Chapter 492: Regaining Memory

Hearing Han Zhan’s words, Han Jun also felt that her question just now was a little jerk.

Han Jun knew very well what kind of person her father was.

He was the best man in the world!

“Father, just take it that I asked a stupid question.”

“I’ll let you off this time.”

After driving the car into the garage of the villa, Han Zhan and Han Jun walked out of the garage. The two of them walked around the pool to the dormitory building.

Han Jun and her siblings lived in a house alone. Han Zhan and Song Ci lived in the house next to theirs. The two houses were connected by a long corridor.

The father-daughter duo was about to part ways under the long corridor when Han Jun said to Han Zhan, “Goodnight, Father. Say goodnight to Mother for me too.”

Han Zhan acknowledged and was about to enter the house when he thought of something. He stopped and turned to Han Jun. “Ask that child what he likes to eat. It’s almost the new year and we have to buy ingredients in advance.”

Hearing this, Han Jun was momentarily stunned. Then, a charming smile blossomed on her cold face. “Thank you, Father!” Han Jun couldn’t wait to share this good news with Xu Qian. Her footsteps quickened as she returned to the house.

Han Zhan stared at Han Jun’s hurriedly departing back view and suddenly felt a sense of regret that a grown woman shouldn’t be kept.

Han Jun’s room was next to Han Miao’s, facing each other. There was a corridor in the middle. The entire floor was their living area, and Han Zheng’s room was upstairs.

When Han Jun returned to her room, Han Miao and Han Zheng were still awake and playing games. Hearing the lift door open, Han Miao opened the door of the gaming room and said to Han Jun, “Jun’er, come and play games.”

Han Jun said, “I’ll take a shower first.”

She went back to her room to take a shower, put on her fluffy set of pajamas, and went to the gaming room.

Han Zheng and Han Miao laid in the companion gaming cabin playing holographic games. Han Jun stared at her gaming cabin for a while and felt that playing games was especially boring. She turned back to her room to video call Xu Qian.

The video call went through but no one answered. Xu Qian might be busy. Han Jun put on her eye mask and laid on the bed to sleep. She always fell asleep very quickly, but it was also very easy to wake up. Any movement would wake her up.

Her cell phone vibrated slightly and Han Jun heard the commotion. She pulled down her blindfold, picked up her cell phone from the bedside table, opened her WeChat app, and saw that Xu Qian had sent a message a minute ago.

Xu Qian: [I just finished the surgery and am having supper. Are you resting?]

Han Jun looked at the time. It was already 2.40am.

It was so hard on doctors.

Han Jun made a call to Xu Qian. As soon as the call was made, Xu Qian answered the call immediately.

He was eating steamed dumplings and there were only two left in the fast food box.

Xu Qian always ate the dumplings bite by bite, but his chewing actions looked very gentle.

Xu Qian was filled with elegance.

Xu Qian saw that Han Jun was wearing pyjamas and her hair was in a mess from her sleep. He only glanced at her before retracting his gaze. He didn’t dare to look at her too much, afraid that he would let his imagination run wild.

Han Jun laid under the blanket and chatted with him. She said, “When is your hospital on holiday?”

“Doctors never take leave, but I took leave.”

“What’s the reason?”

“Marriage.” Xu Qian said it very calmly. As the listener, Han Jun was also very calm. Xu Qian told her, “I can go back tomorrow morning after work. I have to return to Kunlun to visit the Spring Festival. At the beginning of the year, I’ll bring my parents to Wangdong City to visit your father and mother.”

“Is Kunlun Mountain cold?”

“Of course.” The average altitude of Kunlun was 5,500 to 6,000 meters. The highest peak was more than 7,600 meters tall. The top of the mountain was covered in snow all year round. It was a cold that ordinary people couldn’t endure.

Han Jun said, “I’ve never been to Qinghai.”

“I’ll bring you out to play after the new year.”

“Okay.”

Xu Qian looked at the time and said, “Sleep early. I still have to visit the patient after eating.”

“Okay.”

