630: A missing piece of memory
Inside the Flying Boat, the atmosphere was a bit strange!
Ji Wuchang sat alone at the very back of the Flying Boat, showing no intention of speaking with anyone else.
Among those nine people, several wanted to speak but hesitated; seeing Ji Wuchang's "do not disturb" demeanor, they found it hard to open their mouths.
They had been together for several days, yet not one of the nine knew Ji Wuchang's name.
Chi Qianzhu stared at Ji Wuchang with sparkling eyes; the moment he had struck earlier was truly handsome!
When she was very young, her body had been very thin and small; she used to follow behind Ji Wuchang, clutching his hem and refusing to let go for dear life.
Thinking of these things, a trace of tenderness gradually appeared in Chi Qianzhu's eyes.
An Fanmei gave a cold snort, her body flickered, and she left the Flying Boat to head toward the battleship where the Fire Phoenix Province was located.
Naturally, she didn't go alone; all the Supremes here, seven in total, went as well.
The person sent by the Fire Phoenix Sect this time was at the second level of the supreme realm, a woman who appeared to be in her forties.
The remaining six were all at the first level of the supreme realm.
Ji Wuchang was cultivating when he suddenly caught a faint scent of fragrance. He couldn't help but open his eyes, his brow furrowing slightly.
"Ji Wuchang, the Secret Realm should open in a few days. Do you want to take a walk around?"
Chi Qianzhu approached Ji Wuchang, her eyes bright and clear.
Ji Wuchang's brow furrowed slightly; he had originally wanted to refuse.
But after being cooped up on the Flying Boat for these past few days, he indeed felt stifled, so he slowly nodded and agreed.
The two of them flew off the Flying Boat and landed on the beach below.
The nine people on the Flying Boat watched Ji Wuchang and Chi Qianzhu's retreating figures; some narrowed their eyes, revealing expressions of jealousy!
Luo Suxing, however, looked down with a smile, not worried at all.
The sand was very soft, and as the sea breeze blew, their clothes rustled loudly.
"Ji Wuchang, that move of yours just now was very strong."
Seeing that Ji Wuchang hadn't spoken for a long time, Chi Qianzhu spoke up slowly.
Ji Wuchang's expression was calm; he naturally knew how terrifying that move was. The moment he pointed, the opponent's Primordial Spirit was directly destroyed!
He looked at the distant sea, frowned, and asked, "Miss Chi, where is the Secret Realm? Why can't I see anything?"
Over the past few days, Ji Wuchang had naturally learned her surname, but he still didn't know her full name.
Hearing Ji Wuchang's words, Chi Qianzhu sighed in relief for some reason!
"The Secret Realm is on the seabed dozens of miles ahead, but it won't reveal itself yet. At midnight, a special pillar of light will soar into the sky!"
Chi Qianzhu said slowly.
Hearing this, Ji Wuchang nodded slightly, instantly understanding what was happening.
"Ji Wuchang, how do you know that Li Xueqin?"
Chi Qianzhu was truly quite curious because Li Xueqin hadn't told her about this.
After Li Xueqin gave the Jade Token to Ji Wuchang, they had lost contact!
Ji Wuchang was slightly taken aback, then said calmly, "The Heavenly Star Dynasty's royal family underwent a transition and held the Thousand Cities Great War. By a stroke of luck, I ended up working for her."
"Now, she is already the Queen of the Heavenly Star Dynasty!"
Chi Qianzhu nodded slowly. Although Ji Wuchang's explanation was simple, she understood the gist of it!
Actually, she was more concerned about how Ji Wuchang had lived all these years.
Although they had been apart for a long time, she was able to recognize him; he shouldn't have failed to recognize her.
"I once went to Muye City in Bo Yun State. I wonder how it is there now? Is the Old Huang Temple still there?"
Chi Qianzhu's voice reached Ji Wuchang's ears; his eyes instantly widened as he looked at her in disbelief.
Thoughts raced through Ji Wuchang's mind; that sentence revealed too much.
First, she definitely knew him and his background.
Second, she really had been to that place. The Old Huang Temple was a ruined temple there and a gathering place for beggars.
He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have stayed there for a while, but he just couldn't recall it clearly.
He realized that he had forgotten many things from his childhood; only from the time the Ji Family adopted him could these memories be linked together.
"Who are you? Did you know me before?"
Ji Wuchang stopped in his tracks and looked at Chi Qianzhu with a solemn expression!
Chi Qianzhu also looked at Ji Wuchang. She reached out and slowly lifted the veil from her face, revealing a beautiful countenance.
Looking at this face, Ji Wuchang felt as if he had seen it before, but he had no clear impression.
"Ji Wuchang, let's get reacquainted. My name is Chi Qianzhu!"
Chi Qianzhu spoke with a smile, her face exceptionally charming. She then slowly put her veil back on!
Ji Wuchang's brow furrowed slightly. The name felt somewhat familiar, but he really couldn't remember.
"I feel like we've met before, but for some reason, I can't remember!"
Ji Wuchang spoke slowly, his brow tightly knit. He finally realized where the problem lay.
If he guessed correctly, his memory had either been partially erased or partially sealed.
A Seal was likely impossible; with his current cultivation base, if it were a Seal, he would surely be able to detect some clues.
Then there was only one explanation: a part of his memory had been erased.
At this thought, Ji Wuchang instantly felt a chill run down his spine!
Chi Qianzhu sighed, then spoke calmly, "Of course I know you. Otherwise, when Li Xueqin contacted me, I wouldn't have told her about the Heavenly Dragon Profound Lotus!"
"But if there are things you can't remember, don't try to think about them for now. There will come a day in the future when you will."
"By the way, have you been doing well all these years? Do you have someone you love?"
Hearing Chi Qianzhu's words, Ji Wuchang nodded slowly. Indeed, for things he couldn't remember, he should set them aside for now; it was all a matter of strength.
Once his strength was great enough, many things would naturally be resolved.
"These years have been quite fulfilling, though my hands have been stained with too much blood!"
"As for someone I love, of course I do, but they aren't here right now!"
Ji Wuchang spoke calmly. In his mind, the faces of Yu Ling and Ji Zhiyi appeared, and a trace of tenderness couldn't help but show in his eyes!
Looking at Ji Wuchang, Chi Qianzhu's eyes dimmed slightly. However, perhaps this was the best arrangement.
She had a special mission now; as long as he was well, that was enough.
After thinking of this, her dimmed eyes brightened once more!
When she left back then, perhaps she had already made her choice.
The two walked slowly along the beach. From time to time, gazes were cast their way, but no one came forward to provoke them.
Sky Phoenix Tower was no ordinary power; offending them would not end well!
"Ji Wuchang, there should be two Heavenly Dragon Profound Lotuses in the Secret Realm this time!"
"Don't worry, I will do my utmost to help you get one!"
As they headed back, Chi Qianzhu spoke to Ji Wuchang with a smile, her gaze more serious than ever before.
Ji Wuchang glanced at Chi Qianzhu and then smiled. "Then thank you. The Heavenly Dragon Profound Lotus is of vital importance to me!"
"But you don't need to worry too much. Since I've dared to come, I naturally have a certain level of confidence!"
Chi Qianzhu glanced at Ji Wuchang and nodded slowly!
