"Hmm..." Selena glanced to the side, finding Alavenya and Nathan returning to the city holding hands. "It looks like they have settled their own matter."
"Looks like it." Sera nodded while waving her hand.
"..." Noelle didn’t say anything, but her eyes were wavering. Flora, on the other hand, whispered softly, "He’s going to live for who knows how long in one month, you know?"
After knowing what would happen, Noelle couldn’t help but feel a sense of urgency. Even though Nathan had told her to take her ti, she probably didn’t have enough ti anymore. If she let this chance go, she might end up regretting it.
Nathan waved back at Sera while Alavenya looked away, too embarrassed to even look at them. Although she had prepared for this, it was much more embarrassing than she originally thought.
"You’re back, Selena? How is your teacher?"
"Teacher has taken it better than I expected. He will be burying his junior brother sowhere and didn’t say anything regarding their master’s ashes other than showing a slight remorse."
"I see." Nathan nodded. "How about Ying Zhen? Is he out already?"
"Yes." Ying Zhen had recovered after Raphael healed him. However, due to that mory, Ying Zhen ended up having an identity crisis. But it looked like he had absorbed all that mory and knew what he should do next.
"Really? Can you summon him? There’s sothing I’m curious about."
"Well, he..." Selena rubbed her cheek while looking away awkwardly.
...
Vivian’s workshop.
"Now, now. Tell more about it. What do you an by awakening your mory? How can a familiar evolve like this? This is the first ti I’ve seen such a thing.
"No, wait. I have heard that there’s this so-called enlightennt. Is this what it is? But how does it work? Tell more about it." Charlotte was drooling, demanding an explanation from Ying Zhen.
She simply couldn’t contain her curiosity after knowing that Ying Zhen had transford after having that mory.
Ying Zhen, on the other hand, looked away, wondering if he should just escape already. But it looked like Charlotte would chain him if that was necessary to find out that information.
Fortunately, Nathan’s voice suddenly echoed from the side. "Looks like you can’t contain your curiosity, Charlotte."
"Huh?" Charlotte squinted her eyes as if telling Nathan not to stop her. She had to know this information.
Nathan waved his hand, not planning to stop her. He turned to Ying Zhen. "How are you feeling?"
"I’m good." Ying Zhen gracefully nodded.
"You are probably confused right now. From the looks of it, you have rembered the life you had before becoming a jiangshi, right? And it looks like you are related to Mount Hua or sothing. The plum blossom technique is exclusive to Mount Hua, no?"
"!!!" Ying Zhen didn’t expect Nathan to know this much.
"Well, well, well... You look like you know about it as well." Charlotte’s eyes beca like those of a beast, ready to pounce on Nathan.
Nathan chuckled. "If you want to know more about it, you should stay quiet and let others have the opportunity to speak. If you don’t want to know, then you can keep asking about it."
Charlotte opened her mouth before shutting it again. She fixed her posture as if she were trying to listen attentively.
"..." Ying Zhen was a bit speechless at how easy it was for Nathan to control her fixation on knowledge. Hence, he replied, "Yes. Allow to reintroduce myself. My previous na was Baek Jin-Ho. I am one of the Nine Supres, Sword Supre, as well as the Grand Elder of the Mount Hua Sect.
"After my death, it looks like I’ve been revived as a jiangshi and given the na Ying Zhen. I don’t have much mory regarding the owner of my body as a jiangshi. But I rember that person was wearing an official uniform with ’Qing’ on its arm.
"Qing Dynasty?" Nathan nodded in understanding. "No wonder. Mae has researched all kinds of history, especially regarding Japanese mythology and Chinese mythology.
"As expected, when you are there, you have the Heavenly Demon Cult and even the Blood Cult?"
"Yes." Ying Zhen closed his eyes. "When I was known as the sword dragon, I had fought against the Heavenly Demon Cult as the leader of the younger generation for the Martial Alliance.
"However, the fight itself lasted for so long, and it was also the ti for the Blood Cult to appear.
"At that ti, the Blood Cult massacred almost half of the clans, my sect... Zhongnan Sect, Namgoong Clan, and so on. In the end, we defeated the Blood Cult by joining hands with our mortal enemy, the Heavenly Demon Cult.
"As a result, the Heavenly Demon Cult changed its na to the Heavenly Demon Clan."
Nathan thought for a mont before asking, "How about your status? Are you Ying Zhen or Baek Jin-Ho?"
"It looks like the na is Ying Zhen, but ’Baek Jin-Ho’ also appears next to it. My quality has also gone up all the way to Perfect (Middle)."
Nathan raised one finger. "If that’s the case, you must have been quite strong in the past. Considering you are one of the supres, does that an you are a transcendent?"
"Yes. There were a total of 20 transcendents when I was at my peak, which was also the reason for such chaos.
"For now, I’m fine with both nas because they’re both . But I’m thinking about incorporating both of my martial arts. As Baek Jin-Ho, I was a master of the sword, but as Ying Zhen, I had been using my legs. As for my purpose, I’m not entirely sure... Maybe I have co to this world because I wish to get stronger to find out the truth.
"Now that I’ve found that reason, I’m going to serve her for the rest of her life as a repaynt."
Nathan nodded in understanding. He had a good grasp of what was happening to Ying Zhen. The problem was that Charlotte seed to want more information from the looks of her eyes alone.
It looked like Ying Zhen would be devoured if he didn’t do anything.
’I guess I have to help him here. Ti to spew so bullshit again.’
