Chapter 501 - Erase Ones Memory (2/2)
The little bird answered loudly, “Of course! There are a few among the Phoenixes’ secret techniques!”
The Phoenixes’ secret techniques were broad and profound. Ou Yangming could only begin learning and cultivate the smallest magic arts for the time being. As for bigger tricks such as a technique to erase one’s memories, they were out of his reach for now.
“Lil’ Red, do you know how to do it?”
“Of course.” The little red bird stuck out its chest proudly.
“Okay, use it on him once he recovers. Everything will be fine if his memories of Big Yellow and the ones related to the Tree of Splendour are erased,” Ou Yangming expressed in a deep voice, “If not…”
He did not finish his sentence, but the little red bird and Big Yellow understood him right away.
Ou Yangming would certainly try to keep the scholar alive if he could but if nothing could be done, he would not be pedantic and would not let an enemy stay by his side.
Even though the little red bird still felt that it was too troublesome, it agreed to it without any hesitation.
‘The magic art to erase one’s memories… I might not be very familiar with it already since I haven’t used it for a while, but it’s okay, I’ll treat it as a game.’
It casually wondered.
If Hong Feiyu knew his fate was in the hands of such an unreliable little red bird, he would probably be so shocked that he would turn into a fool.
The next day, Hong Feiyu had indeed recovered a bit after he consumed a spiritual pill given by Ou Yangming.
His injuries had not fully recovered but at the very least, he had no trouble walking. Despite that, the scholar dared not think about escaping at all because he could sense two incredibly strong conceptions in this residence constantly keeping an eye on him.
If he came up with an unrealistic idea and decided to act on it, he would only be given one chance, and the consequence would be unbearable if he failed.
Hong Feiyu’s condition became better after 3 days, and he was no longer in a severe state.
Throughout the process, Ou Yangming also used up some precious pills that he had in store.
It was not that Ou Yangming did not care about the pills at all, but because Hong Feiyu was a supreme powerhouse, thus ordinary medicine would not be effective for him. As such, the young fellow was forced to go to some expense so that the scholar could recover as soon as possible. That said, the pills that he gave away were nothing much if he compared them to the number of treasures he received from the imperial family in the past.
Even when Hong Feiyu was already fully recovered, he did not plan to flee at all. When Ou Yangming visited him in the woodshed again, he looked at him differently.
The young fellow did not mean well when he left Hong Feiyu hanging for several days on purpose. In particular, the goshawk had been ordered to be ready outside the city, so the scholar’s fate was already fixed if he decided to escape. However, since Hong Feiyu ended up staying obediently in the residence, Ou Yangming could not kill him openly.
Hong Feiyu uttered with respect as soon as he saw Ou Yangming, “Brother, thanks for the medicine. I’m eternally grateful.”
“We were the ones that injured you, so it’s not a big deal for us to treat you.” Ou Yangming waved his hand gently. “What do you plan to do next, Brother Hong?”
“I told you I’m willing to follow you and serve you for a century, so please allow me to, brother,” Hong Feiyu answered without any delay. This was his second time saying the same thing, but he sounded more sincere this time.
“Brother Hong, why do you want to do this?” Ou Yangming chuckled.
‘I likely can’t survive if I don’t do this,’ Hong Feiyu thought, but he explained with an eager look on his face, “I’d like to return to my hometown while I’m still alive, but I can only achieve that goal by relying on you, brother.”
Ou Yangming was dumbfounded. The scholar made sense, but he did not change his mind. “Brother Hong, it’s fine if you’d like to stay, but I have a few questions for you.”
‘It’s coming indeed,’ Hong Feiyu thought as he tensed up. He knew the following conversation would decide his fate, hence he dared not make any mistakes. “Brother, please ask away.”
Ou Yangming nodded but did not direct any questions at the scholar; he only stared at the man with bright eyes.
Hong Feiyu was extremely anxious. He dared not relax at all because he was too nervous from facing Ou Yangming, but he became so focused on the young fellow that he neglected everything else.
A flash of light was suddenly seen in the little red bird’s eyes. Those eyes seemed to contain indescribable magic, which entered Hong Feiyu’s eyes in a split second. The powerhouse could not help but s.h.i.+ver a little and seemed to have noticed what was happening, but he could not react in time.
He was quite unlucky because he put most of his attention on speculating Ou Yangming’s thoughts. Needless to say, he was also quite wary against Big Yellow, which previously exchanged blows with him and displayed notable combat power. As for the birdcage in the young fellow’s hand… How much should one rack one’s brain to be able to tell that the real boss was hiding inside?
Almost without the ability to resist at all, Hong Feiyu fell into a spiritual world created by the little red bird. He instantly looked dazed as if he became an idiot, and he also seemed lifeless.
Ou Yangming sighed. ‘The little red bird is certainly extraordinary in certain aspects, and I’m truly fascinated by it. The power used to construct such a spiritual world is truly beyond my reach.’
Nevertheless, since he had an expert by his side, he decided that he would learn from it as much as possible to pick up the ability!
