Chapter 833: The Woman In The Lace Nightdress

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The man turned to look at Qin Shu. Seeing the determination in her eyes, he paused.

As Qin Shu spoke, she thought of Wen Xin, “And my mother. She knew that I went to the mountain to learn martial arts, but she didn’t tell me. I didn’t know why Mom had to hide this from me. She’s a very strong woman and carries everything on her own. Mom thinks she’s doing it for my good by not saying anything. But I’d rather share the burden with her than let her bear all these alone.”

The man saw the aggrieved look in her eyes, and his body stiffened. His hands clenched tightly behind his back. His cold eyes slightly moved. He realized that he had already embraced Qin Shu in his arms when he reacted. “Your mother, she…”

Thinking of Wen Xin’s earlier warning, he forcefully swallowed the words about to come out of his mouth.

“She’s indeed a very strong woman.”

Qin Shu was also stunned. Being hugged by her Master, she could feel his cold aura. Although it seemed strange, she did not feel weird.

It was like how her Master had hugged her in the past, but she did not remember it.

“But she died in a car accident. I didn’t even know who harmed her.”

Thinking of that period of time, it was simply a dark period.

She watched Qin Hai bring another woman home with his so-called stepsister, which was an illegitimate daughter.

For a time, not only did she lose her mother, but she also lost a home, a home that belonged to her.

Even if she had reincarnated, these things that she had experienced could not be erased.

Even if she wanted to take revenge, she did not know who to look for to take revenge.

The man pursed his lips and did not speak.

Qin Shu suddenly raised her head and looked at the otherworldly man in front of her. She had a vague sense of anticipation. “Master, you have a way to restore my memory, right?”

The man lowered his eyes and looked at Qin Shu. He pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.

Seeing that the man was silent, Qin Shu felt that he could help her restore her memory. She tugged at the man’s sleeve, and her voice was a little anxious. “Master, can you help me restore my memory? I want to know what had happened in the past and why I lost my memory. What happened between them and me. Maybe I can find out who killed my mother.”

The man listened to her quietly. When she finished, he said helplessly, “No.”

Qin Shu looked at the man in confusion. “Why?”

The man just stared at her and didn’t answer.

She suddenly had a hunch that her Master might have erased her memories, or he might have asked someone to erase them for her.

Earlier, he said that she would forget it even if she knew. Could it be..

She suddenly let go of the man and took two steps back, looking at the immortal-like man, “Master, you know everything, right? You erased my memories too, didn’t you? Do you know what I’ve been through all these years? Is this what you meant by doing this for my good?”

“Xiao Bao…” the man wanted to say something, but he hesitated, as if he was enduring.

Looking at the man’s cold and determined eyes, Qin Shu understood that no matter how much he said, he wouldn’t help her.

“Master isn’t willing to help me, and I won’t force you. I’ll find a way to recover my memory and discover the truth.”

She glanced at the food on the stone table. “Thank you for your hospitality, Master.”

After saying that, she turned around and left.

At this moment, the sun slowly rose from the horizon. The morning glow filled the sky, and the girl’s back was straight.

The man was momentarily in a daze.

After taking a few steps, she stopped and turned around to look at the man. She pursed her lips and said, “Master, are you friends with my mother? You’ve known each other for a long time, right?”

The man paused for a moment before nodding.

“I understand. Goodbye, Master.”

With that, she took another step and left.

However, before taking further steps, she felt a gust of cold wind behind her. She felt a pain in the back of her neck, and her vision went blank. She didn’t know what was going on anymore.

The man took the opportunity to carry Qin Shu and looked down at the unconscious girl. “Don’t blame me. I promised her.”

It was 5:40 in the morning. Half of the sun was already out, and the sky was brighter.

The man withdrew his hand and called out to the empty square, “Jiuyan.”

A black figure quickly walked over and came to the man’s side in a few seconds. He said respectfully, “Master.”

The man lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms. Her eyes were tightly shut, as if she was in a deep sleep. Her face was calm, and she looked very much like when she was a child. He ordered, “Send her down the mountain.”

“Yes, Master.”

Jiuyan took Qin Shu from the man’s arms and turned to leave.

The man stood with his hands behind his back. He watched as Jiuyan brought Qin Shu out of the mountain gate. Then he looked away. When he turned and walked back, he saw a tall figure standing at the door. She was wearing a white lace dress. Her face was exquisite, like a meticulously polished work of art. Her long black hair reached her waist.

She seemed to have stood there and watched for a long time.

The man was nervous, or due to other matters, he quickly walked over. In the blink of an eye, his slender figure appeared in front of her.

Seeing that the woman was still wearing a nightgown, he knew she had just woken up. “Why did you come out? How long have you been here?”

“I didn’t see you when I woke up, so I came out to take a look.” The woman raised her exquisite face and looked at the man. Doubts flashed in her eyes. “Who is that girl?”

“She was my disciple in the past.” The man pulled her into his arms. “Let’s go in first.”

At the Fengyue Inn

“No, don’t!”

Qin Shu shouted and opened her eyes abruptly. Her chest rose and fell violently. What greeted her was the dark brown bed top. For a moment, she was stunned.

This was the inn, her room.

Her hand was held by a warm, big hand. A familiar, low voice rang in her ear. “Babe, you’re finally awake.”

She turned when she heard the voice and saw the man’s handsome face. At this moment, he looked nervous and worried.

As she had just woken up, her brain had not fully recovered.

She was stunned for a few seconds.

Fu Tingyu saw that the girl had woken up. He held the girl’s hand tightly and found that her palm was full of cold sweat. As if she was scared, he looked at her nervously. “Did you have a nightmare?”

After being stunned for a few seconds, Qin Shu remembered that the man had been in the mountains for two days and nights. She suddenly held the man’s hand and looked at him up and down worriedly. He was wearing clothes, and there weren’t any apparent injuries. She hurriedly asked, “Are you hurt? After being trapped for two days and nights, how did you get out?”

“Our Master let us out. I’m fine.” Fu Tingyu stared at the girl for a while and said, “You’ve been sleeping for three days.”

“Three days?” Qin Shu sat up in surprise. She thought for a while and looked at the man in confusion. “Why did I sleep for three days?”

“You’ll be fine when you wake up. I’ll prepare food for you.” Fu Tingyu stood up and was about to leave when Qin Shu grabbed his wrist. He turned and looked at the girl. “What’s wrong?”

Qin Shu stared at the man for two seconds and asked in confusion, “Have you seen Master? Did he say anything?”
