Yun Chuan's amnesia was something Li Beifei and the others had never imagined. Even falling under a heavenly tribulation seemed more plausible than losing his memory.
At Xu Jiaojiao's generous invitation, everyone sat around a large round table laden with fragrant dishes. Even the exceptionally skilled chefs, Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran, were quite surprised.
Yun Chuan had been at Sword Sect for no more than ten years since losing his memory, which meant that Xu Jiaojiao had only been learning to cook for a few years at most. Achieving such culinary skills in just a few years wasn't something that could be done with talent alone.
Without dedicated effort, she simply couldn't have reached her current level.
"Jiaojiao went to the Heavenly Sword Dynasty and hired a royal chef to study with for three years," Yu Bingqing said with a smile, watching the still-busy figure in the kitchen through the window.
"That's great," Li Beifei replied, smiling.
Xu Jiaojiao's transformation was, to Li Beifei, a welcome change. Otherwise, he couldn't have handled her teasing him all the time as she used to.
Thinking about it, he should be thanking Yun Chuan.
Because Xu Jiaojiao was utterly obsessed with appearances. She used to say she wanted to marry him because he was handsome, but to be honest, Yun Chuan's looks were indeed slightly better than his.
Yun Chuan's beauty could only be described as exquisite, something he couldn't compare to.
Adding to that his silver hair, ethereal and otherworldly, Li Beifei even suspected that Xiaoyue Fairy's frequent interactions with Yun Chuan had led to aesthetic fatigue, causing her to fall for Qin Shaoshang, that hulking brute.
That brute got lucky.
Li Beifei thought fiercely in his heart.
Soon, Xu Jiaojiao brought out the remaining dishes. Wearing an apron, she looked like a newlywed, smiling as she said, "Don't be shy, just start eating. I'll go call A'Yun."
A'Yun was the name Yun Chuan went by now, given to him by Xu Jiaojiao.
In Xu Jiaojiao's opinion, even after losing his memory, Yun Chuan was still like the white clouds in the sky, drifting freely and unrestrained.
Watching Xu Jiaojiao's figure disappear from the courtyard, Mu Qingyi suddenly said, "What will Jiaojiao do if Yun Chuan's memory returns?"
Everyone was at a loss for words.
Even memories from a past life could be awakened, let alone memories from this one.
Yun Chuan's strength wasn't low to begin with, and he only lost his memory after encountering some misfortune. This was just a temporary loss of memory, and he might recover it tomorrow.
If Yun Chuan's memory returned, Xu Jiaojiao would ultimately be the one hurt, knowing what they knew about Yun Chuan.
"How about we take advantage of the present and beat him into permanent amnesia?" Liu Yuran suddenly suggested.
"That's not a bad idea," Li Beifei said, nodding seriously.
"Let's go now!" Mu Qingyi added.
"Agreed!" Liu Yanran raised her hand in support.
Upon hearing this, Duan Fei cautiously said, "Wouldn't that be too cruel? Besides, what if we can't control our strength and accidentally kill him? How would we explain that to Jiaojiao?"
"Isn't that what we have you for? Array Master!" Li Beifei patted him on the shoulder.
"Then let me think of a way, let me think..." Duan Fei said, seriously pondering.
"You're not serious, are you?" Li Beifei asked, surprised, looking at him.
Duan Fei said, "Aren't you guys serious?"
"Of course not!"
The one husband and three wives shook their heads in unison.
"I..." Duan Fei was speechless. They were bullying him!
Yu Bingqing watched the Sect Leader and the three Sect Leader's wives teasing the Vice Sect Leader. Even she, who rarely smiled, had a slight upturn at the corner of her lips.
"Jiaojiao is no longer a child. Some things, she needs to face herself," Yu Bingqing said.
"That's true."
Seeing Yu Bingqing say that, the others stopped overthinking it. She was Xu Jiaojiao's master and knew her better than they did.
Since she wasn't worried, they naturally didn't need to worry too much either.
Just then, Xu Jiaojiao returned with Yun Chuan, enthusiastically introducing Li Beifei and the others to him.
