The main purpose for Li Chen coming to the Heavenly Realm was still to find Lin Yi.
As for Li Changcun, that was just incidental. If possible, he also wanted to see Yang Xin, to see if Yang Xin was truly here.
Of course, what he most wanted to find was still Lin Yi.
Originally, Li Chen thought this would be a long journey, especially after understanding the vastness of the Heavenly Realm, Li Chen realized the difficulty of finding Lin Yi.
But, what he didn’t expect was that he would et Lin Yi again so soon.
Subconsciously, Li Chen wanted to rush over because, at this mont, he could no longer suppress the excitent in his heart.
She was right in front of him!
In the vast sea of people, my eyes see only you.
However, after taking a step, Li Chen’s feet stopped in their tracks.
He indeed wanted to take Lin Yi away imdiately, but he knew he couldn’t do that now.
Li Chen quickly cald down. Looking at Lin Yi, his gaze appeared sowhat flickering, as if making so decision.
He took Lin Yi away, and then?
Return to the Lower Realm?
What if people from the Heavenly Realm ca after them? Could he hold them back?
But if not returning to the Lower Realm, escape? Wander the Heavenly Realm with Lin Yi? Li Chen couldn’t do that either.
He didn’t want Lin Yi to suffer any harm again.
Li Chen was very clear about his current situation. If his identity was exposed, it’s likely that the Extre Wing Sect would co imdiately to kill him.
From Qingyan’s mouth, Li Chen already understood the power of the Extre Wing Sect, even the Nanxiang Prefecture couldn’t confront them. Otherwise, Houng, a disciple of the Extre Wing Sect, wouldn’t dare to make a move against Qingyan.
Li Chen himself didn’t care, but he didn’t want Lin Yi to be hard as well.
However, when Lin Yi’s gaze ca over, Li Chen’s whole body trembled.
Having spent so much ti with Lin Yi, Li Chen knew Lin Yi’s thoughts, and understood Lin Yi’s character. The two almost walked step by step from when Li Chen was weakest to today.
Lin Yi almost never caused him any trouble. Even if sothing happened, she would endure it silently in her heart. Over the years, Li Chen always felt he treated Lin Yi poorly.
But he also knew that Lin Yi towards him, just as he towards Lin Yi, never changed their heart.
In Kunlun, they already understood each other’s intentions.
Li Chen would never mistake soone else for Lin Yi before him now.
However, from Lin Yi’s eyes, he saw a sense of... unfamiliarity.
Even when facing a power of the Heaven Following Realm, Li Chen never feared, even dared to launch a sneak attack. But Lin Yi’s gaze made Li Chen involuntarily tremble.
"She... doesn’t recognize ?"
Lin Yi was curious too. She didn’t understand why this person kept staring at her.
She didn’t know what she was like before, but ever since she woke up, she had been within the sect. The sect treated her well.
Her ntor told her that she seed to have been seriously injured, which led to her forgetting so things from the past.
Looking at this unfamiliar man in front of her, she had an indistinct feeling of familiarity but couldn’t rember anything.
"Is this soone I knew before?"
At this mont, not only Lin Yi but even those around her noticed sothing off about Lin Yi.
Because from just now, Lin Yi had been looking at the roadside, and a man on the roadside was looking at Lin Yi.
A trace of anger flashed across Yuwen Gong’s face. Having spent so much ti with Lin Yi, he never saw Lin Yi look at him with such a gaze. But now, she was staring at a man beside her. How could he not be angry?
If it was so powerhouse’s important person, it might be understandable. But that man on the roadside was clearly just a re Mid-Heaven Realm Initial Stage.
The others also looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.
"Junior Sister Lin?" Yuwen Gong frowned and said, "We still have to go to the Remnant Cloud Forest."
"You all go ahead, I... have so matters," Lin Yi said, without even looking at Yuwen Gong.
A trace of anger flashed in Yuwen Gong’s eyes. He didn’t dare to be angry at Lin Yi, so he directed his anger towards Li Chen.
"You over there, kid, what are you looking at? Can soone from Tianyu Sect be casually stared at by a loose cultivator like you?"
Li Chen frowned but paid no heed to Yuwen Gong. He could see that this guy had thoughts about Lin Yi.
If this was outside Baiyue City, Li Chen would have acted directly, without the slightest hesitation.
Even inside Baiyue City, if this guy really dared to cause trouble, Li Chen wouldn’t mind showing him not everyone’s intentions are permissible.
He dared to attack from the Heaven Following Realm, dared to kill in the Envy Heaven Realm mid-stage, and he certainly wouldn’t fear just a Mid-Heaven Realm Late Stage.
In Li Chen’s opinion, this Yuwen Gong was similar to Guu Bugui, maybe slightly stronger, but not by much.
