Feng Guang almost forgot that he had recently suffered from amnesia and didn't recognize many things. He could bring a living person back as if they were cattle or horses, so it was normal that he didn't know what pork was. "Take me with you next time you go out to buy meat... and I'll tell you what pork is."
If he's willing to take her out, she'll definitely find a chance to escape.
To everyone's surprise, Nan Ke said, "Eating vegetables is fine too; going out is too much trouble."
No! If he doesn't leave, how is she supposed to escape?!
"It's no trouble at all. It's just a matter of going out of the village to buy meat. I can come back quickly after buying the meat."
“Once I get out of here…” Nan Ke’s smile seemed to be tinged with helplessness, “then I will encounter assassins again. Those assassins are weak, but they are very annoying.”
Feng Guang was silent for a moment, then asked, "So why did those people want to kill you?"
"I don't know." These were still the only three words Nan Ke could answer.
Feng Guang then asked, "Do you know what your identity was before you lost your memory?"
“I don’t remember.” Nan Ke shook his head. “When I woke up, I was already in Anyun Village. The old village chief saved me, but when I woke up, the old village chief had a serious relapse. Before he fell into a coma, he handed over the position of village chief to me.”
"So... you know nothing about what happened before?"
"Hmm, I don't remember anything from before."
"You've even forgotten your own name?"
"I forgot."
Feng Guang stroked his chin and said, "Wait a minute, if you've even forgotten your own name, then why have you given yourself a new one?"
"My current name was given to me by the old village chief. He said he met me under a big tree south of Anyun Village. I have amnesia now. Maybe when I wake up, I will feel that what happened during this time was just a dream."
Feng Guang nodded after hearing this. "Oh, so your name is Yi Meng now?"
He was quiet for a moment, then said, "My name is Nan Ke."
“So it’s Nan Ke…” Feng Guang nodded again, then froze, looked up and asked, “What did you say your name was?!”
He glanced at her, "Nan Ke."
No... could this be just a coincidence of having the same name?
Feng Guang asked nervously, "So...do you have any special skills?"
"Special skills..." He thought for a moment, "...does being charismatic count?"
Fengguang: "..."
He looked at her again, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Last time I went outside, a lot of females were looking at me. Is that a sign of being attractive?"
"Well... no, if you put it that way yourself, it's a bit..." Feng Guang smiled somewhat awkwardly, but seeing his gentle and refined face, she really couldn't bring herself to say such self-praise. She chose to ignore the question and instead asked, "Um... what I meant by special skills is, do you know any martial arts or something, like you're very good at swordsmanship?"
"Swordsmanship?" He thought for a moment. "I think I know a little bit."
This answer... seems a bit unreliable!
Feng Guang couldn't be sure if he was her target. In the story she had received, Nan Ke was a reclusive master known as the "Sword Immortal." Indeed, he exuded an "ethereal" aura, like a celestial being. But was that "Sword Immortal" really just a village chief?
Looking at Nan Ke again, she saw that he had beautiful features and a face like jade. The moonlight shone through the locust tree and fell on him, as if it were veiling him in a layer of gauze. The feeling of excitement he had given her when they first met came back to her. She suddenly realized that it was better to kill a thousand innocent people than to let one guilty person go free!
"Village Chief!" Feng Guang grabbed Nan Ke's hand and said shamelessly, "Please let me settle down in your village!"
He looked at her quietly for a while, then said, "Can I finish my meal?"
"Is eating more important, or is it more important for a beautiful woman like me to settle down in your village?"
He paused for a moment, then smiled slightly, and his gentle, breeze-like voice came through, "The village has enough beauties with me."
This spot, the most beautiful spot in Anyun Village... is enough for one person to sit in.
Feng Guang's eyes twitched, and he couldn't even manage a chuckle.
