Xu Yuehuai felt that her mind was in complete chaos, and she had no idea what to do next. She had even forgotten the question she originally wanted to ask Zisangyi. All she could see was the emaciated old man lying on the bed in front of her. "Speaking of this, I have to thank your Daoist partner. This lamp is to gather his soul. Once all the souls are gathered, Weishengliu will be able to wake up again. I come here to see him every time I am not in the sect."
"This place still needs someone to take care of it to maintain its current state." Zisangyi looked around the house and began to sigh inexplicably, her eyes filled with a clear-headedness that was hard to understand.
Zi Sangyi confessed everything, which surprised Xu Yuehuai. She had always thought that Zi Sangyi had found a place to hide and slack off, or was doing something else, but she never expected that it would be related to Wei Shengliu in front of her.
Zi Sangyi didn't intend to change the subject, but he felt that there were some things that Xu Yuehuai should know, so he brought it up. After he finished speaking, he led Xu Yuehuai to the courtyard. "Go ahead and say it. I know you came here this time because you have something to ask me. I also know that you sent those little things along before."
Xu Yuehuai snapped out of her daze, her emotions suddenly changing. "I want to know why all my memories after we arrived in Cangwu City disappeared? Why did I suddenly appear in the sect and faint for so long?"
"And why can't everyone remember what happened back then, and why doesn't anyone seem to want to investigate?" Xu Yuehuai didn't understand any of these things. She wanted to figure it out, but she couldn't recall the key information. It was as if her brain was covered by a layer of fog.
Zisang looked into the distance, her eyes perhaps filled with sorrow, or perhaps with resentment and worry. "This matter is much more complicated than you think. I don't recommend that you continue to investigate further. Let's stop here. Since everyone is alright, that's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Besides, Cangwu City is very safe. Isn't that enough?"
Zi Sangyi's eyes seemed to see right through people's hearts as she looked at Xu Yuehuai's face, leaving her nowhere to hide. "How can you just throw this away like that? This belongs to me. Why did it disappear so inexplicably? And after it disappeared, I can't even take any action to investigate. This is very unfair to me!"
Xu Yuehuai's tone became more forceful, clearly tinged with anger. Zisangyi could understand the source of her anger, but the matter behind it was truly beyond their purview. "Let's put this matter aside for now. You'll naturally find out what happened later. At least for now, this matter has no impact on you and is even in your favor."
Zisangyi's words made Xu Yuehuai's mind even more confused. For a moment, she really didn't know who to believe, her own memories or the master in front of her who had been with her day and night for so long.
"Don't think about that for now. I heard from Fu Ziyi and those other kids that you want to go to the ruins, is that right?" Zi Sangyi changed the subject to something else, which happened to be something Xu Yuehuai was interested in and wanted to do.
Xu Yuehua nodded, and Poison Sting did not refute. She knew she shouldn't throw a tantrum at this time. This was an important matter, and she couldn't afford to cause trouble at will. "Yes, when I left the sect, I heard that the major sects had already begun discussing entering the ruins, is that right?"
Seeing her like this, Zi Sangyi knew that this girl was determined to go. He didn't intend to say these things here, but simply said to Xu Yuehuai, "Let's go. I've been here long enough. Let's go back to the sect first, and I will naturally explain everything to you."
The two returned to the sect in the afternoon of the next day. Shangguan Xi and the others also returned to the sect, but as soon as they got back, they learned that Xu Yuehuai had gone out and that they were to wait in the sect. Nangong Yu squatted there, with some resentment in his eyes, "Senior Sister didn't take us with her this time. She really treats us like children."
After this incident, Fu Ziyi didn't know why, but he didn't feel as much hostility towards Nangong Yu anymore. He said, "She probably thought of something and didn't want us to get into danger together, so that's why she said that."
This was deduced by Fu Ziyi based on past events, and it wasn't difficult. In reality, everyone knows this principle, but whether they are willing to believe it is another matter entirely.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu indeed fell silent, unwilling to speak, her face showing a reluctant expression, as if she had suffered some great injustice.
The people around him didn't seem interested in paying attention to him and were busy with their own things.
After returning to the sect, Xu Yuehuai did not go to see them immediately. Instead, she followed Zisangyi to the main hall. The main hall was usually only used for discussing important matters, and Xu Yuehuai did not understand why they said that matters had to be discussed here.
But when she stepped into the room and saw the people sitting inside, she looked around in confusion and asked, "Elders, what brings you here?"
Inside the main hall, elders of the sect sat on both sides, including the Grand Elder and others. When Xu Yuehuai looked at the Grand Elder, she simply smiled gently at Xu Yuehuai and nodded, without giving any further hints.
Zi Sangyi sat in the main seat, looking at Xu Yuehuai below, with an indescribable arrogance in her eyes. "Today, regarding the matter of the ruins, the elders and I will explain it to you in detail. You must remember that this is a responsibility you must bear as the senior sister. There is no selfishness involved, understand?"
Zi Sangyi looked at her with a serious expression in his eyes. Xu Yuehuai had never seen Zi Sangyi like this before, and she was a little surprised. Most of the time, Zi Sangyi was a carefree and joking person, and only occasionally would he be so serious, let alone look at her like this. Xu Yuehuai raised her hand and bowed in the direction of Zi Sangyi, "Disciple will remember."
After Xu Yuehuai finished speaking, Zisangyi looked at the Fifth Elder beside him. The Fifth Elder stood up and said sternly, "You must know something about the ruins. Something strange has happened to the ruins recently. The people on the first floor are ignoring it, so we have to send people to repair the ruins."
