The Cultivation World was a place where one could get away from the strife and walk leisurely between the green hills and the water, and everything would look so peaceful and beautiful. At this moment, a blue and a white figures were sitting casually on the green stone slab next to the creek talking about something, expressions filled with smiles. Both of them were handsome, slender and upright, so that people only needed to look at them from afar, they couldn’t help but be attracted. 

These two people were Lu Ming and Sang Wusheng, who was disguised as Jing Mo.

Lu Ming’s eyes were shining with a warm glow, his whole face bathed in sunlight, and he looked in a very good mood. Lu Ming was silent for a moment, until he got over the surprise and excitement of the initial encounter, then he sighed softly and said, “How have you been these years?”

Jing Mo looked at Lu Ming’s handsome face, his gaze was a bit obscure, and then replied in a low voice, “I’m fine, but I know my brother is not doing well, it’s all my fault.”

Lu Ming smiled faintly and shook his head. He said, “Don’t do this kind of dangerous thing again. “

Jing Mo was reluctant to let go of Lu Ming’s hand and held him firmly, saying, “I will never leave brother again.”

Lu Ming nodded his head, his tightly locked eyebrows relaxed, and then asked with some doubts, “Since you made a blood contract with Cang Zhi, and promised to kill Shen Mu, would he not let you come back to me?”

When Jing Mo heard Lu Ming’s words, anger quickly flared up in his eyes, he snorted and said coldly, “This old man dared to tamper with my memory when I wasn’t paying attention, and sealed it with a forbidden spell, so that I forgot everything from ten years ago. I only remembered that I was called Jing Mo and had made a blood contract with him. For ten years, I didn’t remember those past events, and I forgot about my brother’s existence, which is why I couldn’t come to you, but fortunately, the spell was released and I remembered everything about the past, so I finally found brother.”

Lu Ming smiled, his heart suddenly tightened, why did Cang Zhi want to seal Jing Mo’s memory? He wanted to kill Jing Mo, did he have another purpose? In fact, Jing Mo was a person who had nothing to do with this killing, but now he was dragged into it and his memories were hidden by Cang Zhi, could there be something in between that he didn’t know?

Lu Ming frowned again and lowered his head to carefully recall the scene of that day, trying to get an answer from it. Jing Mo was watching him quietly, his eyes hard and gloomy, he could not wait to return to the demon world and kill Cang Zhi to vent his anger.

In fact, what he just said was the truth. Ten years ago, after he came out of Tianze Secret Realm, he went straight to the bottom of the valley under the cliff to find Cang Zhi, and used the soul fixing magic Artifact to take Cang Zhi away, and the two of them went to the magic world.

At first, he was thinking about his brother and missed him every day, but he knew he couldn’t go back.

Demonic energy had gradually infiltrated into all his limbs. If he were to stay with his brother, with his wisdom and acumen, it was only a matter of time before he noticed an abnormality. What’s more, the demonic royal family seemed to have started looking for him, and Cultivation World seemed to have discovered his existence, and with the enemy at his back, he couldn’t leave his brother, but he couldn’t choose to leave alone.

What frightened him was that he didn’t know when his memory suddenly became gradually blurred, and his past memories, which seem to be engraved in his bones, were gradually fogged up. Sometimes when he woke up, it took him a long time to remember who the person in his dreams really was.

He was scared and afraid that he might forget his brother by accident, so he wrote his brother’s name tirelessly on the cloth scroll or bamboo scroll every day, but he could not resist the power of the forbidden spell, sometimes forgetting how to write the next stroke halfway through; sometimes writing the whole paper, but forgetting who the person on the paper really was when he was slightly distracted. Gradually, the effect of the forbidden spell became stronger and stronger, so that the figure in his mind became more and more blurred, so much so that in the end, he sadly found that he could no longer see clearly who the thin back under the thick fog was.

So ten years passed. He had been investigating everything about his childhood, but found nothing. Until the moment he met Lu Ming a few days ago, the spell suddenly showed signs of loosening, and countless fragments that were stored in his own brain came to him from time to time. He was shocked, so he collected his breath daily and followed Lu Ming silently, watching his every move, accompanying him, trying to awaken his own dormant memories.

This person looked cold and unfeeling, but always made him feel unusually warm and couldn’t help but want to be close to him. Sometimes he could hold his chin and stare blankly out the window for half an hour, and sometimes he was frowning, carefully studying the magic Artifacts in his hand. His every movement and look, almost all of them were fascinating to himself. When the other had fallen to the ground, he accidentally saw an antique ring on the finger of that person, and at that moment, it was as if the floodgates had been opened and there was a channel for catharsis. The back of that memory was his brother.

