"Sorry, are you...?"

Hearing these words, the blood on Yi Xiao's face faded instantly.

His expression was blank for a moment, and after a while he found his voice, and said with difficulty: "You don't remember me?"

Lin Xiu said, "Sorry."

He reached out to support Yi Xiao, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

There was a trace of polite concern in his tone.

Yi Xiao stared into his eyes, trying to see even a trace of the warmth from the past, but there was nothing.

Yes, just completely strange and alienated.

Even if Lin Xiu had just supported him in time, this gaze made him have to admit that this move was only due to Lin Xiu's own good upbringing, not out of concern or worry.

Lin Xiu had indeed forgotten him.

Yi Xiao opened his mouth, and suddenly wanted to ask him when did he lose his memory?Was it before the Sword Discussion Conference?Or after the Sword Discussion Conference?

But when the words came to his lips, he found that he didn't dare to ask.

If he had lost his memory before the Sword Discussion Conference, then Lin Xiu should have remembered the sword he stabbed into his dantian.That being the case, why is he acting as if nothing had happened at the moment?Even if he did it by mistake, the Lin Xiu in his memory would not act so... chillingly indifferent after hurting others.

Or, is this the essence of Lin Xiu?

And if the memory was lost after the Sword Discussion Conference, how could Lin Xiu, who remembered everything, treat him like that?That sword destroyed his golden core impartially.

Whether it is the former or the latter, it will make him doubt whether the Lin Xiu he knew before is the real Lin Xiu.

Yes, it was just one side, he actually had doubts about Lin Xiu.

And he didn't want to doubt Lin Xiu.

Yi Xiao moved her fingertips, collected herself, brushed Lin Xiu's hand away, and smiled: "It's okay."

Lin Xiu withdrew her hand and said, "Father said you want to see me, I don't know why?"

Yi Xiao was silent for a while, but she still didn't ask, and said, "It's nothing, I just want to see you."

After all, he took the lead to shift the topic to Lin Xiu: "Why did you suddenly lose your memory? Did your father not think of anything to remind you?"

Lin Xiu shook his head slightly, and said: "My soul has been damaged for some reason, and the clan elders have seen it for me, so there should be no solution."

Yi Xiao was silent for a while, and said: "It's okay if you can't remember it, you can live your life as usual, you don't have to worry about being cheated when you are at home."

Lin Xiu nodded: "That makes sense."

Then there was a moment of silence.

This is even more terrifying than Lin Xiu forgetting him, Yi Xiao thought to himself, from the day he knew Lin Xiu, he had a very happy conversation with Lin Xiu, or in other words, he said it himself.

How dare he believe it, but after a few months, facing Lin Xiu, he felt that he had nothing to say.

But there is really nothing to say.

After a moment of silence, Lin Xiu said, "If nothing happens..."

Yi Xiao smiled and said: "It's nothing, please trouble Mr. Lin to make this trip."

Then he watched Lin Xiu turn around, go away, get farther and farther, and finally completely disappear from his sight.

It's like looking at a beautiful dream that is gradually falling apart.

That's it, he told himself, and don't get to the bottom of it.

Anyway, anyway, I probably won't see you again in the future.

only……

On the second day, Yi Xiao packed up all her luggage, but before leaving, she was caught by something.

He stood at the door with a bundle in his left hand, spread his right palm, and frowned at the round and clear snow-colored bead on it.

The color of that bead is like the most crystal-clear snow, it is so clean that no impurities can be found, it looks like a small one, but it contains a very pure and strong aura, it is a rare treasure.

What's more, Yi Xiao could feel the cool breath it exuded, which was exactly the same as Lin Xiu's.

This is Lin Xiu's stuff.

When he woke up today, he felt that the back of his head was in a panic, and when he got up, he saw this thing glowing faintly, and the aura was spreading all over the room.

Thinking back to the beginning, Lin Xiu used it to hang his life.

It's really worth it.

It's just that his body can no longer use the spiritual energy, so the bead will automatically fall away.

However, Lin Xiu was willing to take out such a precious treasure back then, so why has he changed his attitude now?

Yi Xiao's chest rose and fell, and he obviously felt a gloom in his heart, which made his breathing difficult, and he wanted to rush to Lin Xiu and question him loudly.

