Chapter 466: Warmth (I) (2/2)

Cai’er’s look was just as lifeless, taking one step after another toward Sheng Yue.

Opening his eyes, Sheng Yue directed an astonished look at Cai’er. That was his great-granddaughter, that he was naturally the most familiar with. Cai’er’s call seemed strange, greatly different from before.

“I… I just remembered. You’re my great-grandfather. Great-grandfather, father, mother… What about my father and mother? Why, just why didn’t they come to save me? Why?”

“Cai’er, what’s up with you?” Sheng Yue looked shocked, seeing Cai’er in such a state.

Long Haochen hurriedly stepped forward, joining Cai’er’s side, “Cai’er, did you just remember? Remember everything?”

“Why didn’t you come to save me… Why?” Not paying Long Haochen the slightest bit of attention, she only repeated these words. She continued to have a lifeless look, but tears kept flowing beyond control on her face. This sight was truly painful to see.

Long Haochen completely forgot about his own matters, looking at her, embracing her in a hurry.

But the current Cai’er was intensely stirred up. Her eyes were filled with despair and coldness, looking fixedly at Sheng Yue, in total daze.

“Why? Just why did you throw me there? Why did you do this to me, you all knew…” A close to hysterical voice came out from her mouth, making everyone very tense.

Pu. Long Haochen softly hit her vitals, causing Cai’er to faint on the spot, her face still streaming with tears.

“Just what happened?” Sheng Yue was dazed at his great-granddaughter’s final question.

Long Haochen held Cai’er in his arms, wiping the tears on her face carefully, “That’s my fault, I didn’t manage to protect Cai’er…”, he told Sheng Yue how she lost her memories. Of course, he didn’t mention everything related to the Tower of Eternity, only mentioning that he had no other choice but to bring Cai’er out of the siege, having no other choice but to interfere in her awakening.

Hearing Long Haochen’s explanation, Sheng Yue remained speechless for a while. He knew that this could absolutely not be blamed on Long Haochen. Who could predict Cai’er’s sudden awakening? Long Haochen already did his best. Although he didn’t tell the details, one can imagine that when surrounded by so many Demon Hunter Remover Squads, managing to break out was already a great feat.

“Go. First return home for now.”

The home Sheng Yue mentioned was inside the Exorcist Mountain Pass’ office palace. Sheng Yue’s home was located there instead of being in the Assassin Temple. As the chief of the Exorcist Mountain Pass’ military, his home was in a courtyard at the back of the office palace. Sheng Yue didn’t put only restriction on the liberty of Long Haochen’s group, only letting them stay here. Then he told Long Haochen that the matter would be reported to the higher-ups, so for now he had to wait for any information from the Temple Alliance.

At the time Sheng Yue said that to Long Haochen, he already thought through that matter thoroughly. This was the Exorcist Mountain Pass, and his territory. If the Alliance decided to hand him over, couldn’t he just let this boy go? Everyone had their own personal reasons when they acted, and he was no exception. At the time he caught sight of Cai’er after her loss of memories, Sheng Yue’s frame of mind changed completely. For the first time, he recognized his own mistake. For the sake of the Alliance and the Assassin Temple, Cai’er was subject to unbearable pain, to the extent that this memory would be the first to come back.

A pain etched in her bones.

If he didn’t let her take the inheritance of the Dagger of Samsara, would Cai’er have to experience such pain? And this time, will Long Haochen be be sacrificed for the Alliance? Sheng Yue couldn’t do that. He already made the thorough resolve that no matter what, he will protect Long Haochen and Cai’er.

The whole 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad lived there just like that. Although the Holy War’s large shadow was enveloping the Exorcist Mountain Pass, Cai’er’s home was extremely peaceful.

That day after Cai’er sudden emotional breakout, she finally ended up getting knocked out by Long Haochen. After waking up, her mood gradually pacified. After a few days of rest, everyone was gradually making sure that some of Cai’er’s memories were back, but these were only a few memories, when she was three or four years old. It was evidently from the stimulation of the Exorcist Mountain pass, and the deep impression left by her great-grandfather Sheng Yue, that finally stimulate a few memories in her. Although this was only a small part, it was undoubtedly good news.
