“At this moment, Ye Wanyan’s head is as big as a bucket. She never expected that she and the Big Dipper and the Seven Stars would actually be so acquainted.
Moreover, Beidou’s foolishness isn’t an act. He’s been that foolish since childhood, genuinely so.
…
Scene shifts.
Countless memories, big and small, flow into the depths of Ye Wanyan’s mind.
Some memories are clear, while others are already incredibly fuzzy, like chaos.
Her rare interactions with her parents, playing around with her brother Nie Wuming, being pounded to the ground by a stray dog, the anxiety during her coming-of-age ceremony, the small conflicts and sweet moments with Si Yehan.
Suddenly, Ye Wanyan finds herself in a study.
The girl has become more beautiful, sitting by the desk, resting her chin on her hand, gazing fondly at that unparalleled man.
“Unrivaled in the World, Lord of Unmatched Beauty…”
The girl’s eyes are filled with love, as if everything is consumed by that man.
The man’s exquisite features are flawless, with distinct edges and corners. A faint smile always graces his lips, and even his enchanting eyes are filled with unintentional tenderness and refinement.
“Wuyou.”
The man puts down the paper and pen in his hand, his eyes gentle as they fix on the girl.
Suddenly, the scene shifts, spinning like crazy. All images of Ji Xiuran become fragmented, torn like paper.
In the depths of Ye Wanyan’s mind, the man snaps his fingers without a word. As a result, all memories of Ji Xiuran disappear.
“Ah!”
Ye Wanyan wakes up suddenly, covered in sweat.
Beside her, Dean Chiyan’s brow furrows deeply as he gazes at her, his expression growing even stranger.
“How could this happen…” Ye Wanyan mumbles, then looks at Dean Chiyan.
“Don’t speak for now,” Dean Chiyan stares at her. “What did you see?”
“I seem to have forgotten some memories…” Ye Wanyan ponders.
“Indeed, all your memories have vanished. It’s normal to have some small details and scenes be blurry or forgotten, but… for some significant events, unless it’s your subconscious refusing to remember, it’s impossible to forget,” Dean Chiyan explains.
“Refusing to remember?”
Ye Wanyan furrows her brows. Things like the Martial Alliance Guild, her grandfather, and the new leader of the Martial Alliance Guild, were they things she didn’t want to remember?
But what about Ji Xiuran? All those fragmented memories left her terrified.
“I can’t recall any memories related to Ji Xiuran… even an image appeared where he snapped his fingers in my mind, and then, all memories about him turned to dust,” Ye Wanyan says involuntarily.
As Ye Wanyan speaks, Dean Chiyan suddenly understands. “No wonder… someone hypnotized you before I did. It seems they completely sealed a portion of your memories. Based on what you’ve said, Ji Xiuran sealed all memories between you two, even I… am probably powerless to help you remember.”
Ji Xiuran, his proudest and most accomplished disciple, his skills in hypnosis are far beyond what Dean Chiyan possesses.
“Ji Xiuran hypnotized me… but why would he do this?” Ye Wanyan’s thoughts are muddled.
“Perhaps he didn’t want you to remember certain things, or maybe he was afraid you’d be hurt by them. Haha, I’m just speculating, don’t take it too seriously,” Dean Chiyan says with a meaningful smile before chuckling.”
