Helian Shi sat down on the spot, looking a bit like a lost child.
Lu Qing tentatively walked over and asked:
"If you don't know what you are, then what about your sister?"
Helian Shi shook his head:
“Helian Xin is not my biological sister. We are both orphans, without parents, and we don’t know where we came from or where we are going. We call each other brother and sister just to have a place to belong.”
"Huh??" Lu Qing scratched his head, looking puzzled.
Helian Shi sighed, and then told Lu Qing about his past.
From the moment he opened his eyes and had memories, he looked like an eight-year-old child, but he knew in his heart that he was not an eight-year-old child.
He has the mindset, psychology, and behavior patterns of an adult, but he doesn't remember where he came from or who he really is.
There was only one thought in my mind—to find Ah Jin!
He spent two years in the orphanage, where he met Helian Xin, and the two then became each other's only family.
Helian Shi searched for A Jin many times, but he never found her.
Until late at night three years ago, he suddenly wanted to go out for some reason, and for some reason he suddenly turned into a secluded alley.
They happened to run into Chu Qianjin, who was being held hostage by the murderer and was almost killed.
The moment he saved him, Helian Shi's heart trembled. He knew that the person in front of him was his Ajin.
Afterwards, because of the life-saving grace, Helian Shi and Chu Qianjin became closer and closer.
Later, Helian Xin was transferred to the police station here and became colleagues with Chu Qianjin. Helian Shi would often use the excuse of visiting his sister to get close to Chu Qianjin from time to time.
After listening to everything, Lu Qing nodded slightly:
"So you approached my third brother and were nice to him only because of the last thought in your mind!"
Helian Shi immediately retorted:
"No! That's not it!"
“At first, I was indeed looking for Ah Jin because I wanted to know who I really was, but when I saw him for the first time, I knew that looking for Ah Jin was not an order but an instinct.”
Lu Qing stroked his chin, pondered for a long time, and then guessed:
"Could it be that you and my third brother have some kind of karmic connection from a past life?"
"Maybe!" Helian Shi replied, head bowed.
Lu Qing was somewhat perplexed. If it were an ordinary person, she could have found out by divining, but it was clear that Helian Shi was no ordinary person.
She could sense a powerful force within him.
Not only can no important information be gleaned from facial features, but even one's destiny cannot be calculated.
His existence seemed illogical.
"How about I go ask the ancestral master for you?" Lu Qing said.
Helian Shi frowned slightly: "The Three Pure Ones? Will they know?"
Lu Qing: "Not necessarily, but we can give it a try."
"Tomorrow is the last day of the holiday. Go to the Taoist temple outside the city and wait for me."
"Will A-Jin go with you?" Helian Shi asked expectantly.
Lu Qing was immediately speechless.
Are you sure you want to let Third Brother know your true identity?
Helian Shi remained silent.
He dared not tell her, fearing that Ah Jin would be afraid of him and leave him if she found out.
Lu Qing knew how to handle this guy, and raised an eyebrow smugly, no longer afraid of him.
"We'll decide whether to tell Third Brother after we find out your true identity."
"Now, get out of my dream right now! I want to sleep!"
Lu Qing put her hands on her hips, striking a pose as if she wanted to chase someone away.
Helian Shi stood up abruptly. His 1.9-meter height instantly brought a great sense of pressure to Lu Qing, who was only 1.6 meters tall.
Lu Qing felt a chill run down his spine, and he stumbled backward, stammering:
"What...what do you want? If you bully me, I'll tell my third brother!"
Under Lu Qing's tense gaze, Helian Shi actually bowed ninety degrees to her in apology:
"I'm sorry! It was my fault just now. You're right, I should extend my love to everything related to you."
Lu Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief and smiled:
"That's more like it!"
After Helian Shi finished speaking, he vanished from Lu Qing's dream.
Lu Qing let out a heavy sigh and patted her pounding heart.
I really don't know why I'm so afraid of Helian Shi.
Without thinking too much, Lu Qing drifted off to sleep and slept until after nine o'clock the next morning.
She got up, washed up, ate some breakfast, and then asked Gu Xicheng to take her to the Taoist temple outside the city.
On the way, Lu Qing told Gu Xicheng about Helian Shi and her third brother.
After listening, Gu Xicheng asked somewhat uncertainly:
"Qingqing, are you saying that some guy, who may or may not be human, has taken a liking to Third Brother?"
Lu Qing nodded: "That's right!"
Gu Xicheng is a straight man, the kind that's straighter than steel bars. When he first heard about this, he said he didn't understand, but he respected it.
When they arrived at the Taoist temple, Helian Shi was already waiting at the entrance.
Seeing the dew on his body, Lu Qing was somewhat surprised:
"You didn't wait here last night, did you?!"
Helian Shi nodded indifferently: "After hearing what you said, I couldn't sleep, so I simply came here to wait."
Lu Qing was speechless.
"Go in!"
Gu Xicheng glanced at Helian Shi and silently moved a little further away from him.
When Abbot Yuan Sha saw Lu Qing again, he greeted him with a fawning smile:
"Master, what brings you to the temple today? Is there anything you need that I can bring to you directly?"
"I need to go ask the patriarch something. You can go play somewhere else and don't bother me!"
"Okay, Master, I'm leaving now!" Yuan Sha nodded repeatedly, then quickly got up and left.
Lu Qing arrived at the main hall where the Three Pure Ones were enshrined and knelt on the prayer mat:
"Grandpa Yuqing, please show your power! Your disciple Lu Qing begs for your help!"
A short while later, the statue opened its eyes:
"Little Lu Qing, what brings you here again?"
"Hehe! Grandpa Yuqing, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you, but there's something I really need your help with," Lu Qing pleaded with a smile.
"Speak, what is it?" Master Yuqing said helplessly.
Lu Qing pulled Helian Shi over:
"Grandmaster, can you tell what it is?"
The Jade Purity Patriarch looked at Helian Shi, but when he met Helian Shi's cold and aloof amber eyes, the Patriarch's eyes visibly trembled.
"What a violent and aggressive spirit!"
Helian Shi stepped forward and asked:
"Do you know what I am and where I came from?"
"Don't rush! Let me calculate it!"
As he spoke, Master Yuqing pinched his fingers together and closed his eyes.
After a while, he opened his eyes and smiled:
"So it was you!"
"Grandmaster, you've figured it out? Who exactly is he?" Lu Qing asked hurriedly.
Master Yuqing smiled and said:
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. Although I know them, I cannot speak of them."
Upon hearing this, Helian Shi could no longer contain himself and rushed forward, unleashing terrifying power from his palm:
"Tell me who I am! Otherwise, I'll smash this idol of yours!"
Lu Qing quickly stopped him:
"Helian Shi, what are you doing! You can't be disrespectful to our ancestral master!"
The Jade Purity Patriarch waved his hand to signal Lu Qing to be quiet, then looked at Helian Shi and said solemnly:
"Kid, I know how you feel. I really can't reveal your story, but I can tell you that the one who tied the knot must untie it. You have to get your memories back in the same way you lost them."
"What do you mean?" Helian Shi asked, frowning.
"Aren't you guys investigating a Gu Master recently? She has a Longevity Gu, which can help you regain your memories."
After saying this, the consciousness of Patriarch Yuqing departed.
