Everyone left the meeting room.
Changfeng, Chen Wusui, Wan Buxun, and Luo Xuan all took their leave.
Changfeng and Chen Wusui are going north to establish a new research site. The meeting decided to study Chang Le's blood, and they need to return immediately to prepare.
Wan Buxun headed to the Kunlun Snowfield in the Fifth District. A portion of the Dragon Soul Army was conducting joint training there, and he needed to rush back to take charge.
Luo Xuan was heading south to the Wolf Faction's Gray Zone to discuss future matters with Lu Yanhuai and the others. Iris was with the Dragon Scale Society in Liangcheng.
With Fu Yue and Granny Wu in charge of the Golden Palace, Ghost Blade continued his rampage across the world. This time, his mission was to scout the defenses of the Zhu Clan's base, preparing for the later removal of Xue Wuwang, Huan Bo, and the others.
"Le... no, Xiao Jiu." Changfeng blurted out subconsciously, then immediately corrected himself.
At the end of the meeting, Chang Le explained that she was currently operating in the Ninth District under this appearance and the alias "Fu Jiu." To the outside world, this person would also be the young master of the Dragon Sect.
"We will put the inhibitor into production as soon as possible. We hope that the research on blood can make a breakthrough so that we can develop an inhibitor that is effective for you and has fewer side effects."
Chang Ledao said, "It's hard work, like a long wind."
"It's what I should do."
After Changfeng finished speaking, he and Chen Wusui bid her farewell.
Wan Buxun left with them.
Ghost Blade stood in the shadows inside the door, untouched by the sun. He met her gaze from afar, nodded, and then vanished into mist.
Luo Xuan received a look from Chang Le and said in a low voice, "I'll wait for you at the tea pavilion."
Granny Wu and Fu Yue walked over. Granny Wu's rough fingers caressed Chang Le's hand, and her yellowish eyes, etched with wrinkles, held a kind expression.
"Be careful out there. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to tell me. I can handle a few of those brats without any problem."
Fu Yue stood to the side, his habitually stern face appearing unapproachable, but to Chang Le, it brought a sense of reassurance. Fu Yue only said a few words: "Don't suffer a loss."
Chang Le held one of their hands, looked at the two elderly people who had practically acted as his grandparents during the years they lived here more than a decade ago, and said with a smile, "I understand."
Seeing Luo Xuan waiting at the tea pavilion, the two left as well.
Ziguiti greeted Chang Le, saying, "I'm going to check on those children." He was referring to Chen Wu and the others. Then he left.
Chang Le walked to the tea pavilion and sat down opposite Luo Xuan. Luo Xuan got up and poured her tea.
Chang Le took a look and realized that this was not tea at all, but clearly just plain water, without any color at all.
Luo Xuan smiled and said, "Young Master has not eaten or drunk anything for days, so his stomach is weak. Strong tea is bad for his health, so hot water is better."
Chang Le really wanted something flavorful to drink. But to convince Luo Xuan, she... really didn't dare!
Luo Xuan may seem easy to talk to, but he is definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Moreover, during those years in District Nine, Luo Xuan was not only a butler, but also played a part in the role of an "older brother".
People like Mu Liangchao and Changfeng, being her uncles and elders, spoiled her. Granny Wu and Fu Yue were like grandparents, saying one thing but actually doting on her the most. Fu Guang couldn't bring himself to be harsh with her.
In crucial moments, it was actually Luo Xuan who would give her a cold shoulder and stop her.
It's like this: the parents might be reluctant to hit him, but the older siblings never hold back.
Chang Le pursed her lips, picked up the warm water, and gulped it down.
"Lele, is there anything you want to ask me?" Luo Xuan took the empty cup and poured another cup of hot water.
Chang Le recounted how Chen Wusui and the others had arrived here.
“Brother Xuan, I saw a piece of the past, my past more than three hundred years ago.” Chang Le said this while staring into Luo Xuan’s eyes.
Luo Xuan's calm response made Chang Le understand without needing a reply: "Brother Xuan already knew."
Luo Xuan pushed the water towards her: "Warm your hands."
He then continued Chang Le's words: "We've known each other for much longer than you can imagine."
Chang Le looked at him, waiting for his answer.
Luo Xuan smiled and said, "Lele was only this big when she was born, and now she's our leader." As he spoke, he gestured with his arms in front of him and laughed.
Chang Le was stunned.
Through the video in Yan Guanshan's memory, she deduced that the place where she summoned spirits to change her fate was the legendary No. 001 God-Making Laboratory. She speculated that Luo Xuan and Fu Guang might have met at that time, but she never expected that she was actually watched by Luo Xuan to grow up!
"Then you...you know about my parents, and that I turned back into a child..."
Luo Xuan nodded firmly, silencing Chang Le.
Chang Le remained silent for a long time before asking, "Who placed the two seals in my brain?"
Luo Xuan replied, "The first obstacle is your parents, and the second is Fu Guang."
"It contains two parts of memories, one from over three hundred years ago and the other from several decades ago, as well as what they left you."
"Why?"
"In order to reduce the karmic burden of changing one's fate. The so-called 'ignorance is no excuse' means that when you are not aware of the karmic consequences you bear, your behavior is less likely to violate taboos; but once you are aware, you will unconsciously do things that are beyond what ordinary people should do."
"Is the seal meant to protect you from the punishment of the laws, or to protect you from those who covet you?"
Chang Le frowned: "Are they because of my parents?"
Luo Xuan said, "Right now, the only ones who know your background and are still alive are me, Gui Dao, and Xue Wuwang. The seal fooled them."
"It's not just these rational reasons," Luo Xuan chuckled. "Lele, there's another very, very important reason."
"They want you to be happy."
Chang Le looked up in surprise.
"Do not carry burdens, do not seek revenge, do not suffer, be relaxed and free, and always be happy and at peace. This is the expectation of your parents and Fuguang."
Luo Xuan's smile was bitter: "But you've still embarked on the path they least wanted to see."
"I'm sorry, we failed to protect you."
Do not carry burdens, seek revenge, or suffer; be relaxed, free, joyful, and at peace.
These words lingered in her mind, making her feel both warm and bitter.
If they were all here, perhaps there would be a Chang Le.
Chang Le simply smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
Luo Xuan was somewhat surprised: "Don't you want to ask me about their identities, and everything that happened back then?"
Chang Le propped his elbow on the stone table and said, "What you're telling me is from your perspective, which will influence my judgment. What I want will be answered when I go to the [Mysterious Creation Realm]. I want to solve the mystery myself."
"【Creating a Mysterious Realm】...It seems you already have a plan in mind."
Chang Le stretched out his arms and yawned: "Now, I'm not afraid of carrying more burdens, not afraid of life and death separations, and not afraid of standing under their guns. I'm only afraid that I'm not crazy enough!"
Luo Xuan concealed his complicated expression and smiled again: "Young Master, before we go to the Heaven-Mending Tower, I have something to give you."
Luo Xuan led Chang Le to a room upstairs in the main building: "Do you remember the reward for clearing the 'Jinse' dungeon in the game? I brought it from Liangcheng."
