I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

What's worse is that such a tragic betrayal dealt a severe blow to her spirit.

Now that the sword's heart is broken, even if the body fully recovers, its strength will be much less than before.

The invincible Red Kite Immortal no longer exists after all.

"Ye Ming, although I already owe you a lot, I still have one thing I want to ask of you."

"Don't be so polite, just say it."

"In the Taoist temple on Mount Taixu, there is an unnamed scroll that I failed to take with me before I left. I wonder... can you help me find it?"

"This one……"

Ye Ming was in a dilemma. It was not that he was unwilling to help Fu Hua, but this matter was really difficult to handle.

"Your Taoist temple has been reduced to rubble in the previous battle. The scrolls placed inside are probably also destroyed."

"I placed the scroll in a fine iron box. It is not easily destroyed. It should be buried under the ruins now."

"Fine iron box... What scroll is so important to you?"

Ye Ming guessed: "What kind of secret martial arts is this? The secret of Taixu Sword Qi?"

Fu Hua shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with martial arts, and has no value to the world."

Ye Ming asked curiously: "If that's the case, then why bother to find it back?"

Even though it was protected by the fine iron box and was not damaged, the top of Taixu Mountain was flattened. Not only did the Taoist temple become a ruin, but even the bricks, stones and earth were plowed up.

It would be troublesome to find a small scroll.

"It's important to me."

Fu Hua put her hand on her chest, as if to confirm this in her heart.

"I know I owe you a lot, and I don't have the ability to repay you right now, but..."

Fu Hua, who had never experienced such a predicament, looked more pitiful than ever before, as if she had returned to the confused and helpless time when she was 16 years old.

"I hope you can help me get it back."

In fact, it won’t take long. Once Fu Hua recovers, she can go find him herself.

Begging Ye Ming like this meant that she was very anxious and didn't even want to wait for another day.

"I understand. You wait here, I'll be back when it gets dark."

Ye Ming didn't know what that thing meant to Fu Hua, but he could see obvious anxiety and panic in her expression.

What was she afraid of? Was she afraid that the scroll was lost? But why wasn't she so anxious before?

"Speaking of which, I have to hurry up."

In order to take care of Fu Hua, he has stayed at the current time node for too long and is about to reach his limit.

Before leaving, I hope to help Fu Hua find what she wants.

247. If life could only be like the first time we met

The searching process was unexpectedly not difficult. It took only about five days for Ye Ming to find the deformed iron box from the flattened hill.

It was also thanks to his ability to manipulate rock elements and use rock pillars to "support" part of the ruins, saving the effort of digging.

"Fu Hua, I brought it here for you."

"Thank you."

After getting the iron box, Fu Hua took out the scroll inside, and after carefully reading the contents, a smile of satisfaction appeared on her face.

It was neither the sudden enlightenment after learning the truth nor the sudden enlightenment after acquiring new knowledge.

That peaceful and gentle expression was like reviewing an old and beautiful story, and there was also a kind of...

The sense of peace of mind that comes from “verifying that I did not remember it wrongly by comparing it with objective records.”

Ye Ming recognized that relieved expression. When he was checking answers after an exam, if he remembered the knowledge points correctly, he would have the same expression as Fu Hua.

"Woo..."

But this feeling of being just one step away from happiness did not last long.

After reading the contents of the scroll, Fu Hua looked at Ye Ming again, her eyes full of anxiety and sadness.

"What's written on it?"

Watching Fu Hua's subtle and changeable expressions, Ye Ming's curiosity was completely aroused.

What kind of secret book could make the Red Kite Immortal's mood fluctuate so much?

"Nothing, just some trivia."

After a brief explanation, Fu Hua asked again:

"How long has it been since you rescued me?"

"This... I didn't count carefully, a few months?"

It’s not that Ye Ming doesn’t want to remember, but his concept of time has become completely confused.

"Really."

Fu Hua's voice sounded full of loss, as if she had realized something and there was nothing she could do.

"I'm sorry I couldn't get along with you properly."

"Ok?"

Ye Ming didn't quite understand what Fu Hua meant, and didn't even understand why she apologized.

"Right now, I can't do anything except rest. I can't even... say goodbye to you properly."

"How did you know I was going to say goodbye to you?"

Ye Ming widened his eyes in astonishment. He really couldn't stay for a few more days, but he had never mentioned this matter in front of Fu Hua.

"..."

Fu Hua didn't explain anything. She didn't want to hide anything, but at the moment, she had something more important to know.

"Can we... meet again?"

"!!"

This was another statement that Ye Ming had not expected.

In the thousands of reunions that had passed, Fu Hua had never asked herself this question.

