Chapter 137: Amnesia

~7 min read 1,336 words

It was mainly because the itinerary was too rushed; otherwise, Lu Fang could have mastered a large amount of information before coming to the trial grounds, so he wouldn't have to be so conflicted.

"Zhao Qingzhu..."

Lu Fang muttered to himself and took out the bloodline white jade to perceive it carefully, but he didn't have any special feeling.

That shouldn't be!

If it wasn't a dream, but he had really met Zhao Qingzhu in person, this bloodline white jade made from Lu Ling's essence blood should have had some movement.

Was it because the distance was still very far?

Moreover, what he heard from the ascetic monk before was that there was heavy fog when entering that place, and there was no sound of birds or insects, which was completely different from the current situation.

Lu Fang couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it. He walked around with the bloodline white jade. Because it was dark, he only realized after reacting that fog had risen all around, the kind of heavy fog where one couldn't see clearly at a distance of three feet.

The sound of birds and cicadas also disappeared abruptly.

Encountering such a weird scene, Lu Fang was pleasantly surprised rather than shocked. The reason why the bloodline white jade had no movement just now was indeed because of the distance.

After entering this peculiar place, the bloodline white jade in his hand flickered faintly with fluorescence. Now he finally confirmed that everything that happened just now was not a dream.

After searching for a circle, Lu Fang didn't perceive anything different. Until daytime, the thick fog still hadn't dispersed, and the entrance to the underground palace hadn't been found.

"Perhaps I can still see her while in the cultivation state."

Lu Fang hesitated. Now there was no good way, so he could only sit cross-legged and continue to cultivate. This time he waited for a long time, but he didn't enter that state again.

From daytime until dark, Lu Fang fell asleep again during cultivation.

Unsurprisingly, he saw that ancient castle with only an outline again. As the space twisted, Zhao Qingzhu appeared again.

Lu Fang said somewhat excitedly, "I finally see you again. I searched for a long time but still didn't find the entrance to that underground palace. I hope you can tell me. Believe me, I will definitely be able to save you."

Zhao Qingzhu said somewhat surprised, "You know me?"

Lu Fang said somewhat hesitantly, "Didn't we talk yesterday? You told me your name is Zhao Qingzhu, and I am Lu Ling's..."

He said again what he had said yesterday.

Zhao Qingzhu listened and tears kept flowing, saying, "Is Ling'er doing well? What does she look like? Is she fat or thin?"

Lu Fang wanted to take out Lu Ling's portrait from his storage bag, but after being busy for a long time, he realized that he was now in a peculiar state and couldn't take anything out of the storage bag.

He gestured somewhat and said, "Ling'er looks almost exactly like you. She really misses you. You tell me where the entrance to the underground palace is, and I will save you."

This peculiar state didn't seem to last long. He didn't ask why Zhao Qingzhu had forgotten yesterday's events, but directly asked about the location of the entrance.

Zhao Qingzhu, like yesterday, shook her head and said, "You cannot enter here; it is too dangerous. You go out and help me take care of Ling'er. I really didn't mean to..."

Her attitude was very firm. No matter how Lu Fang asked, she didn't tell him the entrance to the underground palace.

Just like that, the space began to twist again. Lu Fang opened his eyes again, and all he could see was thick fog.

Why would it be like this?

He had clearly met Zhao Qingzhu twice, yet she had forgotten.

Was it because of the special place she was in?

However, what made Lu Fang somewhat helpless was that Zhao Qingzhu's heart was very firm these two times. Once she heard his relationship with Lu Ling, she wouldn't tell him the entrance to the underground palace.

It seemed that he didn't need to tell her his relationship with Lu Ling next time, and perhaps he would be able to know the entrance to the underground palace.

If Zhao Qingzhu didn't have amnesia, that would be even better, so he could talk more with her.

To figure out whether Zhao Qingzhu could enter that peculiar state at any time, Lu Fang didn't go around looking for the entrance this time, but kept sitting cross-legged and cultivating.

He wanted to see how long it would take to enter that peculiar place.

Until dark.

It was still that time point.

Lu Fang entered that peculiar place again. After seeing Zhao Qingzhu, he didn't directly say everything about Lu Ling, but quietly observed.

Sure enough, Zhao Qingzhu had forgotten what happened before. She looked at Lu Fang and didn't speak, her expression very calm.

Finally, Lu Fang tested, "Is this a dream?"

Zhao Qingzhu nodded with a smile and didn't say anything.

Lu Fang smiled and said, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Zhao Qingzhu shook her head and remained silent.

If Lu Fang had talked to her before, he would have thought she couldn't speak in the first place, which made him somewhat confused.

Lu Fang reminded, "Is there anything you need my help with?"

Zhao Qingzhu smiled slightly: "Why would you ask that?"

Lu Fang feigned ignorance: "Because I met you. If there is nothing I need to help with, that's not reasonable. You can rest assured and say it. If I can help you, I will definitely do it."

Zhao Qingzhu shook her head with a smile and said, "I don't have anything I need you to help me with. This is just a dream."

Lu Fang was stunned. He hadn't expected this situation. Even if he didn't say his relationship with Lu Ling, Zhao Qingzhu still didn't say the entrance to the underground palace.

That's not right!

She had clearly told the ascetic monk before.

Having reached this point, it was no longer realistic for Lu Fang to want to continue hiding it, so he simply asked the doubt in his heart directly:

"I have a senior brother who is an ascetic monk. He met you before. You told him there was an entrance to an underground palace. Can you tell me? Perhaps I can save you."

Zhao Qingzhu wiped her tears and revealed a look of recollection, saying, "It was indeed more than ten years ago that I met an ascetic monk."

She paused and changed the subject, "Is Ling'er doing well? What does she look like? Is she like me or like her father? How tall is she?"

All the topics revolved around Lu Ling, directly ignoring the entrance to the underground palace and the ascetic monk that Lu Fang had asked about.

Until the end, Lu Fang still didn't get what he wanted from her mouth.

Lu Fang, who opened his eyes again from the peculiar state, scratched his head somewhat depressedly. From these three conversations with Zhao Qingzhu, he could roughly feel the specific situation.

Zhao Qingzhu could tell the ascetic monk the location of the underground palace entrance before, perhaps because she didn't know the danger of the underground palace at that time.

Now that she knew the danger, she didn't tell the location of the entrance, not because she was targeting people related to Lu Ling, but because she wouldn't tell anyone.

Because she thought it was dangerous there and didn't want anyone to go.

As for Zhao Qingzhu still remembering the ascetic monk, it should be because of that special place. Ten years ago, she wouldn't have amnesia. This amnesia wouldn't forget the previous ones, and it might be that she only started having amnesia like this recently. ===== CHAPTER 138 =====
