Chapter 47 Chapter 47 I Can't Accept This
(Chapter 45/46 has been overhauled, please reread)
Pei Zichen's dream is to be Shen Yuqing.
This incident shocked Jiang Zhaoxue greatly.
She looked at Pei Zichen with complicated eyes. Pei Zichen seemed not to recognize her. He just stood in front of her with a sword in hand, as if he wanted to say something, but he remained silent.
This attitude made Jiang Zhaoxue confused and puzzled. He didn't remember her?
But according to Ye Tianjiao, only those who are related to the Lingxu Fan will not remember what happened outside.
Song Wuya was the owner of the Lingxu Fan, Qian Sisi was the one who opened it, but what about Pei Zichen? Why didn't he remember it either?
Jiang Zhaoxue was thinking. Pei Zichen lowered his eyes and looked at the ground. After thinking for a long time, he said, "If everything is fine... Miss Jiang, please go back first. I... I have something to say to you."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened and nodded blankly. There was too much information and she could hardly digest it all.
But as soon as she mentioned going back, she suddenly remembered: "Where is Tianjiao?"
Hearing the word "prodigy", Pei Zichen felt as if his heart was suddenly tightened by a rope.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, pursing his lips in silence.
At this time, Ye Tianjiao was dragged back. He said weakly, "Don't pull me. If you want to help me, please help me well. Please, I beg you. I'm injured."
“Senior Brother!”
The two disciples dragged Ye Tianjiao and threw him to the ground. When Ye Tianjiao saw Pei Zichen, his eyes immediately lit up: "Brother..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Sisi stepped on Ye Tianjiao's head and crushed him into the ground.
Jiang Zhaoxue's heart skipped a beat when she saw Qian Sisi's movements. She couldn't help but ask, "Um... Sisi, he's a cultivator, so he's quite fragile. Could you... could you please not hit him like that?"
"Ah," Qian Sisi immediately moved her hands and feet upon hearing this, a smile on her face, "Miss Jiang, I'm sorry, I'm used to it. But don't worry, since I hit him, I will definitely take responsibility for him. So, you follow Brother Yu Jian back first, I--" Qian Sisi pulled Ye Tianjiao, revealing his face covered in mud and bleeding from his nose, and vowed, "I will take responsibility for taking him back!"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue became even more worried.
She always felt that Qian Sisi would secretly kill Ye Tianjiao.
Ye Tianjiao obviously felt the same way, but he felt like a small knife was secretly pressing against his neck, and he didn't dare to speak.
Seeing that Ye Tianjiao did not resist, Jiang Zhaoxue hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Then... let's do it this way."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Pei Zichen and said hesitantly: "Shen Daojun..."
Hearing this, Pei Zichen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and Qian Sisi hurriedly said, "Miss Jiang! You used to call our senior brother Achen!"
Jiang Zhaoxue paused, and Pei Zichen said hurriedly, "It's okay. I've heard about Miss Jiang's injury. The miasma is still in the forest, and it's not safe. Miss Jiang, please hold the scabbard of your sword while I take you back."
"Oh." Jiang Zhaoxue heard it without hesitation and raised her hand to grasp Pei Zichen's scabbard.
Pei Zichen froze when he saw that she did not hesitate. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he dared not say a word.
He used to be so polite, but the man before him always got upset. He would push his scabbard away, shake his hand, and say, "We're getting married soon, why are you still so old-fashioned?"
He usually didn't refuse because he really wanted to hold her back.
But they weren't married yet, so if he took the initiative, it would be disrespectful. Even asking would be offensive. So he could only passively wait and passively accept.
But now that the woman in front of him didn't take the initiative to pull him, he realized how painful it was when this kind of silent waiting was not satisfied.
What's even more terrifying is that he was abandoned after his habits were satisfied, which made him feel like he was being rolled through a needle tube.
He no longer felt the pain from the wounds on his body, and his head was in a mess. He forced himself to remain calm, grasped the scabbard, flew up on the sword, and took Jiang Zhaoxue back.
The two of them walked in silence all the way, and Jiang Zhaoxue quietly looked at the person in front.
Because she was blind before, she had no clear feeling. Now, looking at the young man in front of her who was obviously much taller than her, she finally had a clear sense of reality.
He has grown up.
