As Jun Tan watched the people coming and going outside the inn, she no longer felt as lonely as before. For the first time, she felt that she was not so out of place. At least Xiao Yuhan in front of her was a kind of person in a certain sense.
It turns out that there is still a place for her to stand in this world. She turned to stare at Xiao Yuhan and said, "As for our relationship... we are very, very good friends. I guess no one in this world understands you better than me."
"Oh? You even tried to use a restriction to turn me into your servant? Is this what good friends are like?" Xiao Yuhan clearly didn't believe it.
"There is a scar on the web of your right hand. It is a scar left when you fought someone in the southern border and disarmed them with your bare hands."
Xiao Yuhan raised her hand and saw that there was indeed a scar on her hand. "Anyone with a little bit of eyesight can see the scar on my hand. Besides, I have lost all my memories now. No matter what you say, I can't refute it."
Jun Tan thought for a moment and continued, "You have a penetrating sword wound in your chest, and a four-inch-long knife scar three inches above your knee..."
"Alright, alright, young lady, I am a cultivator after all, and it is difficult for me to have any injuries after I have achieved great success in my cultivation. Even if I have scars, they were left when my cultivation was weak in my early years. But I come from a sect of immortals, and I must have had many scars on my body in my early years. Even if you guessed one or two correctly, what does that prove?"
A flash of anger crossed Jun Tan's eyes. She thought to herself, "Why is this man so stubborn? Even though what I said were all Bai Yao's memories, they were all true. Why is this man so unwilling to believe me at all?"
"Then how can you make me believe you?" Jun Tan asked, barely suppressing his anger.
Xiao Yuhan didn't know how to believe her, but he had carefully observed Jun Tan and found that this woman was extremely dangerous, as if she could bring disaster to those around her if she was not careful. So he was mostly wary. As for coming to see Jun Tan, it was only because he didn't want the disaster that had come because of him to involve others.
However, after spending time with her, he felt that she was not like the demon dragon Bai Yu. At least since entering Lingsu City, Xiao Yuhan had not heard of any demons harming people. After thinking it over, he said, "If we are close friends, then tell me something that only the two of us know."
Hearing this, Jun Tan fell into deep thought. After a long while, she took out some of Bai Yao's magical artifacts, which were just some simple women's jewelry. She placed the items on the table and said, "Take a look for yourself. Is this the defensive sword energy you left behind?"
Upon inspection, Xiao Yuhan sensed the spiritual energy contained within the jewelry and became more convinced. It was highly likely that this was a method she had left behind. Her spiritual energy could still discern it, and it could even set up protective measures for her. It seemed that this person had indeed been very important to her in the past.
Xiao Yuhan stopped questioning her, but his gaze softened slightly. "Miss Jun Tan, I believe you. So... what do you want me to do?"
"Actually, I hadn't decided at first, but now I have. I'll go north. I heard that the northern plains have recovered. It must be very beautiful, right?"
Xiao Yuhan nodded. "Perfect, I have nowhere else to go."
"Oh? You've already returned to the Heavenly Sword Sect, so this place can't be considered a place you can go either?"
Xiao Yuhan remained silent. "I don't know. I just feel like it's not what I thought."
Hearing this, Jun Tan seemed to understand something. "Many years ago, Yu Hui told me that if a person wants to become strong, he must forget everything. But the human soul is the most charming thing in the world. Even if a person's memories are erased, as long as there is a soul, he can still live like a human being. But if the soul is erased, it's different. A person without a soul is no longer a human being and will become the most perfect weapon. So the Heavenly Demon Abyss was born based on this concept. It's neither fish nor fowl, it's evil and heretical!"
"It seems you are quite familiar with Yu Hui. I heard Bai Yu mention him before. One is Jun Tan, and the other is Yu Hui. They are the pinnacle of spiritual cultivation in the world."
Jun Tan smiled slightly, “I have to say, Yu Hui is more capable than me. When she first created the Demon Disciple, she probably conceived it based on my past self. Or rather, I didn’t have a soul before. That’s not entirely true. I should have had a soul, but it was like I didn’t. So, in your case, you should have become a Demon Disciple.”
"You mean my soul is gone too?" Xiao Yuhan pressed.
“You’re still here. Your situation should be similar to that of the demon lords under him. After your soul was erased, a new soul was born for some reason or due to your own destiny. No, I remember now, you were never Xiao Yuhan. So what was sacrificed was Xiao Yuhan’s soul, and what was left was your own soul.”
As he spoke, Jun Tan reached out and touched Xiao Yuhan's forehead, closed his eyes and said, "No, it should be that your souls have all been annihilated. The nascent soul in your body is your newly born soul. No wonder your strength has become so strong. In addition to obtaining Yu Hui's power, there is also a part from the two flowers in your body, which represent life and death respectively. So... are you still the person I know?"
Xiao Yuhan was stunned. "Who cares? As long as I live well, that's enough. I exist in this moment, so I am real."
Jun Tan was slightly lost in thought. "Is it real? Yes, let's go, let's set off."
Xiao Yuhan looked at the waiter's resentful eyes from not far away and said helplessly, "I think we should order some food. Otherwise, it's really inappropriate that the waiter hasn't been able to kick us out after sitting here for so long."
"What's inappropriate?" Jun Tan said, standing up, then slamming a silver ingot on the table before turning and leaving.
Xiao Yuhan thought to herself that this was at least ten taels of silver, and it was such a waste to just sit there for a while.
