871 Memory Recovery
A trace of dense amazement flashed across everyone’s eyes. Other than being stunned, the fear in their hearts seemed to have dissipated. The morning light shone behind him, casting his face into the dark. However, even though they did not see who he was, everyone still seemed to have found their backbone.
When he got closer, everyone finally saw his face clearly and could not help but be stunned.
This was… the Second Young Master?
No, that’s not it!
The Second Young Master did not have such powerful martial arts, nor did he have the temperament of a ruler.
But to say that it was the ancestor… It was not true either.
The ancestor was not so young…
Everyone looked at Yan Jiuchao with their mouths agape. Someone mustered their courage and asked, “Who are you?”
Yan Jiuchao did not say anything. He carried the unconscious Sikong Changfeng into the house.
The disciples of the Chaoyang Hall and the experts of the Sikong family hurriedly followed. However, the moment they approached the room, Yan Jiuchao’s internal energy trembled and he closed the door with a bang.
Everyone looked at each other.
“Who is he?”
“I don’t know!”
If it was because of his face in the past, many people in the Sikong family would have recognized him as the second young master. However, after that glance just now, no one connected him to Sikong Yun.
“He has the aura of the ancestor.”
“Could he be the Ancestor’s last disciple?”
“But… I’ve never heard of the Ancestor taking in a disciple!”
Everyone discussed for a long time, but they could not come to a conclusion.
At this moment, Master Sikong arrived.
The Sang family’s sneak attack on the Nether Mountain was not the only one. The direction of the Saintess Hall was also attacked by experts. Master Sikong led more than ten experts of the Sikong family to guard for half the night before the battle finally ended at dawn.
The Sang family had placed their most elite forces in the Chaoyang Hall. The experts who attacked the Saintess Hall at night were not very powerful. The Sikong family did not suffer heavy casualties, but they were still in trouble.
When everyone saw Master Sikong walk over, they bowed to him.
“How’s the situation here?” Master Sikong asked. When they were fighting just now, he had used all his strength. Therefore, although he sensed the commotion in the Nether Mountain, he could not leave.
A guard from the Sikong family reported the situation in the Chaoyang Hall truthfully. Master Sikong had expected the Sang family to be ruthless, so when he heard that a Level Seven Asura King and two Level Six Asura Kings had come, his reaction was not too surprised. However, when he heard that the most powerful Asura King had actually died at Sikong Changfeng’s hands, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
After a long while, he found his voice. “Why would Changfeng…”
“Young Master took the Hundred Phoenix Pill…” The guard paused and said sadly,” An entire bottle.”
Master Sikong felt dizzy and staggered back a few steps. He clenched his fists and said, “Why is he so stupid? Can he… eat so much of that thing? Where is he? How is he now?”
“Eldest Young Master has gone crazy… Second…” The guard wanted to say that Second Young Master had appeared in time and brought him into the room, but when the words reached his lips, he felt that it was not Second Young Master, so he changed his words. “Someone saved Eldest Young Master. They’re in the room.”
The sky was bright, and golden morning light shone through the crack of the door and landed on Yu Wan’s tightly shut eyes. Yu Wan raised her hand to block it and suddenly woke up.
She sat up.
Was it dawn?
She quickly looked to her side. Three naked little fellows were sleeping at the foot of the bed. Yan Jiuchao was nowhere to be seen.
“Yan Jiuchao!” She quickly lifted the blanket to look for him, but she saw two tall and muscular figures on the ground. One of them was Shadow Six, and the other—
Yu Wan walked over warily and sized him up. She said suspiciously, “Isn’t this the expert from the Sang family who chased after Ah Wei yesterday? What level is the Asura King?”
Yu Wan took Shadow Six’s pulse. He had only fainted and was fine. Then, Yu Wan probed that person’s nose. He was still breathing. Strange, why would he fall in her room with Shadow Six? Could it be that the Sang family had sent him to ambush them last night but was stopped by Shadow Six?
“Alright, Shadow Six, I didn’t expect a scout sacrificial soldier like you to have such powerful abilities!” Yu Wan touched her chin and thought of something. She narrowed her eyes. Forget it, she would send it to her Asura!
Yu Wan grabbed the Level Six Asura King on the ground and dragged him to the secret room. After doing this, Yu Wan heard the commotion in the front yard. She dusted her hands and walked to the front yard.