But just when Ye Ming was about to ask about the whole story, he saw Fu Hua's sad and helpless expression.

At that moment, he probably understood that Fu Hua at this moment was different from any time before.

The person who had been his disciple since childhood and had grown up under his watch, betrayed him and even wanted to kill him, and almost succeeded.

Such a blow is too heavy both physically and mentally.

The unprecedented changes were enough to make Fu Hua show unprecedented vulnerability.

"We will meet again, for sure."

Seeing the other party's broken body and mind, Ye Ming didn't want to ask any more questions, but just comforted him softly:

"You have to take care of yourself while I'm away."

It was getting late, and Ye Ming stopped disturbing Fu Hua. She was in the recovery period and was very sleepy. She fell into a deep sleep not long after.

"..."

Just as Ye Ming was about to leave, he saw the scroll beside Fu Hua's pillow.

Fu Hua almost fell asleep holding the scroll, but she was afraid that the scroll would be crushed by her body before going to sleep, so she placed it beside the bed.

"It's so precious, what on earth did you write on it?"

Thinking of this, Ye Ming quietly pulled out the scroll, placed it on the table and spread it out bit by bit.

However, the first line of words made his eyes tremble. The more he read, the more rapid Ye Ming's breathing became.

"The contents recorded in the dossier are all based on experience. If there are no major changes, please update it when you leave so that you can read it next time."

This is the opening preface, followed by the main text:

"If one day in the future you can still meet that boy with black hair and black eyes who calls himself Ye Ming, please treat him well."

"You won't have any memories about him, just like you have lost many memories, so don't panic, Ye Ming is not a stranger."

"He is your important companion. There is no need to doubt or be on guard. This has been verified."

"He seems to be ageless just like you. Whenever we meet, he always looks like a handsome young man, so he is easy to recognize."

From this we can see that each line of text in the scroll was not written at the same time, but spanned a period of time.

For example, in the first sentence of the text, Fu Hua was not sure whether she could meet Ye Ming again, but in the fourth sentence, she had already concluded that the other party's appearance remained almost unchanged.

This is obviously the experience summarized after many reunions.

"Don't record any feelings for him here, otherwise every time you forget it, it will no longer have any meaning."

"■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■"

The next line of text has traces of being smudged, and an explanation is added later:

"The smeared areas are because I did not follow the rules I set before and tried to record my feelings when I was with Ye Ming."

"But when I read it again, the blank memory and the written record contradicted each other. Not only did I not recall anything, but I also felt more troubled and confused."

"This is a major hazard to the fulfillment of the mission, and also a major taboo that destroys the state of mind. It must not be repeated."

“Try to record some details of your life. When you meet again, you will save time getting to know him and be able to get closer to him faster.”

"Don't worry, just boldly enhance your relationship. When we part, as long as you seal up the memories of Ye Ming, you won't feel the pain of missing him."

"Of course, you can't record the feelings involved, just remember..."

"Ye Ming is greedy and likes to eat meat, so you can buy more and increase the seasoning a little."

"When it's getting warmer or colder, his clothes are always messy and he likes to kick off the quilt. Pay more attention to him."

"He seems to have been injured all the time. If conditions permit, use more tonics."

"The prescription that I have been thinking about can be used on Ye Ming."

"Ye Ming always stays awake at night and does not get up during the day, and his day and night are reversed. You can remind him. If he does not obey, let him rest and do not disturb him."

"His health is not good. He may not have much time left, so please cherish him."

There were two places in the previous chapter where the names of Qin Suyi and Cheng Lingshuang were confused, which have been corrected.

The one with extraordinary talent and who fought with Ye Ming to the end was Cheng Lingshuang, while the one who still had a conscience and had no intention of fighting was Qin Suyi.

248. No past, but looking forward to the future

After reading to the end, Ye Ming completely understood.

Why is it that the more times we meet again (first time), the faster Fu Hua becomes familiar with me.

Why do I have to start from the beginning every time, but I can feel that the starting point of my acquaintance with Fu Hua is gradually getting closer.

Why is it always so pleasant to get along with Fu Hua, as if she can easily become my confidant.

How did she know that we would meet again...

It turns out that everything was recorded in this scroll.

"No wonder you completely forget about me when we haven't seen each other for just a few years."

As Fu Hua gets to know him more and more, with each encounter, they get into each other's hearts faster and faster.

So that every time spent together will cultivate a deeper and deeper relationship.

Cang Xuan once said: For a person who has to go through a long life, longing is the most terrible poison.

In order to prevent the pain of missing someone during separation from hampering her mission, Fu Hua had to further seal her memories.