“Oh yes.” Han Jun thought of something and told Xu Qian, “I’ve already told my father that you’re coming to our house to visit for the new year. My father asked me to ask what you like to eat so that he can get the butler to prepare it in advance.”

“I am very easy to support. Ask your father to prepare casually.”

“Okay.”

Han Jun hung up the video and fell asleep very quickly.

It was snowing outside. Han Jun hid under the blanket and pulled open all the curtains. She stared at the pine trees on the back of the mountain and suddenly didn’t want to get up.

She lazed in bed until 10am.

Han Miao was building a snowman in the front yard. She was dressed especially thick and was holding a black shovel. Seeing that Han Jun had finally woken up, she waved at her. “Jun’er, come and build a snowman with me.”

Han Jun was famished and just wanted to eat. “Go ahead. I don’t want to play.”

Han Jun went to the dining room to have breakfast and was rather surprised to see that Yan Qingxiu was actually resting at home today. The Han Family’s outdoor pool was frozen with a thick layer of ice. Han Zheng was skiing on the ice in his ice skates.

Yan Qingxiu stood under the storm corridor and stared at the youth skating in the distance. He seemed to have thought of something and was slightly engrossed. He didn’t even know when Han Jun had arrived beside him.

“Auntie Dong.” Only after Han Jun spoke did Yan Qingxiu wake up.

Yan Qingxiu tilted his head and stared at the girl beside him.

Yan Qingxiu, who was already 17 years old, was already taller than Dong Yang. Yan Qingxiu had to lift his chin to see Han Jun’s appearance and expression clearly. “Why are you willing to sleep in today?” Han Jun had always been self-disciplined and seldom slept. Yan Qingxiu was shocked that she suddenly slept like this.

Han Jun’s vision was filled with pure white snow. She stared at the snow and murmured, “I don’t know why, but I feel lazy whenever I see snow.”

Yan Qingxiu smiled. “I really like snowy days.”

“Is that so?”

“Mmm.” It was unknown what Yan Qingxiu thought of again, but the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She said, “The place I live in is a world of ice and snow. Every December, my hometown will hold an ice sculpture competition. Whoever’s sculpture is most liked by Master, that person can accompany Master for dinner.”

Yan Qingxiu pointed at his chest and smiled. “I am always the winner.”

Han Jun thought of that grand occasion and felt a little yearning. “What do you usually carve?”

“There are all sorts of strange things. I can carve whatever I want, but in terms of carving skills, no one is better than my master.” Yan Qingxiu admired his master very much.

Han Jun stared at Yan Qingxiu for a moment before suddenly saying, “You’re not Dong Yang.”

Yan Qingxiu’s expression froze.

Han Jun asked again, “Auntie Dong, who exactly are you?”

Yan Qingxiu quickly regained his composure. He looked at Han Jun calmly and asked in a meaningful manner, “Then who do you think I am?”

Han Jun reached out and stroked Yan Qingxiu’s face. It was smooth and didn’t look like the face of a woman in her forties at all. “Auntie Dong, so many years have passed and your appearance hasn’t changed at all. No one will not age unless you are not human.”

Yan Qingxiu laughed out loud.

“I am human.”

Han Jun frowned.

Yan Qingxiu added. “If you don’t believe me, you can send me to the research institute to check if the genes in my body are human genes.”

Han Jun acknowledged coldly and suddenly said, “You are human, but you are not Dong Yang. You are another person who occupies Dong Yang’s body. Auntie Dong, are you really not going to tell me who you are?”

Yan Qingxiu reached out and stroked Han Jun’s nose. He said mysteriously, “One day, you will remember who I am. Junjun, I want to give you a present.”

Han Jun instinctively asked, “What is it?”

“Wait a moment.”

Yan Qingxiu went to the dining room, opened the refrigerator, and took out an arm-sized ice pillar.

Yan Qingxiu held the ice carving knife and started carving in front of Han Jun.

