Chapter 1878 - 687: Inside Hualong Hall

Hualong Hall!

Di Wu Jing looked at these twelve chairs, supporting his chin with one hand, his brow slightly furrowed.

The chairs were vacant, and the splendor of yesterday was nowhere to be seen.

Even when all twelve chairs were occupied, the core was only the few people at the front.

But the atmosphere was ultimately different.

Especially the third chair...

Though it was left vacant for years.

Yet he always knew Dongmen Yong was in Donghuang.

But now, they are truly separated by Yin Yang.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh.

Then he heard a woman’s voice coming from another side:

"Why is Old fifth so sentimental?

"Sitting here and sighing, it doesn’t seem like your style...

"Or does one get nostalgic as they grow old?

"Able to shed bitter tears just by gazing at a chair?"

Di Wu Jing didn’t lift his head and knew it was Fourth Shock.

Immediately, he didn’t raise his head, just let out a cold laugh:

"Little girl, stop looking for fun at my expense.

"As if you remember what my style is.

"Sigh...

"Old third left suddenly, I feel uncomfortable inside."

"When you were little, Old third once held you in his arms and took you to buy candied haws."

"You’ve forgotten these things, but this affection shouldn’t be forgotten."

"Is there really anything in this world that can’t be forgotten?"

The woman’s voice was ethereal:

"The more you forget, the more you gain.

"This is something you will never understand."

Di Wu Jing only then raised his head to look at a chair on the left side.

On it sat a woman dressed entirely in plain clothes.

On her face was also a simple white half-mask.

Her voice was cold, as if she had never partaken in earthly affairs.

The pupils at the mask’s eye positions were full of emptiness.

As if she was about to speak forgetful words when opened her mouth.

Di Wu Jing scanned her with his gaze:

"At what realm have you cultivated your ’Sitting Forget Jade Heart Scripture’?"

Fourth Shock opened her mouth to speak, but her lips moved for a while before she uttered three words:

"I forgot..."

"Do you still remember your husband?"

Di Wu Jing’s expression was somewhat peculiar.

"I don’t remember."

Fourth Shock shook her head.

"How about your son?"

Di Wu Jing asked again.

"Did I have a son?"

Fourth Shock seemed more puzzled than him.

"No."

Di Wu Jing laughed.

"...I’d say, if I really had a son, how could I possibly forget."

Fourth Shock seemed to sigh with relief.

"But you do have a daughter."

Di Wu Jing shifted the topic abruptly.

"Really?"

Fourth Shock’s eyes widened.

"Tricking you."

Di Wu Jing laughed more heartily.

"...Di Wu Jing, you’ve crossed the line."

Fourth Shock’s eyes darkened, at this moment, how could she not see that Di Wu Jing was teasing her.

Di Wu Jing suddenly spoke astonishing words:

"Actually, you and I are husband and wife."

"You’re lying."

Fourth Shock absolutely didn’t believe it this time.

"...No, this is true."

Di Wu Jing was resolute:

"Years ago, you and I loved each other despite the age difference, though not accepted by the world."

"But as the Jinglong Association, doing things against the norm, when did the eyes of the world ever matter to us?"

"The more shocking, the more reason to do it."

"Afterward, we were together for several years, until you cultivated this Sitting Forget Jade Heart Scripture."

"Only then did you forget all past affairs."

"Although you and I have no offspring, ultimately we were a couple at one time."

"Every time I see you, I cannot help but remind you."

"Alas... it’s a shame, every time you don’t believe."

Di Wu Jing spoke resolutely, his old face filled with melancholy.

Fourth Shock stared blankly.

For a moment, she didn’t know whether to believe or not.

What if she really forgot?

Previously, Di Wu Jing jokingly talked nonsense with her.

The previous words, although sounding plausible, were all false.

The latter words, how unreasonable they sounded.

But what if they’re the truth...

Could it be, she truly had a romance transcending age with him?

Did I turn blind?

Fourth Shock pondered for a while, slowly opened her mouth to speak, but before any words came out, a wave of bewilderment surged in her heart, and the words she spoke turned into:

"What did you just say?"

Di Wu Jing fell silent for a while: "...Forgot again?"

"I can’t remember."

Fourth Shock nodded, but also didn’t care much.

Di Wu Jing then asked:

"Then why did you come here?"

"Forgot."

Fourth Shock said:

"I only know it seems First Shock asked us to come... By the way, where did Old third go?"

"Went to Naihe Bridge."

"He’s dead, huh..."

Fourth Shock nodded.

She glanced at Di Wu Jing again:

"You’ve been longing for him to return from Donghuang, but unexpectedly, he left first before you could meet."

"Why don’t you seem sad?"

"I was sad just now, but you forgot..."

"Really? Don’t lie to me, I have a good memory."

Fourth Shock appeared slightly suspicious.

Di Wu Jing thought for a bit and asked:

"What martial arts did you practice again?"

"...I forgot."

Fourth Shock appeared surprised.

Di Wu Jing chuckled:

"Do you remember your husband?"

"When did I ever marry?"

Fourth Shock was taken aback.

"Ahem."

A sound of coughing arrived.

Seeking the sound.

They saw another person sitting at the other end.

But he was coughing continually.

Coughing so much, his face turned red, as if he couldn’t breathe.

The coughing reached an extreme, and hollow sounds came from his throat.

Only after a massive cough did he slightly pause.

Pointing a finger at Di Wu Jing:

"You... you ahem ahem... stop teasing her..."
