“Xiao Ye?”
Gu Ruoyun’s gaze turned towards Qianbei Ye, but she saw that he was frowning in deep thought. After a long while, he shook his head and said: “I don’t remember. I can’t remember anything from the past.”
“You don’t remember? Haha, did you think that you could forget all the wrongs you’ve committed in the past just by saying you don’t remember? Forget all the people you’ve killed? Qianbei Ye, I thought you had disappeared in the passing of time. I never imagined that you would appear here. Your power was so tremendous, I don’t believe that there’s anyone who could seal your memories. You were the one who sealed them yourself!”
You were the one who sealed them yourself?
Astonishment flashed across Gu Ruoyun’s eyes. What did Zixie mean by that? Did he just say, that the one who sealed Qianbei Ye’s memories, was Qianbei Ye himself?
Why did he do that?
Qianbei Ye sunk into silence, his brow knitted in pain. A few broken pieces of memory flashed across his mind.
In those pieces, a girl dressed in white was riding a dragon into the sky, above the clouds. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t see the girl’s face clearly. However, just that shallow image made his heart clench in pain.
It was pain he had never felt before, as if ten thousand arrows were piercing his heart.
“Xiao Ye?”
Gu Ruoyun saw that Qianbei Ye had turned pale from the pain, and hurriedly stopped his recollection: “If you can’t recall, then forget about it.”
“No!” Qianbei Ye raised his head to look at Gu Ruoyun, “Xiao Yun, I want to know what kind of person I was in the past. I know you can help me. Even if I really did something I can never atone for, I must bear this burden. Sealing memories is something only a coward would do!”
Gu Ruoyun smiled lightly: “Alright, I’ll help you. Zixie, do you have any methods?”
Zixie turned away from her. She wanted to make him help this bastard? No way.
“Zixie!”
It was the first time Gu Ruoyun had ever seen Zixie this uncooperative. She couldn’t help but hold her forehead helplessly: “I don’t know what kind of grudge both of you have, but since you hate him so much, shouldn’t you make him remember the wrongs he has committed? Consider it his punishment.”
Hearing this, Zixie sunk into silence.
“Girl, you’re right. Qianbei Ye, I know I can’t kill you right now, but I won’t let you have an easy life! I want you to remember everything you’ve ever done, I want you to live eternally in regret and self-blame! Because you were the one who caused that person’s death! Did you think you could escape it all by sealing your memory? I won’t let you get off so easily.”
This man had always stood above the gods. That existence that had always been looking down on all life from the top, he had never imagined that he would lose his way and fall into evil. Even though his appearance and smell had changed, the soul deep in his bones had never changed since the beginning…
Zixie sneered and turned towards Gu Ruoyun as he said: “However, I have to remind you, girl. This guy isn’t a good person, don’t trust him too much. He used to be a god, but now he’s only a demon!”
Having said so, he had no reason left to stay, and he disappeared in a flash in front of the two of them…
All was suddenly silent within the room.
After a long time, a man spoke up in a careful tone.
“Xiao Yun, you wouldn’t… not believe me, would you?”
Gu Ruoyun’s distracted gaze met with that especially careful gaze. There was tension and fear in those eyes, as well as a longing that could not be expressed in words…