He was wearing thermal insulation gloves and the weather was at -8 degrees Celsius today. That meant that the ice sculpture would not melt anytime soon. Yan Qingxiu moved quickly and finished carving his work without much time.

“For you, Junjun.”

Han Jun stared at the work in his hand and didn’t reach out to take it. She just looked down.

It was a woman. She was wearing a long gown with long tied hair and a long sword on her back. Her facial features were not carved by Yan Qingxiu.

Han Jun asked Yan Qingxiu, “Why is she faceless?”

A look of admiration appeared in Yan Qingxiu’s eyes again. He said, “Because no one has seen her appearance.”

“Who is she?”

Yan Qingxiu blinked slyly. “My master.”

Only then did Han Jun take the ice sculpture and size it up. This immortal-like attire was not the attire of modern people, nor did it look like the attire of any dynasty in history.

Who was Aunt Dong’s master?

Before Han Jun could think of an answer, her cell phone rang. She took out her cell phone from her pocket and saw that it was Xu Qian. She hurriedly answered the call. “Brother, are you home?” It was almost 11am and Xu Qian should be on the way back to Qinghai.

However, Xu Qian’s answer was very unexpected. He said, “The snowfield airport is frozen and the flight has stopped. I am now on the high-speed train to Wangdong City. Little friend, do you have time to fetch your boyfriend?”

Han Jun ran towards the garage.

Ten years ago, Long Yu started his own business and founded an property security company. Han Zhan hired three new drivers. One driver was specially responsible for Han Zhan’s travel, another was responsible for Song Ci’s daily travel, and another was at home waiting for instructions.

When Han Jun arrived at the garage, the home driver, Feng Rui, was sitting in the lounge by the garage watching a movie. Knowing that Han Jun was going out, the driver hurriedly turned off the movie and drove Han Jun to the high-speed rail station.

After boarding the car, Han Jun realized that she was still holding the ice sculpture tightly. She placed the ice sculpture on a useless document, lowered her head, and sent a message to Xu Qian asking where she was.

Xu Qian told her that he would reach in three more stops.

The car stopped in the parking lot of the high-speed rail station. Han Jun got the driver to wait here while she walked to the exit of the high-speed rail station to wait. Han Jun waited for more than 20 minutes and saw that the high-speed rail that Xu Qian boarded had arrived.

She was tall. Xu Qian walked out of the passage and saw the tallest girl in the crowd.

He carried his luggage and walked towards Han Jun.

It was cold and Xu Qian was wearing a black down jacket. He was 1.88 meters tall and very eye-catching.

He pulled his luggage and stood in front of Han Jun. Seeing that Han Jun was standing there in a daze and not reaching out to hug him, Xu Qian smiled and said, “Little kid, I didn’t eat breakfast and sat on the high-speed train for four hours for 700 kilometers just to see you. Why are you not even calling me elder brother when you see me?”

Han Jun still felt like she was dreaming.

Last night in the video, Xu Qian was still on night shift and had said that he would rush back to Kunlun Mountain to celebrate the new year. Why did he suddenly appear in front of me?

Xu Qian reached out, snatched Han Jun’s glasses, and stuffed them into his coat pocket. Then, he lowered his head, hugged Han Jun, held her waist, pressed her into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Only when Xu Qian kissed her did Han Jun snap out of her trance.

Xu Qian really came to see her.

Han Jun gently pushed Xu Qian away, grabbed his hand, and said softly, “Go to the car. Don’t let anyone see you.”

Xu Qian’s heart tingled at her words, but he didn’t intend to continue doing anything to Han Jun. “I came to have lunch with you and have to go back. Kunlun Mountain is too far away. If I’m late, I won’t be able to rush back for the new year.”

Hearing this, Han Jun’s heart warmed.

“Alright, I’ll bring you to eat steamed chicken.”

“Okay.”

Han Jun brought Xu Qian to the seat where she sat with Han Zhan last time. The two of them had just finished ordering and before the dishes were served, Han Jun saw a familiar face.

