Chapter 852: Recovering Her Memory With Master’s Help
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When she was young, she had only heard her mother talk about all kinds of arrays, as well as the techniques and methods to break them.
Because it had been too long, her memory was a little fuzzy.
This time, after personally experiencing breaking the arrays, her heart was still beating a little too quickly.
Looking at the forested mountains that had no access by foot, she felt like complaining.
Who in this present era still lived in seclusion in the mountains, setting up arrays to prevent outsiders from entering?
She thought that if her master had lived in ancient times, he would have been a highly intelligent military advisor or an invincible general.
Although she was grumbling inwardly, she still had to break the array and go up the mountain to fetch her son.
It had been a month since she last saw Xiao Jiu. She wondered how he was doing. Had he grown taller? Had he put on weight?
A grown man like her master carrying a small bottle of wine; she did not dare to visualize what kind of image it would be.
Not long after Qin Shu left Fengyue Inn, Chao Yan finished his breakfast. The waiter removed the dishes in front of him.
Yin Shi, who was standing by the side, asked, “Master, do you want to go back to Chao Yan Manor?”
Chao Yan took out a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth. “No need, I will just wait here,” he replied.
Yin Shi thought of Qin Shu going up the mountain and could not help but ask Chao Yan, “Master, can Miss Qin Shu go up the mountain successfully? Didn’t you say that even you can’t break the array of the Qi Mountain? But yet, she…”
“It’s only a matter of time before she can go up,” Chao Yan answered with great certainty.
Yin Shi was a little surprised. There were very few people in this world who knew how to form an array, and the same goes for those who knew how to break them. In Qin Shu’s case…
“Master, breaking the array is so complicated, but Miss Qin Shu knows how to do it too?” Yin Shi marveled.
It was rare of Chao Yan to show interest in explaining. “She knows how to break the array,” he clarified. “It’s just that the amnesia caused her memory to be a little fuzzy. For techniques, even if she is unable to remember everything, she will be able to solve it easily once she gets used to it.”
Yin Shi was a little taken aback at first until he remembered that Qin Shu’s master was not an ordinary person and also very mysterious, so it was possible for Qin Shu to know.
“Will Miss Qin Shu remember what happened between both of you when she goes up the mountain this time?” asked Yin Shi.
He looked at his master carefully, since his master was not in a hurry for Qin Shu to remember what happened in the past.
As for the reason, Yin Shi had also somewhat guessed it.
Chao Yan paused, and then he emphasized his reply. “No.”
Hearing such a confident answer, Yin Shi was puzzled. “Could Miss Qin Shu’s master not be able to help her recover her memory?” he asked.
Chao Yan removed the napkin from his mouth and looked up at Yin Shi, deep in thought.
After a while, Chao Yan stood up and walked out of the inn.
It was not cold when the air-conditioner was turned on at the inn, but the temperature outside the inn was very different.
Seeing that his master was only wearing a woolen sweater, Yin Shi immediately turned around and went upstairs to get Chao Yan’s woolen coat.
Chao Yan walked out of the inn and looked up at the sky. Snow was predicted for the day, but Chao Yan did not know if the forecast would be right.
Yin Shi walked out quickly with Chao Yan’s woolen coat. “Master, it’s cold outside.” As he spoke, he put the coat on Chao Yan.
Tong Yao, who was staying at Fengyue Inn, saw a man standing at the door when she returned. Instantly, she recognized him as the man she had met at the city tower the night prior. Because his eyes were covered with gauze, she could not forget him even if she wanted to.
The fear she had experienced then had subsided quite a bit.
“You’re also staying at Fengyue Inn?” she questioned. Tong Yao was the bolder girl that night.
Chao Yan tilted his head in uncertainty as he tried to figure out the source of the voice, but he did not ask.
Seeing that Chao Yan was silent, Tong Yao realized he was probably wondering who she was, since he could not see. “We met last night at the city tower. I even talked to you,” Tong Yao offered.
Chao Yan recalled the few girls he met last night. The one in front of him was one of them.
The temperature atop the mountain during the day was much higher than at the foot of the mountain. There was no need to wear a heavy down coat.
Under the grapevine in the courtyard, a small swing chair swayed gently in the breeze.
Firmly sat on the swing chair was Xiao Jiu. His small frame was secured by a safety belt so that he would not risk falling off.
As the swing chair swayed, Xiao Jiu giggled.
Ling Er pushed the swing chair with one hand. When she saw Xiao Jiu laughing so happily, her eyes crinkled from smiling.
“Confucius said: Isn’t it a pleasure to review and practice what you have learned? Isn’t it delightful to have friends who come from far away? Others do not understand you, but you do not get angry. Isn’t that also the traits of a well-trained gentleman?”
A man sat at the side, reading the Analects of Confucius to Xiao Jiu. When he looked up and saw Ling Er’s raised eyebrows, he was stunned for a few seconds.
“Zi Qing, read a fairytale. Xiao Jiu is still so young. He will not be able to understand the analects even if you read it,” Ling Er said.
She looked up at Zi Qing and realized that he was staring at her. “What’s wrong?” she asked him curiously.
Zi Qing returned to his senses and replied, “I don’t know how to read fairytales.”
Ling Er saw his expressionless face. He read the analects with a straight face and it sounded pretty good. If it were a fairytale, it might have become a different version of one.
After giving it some thought, she decided against asking him to read the fairytale again.
Zi Qing put down the book in his hand and looked at the time on his watch. It was 3:30 pm. He looked at Ling Er. “Are you hungry?” he asked.
Ling Er looked toward Xiao Jiu. It had been more than six months and she could start adding supplementary food slowly. After some consideration, she said, “Prepare some egg custard for Xiao Jiu. As for me, you can decide.”
“Okay.” Zi Qing stood up and walked into the kitchen.
The kitchen was very large, and not at all far from the courtyard. One could reach it in less than a hundred steps.
Upon first impression, one would think that they had entered a supermarket. It had everything, whether it was a wok, a frying pan, a saucepan, a steamer, or a stew pot.
There was a huge refrigerator at the right corner with a wide range of ingredients inside.
There were also baking utensils, flour, and the like.
Looking at the equipment and ingredients in the kitchen, one could eat Chinese or Western food, even dessert. None of it would be a problem.
Over the years, Zi Qing had not made much progress in other areas, but his culinary skills had improved by leaps and bounds.
Zi Qing was wearing a windbreaker. It was pure white and spotless. His movements were professional. Whether it was cracking eggshells or controlling the heat, he was very skilled and precise.
It had been almost eight hours since Qin Shu had entered the mountain gate in the morning. She had spent the entire day in the forest.
She looked at the marble tablet at the side. The words ‘Celestial Sect of Wonders’ was written on it. She took two deep breaths and said, “This should be the top of the Qi mountain. We are finally here.”
She could feel the temperature on the mountain rising. Today, she was wearing a cashmere sweater and a T-shirt underneath. She was so hot that her entire body was covered in perspiration.
She took off her coat and tied it around her waist.
After resting a little, she continued on her journey.
Shortly after, she arrived at the forbidden area of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Looking through the gate, it was apparent that the top of the Qi mountain was huge. The amount of money, manpower, and energy it took to be able to build a house on it and build it so magnificently was a feat. There was no need for her to say anything more.
At first glance, it felt like a huge palace.. The overall structure was rather ancient, yet at the same time, it made one’s eyes light up.
