Yun Qishen

Chapter 2314 Vanished Memories and Time
The soft white smoke drifted gently through the gaps in the incense burner, carrying the fragrance of magnolia blossoms.

Mo Ruo blinked, then looked at Yun Qishen across the stone table and repeated the question he had just asked him, "What was the situation back then?"

Mo Ruo gently rubbed her chin. "Hmm... All I remember is that when we found Lang Qin, one of his souls had already been taken away, and he didn't remember anything. He had no ghost power, didn't know how to control ghosts, and had started to fear ghost beasts again."

Yun Qishen pressed further, "Then why did you go to see him back then?"

"So that he can go to class," Mo Ruo replied directly.

Mo Li sat down next to Mo Ruo and added some details, "After we found that Lang Qin had lost a part of his soul in the woods, we took him to find his grandfather, and then took him to class."

Mo Li paused, his calm gaze meeting Yun Qishen's golden eyes. "The Demon Lord is so curious about what happened back then. Did that strange scholar say something to you?"

Yun Qishen smiled warmly. "He told me about the characteristics of the Ghost Beast Banquet, as well as some stories about Mo Langqin's past."

"Mo Langqin's past stories?" Mo Ruo scoffed disdainfully. "Heh, what could that scholar possibly know? Demon Lord, you might as well ask me and Brother Mo Li! We grew up with Mo Langqin, after all."

Yun Qishen shifted his gaze from Mo Li to Mo Ruo, "Are you aware that Mo Langqin fled the Mo family with a ghost beast before releasing the Ghost Beast Feast?"

Mo Ruo sat up straight, her previously disdainful expression immediately turning into confusion. "When did he leave the Mo family before releasing the Ghost Beast Feast? Is that Night Moon Ghost Book just talking nonsense to you?"

"Ha, just as I expected." Yun Qishen chuckled lightly, unsurprised.

Mo Li's eyes widened slightly. He sensed the deeper meaning behind the soft laugh. "Demon Lord, are you saying that my memories and Mo Ruo's memories have been altered, and that the events in our memories are not complete? Because of the Ghost Beast Banquet's abilities?"

Mo Li's words completely surprised Yun Qishen, who couldn't help but applaud inwardly, "Oh! I'm really surprised, Mo Li, you're so smart. I haven't even said anything yet, and you can already guess what I want to say."

“Since this Night Moon Ghost Book wasn’t affected by the memory, then the memory loss must be a small-scale issue. Combining the ghostly energy barrier that remained around the Mo family and the hand bone mediums we have, I can guess the general idea.” Mo Li concluded, “Our entire Mo family lost a segment of time and memories related to Mo Langqin at a certain moment. And this must be related to the Ghost Beast Banquet.”

Before Yun Qishen's internal applause had even stopped, someone nearby actually started clapping.

Amidst the tinkling of silver bells, Night Moon Ghost Book approached, clapping and exclaiming in admiration, "Wow, so clever! This truly broadens the scholar's horizons!"

Mo Li shifted his gaze slightly, fixing it on Ye Yue Gui Shu behind Yun Qi Shen. "...You flatter me."

Night Moon Ghost Book stopped clapping, and slightly raised the finger with the red string attached, instructing the white spirits behind him to bring over a pot of drinks. "This scholar has prepared some jade dew to boost your stamina. Staying in the Upper Realm is very tiring, so please don't be shy." Yun Qishen subconsciously dodged the white spirits. Although he no longer screamed when he saw ghosts like before, he still had a certain aversion to getting close.

After the souls disappeared, Yun Qishen calmly poured out two cups of so-called jade dew and pushed them in front of Mo Li and Mo Ruo respectively. "Drink it. This can indeed improve your spirit and energy. I used to drink this often when I was in the Upper Realm. It also helps improve your ghost power."

"It's quite sweet!" Mo Ruo quickly drank the jade dew in one gulp. The taste was indeed good, and he immediately felt a sense of lightness in his body, but his ghost power did not seem to change.

Mo Li simply looked at Mo Ruo and sighed.

"What's wrong, Brother Mo Li? Why are you sighing?" Mo Ruo, I really don't know if he's reckless or naive, or maybe he's just naturally frank.

Mo Li shook his head and said nothing. Ye Yueguishu stood by the stone table with a smile, fanning himself with a landscape painting fan. "Your brother is reminding you to be vigilant."

"Oh," Mo Ruo responded, then poured herself another cup of Jade Dew to drink.

Mo Li dislikes the Night Moon Ghost Book, which can be seen from their interactions.

Mo Li is a person of calm temperament, and he is indifferent and friendly to everyone. Even when it comes to his family member Mo Ruo, his attitude will not change much.

But when he faced the Night Moon Ghost Book, a hint of impatience crept into his otherwise calm demeanor. "Demon Lord, I think we've stayed in the Upper Realm long enough. We should go down and continue searching for the Hand Bone medium."

"Hey~ young friend, aren't you curious about the time and memories of your disappearance?" Night Moon Ghost Book deliberately moved closer to Mo Li's side, pressing down on Mo Li's shoulder with his fan to prevent him from getting up.

Mo Li deliberately waved away the fan of the Night Moon Ghost Book, his brows furrowing slightly in displeasure.

Night Moon Ghost Book liked Mo Li's attitude. He smiled and shifted his gaze to Yun Qishen, "Demon Lord, you'd better tell them the truth. They definitely won't believe what the scholar says."

Yun Qishen seized the opportunity to tease, "After all, your words are full of scheming; you never know when you might put a noose around someone's neck."

"Ha~" Night Moon Ghost Book's fox eyes narrowed, even its laughter carried a hint of calculation.

Yun Qishen took a sip of jade dew to moisten his throat and said, "What Mo Li guessed was pretty much the same as what I said about the Night Moon Ghost Book, but what caused your memory loss and the disappearance of time was not the Ghost Beast Banquet, but Mo Langqin."
