Chapter 45: Theft
Lu Fei inexplicably felt guilty, especially when Jian An Ning showed that expression.
That expressionless state made him feel inexplicably worried. Her eyes completely lost all emotions at that moment and became cold and lifeless, as if she had shed her human skin and turned into something that should not exist in this world.
He tried to explain, but found that Jane An Ning already knew the whole story clearly, and he didn't even know what to say.
The next moment, Jian Anning looked up at him and said softly, "Do you like your current life?"
Lu Fei was stunned. The thoughts that he had gathered with great courage were easily broken up by a single sentence.
He was a little surprised, but nodded. Although he had lost a large part of his memory, his life in Qingyun Sect and under the tutelage of Jian An Ning was pretty good.
"Is this what you wanted? Do you remember what you wanted?"
Jian Anning's voice was a little ethereal, as if it came from the sky above.
Lu Fei was naturally sure of what he wanted. He just wanted Jane An Ning to be safe and happy.
But as soon as these words came out, they were met with laughter.
He saw that Jian Anning's cold face finally showed a warm smile. She tapped his head and said to him again, "I just suddenly remembered a way to restore your memory. This method is much simpler and doesn't require you to wait for your Nascent Soul."
Lu Fei's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked, "What should we do?"
Jian Anning tilted her head, thought for a while and then said, "It's very simple, I just need to prepare some materials."
After saying that, she flew away directly, and seemed to be mumbling something, but because she was so far away, Lu Fei could not hear it at all.
He was left standing there alone, and what kept appearing in his mind was Jane Anning's smile.
He really couldn't forget that smile, as if an ice sculpture had a soul and came alive.
At this moment, Ye Huange came forward and asked Lu Fei quite bluntly, "Do you like her?"
"No, no, no." Lu Fei denied it repeatedly at first, and then suddenly realized that all the unclear emotions hidden in her heart seemed to have found answers in an instant.
"No," he denied his previous denial, then raised his eyes and said affirmatively, "I like her."
Just like lightning flashing across the night sky and thunder waking up the earth, Lu Fei suddenly felt that all the blurry things in front of her eyes suddenly became clear.
He just likes Jane Anning.
He should like Jane Anning.
The seedling-like thing hidden in the spiritual platform, which had already sprouted and begun to grow, grew rapidly. The dark roots and black buds stretched out in the dark spiritual platform, and gradually formed ink-colored buds.
Its roots penetrated the firmly pinned spiritual light, like an airtight net, completely restricting the spiritual light, preventing it from stretching, wandering, or leaving at all.
Ye Huange, who was standing nearby, didn't notice anything unusual. After pondering for a while, he said, "But the difference between you two is quite big, isn't it?"
"Although they look similar on the surface, she is a Nascent Soul cultivator who has been practicing for a long time, while you look like you are only at the Foundation Establishment stage."
Ye Huange was muttering to himself when he felt an unusual fluctuation in the spiritual energy around him.
The spiritual energy began to gather towards Lu Fei frantically. At the same time, dark clouds gathered, thunder and lightning alternated, and the momentum around Lu Fei continued to rise, and soon reached the critical point of the foundation-building period.
Ye Huange widened her eyes. She knew very well that this was a sign of a breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.
Who on earth could break through to the Golden Core Stage so suddenly? And what did she just say? How could she have broken through? Lu Fei's original cultivation level looked like she had only just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Ye Huange found it hard to understand.
However, even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. Although her own cultivation level has not reached the Jindan stage, she has seen many cultivators break through the Jindan stage.
She didn't dare to delay and quickly turned back to the ancestral hall to invite the elders of the Ye family out.
"If we don't take some measures, the Ye Mansion will be destroyed!" Ye Huange said hoarsely.
The elders of the Ye family were also extremely shocked, but this gave them more confidence in Lu Fei's identity as the heir to the Lu family's heritage.
Lu Fei himself has been locked by the thunder. If they want to move him, they will most likely be swept into the thunder as well.
Therefore, the elders of the Ye family quickly cast defensive spells and formed a defensive formation to resist the heavenly thunder.
Thunder rumbled from the sky, and even though the elders of the Ye family tried their best to deal with it, they still became very embarrassed.
On the contrary, Lu Fei, who was at the center of the thunder tribulation, perhaps because he had just broken through, not only looked like nothing had happened, but also seemed to be in much better spirits.
Perhaps it was because his mind was as clear as a crystal, and a force that was pulling him in the dark gradually became clear.
Lu Fei felt something strange.
So, he set out to go to the place that was pulling his strength.
By this time, the sky was already dark, the bright moon was like frost, and the sky was full of stars.
Although the embarrassed elders of the Ye family saved the Ye Mansion from destruction, they themselves were tortured by the thunder.
They all went back to recuperate and deal with the internal and external injuries caused by the thunder.