He suddenly put his fingers together, forced himself to look away, and forcibly suppressed the ups and downs of his heart.

No need, since he has decided not to pursue it, Lin Xiu's state of mind in the past has nothing to do with him.

He, Yi Xiao, will never be that kind of mother-in-law.

The Li family had already prepared the carriage for him to go home, Yi Xiao thought for a moment, and summoned the servant, intending to entrust him to deliver it for him.

He was not going to see Lin Xiu again.

Leaving should be crisp and tidy, and it should be procrastinated.

Who would have thought that the boy who had only just stretched out his hand when he saw this bead, retracted it in a snap, and said in surprise, "Why is the son's soul bead in your hand?"

"Soul Orb?" Yi Xiao was puzzled, "Is it very expensive?"

The young man held his breath, looked at him with a complex expression, took a step back, and said, "Young Master Yi, you should hand it over to Young Master yourself."

"I'm in a hurry to go back."

The little servant resolutely refused: "If it's someone else, the little one will naturally follow suit, but this soul orb is of great importance, so don't embarrass the little one."

Yi Xiao twisted the bead: "Is it important? How important is it?"

The little boy showed embarrassment.

Yi Xiao made a gesture to leave: "If you don't want to say it, that's easy, I'll just take it away, anyway, it won't take up any space."

The little servant was born in a noble family like the Li family, and he had never seen such a commonplace rascal, so he choked when he was called out of nowhere.

He was speechless for a moment, then glanced at Yi Xiao's hand, he didn't know what he thought of, and he didn't let Yi Xiao urge him to ask four times, so he moved closer and spoke in a low voice.

Like these behemoths that have stood in the cultivation world for many years, without exception, they all have their own unique methods to promote cultivation.The Li family has produced a large number of talents from generation to generation, and it is not because each generation of children is more talented than other families.

All decent forces will have something like a soul lamp, which will seal a wisp of the disciple's soul, which can detect the disciple's life condition.

In the Li family, such things are soul beads.

The soul orb is divided into two parts, one part is stored in the Sea of ​​Consciousness by the clan members, and the other part is kept by the family and placed in a secret place.The spiritual energy in the secret realm is extremely abundant. Even if the members of the Li clan are walking outside without doing anything, they can still use this to obtain an endless stream of purified spiritual energy, that is to say, they are practicing all the time.Only in this way can we take the lead step by step.

The soul orb is extremely important to the Li family, not only because they have to rely on it for cultivation, but more importantly, the soul orb is stored in their sea of ​​consciousness. Be a spiritual soldier of your own life; and because it is related to the soul, if it is obtained by someone with a heart, your wealth and life will be threatened.

To a certain extent, the soul orbs of the Li family are more important than golden elixir.If they lost the golden core, they would only lose their cultivation; but if they lost their soul orbs, they might die.

In fact, these things are not some secrets that no one knows.That's why the boy told Yi Xiao.After all, as a person who is only loyal to Lin Xiu, he of course hopes that his employer will be well.

Yi Xiao listened, his eyes slowly lit up.He could see that what the boy said was true, but he still asked a question: "Is it really so important?"

The boy nodded and said, "So please hand it over to Young Master yourself."

Yi Xiao was obviously moved, but only for a moment, he restrained his expression again, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said:

"The carriage is waiting for me outside. As for this," he waved at the boy, "I'll take it away first."

The little servant hesitated to speak, but thought that Lin Xiu himself didn't even say that he wanted to recover the soul orb, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Yi Xiao carried the burden on his shoulders and walked away gracefully.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at the closed courtyard next to him, thinking that he would come back.

He doesn't believe that there are wounds that cannot be healed in the world, and no matter what the price is, he will restore Lin Xiu's memory.

He changed his mind, he must know the answer.

He wanted to ask Lin Xiu why he gave him such an important soul orb that day; what was he thinking when they were lying on the same bed that night.

He needs to know whether it was just his wishful thinking all this time.

But without thinking about it, it would be extremely difficult for Lin Xiu to recover his memory, especially since he is still a useless person with no spiritual power, so he can't be in a hurry.

He's going to take it slow.

Yi Xiao returned to Zhaojia Village again.

