couldn't believe it.

Upon hearing this news, they were so surprised that they were speechless for a moment. Kui Xing's mind flashed back to the image of the young man standing side by side with Sister Wen. After a long while, he finally uttered, "No wonder... No wonder Miss Wen is in the heavenly realm."