With his current strength, he truly didn’t fear such a Mid-Heaven Realm Late Stage.
And seeing that Li Chen was ignoring him, Yuwen Gong, accustod to arrogance, imdiately beca a bit irritable. Lin Yi not paying attention to him was sothing he couldn’t help, but how could this small role, an initial stage loose cultivator of the Mid-Heaven Realm, dare to ignore him as well?
With a "zing", a longsword was unsheathed, and Yuwen Gong imdiately slashed towards Li Chen with a sword.
A glint of ferocity flashed in his eyes; even if he didn’t kill this youngster, he needed to teach him a lesson, to make him understand that so people weren’t to be simply offended!
"Senior Brother Yuwen, don’t...!"
"Senior Brother Yuwen, we’re inside the city...!"
Nearby Yuwen Gong, other fellow disciples hurriedly shouted, but evidently, by this ti it was already too late.
A cold tint flashed in Li Chen’s eyes, surprised that this guy actually dared to make a move. Just as he was about to retaliate, a figure suddenly blocked in front of him.
"Clang!"
The two longswords collided, producing a crisp ringing sound. Yuwen Gong glared grimly at Lin Yi, who stood blocking him.
However, Lin Yi also staggered back two steps, supported by Li Chen’s hands.
Feeling the man’s sowhat awkward grip on her shoulders, Lin Yi instinctively broke free from Li Chen’s hands, but after doing so, a strange feeling surged in her heart.
"Senior Brother Yuwen, this person hasn’t offended you. Why did you suddenly attack?" Lin Yi said, looking at Yuwen Gong with a composed expression.
"Junior Sister Lin, I..." Yuwen Gong stamred, not knowing what to say.
Indeed, the other party had not offended him, not even noticed him, yet he was angry for this reason?
Clearly not; more than anything, he was just feeling jealous!
But so words are difficult to say out loud, so he could only swallow them, his face growing increasingly gloomy.
"Senior Brother Yuwen, you should go first. I’ve said that I have so matters to attend to. If I don’t catch up, just enter the Remnant Cloud Forest directly." Lin Yi said coldly.
"I... humph!" Yuwen Gong’s gaze landed on Li Chen, finally letting out a cold snort before turning to leave.
After all, this was Baiyue City, and cities have their own rules. Even if they were disciples of a Five-Star Sect, they shouldn’t cause too much trouble.
The other fellow disciples around Yuwen Gong shook their heads and gave Li Chen and Lin Yi an apologetic look before following Yuwen Gong away.
Only when the group left did Lin Yi slowly turn her head to look at Li Chen, her eyes filled with so confusion.
"Do we... know each other?"
Hearing Lin Yi’s question, Li Chen quickly touched his face, reverting to his previous appearance.
Yet, Lin Yi’s expression remained sowhat puzzled.
Seeing Lin Yi’s expression, Li Chen finally understood.
Initially, seeing Lin Yi stand in front of him, Li Chen thought Lin Yi might have recognized him, but now it seed he was overthinking it.
A sudden wave of sorrow welled up in Li Chen’s heart.
"...Did you lose your mory?" Li Chen asked with so difficulty.
Seeing the sorrow on Li Chen’s face, Lin Yi felt a strange pang in her heart for so reason.
Nodding slightly, she said, "I seem to have been injured, so I’ve forgotten everything from before, only rembering I’m called Lin Yi... Did you know before?"
Li Chen nodded silently.
"Let’s go to the Xi Tower." Lin Yi looked around before saying to Li Chen, then walked towards a nearby Xi Tower.
Li Chen’s eyes were sowhat dazed as he followed Lin Yi, like a walking corpse.
"Was I... wrong?"
"Were all my efforts for nothing?"
"In the end, am I just a useless fool who can’t even protect my own wife?"
Sitting inside a private room in the Xi Tower, from beginning to end, Li Chen hadn’t said another word.
For so reason, seeing Li Chen in this state, Lin Yi’s heart ached even more, and even her chest felt tight.
She didn’t know who she was, where she ca from, or who the man in front of her was, but seeing the man before her sad made her feel extrely upset.
"Can you tell who I am, where I ca from? I want to know what I used to be like." Lin Yi asked.
Li Chen lifted his head slightly, his face still sowhat pale: "Why do you want to know?"
The sa appearance, the sa deanor, but he knew the Lin Yi before him was no longer the sa Lin Yi as before.
Sotis, mories are everything to a person.
Lin Yi hesitated, then said, "My master told she found when I was seriously injured. After I woke up, I had amnesia. I don’t know why, but I want to restore my mory and know what kind of person I was. I’m a bit... afraid."
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, especially the last part, Li Chen was inexplicably shaken.
Afraid...
She wants to recover her mory! She’s afraid!
Li Chen’s initially hollow eyes seed to ignite with sothing burning within.
