Yu Shu had thought about it before. After finding Jing Chen, she would either scold him or beat him up. Jing Chen might blame her for hiding it when she lost her memory. At the same time, he also had his own reasons for leaving. She just needed to make things clear. However, she never expected that this guy would say that he wanted to be her brother again.
What did this mean? Yu Shu was not so stupid that she couldn't understand. What was a brother? It was a very, very good friend. At this point, the previous talk about boyfriend and girlfriend, whether they liked each other or not, all became nonsense.
At that time, she used this kind of words to reject Xue Rui. Now, she also heard it. How did she feel? She couldn't explain it clearly. Yu Shu's mind was a mess. It was inevitable that she was sad, but more than that, she was angry and hesitant.
She pointed the sword at Jing Chen, not because she was really sad and angry to the point of hurting him, but because this kind of unreasonable rejection made her unable to accept it calmly.
Even if Jing Chen had regained his memories and had many difficulties, he couldn't just casually deny their previous relationship.
"Xiaoyu," Jing Chen tilted his head and looked at the rusted sword on his shoulder. There was a little more sadness in his eyes. "It's my fault. I didn't remember anything before, so I offended you and crossed the line. You should be angry with me. If cutting me with your sword can appease your anger, why not?"
"Haha." Yu Shu was so angry that she laughed. If killing was not against the law, she really wanted to poke a hole in his body. Unfortunately, she was not so impulsive. She took the sword away from his neck, sat back on the ground, and stabbed the sword into the soil of the grass beside her. She sneered.
"I won't cut you. I just want to know why you suddenly changed your mind and said that you want to be my brother. I remember right. A month ago, you said to me that you liked me. So you don't admit it so soon?"
Yu Shu's words were too straightforward. Jing Chen was a little embarrassed. He remembered the scene in the forest in the city that day, so he lowered his head and said,
"At that time, I forgot a lot of things. I don't know if I can tell you …"
Jing Chen didn't know how to continue, but Yu Shu didn't intend to let him go.
"Can't you do anything to me? Can't you have romantic feelings for me? Tell me, what have you remembered? Is it that the Taoist priests of your Longhu Mountain are not allowed to talk about marriage, or are you already married? "
Apart from these two points, she couldn't think of any other reason for Jing Chen to change his mind.
Jing Chen shook his head.
Yu Shu frowned. "Then tell me why. Don't tell me you don't like me anymore after you regain your memory?"
Jing Chen's face turned slightly red as he listened to her saying that she liked him, but he didn't say anything.
Yu Shu was a short-tempered person. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of her, she reached out and pulled him to sit down beside her. She took two deep breaths and held back her anger. She said with a straight face,
"There must be a reason for everything. Tell me why first. If what you say makes sense, I will consider continuing to be your brother. Otherwise, we might as well break up. From then on, you can live your own life and I'll live my own life. I don't want to do it even if I die of old age."
The words "I don't want to do it even if I die of old age" made Jing Chen moved. He turned his head and looked at Yu Shu's angry face. He felt very guilty and hesitated, but he still told her frankly.
"When I left the mountain gate, my master repeatedly warned me that before I found the person who broke my destiny, I was not allowed to move my Taoist heart. I was not allowed to have love or hate, not allowed to have selfish desires, and not allowed to have romantic feelings. It's because Kedu Star is an ominous star that dominates the right and wrong of human relationships. It's in my destiny. Therefore, I've been practicing Taoism for more than ten years. I've been controlling my heart with Taoism all year round. If my heart doesn't move, my body doesn't move. Everything goes according to my heart. That's why I can't have a romantic relationship with you. Otherwise, as time passes, it will eventually lead to a great disaster. Even with the Adversity Blocking Stone in hand, I won't be able to escape. At that time, not only will you be implicated for no reason, even the people around you will be implicated for no reason. Xiao Yu, I know that you value relationships and righteousness. You also don't want to see Xiaoxiu and Doctor He implicated because of us, right? "
After listening to Jing Chen's words, Yu Shu was shocked. She had suffered at the hands of Jing Chen's Kedu Star and knew how powerful it was. However, after being with Jing Chen for so long, she used the Law of Time of Calamity to carefully guard against it. Every time she dodged it, it would be more daunting than dangerous. Slowly, her fear of the Kedu Star lessened. She even became somewhat fearless. However, she didn't know that what she knew was only the tip of the iceberg. This thing was actually impossible to guard against, it was pervasive!
At this moment, she no longer had the mood to be angry at Jing Chen's "change of heart". Instead, she was afraid. If Jing Chen didn't recover his memory and didn't leave alone when the Kedu Star's ominous aura was at its peak, wouldn't she have harmed Xiaoxiu and Zhao Hui's family?
Thinking of this, Yu Shu broke out in a cold sweat. She leaned against the tree trunk in exhaustion. Seeing this, Jing Chen's face became even more ashamed. He raised his hand to comfort her, but when it was about to land on her shoulder, he retracted it. His eyes revealed a determined look, but his voice was apologetic.
"I've been in the forest for half a month and have calmed my Dao heart. I definitely can't do it again. I know this time I didn't keep my words and went against what I said in the forest that day. I'm willing to apologize to you. However, you and I can only be friends. As for love, that's absolutely out of the question. "
Hearing this, Yu Shu's heart was already half cold. She closed her eyes weakly and waved her hand at him, saying, "Don't say anything first. Let me think about it."
