"It's not that I don't want to tell you."
Sheng Yuan used his shaking hand to support his forehead, trying his best to make his voice less trembling.
"Ever since I first met you and your daughter, some vague memories have popped up in my mind from time to time. At first, I didn't know why and thought they were memories from my past life. But now, if those memories happened in this life, how could I forget them? After thinking about it, the problem may have been caused by the confusion I experienced when I was recovering from a serious injury ten years ago. But no matter how confused I was, I shouldn't have lost my memory. There may be another hidden reason.
Zhou Li, give me some time, I will find a way to restore those blurred memories, and I will repay you and your daughter for what I owe you."
At this time, Sheng Yuan looked serious and made a promise very solemnly.
But Zhou Li's face remained expressionless. Only when he heard him say that he had just recovered from a serious injury, had gone through a period of confusion, and had lost some memory, did he tilt his head suspiciously and look at him carefully.
But this man has no other good points, except that he can't hide his true feelings on his face.
Zhou Li had lived with him as a couple for several years and understood his nature. Seeing that he did not seem to be lying, she hesitated for a moment and could only sigh helplessly.
"So this is the truth." She nodded gently, and the expression on her face relaxed, as if she had put her mind at ease.
Although I didn't expect that the answer I had always wanted was so simple, as long as I heard the reason with my own ears, the obsession in my heart was dissipated.
As for how Sheng Yuan lost his memory, how he was seriously injured, and why he entered a period of confusion after recovering from his injuries, these were Sheng Yuan's own business and had nothing to do with the answers Zhou Li wanted, so she didn't want to ask more.
"Well now, I've heard the answer. You and my daughter will have no further contact from now on. If there's nothing else to do, you should avoid meeting each other in the future to avoid an awkward atmosphere. Also, there's no need to mention making amends or repayments. Some things have already happened, so there's no need to make amends. It's meaningless. Besides, we're living a good life now. Not disturbing you is the best way to make up for it."
Zhou Li's carefully organized words finally came in handy. She finished speaking without taking a breath. She even wanted to give herself a thumbs up.
She felt relieved now that her worries were gone. She brushed off the non-existent dirt on her dress, as if brushing off the worries that had troubled her for years. The depressed look on Zhou Li's face disappeared, and she put on a beautiful smile again.
But just as she turned to leave, she suddenly heard a suppressed groan of pain from behind her, followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
Zhou Li frowned and turned around. As expected, Sheng Yuan was covering his chest and collapsed with a painful look on his face.
"It's great to be young, just fall asleep."
She was stunned for a moment, then she smiled, sighed, and walked away.
Zhou Ling, who was still standing in front of the makeshift stall waiting to pay, noticed movement at the door of the guest room. She looked up and saw her mother coming out alone.
It’s just a small problem. Maybe Senior Sheng is lagging behind.
Zhou Ling was calm and took out the spirit stones he needed to pay.
Can……
The bag of spirit stones is a bit heavy. After holding it in my hand for a long time, the edges and corners of the spirit stones feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Mom, what is Senior Sheng doing in there? Why hasn't he come out yet?"
Zhou Ling was getting really impatient and turned to ask her mother.
"Asleep, on the ground." Zhou Li, whose mind was as calm as water, was no longer tense, and his speech returned to a simple mode.
"Hmm... Hmm???" Zhou Lichu didn't think anything of it, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.
Didn't they go to have a conversation? Who would suddenly fall asleep when they were having a serious conversation? That would be fine, but who would suddenly fall asleep on the floor when they were having a conversation? Could something have happened?
Zhou Ling grabbed the bag of spirit stones and ran to the room where they had just talked. When he got there, he saw that Senior Sheng's tall body was like a cooked shrimp. He was lying on the ground with his hands covering his chest and not moving.
His extremely handsome face was now distorted, as if he was enduring some great pain.
Zhou Ling has been teaching himself alchemy recently, dealing with medicinal materials and medical theories all day long. Although he is only a beginner at present, he has some basic knowledge in medical skills.
She took the bag of spirit stones, took two steps forward, squatted down, and pinched Senior Sheng's wrist.
His expression was solemn for a long while, and then he seemed to have thought of something. He loosened his hands, let out a long breath, and his originally tense shoulders drooped.
"It turns out it was just a spiritual power deviation. I thought something serious had happened."
That’s right, at the beginning, Zhou Ling was really afraid that Senior Sheng would fall to the ground because his mother couldn’t help but beat him.
But now after a thorough examination, I found that there were no external injuries, and the internal injuries were only damage to the heart meridian caused by the deviation of spiritual power. There is no big problem and it will be fine after resting for a period of time.
Fortunately, the guest rooms on this ship are fully furnished, so it would be inappropriate to let this senior lie on the ground.
So Zhou Ling rolled up his sleeves, got into position, grabbed Senior Sheng's collar, and pulled him back.
He let out a muffled groan and pulled for a long time, but nothing moved.
"Hey, it's pretty heavy."
Zhou Ling is now a cultivator, so his physical strength is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people. He thought it was just a matter of helping someone up, how difficult could it be? But in the end, he couldn't move him, which was too embarrassing.
"I come."
The voice of Daniu sounded in Zhou Ling's mind after a long time. His eyes lit up and he looked happy. He quickly pulled the spirit beast bag to let it out.
"Daniu~" She jumped with excitement. After Daniu was released, Zhou Ling hugged the cow's neck and kissed and rubbed it.
"Well, I haven't recovered yet, and there are outsiders on the ship. It would be bad if they saw me. Let's finish this quickly."
Although Mrs. Lu has woken up now, she is very weak and has been resting in her room.
But if a cultivator wants to observe things outside, he doesn’t have to go out and use his eyes, he can use his spiritual sense to look around. Here, after my mother went out, the barrier was removed, so it is still very easy to use spiritual sense to observe inside.
So when Zhou Ling heard this, he had no choice but to nod, reluctantly let go of the cow's neck, and stood aside to watch the cow move the people.
As a descendant of the ancient mythical beast Shaking the Mountain God Bull, it was just a matter of moving a person of some weight onto the bed, which was not difficult. So the bull did not think much about it, shook his thin tail, and opened his mouth to bite Sheng Yuan's shoulder.
I wanted to pull him up, but in the end, I just heard a sizzling sound... (End of this chapter)
