Chapter 32 Amnesia
The doctor talked to Su Luo for a while, but then another patient came in, and he left the room with his assistant.
After the two left, Su Luo waited quietly for a while before getting up. Then she went to the door, held her breath, and listened for any sounds. Once she was sure no one was at the door, she quickly took out a silence note and stuck it on the door.
With this talisman, no one could hear what they said, so they could get down to business.
After everything was ready, Su Luo turned to look at Lin Ji. The young man had been watching her ever since he entered the room, and Su Luo couldn't ignore him even if she wanted to.
Su Luo walked lightly to the bedside, then quietly gazed at Lin Ji with a complex expression.
The boy in front of me had long, black hair that fell casually on the bed, making his skin look as smooth as jade. His eyelashes were long and thick, and he was so beautiful that he didn't seem real. The sickly look that came with his injury made him look even more beautiful and fragile, giving him a kind of magical charm that made people want to protect him.
No wonder the doctor and assistant looked so distressed just now, giving Su Luo several reproachful glances and accusing her of being heartless.
The "heartless" Su Luo was not swayed by beauty. Instead, she calmly withdrew her gaze and said seriously, "Alright, I've brought you to the clinic for treatment. Can you tell me about that so-called news now?"
"Cough cough... That's natural..." Lin Ji coughed weakly a few times, then struggled to prop himself up, trying to sit up. Perhaps because his injury was too severe, he tried several times but failed.
So he looked at Su Luo pleadingly, a hint of caution in his eyes, "Su Luo, I want to sit up and talk... Can you help me?"
Su Luo sighed, walked over and reached out to help him up. He leaned into her arms, the smile on his lips vanishing in an instant.
After Lin Ji sat down, she quickly let go of his hand without hesitation for a second, then sat on the stool by the bed and looked directly at him.
"Alright, you can speak now, right?"
"Okay, actually, I overheard it by accident. A few days ago, I encountered disciples of the Tianyi Sect in Yongnian Town. They looked flustered, as if they were looking for someone." As he spoke, Lin Ji coughed a few more times, his face deathly pale.
"So I went to ask. It just so happened that one of them was from my hometown, and he secretly told me that... actually they were taking someone back to Tianyi Sect. That person was you, Su Luo."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Luo jumped up, kicking over the chair in the process. "Take me back to Tianyi Sect? Why?!"
Seeing Su Luo's strong reaction, Lin Ji narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly. "I asked him too. My fellow villager said he didn't know either. It's just that Ancestor Lingya asked them to take you back, and it had to be done secretly without making a fuss. In addition, Ancestor Lingya promised that whoever could take you back could become the direct disciple of any elder in the sect."
What shocked Su Luo even more than the fact that Tianyi Sect wanted to take her back was, "Ancestor Lingya has emerged from seclusion?!"
The plot has changed again!
Neither in the novel nor in her previous life before her death had Ancestor Lingya emerged from seclusion. Powerful beings at the late Nascent Soul stage would typically spend hundreds of years in seclusion to attempt to break through to the Divine Transformation stage, yet it had only been less than a hundred years since his last seclusion! How could he suddenly emerge?!
wrong!
Su Luo suddenly thought of a possibility, and her expression became even more unpleasant.
This means that something must have happened that even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't handle, which is why Ancestor Lingya had to emerge from seclusion early! She couldn't think of anyone else who could force a Nascent Soul cultivator to leave seclusion prematurely, besides the Heavenly Demon from the novel!
Furthermore, why did Ancestor Lingya specifically request to bring her back to Tianyi Sect? What exactly does a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator want from her? He even went so far as to promise substantial rewards to send someone to find her!
She was clearly just cannon fodder in the novel! Even if she was forcibly summoned by the Heavenly Dao to carry out a mission in her previous life, she was still just an insignificant junior sister in the Tianyi Sect!
Damn it! What kind of mess is this?!
Su Luo couldn't figure out the other person's purpose at all. The more she thought about it, the more her head ached and she became more anxious. In the end, she frantically rubbed her hair and paced back and forth, completely forgetting that there was someone else there.
Lin Ji leaned against the wall, watching Su Luo's every move with great pleasure.
What he just said was half true and half false. He did see the disciples of the Tianyi Sect during his visit to Su Luo and discovered that they were looking for someone, but there were never any fellow villagers among them. This information was just something he found out using his soul-searching technique.
So he was also very curious as to why that old man Ling Ya wanted to find Su Luo and why he wanted someone to bring Su Luo back.
Thinking of this, Lin Ji pursed his lips, his dark eyes as cold as if covered with a layer of frost.
Su Luo had long been his target; she was already his!
That old bastard dared to covet my things, he deserves to die! When we fought him, I shouldn't have thought I was just testing the Demon Sword and didn't use my full strength. I should have used the Demon Sword to launch a sneak attack immediately and killed that old guy once and for all!
Su Luo sighed for a while before remembering that there was someone else next to her. She quickly composed herself, coughed awkwardly, and sat down again with a serious expression.
"I can't be sure if what you're saying is true or false, so you need to swear an oath against your inner demons."
Lin Ji had long since concealed the malice in his eyes, continuing to play the role of a pitiful yet harmless injured person. Hearing this, he nodded, "Of course, I won't lie to you."
After saying this, the boy immediately swore an oath, promising that if the information he had given was false, he would be trapped in his inner demons for the rest of his life.
Although... he already had inner demons.
Su Luo completely believed him. "Ahem... Okay, in that case, I believe you. This information is indeed very useful to me. However, I have another question to ask."
"?"