"This is our Sect Leader, Li Beifei. The three beauties sitting to his left are his Dao companions, also known as the Sect Leader's wives of our Seven Star Sword Sect. These are Yi Jifeng and Duanmu Yun, Li Beifei's disciples, um..."
When introducing Yi Yi, Xu Jiaojiao paused, a slightly awkward expression on her face.
"My name is Yi Yi," the little girl promptly introduced herself in a crisp voice.
Yun Chuan nodded with a smile, saying, "Hello, I'm A'Yun."
The current Yun Chuan was polite and well-mannered, a complete contrast to his previous arrogant self.
"Don't be so polite, sit down," Li Beifei nodded lightly.
After Xu Jiaojiao and Yun Chuan sat down, Xu Jiaojiao enthusiastically began to serve Yun Chuan food.
"A'Yun, this is a new dish I learned, called True Dragon Fire Phoenix. Try it."
The so-called True Dragon Fire Phoenix naturally couldn't use the meat of true dragons and phoenixes, but rather that of flood dragons and spiritual birds, a rather exaggerated metaphor.
Some ordinary places even called common foods like pork, chicken, and duck "dragon meat."
"Thank you!" Yun Chuan said.
"What are you thanking me for? Quickly try it and see if it's good," Xu Jiaojiao looked at Yun Chuan with anticipation.
Yun Chuan didn't stand on ceremony, as this had been going on for several years. At first, he found it difficult to accept Xu Jiaojiao's enthusiasm, but as time passed, he had gradually grown accustomed to it.
He put the meat in his bowl into his mouth and slowly chewed it. Seeing this, Xu Jiaojiao quickly asked, "How is it?"
"Delicious!" Yun Chuan nodded.
"Yay!"
The simple word "delicious" seemed to be the most wonderful praise in the world, making Xu Jiaojiao overjoyed, her smile even brighter.
"Cough cough!"
Yu Bingqing looked at the two of them and couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she spoke up to remind them.
Who knew that Xu Jiaojiao would ask, "Master, what's wrong?"
"..." Yu Bingqing.
Forget it, let them be!
Yu Bingqing had no choice but to give Li Beifei and the others an apologetic look.
Li Beifei and the others didn't mind. Not only did they not mind, but Liu Yuran also watched Xu Jiaojiao and Yun Chuan with great interest, as if the two of them were more delicious than the delicacies on the table.
"Eat!" Li Beifei put a piece of meat in her bowl.
"Oh, oh!" Liu Yuran came back to her senses. Although she was eating, her eyes still didn't leave the two of them.
Seeing this, Li Beifei shook his head helplessly. That girl had read too much *Spring and Autumn*, and now that she was seeing this amnesia drama play out in real life, how could she not be interested?
After a few rounds of drinks and a taste of all the dishes, Li Beifei and the others didn't stay at Yuqing Peak for long.
However, they didn't notice the strange glint in Yun Chuan's eyes as they left.
"A'Yun, what's wrong?" Xu Jiaojiao had been paying attention to Yun Chuan and noticed his strange behavior, so she asked with concern.
Yun Chuan seemed not to hear her. Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but call out twice more before Yun Chuan finally came back to his senses.
"It's nothing!" he said softly.
"It's good if it's nothing. I'll go tidy up first, and then we'll go watch the sunset together," Xu Jiaojiao said, turning and entering the courtyard to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
At this moment, Xu Jiaojiao really seemed like a little wife.
Yun Chuan looked at Xu Jiaojiao's petite but graceful figure, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
After a person loses their memory, there are other ways to restore it besides naturally waiting for the brain to repair its memory function.
Meeting people they used to know is one of them.
The moment he saw Li Beifei, Yun Chuan had already recovered his memory, but he didn't reveal anything.
But at this moment, his mood was very complicated. Originally, given his relationship with Li Beifei, even if they weren't great enemies, they couldn't possibly become friends.
But now, their relationship had become subtle.
The Dao of Heaven was indeed ever-changing.