The fire swayed between the shadows of the trees, illuminating Yu Shu's dirty and messy body. Her hair bun had long been loosened and hung messily on her shoulders. Some dead branches and leaves were stuck at the end of her hair. The mud on her face was gray and black because of her sweat. Her hands were rough and black. It could be imagined how she found her way here.
Looking at Yu Shu like this, Jing Chen's chest tightened. He knew that his Dao heart was about to move, so he quickly looked away and silently recited the Clear Heart Formula. After calming down, he picked up a dead branch beside him and added it to the fire. He also didn't say anything.
The two sat quietly like this for a long time. With a low sigh, Yu Shu suddenly asked,
"Then where is your Life Destroyer now? Are you planning to hide for a while and look for him?"
Jing Chen stopped reciting and said, "I don't know where the Life Breaker is now, but after the full moon on the 15th, I have to go to the capital first."
"Go to the capital?" Yu Shu sensed that there was something else in his words. "Why? Do you know anyone else in the capital?"
Jing Chen slowly turned his head and said seriously, "Xiaoyu, can you promise me that you won't leak anything about my fate and what I told you today to anyone else?"
Yu Shu said self-deprecatingly, "Don't you know how tight-lipped I am? Otherwise, I wouldn't have lied to you all the way without you noticing. Don't worry. If I mention what you said to me today to a third person, I'll be a pauper for eight lifetimes. "
"There's no need to swear." Jing Chen shook his head and said without doubt, "I naturally believe you."
Hearing this, Yu Shu felt a little better. She asked again, "You just said that you want to go to the capital. Why are you going to the capital?"
Jing Chen's gaze was calm in the night. "You should know that there was a Yi Zi in my dynasty twenty years ago. He was called Yun Hua."
Yu Shu nodded. "Who doesn't know about Yun Hua Zi?"
"I am the son of Yun Hua Zi and Princess Luyue in the past."
Yu Shu widened her eyes and looked at Jing Chen in disbelief. She mumbled, "You said that you are the son of Yun Hua Zi and Princess He?"
A long time ago, Yu Shu had heard of the love story of Yun Hua Zi and the eldest princess. One was a dragon among men, and the other was a proud daughter of heaven. Unfortunately, Yun Hua died young, and the princess died for him. It became a sad and beautiful story that was passed down to the later generations.
Now, Jing Chen told her that he was the descendant of that couple. No matter how she listened to it, it sounded like a fantasy story.
Jing Chen nodded. He seemed to know that she did not believe him, so he reiterated, "I didn't lie to you."
Yu Shu asked suspiciously, "Then why did you join the Daoist mountain gate?"
Jing Chen said, "I heard from my master that my parents died young. Less than half a year after I was born, I was sent to the Daoist sect by the royal family of Da An. Because my sect's founding master and Great Ancestor An were old friends, he took my life and offended the heavens. Thinking of the relationship between the seniors, the sect head promised to protect my life and help me restrain the ferocious power of Kedu Star until the Life Breaker appeared. I went down the mountain a year ago because the sect head predicted the birth of the Life Breaker and ordered me to go down the mountain to look for him. That's why I met you. "
This time, Yu Shu couldn't help but believe him. Back then, she had asked Daoist Qing Zheng about Planet Ketu, and that old man had told her that if it wasn't for someone with great ability helping to defy the heavens and change one's fate, with Jing Chen's fate, he wouldn't even be able to live to the age of one.
It wasn't strange that Jing Chen had such a strange background.
Yu Shu turned back to look at Jing Chen again. She saw that he had been sleeping in the forest for half a month. Although his clothes were covered with dust and he looked haggard, his actions couldn't hide his bright nature. How could such a person not be the descendant of Yun Hua Yi Zi?
As she looked, Yu Shu suddenly remembered an important matter. Her expression changed, and she pressed down on Jing Chen's arm and asked nervously,
"Oh right, I forgot to ask you. After you bid farewell to me in Yiyang, didn't you say that you were going to find the Life Breaker? But what did you encounter on the way? You were actually seriously injured and abandoned in the river. Who exactly did this to you!"
Hearing this, Jing Chen frowned suddenly. As he thought, he raised his hand to press his throbbing forehead and said hoarsely, "I don't remember that part."
"You don't remember?" Yu Shu shouted. Seeing that Jing Chen seemed to have an unbearable headache, she hurriedly lowered her voice, bent her knees, and squatted in front of him. She asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
Jing Chen closed his eyes and said, "Every time I think of this part, I have a headache. I can't remember it no matter how hard I try. Before I went down the mountain, the headmaster told me to stay in Yiyang City for a full month and then wait in Jianye City for the royal family to come and take me back to the capital. I only remember that after I bid farewell to you, I left Yiyang, and then I was saved by you on the boat. Only the part in the middle is missing. I don't know who hurt me and buried the needle in me. "
After knowing about Jing Chen's background, Yu Shu thought that he had been killed on the way. She was worried and wanted to figure it out, but Jing Chen had forgotten this part. Seeing that he was really uncomfortable, she did not ask anymore but comforted him.
"It should be that you have just taken out the needle and have not completely recovered your memory. Maybe you will remember it after a period of time."
Jing Chen heard that her tone had softened and was no longer angry. He opened his eyes and looked at her worried face. He asked uncertainly,
