"Is your senior brother really just ordinary?"
"I have amnesia."
Qu Xiu: "I suspect you're lying to me. You were like this before when you didn't want to fight me."
"how?"
"All you ever say is 'I won't fight.' But when I actually stop fighting, you beat me up. When my master put me in this position, he said that all my senior brothers and sisters are excellent, but I'm the one who's been beaten the most by you. I've suffered a lot and that's why I'm still alive."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"I want to know too!" Qu Xiu said, looking troubled. "Otherwise, do you really think I have any improper thoughts about you? Do you think it's been easy for me to guard the people of your Xuanyun Sect since the beginning of the Hongxing Mountain?"
"Thanks for your hard work."
"I remembered something."
Lu Wei reverted to his original face, which appeared more fragile than when he first found the crystal coffin, and his aura was not as sharp. Wen Jinge did not actually recognize him as Lu Wei when she first saw him.
"You also need to regain your memories, so listen first!" He looked at Wen Jingge's mind, where that small wisp of white mist reappeared. "Is something bad about to happen again?"
"right."
"What happened?" Qu Xiu stood up warily from the roof, but before he could even steady himself, the two of them pulled him down together. "Who exactly is he?"
"Demon from the ancient war between gods and demons, don't bother me while I listen to your gossip. If you don't cooperate next time, I won't play with you anymore."
"As if I care." He snorted coldly, but then the leader of the Tu Luo Sect, as if telling a story, found a gavel from somewhere and said, "I remember now, the Tu Luo Sect has long since declined."
"So what?" Lu Wei looked at him blankly, not understanding what was so surprising about him.
Those below were all genuine humans, Xuan Masters with some cultivation, not demons or monsters. He was certain he wasn't mistaken using this body.
"He really is a storyteller."
Wen Jingge was silent for a while: "Stories originate from life."
"Is that thing fake?"
“It’s probably true. Spreading rumors in Qinghe Mountain is only possible if he doesn’t want to live.” Lu Wei, who had been silent, spoke to a stranger for the first time.
"That makes sense!"
Qu Xiu is a goofy guy who never learns from mistakes, but because of his status as the mountain lord, he usually has to put on a dignified appearance. Now that he's met Wen Jinge, he's letting loose and acting like a child.
"It is said that Shan Hongxing was not an easy person to deal with in the past. Before our Master Wen entered the sect, the entire Xuanyun Sect was grooming him as their future successor. Bu Suanzi himself also valued this disciple highly, which led to him having no other thoughts besides practicing his skills."
"Isn't that great?" someone asked.
"What do you mean 'good'! Didn't Master Wen go up the mountain in the end? He must have been discouraged. When my master was alive, he said that Master Wen was the most likely person to fight against the Demon Lord in the future."
"Exactly!" the leader of the Tu Luo Sect laughed. "You guessed right. Let's talk about this slowly. Shan Hongxing was originally ranked as the number one swordsman in the world in the Sword Sect. Do you know how he got that title?"
"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. The demons in the west were terrified of him, which is why they haven't bothered us for the past hundred years. Only those few holy maidens from the Northern Demon Realm are so reckless as to dare to cause such a commotion. They don't even remember what kind of person Shan Hongxing was in the past."
"Why..."
"Why are you in such a hurry? I already told you to speak slowly."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
“I’ve noticed something,” Wen Jingge clicked her tongue and suddenly said, “Why do they call Fan Zifan a medicine cultivator, and Shan Hongxing Shan Hongxing, but I’m called Immortal Master Wen? Was I that popular before?”
Qu Xiu carefully considered his words. He couldn't very well say that she had harmed many sects in the past!
Back then, anyone who tried to challenge Wen Jingge ended up having their weapons stolen and crying as they went home to find their master.
The shadow cast at that time has influenced almost everyone's perception of her for nearly a century:
She's a female demon; if you can't mess with her, you can avoid her!
"This shows that you hold a significant place in their hearts."
"Oh." Wen Jingge nodded.
Lu Wei nodded thoughtfully, his mind still a mess, filled with fragments of thoughts, but he couldn't distinguish the time or recall the details.
When he woke up yesterday, he didn't even know where he was. He saw a lot of people here, but he didn't understand what was happening. On instinct, he slipped away.
Later, he unknowingly arrived at Pingchuan Valley. He had clearly seen the simulation there with Wen Jinge, but when the real scene appeared, he still felt uncomfortable.
He didn't remember when he lost consciousness; in his dazed state, it seemed like someone was calling his name.
Someone fed him medicine and said he would be fine after a nap. The woman had a familiar face, like the woman with the bow who had once given him her eyes, or like Wen Jinge.
A voice inside him told him to find Wen Jingge, so he returned.
What color were your eyes before?
"I don't know." Wen Jingge looked at him strangely, thinking that he had some strange reaction after merging with his body. "Your forehead isn't hot, why are you asking me such a strange question?"
"It's as if you gave me a pair of eyes and told me that someone will come to me to retrieve it later."
"Me?" Wen Jingge pointed at herself. "Are you sure it's me? Not that one in the sky?"
“The sky…” Lu Wei covered his head, “The sky, the ground, after the separation of heaven and earth, I can’t remember…”
"Don't think about it if you can't remember. Just watch the show." Wen Jingge covered his ears, pulled him into her arms, and patted his shoulder. "If you're not feeling well, go take a nap. Go to the hearse and pretend you came out too early."
"A hearse? A car?" Lu Wei shook his head, feeling dizzy, and actually fell asleep next to Wen Jinge.
Qu Xiu stared at him as if she'd seen a ghost, then looked at Lu Wei and asked in surprise, "Your man?"
Wen Jingge glanced at him blankly, slowly exhaling a breath of stale air. She had almost choked to death earlier. "Which eye did you see that with?"
"Or else you... like this?"
"He's too weak, he can't be my man!" Wen Jingge sighed and brushed a strand of hair from her forehead. "What makes you have this misconception?"
"Well, well, it's kind of scary when someone who's suddenly not gentle suddenly becomes gentle." Qu Xiu rubbed his face vigorously, as if he wanted to rub off a layer of skin. "It seems that it's true."
Wen Jingge: ...
Why is it so hard for her to listen to some gossip?
"Speaking of which, you don't actually like him, do you? He seems to be a demon!"
"I know better than you do."
“So…” He looked at her meaningfully and said something completely out of character, “Do you need me to help you hide? I’m quite the expert at hiding people.”
"How did you become the mountain lord?"
"My master committed suicide along with all the senior brothers and sisters who were capable of becoming sect leaders, leaving only me!"
Wen Jingge: ...
