Yè Wǎn Wǎn glanced slightly inexplicably at Dean Chì Yàn, not quite understanding the underlying meaning of his words.
“Hehe, in a way, Jì Xiū Rǎn is my most proud disciple. He learned hypnosis from me, but his mastery surpassed mine long ago. However, Jì Xiū Rǎn’s hypnotic methods are too domineering, while I’m relatively gentle. I can help you recover your memories, but Jì Xiū Rǎn can only help you forget certain things,” Dean Chì Yàn stared at Yè Wǎn Wǎn and chuckled softly.
Upon hearing this, Yè Wǎn Wǎn’s eyebrows slightly furrowed; she wasn’t aware of this particular detail.
When exactly had Jì Xiū Rǎn hypnotized her?
Lost in thought, Yè Wǎn Wǎn wondered if it was during the time when Jì Xiū Rǎn had given her a lunchbox.
“By the way, Wú Yōu, if you’ve lost your memory, could it be Jì Xiū Rǎn’s doing?” Dean Chì Yàn asked, curious, as he looked at Yè Wǎn Wǎn.
Hearing the dean’s words, Yè Wǎn Wǎn shook her head; her situation involved memory overlay and had nothing to do with Jì Xiū Rǎn.
“If not, then I’m not quite sure. After all, it’s your world, you young people. I’m already halfway in the grave; I don’t quite understand,” Dean Chì Yàn smiled faintly.
Jì Xiū Rǎn had once hypnotized her, causing her to forget all memories related to her youth and Jì Xiū Rǎn.
Yè Wǎn Wǎn wasn’t sure why Jì Xiū Rǎn had done so, so her best course of action was to find him and ask.
“Dean, I feel… my memories haven’t fully returned,” Yè Wǎn Wǎn said after a moment of contemplation, addressing Dean Chì Yàn.
“That’s for certain,” Dean Chì Yàn nodded. “Full recovery will take time. Even if your body has been injured, it still needs time to heal, let alone your memories.”
In truth, Yè Wǎn Wǎn had already recalled most of her childhood memories; it was just some crucial memories, like her grandfather’s message and memories of the current president of the Martial Arts Alliance Guild, that remained elusive.
“But is it just a matter of time…” Yè Wǎn Wǎn murmured.
Dean Chì Yàn looked affirmative. “You’re right, but here’s the thing: if there are things you don’t want to remember, no amount of external help will be effective.”
According to the old dean, it seemed the remaining memories could only be regained by her own efforts.
Yè Wǎn Wǎn wasn’t in a hurry either; she had already recalled the majority of her memories, and those that remained were, as Dean Chì Yàn put it, only recoverable with time, beyond human control.
“Yōu, you owe Chì Yàn Academy over three million honor points, have you remembered?” Suddenly, Dean Chì Yàn looked at Yè Wǎn Wǎn with a smiling expression.
As Dean Chì Yàn’s words landed, Yè Wǎn Wǎn slapped her forehead abruptly. “I really don’t remember… Dean, I’ll think about it and get back to you!”
Before Dean Chì Yàn could respond, Yè Wǎn Wǎn had already vanished without a trace.
This fourth hypnosis had been incredibly taxing. Since leaving Chì Yàn Mercenary Academy, Yè Wǎn Wǎn had been utterly exhausted, as if all her energy had been drained at once.
Meanwhile, suddenly there was a guest at Fearless Alliance’s door.
Upon seeing Shura Lord at the doorstep, along with the menacing guards behind him, Běi Dǒu’s fur stood on end in fear.
“Damn it! Sh-Shura Lord! A-Asura has come knocking! Brothers, grab your weapons!”
“Yeah, yeah, weapons! Let’s get them!”
