Douluo: One man returns, Fan Tianyin smashes Tang San to death
Chapter 668 Embarking on the Return Journey
When Lu Yu read this, his heart moved.
He knew that Bai Chenxiang of the Min clan had participated in the Soul Master Elite Competition, and in that competition, she had crossed paths with the Shrek Seven Devils.
That "he",
Perhaps it was Ma Hongjun, the soul master famous for his Fire Phoenix spirit.
Lu Yu turned to look at Cheng Yufeng and said softly, "Chenxiang, take a look at these things. Do you remember anything?"
Cheng Yufeng took the paper and his eyes stayed on it for a long time.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and a misty shadow flashed in her eyes, as if something was surging in her mind, but she could not grasp it.
She whispered, "I...seem to have seen these words before, but I can't remember where.
This place... feels very familiar, but I can't really remember where it is."
Her voice was a little helpless, and Lu Yu's heart softened. He smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you can't remember it.
We are friends. No matter whether you are Bai Chenxiang or not, I will not leave you here.
If you want to leave, we can leave together."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yufeng looked up at Lu Yu, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.
She nodded gently and whispered, "Thank you, Lu Yu."
Bai He stood aside, looking at the two of them with complicated eyes.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Lu Yu turned his head and saw a middle-aged couple walking hurriedly towards him.
The woman was wearing a lavender dress, and her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Cheng Yufeng, and her eyes were full of excitement.
The man appeared calm, but his eyes were also fixed on Cheng Yufeng.
"Chenxiang!"
As soon as the woman saw Cheng Yufeng, she quickly stepped forward and shouted in a trembling voice.
Cheng Yufeng was stunned and subconsciously took a step back and hid behind Lu Yu.
Her eyes were full of strangeness, even a bit wary.
Seeing this, the woman paused and the excitement in her eyes was gradually replaced by loss.
The man stepped forward, bowed to Lu Yu, and said in a deep voice: "I am Bai Hao, a member of the Min clan. Thank you, Young Master Lu, for bringing Chenxiang back."
His voice was low, with a hint of gratitude, but also helplessness.
Lu Yu waved his hand and said calmly: "Mr. Bai, you are too polite.
However, Chenxiang's memory has not yet recovered, I'm afraid..."
He didn't continue, but Bai Hao obviously understood what he meant.
Bai Hao looked at Cheng Yufeng, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes.
He whispered, “Chenxiang’s memory was damaged due to the family’s secret method assessment.
Now she is a stranger to us, and I...as a father, I am really helpless."
His voice was choked. The woman next to him was already in tears, but she forced herself not to move forward.
Lu Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Memory cannot be forced.
Maybe time will allow her to recover slowly.
All we can do is try to make her feel at ease.”
He looked at Cheng Yufeng and saw that she lowered her head and remained silent, but he felt more determined in his heart.
He knew that Cheng Yufeng's memory might be related to the secret technique of the Min clan, and this secret technique might hide even deeper secrets.
Bai He sighed and said, "Young Master Lu is right.
It is a blessing that Chenxiang can come back.
What happens next can only come slowly."
He paused and looked at Lu Yu: “Young Master Lu, if you don’t mind, why don’t you stay in Qingquan City for a few more days.
Perhaps Chenxiang can regain some of his memories here."
Lu Yu nodded and glanced at Cheng Yufeng, seeing that she was still keeping her head down and silent.
He said softly, "Okay, let's stay here for a few more days.
Chenxiang, what do you think? "
Cheng Yufeng looked up, glanced at Lu Yu, then at Bai He and Bai Hao. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "Okay."
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the window lattice and falls on the floor of the room, casting a warm golden color.
Lu Yu stood by the window, looking at the city wall in the distance, but in his heart he was thinking about the "important matter" mentioned by Dai Mubai.
Lu Yu walked on the cobblestone road of the city where the Min clan lived. The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, shining on the green tile eaves on both sides of the street, reflecting a soft halo.
Cheng Yufeng beside her hesitated a little, her eyes wandering among the surrounding scenery, as if trying to find a trace of familiarity, but always with a bit of confusion.
The city is not big, but it is very lively. The streets and alleys are bustling with people. The shouts of vendors and the laughter of children are intertwined, forming a vivid picture.
