Chapter 2146 - 2142: Memory Search

Xi He brought Ye Fan back to Hua Hai City. In Xi He’s view, this should be the place Ye Fan is most familiar with, capable of evoking many memories of the past.

Yet, when Ye Fan arrived in Hua Hai City and saw the bustling traffic of the early morning, he felt confused. Ye Fan asked, "What is this place, and why did you bring me here? Could this place be related to where I used to live?"

"Ye Fan, do you really not remember anything?" Lan Jing walked up and asked.

Ye Fan looked at Lan Jing and then at everything on the street. He shook his head and said, "Everything here seems unfamiliar to me. How could this possibly be the place where I lived for a long time?"

Xi He said, "It seems the master really doesn’t remember anything. But that’s also good, as the master doesn’t need to worry about many past affairs, and that’s the best outcome. However, the master still needs to recall some people, because these people are the master’s women, and also there is the matter of saving the celestial disaster, which the master cannot forget!"

"Women? Where are they? I want to meet these women, and perhaps I can remember something." Ye Fan said.

Xi He’s investigative ability allowed her to know clearly what Li Zhaojun and the others were doing. She didn’t want Ye Fan to see Li Zhaojun and the others, so she simply shook her head and said, "It’s better for the master not to see the mistress yet, as the mistress is still doing some things. The master might as well explore many places on Earth to try awakening your memories... This is the place where the master was born and lived afterward."

"Are you hiding something?" Ye Fan scrutinized Xi He with a frown, his face carrying a stern look as if questioning Xi He.

Xi He shook her head and said, "The master doesn’t need to doubt the loyalty of your servant. I would never do anything against the master’s interests. Please follow me, master."

Ye Fan didn’t press further about the matter of the "mistress" mentioned by Xi He. He simply followed Xi He with a cautious look, twisting through space and time to another place, which wasn’t in the Hua Xia nation but deep in the ocean—also where the large blue crystal initially existed.

However, due to the impact of the celestial disaster, the large blue crystal no longer exists. Nonetheless, the power of the large blue crystal still influences Earth, preventing its energy from depleting completely.

"Where is this?" Ye Fan continued to frown and asked.

Xi He said, "This is where Lan Jing used to train. The master also found her here and brought her to the outside world. Later, Lan Jing was discovered by the master to actually be the chosen one, whom the master cared deeply for..."

Lan Jing approached Ye Fan and said, "Ye Fan, she’s not lying. I met you here for the first time, back when we didn’t know each other."

"Even if that’s the case, so what?" Ye Fan snapped, "I have no memory of this place at all; telling me about it is useless. I just want to know about my past. If this place can’t awaken my memory, I’d rather not stay here... I want to meet my old women, as they should be the best candidates to awaken my memory!"

Xi He could only decline again, "The master has seen quite a few women around him, yet the master doesn’t appear to have any impression of them. So, what significance would it have for the master to see other women?"

"It seems you’re still hiding something from me." Ye Fan frowned, "Go on, if you won’t speak, I might just kill you."

Xi He sighed, "The master may not be aware; those around you have always been trying to help you. If the master sees these people now, it means their past efforts would be in vain. I don’t want the master and mistress to face difficulties in certain matters, so I rather disobey the master’s will by not taking you to see them for now!"

"Oh?" Ye Fan frowned, seemingly not intending to accept Xi He’s reasoning.

Xi He smiled and said, "The master should detect that your servant harbors no ill will toward you, and should trust that what I say hasn’t been hidden. If the master doesn’t believe, I can now take you to see these women, but I ask the master not to disturb what they’re doing for you behind the scenes."

"Alright then!" Ye Fan nodded and said, "I want to secretly observe what these women are actually doing."

Xi He finally nodded, and with the distortion of time and space, they returned to Hua Hai City, back to the hotel room where Li Zhaojun and others were forming an array, whereas Ye Fan, Xi He, and others hid in the void, examining everything before them. Ye Fan did not disrupt the peace of those in front, instead watching Li Zhaojun and Lu Xiaoman.

"Does the master have any impressions of the mistress and some women around you?" Xi He asked.

Ye Fan’s gaze lingered on Lu Xiaoman’s face, feeling very curious. This woman seemed unfamiliar, yet inside he felt a very close connection. He couldn’t explain it, confirming that no one was interfering with his heart, meaning this feeling was sincere and not a sensory experience imposed by others.

"It seems... I know her?" Ye Fan asked.

"Is the person the master is talking about the mistress?" Xi He asked.

Ye Fan shook his head, "The one you mentioned, Li Zhaojun, I have no impression of. But this woman, I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before. Strange, could it be I knew him in my past life?"

Lan Jing said, "Ye Fan, it’s not about the past life; in this life, you already know her. She’s called Lu Xiaoman. Do you remember now?"

"Lu Xiaoman?" Ye Fan also repeated the name, then shook his head and said, "No, I’m certain I don’t know this woman. Perhaps women in this world share similarities, and she’s just related to those people I lost memory of. Is that all the people?"

Xi He appeared very worried and said, "If even the mistress and these women cannot stir the master’s memories, then I truly have no other means. The master must not stay on Earth too long, as another wave of celestial disaster could occur anytime, possibly aiming to destroy the entire universe, only the master can use his powers to reverse it all, master, let’s go!"

Ye Fan glanced one last time at Lu Xiaoman, withdrew his gaze, and looked toward the distant sun, saying, "What kind of person was I before? Are you helping me or harming me? Are you trying to deceive me for some gain or simply looking to aid me in regaining memory? Or are you simply using me?"

Lan Jing shook her head and said, "Ye Fan, we’re all people who care about you. The purpose of us doing this actually has only one reason, which is to get you to quickly turn back into the Ye Fan you used to be."
