Chapter 108: Finally meet
Guiyi City is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and there are many sects invited here. It is not difficult to get some information. Especially the rumors about Fairy ‘Lan Ruo’, a genius disciple of Guiyuan Sect, can be heard everywhere.
Shen Zhui and Fang Ziyou only walked around the Guiyuan Sect and collected a lot of information about Shen Xinlan.
"Fairy Lan Ruo was originally a fifth-generation outer disciple of the Guiyuan Sect. Later, she was accepted as a disciple by the third-generation elder Leng Ruyue. She joined the inner sect and became a fourth-generation inner disciple."
"Later, under Leng Ruyue's teachings, her cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, almost by leaps and bounds. When she broke through to the Spirit Bridge realm, she had no rivals among the four generations of disciples."
"And he also came out on top in the Twenty-Eight Peaks Martial Arts Selection held by Guiyuan Sect, defeated three elders in the magical power realm, and entered the Guiyuan Cave to practice."
"In just three years, he has continuously broken through from the first level of Lingqiao to the third level of magical power, which alarmed the ancestor Guiyuan who was in retreat."
"For her sake, Patriarch Guiyuan showed up once during the journey and personally taught her the "Guiyuan Sword Technique" and also taught her the magical secret technique "Rou Zhirou". He also gave her a Lanruo Peak to live in alone! Since then, Fairy Lanruo has His status is equal to that of an elder in Guiyuan Sect!"
"Including the accelerated cultivation time, it is only thirteen years of cultivation. She has actually reached the sixth level of magical power from an ordinary mortal. No wonder everyone in the Guiyuan Sect regards her as a treasure." Fang Ziyou said with emotion.
Shen Xinlan's breakthrough speed is several times stronger than that of a genius like him who has been at the peak of his magical power for sixty years. Moreover, Shen Xinlan has mastered the two original marks of gold and water. The talent is terrifying.
"Lan Ruofeng?" Shen Zhui nodded. No wonder when Xu Laoba brought his adoptive mother out, he said that the Guiyuan Sect was holding some kind of grand meeting. It must have been because of Shen Xinlan's outstanding performance that the Guiyuan Ancestor discovered it.
"General Shen, your sister's identity has been well concealed. From top to bottom, it is said that she has been in the Guiyuan Sect since she was born." A trace of worry flashed in Fang Ziyou's eyes. "According to the information I have learned about Fairy Lan Ruo's origin, it is said that she was born in an ordinary family in Guiyi City. Due to an accident, her parents died, so she was raised by the sect since she was a child, and was later adopted as a disciple by Leng Ruyue. "
"It seems that her memory has indeed been erased. If the general wants to get close to her, it will be difficult to convince her with just one mouth."
Shen Zhui nodded and said nothing.
It is indeed difficult to restore Shen Xinlan's memory, because this method must be extremely clever, and she is now at the sixth level of magical power, even using force is a bit tricky.
"No matter what, we need to meet him first," Shen Zhui said. "I have a token of my adoptive mother and adoptive father, as well as the appearance and memory of their two elders. If I can wake her up, that would be great. If not, then I will act as the opportunity arises."
"General Fang, you are ready to leave Guiyuan Sect at any time. I will go there first."
Fang Ziyou bent down and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "General Shen, don't worry about me, take care of yourself. You are a rare genius in our Wu'an army for a hundred years. Your significance is extraordinary, to the Marquis. As far as the Zhou Dynasty is concerned, they are all rare talents. If you can't... I hope General Shen won't force himself and make saving his own life the first priority."
Shen Zhui didn't say much, but returned the same greeting. "General Fang takes it seriously."
After saying that, Shen Zhui quickly left the mansion, and with a leap, he turned into a strange figure and disappeared into the sea of people.
Fang Ziyou sighed softly, shook his head, and walked out.
…………
After coming out of Guiyi City, Shen Zhui mingled with the caravan transporting supplies for guests. This is the team that set off from Guiyi City to Lan Ruofeng.
Their status is not high. These Guiyuan Sect disciples are all innately high-level. With Shen Zhui's attainments in the Wuxiang Divine Art, it is easy to sneak in.
The motorcade flying in the sky moved forward slowly, while Shen Zhui was discussing with Zen Xin.
"Zen Xin, is there any way to restore my sworn sister's memory?"
"There are usually two ways to erase memories."
"The first is to forcibly erase it, completely blanking that memory, such as completely erasing your sister's memory before she was eleven years old. However, this method is very low-end and may damage the soul. Since your sister Being able to break through to the sixth level of magical power, it is unlikely that the Guiyuan Sect would use this method."
"The second is to use illusion to modify part of the memory. This is a more clever method. Over time, the original memory will be hidden deeply, and she will only remember this false memory. Even if you stand in front of her and talk about the past, she will not Come to think of it, this method will not be solved until you break through the Venerable. But as long as there is no inducement, you may not find it in your lifetime."