Lu Yu deliberately slowed down his pace to give Cheng Yufeng more time to experience this city that she should be familiar with.
The Bai family's house is not luxurious, but it is tidy and warm.
As soon as he arrived at the Bai family, Bai Hao's sharp eyes fell on Lu Yu with a look of scrutiny.
"Xiao Yu, what is your relationship with our Chen Xiang?"
Bai Hao's voice was low, with a hint of tentativeness in his tone.
Lu Yu was slightly stunned, then smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Uncle Bai, you worry too much. Yufeng and I are just friends."
His frank tone and clear eyes eased the tension of Bai Hao and his wife a little.
Bai Hao's wife, Mrs. Bai, was busy in the kitchen preparing a table of Cheng Yufeng's favorite dishes from his childhood.
Steaming hot braised fish, fragrant osmanthus cake, and a bowl of clear soup with a few green chopped green onions floating in it, each dish has a strong taste of home.
When Madam Bai brought out the dish, her eyes were slightly red. She smiled and said to Cheng Yufeng, "Chenxiang, these are your favorite foods when you were a child. Try them and see if you can remember anything."
Cheng Yufeng looked down at the dishes on the table, her chopsticks trembling slightly between her fingers. She picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth, chewing it carefully, but her eyes gradually dimmed.
"It tastes very good... and it's very comforting." Cheng Yufeng's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible. She looked up at Bai Hao and his wife, her tone tinged with apology, "But I really... can't remember anything at all."
The Bai Hao couple looked at each other, a hint of disappointment flashed in their eyes, but it was quickly concealed.
Bai Hao coughed dryly and forced a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. Take your time. It's the best thing that you can come back."
The atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment. Seeing this, Lu Yu patted Cheng Yufeng's shoulder gently, and said to Bai Hao and his wife with a smile: "Two seniors, Yufeng is fine now, which is more important than anything else.
Memories, if you take your time, will eventually come back to you."
After dinner, Lu Yu took Cheng Yufeng for a stroll in the city.
Although the city is small, the streets are laid out in an orderly manner. The soul masters guarding the city walls are all calm and composed, and it is obvious that they are quite powerful.
The streets are bustling with people and shops are lined up one after another. Occasionally, you can see a few people wearing Spirit Hall uniforms walking through the crowd, selling some rare soul beast materials.
Cheng Yufeng frowned and whispered to Lu Yu, "Didn't you say that your friend doesn't have a good relationship with the Spirit Empire? Why are the people here so... friendly towards the Spirit Hall?"
There was a hint of doubt in her tone, and her eyes swept over a Spirit Hall soul master who was bargaining with a vendor not far away.
Lu Yu followed her gaze and nodded thoughtfully, but did not say much. He just said lightly: "This is the business of the Min family. It has nothing to do with us."
He paused, turned to look at Cheng Yufeng, and asked gently, "How is it? Did you remember anything?"
Cheng Yufeng shook his head, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "I can't remember anything at all... This city, the streets here, and the people of the Bai family, they all seem completely unfamiliar to me."
Her voice was low, with a hint of imperceptible loss.
Lu Yu did not ask any more questions, but just silently accompanied her and continued forward.
At the end of the street is a pub with a wooden sign hanging on the door that reads "Qingfeng Zui"
Three words.
Cheng Yufeng stopped, looked up, and suddenly said, "Let's go in and sit down. I want... to be quiet for a while."
Lu Yu nodded, took her into the tavern, and chose a box by the window.
The light in the box is soft, and outside the window is the bustling crowd on the street. Through the wooden window, it seems to be isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
After sitting down, Cheng Yufeng's eyes fell on a small lamp on the table. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Lu Yu, do you... hate me a little?"
Her voice was so low that she almost sounded like she was talking to herself, with a hint of uneasiness.
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "How could that be? You're overthinking it."
Cheng Yufeng didn't smile. She looked up at Lu Yu with a bit of stubbornness in her eyes: "Then why are you so good to Meng Yiran and willing to let her stay with you, but you want me to stay in this strange place? I... I can't accept it."
Lu Yu was slightly startled, realizing that Cheng Yufeng's uneasiness was far deeper than he had imagined.
He rubbed his brows and said seriously, "Yufeng, I never thought of leaving you here.
You lost your memory and faced so many unfamiliar things alone. I know you must be feeling bad."
