C36 (1/2)

Han Yan's body was startled. She recovered his wits and shook her head, ”I'm fine. I just remembered something.”

Seeing that Han Yan didn't want to answer, Ling Shuangshuang stopped asking. She played with the corner of her shirt and said in a low voice, ”Fourth senior brother, let's go back together!”

Han Yan nodded her head and quickly walked to the front of the long corridor. At the end of the corridor, there were two paths.

Walking in the garden, Ling Shuang suddenly remembered what her master told her before they left and asked, ”Fourth brother, why did you try to stop them just now?”

Although Han Yan didn't express the thoughts in his heart, she, who was observing her words, was still able to see it.

Han Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with great surprise. She then said in a deep voice, ”I think cultivators shouldn't have too many distracting thoughts. How can you calm down and cultivate if you're restricted by a woman?”

Ling Shuangshuang thought for a moment and asked, ”Does that mean cultivators can't have their own love?”

”Love?” Han Yan suddenly stopped moving forward. If one looked carefully, they would see that his body was trembling slightly.

Ling Shuangshuang looked confused and asked, ”Fourth brother, what's wrong?”

Han Yan smiled bitterly and said, ”It's nothing, let's go back!” As she spoke, she began to walk forward.

Ling Shuangshuang stood still. She took a deep breath and suddenly said, ”I know you have something on your mind. If it's convenient, you can tell me.” Saying this, she saw that Han Yan did not stop because of her words. She continued, ”Cultivators shouldn't be held back by the mortal world. If the knot in their heart cannot be untied, how can they calm down and cultivate?”

Han Yan felt it was laughable that someone would say the same thing to him right after she finished.

That's right! If the knot in his heart could not be untied, what if he could calm his heart and cultivate?

Han Yan stopped and turned around to look at Ling Shuangshuang. The moonlight shone on her body like she was a fairy, causing him to be stunned.

Han Yan shook his head, dispelling the disordered thoughts in her heart, ”Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you!”

Han Yan slowly narrated his past. After she told Ling Shuangshuang everything, he said lightly, ”If she hadn't left me back then, I wouldn't have been on the road of cultivation.”

After Ling Shuangshuang heard this, she felt upset and asked, ”Do you love her now?”

Han Yan shook her head lightly. It had been so long, he had long been relieved of this matter. All that was left was her memories, but no love.

Seeing that Han Yan didn't answer, Ling Shuangshuang added, ”Actually, if you forget one person, the best way is to fall in love with another.”

”In love with someone else?” Han Yan was surprised for a moment, then softly laughed, her laughter was very faint.

After Han Yan finished laughing, Ling Shuangshuang said seriously, ”You don't believe me?”

Han Yan shook her head, ”It's not that I don't believe it, but that I don't believe in love.”

Standing up, Han Yan looked at the end of the garden and slowly said, ”It's very late, you should rest early!” As she spoke, she strode forward.

Looking at Han Yan's back, Ling Shuangshuang murmured, ”What kind of person is he, with so many things on his mind, how could he cultivate to such a level in such a short time?” Yes, he must have sealed her memories. Could it be that he didn't know how terrifying a cultivator's memories were? Ling Shuangshuang didn't stop Han Yan, but she secretly decided to find an opportunity to help him forget that unhappy past.

Deep into the night, the manor was completely silent.

The door to Han Yan's room creaked open. He looked around vigilantly, then her figure disappeared into the dark night in a flash. Standing in the corridor, he lost herself because he saw a person, a very familiar person, hurrying past at the end of the corridor. That person's appearance was exactly the same as the person who once cared about Liu Hao.

After returning to her room, Han Yan really wanted to train, but she couldn't calm down no matter what. In order to not affect her cultivation, he decided to investigate everything.

Han Yan's figure flashed, as fast as a ghost. There were many martial arts experts hidden in the mansion. These people could find ordinary people, but not cultivators like Han Yan. Han Yan's body flashed a few times in the yard and arrived at a concealed place. She spread out her spiritual sense and began to sense the surroundings. With his current cultivation level, he could already sense the situation within a radius of half a kilometer. The marquis' residence was huge, and if he wanted to sense everything, he would need to sense it more than ten times.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Han Yan appeared in front of a simple room. This was where the servants lived, there wasn't even a guard here. Han Yan didn't want to come here, because back then Liu Xihan said that she wanted to marry a noble, how could she live here. However, he wasn't sure if Liu Xihan was telling the truth, so she wanted to find out.

His spiritual sense spread out, and she saw everything in the house. There were snores, voices, and even the breathing of men and women. When Han Yan saw this, she could not bear to continue anymore. Just as she wanted to retract his spiritual sense, she heard a woman say, ”Madam is really pitiful! ”It's only been three years since we've arrived at the mansion, and yet you've already neglected her. Even more than that, unexpectedly, the old master actually …”