It seems that everything has returned to the original point, back to the time when I didn't know Lin Xiu.He still often goes out for several days, frequently meeting his former friends.After he came back, he went to see Zhao Qi. He had sent the child to the town, and he hadn't seen him for more than a year. His stature had grown a lot, and he no longer looked like he had never had enough to eat before.

It's just that his personality hasn't changed much.

Yi Xiao didn't reject him, he came back to the village from the town to look for him eagerly every now and then, and Yi Xiao didn't refuse, and took him to play with him when he had time.

— But he obviously doesn't have much time.Every time he came back from the house, he would bring back many jade slips, hoping to find some clues to restore Lin Xiu's memory. At the same time, he practiced sword diligently and recovered his body as much as possible.

But when Zhao Qi came over, he didn't avoid him, and let the other party chatter about what happened this year.

For example, at the beginning, Third Aunt Zhao made troubles in the town a few times to bring him back to work, but it gradually stopped two months ago, and her attitude towards him became gentler.The last time we met, I didn't scold him, and asked him how he was doing;

For example, the teacher at the private school praised him for his good studies, and once asked him to have dinner at home.

For example, the last time Uncle Zhao saw him, he said that he was good at studying, and they would find a way to teach him.

Yi Xiao listened silently without expressing any opinion.In his heart, he didn't really believe that Third Aunt Zhao would really change her temper, but he also felt relieved to see that Zhao Qi was so happy for the improved relationship with his family from the bottom of his heart.

I just thought in my heart, if the big deal is that Aunt Zhao is not willing, then he will continue to pay the money.

Of course, most of the time, Zhao Qidu just watched him from the side.He was a precocious child, he watched his face and knew that Yi Xiao was very busy after he came back, so he didn't bother him much.

After three months of this, Lin Xiu still has no clue about what happened, but his body is not as weak as before, which is a good thing anyway, Yi Xiao is not discouraged, and thinks optimistically, although the golden core is gone, But he might try the path of physical training.

As long as his strength can continue to increase, the information he can inquire will gradually increase.

This day, he got up early to practice swords as usual, but the door that was half open was suddenly pushed open, and a figure rushed in in a panic, shouting out of breath: "Brother Yi Xiao!"

It's Zhao Qi.

Yi Xiao put away the sword, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said in surprise, "Why did you come here suddenly? Did something happen?"

It took an hour to go back to Zhaojia Village from the town, and now it was late autumn and the weather was cold. He was a boy and a half, and somehow he walked back in the dark.

"I..." Zhao Qi was suddenly at a loss for words, bit his lip, lowered his head, and said hesitantly, "I..."

Seeing him wringing his fingers, Yi Xiao couldn't help feeling a little worried: "But something happened to the private school?"

"Private school..." Zhao Qi stammered and nodded heavily, "Yes, something happened to the private school."

Early in the morning, his face was sweating. In the faint morning light, Yi Xiao could clearly see his abnormally white face. He frowned, handed over a handkerchief, and said, "What's the matter? Take your time." explain."

Zhao Qi shook his head and said with a pale face, "It's too late."

He held Yi Xiao's hand, with a tear in his voice, and said, "Brother Yi Xiao, follow me to have a look..."

Yi Xiao was extremely puzzled. When he thought about it, Zhao Qi was studying in a private school in the town, so what could happen?But the panic in Zhao Qi's expression does not seem to be fake, this is the child he has grown up watching, so even though he can break free from Zhao Qi's hand and see the face of the other party who is about to cry, his heart softens a bit, and he doesn't say anything anymore. What, let the other party drag him stumbling out the door, plunged into the misty morning mist.

He didn't even have time to throw the sword.

However, when they went out, the morning sun had already risen. It stands to reason that the morning fog would gradually dissipate, but as they walked, Yi Xiao keenly noticed that the fog had thickened abnormally. I could still clearly see the scene with a radius of one foot, but later I could barely see the road under my feet and the shadowy shadows of the whirling trees in the thick fog.

He stopped and said, "Xiaoqi, this doesn't seem to be the way to the town."

He didn't doubt Zhao Qi's intentions, but felt that Zhao Qi might have made a mistake in his impatience.

Or, was misled by something.

It's okay if it's the former, but if it's the latter...

Yi Xiao looked at the floating mist around him, and quietly clenched his sword.

If it's the latter, you're in trouble.

Zhao Qi froze, lowered his head, and murmured, "This is the way to the town."

