"Xiao Ye?"
Looking over at Qianbei Ye, Gu Ruoyun noticed that his brows were knitted together, deep in thought. After a long moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "I do not remember anything. I do not have any memory at all about whatever that has happened in the past."
"Do not remember? Haha! Did you really think that with just this one sentence you could actually forget all of the grave mistakes that you have committed in the past and forget the deaths of all of those people that were caused by you? Qianbei Ye, I thought that you had vanished in the long-running history. Never had I ever thought that you would reappear again in this place. Your power is mighty and powerful, I refuse to believe that there could be a person alive who could actually seal your memories. No other person is capable enough to do that other than yourself!"
No other person who could seal your memories other than yourself?
Shock and dismay flashed instantly in Gu Ruoyun's eyes. What did Zixie mean by this? Did this mean that the person who sealed Qianbei Ye's memory was no other than himself?
Why would he want to do that?
Qianbei Ye turned silent immediately, his brows furrowed in slight pain. Pieces of memories flashed past in front of his eyes and disappeared again in a flash.
In that memory, there was a young girl fully clad in white, her legs standing on the divine dragon high on top of the clouds. However, no matter how hard he tried to recollect it, he still was not able to clearly see the face of that girl. Still, just that light silhouette of hers somehow managed to trigger an intense pain in his heart.
It was an agonizing pain that he had never ever felt before, as though his heart was pierced with thousands and thousands of arrows.
"Xiao Ye?"
Looking into the ghastly pale face of Qianbei Ye that portrayed an immense amount of pain, Gu Ruoyun stopped him from recalling the memory right away. "It does not matter if you could not recall any memory."
"No!" Qianbei Ye lifted his head up to look at Gu Ruoyun. "Xiao Yun, I want to know what kind of person I really was back in the past. I know you can help me out in this. Even if I really had done some grave mistakes that are unforgivable, I would still have to bear and undertake the responsibilities now. Sealing my own memories is nothing more than a cowardice action!"
Gu Ruoyun let out a smile and said, " Alright, I will help you out. Zixie, do you have any idea how?"
Zixie turned his head away from Gu Ruoyun. Asking me to help out this bastard? No way!
"Zixie!"
This was the first time Gu Ruoyun found Zixie to be hard to deal with and she could not help but rubbed her forehead dejectedly. "I really have no clue what sort of conflict that has happened between the two of you but since you hate him so much, don't you think letting him remember his past mistakes will be better? It would be some sort of punishments as well for him."
Having listened to her words, Zixie became quiet at once.
"Young girl, you have a point. Qianbei Ye, I know that I am unable to kill you right now but I will not let you off easily either. I will make you remember all of the things that you have done in the past and let you live in remorse and self-resentment. All because it was entirely your mistake that has caused the death of that person! Did you really think that sealing up your memories could let you avoid all these consequences? I will never let you live in peace!"
It was hard to believe that this man, who was always standing high up on the altar, with a sense of superiority that looked down upon all living creatures, could actually descend and fall into the demonic path. Even though his features and the mystique aura around him had changed, the soul deep in his heart still remained the same...
Letting out a scoff, Zixie turned towards Gu Ruoyun and said, "However, young girl, I have a warning for you. This fellow is not a good person. Do not believe in him too much. Though he used to be a deity, he is now nothing more than a demon!"
The moment he had finished his words, without sparing another second, he vanished in a flash in front of these two people…
A deafening silence could suddenly be felt in the room.
After a long while, a cautious and manly voice could finally be heard.
"Xiao Yun, will you not trust me?"
Astounded and in astonishment, Gu Ruoyun looked up and had her gaze met with a pair of wary eyes. Right now, in his eyes, there was a sense of nervousness and fear, along with the indescribable look of longing as well...
