From the moment he saw the woman's face clearly, Xiao Boqi felt that he was very familiar with her.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember who this woman was.

The tear that rolled down the corner of the woman's eye, and the despair in her eyes, pierced Qi Boqi's heart.

So he made his move just as Zhou Qingqing's whip was about to strike her cheek.

He couldn't remember who the woman in front of him was, and what frustrated him even more was that he felt like he had forgotten many important people and things.

All he could remember was that he was Ye Boqi, the heir of the Dayang Shenwei Marquis's mansion.

He knew he must have forgotten something very, very important, but he just couldn't remember it.

When the woman heard Ye Boqi ask the question, she bowed deeply to him with endless gratitude on her face.

"This humble woman, Leng Qiuyue, kowtows to express her gratitude to the young master for saving her life."

Leng Qiuyue?

The moment the name left his lips, the feeling of familiarity in Xiao Boqi intensified.

But there are no matching memories in my mind.

"Is there anywhere to go?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Qiuyue quickly replied.

"Qiuyue was studying at Kongtong Academy, but... she has now been expelled from the academy and has nowhere else to go."

"I am seriously injured, and given their modus operandi, I would surely die if I left you, so stay with me for now."

He Boqi had no romantic feelings for the woman in front of him, but as he said, he would make Zhou Qingqing disappear without a trace once he left Zhou Qingqing's father.

Most importantly, keeping this woman might help him remember important people and things that he had forgotten.

The streets were so familiar, and the Marquis's mansion was still so unique.

When they arrived at the main gate of the Marquis's residence, the steward, Soda Lu, still jogged over, carrying his robe.

"Your Highness, where have you been? You don't even have a guard with you. If something happens to you, how can this old servant explain to the Marquis?"

For some reason, this butler, whom he knew so well, gave Ye Boqi a strange sense of familiarity.

It was as if we hadn't seen each other for a long time.

So after the old steward finished speaking, Xiao Boqi gave him an apologetic smile.

"It was my fault. I was worried. I will definitely let you know next time I go out."

Seeing the young master enter the Marquis's residence, Old Man Soda's eyes turned red.

"The young master has grown up and is sensible. The future of the Marquis's mansion is promising, very promising."

In front of the main hall of the Marquis's mansion, a young man with a slightly delicate appearance was pacing anxiously back and forth. When he saw Yi Boqi, the young man excitedly stepped forward.

"Hu Jiu, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

"Your Highness, you're finally back! Madam fell ill again two hours ago, and this time it's much more serious than before. You should go and see her quickly."

Everyone knew that the Lady of the Marquis's mansion was seriously ill and bedridden, and after hearing the news, Yi Boqi rushed to the inner hall.

At the entrance to the back hall, two young girls with red-rimmed eyes were waiting outside the door.

"Little Drummer, how is my mother doing now?"

After more than ten hours, his mother's condition gradually stabilized, and Yi Boqi finally felt relieved.

Now that my father is leading troops on the battlefield, I really don't know what to do if it weren't for my maternal grandfather.

As the Lady of the Marquis's condition gradually improved, laughter gradually returned to the Marquis's residence.

Meanwhile, Leng Qiuyue, who had returned with the prince, began to reveal her exceptional intelligence.

She would remember all of Ye Boqi's preferences and do everything before Ye Boqi gave the order.

In the past, when she was hungry, she would ask Mai Miao to cook for her. Now, as soon as she feels hungry, Leng Qiuyue will put her favorite dishes on the table.

In contrast to Mai Miao's quietness, Leng Qiuyue would often discuss martial arts and ancient and modern classics with Yi Boqi.

This only fueled Ye Boqi's growing interest in the woman, and at times he even felt that she was his soulmate.

But the feeling that I had forgotten the most important thing was also growing stronger.

Sometimes, Yi Boqi felt like his mind was about to explode, but he still couldn't remember anything.

As time went by, Leng Qiuyue's status in the Marquis's mansion rose higher and higher, and her father, who was a deputy civil official in a remote town, was also brought to the capital of Dayang Kingdom.

Everything seemed to be unfolding according to the script from the previous life.

After Leng Qiuyue completely bewitched Ye Boqi, she began to squander the resources of the Marquis's secret treasury to pave the way for Ye Chen.

In the end, they joined forces with the Dayang royal family to wipe the Shenwei Marquis's mansion from the world.

If things continue to develop this way, everything will return to the unbearable past, without any change whatsoever.

Inside the true Nine Heavens Secret Realm, Zhang Mancang, holding Zhang Dachou in his arms, sat with his father Zhang Fugui in a pavilion atop a mountain.

Below the mountain, however, lay a vast expanse of misty fog.

There, a formation was created by pooling the power of all the members of the Zhang family patriarch, mimicking the illusionary formation of the boundary battlefield.

"Save the son-in-law, he's trapped."

Three-year-old Zhang Dachou pointed at the misty air and shouted at Huang Boqi, who was sitting cross-legged on a large rock with a furrowed brow.

The child's voice, uttered from open-crotch pants, made Zhang Mancang and Zhang Fugui laugh simultaneously.

"Don't worry, the young master is fighting against his inner demons. If he wins, he will be reborn. Even if he loses, his life will not be in danger."

"But if he loses, his path of cultivation will be cut off, and he will find it difficult to make any further progress."

Zhang Dachou couldn't understand such profound words, but he was relieved to hear that Xiao Boqi wouldn't die.

"You should go back first. The formation is only just beginning. The real challenge this kid faces is yet to come."