Yan Jiuchao and Sikong Changfeng had been in for two hours. Master Sikong called out twice, but there was no response. Gradually, everyone could not wait anymore.
“Why are they in there for so long?”
“What is he doing?”
“Is Young Master alright?”
“What happened?” Yu Wan walked over.
When Master Sikong saw that it was her, his expression relaxed, but soon, he frowned. “Last night, the Sang family sent assassins over. In order to resist them, Changfeng took a large amount of secret medicine and went crazy. Young Master Yan and Changfeng have been locked up inside for two hours. I wonder how the situation is. By the way, are you and the children alright?”
“I’m fine.” Yu Wan shook her head and looked at the closed door. “I’ll go take a look.”
Master Sikong quickly nodded. “Okay.”
Yu Wan walked towards the room, but after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped. She turned around and smiled. “Master… actually cares about Eldest Young Master, right?”
Master Sikong opened his mouth.
Yu Wan smiled and said, “The back and palm of your hand are meat, but your palm is thicker than the back of your hand. However, it still hurts if you hurt the back of your hand, right?”
Master Sikong did not know how to answer. He did not have the same feelings for his first wife as his step-wife, and even he could not be impartial to his two sons. However, they were biological children after all, so how could he not dote on them?
The moment he found out that he did not hesitate to destroy himself to protect the Nether Mountain, Master Sikong was extremely ashamed. The first thing he thought of was not how important the Nether Mountain was to Sikong Changfeng, but how unimportant his life was in Sikong Changfeng’s heart.
He could die for the Ancestor, he could die for the Ten Thousand Gu King… Did he think that no one in the world cared about him, so he died without any worries?
Master Sikong paused. “If it were you… would you do that?”
“No,” Yu Wan said firmly. “There are too many people in the world that I can’t let go of. I can’t bear to die. I believe Yan Jiuchao is the same. We won’t make reckless sacrifices. We’ll think of all the ways to live.”
Master Sikong muttered, “There’s no other way last night, right?” He did not give up his life easily. He was forced to do so.
Yu Wan smiled faintly. He could not answer this question for Sikong Changfeng, but she believed that Master Sikong actually already had an answer in his heart.
Yu Wan walked up the steps and came to the house. Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock, the door creaked open.
Yan Jiuchao walked out with a calm expression.
Yu Wan looked at him and then at Sikong Changfeng, who was lying motionless on the bed. She asked, “Are the two of you alright?”
“What can happen to me?” Yan Jiuchao said coldly.
“What about him?” Yu Wan asked.
Yan Jiuchao snorted arrogantly. “Yu Ah Wan, don’t tell me you think I can’t settle a qi deviation?”
“So you’re saying that he’s fine?” Yu Wan’s eyes lit up and she smiled. “My husband is really powerful!” As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. She looked at Yan Jiuchao. “What… what did you call me just now?”
“Nothing.” Yan Jiuchao walked down the steps expressionlessly.
Yu Wan blinked and chased after him. “You called me Yu Ah Wan!”
“You heard wrongly,” Yan Jiuchao said with a straight face.
“I… I didn’t hear it wrongly! You called me Yu Ah Wan! Don’t you remember?”
“No.”
“No?” Yu Wan was stunned. “That’s not right! You didn’t even ask me if I asked you what you remembered. You just said no! You, you, you… you remembered!”
“I didn’t!” Yan Jiuchao strode back into the room. Before Yu Wan could catch up, he closed the door and bolted it!
“You want to leave just like that after escaping my marriage?”
“I’ll marry you tonight. Don’t even think about escaping!”
“Woman, you’d better not play any tricks. Stay here obediently. Wear the wedding dress later and marry me. This time, I won’t allow you to escape again!”
“Heh, I’ve long heard that you found a pretty boy in the Central Plains… He’s called Yan Jiuchao, right?”
“Are you tired of living?! Believe me, you don’t want to see my torture methods!”
“My sons, Dabao, Er’bao, Xiaobao, they’re also your sons after the wedding!”
“Then… who did you have the children with?”
“Of course it’s with the woman I love!”
“Jiang Batian, are you jealous?”
…
…
…
Memories that he could not bear to look at flashed across his mind. Yan Jiuchao’s ears turned red. He held his forehead in shame.
Were those retarded words really said by him?
He-he really wants to die!
