Chapter 350 - Another Past Life? (1/2)

Jing Yi observed Yu Jin's face and couldn't help but feel guilty. Now that Yu Jin had said that he had been searching for this herb he felt like just casually plucking it and absorbing its spiritual energy was even worse. He shouldn't have done that. He should have shown it to him first.

Maybe five leaves would still be alright if he hadn't absorbed part of the spiritual energy in it. After all, that was better than nothing, right? He could have remembered at least part of his past life and maybe found the person he was searching for. Most likely he was feeling very dispirited right now.

”I'm sorry.”

Leng Jin Yu looked up in surprise without knowing what to say for a moment. In the end, he smiled. ”It's alright. I guess it just wasn't the time for me to remember yet. Let's talk about you instead. Why don't you want to know about your past life? Is it really only because you're happy with your current life? Or does it have to do with what you saw just now? You seemed a little … out of sorts after waking up.”

Jing Yi lowered his head. He really didn't know what to say. ”It's … a little complicated.”

”We're trapped in a secret realm without knowing how to get out. There's really nothing we have more of than time.”

Jing Yi laughed. It was obvious Yu Jin was trying to cheer him up. He had been doing that the whole time since they were forced to enter the secret realm. He really was an unexpectedly nice person despite how unapproachable he had looked in the beginning. ”The thing I remembered just now actually wasn't … that bad. It hurt but … it's something I can live with.”

”It hurt?” Leng Jin Yu wasn't really surprised. With just one look at how Jing Yi had curled up and how pale his face had become, it was obvious that he had been suffering a lot. He was a little astonished that Jing Yi could just say that it was alright though.

Jing Yi nodded. ”Yes. I'm actually not sure what I saw. Everything was dark at first but I was hurting terribly. After that, I woke up in a foreign room, holding a dagger. I placed it on an altar and then left. I don't know what that could be about.”

Leng Jin Yu furrowed his brow. A dagger? An altar? That was strange. As far as he knew the Son of Heaven had grown up quite sheltered. When could he have come into contact with a weapon? Maybe in the wake of a ritual? But that couldn't be true either. In that case, he shouldn't have been hurt. Something like that certainly would have created waves in the Nine Heavens. And even though he had only lived about two weeks in the Nine Heavens after his ascension he had heard about a lot of things already. Something like that certainly would have been brought up, too. Just what had Jing Yi remembered?

”The strangest thing was what I felt though. It seemed … so real.”
