Chapter 173 Sealed Memory
Chapter 173 Sealed Memory
A faint smile appeared on Lu Huaiyuan's face: "Okay, that's no problem."
"Since Big Brother said he missed me, then why can't I do that?"
Lu Shixiao smiled back and then looked around.
He looked away, and after a moment's silence, he finally spoke, "Xiao Yuan, the current situation is so chaotic. Your sister and I can't rest easy knowing you're living here alone."
Lu Shixiao paused, then continued, "How about this, you just come home with me this time, okay?"
"If our family gets together, we can take care of each other. Wouldn't that be more convenient?"
In the past two years, the domestic situation has become increasingly serious, the shadow of war has shrouded the earth, and it seems that war is about to break out.
After all, Mr. Lu is old and his health is deteriorating.
So the children discussed it and sent their child abroad to seek safety.
Now, only Lu Shixiao and Lu Xiangyi are left in the Lu family.
Previously, when Lu Huaiyuan wanted to live with Rong Jingyan, they had no objection.
But the situation is different now. Lu Shixiao is worried about his younger brother and feels more at ease having him stay by his side.
But after hearing what he said, Lu Huaiyuan refused: "No need, big brother. I'm going to leave in a few days, so I won't go back with you."
Lu Shixiao was startled and asked hurriedly, "Leaving? Xiao Yuan, where are you planning to go?"
Lu Huaiyuan lowered his eyes slightly, making it impossible to see the true emotion in his eyes.
"When the master was alive, I always wanted to stay with him. But now that he is gone, I also want to continue to complete what he left unfinished," he said.
When Lu Shixiao heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
"You can do these things if you stay in Pingzhou. Xiao Yuan, you......"
He wanted to try to persuade him, but Lu Huaiyuan just shook his head.
"Are you coming back?" Lu Shixiao asked.
Lu Huaiyuan's words were vague: "When everything is over, I will come back to see you."
Lu Shixiao knew that he had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more.
He raised his head slightly, and finally reached out to rub Lu Huaiyuan's head.
In this chaotic world, everyone has their own path to follow and things to do.
But even if we are far apart, as long as we are safe with each other, it is the best.
-----------------
Rong Jingyan's funeral was not a grand affair, but was kept simple.
But despite the simple ceremony, people from all walks of life came to pay their respects, resulting in a large number of people on the scene.
Relevant articles were published in the newspapers to commemorate and remember his death.
However, due to a series of events that occurred before, most of Rong Jingyan's works have been destroyed, which makes people feel extremely regretful and sad.
Lu Huaiyuan looked at the dark crowd from afar, wondering what he was thinking.
He stopped for a moment, then turned around and left silently.
At some point, a drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky, as if the rain was crying for someone.
The Lu family knew that Lu Huaiyuan was leaving, but as he requested, they did not see him off.
The Lu family knew that Lu Huaiyuan was about to leave.
Although I was reluctant, I still followed his request and did not go to see him off.
Lu Xiangyi looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Mu Wenqian, who had successfully become a regular employee, came up from behind her and put a coat on her.
It's still August, but it feels strangely chilly.
Lu Xiangyi leaned in Mu Wenqian's arms, letting her tears wet her clothes.
-----------------
Late September.
The general of Pingzhou was assassinated at home.
After his death, the organization that Rong Jingyan belonged to successfully took over his power with the help of Lu Shixiao and others.
They united with several like-minded forces around them to form a new regime and began to develop.
November of the same year.
The Emperor of Yingzhou died suddenly, and the regime fell into chaos, which also interrupted their plans of foreign aggression.
After that, their plans could not be carried out for at least two years.
At the same time, the new regime in the country is developing rapidly.
The country has been weak for a long time, and this war may be unavoidable, but this nation will always be resilient, will always stand firm, and will ultimately be immortal.
Through the efforts of generation after generation, this nation will be reborn from the ashes of suffering and become even more glorious.
-----------------
After finishing everything, Lu Huaiyuan returned to Pingzhou.
He first went back to the Lu family, but did not alarm anyone.
After seeing the current situation of his family, he went to Rong Jingyan's grave.
It has been more than half a year since the funeral, but this is his first time here.
He reached out and touched the tombstone, but said, "I really have to leave this time. See you next time."
Xiao Qi woke up from his sleep and looked at the small world in front of him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
I have to say that he was really afraid that the owner of the house would destroy the small world in anger.
But fortunately, nothing happened.
【Let’s go. 】
Lu Huaiyuan stood up and spoke slowly.
