“Yes… and no?”
“W-What does that mean?”
Xiao Qingxuan hurriedly voiced her confusion, her gaze filled with worry as she looked at Ye Luqing.
Grandmaster Sister Bai He also furrowed her brow slightly.
As an Array Master at the Nascent Soul Realm, her mastery of spiritual power was not weak, but she too could not understand this statement.
“Ah Qing…”
Xiao Qingxuan instinctively wanted to move toward Ye Luqing, but was stopped by those panicked eyes.
“Her soul is indeed Ye Luqing’s, without a doubt. No matter how much a person’s soul changes, there will always be a core resonance between body and soul,” Bai Yuhan said.
“If someone else had possessed her, there would be the slightest fracture between soul and body.”
As an Array Master at the Combined Dao Realm, she could see the signs of possession at a glance.
“Luqing’s soul and body are in complete harmony. There is no possibility of possession,” Bai Yuhan hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly, “It’s just that…”
“Her soul is too pure—she truly has lost her previous memories.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingxuan quickly said,
“Vice Sect Master Bai, please, lend your aid and help restore Ah Qing’s memory!”
Bai Yuhan sighed.
“Matters of memory are far too complex, and the way we use spiritual power in Array Arts is different altogether.”
If casting an array was like bold, sweeping strokes of a brush, then repairing memories was like painstakingly carving with a fine brush.
“Her cultivation has fallen from the previous Nascent Soul Realm to the Golden Core Realm. I suspect the problem lies with her primordial spirit.”
“In this matter, I’m afraid I am powerless as well…”
At these words, Xiao Qingxuan felt as if struck by lightning, and staggered back half a step in disbelief.
“No, that’s impossible.”
She struggled to control her emotions, suddenly rushing forward to grab Ye Luqing by the shoulders.
“Ah Qing… Ah Qing would never forget me!”

“It hurts…”
A flash of pain crossed Ye Luqing’s face.
Feeling her beloved’s trembling body, Xiao Qingxuan jerked her hand back as if shocked by lightning, suddenly at a loss.
“Ah Qing, I-I didn’t mean…”
Bai Yuhan sighed softly from the side, glancing at Xiao Qingxuan with a hint of pity.
“Luqing is my Personal Disciple. Biluofeng will take good care of her.”
Bai Yuhan turned her head.
“Xiao He, take Luqing back first.”
“Yes.”
Bai He stepped forward, her tone gentle, and lightly patted Ye Luqing’s head with a soft touch.
“Junior Sister, come back with me for now.”
“Take a rest first. Senior Sister will introduce you to the other disciples of Biluofeng.”
Currently, Biluofeng had three Personal Disciples: she was Grandmaster Sister, Ye Luqing was Second Senior Sister, and there was also a little Junior Sister.
Aside from the Personal Disciples, Biluofeng also had many Inner Sect and Outer Sect Disciples.
Although Ye Luqing was a Personal Disciple of Biluofeng, she had spent most of her time with Xiao Qingxuan of Heavenly Sword Peak, so most disciples had never seen her.
Ye Luqing looked up at the gentle and reliable Bai He. Just as she was about to keep up her act of amnesia, a sudden idea flashed through her mind.
“Mm… Thank you, Senior Sister.”
She stood up, holding Bai He’s hand.
Her delicate face was as shy as a peach blossom, her jade-like nose tinged with red, and brilliant green eyes shimmered with a hint of hope.
In the instant she met those blue-green eyes, Bai He’s breath caught. She had never seen Ye Luqing show such a lovable expression.
Even as Biluofeng’s Grandmaster Sister, she had only seen Ye Luqing a handful of times, and each time Ye Luqing was always in a hurry.
With such beauty, it was no wonder she could make Heavenly Sword Peak’s Iceberg Fairy fall so deeply for her.
“Come on, I’ll show you how to use Yuqi Flight.”
“Mm.” Ye Luqing replied with a sweet smile.
Xiao Qingxuan felt her heart tighten as she watched Ye Luqing being led out of the cave by Bai He.
She subconsciously reached out, wanting to touch her, but her body felt as heavy as lead, afraid of frightening Ye Luqing again.
Why?
Why is Ah Qing so afraid of me, yet willing to leave with Bai He?
Before, Ah Qing wouldn’t let anyone but her get close—she would only cling to her.
A chill came over her for no reason, leaving her whole body cold, unable to drive it away.
