Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 130 It said it was afraid of you...

The sun sets and it gets darker.

Jing Shu felt the effects of the medicine in his body gradually fading. Seeing that Han Luo in his arms was still asleep, he quietly got out of bed.

After tucking Hanluo in, Jingshu went to another room, took a cold shower, and the remaining medicinal effects were enough for him to neutralize with his internal energy.

Jing Shu was dressed in a dark-colored nightgown, with his long hair draped over his shoulders. Only a single braided strand of hair was placed in front of him, separating it from the rest of his wet hair.

Jing Shu turned around and sat down in the main hall. Tian Xin told Jing Shu everything she had heard. After a moment of contemplation, Jing Shu said calmly, "Bring them up."

"Yes." Tianxin disappeared from the spot, leaving only Tianxun and Tianyang by Jingshu's side. If one was not paying attention, one would not even notice the two of them.

A short while later, Ji Chen and Lu Yunqi were brought up, their hands were tied behind their backs, and they were forced to kneel on the ground.

Jing Shu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, looking at the two of them with a cold expression, as if they were inanimate objects.

Ji Chen lowered his head and wailed in his heart, "It's over. Judging from this situation, I'll be lucky to escape with my life!"

Lu Yunqi didn't react. This person said he would spare his life, and as long as he didn't do anything reckless, he wouldn't die.

"You all go down."

"Yes."

In the blink of an eye, only the three of them remained in the room. Ji Chen hadn't heard Jing Shu speak for a while, so he tentatively raised his head and met Jing Shu's gaze.

Jing Shu didn't say anything, but Ji Chen's eyes widened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back.

Jing Shu stopped tapping on the table. "You're still useful to me, so I won't kill you. Say what you want to say."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen subconsciously shook his head, "No, no."

But Ji Chen couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean you won't care about anything? You won't kill me? You won't torture me?"

"Hmm." Jing Shu only answered Ji Chen's three questions with this one word, but his hand had already touched the braided pigtail, letting the braid wrap around his slender fingers.

Ji Chen followed Jing Shu's movements and saw the little braid in front of him, which was crooked and twisted. What was so fun about it?

But Ji Chen only thought about it, just like he had just wanted to ask Jing Shu how he was disfigured, but in the end, he didn't ask anything.

"Well, I'm really sorry about what happened today. I didn't know it was you. I was only thinking about rescuing Young Master Hanluo, which led to this huge misunderstanding."

But don't worry, it definitely won't happen again! I will do my best to treat Young Master Hanluo properly, and I won't ask for the consultation fee..."

"That's not what I want to hear." Jing Shu interrupted Ji Chen, staring intently at him, not missing a single emotion in his eyes.

"What do you want to hear me say? I'll tell you everything I know!" If Ji Chen weren't tied up, he would have patted his chest to appear even more sincere.

"I want to know, why do you know me? Why do you call Han Luo Immortal Venerable? Why do you say that Han Luo is mine, Master?" Jing Shu stopped wasting words and went straight to the point.

Jing Shu had always felt that he had forgotten someone very important, but he had never been to the capital before. Yet, the person he was looking for had never left the capital.

Jing Shu had always harbored suspicions, but didn't know where to begin investigating. After hearing what Ji Chen said outside the door today, he was certain that Ji Chen, who had appeared out of nowhere, must know the reason behind it all.

Lu Yunqi also looked up at Ji Chen; he wanted to know the answer to that too. Unfortunately, he hadn't told Ji Chen about Han Luo's identity, and Ji Chen had held a grudge against him and had never mentioned it to him.

"Well, it's a long story..." Ji Chen didn't expect Jing Shu to believe him after he told him, but it wouldn't hurt to tell him since he asked.

Ji Chen stopped kneeling and sat down on the ground, speaking concisely.

"The world we live in now is fake. Only you, me, Lu Yunqi, Immortal Venerable Hanluo, and Shi Chuan are real."

In the original world, spiritual power could be cultivated. Immortal Venerable Hanluo was the patriarch of the Cloud Burial Sect, and you and Shi Chuan were his disciples. Lu Yunqi and I met you while searching for divine artifacts.

Then you told us that the artifact wasn't a good thing, so the two of us went with you to find it. You even said you wanted to destroy it.

After that, you all fell into this secret realm created by the divine artifact. You lost your memories and cultivation, and merged into this world. This secret realm will only disappear after you have all lived out your lives. Also, that hateful divine artifact is in this secret realm.

That's all. Is there anything else to add? Hmm... you believe me, right? Don't be like Lu Yunqi, treating me like a madman.

Ji Chen finished speaking in one breath, his mouth dry. If Jing Shu didn't believe him, there was nothing he could do.

Lu Yunqi fell silent after listening. In fact, putting aside the absurdity, this made sense of the things that puzzled him about Ji Chen. He knew them, but he knew nothing about their identities.

In Tianxiang Tower, only he understood the meaning of the tune Ji Chen played. His first reaction after being bought was to save Han Luo. Before he even knew Jing Shu, he asked him about this person.

Everything has been explained clearly. It's just...

"Why didn't you lose your memory?" Jing Shu asked, voicing Lu Yunqi's doubts.

"Because I have a divine artifact. Its techniques are useless against me, but in this world, I have no identity or cultivation, I'm just an unregistered person. The divine artifact doesn't even know I exist."

As Ji Chen spoke, he suddenly remembered that the Azure Light Cauldron hadn't spoken for a long time. He frowned slightly and called out to the Azure Light Cauldron in his mind. After calling for a long time, the Azure Light Cauldron finally spoke.

"Waaaaah~ Master~"

Ji Chen was startled. Apart from the time he said goodbye to the beautiful sister, Qingguang Ding had never cried again. What was wrong with it?

In Jing Shu's eyes, Ji Chen's expression changed from worry to surprise, then to confusion, and his eyes, which were originally staring at the ground, also turned to Jing Shu.

"explain."

Jing Shu had already believed what Ji Chen said, and seeing Ji Chen looking at him with such a strange gaze, Jing Shu himself didn't know why.

“My magical artifact, Xiao Qing, says it’s afraid of you…” Ji Chen said haltingly, after organizing his thoughts.

Jing Shu: "???"

Ji Chen was equally puzzled. Little Qing trembled in his mind's eye, crying as she said that when Jing Shu released his pressure on Ji Chen that afternoon, it was also affected. It wasn't internal force pressure, but extreme fear; it truly felt like it was going to die!

After the oppressive aura dissipated, it fell into a deep coma until Ji Chen just woke it up.

Ji Chen couldn't understand. The Azure Light Cauldron was a divine artifact! How could it feel afraid?!

Perhaps his master was afraid and transferred his emotions to the artifact? That's probably it...