"I kind of believe it. He's from the Dongchang Lu family," said an elder from the Ye family. "It's said that families with an original inheritance will be favored by the heavens, so the thunder tribulation will be particularly lenient towards them."
"Because in a sense, those original forces and the heavenly thunder are of the same origin."
Ye Huange had no idea what the other elders of the Ye family were thinking about these words. She only realized that with Lu Fei's help, it seemed that there was hope for her to get through this marriage that she didn't want to go to at all.
It was late at night and there was no one on the streets of Mingzhou City. The lights in all houses had been turned off, and there were only a few places with lights on in the entire city.
And at this time when there was almost no activity, two dark figures quietly came to the wall outside the Ye Mansion.
They were covered with black cloth, which was cast with a spell to conceal their faces. One could only tell from their figures that they were a man and a woman.
And they seemed to have a tacit understanding. They didn't need to speak, just a glance was enough to understand each other.
After the man and woman exchanged glances, they seemed to have made up their minds, formed seals with their hands, and headed towards the Ye Mansion.
Normally, the Ye Mansion’s defensive formation is fully capable of sensing the two thieves.
However, it just so happened that Lu Fei encountered the Jindan stage thunder tribulation in the Ye Mansion today. In order to deal with the thunder tribulation, the elders of the Ye family activated this formation.
There is no doubt that the defensive formation of the Ye Mansion was damaged. Although someone was working overtime to repair it, the time left was enough for two thieves to sneak into the Ye Mansion.
The two men's goal was very clear, they went straight to the location of the Ye family ancestral hall.
After losing the sacred Fusang tree, the Ye family had become a very ordinary family. However, compared with those aristocratic families that rose later, they still had a tiny advantage.
That was a hibiscus leaf secretly hidden by the ancestor of the Ye family.
The leaves of the hibiscus tree have the effect of "recording", so during the Yuan Dynasty, the Ye family, who guarded the leaves of the hibiscus tree, used those leaves as paper and engraved important events in ancient times on them.
Therefore, the hibiscus leaf owned by the Ye family records a very long period of history.
That hibiscus leaf was hidden in the Ye family's ancestral hall and should have been guarded day and night by the elders of the Ye family.
But it just so happened that because of Lu Fei's breakthrough, these elders of the Ye family were injured to varying degrees. Some of them left the ancestral hall to recuperate, and some people had to lower their vigilance due to their injuries.
Therefore, the power of the Ye Family Ancestral Hall is weaker than before. The thieves who sneaked into the Ye Family tonight were really lucky.
Moreover, the two thieves came prepared, using all their magic spells and talismans to conceal their bodies, allowing them to sneak into the Ye family ancestral hall unnoticed like the breeze at night.
The ancestral hall is square in shape. There is a faceless statue standing on the north side, and guardians with ferocious expressions standing on both sides. In the hands of the faceless statue is an extremely ancient wooden box.
As far as the two thieves knew, the wooden box contained the hibiscus leaves of the Ye family.
They don't want to create any unnecessary complications and want to resolve the issue quickly.
But as luck would have it, things did not go as planned. Just when one of them touched the wooden box, the entire Ye Mansion was suddenly brightly lit, and the ancestral hall was no exception. The two thieves in black looked out of place in the light.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!" one of them exclaimed.
The other man, without thinking twice, stepped forward and forcibly resisted the Ye family's formation protecting the wooden box. He took the box into his arms and calmly said to the other man, "Let's go! The alarm wasn't caused by us."
The elders of the Ye family were caught off guard by the sudden alarm, and the thief's actions were very swift, so the thief succeeded and took the wooden box away.
"They took the hibiscus leaves." Some elders of the Ye family also reacted and wanted to take back the treasures passed down by their ancestors.
However, the situation on the other side was so urgent that someone said, "Forget about the leaf. No one can understand what's on it right now. Let's deal with the current situation first."
There were still some elders of the Ye family who were unwilling to give up. However, the next moment, a wolf howl resounded through the sky, attracting everyone's attention.
"How did those things come down the mountain?"
However, no one could answer his question, and the wailing had gradually resounded throughout the city of Mingzhou.
The elders of the Ye family completely ignored the lost hibiscus leaf, so the two thieves left the Ye Mansion easily. Even they themselves were extremely shocked by the smooth operation.
However, when they returned to the long street of Mingzhou City, they could see the monster with scarlet eyes harvesting human lives unscrupulously.
The two men did not dare to delay and found a relatively secluded corner, changed out of their night clothes, took off the black cloth covering their faces, revealing the faces of Fan Qingyue and Jiang Tan.
"What's going on with those monsters? Are they crazy?" Fan Qingyue said with a frown.
Jiang Tan's expression wasn't very good either, but he still said calmly, "Go and take a look."