「Um, sir……I……」
Xiao Qi trembled and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Lu Huaiyuan's expression did not change, he just spoke.
[Just say it, no need to hesitate.]
[Si, Siming Palace, Siming Palace said that since you failed this mission, as punishment, your memory will be sealed in the next world!]
【And this time it is a mandatory request, you cannot refuse. 】
Xiao Qi gritted his teeth and said everything in one breath.
[Seal the memory? What if I don't agree? ]
Lu Huaiyuan spoke, his tone somewhat ambiguous.
【Then we won’t be able to go to the next world. 】
[Sir, this only seals your memories of the missions you completed in previous worlds. It shouldn't have any impact.]
The more it spoke, the softer its voice became, and it was obvious that it was lacking in confidence.
Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
[Sir, if you really don't want to, we...]
[Block it, I agree.]
Lu Huaiyuan suddenly spoke, interrupting it.
The other party forcibly broke through the world's restrictions just to seal his memory?
The plan of the person behind the scenes is really puzzling!
But since the other party has put so much effort into it, if he doesn't cooperate, wouldn't it seem like he is not merciful enough?
You want to seal his memory, right?
That's what they wish for!
But in the next world, don’t let him catch you.
otherwise……
Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed across Lu Huaiyuan's eyes.
He lowered his eyes slightly, then added a barrier in his sea of consciousness to protect Xiao Qi.
At the same time, he also left a spell deep in the other party's soul.
Xiao Qi was still immersed in the shock of Lu Huaiyuan's agreement to block his memory, and had no idea what was happening.
Lu Huaiyuan raised his hand with a faint smile and took back the divine power in the world barrier.
The reason why Simingdian dares to make such a request now is nothing more than his care for Ayan.
But since you want to plot against him, right?
Then let’s see who has the better skills!
【Let’s go. 】
After Lu Huaiyuan finished speaking, he looked up at the sky with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
He has been idle for hundreds of thousands of years and hasn't exercised for a long time!
Xiao Qi responded.
[Okay, sir. 】
-----------------
-----------------
[Ding! You have arrived at a new dimension! ]
[The world story is loading, please wait! ]
A mechanical voice sounded in his mind, and Lu Huaiyuan frowned unhappily.
"Thorn-"
There was a sound of cloth tearing, and Lu Huaiyuan suddenly opened his eyes.
He raised his eyes and met the eyes of the person in front of him.
The man was lying on top of him and was not surprised to see him wake up.
"A Yuan."
The other person's tone was gentle and his voice was affectionate, like the whispers between lovers.
But after he finished speaking, he lowered his head and wanted to kiss him.
Seeing this, Lu Huaiyuan frowned slightly, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
He summoned the divine power in his hand and directly knocked the man out.
The man was caught off guard and flew a considerable distance.
The impact was so great that he fell to the ground and fainted.
Lu Huaiyuan stood up immediately afterwards, but after seeing the scene clearly, he couldn't help but become furious.
He raised his eyes slightly, and the divine power in his palms continued to gather.
As if sensing his murderous intent, the system quickly spoke out to stop him.
[Host, this is the mission target, you cannot kill him.]
Mission objective?
Lu Huaiyuan spoke slowly, his expression unchanged.
【What does it have to do with me?】
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, the system was afraid that he would really kill the person, so it spoke hurriedly.
[Host, this is your partner, you cannot kill him.]
【companion?】
Lu Huaiyuan paused, but spoke in a nonchalant tone.
[Is your system always lying so carelessly now? When did I ever have a partner?]
The system felt a shock throughout its body and quickly explained.
[Host, this is the partner you identified when you were doing missions in previous worlds. The system is not lying.]
[Previous worlds? How come I didn't know there were previous worlds?]
Lu Huaiyuan spoke, but it was obvious that he did not trust the system.
[Host, this is the case. Since you failed your mission in the previous world, as punishment, we have temporarily sealed your memory in this world.]
[When this world ends, you will be able to recover your memory. ]
The system paused and added.
【This matter has also been approved by you. 】
Lu Huaiyuan actually believed this to some extent.
But he turned his eyes slightly and said.
"This is just empty talk. How can you prove that what you say is true? How can I believe you?"
Upon hearing this, the system hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke reluctantly.
[I can send you the footage of you completing quests in the previous worlds, but the content is not much.]
Lu Huaiyuan didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he agreed to the system's proposal.
As those unfamiliar fragments flashed by one by one, his eyes softened a little.
However, due to Lu Huaiyuan's strict defense, the images they could capture were very limited, and more content came from the previous small world.
