Chapter 85: Non-existent memories have increased

Although Lu Hanwen always felt his younger sister's attitude was a bit strange, Lu Zhiruo made a lot of sense, so he let the matter be:

"Very well, follow me. I will arrange two rooms for you to have a good night's rest.

"Tomorrow morning, we shall gather at this large tent." This book was first published on the Zhui Shu Shen Qi Tian Tian Kan Xiao Shuo app, ttk. tw, which is super convenient and provides you with an error-free, non-disordered reading experience.

"Then I shall trouble Brother Hanwen," Feng Zi said with a smile, then took Qing Lin's hand and walked out of the large tent.

But before he had walked more than a few steps, a call came from beside his ear: "Please stay a moment."

Feng Zi looked toward the source of the sound and saw the young lady Miaokong, who had not participated in the discussion at all, walking gracefully toward him.

Seeing the person approaching, Lu Hanwen, who was leading the way ahead, was also very puzzled:

Having been here for many days, he knew well that this Daoist Miaokong had an extraordinary background and a rather reclusive temperament; if she were not willing, no one could make her speak.

And now, this young lady had actually taken the initiative to seek out Feng Zi!

"Could it be that my eyes are truly dull, and I cannot see the miraculous aspects of Brother Feng Zi?" Lu Hanwen wondered to himself.

Just as Lu Hanwen was letting his imagination run wild, Feng Zi's mind was blank, and he only looked at Miaokong with a puzzled expression:

"Miss Miaokong, are you speaking to me?"

He had not fantasized about whether the other party had any intentions toward him:

Judging by the attitude of Daoist Yue Hong, the identity of this Miss Miaokong was likely far beyond his imagination.

Since that was the case, the reason she sought him out could only concern some official business he was not yet aware of, right?

Facing Feng Zi's blank and confused gaze, Miaokong stared at his face with a serious expression.

For a long time, until Feng Zi could barely contain himself, the other party spoke again, but asked a question that made the expressions of Qing Lin and Lu Zhiruo change:

"I know this question may be very strange; if it is offensive, please forgive me.

"May I ask, does your Excellency have another name, for example... Cun Xin?"

The moment she heard this question, Qing Lin had already subconsciously gripped the saber at her waist, and Lu Zhiruo also moved quietly behind Qing Lin—

The pseudonym Feng Zi used while traveling was indeed Cun Xin, but the only people who should be able to connect these two names were the three of them!

Lu Hanwen naturally sensed this suddenly changed, subtle atmosphere.

Although he was full of confusion, he still subconsciously chose to stand on Feng Zi's side, quietly shielding the two women behind him.

As for the "small movements" of these three, Miaokong naturally saw them, but she only pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Looking at it this way, it seems I guessed correctly?"

To this, Feng Zi only secretly complained in his heart about his companions' "immaturity," but he spoke nonsense with a straight face:

"'Cun Xin'? What a strange name. Is that a person's name? How is this name written?"

"The 'Cun' of 'square inch', the 'Xin' of 'Dao heart'; Fellow Daoist Feng Zi should be more familiar with this name than I am, right?"

Seeing Feng Zi talking nonsense, Miaokong still explained patiently, a playful smile hanging on her face.

Since the other party had said as much, Feng Zi could only shrug helplessly:

"That is correct, I do indeed have a name called 'Cun Xin', but how did Miss Miaokong know?"

But to his surprise, Miaokong answered his question with an even stranger one:

"Since your Excellency Feng Zi is 'Cun Xin', may I ask, have you ever heard the titles 'Lunar Saintess' or 'Taisu Profound Immortal'?"

Lunar Saintess? Taisu Profound Immortal? They sounded like very powerful beings; could such beings be related to him?

Hearing these two titles, Feng Zi tilted his head in confusion and fell into deep thought.

But even after he recalled the memories of his past life, he could not remember where he had heard these titles at all.

In the end, he just shook his head helplessly and said: "Miss Miaokong, I am very sorry, I have no idea about these titles; you may have found the wrong person."

But Miaokong clearly did not believe this explanation; for a moment, she disregarded etiquette, stepped forward, and grabbed Feng Zi's sleeve:

"Please, your Excellency, think about it carefully again; this question is very important!"

Seeing the other party's behavior increasingly exceeding his limit of tolerance, Qing Lin had already gritted her teeth and was about to act the next moment.

Feng Zi naturally sensed Qing Lin's alertness and anger, so he quickly shook his head at her, then quietly pulled his sleeve away:

"Miss Miaokong, I can understand your feelings, but please also understand—

"I am from Wutai County, and before this, I had not even left my hometown; it is impossible for me to know any big shots named 'Taisu Profound Immortal'."

Seeing this, Lu Hanwen took the opportunity to step forward and separate the two, gently persuading:

"Miss Miaokong, Brother Feng Zi has been through a long journey, and tomorrow he must throw himself into the heavy responsibility of suppressing the Beast Tide; please let him rest for a day.

"If you still have any questions in your heart... please be patient for now and wait until the matter is settled, shall we?"

Feng Zi had to admit that Lu Hanwen was worthy of being from a prominent family; this speech was truly unique and well-spoken.

Miaokong also realized her loss of composure, quickly took a few steps back, and said apologetically: "I apologize..."

"It is nothing." Feng Zi naturally did not take this small interlude to heart and just answered casually.

He casually soothed the "bristling" Qing Lin, and the group left the large tent under Lu Hanwen's guidance.

Watching Feng Zi gradually move away, Miaokong took out a square Grey Jade Tablet and poured her True Qi into it.

Before long, a faint light appeared on the jade tablet.

Seeing this, Miaokong immediately said respectfully: "Master, this disciple has an urgent matter to report."

The next moment, a cold female voice came from the jade tablet: "Master knows; you have already found Cun Xin, right?"

Hearing this unexpected answer, Miaokong was stunned and asked subconsciously: "You already knew?"

"As early as when you set off, Master already knew about this matter," the cold female voice informed her frankly.

Facing her beloved disciple, the other party did not conceal anything:

"The reason you are outside Yangquan City at this moment and 'happened' to meet that person is all thanks to Ancestor Taisu's personal divination.

"Do not doubt; what kind of existence is the Ancestor? Her eyes can see through all the mists of Tianyuan, and her deductions can discern all futures; your actions will surely lead to the best result!"

As a true disciple of the Lunar Star Palace, Miaokong had known of the various mysteries of the Taisu Profound Immortal since she was young.

But she still could not help but remind her master: "But... that person claims he does not know any 'Lunar Saintess' or 'Taisu Profound Immortal'."

"Your master knows, and the Patriarch has long known as well." That cold, clear voice remained as it always was, without the slightest fluctuation:

"The Patriarch's decree states that we should let things take their natural course; there is no need to place any more pressure upon Cun Xin."

"That day... will not be long from now."

"This disciple acknowledges the order!" Miaokong replied respectfully upon hearing this.

Not until the faint glow on the jade tablet dissipated did she put it away, though she felt somewhat uneasy and muttered to herself:

Patriarch Taisu has already lived through long, long years; when He attained the Dao, the Five Great Immortal Dynasties of the human race had not yet been established—

Just how many more years must one wait for what He refers to as "not long"?
