Chapter 375 - He Plucked His Flower (1/2)

Qiu Ling tried to be as slow as he could about bringing Xin Lan to the Leyuan region. He still hoped that maybe his mother-in-law would try to contact him again and that the gods might get involved then and that he would have time to warn the old geezer while still not having to endanger Jing He's life.

Well, he certainly wouldn't have delayed like this had he known that he was, in fact, already racing against time. Now, it really was questionable if he would be able to free Jing Yi from the secret realm in time to prevent what could only be called a disaster.

Since the time in the demon realm flowed differently from that in the human and the secret realm a few weeks had already gone by when Qiu Ling returned. Never mind the injured disciples that had already been taken back to the Yun Zou Sect, naturally, this was also enough time for Jing Yi and Leng Jin Yu in the secret realm to put their plan into action.

By the time Qiu Ling and Xin Lan arrived at the array that marked the point where the secret realm would open Jing Yi had long entered his inner self. In fact, he had already stumbled upon the place he was searching for.

Jing Yi looked up at the gates of the palace and couldn't help but frown. This place looked slightly familiar although he was sure that he had never been here in this life. Most likely this should be a place he had frequented a lot in his past life.

”This probably is the place where I can find my memories …” He slowly walked toward the gates.

He didn't know how long exactly he had been in his inner self now but it was probably about two weeks. Thanks to the time he had spent in Qiu Ling's inner self back then he had felt that the inner self was a scary place where you'd need to watch every step you took.

Surprisingly, his inner self had turned out to be completely different: There was the hut he had lived in when he was a child, the teahouse in the capital and the streets where he had played with Xiao Dong, even the Yun Zou Sect and that house in the Hei Dian Sect where he had lived with Qiu Ling were there.

Nothing of this was scary. Quite the contrary, he felt happy when he saw these things. All these were memories he was fond of. It really spoke volumes about how different the life he had led was from Qiu Ling's. It turned out … his fiance hadn't really had any memories he wanted to remember.

Well, nothing besides that one person he had dearly loved.

Jing Yi shook his head. He himself had obviously been very much in love with another man in a previous life. It wasn't exactly the same as the situation with Qiu Ling and that Jing He but it could probably be compared now that he remembered.

So, he didn't have to worry. That person could only be regarded as a fond memory. Nothing more, nothing less.
