At this moment, Huahua could not see me. After collecting herself, she walked near the pear tree and looked up, calling out, “Brother Qing Yuan.”
Qing Yuan slowly lowered his head, frowning at her. A cold wind swept past me, rushing towards his direction – the consciousness wind, presumably sending back the memories of Qing Yuan from three years later.
If the memories returned and he went back to close the ghost gate, everything would be fine. I let out a long sigh, but before the cold air could reach, I saw Qing Yuan raise his hand and disperse the cold air…
Huahua, seeing he was ignoring her, said, “Brother Qing Yuan, Huahua will let you go now, just remember to go back and close the gate.”
Qing Yuan looked at her with an increasingly strange expression. Seeing her about to climb up, he coldly said, “Scram, or I’ll kill you.”
Huahua was stunned, looking at him for a long time, her expression changing.
She trembled, “You…” seeming to understand something, she immediately jumped onto the tree, panicking, “Brother Qing Yuan, no matter if you remember Huaer now, I beg you to return to the ghost realm and close the ghost gate.”
Qing Yuan continued to stare at her coldly, seemingly extremely annoyed by her words, and finally closed his eyes, no longer looking at her.
As the sky grew darker and the time limit approached, Huahua held back her tears and choked, “I’ll give you seventy years of spiritual energy. You just need to go to the Ghost King, who will definitely instruct you to close the ghost gate. You are the High Priest, and closing the ghost gate requires your consent, so please leave the pear orchard and return to the ghost realm.”
Qing Yuan finally opened his eyes, with a coldness that could freeze: “How do you know my identity? What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Why are you sighing again, Susu?”
A crisp voice beside my ear startled me. I didn’t care about him and urgently asked, “Qing Yuan, send out another memory.”
Qing Yuan paused and said, “No need.”
“Why?”
“The me from three years ago believed her, and starting over, I will still do the same.”
My heart slightly stirred. This reasoning seemed sound.
