Although she had genuinely doubted it when she first met Shangguan Liuyue and heard the name.
After all, the Seven Stars of Flowing Moon appeared in her hands during the Shangguan family period, and Shangguan Liuyue happened to be a member of the Shangguan family as well.
However, this is too much of a coincidence.
Moreover, it doesn't make sense, mainly because the timing of its appearance is too coincidental.
Everyone was falling endlessly, as if there would never be an end.
Meng Xiuyi pulled Meng Wanwan into her arms and looked at Shangguan Liuyue warily.
Helian Xiao was also shocked and roared, "Shangguan Liuyue, what do you mean? Where are we going to fall?"
People from various families and sects who were falling nearby also looked over, their eyes wide with fury: "Was this your doing? Were you hiding nearby just now?"
Because of the fall, their words were not very clear.
The Crimson Cloud Hall Master roared, "We should have killed you all back then!"
Shangguan Liuyue gently waved her fan, and instantly a green array appeared beneath Meng Wanwan and the others' feet. The array was like a transparent disc with intricate patterns, allowing them to stand steadily on it.
Those who were near them saw this and stretched out their feet to step on it as well. However, just as their feet reached out, a small fox suddenly darted out and rammed into the man's leg.
"Get out of here!"
The man, like a cannonball, screamed as he crashed into the bottomless abyss.
A series of gasps immediately rose from the side.
With the enhancement of the array patterns, Meng Wanwan and her group's descent began to slow down, while their opponents could only watch helplessly as they all sat atop the array patterns, drifting further and further away from them...
Helian Xiao was quite ruthless, to be fair.
Members of the Helian family also fell...
Of course, the most ruthless one was Shangguan Liuyue, since the Helian family members and Helian Xiao might not be related by blood.
But the Shangguan family is indeed Shangguan Liuyue's relative!
Meng Wanwan looked at Shangguan Liuyue: "Aren't you going to do anything about them?"
Shangguan Liuyue twirled Meng Wanwan's small fan and said with a gentle smile, "What do you care? You won't die from the fall anyway. You'll just be wandering around in the space a little longer."
Meng Wanwan looked at the small red fan in his hand but did not reach out to take it.
Meng Xiuyi said calmly, "Young Master Shangguan, what exactly is going on? Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
Shangguan Liuyue looked at Meng Wanwan, shook her head with great regret, and handed her the fan.
Meng Wanwan didn't answer: "My dad is asking you a question!"
Shangguan Liuyue sighed: "What does the little girl want me to say? Do you want me to tell you why I know there's a floating space down there? Or do you want to know why I know how to use your fan?"
Helian Xiao glanced at both sides and whispered, "Is it possible? We all want to know."
Meng Wanwan looked at Helian Xiao with approval.
Helian Xiao stood beside Meng Wanwan and Meng Xiuyi, putting pressure on Shangguan Liuyue.
Shangguan Liuyue tapped her chin with her folding fan, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Well... how should I put it? I can't say I know, I can only say that in my remaining memories, I have these behavioral memories. I don't know why I did it, but it seems like I should have done it."
He tossed the red fan in his hand into the air, and a wisp of green spiritual energy enveloped it, hovering at his fingertips.
"If I remember correctly... it's like this."
With a slight turn of his finger, the array patterns beneath his feet began to rotate as well, and then the group of people, along with the array patterns, vanished from this space in an instant.
Meng Wanwan felt a blur before her eyes, and when she refocused, she saw a deathly still space.
The place was overgrown with weeds, with crumbling walls and lush trees, but there wasn't a single sound of insects or birds chirping.
This reminded her of the feeling when she first saw the space, but this place was completely different from the space.
There's no spiritual energy here, and it seems there's not much life either.
Meng Wanwan moved slightly, her foot touching the green grass beside her.
The green grass turned to ashes in an instant.
Shangguan Liuyue's voice came to my ears.
"Actually, my memory started to fade the moment I woke up."
He took a step, and all the surrounding weeds turned to ashes, revealing the black earth beneath, which still smelled slightly fishy.
He looked at the fan in his hand and said, "If I remember correctly, I made this Seven Stars Flowing Moon design."
Meng Wanwan asked in confusion, "Woke up? Lost your memory?"
Shangguan Liuyue nodded slightly, the carefree smile gone from her face, and her gaze gradually drifted into the distance.
"I woke up at the Shangguan family home. I knew I was a member of the Shangguan family and remembered my own name. But why I was asleep... how long I slept, I don't know. The Seven Stars of the Flowing Moon appeared in the world, and I could sense it. Because I made it, and it bears the imprint of my soul."
"When I first woke up... I seemed to know what I was looking for, so I left the Shangguan family alone and kept searching based on my memories. But as I gradually forgot, my memories faded, and now I've forgotten why I came here."
Meng Wanwan asked him, "Then... do you still remember the painting by the Shangguan family that depicts lotus flowers and a young girl?"
Shangguan Liuyue shook her head.
Meng Xiuyi said, "You approached us because of... the Seven Stars of the Flowing Moon?"
Shangguan Liuyue: "Yes... this is the only thing that connects us. Maybe when I first left the Shangguan family, I was looking for something. But now, I have a feeling that I am looking for my memories."
Meng Xiuyi suddenly asked him, "Do you...do you know Zhu Ting? Or Han Shuangting?"
Shangguan Liuyue was taken aback for a moment, and her delicate brows furrowed.
Helian Xiao didn't dare to breathe and kept staring at him.
I never expected it to be someone who appeared because of memories.
Shangguan Liuyue shook her head: "I don't remember this person, but... I have a very special feeling about him."
He thought for a moment, then suddenly pulled the peach blossom hairpin out of his pocket.
This peach blossom hairpin was also made by him.
But all along, he had felt that this hairpin gave him a special feeling, though he didn't know what it was.
When he first met Meng Wanwan, he wanted to give her this hairpin. He didn't know why, but he just wanted to give it to her. Unfortunately, he never gave it to her.
Now, hearing Han Shuangting's name, his feelings were even stronger.
The feeling was intense, yet elusive, as if he were firmly imprisoned by something, unable to touch or grasp it.
Feeling sad and helpless.
Seeing his expression, Meng Wanwan said, "Young Master Shangguan, you must have lived for a very long time, right?"
Shangguan Liuyue looked up at her: "Are you saying I'm old?"
Meng Wanwan...
Where did that sad feeling go?
Meng Wanwan said irritably, "I was just confirming my guess. You keep saying that the Shangguan family are all unworthy descendants, so are you the ancestor of the Shangguan family?"
Shangguan Liuyue put away the peach blossom hairpin and flicked open her folding fan: "That's not wrong. I should be their ancestor. I still remember that. However, I feel that they are probably not my descendants."
Meng Xiuyi lowered her head slightly, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "I think I know why that painting exists."
He looked at Shangguan Liuyue and sighed softly.
Whether they died in that era or came from it.
I've already forgotten the name Han Shuangting, or Zhuting.
Even as the patriarch of the Shangguan family, he was like this. Perhaps he remembered it when he woke up, but gradually forgot it as time passed.
This Shangguan Liuyue must be someone connected to Zhu Ting. That painting is probably why it ended up in the Shangguan family's possession.
Is it only in this way, through this method, that the world can remember her again?
Was Shangguan Liuyue's slumber also due to that painting?
So what exactly did those people do to Zhu Ting back then? That the world would forget her?