Xu Qian saw that Han Jun was staring at a seat diagonally ahead. He looked up and saw a young girl sitting at the table between the two of them. The girl was very skinny but looked very sweet. The boy was handsome and charming.

Xu Qian asked Han Jun, “You know them?”

Han Jun nodded at the girl’s seat and told Xu Qian, “That’s Han Miao’s best friend, Lin Yutian.” Han Jun stared at the boy sitting opposite Lin Yutian and said, “That’s the former school hunk.”

“Why former?”

Han Jun said, “The new school beau is Han Miao’s boyfriend.”

Xu Qian stared at that young man’s face for a moment before suddenly asking Han Jun, “Then do you think I am better looking or that former school hunk?”

Han Jun looked at Xu Qian seriously. After a moment, she said, “Brother, you’re good-looking.”

“How good-looking?” Xu Qian teased her on purpose.

Han Jun asked, “Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”

Xu Qian picked up his malt tea and took a sip. “Brother never likes to hear lies.”

Han Jun said, “You are very good-looking. I want to peel your clothes and see to the end.”

“Pfft—”

Xu Qian was so scared by Han Jun’s words that he spat out the tea in his mouth.

Han Jun calmly took out a tissue and handed it to Xu Qian. As Xu Qian wiped her mouth, she secretly observed Han Jun. After Han Jun said those vulgar and bold words, she didn’t feel awkward at all. She picked up her chopsticks and bit the carrot until it creaked.

Apart from being young, little children were not small at all. They were especially bold, arrogant, and unruly. It was very difficult to tame them.

Xu Qian had a ticket at 2pm in the afternoon and was in a hurry for the meal. After the meal, Han Jun sent Xu Qian to the high-speed rail station. Before leaving, Xu Qian and Han Jun were speechless. In the end, Han Jun was the first to break the silence. She said, “Tell your mother that I like beef jerky.”

Only then did Xu Qian smile.

“Alright. I’ll bring more for you when we go to your house.” Without further ado, Xu Qian turned and entered the high-speed rail station.

The direct high-speed train from Wangdong City to Qinghai and Xining City had already been opened. The entire journey took 15 hours. After Xu Qian arrived at Xining City, he took another 8 hours train to reach Gehrmu.

It was already dark at around 7.40pm in the winter at Golmud. When Xu Qian arrived at Golmud at 3pm, the sun was still very high here.

The residents here were generally dark-skinned. When the fair-skinned Xu Qian walked out of the bus stop, he was locked in Xu Yan’s gaze. “Son, Father is here!”

Xu Qian saw his father who had gained a lot of weight. He pulled his luggage over and was grabbed by Xu Yan’s arm as he sized him up. “My son is so handsome, so tall, and so fair! One look and I can tell he’s a handsome man. He really makes our Xu family proud!”

Xu Yan was also very handsome when he was young, but he was not as tall as Xu Qian. He had gained weight in recent years and looked slightly greasy.

“Alright, stop embarrassing yourself.”

Xu Yan chuckled and pulled Xu Qian into the car.

Although Xu Yan was short and fat, he drove an expensive Rolls-Royce Curinan. This SUV was priced at more than 7 million yuan. Xu Yan’s heart ached for his son’s hard work, so he let him sit in the passenger seat and drove personally.

Every new year, the entire Xu Family would return to Kunlun to celebrate the new year. This was an unchanging custom. Unlike others, the Xu Family needed to pray for blessings and offer sacrifices to the gods during the new year. From the night of the eve of the new year, the head of the Xu Family had to bring his entire family to worship the gods on the altar of Kunlun Mountain and pray for the country’s weather.

Xu Yan was the family head in name, but in reality, the position of the family head had already been handed down to Xu Qian. This year was Xu Qian’s first time hosting a blessing ceremony, and he attached great importance to it. This was also the reason why he had to rush back to Kunlun Mountain to celebrate the new year.

When they arrived home, Xu Qian hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and went to take a bath to clean himself up.

At 8pm, the sky at Kunlun Mountain was slightly dark.