Yi Xiao finally realized that his behavior was not right, frowned and said, "Xiaoqi?"

Zhao Qi didn't look back, but his shoulders trembled, and he said hoarsely, "Brother Yi Xiao, I'm sorry..."

Yi Xiao's expression froze slightly: "Where are you taking me?"

Zhao Qi just shook his head, Yi Xiao couldn't see his face, but could hear suppressed sobs.

He took a closer look at the layers of gray fog that enveloped him, and felt a certain familiar atmosphere from it, his expression slowly turned cold: "It's already here, isn't it?"

Zhao Qi choked up and said, "I'm sorry, but, but I really can't do anything. My mother said, if I don't care about them, they will die. I only know you...Only you can help me."

"Is that so?" Yi Xiao asked softly, "If that's the case, why didn't you make it clear at the beginning?"

Zhao Qi didn't speak again, just whimpered.

Yi Xiao pulled out her hand slowly but firmly: "Because you can see that I have no cultivation now, right?"

Zhao Qi cried and defended: "I didn't..."

"You have." Yi Xiao interrupted him coldly, "Otherwise you wouldn't say sorry."

He looked at the child he had taken care of for many years, with deep disappointment in his eyes: "Let me guess, you know that I am no better than before, but you still trick me into coming here, isn't it because you want me to be a scapegoat?" ?”

Zhao Qi didn't dare to look back at him at all, and explained palely: "I'm sorry, but they are my parents, I can't, I can't ignore them..."

He told the whole story intermittently.

About two months ago, the Zhao family and his wife came back from a relative's house and found a bag of silver in the bushes by the roadside, which contained ten ingots.They are just ordinary villagers. When they think that with this windfall, they can not only send their son to study and save some money, but also maybe marry their son a wife in a few years. Silver took it home.

Unexpectedly, from that day on, strange things began to happen frequently in the family.They began to have frequent nightmares, and they were in unbearable pain. They went to the doctor, but they couldn't see anything wrong.

At first, it was only the couple who had problems, and they could barely bear it, but when their son also showed these symptoms, they finally collapsed.

Just then, they heard a gloomy voice.

Said the voice, he wanted a sacrifice.

Sacrifice, sacrifice, how could their son be a sacrifice?They can't do it themselves!

So they begged the voice to let them live.

The voice agreed, saying that if only they could find new and better offerings.He doesn't eat them.

For the new sacrifice, there is naturally no more suitable substitute than Zhao Qi for the Zhao family couple.

They have raised him for so many years, and he is an older brother, so he should have let and protected his younger brother.

Abandoning him alone and being able to save the whole family is his blessing.

So they found Zhao Qi and began to coax him.

Unexpectedly, the voice said that Zhao Qi didn't meet the requirements and couldn't be counted. He still wanted to eat them.

Only then did they panic and had to tell Zhao Qi the ins and outs of the matter.

Let him figure out a way together.

Let him think about it, is there any sacrifice that meets the requirements and has aura.

This was a rush to the doctor, but it really made Zhao Qi think of someone.

He blurted out Yi Xiao's name right then.

By the time you want to take it back, it's too late.

……

As Zhao Qi spoke, he lowered his head deeply: "I originally wanted to reject them, but..."

But they begged him so pitifully.

What's more, Zhao Qi felt that what they said made sense. Without his parents, he would really have no home.

There are no parents who are not right, how can he, how can he really watch them die and ignore them?

"Oh, so you can trick me in." Yi Xiao nodded, "You're really good at it."

Zhao Qi's eyes were reddened by his unprecedented indifference, and he said with tears in his voice, "Brother Yi Xiao..."

Yi Xiao turned her head away: "Go away."

Zhao Qi walked away step by step.

Leaning on her sword, Yi Xiao watched the thick fog squeeze in, shed her disguise and revealed her true colors.

It's magic.

Yi Xiao slowly clenched the hilt of the sword, and laid the sword across his chest, with a sharp light in his eyes.

When he understood the situation at this moment, he was ready to die here.

But he didn't intend to let it go.

If you don't reach the Yellow River, your heart will never die, and if you don't hit the south wall, you won't look back.

He is such a person, even if he knows that the end is a hopeless situation, he will go to the end to see, there is absolutely no reason to give up at the beginning.
