Little Ann could always feel the change in Li Qingshan's mood, and strangely tilted her head.
Li Qingshan drove Liu Chuanfeng out, closed the door, and aimlessly asked Little Ann about her recent practice.
Little Ann was even more puzzled: "Did something happen?"
Li Qingshan smiled bitterly and rubbed his head. He had never believed himself to be an irresolute person, but he understood now that the reason why he was not irresolute was because he had never encountered something that was truly difficult for him to decide on.
Letting her recover her memory and find her original name and identity was once a wish in his heart. Sending her back to her hometown was the first promise he made in this world.
But if this old wish and promise came at the same time, he would definitely not be able to smile.
"I found a good thing that may help you." Li Qingshan pondered for a moment and told the truth. He took out the remaining half of the Water of Memory and explained its function to Little Ann.
Then, Li Qingshan found that Little Ann's performance was not more calm than his. The hand holding the Water of Memory even trembled slightly, causing the blue liquid to tremble.
There was no excitement and joy of being able to recover her memory. She lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her big eyes.
"I don't want to drink it."
"Why?" Li Qingshan asked despite already knowing the answer. They were connected, so how could he not understand her worries? If it were possible, he would rather not know about the existence of this potion, even if he could not obtain the power of belief through writing novels.
But as an adult. He could not let a child be willful, and he could not let himself be willful. He had to do what was good for "her".
"Don't be willful. Try it. I just tried it, and the effect is not bad. Maybe it really works. Of course, it may not work, so don't expect too much. "
Little Ann raised her head. She looked straight into Li Qingshan's eyes and said with a heartbreaking expression, "I'm not going anywhere, okay?"
Li Qingshan's heart gradually became firm and returned to normal. He grinned and kissed her forehead heavily. "Wherever you go, I'll go!"
Xiao An closed his eyes and gulped down the rest of the Water of Memory in the bottle.
It was a slightly bitter liquid. Along the throat. It flowed into his stomach and turned into a mysterious energy that spread throughout his body. It soared straight into the sky.
After a long time, Little Ann opened his eyes.
Li Qingshan said, "How is it?"
Little Ann shook his head. "I don't feel anything."
Ever since the day she started cultivating the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, her soul had been growing. After countless days and nights of cultivation, her bones had long since become as hard as diamond. Not only was it difficult for external forces to damage them, even foreign energies were unable to seep into them.
Therefore … Whether it was absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth or taking elixirs. To her, it didn't have any effect. The only thing it strengthened was her body. Only by using flames to devour flesh and blood and refine white bones was her only path of cultivation.
The effects of the Water of Memory were naturally ineffective against her.
Li Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief. "I knew it. The effects of that woman's medicine aren't that good. Don't worry. You can slowly think about your memories."
Little Ann grunted softly and asked curiously, "That woman?"
"She's a messy woman. Don't worry about her. Come, take a look at my novel." Li Qingshan carried her onto his lap and showed her the manuscript that he had painstakingly copied.
Little Ann read very seriously and pointed out the 'strange' parts of the book from time to time. The so-called strange parts referred to the fact that wuxia novels were not acclimatized to this world. There were many problems with the usage of words and allusions.
Li Qingshan felt his head swell again. As it turned out, copying novels was not that easy. "What should I do?" He had not read many novels. It had only been one or two years since he left Crouching Ox village. His understanding of this world could not be considered deep.
Little Ann smiled. "I have an idea."
Liu Chuanfeng bit the tip of his pen, trying to guess just what this disciple of his had written.
Li Qingshan suddenly strode in. "Do you have a novel to read?"
Liu Chuanfeng said, "What do you want to read?"
Li Qingshan said, "Not yours. It's best if it's some famous and popular ones. The more the better."
"What's wrong with mine?" Liu Chuanfeng immediately refuted. He was no longer the master of Moon Breeze from before. He immediately took out a letter from his hundred treasures pouch. "Take a look. How did they praise me?"
Li Qingshan shot a glance at him, and Liu Chuanfeng took out a great pile of books from his hundred treasures pouch obediently. There were several hundred of them.
Li Qingshan picked them up and left. Liu Chuanfeng called out from behind, "Be careful. These are all prized copies."
His monk robes drifted about as the One Thought master arrived on Cloudwisp island silently. He arrived outside the bamboo building where Li Qingshan resided. His gaze pierced through the layers of bamboo and saw two figures, one large and one small, illuminated by a lone lantern.
Little Ann lay on the floor, reading. He flipped through the pages quickly, and over a dozen books had already piled up beside him.
Li Qingshan stood there as if he was thinking about something. He would twist his body from time to time and swing his fists and feet.
He was currently summarising and comprehending the gains and losses of the battle today. If he were to read a book, he would need to read seven out of ten pages. However, when he recalled the battle today, it was like a movie was playing through his head. He could clearly understand every single punch and kick. He could even clearly remember how he had defeated every single military disciple.
Gradually, the figures in the surroundings dimmed, and the expressions and figures of every single military disciple blurred. All that remained was a group of military disciples that seemed like matchsticks on the long flight of stairs, all rushing up.
He imitated their moves and how they exerted their strength. The lantern light projected his shadow onto the wall, moving quickly and forcefully in the narrow space.
One of them moved while the other remained still, but it formed a wondrous, warm atmosphere. The One Thought master found it strangely familiar. Only after quite a while of thought did he remember that this was the feeling of home.
In order to save some lamp oil, his mother would sew clothes under the moonlight, while he would swat away the fireflies in the courtyard.
The One Thought master dismissed these thoughts in a hurry and sighed silently. How was it possible for a monk to constantly think about the word "home"?
In the past few days, Li Qingshan's performance that completely exceeded regular cultivators had only made him worry more and more.
They were not related by blood. She was still young right now, but once she grew a few years older and developed those feelings, it would probably be even more difficult to sever them. It would be even more messy, and it would be even more difficult to sever them.
After hesitating for a moment, the One Thought master turned around and left. He had to make his fellow disciples enlighten her with the supreme truths of buddhism during this assembly of dharma so that she could sever her ties with the world.
The rustling of pages and the sounds of punches and kicks stopped one after another.
"I'm done." Li Qingshan sank his qi into his dantian and smiled. If the situation today repeated itself, he was confident he could achieve victory even more easily.
Little Ann smiled. "Let's begin!"
Under the lantern light, Li Qingshan wrote while Little Ann spoke. The two of them modified the novel bit by bit to make it more suitable for this era. Before they knew it, time passed by bit by bit.
