Chapter 1140: Most Beloved Person

To destroy the master of the Snow Region’s table in front of her was probably something only Jiang Yi dared to do. If it was someone else—even the Buddha Thearch, the Saint Empress probably would have killed that person in a rage.

The Saint Empress’s expression did not change the slightest. She understood Jiang Yi’s feelings very well and also knew that he was under an immense amount of pressure. At this moment, the Saint Empress was also feeling sympathetic towards Jiang Yi. However, she did not say anything and stood there quietly, waiting for Jiang Yi to finish venting his frustration.

Su Ruoxue’s face also did not change at all. However, the exchange between Jiang Yi and the Saint Empress made her slightly dazed again as she looked at Jiang Yi blankly. She felt as if Jiang Yi was so foreign to her and yet so familiar to her at the same time. Her clear eyes carried a sliver of sorrow, just like the ripples on the lake behind the pavilion.

Jiang Yi closed his eyes and was silent for five whole minutes before he regained his composure. He looked towards Su Ruoxue, his eyes full of gentleness as he forced a smile and said, “Ruoxue, do not be afraid. No matter how hard it is, I will help you to regain your memories.”

“No…”

Su Ruoxue—who had kept mum this whole time—suddenly opened her mouth. A flash of anxiety could be seen in her eyes as she shook her head and said, “I do not want to regain my memories. I am living very well now as it is.”

Looking at the confused and scared Su Ruoxue, Jiang Yi’s heart ached for her. He did not look at Su Ruoxue again, but he turned to face the Saint Empress, asking, “Saint Empress, are you the same as the Buddha Thearch? Do you not know much as well? I can finally know everything only when Yu Wen comes looking for me?”

“Yes!”

The Saint Empress nodded and said, “I know less about your mother than the Buddha Thearch does. When she came to the Snow Region that year, she had accidentally entered the Heaven Hidden Sect and had also offered me some pointers and helped the Snow Region repel a formidable enemy. As for her history and background, only Yu Wen knows. Since Yu Wen had not come looking for you, that meant that your strength is still insufficient. Cultivate hard, Jiang Yi. Now that you have the Mystic Divine Palace, your possibilities are boundless. I am also looking forward to seeing if the successor of the Mystic Thearch can reach the attainment that the Mystic Thearch did that year.”

“En. Off I go then!”

Jiang Yi smiled as he looked towards Su Ruoxue, stretched a hand, and said, “Ruoxue, let’s go. Go back with me. I will bring you back to the Stellarsky Continent; perhaps, that will help trigger your memories.”

“No!”

Su Ruoxue was still very afraid as she shook her head and said, “I do not wish to go with you. I do not want to regain my memories either. I am living comfortably here now.”

Jiang Yi did not say anything but looked at Su Ruoxue stubbornly, the deep affection in his eyes sufficient to melt an ice mountain. The slight smile on his face was also enough to let one put down his or her guard; the Saint Empress didn’t say anything as she quietly waited for Su Ruoxue to make a decision.

Su Ruoxue looked at Jiang Yi’s eyes and could feel the sincerity and affection coming from him. This moment, she was suddenly not that afraid anymore. However, she was still confused as her eyes darted to look at the Saint Empress.

The Saint Empress took over Su Ruoxue’s hand and slightly smiled as she said, “My child, do not be afraid. Jiang Yi is the person closest to you. You should go with him. If you are not used to staying outside, you can come back anytime.”

“The closest person to me?”

Su Ruoxue looked at Jiang Yi a few times and finally nodded. It was not because of what the Saint Empress had said, but because there was something inside her that wanted to go along with Jiang Yi although she was unfamiliar with him.

Jiang Yi gently took Su Ruoxue’s hand and realized that her hands were icy cold and were also trembling slightly. He ached for her even more then.

Jiang Yi held on to her hand tightly and gave her a little warmth. He did not dare to leave immediately, but he waited for Su Ruoxue’s hands to stop trembling before he brought her outside. As they walked, he said softly, “Ruoxue, do not be afraid. With me around, no one can harm you; and no one would force you to do anything. I will bring you to see Little Uncle, to see Qian Wanguan, Yun Fei, and yes… Zhan Wushuang had come with me this time as well; they are all my friends.”

“Zhan Wushuang?”