Mother Xu walked into Xu Qian’s residence in a dark blue Chinese gown. She held the tray with both hands. On the tray was the clothes that Xu Qian had requested for tonight’s prayer ceremony.

Xu Qian had already showered and put on a white inner robe. He sat in the room and waited to change clothes. Mother Xu and the most respected female elder of the clan personally helped Xu Qian change clothes. It was a black, wide-sleeved robe with the Kunlun Xu Family’s sacred item, the “Void Bird”.

There were records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that there were birds in Kunlun. They were colorful and spoke in human language. They were said to be birds that traveled through the air.

There were only a few Void Du Birds in the entire world at Kunlun.

Everyone from the Xu Family gathered around the prayer table and sat cross-legged. The cold wind whistled, but everyone sat upright as if they didn’t know the cold. When Xu Qian appeared on the prayer table in a gorgeous dress with an eye mask over his left eye and a Return to One Sword in hand, a dazzling seven-colored light suddenly lit up the dark sky.

Everyone looked up and saw two birds circling in the sky.

Not every blessing ceremony could attract the birds. Seeing the birds, everyone’s trust in Xu Qian increased.

Xu Qian sat on the prayer platform and recited the scriptures. He first recited the scriptures to exorcise the lonely souls and evil spirits that had nowhere to go in this world, then recited the scriptures to pray for the country’s weather. He sat from 9pm until 8am the next morning. During this period, he didn’t touch a drop of water and chanted the scriptures non-stop.

The blessing ceremony only ended at 9am.

Xu Qian was about to stand up when his left eye, which had always been very quiet, suddenly felt a sharp pain. His eyeballs were jumping wildly, and his eyeballs looked like they were about to jump out of their sockets.

Xu Qian instinctively pressed down on his eyeballs to stabilize his mind, but the evil spirit trapped in his eyes couldn’t resist for a moment.

He had been waiting for this day for too long!

Xu Qian hosted the entire blessing ceremony. At this moment, he was at his weakest. The evil spirit had seized the opportunity to escape. It was already impossible for Xu Qian to suppress the evil spirit.

Xu Qian’s eyes started to burn as a sinister voice appeared in his mind. “Qu Jingtian, you’ve suppressed me for 1300 years. Do you really think you can suppress me forever!”

“Hohoho, Qu Jingtian, when I regain my freedom, I will definitely tear you and Yan Qingqiu into pieces to vent my hatred!”

When Xu Qian heard this person’s voice, his head hurt so much that it felt like it was going to explode. He pressed down on his head and asked in his mind, “Who are you!”

“Who am I?”

“Hahaha!” That person laughed wildly and said crazily, “Qu Jingtian, have you forgotten? You are the only medicine man in the cultivation world! You are a cultivation venerable. Any immortal cultivator can ascend directly after eating your heart. If an evil spirit eats your heart, it can even reconstruct the human body! Back then, your master adopted you and did his best to nurture you into a material. Wasn’t it all for that heart of yours!”

“Qu Jingtian, if that little monster didn’t do his best to protect you and seal me with his life, you would have already become my meal. Qu Jingtian, Qu Jingtian, I didn’t expect the number one heartless sword cultivator in the cultivation world to be willing to dig out his own heart to save a woman, hahaha!!”

“You are really devoted!”

The evil spirit struggled in Qu Jingtian’s eyes, trying to escape the seal that Yan Qingqiu had laid for him back then.

After Qu Jingtian’s death back then, the evil spirit had undergone reincarnation after reincarnation with his soul. It had tried to escape every day, but because Yan Qingqiu’s seal was too powerful, he had not succeeded.

But after being imprisoned for 300 years, which was 1,000 years ago, the evil spirit suddenly realized that the seal on Yan Qingqiu’s body had weakened! He guessed that Yan Qingxiu might have perished and was about to go crazy with joy.

The evil spirit had been accumulating strength for a thousand years. He had waited and waited until the day when Qu Jingtian’s soul was at its weakest!

This time, the evil spirit must escape!

Boom!

