Chapter 198: Cornered (2/2)

”Can I do something for you, Sanctuary Master?”

”Ahaha, don't worry I don't need anything. I just came here, since your mother asked me for a favor.”

”A favor? What did she ask from you?” Donghai was feeling tense, but he made sure to not let it show in the manner he talked and acted.

”Come on, invite me inside. This is going to be a long discussion.”

”... Alright, come in.”

After they entered and closed the door, the Sanctuary Master resumed talking.

”Well, your mother asked me to help you recovering your memories and I came here to ask you if you want to do it or not.”

”Recovering my memories?”

”Yes. Look at this. This object is one of the most important heirlooms left behind by our Goddess. It is called the Ether Illusion Orb.”

The Sanctuary Master took the ancient artifact out of his spatial ring, showing it to Donghai. After that he continued: ”I can activate your bloodline with it, stimulating your memories back. What do you think?”

Chun Donghai felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't know why, but it seemed the Sanctuary Master was caging him inside a trap, leading their conversation directly to where Donghai didn't want to get.

”Sanctuary Master, there is no need for that. I would never trouble you with a personal request like this one.”

”You don't need to worry with that. It was something I promised to your mother.” The Sanctuary Master narrowed his eyes, giving Donghai a very unpleasant smile.

”No... Even if you promised her, I can't take some of your precious time just for that.”

”Hm... You seem like you don't want to know what happened on your past? That is strange... A person at your position shouldn't be acting like that. Unless...”

”Unless...?” Donghai started to sweat.

”Unless there is something you don't want to remember. But that is contradictory, since you would need to know what you don't want to ”remember”. Or maybe... You don't want anyone finding out about something... Am I right?”

Donghai knew it was a dead end. The Sanctuary Master intonation was menacing, trying to put him in a tight stop, just like he was playing a game of cat and mouse with him.

There was only one thing he could do now. And that was to fight! And he would do it, even if it meant going against a Mana Sovereign cultivator like the Sanctuary Master.
