But there’s one thing I need to tell you two." He changed the subject. "Right, I should tell you—when Sima Xiaowen left just now, she said she wanted to help her erase all her mories related to Chu Chengfeng. I didn’t agree for the ti being. After all, she’s different from Danny, so I’m not completely sure I can do it safely."
"What, she wants to erase all her mories of Chu Chengfeng?"
The one who blurted it out was actually Chu Chengfeng, who had been sitting on the sofa in silence. Chief Mo Li of the Phoenix Clan, Gu Junbai, gave him a cool glance and nodded. "Yes, that’s right."
What Elder Sima was most concerned about was whether his daughter’s Divine Sense would be damaged. After all, their bloodline was different from ordinary people’s; they carried the blood of the Divine Clan. Strengths co with weaknesses—so things simply cannot be done lightly. If you do them wrong, it’s eternal damnation with no way back.
"Xiao Wen, was she insistent?" Elder Sima asked anxiously.
"She does have that idea. Qiaoqiao said a couple of words to her on the side, asked her to think it over. Besides, I won’t be leaving the Imperial Capital anyti soon anyway."
Gu Junbai offered a faint explanation.
Hearing this, Elder Sima was at ease, because at present the only one who had this ability was Gu Junbai.
As long as Gu Junbai didn’t make a move, his daughter wouldn’t act rashly.
Though he actually felt this idea wasn’t bad at all.
If she could really forget this brat Chu Chengfeng, that would be a good thing.
Only then did he recall Chu Chengfeng’s reaction just now. However, in front of Gu Junbai, he wouldn’t be as casual as he was in the study. Even so, he still said in a low voice, "Clan Leader, if Xiao Wen really does this, as long as there’s no danger, I’m in favor."
How great it would be if she forgot—if she couldn’t rember anything. His daughter would go back to how she used to be, and she wouldn’t be driven to heartbreak every ti she thought of that Chu Chengfeng who had treated her so well.
Chu Chengfeng pressed his thin lips together again and gave a slight nod. "Mm."
In this matter, he was the one with the least right to speak.
He himself didn’t understand why he had reacted so strongly just now.
It was as if, deep inside him, there was a voice—weak, but as though it were using every last bit of strength to scream and stop Xiao Wen from doing this—yet all he could do was throw every word into a boundless Hell.
He had no right to ask Sima Xiaowen not to do this!
If she could really forget, that would be a good thing too.
There was even a trace of panic in his heart, because he knew that the Divine Sense from the more than twenty years he had lived as Chu Chengfeng had not completely disappeared.
But he didn’t know where it was—whether in his dantian or in his sea of consciousness—he only knew that it still existed. Even though that sense of existence was almost zero, he couldn’t ignore it.
What if one day he rembered everything?
Just like Elder Sima had said, the three of them would end up in an extrely awkward situation.
There was no way he could abandon Liu Ling; the two of them had depended on each other for so many years.
So the best thing would be to rember nothing at all. It was just that, even with that thought, his expression visibly sank into dejection.
Which made Gu Junbai look at him several more tis. In his impression, he had once seen the Clan Leader of the Phoenix Clan, youthful and arrogant, spirited and high-spirited, with high Cultivation and good looks, carrying a sense of superiority and brilliance no one else could compare with. Yet he hadn’t expected that after several Nirvanas, they should have been able to live a flawless life, but sotis they still managed to make a complete ss of it.
Although he didn’t approve of Sima Xiaowen erasing her mories, he also felt that if Sima Xiaowen no longer rembered, and Chu Chengfeng vanished forever, that might actually be the best choice for all three of them.
Just then, Gu Qiaoqiao ca in. She smiled and said to Elder Sima, "Sister Xiao Wen’s fine now." Then she looked at the people in the living room. "Lunch is ready. Let’s go eat."
Only then did Chu Chengfeng co back to himself. He stood up and said, "I still have things to deal with downtown. I won’t stay for the al."
Then he looked at Elder Sima. "Elder, if anything cos up, call ."
He also said to Gu Junbai, "Mr. Gu, sorry for the disturbance."
After that he strode out in a hurry and left, never once speaking to Gu Qiaoqiao from beginning to end.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t mind. She had known Chu Chengfeng wouldn’t stay here for the al.
As he hurried away, Chu Chengfeng suddenly realized that because of the argunt with Sima Xiaowen just now, he’d forgotten the most important thing: that Shui Liuzi.
What had happened to that man back then?
Was he alive or dead?
But then he thought, although that man was from the Mystic Sect, he didn’t necessarily have a bloodline like theirs. So as ti passed and they ca to the present, he might already have turned to dust long ago.
This... he would deal with later.
He pushed down the thoughts in his heart, started the car, and sped away.
Elder Sima showed no emotional fluctuation at all because of Chu Chengfeng’s departure. Gu Qiaoqiao knew that within the Phoenix Clan, the hierarchy wasn’t all that strict.
Besides, the tis had co to where they were now.
A lot of things should keep up with the tis. And Gu Qiaoqiao also knew that Chu Chengfeng’s forr self had grown up watched over by the four elders.
Their feelings for him were naturally out of the ordinary. If not for this matter with Sima Xiaowen, Gu Qiaoqiao felt Elder Sima should actually have been happier.
After lunch, Elder Sima went to call the other three elders in the clan.
And Xiao Wen went back to work at the beef noodle shop.
She didn’t bring up the matter of erasing her mories again. No one knew whether she had let it go, or had so other idea. Since Xiao Wen didn’t say anything, Gu Qiaoqiao naturally didn’t ask. She just took Xiao Bai and White Wolf back to the Qin Family’s Courtyard.
Although Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were over eight months old, their walking was already getting steadier and steadier.
The two little ones were fair and tender, and they weren’t ordinary people either, so they were a bit taller than other kids their age.
An Xiaotong often brought her child over to play, and adding in Qin Yishan’s child, when you counted them up, only Gu Qiaoqiao’s Xiao Bei was a girl. She truly was getting more and more treasured.
By the ti they got back, Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were already asleep. This was the routine Qin Yize had trained into them. Other things could be spoiled, but in many areas Qin Yize was very strict with them. Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t stop him, because this would be good for the children’s future.
Self-disciplined people don’t live badly, no matter what environnt they’re in.
Besides, Qin Yize had his own plans in mind.
Gu Qiaoqiao told Xiao Bai and White Wolf to go play in the back garden. By this ti Qin Yize had already gone to work.
He was at a critical phase of his research now.
So, relatively speaking, he was spending far less ti at ho.
When she found out Qin Yize hadn’t co ho for lunch, Gu Qiaoqiao called Luh Fei.
Right then Qin Yize was still in the lab; he had definitely forgotten to eat. Luh Fei sounded very guilty. Gu Qiaoqiao naturally knew why, so she hurriedly said, "I’ll go cook right now and bring it over in a bit."
Luh Fei instantly brightened up. "Sister-in-law, that would be really great."