He no longer had the childish look of his youth, but instead had the edges and corners of a mature man. He even seemed to be taller than Shen Yuqing. Just looking at his back, he vaguely looked like a god who could support an immortal gate.
She looked at him secretly. Pei Zichen noticed her gaze and didn't dare to look back.
In fact, he knew what he should ask and should ask clearly, but he was afraid of asking some scary answers, so he could only put it off for a while.
The two returned in silence. As soon as they landed, Jiang Zhaoxue began to look for Ye Tianjiao: "Where's Tianjiao?"
Pei Zichen finally couldn't contain himself anymore after hearing the constant calls of "prodigy". He whispered, "Don't worry, Miss Jiang. Sisi knows what's going on. Young Master Ye will be fine."
"Oh," Jiang Zhaoxue realized that she was too worried and seemed a little distrustful of Qian Sisi, so she quickly smiled and said, "Sisi, I am definitely relieved, but Ye Er is a person who easily makes people angry, so I am worried about Ye Tianjiao."
"Miss Jiang..." Pei Zichen lowered his eyes and said with some difficulty, "Are you familiar with Master Ye?"
"Uh...it's okay." Jiang Zhaoxue hesitated, "I have some understanding."
"Miss Jiang remembers him." Pei Zichen confirmed.
Jiang Zhaoxue nodded: "Not bad."
"But Miss Jiang..." Pei Zichen said, raising his eyes, his blue-black eyes looking at her quietly, "but you don't remember me."
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
How could she remember?
Who else could experience the illusion as immersively as he did? She also wanted to ask him how he had such memories of this place since childhood!
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't dare to speak. Pei Zichen, seeing her embarrassment, realized what he had said. He turned away awkwardly and whispered, "Sorry. As long as Miss Jiang is okay, then you can rest."
As he said this, he seemed to have reached the limit of his patience and left in a hurry.
Jiang Zhaoxue glanced in his direction, and then heard Ye Tianjiao's voice coming from the sky.
Jiang Zhaoxue glanced over and saw Ye Tianjiao being thrown down by Qian Sisi. Then the people from Wenjian Villa landed one after another. Qian Sisi smiled and saluted: "Miss Jiang."
"Uh..." Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at Ye Tianjiao, who was obviously battered, and said hesitantly, "Miss Qian, you have been..."
"Miss Jiang, are you going to sleep?"
Qian Sisi asked immediately. Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at Ye Tianjiao on the ground and began to use gestures to quietly hint that he should come over later. Then she nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to sleep first."
Having said that, Jiang Zhaoxue turned around decisively and closed the door himself.
After the door was closed, Jiang Zhaoxue finally recovered and asked in shock, "What's going on?"
How could Pei Zichen be Chen Chen?
She couldn't figure it out and planned to wait for Ye Tianjiao to come over to discuss it.
Late at night, Jiang Zhaoxue heard the sound of someone scratching at the window. She quickly turned off the light and went to the window. She raised her hand to open the window and saw Ye Tianjiao squatting at the door. Jiang Zhaoxue looked around and called out to Ye Tianjiao, who was covered in talismans, "Come in quickly."
Ye Tianjiao quickly climbed into the house and began to apply talismans. Jiang Zhaoxue immediately pressed down on him and said anxiously, "Let people feel your spiritual power in this room. They won't even need to think about it to know you're in there!"
"That's right."
Ye Tianjiao nodded and continued to stick his invisibility talisman. He sat cross-legged on the ground and panted, "You don't know, that bitch Qian Sisi almost beat me to death. If I stay here any longer, I will really die."
"What should we do then?"
Jiang Zhaoxue also sat down and said anxiously: "Qian Sisi and Pei Zichen are here, but Pei Zichen doesn't remember anything."
"How is that possible?" Ye Tianjiao couldn't understand, "He has nothing to do with the Lingxu Fan."
"The facts have already happened. Anything is possible with him." Jiang Zhaoxue advised, "The key point now is that he is Chen Chen, my fiancé, and we are getting married soon. I can't marry him, right?!"
This question made Ye Tianjiao a little confused: "Why not?"
"I..." Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned by his rational question, then reacted, "I am his master's wife, and I am marrying him? Are you crazy or am I crazy?"
“But…” Ye Tianjiao pondered, “Isn’t this an illusion?”