Jing Mo suppressed the urge to hold him tightly in her arms and took a deep breath. Suddenly remembering the man who was with his brother, his face immediately turned black and he said, “Brother, who is that man you were with?”

Lu Ming was stunned and then said, “He is called Yun Ruan, a daoist on Kunlai Mountain, and this time I am going with him to Kunlai to deal with Daoist Master Fang.”

Jing Mo let out a cry and then said, “Didn’t brother say before that he wanted to go to Kunlai Mountain?”

Lu Ming nodded, then smiled, his gaze became distant, and slowly sighed, “Originally, I thought that after leaving the He family, you and I would enter Kunlai to practice, but now it seems to be ten years too late.”

Jing Mo pulled Lu Ming and rubbed his head on Lu Ming’s shoulder, with guilt in his eyes, “Brother, it’s all my fault.”

Lu Ming did not wait for Jing Mo to finish, then reached out and slapped his head away, saying helplessly, “You also had to follow Cang Zhi’s command in order to save me, so I should not blame you. What’s more, I’ve been traveling all over the world for the past ten years, and I’ve been living freely and leisurely.”

Jing Mo rubbed his head aggressively, licked his face and put his paws on Lu Ming’s waist, and said, “Then after brother finishes this, we can continue to be a casual cultivators, there is nothing worthwhile for us to go to Kunlai Mountain.”

Lu Ming struggled in Jing Mo’s arms for a moment, but still couldn’t break free, so he gave up struggling and let him hold him, then said, “No. I’m not going to do that. Besides escorting Daoist Master Fang, I also have another purpose, which is to enter Kunlai Sect.”

Jing Mo was puzzled, “Why do you have to enter Kunlai Mountain?”

Lu Ming mused, “There are many Secret Realms on Kunlai Mountain, one of them is called ‘Water Swamp Secret Realm’, there is an object inside named Purple Furnace, just light the grass inside the furnace. I can follow the direction of the purple smoke to find the exact location of Fu Shu. “

Jing Mo heard the words, the body suddenly stiffened, the eyes became dark, his eyes narrowed, the tone of voice could not hear any emotional fluctuations, “Brother is still looking for her?”

Lu Ming froze, then smiled lightly, “That is natural, you and Fu Shu are my most important people, now you and I have met, but still do not know where Fu Shu is, and do not know if she’s well, I will feel uneasy if I can’t find her.”

Jing Mo nodded and smiled gently, “I will accompany you to look for her.”

Lu Ming smiled and stroked Jing Mo’s head, with infinite doting in his eyes. However, he did not realize that although Jing Mo’s face was as warm as the rising sun’s smile, the look in his eyes was as cold as winter, mixed with endless anger and patience, but also with a reckless determination, which looked frightening.

Jing Mo’s fists were clenched tightly, nails almost pinched into the flesh. The heart seemed to have a voice compelling him, so that his calm eyes were tinged with a stormy red. If someone dared to stand in the way, no matter who it was, he would do whatever it takes, regardless of the consequences, so that he and his brother will not be interfered with by anyone from now on. Even if that person is Fu Shu.

★★★

The three of them rested for a moment, and then they cast their auras and flew towards Kunlai, all the way, there was peace. 

Yun Ruan’s eyes rolled and he sighed, “I feel like someone is always spying on me from the shadows along the way.”

Ming Duo was so angry that his hair was standing up, he punched the soul fixing magic Artifact, while roaring, “Fuck you for spying! I will spy on you? Oh, I can’t wait to kill you!”

Lu Ming’s body shape was a little unstable, hastily converging Ming Duo’s breath, a faint smile, strong calm, “Perhaps there is something unclean, right?”

Jing Mo smiled, frowned with divine sense swept around, fingers touched Lu Ming wrist fixed soul magic Artifact, and then some surprised, “brother, the breath seems to come from here.”

Lu Ming’s expression changed and he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hand, coughing violently several times, interrupting Jing Mo’s words, but secretly glaring at him quietly and giving him a wink.

Jing Mo faintly froze, immediately understood, said a turn of phrase, “Brother’s collection of demon magic Artifacts were not closed well, the breath leaked out.”

Lu Ming, “…”

Yun Ruan, “…”

What a lousy excuse! Aah! Collection of demon magic Artifacts? The demon directly leaked out? [Manual bye bye]