Su Ruoxue blinked her eyes slightly confused; she did not recall any of this at all. Jiang Yi did not force her as he led her out. Fifth Eldress saw that Su Ruoxue was accompanying Jiang Yi and felt a little sad, loathing to see her leave. Su Ruoxue’s steps also stopped as she seemed like she did not want to leave again.

Jiang Yi thought for a moment before saying in a low voice, “Fifth Eldress, why not you accompany us for a while and stay with Ruoxue, so that she won’t be so lonely?”

“This…”

Fifth Eldress hesitated slightly as she looked towards the pavilion that the Saint Empress was in. The Saint Empress’s voice rang out quickly as she said: “Little Fifth, in that case, you should follow Jiang Yi for a time. During this time, you will not be a disciple of the Heaven Hidden Sect; you will take orders from Jiang Yi.”

“Yes, Sect Matriarch!”

How could Fifth Elderess defy the Saint Empress’ orders? Su Ruoxue also felt more at ease; she had followed Fifth Eldress ever since she came to Heaven Hidden Sect. Fifth Eldress had taken very good care of her and treated her like a daughter.

“Let’s go.”

Jiang Yi cupped his hands towards the Saint Empress as he and the two others were teleported to Saint Mountain. After the Teleportation Formation had lit up, the Saint Empress actually went over from her pavilion as her eyes looked towards the sky to the south for a long time. She sighed slightly as she said, “Lady Yi, I can only do so much. The East Imperial Continent is a very complicated place; I am not able to help much more. Whether Jiang Yi can overcome all the obstacles and soar above the Nine Heavens or not is really up to his fate…”

…

Buzz!

On the top of Saint Mountain, Jiang Yi took out the Mystic Divine Palace; and it flew out from his hand, swiftly returning to its ordinary size. The main door also slowly opened as Jiang Yi beckoned for Fifth Eldress and Su Ruoxue to enter the palace.

Jiang Yi did not directly bring Su Ruoxue to the Mystic Thearch Pavilion; Yin Ruobing had said she did not want to see his other women. Jiang Yi also didn’t want to scare Su Ruoxue. Hence, he arranged for Fifth Eldress and Su Ruoxue to stay in another hall.

The Mystic Divine Palace was too big; there were a few dozen central halls and eighteen strange spaces—the eighteen levels. Besides these, there was the Technique Practicing Room, the Elixir Room, and many other miscellaneous side halls. Not just a few people—even if a million people were to enter there would be ample space for everyone. The space inside the Mystic Divine Palace felt like a world on its own.

“Wushuang, can you come out of seclusion for a while? Ruoxue is back. However, her memories have been sealed; she might not be able to remember you. Please do not scare her.”

Jiang Yi sent a voice transmission to Zhan Wushuang and then teleported him over. Zhan Wushuang’s shadow appeared, and he looked overjoyed as he said, “Ruoxue, I am Zhan Wushuang.”

“Uh?”

Su Ruoxue became confused as she shook her head at Zhan Wushuang, saying, “I do not know you.”

“She has indeed lost her memories!”

Zhan Wushuang’s smile tightened as he talked with Jiang Yi via voice transmissions. After knowing that Su Ruoxue’s soul spirit had been inflicted by the Talisman Poison at the hands of Ji Tingyu, a murderous look appeared in Zhan Wushuang’s eyes as his killing aura grew.

Jiang Yi signaled for Zhan Wushuang not to frighten Su Ruoxue, and he finally subsided. Zhan Wushuang opened his mouth and said, “Jiang Yi, where are you preparing to go now? Shall we return to Sin Island first? Let’s have Yun Fei accompany Su Ruoxue. Perhaps she might be able to think of something?”

“En!”

Jiang Yi nodded and said, “My sentiments exactly. I also want to go and consult Ao Lu to see if he has any good ideas. Ao Lu’s power is incredible. Their race’s Princess Qianqian had also suffered from a lethal poisoning of her soul spirit; he had managed to heal her in the end. Perhaps he could treat Ruoxue. If that doesn’t work out, we will make a trip back to the Stellarsky Continent.”

“That sounds good.”

Zhan Wushuang was elated as he heard this. He missed Yun Fei very much as well as his son whom he had not seen in years; he wanted to fly back to Sin Island immediately. Now, he had learned that they were going to the Stellarsky Continent as well? He was momentarily even more excited. His father and family in the Zhan Clan were all in the Stellarsky Continent. Now that he had broken through to the Demigod Realm, he could finally go back gloriously.
