Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 268 Information about the Predecessor

After saying this, the Third Miss nodded to Wu Qi, then turned and left the room with her maid. Mr. Huang, who had been waiting nearby, respectfully escorted the Third Miss out.

The lost items must be recovered as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous, and the loss is incalculable! In addition, the affairs of the more than ten palace guards who unfortunately died need to be dealt with urgently, and all of these need to be decided by her personally.

The third young lady was already troubled, and now she couldn't get any useful clues or information from Wu Ming. She had no choice but to return for the time being to deal with the many difficult issues at hand.

After the Third Young Lady left, the old man slowly turned to Wu Ming and solemnly warned him, "Wu Qi, you must remember that you are a guard of the Bai Mansion. You failed in your mission this time, and according to common sense, you should be punished.

However, in view of your bravery and hard fighting in the face of the enemy, the Third Miss not only showed you mercy and exempted you from the punishment you deserved, but also specially invited a doctor to treat your injuries and allocated an additional one hundred taels of silver as a reward.

This kindness is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea! Therefore, you must remember the Third Miss's deep affection and kindness in your heart and never let her down."

After he finished speaking, the old man carefully observed Wu Ming's expression, but he saw that his face was expressionless, as if he was completely unmoved by what he had just said. However, the old man did not take it to heart, because he knew that Wu Qi might not be able to fully understand some things due to his amnesia.

But this is not a big deal. He still has to say what he needs to say. I believe that when Wu Qi's amnesia is cured in the future, he will naturally understand the deep meaning of it.

"Li Yue, as Wu Qi's best friend, you must take great care of him over the next few days! You must make sure he recovers from his injuries as quickly as possible and regains his lost memories. Do you understand?"

Seeing that Wu Qi had no reaction, Mr. Huang had to turn around again and solemnly instruct the young man standing beside him.

The young man named Li Yue nodded quickly after hearing what Mr. Huang said, "Don't worry, Mr. Huang, I've got it all down."

Huang Lao nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction, and then said, "Alright, I'll arrange for a doctor to come and see him. You just stay here and take good care of him. See if you can help him recall some of his past events."

With that, Old Huang left the room without hesitation. After all, as the Bai Mansion's second steward and a veteran with extensive experience, he had a vast array of duties to attend to and manage, and he couldn't possibly stay with Wu Qi for long. After properly convening the remaining matters, he hurried away.

At this moment, the room was silent, with only Li Yue and Wu Qi, who was still at a loss, facing each other.

Yue stared intently at this close friend in front of him, who was once very close to him but now seemed to have no memory of him at all, and an indescribable feeling of loss arose in his heart.

He opened his mouth slightly, and said slowly in a voice as soft as the breeze blowing across the lake: "Aqi, can it be that you really can't remember anything about me at all?"

Hearing this, Wu Qi met Li Yue's eyes, which were full of expectation and a little sadness. He shook his head gently and said in a sincere and helpless tone: "I'm sorry, I really can't remember anything."

After saying that, he subconsciously avoided Li Yue's sight, because he really couldn't bear to see the disappointment in his eyes. However, at that moment, he suddenly thought of a saying - "Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife."

So, the words that were on the tip of his tongue to explain everything were swallowed back.

At this moment, Li Yue forced a faint smile on his face and said soothingly, "It's okay. If you really can't remember, then forget it. Anyway, even if we start over, we can still be good friends again!"

Although this smile looks a little bitter, the sincerity contained in it cannot be concealed.

Looking at Li Yue's face, which was trying hard to maintain a smile, Wu Qi's heart couldn't help but move. He could clearly feel that the young man standing in front of him truly regarded him as a friend.

This sincere emotion was like a ray of warm sunshine, penetrating the thick wall of defense deep in his heart. Gradually, Wu Qi relaxed and completely let go of the vigilance that had been lingering in his heart.

"Can you tell me about my past? Including my relationship with the people around me." Wu Ming asked with a confused look on his face. He was eager to figure out what the situation was like in this strange world he was in.

"That's no problem at all. Maybe as you listen you'll be able to recover your lost memories!" Li Yue responded readily.

Then he began to explain in detail: "Your name is actually Wu Qi, and like me, you are a guard in the Bai Mansion. Our daily work mainly involves diligently practicing to improve our own strength, while also being responsible for guarding the safety of the Bai Mansion. Sometimes, we also need to go out to carry out missions to escort important items or people.

"We've been working for the Bai family together for five or six years now. But who could have imagined that something went wrong during that escort mission two days ago? Out of so many people, only the two of us made it back alive, and you unfortunately lost your memory. It's so tragic! Sigh..." Li Yue couldn't help but sigh heavily at this point.

Then, he pointed to the woman who had just left not far away and said, "Oh, that girl who just left is the third daughter of the Bai Mansion, Bai Ningzhu. Now, all the affairs of the Bai Mansion, big and small, are basically decided by her.

As for the Bai family's master, he's a high-ranking general in the imperial court, constantly commanding armies on campaigns, rarely returning home. Furthermore, the Bai family has two other sons. The eldest, Bai Junze, normally oversees most household affairs, but he recently had to go out on business and is temporarily away. As for the second son, Bai Junfan, I heard he was fortunate enough to join a prestigious sect and devote himself to cultivation several years ago, and hasn't returned to the Bai family since.

Li Yue took a deep breath and began to describe their environment to Wu Ming in detail:

"We are now in a large mansion called the Bai Mansion. This mansion covers a vast area and has many houses. It has gardens, ponds, martial arts training grounds and other facilities. In the Bai Mansion, there are many people of different identities. Some are the masters' confidants, and some are palace guards. As for those who need special attention!"
