Chapter 545 Re-recognition
In a luxurious mansion in the capital, a family elder sat on a throne, his face gloomy. "We cannot easily tread upon the territory of Taixu Valley," his voice was low and subdued, as if he was straining to suppress his resentment. "But the Star Blade..." A glint of greed flashed in his eyes. The Star Blade was too tempting for their family.
"But are we just going to give up like this?" A young disciple stepped forward, a look of reluctance on his face. His eyes gleamed with stubbornness, filled with longing for the Star Blade.
"Of course we can't give up, but we need to take a long-term view," the elder said slowly, a sly look in his eyes, as if he were plotting something. "Let's send someone to watch here first, and then we'll take action when the opportunity presents itself."
Lin Feng, Chen Xiner and Chen Yu walked into Xulin Village and looked at this prosperous village with surprised expressions.
"Is this really a village?" Chen Yu exclaimed, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. The Xulin Village before them was far larger than any village they had ever seen. The wide main street was bustling with people, and shops lined the streets, some selling various local specialties, some hawking freshly baked pastries, and some showcasing exquisite handicrafts. It was a bustling scene.
Chen Xiner's mouth dropped open slightly, eyes filled with wonder. "Look at these buildings, and the bustle of the place! It's even more prosperous than some small towns." Her gaze swept over the tall, sturdy houses, each one meticulously constructed and meticulously planned. In the center of the village, a magnificent mansion stood out, its soaring eaves, brackets, carved beams, and painted buildings highlighting its owner's exceptional status. Later, they learned that this was the residence of a prominent family affiliated with Taixu Valley.
Lin Feng watched all this quietly. Although his amnesia made him feel unfamiliar with everything around him, the scene before him still made his heart surge. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, but also a curiosity about the unknown.
They had originally planned to find someone familiar with the route to lead them to Taixu Valley. However, when they inquired with the villagers, the answers they received left them feeling somewhat frustrated. "Gentlemen, this won't work at night," a white-haired old man said, shaking his head. "The monsters in the Kongsheng Great Forest become active at night. Even experienced hunters wouldn't dare enter the forest to reach Taixu Valley at this time." The old man's face was filled with worry, as if the ferocious monsters were right before his eyes.
The three of them had no choice but to find an inn in the village to stay. The inn was filled with the aroma of food and was filled with travelers from all over the world. Lin Feng and the other two found a corner to sit down and ordered a few simple dishes. Just as they were eating, they heard light footsteps and a man and a woman walked into the inn.
The man stood tall and straight, dressed in a cyan robe. An exquisite sword hung from his waist, its scabbard gleaming faintly in the candlelight. The woman, dressed in a lavender dress, had a delicate face and bright eyes, revealing a sense of intelligence. They walked straight to Lin Feng. The man clasped his hands together, performed a standard Jianghu salute, and said, "General Lin, we meet again."
Lin Feng looked up in confusion, staring at the man and woman before him. Chen Xiner and Chen Yu also stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the two uninvited guests, their faces equally bewildered and at a loss.
Although Lin Feng was a little embarrassed, he still stood up politely and responded with a fist: "You two, have we known each other before?" There was a hint of caution in his voice, fearing that he had missed some important memory.
The man was stunned for a moment, then reacted, an apologetic smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Sorry, sorry, I forgot about General Lin's current situation. Let me introduce myself again, I am Su Yu, from Taixu Valley, we have met twice before." His tone was sincere, and there was a hint of familiarity and kindness in his eyes.
The woman also clasped her fists and said in a clear voice, "My name is Youlan." Her smile was like a flower blooming in spring, making people feel warm.
Lin Feng frowned slightly, and said with a hint of helplessness: "I'm really sorry, you two. I have lost my memory and I really can't remember it." A trace of loss flashed in his eyes, and he felt extremely regretful for the lost memory.
Su Yu waved his hand and said quickly: "General Lin, there is no need to do this. Master has already figured out your situation. Now it is Master who has arranged for me to pick you up and bring you into the valley." A confident smile was on his face, as if everything was under their control.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, and he quickly said, "Thank you both!" His voice was full of gratitude. He was originally worried about entering Taixu Valley, but he didn't expect that there would be a turn for the better so soon.
Chen Xiner's eyes flashed with curiosity and gratitude. She looked at Youlan and Su Yu and asked, "You are from Taixu Valley. Have you seen Lin Feng before? Have you saved Lin Feng on the front line?" Her voice was particularly clear in this slightly noisy inn, with a hint of urgency. She was eager to find out about Lin Feng's past experiences. Those forgotten stories might be the key to solving the mystery of his amnesia.
Youlan shook her head slightly, with a gentle smile on her face, and explained: "Miss Chen misunderstood. We just followed the master's arrangement and went to the front line to meet General Lin. The one who saved General Lin was General Li." Her voice was like a gurgling stream, crisp and pleasant, which made people feel very comfortable listening to it.
"How do you know my name?" Chen Xin'er's eyes widened in surprise, her face filled with confusion. She leaned forward slightly, staring intently at Youlan, trying to find the answer from her response.
Youlan covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, saying, "We have also heard a little about what happened between you and General Lin, and of course Brother Chen as well." Her eyes swept over Chen Xiner and Chen Yu one by one with a hint of friendliness.
"I didn't expect you guys knew me too." Chen Yu couldn't help but interject, a smile of surprise on his face. He scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, as if he hadn't expected that he would be known by the people of Taixu Valley.
Chen Xin'er nodded slightly, suddenly realizing, "I see. Thank you for saving Lin Feng. If you hadn't gone to the front lines to deliver the Yin-Yang Qi Transformation Technique, how could Lin Feng have been saved?" Her voice was filled with gratitude, and tears glistened in her eyes. She turned to look at Lin Feng, her eyes filled with tenderness and concern. After Lin Feng lost his memory, she had been worried about his condition. Now that she knew the details of his past rescue, her gratitude to the two of them was even greater.
