A few days ago, Su Yao asked me to kill a few old guys. After that, I was to take back the thing. Right now, I really can't protect myself.
Although he was curious about why he was so skilled at this kind of thing, at least he could go out and explore again, so he stopped worrying about these things too much.
Yan Quan traveled all the way to the central area of Yunya City, passed through a huge venue where various forces gathered, and arrived at a towering palace. Following the guidance of the Tianji Pavilion cultivators, he arrived at a compartment piled high with documents.
Although the Tianji Pavilion cultivators around him were looking at him with strange eyes, he didn't care much.
Anyway, being a gigolo... that's probably how it is all, right?
I could do all of these things before I lost my memory, so why do I feel a little out of sorts now that I have amnesia?
Has my mindset changed?
While pondering, Yan Quan picked up the document and began to read it.
"You may leave now. I will go to the warehouse to inventory the treasures myself later."
Yan Quan waved his hand and said, "Looking at the workload of these documents, no wonder Su Yao wanted me to do it."
I guess the person who used to hold this position didn't do a good job and got fired.
...Should I try leaving Su Yao and going for a walk outside?
Perhaps we can find a way to restore my memories.
No, Su Yao definitely won't agree.
"well……"
As he absentmindedly pondered and worked, noon arrived.
"My lord... there have been some problems with the transactions of several major forces a few days ago, and we need your assistance."
Suddenly, a cultivator from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion at the entrance came to report some information, interrupting Yan Quan's thoughts.
"Okay, I understand."
Yan Quan remained expressionless, stood up and replied, then followed him to a meeting hall in another building.
"Right here? Let them come in one by one, I'll handle them separately."
Yan Quan sat in the main seat of the hall and instructed his subordinates to bring in the controversial individuals. He then dealt with their trivial matters one by one.
Time passed quickly, and Yan Quan had completed his task for the day.
Although he could tell from the astonished looks in his subordinates' eyes that the speed and quality of his work were remarkable, Yan Quan still felt nothing.
It seems that doing this kind of thing isn't what I like. Could it be that I only accepted this kind of life because I like Su Yao...?
Yan Quan continued to ponder as he walked across the plaza, passing through the bustling crowd of cultivators, preparing to return to the main area of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
"You idiot, listen to me first, don't run away."
Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his hand as a pair of soft little hands grabbed his.
"We...know each other?"
He looked at the blue-haired woman who had just walked past him with a puzzled expression. Because of the veil, he couldn't see her face clearly, but there was a faint fragrance of peach blossoms about her.
"...It's me, really. Didn't you recognize me? If I find out you're kidding me, you'll be in big trouble."
The blue-haired woman gave a soft hum, raised her hand and removed her veil, revealing a delicate face as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water.
"Peach-colored eyes...this fairy, do we...know each other before?"
Yan Quan looked at her, somewhat moved by her beauty, but still with a dazed expression. He smiled gently and asked softly.
"...Huh? What do you mean?"
Miao Yutao stared intently into Yan Quan's clear eyes, her cherry lips slightly parted, and she gripped Yan Quan tightly in disbelief, as if afraid that he would disappear without a trace at any moment.
"Uh...sorry, I forgot to mention, I lost my memory a year ago, so I might not remember who you are now."
Excuse me, what happened between you and me before?
Yan Quan noticed that more and more eyes were being cast his way. Although he was afraid of being locked up again by Su Yao, he had finally met someone who might know him from the past, so he had to ask him what kind of person he was before.
"Really? You're not lying to me again, are you? That trick won't work on me anymore!"
Miao Yutao frowned and said unhappily.
"Was I a good liar before?"
Yan Quan asked in confusion, then nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, being too honest is not a good thing; for example, it can easily lead to being locked up in a dark room.
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing that Yan Quan's innocent expression didn't seem like an act, Miao Yutao pulled him closer, stood on tiptoe, and put her hand inside his head.
Because she was at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Void Realm, she quickly noticed the anomaly in Yan Quan's memories...
However, she did not try to help Yan Quan solve the problem.
Or rather, she initially intended to help him untie the knot, but in the next moment, a sinful thought inexplicably arose in her mind.
No, it's not sinful at all. Taking advantage of this good opportunity, I'll teach this scoundrel a lesson. It's a very good and righteous thing to do. Yes, that's right.
"You... really don't remember who I am?"
"Hmm, I don't remember. Is Fairy my old friend?"
"I didn't know such a beautiful person."
"All you do is talk nonsense!"
We can't really be considered friends... I, I'm your... your... your wife."
Miao Yutao blushed deeply, her peach-shaped eyes glistening with tears as she avoided Yan Quan's questioning gaze. Her small mouth opened and closed, her voice growing softer and softer as she spoke, and she even picked up a small wooden sword with the character "peach" carved on it to cover her face.
This was one of the few times she had ever lied in her life; she was really bad at this kind of thing.
"ha?!?"
The discourse is in disarray, but even though this incomparably pure and beautiful woman before us is full of flaws, why tell such a self-defeating lie?
This makes it quite possible that it's true. Moreover, the familiar feeling of the small wooden sword she's holding is as if it were made by herself, especially since Su Yao has the same one!
