"But what could he do, even if he was already a husband? She remembered all the efforts she had put forth in this past year. Previously, men were not particularly passionate towards her, yet they never really rejected her. Her desire for his heart remains unchanged to this day, but because of that purple-clad woman today, he had publicly humiliated her. She felt both shameful indignation and some annoyance. Her eyes flashed briefly as she clenched her hand. A vibrant smile that seemed at odds with her delicate appearance played upon her lips. She slowly lowered her gaze, as if silently calculating something. Tie Yi arranged accommodations for Dong Huiying and Shu Yu next to the Bell Tower. During the night, Shu Yu sat cross-legged beside a low table, lightly stroking the strings of the guqin placed upon it. The sound of the zither, like mountains and flowing water, wafted serenely into the distance. Dong Huiying sat beside her, reflecting on everything that had happened today, when she suddenly sighed. "Mind-Bewitching Gu, Mind-Bewitching Gu..." Back when she was in The Outside, she and Liu Yi had made a deal. Afterwards, Liu Yi told her that Zhi Chen’s memory loss was probably due to the Child Gu of Mind-Bewitching Gu. Before the Child Gu was rendered ineffective by Zhi Chen’s method of fighting poison with poison, the two toxins had merged into a new type of emotion poison. The Mind-Bewitching Gu primarily targeted the heart, able to control people’s emotions. Even two strangers, once infected, could fall in love so deeply that life without the other seemed unbearable. But the Child Gu had been destroyed, and the poison used by Zhi Chen had caused the Child Gu to mutate just before its demise, leading to his memory loss. And what he lost was more than just his memory. His emotions as well—whether familial love, romantic love, or friendship. Now, he seemed to be someone who cared about nothing, wildly capricious, even towards people like Tie Yi who had followed him all these years. He probably didn’t care much for them in his heart. He had become very cold-blooded. It is because of emotions that one is called human, so what then, is the current Zhi Chen? Without emotions, even without a heart, yet subconsciously searching, as if wandering lost, looking for something. But what that thing was, not even he had a clear direction. Shu Yu’s zither music suddenly stopped, "Long sighs and short laments really disturb one’s peace." He glanced at Dong Huiying and abruptly stood up, "Big Brother has protected me thoroughly for over twenty years, all I need is to shamelessly depend on him, and he is helpless." Looking at this man, who had a face full of fairy aura but had just done the shameless act of scamming during the day, Dong Huiying couldn’t help but laugh and cry. "That was luck. When we were at the Golden Triangle, Lao Si was severely injured by him. Speaking of which... I’m also very curious about where all his abilities come from?" She also recalled the man leaping out of the window today. He was dozens of meters above the ground and he landed unharmed. She thought of Su Lang from Black Wind Camp who was skilled in internal martial arts. Could Zhi Chen also have learned qinggong? "There have always been many strange people and occurrences in this world, he might have had some extraordinary encounters." Dong Huiying pondered, and at that moment—"Stop right there!" She halted Shu Yu while swiftly getting up, her movement almost lightning-fast, as a colorful butterfly flew out from her sleeve. The butterfly was quick, darting behind Shu Yu, while Dong Huiying firmly hugged Shu Yu, using her own body as a human shield. Shu Yu looked down at her, Dong Huiying swallowed hard, and turned to look at the colorful butterfly. Xiao Hua fluttered its wings towards them, the butterfly’s mouth seemed to be carrying something—seeing this, Dong Huiying’s expression turned sharp.