"You say you've met me once, but I have absolutely no recollection of you. You're not a disciple of the Tianyi Sect either, so which sect are you a disciple of?"
Lin Ji lowered his head, his voice barely audible, "Actually... I saw you in Liu Family Village before. You were busy dealing with the escaped demonic beasts, so you didn't notice me at all. And I was dressed very casually then, and I was just an unknown rogue cultivator, so it's normal that you didn't notice me..."
"Liu Family Village..."
Su Luo frowned and thought for a moment, and actually found a vague memory in the corner of the original owner's memory.
At that time, she hadn't transmigrated yet. The original owner had gone with Ye Danqing and his group to Liu Family Village to deal with the monster that caused the disaster. Midway through, because everyone was praising Ning Wanshuang for her extraordinary talent at such a young age, they completely forgot that the original owner had also contributed to the effort, which made the original owner very unhappy, and she couldn't sleep when she got back.
It's normal that the original owner was too busy being angry to notice a low-key rogue cultivator. It seems she was overthinking it; he wasn't lying.
Just as Su Luo was about to relax, she remembered something important. "By the way! You said you met the Tianyi Sect disciple in Yongnian Town, was that a few days ago?"
"Hmm...it was three days ago."
"Tsk." This is bad. Three days is more than enough time for the disciples of Tianyi Sect to find Qiang City.
Even if she used a transformation talisman to change her appearance, there's no guarantee that none of the people coming to find her are at the Golden Core stage. If she's discovered, let alone sneaking into the human realm, she'll probably be captured directly.
"But you don't have to worry too much."
Lin Ji's pale lips moved slightly as he comforted them, "Before I left, I saw them heading south to search. They haven't come to Qiang City yet, so there shouldn't be any problems in the next few days."
Su Luo still couldn't relax.
The people of Tianyi Sect didn't know she was here, but this person in front of them did! Who knows if he would tell Tianyi Sect this good news for his own benefit?!
Su Luo closed her eyes briefly, and when she looked at the "sincere" boy in front of her again, her expression became complicated and difficult to decipher.
After all, who could resist the temptation of being the direct disciple of a sect elder? She dared not gamble with human nature! In any case, this person had to forget that he had ever seen her!
Fortunately, she was prepared.
So Su Luo took a deep breath, smiled, and changed the subject, asking with concern, "I've seen you coughing for quite a while, is your throat uncomfortable? Would you like me to get you a cup of tea?"
Lin Ji nodded his thanks, "Ahem... then I'll trouble you."
Su Luo smiled and waved her hand, stood up, and the smile on her face vanished the moment she turned around.
She then quickly left the room, found the doctor, and said she wanted to prepare some tea for Lin Ji. The doctor and his assistant were both busy, so they pointed her in the direction of the kitchen.
Soon, Su Luo poured half a pot of strong tea in the kitchen. When she took out a bottle of Forget-Dust Pills from her storage bag, she hesitated for a moment.
"How much should we put in?"
One Forget-Dust Pill can make someone forget things for half a day, so two pills should be just right, right?
When Lin Ji drinks the water and takes a nap, he will no longer remember ever seeing Su Luo, since she won't recognize his current appearance anyway.
Thinking it over, Su Luo immediately crushed two pills, sprinkled the powder into the teapot, shook the teapot, and only felt happy when she was sure that all the powder had dissolved into the brown tea soup.
Faced with the tea that Su Luo had poured, Lin Ji smiled and accepted the teacup, thanked her, and looked down at the tea with eyes that seemed to hold a bottomless dark river, mysterious and unfathomable.
He could smell something in the tea...
Lin Ji still drank the tea. He was even persuaded by Su Luo to drink a few more cups of tea. The two smiled but didn't say anything, but their thoughts were actually different.
Su Luo smiled, thinking that once Lin Ji drank the tea, he would soon forget about meeting her, and then she would be completely over it.
Lin Ji smiled, realizing he had tasted the Forget-Dust Pill in the tea, and he also understood what Su Luo was up to.
Su Luo wanted him to forget that he had ever seen her, so she could get rid of him. Ha, wishful thinking!
Lin Ji didn't show it on his face. He obediently listened to Su Luo and lay down to sleep for a while. When he woke up again, the first thing he saw was a pretty but ordinary-looking older woman.
This person was Su Luo, who had changed her appearance using a transformation talisman. She did not leave, but stayed here to wait for Lin Ji to wake up and to make sure that he had not forgotten her.
"You're awake? I saw you were badly injured on the way here, so I brought you to the clinic for treatment. Do you remember?"
The boy blinked blankly, glanced at her, then looked around, finally fixing his gaze on her face before shaking his head.
"I don't remember...it was you...who saved me?"
Yay! The Forget-Dust Pill worked!
Su Luo bit her lower lip, trying hard not to appear too happy, and sighed softly, "It's me. I don't know what happened to you, you're so badly injured. Just stay here and get treatment. Don't worry, I've already paid for your medical expenses, so..."
Su Luo was still talking non-stop when the boy struggled to sit up and raised his hand to interrupt her.
"Excuse me, do you know who I am?"
Su Luo's remaining words caught in her throat. She blinked, thinking she had misheard, and asked again.
"what did you just say?"
"Do you know who I am?" The incredibly handsome young man in front of me rubbed his head, looking troubled. "I don't remember anything."
"boom!"
As if struck by lightning, Su Luo kicked over the stool, stood up, and froze on the spot.
Lin Ji has lost his memory?! Why?!
Was it her fault? Should she really not have put in two Forget-Dust Pills?!
