Chapter 357 - Enduring for the Time Being (1/2)

In the secret realm, Leng Jin Yu was still trying to find out more about Jing Yi's memory.

”Well, it is a memory of a past life. Naturally, it would feel real. Say, that dagger you saw was there something special about it?”

”Special?” Jing Yi frowned slightly and thought back to it. ”It was red. Completely red.”

”I see.”

Leng Jin Yu pondered but couldn't remember ever having heard of such a weapon. Neither in the mortal realm nor in the Nine Heavens. The color alone might be enough to have it identified though. He just needed to find someone who was more knowledgeable in this area than him. The God of War was probably a likely candidate to have such knowledge. He would ask him when he had an opportunity to return to the Nine Heavens for a while.

Meanwhile, Jing Yi's thoughts had already wandered back to the other memory he experienced. ”Senior Martial Brother Yu, actually, it's not what I saw today what bothers me. You have to know while staying in the Hei Dian Sect with Qiu Ling I ate one of the fruits of the Beguiling Night Tree without knowing what it was. I already saw something back then.”

”Something that makes you even more nervous?”

Jing Yi nodded. ”It was actually nothing much just that … it is a little difficult in my situation.”

Leng Jin Yu wasn't so stupid as to think that Jing Yi had figured out that he was a god undergoing his trial so his situation, in this case, could only either mean him being a spy in the demonic sect or his relationship with Qiu Ling. Since he already wasn't in the Hei Dian Sect anymore it would be strange if it was the former. That task didn't seem as important as his relationship anyway so …

”This is about Senior Martial Brother Qiu?”

Jing Yi nodded again. ”Yes. What I saw was … someone I was probably in love with in my previous life. It made me feel strange and I was a little worried that … it would somehow influence my relationship with Qiu Ling. He reacted quite well, so I'm probably worrying too much but still. I'd rather not remember any more than that. It might be a problem to what I have now and I don't want that. Qiu Ling and I are very happy.”

”I see.” Leng Jin Yu looked back at the window.

This would probably make a great love trial … He couldn't take any chances though. Getting a god undergoing his trial to remember something wasn't wise. Especially if the trial was such a serious issue like the one with the crown prince. As far as he understood this was his last chance to accomplish these trials or else he would have exceeded the limit given by Heaven. This really wasn't a situation where he could try things out.

”Well, the effect of the Fractured Crystal Leaf will run out as soon as the spiritual energy you took in from it runs out. So not absorbing anything more will solve most of the problem already. As for the bit you still have in your body …” He sighed. ”I'm sorry. There is nothing I can do. As far as I know, there is no way to dissolve it. A powerful alchemist might be able to do it but, well, it's not like we could find one here.”

”So I'll have to endure it.”

”Mn. I'm sorry about that.”

”There's no need. It was my own fault in the first place. I just shouldn't have picked it.”