A blinding red light blossomed from Xu Qian’s left eye. The blindfold on Xu Qian’s face was instantly flicked open and a dark cloud fled into the distance.

Xu Qian spat out a mouthful of blood and scattered it on the ground. His body collapsed weakly. The evil spirit had escaped and his sealed memories were also released.

It was as if he had traveled back to the Aosheng Continent 1500 years ago.

That year, he broke off his relationship with his master because he saw through his master’s true colors. His master was afraid that Qu Jingtian would expose his true colors.

Afraid of being despised, he urgently wanted to get rid of Qu Jingtian to prevent future trouble.

Qu Jingtian was already the number one expert in the cultivation world at that time. The Immeasurable Venerable couldn’t deal with him and actually ran to the land of extreme evil to open the secret door, releasing countless evil spirits and demonic cultivators from another plane.

Although Qu Jingtian cultivated the Heartless Sword Dao, he held the world in his heart. He rushed to an extremely evil place with thousands of powerful immortal cultivators and fought with fiendish cultivators for half a month. In the end, he opened up a bottomless abyss in the land of extreme evil with the power of his sword and imprisoned all fiendish cultivators and powerful evil spirits.

During that battle, Qu Jingtian’s meridians were damaged and he had been unconscious in the land of extreme evil for more than 80 years. When he woke up, the battle had already ended and the land of extreme evil had turned into a dark area without any light.

As he traveled through the land of darkness, he actually met an evil spirit embryo transformed from the will of countless evil spirits. That evil spirit embryo was born with strong magic power and was a destroyer of the world, but she had a pair of eyes that were even cleaner than clear lake water.

The first time they met, in order to please him, she handed him the remaining half of the crow in her mouth.

Although he knew that the little monster was a world-destroying monster, Qu Jingtian had never been able to kill her before the monster committed a heinous crime. He thought that if he wanted to change the influence of the evil spirit embryo on this world, he could not only kill it but also teach it.

Qu Jingtian had raised that little monster by her side. He had named her Ah Qiu, taught her swordplay, taught her to read and write, and taught her how to be a ‘person’. They had lived together for a hundred years and he had become weaker and weaker. However, the little monster had already grown up to be a beautiful and powerful little Supremacy.

She was born without feelings and had no feelings for this world. All she saw was Qu Jingtian.

That was why Yan Qingqiu was enraged when the weak Qu Jingtian was ambushed and killed by the evil spirit. That was why she risked her life to block the evil spirit’s most fatal blow for Qu Jingtian.

Yan Qingqiu was heavily injured by the evil spirit and was on the verge of death. She used her final strength to seal the evil spirit and hid it in Qu Jingtian’s eyes. Yan Qingqiu laid in Qu Jingtian’s arms covered in blood and said to him, “Qu Jingtian, I still can’t fall in love with this world.”

“Qu Jingtian, I opened my eyes. This world is you. I closed my eyes. This world is also you. You are alive. I tried my best to love this world. If you die, I will destroy this world.”

Qu Jingtian’s tears landed by her mouth. She touched Qu Jingtian’s nose tenderly and said, “Qu Jingtian, don’t cry. I am an evil spirit. I am not afraid of pain…”

The little monster, who was not afraid of pain, clutched Qu Jingtian’s clothes tightly in pain and died in his arms.

At that moment, Qu Jingtian, who had cultivated the Heartless Sword Dao his entire life, admitted defeat. He gave up the opportunity to ascend, dug out his heart, and offered it to Yan Qingqiu. His heart helped Yan Qingqiu reconstruct her body.

The resurrected Yan Qingqiu had another heart. She had love, but the person she loved was no longer around.

Qu Jingtian!

So he was the Qu Jingtian in Han Jun’s dream!

Xu Qian leaned into Xu Yan’s arms. He grabbed Xu Yan’s hand tightly and said, “Father, prepare… prepare 50 thousand-year-old ginseng and send me to the Han Family. I… I promised her that I would visit her parents…”

He had already broken his promise to her for 1300 years. This time, he definitely couldn’t break his promise!