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned, and Ye Tianjiao continued, "Anyway, no one will remember these things after we get out. What does it matter if you're his mistress? The focus now is the Lingxu Fan. Look, Pei Zichen is at Wenjian Villa, and Qian Sisi is also at Wenjian Villa. There were many strange phenomena before the Lingxu Fan was born. When it happened, the entire Shuzhong Immortal Path was almost wiped out. Now Wenjian Villa is already hunting monsters. In other words, Wenjian Villa has been involved in the birth of the Lingxu Fan from the beginning to the end?"
Jiang Zhaoxue slowly calmed down after hearing this and thought for a moment, "Qian Sisi would risk her life to find the Lingxu Fan and is familiar with its usage, which means she must have come into contact with it before. If we follow her, we'll have a good chance of finding it. Pei Zichen has been out hunting monsters frequently lately and has even postponed his wedding. This shows he's been dealing with extremely serious matters, so perhaps he knows more."
"If you were his fiancée, wouldn't it be easier for you to find out information?" Ye Tianjiao said, and continued, "Also, although we have been assigned roles, these characters actually exist. If we change them casually, it might also affect the way the Lingxu Fan was born. I suggest you don't force it. The fiancée is the fiancée, sister, don't worry." Ye Tianjiao said seriously, "I'll forget about it when I go out."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened and was quite moved. At this moment, footsteps were suddenly heard outside.
Jiang Zhaoxue and Ye Tianjiao were shocked. Ye Tianjiao subconsciously wanted to run away. Jiang Zhaoxue quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth, telling him not to make any noise.
At this time, someone seemed to be standing outside, struggling for a long time before saying, "Miss Jiang, are you asleep?"
Hearing Pei Zichen's voice, Ye Tianjiao looked at Jiang Zhaoxue for help like a cat with its fur standing up.
If Pei Zichen saw them being alone in a room with no lights on in the middle of the night, he would die, he would really die.
Jiang Zhaoxue noticed Ye Tianjiao's cry for help, soothed him with her eyes, pretended to have just woken up, and asked loudly, "What's the matter?"
"Miss Jiang..." Pei Zichen seemed to have thought for a long time, and said nervously, "Shi Cang has seen Miss Jiang's letter of withdrawal of engagement today."
Oh, it’s the same word.
Only the first and last names were changed.
Jiang Zhaoxue and Ye Tianjiao looked at each other and saw doubt in each other's eyes.
Why not change your surname to Chen?
When I was young, I liked to imitate Shen Yuqing, and now I am even into role-playing.
Jiang Zhaoxue complained inwardly. Pei Zichen said dejectedly outside, "Logically... if Miss Jiang is indeed in love with Master Ye, I should help her and not stop her. But... but now Miss Jiang doesn't remember many things. Can you give Shi Cang some more time, wait until Miss Jiang remembers everything? If she still... still loves Master Ye, I..."
Pei Zichen seemed to be unable to continue. He hesitated and whispered softly, "In the past, Miss Jiang and I were...were very good. Miss Jiang once said that she wanted to grow old with Shi Cang. If we were to separate like this, I would not be willing to do so. If Miss had said so from the beginning..."
Pei Zichen's voice suddenly stopped as he spoke. He keenly heard some strange noises coming from the room and looked up with cold eyes.
Jiang Zhaoxue lowered her eyes to look at the jade pendant that Ye Tianjiao had dropped on the ground. She glared at him fiercely and said quickly, "Oh, I see. I'll think about it carefully. I'm sleepy now. Can we talk about it tomorrow?"
"good."
Pei Zichen responded and walked away.
Jiang Zhaoxue and Ye Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Tianjiao patted his chest and said, "Scared..."
Before he could finish his words, Pei Zichen came back, and the sword energy split the door open in an instant and rushed in. Jiang Zhaoxue and Ye Tianjiao almost instinctively grabbed each other and tried to hide behind each other!
This push was like hugging each other. Pei Zichen's sword stopped abruptly, and he looked at the two people rolling on the ground in disbelief. His eyes widened, and then he slashed at Ye Tianjiao with his sword, shouting: "How dare you!"

Pei Zichen: "Finally, it's my turn to say the word 'impudent'! It feels so good to have a status!"
It took me three days to come up with a solution, so I rewrote it. Thank you all for your support and I apologize to everyone. I will continue to apologize with red envelopes. Happy New Year 2025.
