Chapter 1023: I Want to Follow You Too!

Looking at the old lady's appearance, Ning Chen fell silent.

The old lady continued speaking.

According to the old lady's description, Ning Chen learned that Shiya's mother was also a Guardian, and after giving birth to her, Shiya's mother died during a mission.

Unable to bear the blow, the old lady had refused to acknowledge Shiya all this time, trapping herself in this building.

Only when Shiya's life was threatened did she step forward to save Shiya from the Conggui Sect.

Although Shiya was barely clinging to life at the time, such an act was undoubtedly defying heaven to change fate; consequently, Shiya lost her memories and was sent by the old lady to the door of a very kind family.

"Sigh, originally I just wanted her to live a normal life like an ordinary person, but who knew that fate would play such tricks."

The old lady's voice was full of vicissitudes, and a sobbing tone leaked through it.

"So, Ning Chen, do you understand? Now, the only hope to save Shiya is you."

Looking at the old lady who had turned around, her eyes filled with pleading, Ning Chen nodded.

Even if the old lady hadn't said it, Ning Chen would also do his utmost to save Shiya.

After all, she was the one he loved; for so many years, he had also been making efforts for Shiya.

Now that he knows Shiya is not dead, the one with the most hope is none other than Ning Chen.

"Rest assured, I will do whatever it takes to keep Shiya here."

Whether it was because the firmness in Ning Chen's eyes was too intense or not, at this moment the old lady felt that Ning Chen was truly omnipotent.

The old lady glanced at the clock on the wall, then waved her hand; the surrounding smoke instantly dispersed, and the three people lying down slowly woke up.

"Hiss, what... what happened to us?"

Lin Yi supported his heavy head and got up; he himself had last remained in a patch of smoke.

The other two felt the same way; they got off the bed, looked at Ning Chen and the old lady sitting face to face, and their eyes were all filled with confusion.

"Time is up; if you don't go back now, you will have to stay."

The old lady waved her hand, turned around, stepped into the darkness behind her, and disappeared.

The young lady nearby got up and, smiling as usual, said: "Everyone, let me take you out; the power of the tea we gave you is about to fade."

Gu Yanqi actually had many, many questions she wanted to ask, but looking at the direction where the old lady disappeared, she could only give up.

Immediately, Gu Yanqi shifted her gaze to Ning Chen; after all, the old lady's words were very clear: the only way to find memories now is to follow Ning Chen.

The young lady led the four people into the elevator and brought them downstairs.

At this moment, they realized that the sky outside had already begun to lighten slightly.

They didn't expect that an entire night had already passed.

The young lady sent the four people to the door, and through the gate that had not yet closed, she smiled as she watched their figures.

Facing Huo Jinglin, who had not spoken until now, suddenly turned around; looking at the young lady, he said nervously.

"Hello, my name is Facing Huo Jinglin. I think... I want to know your name!"

The young lady seemed to be stunned for a moment, then broke into a smile: "Jinghong. My name is Jinghong."

The gate slowly closed; Facing Huo Jinglin stared blankly ahead, his mind still lingering on the young lady's smile.

Lin Yi could naturally sense Facing Huo Jinglin's condition; he patted Facing Huo Jinglin's shoulder and teased: "Yo, our idol Huo, have you fallen for her?"

This time, Facing Huo Jinglin did not brush off Lin Yi's hand; instead, he replied: "Mm."

Lin Yi looked at Facing Huo Jinglin in surprise, not knowing for a moment whether to marvel at Facing Huo Jinglin's honesty or at the fact that he had fallen for someone else.

"Um, Mr. Ning Chen."

Gu Yanqi followed beside Ning Chen and spoke somewhat apprehensively.

Ning Chen turned back and stood still, staring straight at her; the tenderness in his eyes was completely unhidden.

"Mm?"

"Can I... follow you... follow you guys?"

Gu Yanqi originally wanted to say "follow you," but saying that made it seem a bit deliberate, so it became "you guys."

Ning Chen did not respond to her words; instead, he turned his head to look aside.

"The sun has come out."

Attracted by Ning Chen's words, Gu Yanqi looked over too; she saw a ray of sunlight shooting out from the horizon, like a sharp sword, cutting through the darkness and rising toward the sun.

Not long after, Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin were also attracted by the sunrise.

The four of them just stood there, watching the sun rise bit by bit.

"Let's go, keep up."

Suddenly, Ning Chen turned and walked toward the RV.

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Gu Yanqi was slightly stunned for a moment; then she understood that Ning Chen was responding to her question just now.

Gu Yanqi felt a warmth in her heart and chased after Ning Chen.

She had always felt that although Ning Chen seemed to keep people at a distance on the surface, his heart was actually extremely gentle.

"Hey, hey, hey, you two, wait for us!"

Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin, who had been left behind, reacted quickly and hurriedly ran toward the RV.

Upon arriving at the RV, Lin Yi keenly sensed the change in Ning Chen's attitude toward Gu Yanqi; he gave Facing Huo Jinglin a look.

Whether it was because he had someone he liked or not, Facing Huo Jinglin reacted particularly quickly.

"Ahem, Miss Gu, could you please step aside for a moment? We have something we want to discuss, a topic about men."

Saying this, Facing Huo Jinglin stopped speaking, as if the following words were truly quite private.

Hearing Facing Huo Jinglin's words, Gu Yanqi nodded, then got up and went to the room where she had rested before, closing the door tightly.

Watching Gu Yanqi enter the room, Lin Yi quickly said in a low voice: "How is it, Ning Chen? Is this Shiya?"

Since they would find out sooner or later, Ning Chen had no intention of hiding it; he nodded.

Seeing this, Lin Yi was overjoyed; he shook Ning Chen's arm and said, "Great, great! Does that mean she'll be my sister-in-law from now on?"

Ning Chen pulled Lin Yi's hand away, briefly recounted what the old lady had said, and of course, he did not mention the matter of the Space-Time Path.

Presumably, the old lady had drugged everyone to prevent them from learning this.

"Ah? So you mean the sister-in-law can only recover her memories by staying with you; otherwise, she has only five years left to live?"