The content was quickly played out, and Lu Huaiyuan opened his eyes again. The domineering aura around him faded away, and he returned to his lazy look.
He put away his divine power and walked towards the person not far away.
Lu Huaiyuan squatted down and gently turned the other person's face, only then could he see the man's appearance clearly.
With a high nose bridge and eyebrows as black as ink, he looks really good.
After Lu Huaiyuan took a look, he withdrew his hand.
He could tell that the image the system had just given him was not fictitious, and the matter of the partner should not be a lie told by the system.
After all, he couldn't deceive anyone with his inner feelings.
But the person in front of him...
Let’s take a look!
Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyuan moved his fingertips slightly and instantly moved the person to the couch next to him.
Considering that this person might be his partner, Lu Huaiyuan even 'thoughtfully' gave the other person a quilt.
After doing these things, Lu Huaiyuan withdrew his gaze and began to carefully look at the environment he was in.
It was a fairly large palace with carved beams and painted buildings, looking magnificent and golden.
He was not exaggerating, every brick and tile here seemed to exude nobility.
Lu Huaiyuan took a quick stroll and summed up two words.
fine!
luxurious!
If he guessed correctly, this should be the royal palace of some country.
If nothing unexpected happens, his status should be quite high.
but……
Lu Huaiyuan lowered his head and looked at the women's clothing he was wearing, and couldn't help but want to curse again.
Sensing his thoughts, the system spoke first.
[The world plot has been loaded, please accept it. 】
Upon hearing this, Lu Huaiyuan didn't say anything, but just pulled up a fake smile at the corner of his mouth.
It’s better not to be what he thinks!
Otherwise, when he returns, he will definitely kill Siming!
Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyuan lowered his eyes slightly and quietly received the content from the system.
Lu Huaiyuan was right in his prediction. The identity of this body was indeed not low. She was the queen mother of a country!
He was born as a man, but became the queen mother of Dongling Kingdom under the name of a woman.
As for the reasons behind this, we have to start from ten years ago.
At that time, the Emperor of Dongling Kingdom, Jun Pingxuan, believed the slander and sent a large army to encircle and suppress the Chongyue clan, just to obtain the rumored secret technique of immortality.
As the young master of the Chongyue clan, Lu Huaiyuan, who was only eight years old at the time, escaped under the desperate protection of his clan members.
But looking at his burned home and the tragic deaths of his parents and relatives, the young Lu Huaiyuan remembered this overwhelming hatred in his heart.
The Chongyue clan actually does not have any secret technique for immortality, but they do have a secret technique.
This technique can change the voice and appearance of the practitioner, thereby confusing a person's gender.
If used in conjunction with the Chongyue clan's secret fragrance, it can, to a certain extent, confuse other people's minds.
This method requires extremely high talent from the practitioner, and Lu Huaiyuan happens to be the one with extraordinary talent.
Over the years, he has mastered the use of this secret technique to perfection.
Therefore, when Lu Huaiyuan was sixteen years old, when he learned that Jun Pingxuan was about to leave the palace to inspect the south, he had a plan in his mind.
He changed his name to Qu Yuan, disguised himself as a woman, and had an unexpected encounter with the other party.
Lu Huaiyuan has a handsome appearance, and with the blessing of secret techniques, he wears only white clothes and indeed has a cold and aloof look, as if he is not of this world.
Jun Pingxuan was lustful by nature, and had been seeking the art of immortality for years. When he suddenly ran into Lu Huaiyuan, he felt like he had met a fairy.
Therefore, despite everyone's opposition, he "forcibly" brought Lu Huaiyuan back to the palace and canonized her as a concubine.
There are many concubines in Jun Pingxuan's harem, but Lu Huaiyuan is the only one who is favored.
It only took him one year to become the queen.
But Lu Huaiyuan's ambition does not lie here.
He caused chaos in the harem of the previous dynasty and took advantage of Jun Pingxuan's favor to eliminate his enemies one by one.
But what Lu Huaiyuan hated most was the direct murderer who led to the annihilation of his entire clan, Jun Pingxuan.
So under his design, Jun Pingxuan's sons fought to the death in the struggle for imperial power, and almost none of them had a good ending.
However, although Lu Huaiyuan is mentally twisted, he still has a trace of humanity.
The several princes of Jun Pingxuan ended up like this because they were greedy for power and wanted the throne.
Lu Huaiyuan only killed his enemies, taking advantage of human desires, but he would not swing the "blade" at truly innocent people.