He paused, looking at her firmly, "I promise you, if your memory really can't be restored, I will take you away and will never let you stay here alone."
Cheng Yufeng was stunned for a moment, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he was relieved and a little moved.
She whispered, "Thank you, Lu Yu."
The atmosphere in the box relaxed. Lu Yu smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but his eyes drifted to the window unconsciously. In his heart, he was thinking about what Cheng Yufeng had just mentioned - why did she care so much about Meng Yiran's treatment? Could it be that she really... Lu Yu shook his head, thinking that he might be overthinking.
In the next few days, Lu Yu arranged for Cheng Yufeng to move back into the room she had lived in as a child in the Bai family.
The room is not big, but it is decorated warmly and elegantly. The bookshelf in the corner is filled with books she loved to read as a child. There is also an exquisitely carved wooden box at the head of the bed. According to Mrs. Bai, it was made by Cheng Yufeng himself when he was a child.
Lu Yu hoped that these familiar objects could awaken some of her memories, but after a few days, Cheng Yufeng's condition had not changed much.
Occasionally, she would stand in front of the window, staring blankly at the old locust tree in the yard, her eyes empty, as if she was trying to catch a fleeting fragment in her mind, but always to no avail.
One morning, Cheng Yufeng was walking in the courtyard when he suddenly mentioned something to Lu Yu: "Yesterday I looked through some old letters from the Bai family, and they mentioned the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition two years ago... I have a feeling that the person mentioned there might be you."
There was some hesitation in her tone, but her eyes were looking straight at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and felt confused.
The Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament? That was the competition he participated in with his friends from Shrek Academy, but he remembered that Bai Chenxiang—now Cheng Yufeng—seemed to be more inclined towards Ma Hongjun at the time, and there were even rumors that she had a crush on him.
But Ma Hongjun didn't directly participate in the game, so why did she think she was the person in the letter? Lu Yu rubbed his temples and decided to go back to Ma Hongjun to ask for clarification, so as not to be confused and "dig away someone's future wife"
Corner.
He smiled and said to Cheng Yufeng, "Maybe you remembered it wrongly. I'll ask about that game for you later."
Cheng Yufeng nodded, but didn't say anything more. He just lowered his head and continued walking, unconsciously stroking a jade pendant he found in the room.
A few days later, after discussing with the Bai couple, Lu Yu decided to take Cheng Yufeng away.
Bai He, as the patriarch of the Min clan, personally escorted the two to the city gate.
He patted Lu Yu's shoulder and said solemnly: "Xiao Yu, I'll ask you to take care of Chenxiang.
As elders, we feel bad about her being like this."
Lu Yu nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, Senior Bai, Yufeng is my friend. If you need me, I will never stand idly by."
When Bai He heard this, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. He patted his shoulder and turned to look at Cheng Yufeng, his eyes full of reluctance.
Cheng Yufeng stood at the city gate and looked back at this strange city. A few vague images seemed to flash through his mind - a girl was laughing under a locust tree, holding a kite in her hand, but the picture was fleeting, leaving only a slight headache.
She rubbed her temples and whispered, "Let's go."
Lu Yu nodded and took her on the return journey.
Before leaving, they met Dai Mubai outside the city.
Dai Mubai had been dealing with some matters related to the Xingluo Empire recently, and there was a hint of fatigue between his brows, but when he saw Lu Yu, he still showed a familiar smile: "Lu Yu, where have you been recently?"
Lu Yu smiled and was about to say hello when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves in the distance.
Ma Hongjun arrived, exhausted, his face filled with anxiety. Before Lu Yu could speak, he gasped, "Lu Yu! Big news! The brothers in charge of monitoring the eastern sea area sent back news. They... they saw Wang Sheng!"
Hearing this, Lu Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he almost subconsciously took a step forward and asked urgently: "Wang Sheng? Where is he? What's the situation? Tell me quickly!"
There was an unconcealable excitement in his voice, and a complex light flashed in his eyes.
Ma Hongjun waved his hand, signaling him to calm down, and after taking a breath, he said, "The specific situation is still unclear, but the news is reliable.
They saw him on a small island in the eastern waters, with a few other people around him, and his whereabouts were very secretive.
I need to go back and confirm the details! (End of Chapter)
