Chapter 372 - I’m Not an Idiot (1/2)

Bai Fen didn't even want to think more closely about what could be important enough for Qiu Ling to let her wait. Normally he would jump at every opportunity to give her a good impression.

”It's alright. Listen —”

”Mother-in-law, have you decided to help me?” Qiu Ling winked at her. ”I knew you wouldn't just ignore Jing He's plight! So when will you send an ascended deity down to open the array?”

”Uh … That's not it.”

”Hah?” Qiu Ling was stunned. She hadn't contacted him to tell him that she would finally get Jing He out of that stupid secret realm? ”Then why did you …?”

”I need your help. See, Jing He started to remember his old life.”

”Really?”

Bai Fen sighed when she saw Qiu Ling's eyes light up. ”You know that this isn't a good thing. Jing He is still attempting his trial right now. If he remembers, it'll be troublesome.”

Qiu Ling pursed his lips. Alright, he could understand that. ”Then what do you want me to do? It's not like I can go in and tell him not to remember. Even if I wanted to do that, I still can't. After all, he's trapped in that secret realm.” His gaze said that this was obviously her fault for not lending her help.

The Heavenly Empress withstood the urge to curse him. For now. ”Look, I get that you're angry about that. But what was I supposed to do? Jing He has to do this trial. If he gets trapped in another dimension, then that is nothing I should interfere in.”

”But you want me to interfere now that he remembers.” Qiu Ling looked at her skeptically before hurriedly taking a glance at his surroundings. Mn, this talk with his mother-in-law would probably take quite a bit of time. He should make his way over to the palace in the meantime.

”That's not the same. Whether he in that dimension or not won't have much of an impact. But if he remembers that he was a god and finds out that he is only attempting a trial right now, that would render the whole trial pointless. Heaven won't accept that.

So I want you to help us make sure that he won't remember his real life. You also understand that that is necessary. Think about what happened with the soul-devouring dagger. You don't want him to be in danger again, do you?”

”No, of course not. So what do you want me to do?” Qiu Ling finally relented but still started to walk into the direction of the demon realm's royal palace. His mother-in-law might not think it was a good idea but he would get his beloved out of that special dimension! And that annoying Xin Lan would help him with that.

Bai Fen took a relieved sigh when Qiu Ling's attitude softened. She had really been afraid that he wouldn't agree. It wouldn't be impossible to have the boy drink the water of the river of forgetfulness but it would become more difficult. Especially if Qiu Ling even worked against them. Now, with his help, things would become a lot easier.