"Even if it is discovered, it will be a long time later. Compared with the huge memories of the next ten or even decades, the small part of the memory from the previous time is not very important."
"Besides, Guiyuan Sect treats your sworn sister well. Even if the memory is restored, a situation like Fang Ziyou might happen." Zen Xin said.
"Is there any way to crack it?" Shen Zhui asked.
"I don't know. You'll have to see her to find out. You may even need to invade her soul." Zenxin shook his head. "I can crack it with normal methods, but if your sworn sister knows about it, but is emotionally influenced by Guiyuan Zong and stays here voluntarily, then there is nothing we can do."
"After all, according to what you said, she was only eleven years old at the time. If Guiyuan Sect treats her well, she may not follow you even if her memory is restored."
"Don't consider this for now." Shen Zhui shook his head. "No matter what, let's restore our memory first."
"Well, you just have to be prepared for this." Zen said in his heart.
…………
Lanruofeng, where Zizhu lives.
At the top of this beautiful mountain, there are clouds and mist. Although it is winter, the peak is full of spring, with flowers in bloom and lush vegetation.
Especially the purple bamboo forest is full of charm, and the gentle spiritual spring exudes a faint scent, making the people living there relaxed and happy.
Outside Zizhuju, a maid in a light green dress approached the door and respectfully said to the people inside: "Fairy, Elder Ruyue has arrived."
A soft voice came from inside the door: "Master, please come in quickly."
"Yes." The maid said respectfully.
"Squeak~" The door of Zizhu Residence opened wide, and a woman wearing a light golden dress walked out. She has a beautiful and charming face, a gentle and quiet temperament, and her eyes are moving, but with a touch of melancholy.
The clouds and mist in the distance kept rolling, and soon there was a chariot drawn by four heavenly horses galloping down. Next to the chariot were two teams of female disciples from the Lingqiao realm.
"Huu~" the Pegasus roared, folding its wings, and there was a middle-aged woman wearing a purple robe, elegant and luxurious, holding a fly whisk in her hand, lifted the curtain from the chariot and walked down.
"Disciple has met the master." Shen Xinlan bowed her head and saluted the middle-aged woman.
"Lan'er, there's no need to be polite, get up." Leng Ruyue stepped forward with a smile and helped Shen Xinlan up.
"You all wait outside." Leng Ruyue waved her hand.
"Yes." All the female disciples behind him were waiting respectfully outside, watching Leng Ruyue and Shen Xinlan enter the room.
After the master and apprentice sat down, Leng Ruyue got straight to the point.
"Lan'er, Master, this time you are following the order of the master."
"I don't know what my ancestor has told me, but I am all ears." Shen Xinlan said softly.
"The sect leader attaches great importance to Lan'er's marriage, and repeatedly observed several sect geniuses who were suitable for Lan'er. In the end, he fell in love with Young Master Baiyu from the Tianmo Sect, Young Master Shangqing from the Xingkui Sect, and Young Master Xun You from the Zhengyi Sect. "Leng Ruyue said with a smile. "These three are all the best among geniuses, and they are good matches for Lan'er. Our ancestor said that you can pay attention to one or two things during the martial arts competition to recruit a bride."
"Master, what if they can't defeat my disciple?"
"It doesn't matter. If you can defeat them, it will be better. If you marry in the future, you will have more status in your husband's family." Leng Ruyue raised her eyebrows. "Men, if you let them get it easily, there will be no challenge. If Lan'er can beat them, she will not worry about being bullied in the future, and will only be respected more."
"But what if Lan'er doesn't like them?"
Leng Ruyue remained silent.
Shen Xinlan sighed softly: "Does it mean that Lan'er has to choose among these three sects no matter what?"
Leng Ruyue's smile gradually faded. Looking at this overly smart disciple, she immediately smiled bitterly and said: "This is decided by the ancestor, and there is nothing I can do about it. I didn't want you to know, but it is best to live happily in the past. …”
"Lan'er, these three young masters are actually pretty good." Leng Ruyue said with relief. "After all, he is the proud son of the first-class sect. No matter how bad he is, he can't be any worse."
"Master, actually... Lan'er would rather be an ordinary person and find someone she likes..." Shen Xinlan said softly.
"This is impossible, Lan'er, this is impossible..." Leng Ruyue shook her head. "The ancestor will not allow it, and this is also the meaning of the Taishangjiao. Now that the sect has reappeared in the world, it has internal and external troubles, and must find a strong foreign aid. These three major sects can help the Guiyuan Sect gain a foothold as soon as possible. Get more resources.”
"Master, don't worry, Lan'er understands." Shen Xinlan said tremblingly. "If my disciple is cultivated by his master and ancestor, he will definitely make the sect get what he wants..."
"Hey!" Leng Ruyue also showed a hint of sadness on her face. "Lan'er, you, you should have a good rest."