Xiao Qingxuan’s hand dropped weakly, her head hanging low.
“Ah Qing…”
Bai Yuhan shook her head almost imperceptibly, her arms lifting the southern hemisphere, her proud white jade orbs filling her gauzy robe to the brim.
As Ye Luqing’s master, and the lover of Xiao Qingxuan’s master, she usually paid close attention to these two children.
The year Ye Luqing joined the sect, Biluofeng only accepted her as a Personal Disciple.
At that time, Grandmaster Sister Bai He was preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and had no time to care for the younger disciples, leaving Ye Luqing always alone.
As Vice Sect Master, Bai Yuhan was even busier and could only give the occasional guidance.
So she asked Sect Master Feng Linyi to have Xiao Qingxuan, the Personal Disciple of Heavenly Sword Peak of the same generation, spend more time with Ye Luqing.
After these two children spent years together day and night, now that something like this had happened, she could understand Xiao Qingxuan’s feelings.
“Qingxuan, return to Heavenly Sword Peak for now.”
“I’ve already contacted an Elder of Dan Ding Peak. They’ll come tomorrow to examine her and stabilize Luqing’s soul.”
“As for restoring her memories… I’m sorry, but there may be no one in Xuanxiao Supreme Sect who can do that right now.”
As one of the thirty-six Supreme Sects among the top forces, Xuanxiao Supreme Sect had three Dao Sovereigns at the Combined Dao Realm, but none specialized in matters of the soul.
As a Dao Sovereign on the path of Array Arts, Bai Yuhan’s mastery of spiritual power was the strongest in the sect.
If even she was helpless, not to mention the Dan Ding Peak Elder—even if the Peak Master of Dan Ding Peak came, it would be of no use.
Just as Bai Yuhan was about to leave, she suddenly heard a thud behind her.
She turned to see Xiao Qingxuan kneeling directly on the ground.
“Master Uncle Bai!”
“Ah Qing’s soul was damaged and she lost her memory—it was all because of me.”
“I beg you, please contact the Illusory God Sect for me. They might have a way to restore her memory!”
Seeing Xiao Qingxuan kneeling and refusing to get up, Bai Yuhan felt a trace of pity.
“This was mainly due to the Soul-Slaying Sect Magic Cultivators’ sinister methods. Given your temperament, you’ve already done very well.”
She naturally knew that Ye Luqing had lost her memory to cover Xiao Qingxuan’s retreat, but Xiao Qingxuan, with only half a step into the Nascent Soul Realm, had managed to kill a Nascent Soul Realm Elder of the Soul-Slaying Sect—a great achievement.
Afterward, to avenge Ye Luqing, she killed all the Magic Cultivators who had harmed Ye Luqing.
As someone who had watched Xiao Qingxuan grow step by step, Bai Yuhan naturally knew what kind of person she was.
Indifferent, emotionless, caring about nothing but discussing Sword Dao, cultivating to become stronger, or sect duties—a perfect candidate for cultivating the Emotionless Sword Dao.
Looking at Xiao Qingxuan, Bai Yuhan couldn’t help but think of Feng Linyi from centuries ago.
Those two master and disciple—truly, they were alike.
“Sigh…”
“The Grand Elder is guarding the sect core, and your master is in seclusion.”
“I must remain here to oversee the sect, so I can’t go myself. But I’ll put in a word with the Illusory God Sect for you.”
“The Illusory God Sect and your master have a poor relationship—one could even say it’s hostile. Remember, if anything happens, your own safety must come first.”
The Illusory God Sect, like Xuanxiao Supreme Sect, was a top-tier force, but the Illusory God Sect only had one Dao Sovereign at the Combined Dao Realm, ranking among the seventy-two lower Supreme Sects, slightly below Xuanxiao Supreme Sect.
Aside from the Soul-Slaying Sect of the demonic path, the Illusory God Sect was indeed the sect most skilled in soul arts among the Righteous Sects.
Xiao Qingxuan nodded. She knew that the senior generation of Xuanxiao Supreme Sect and the Illusory God Sect did not get along, but if she wanted to recover Ye Luqing’s memories, she could only rely on their strength.
“Master Uncle Bai, back then… how did my master offend the Illusory God Sect?” Xiao Qingxuan asked.
They were all righteous sects, both top-tier forces, and old grudges among seniors rarely affected the younger generation.
It would be best to know the origin of the matter, so as not to inadvertently offend the Illusory God Sect when the time came.