Shen Xinlan stood up and helped Leng Ruyue out of the door.
"Qiao'er, send Master out."
"Yes." The woman in green clothes next to her said respectfully.
After watching the maid and the master leave, Shen Xinlan suddenly frowned and held her forehead with her right hand, a trace of confusion and pain appearing in her eyes.
"Here we go again...what the hell is going on."
After careful inspection for a moment, Shen Xinlan found nothing unusual about her body, and could only think of it as a result of her recent excessive worry.
After adjusting her breath for a moment, Shen Xinlan opened her eyes, stood in front of Zizhu Residence and looked at the city in the distance, with a hint of bitterness in her heart.
A moment later, the maid Qiaoer left and returned. When she saw Shen Xinlan, she was slightly stunned.
Shen Xinlan noticed something strange about Qiao'er and immediately said, "Qiao'er, what's wrong? You're in a panic."
"No, it's okay." Qiaoer shook his head. "I just feel unfair for my senior sister."
"With senior sister's talent, there is no need to worry about not being able to become a venerable person in the future. But now, she has to be forced to marry someone she doesn't like and is used as a bargaining chip by the sect. How short-sighted my ancestor is!"
"Qiao'er, be careful what you say." Shen Xinlan shook her head. "You can't criticize the sect master. It's okay with me. If others listen to you, be careful about your life."
"Senior sister, isn't it?" Qiaoer said stubbornly. "This is obviously using you as a bargaining chip. I heard that the sect leader has already found candidates for the three first-class sects. Senior sister has never even met them! Huh, this is exchanging senior sister for benefits!"
"Qiaoer, stop talking." Shen Xinlan frowned. She felt that Qiaoer said a lot more today, although in her heart, she also admitted that what Qiaoer said was right.
"Yes, I won't say anything anymore." Qiaoer lowered his head and slowly walked to Shen Xinlan to wait.
Shen Xinlan didn't say a word, just stared into the distance quietly, with an indelible thought between her brows.
"Senior sister." After a moment, Qiaoer spoke again. "For such a big event as getting married, Senior Sister, will any of your relatives be present?"
Seeing that Qiao'er didn't mention the sect master and master again, and just chatted, Shen Xinlan didn't feel suspicious. She was usually very nice and approachable to Lan Ruofeng's maid.
"Aside from Master, there is only a distant uncle Xiao from Guiyi City." Shen Xinlan replied.
"Oh, it would be great if Senior Sister's parents were here."
"Parents..." Shen Xinlan frowned slightly again. She seemed to have a headache again.
Qiao'er saw Shen Xinlan's strange behavior completely, and immediately took a step closer, saying softly: "Senior sister, do you still remember the appearance of your parents in the world?"
"What does he look like? I can't remember clearly." Shen Xinlan frowned even more. "My parents died very rarely, and they left when I was still young."
"Senior sister's secular name seems to be Xiao Lanruo."
"Does Senior Sister have some nicknames? For example, my parents like to call me Xiaoqiao. When they were young, did Senior Sister's parents like to call Senior Sister... Xiaolan?"
After asking two questions in a row, Shen Xinlan frowned even more tightly, as if something was about to burst out of her heart.
"Senior sister, have you ever heard someone mention a father and daughter like Shen Shan and Shen Xinlan?" the voice asked again.
It was as if there was a magic power inducing Shen Xinlan.
"Chen Shan, Shen Xinlan..." These two names made Shen Xinlan suddenly tremble slightly, as if she had been hit.
However, at this moment, a faint black light suddenly appeared in her soul, allowing Shen Xinlan to regain her composure.
"Qiao'er, what are you talking about? I have never heard of these two names." Shen Xinlan turned around and looked at Qiao'er doubtfully.
"No, it's nothing." Qiaoer lowered his head. "I just occasionally heard someone mention the tragedy and the name of this family."
"What tragedy?"
"Eleven years ago, there was a Shen couple. They were separated by strongmen. The father Shen Shan, his wife Yin Wuniang and Shen Xinlan were all separated."
"Oh. Look for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com" Shen Xinlan turned around and walked slowly to the side of the maid Qiaoer.
"Shua~" A series of moves flashed by, and then a jade hand suddenly pointed towards Qiaoer's eyebrows.
"Whoosh~" Qiao'er, who was originally only at the peak level of Lingqiao, actually subconsciously dodged under this sudden attack!
As soon as he dodged, a look of surprise appeared on 'Qiao'er''s face, and she secretly screamed, "It's terrible."
When Shen Xinlan saw this, her face darkened, and a chill emanated from her body.
"You are not Qiao'er!"
"Tell me, who are you and why did you impersonate Qiaoer and sneak into Lan Ruofeng! Where did Qiaoer really go!"
Shen Zhui, who transformed into the maid Qiao'er, sighed softly, and his body shape changed, and he immediately returned to his original appearance.
"Fairy Lan Ruo, stop for now and listen to me."
