Jiang Yue faintly woke up and turned around. She rubbed her swollen head and looked around blankly.
"Senior Sister Jiang, are you awake?"
"Junior brother Lin, where is this place? Why am I here?"
"Senior Sister Jiang, this is Yinpinggou, and our mission location is here."
"Yinpinggou? I remember, we killed a group of casual cultivators, and then rushed all the way here, and then..."
"I can't remember. I only remember this much."
Seeing that Jiang Yue was a little excited, Lin Fan hurriedly comforted him: "Senior sister, don't worry. From what you said, you just don't remember what happened in the past few days."
"Speaking of which, it's all my fault. I failed to protect my senior sister in time, so my senior sister was beaten unconscious."
This was the first time Jiang Yue was comforted by Lin Fan. The feeling of being comforted by her sweetheart was really too warm.
So much so that she simply forgot about the matter of losing her memory for a few days, and happily enjoyed the world between the two of them with Junior Brother Lin.
After Lin Fan chatted with Jiang Yue some more, he finally confirmed that the other party must have really forgotten what happened in the past few days.
After all, he knew Jiang Yue relatively well, and there was no way he could hide anything on his face. If there was a problem, he would have discovered it long ago.
It's really dangerous to say that this is also the first time he has used this memory-altering technique.
Originally, he only wanted to retrieve his memory of the last two days, but who knows how many more days were erased.
Fortunately, the problem is not big and within the acceptable range.
It's just that he still has to give an explanation to the other party about where Sun Qian has gone. In this way, if other people ask, they can have a unified explanation.
"Senior Sister Jiang, there is something I have to tell you."
"What's going on?"
"It's about Senior Brother Sun Qian."
"Ah? If junior brother didn't mention it, I almost forgot. Speaking of which, didn't senior brother Sun come to Yinpinggou with us? Where did he go?"
"I was about to tell my senior sister about this matter, and what day..."
Lin Fan would slowly tell Jiang Yue the plot he had compiled in advance.
To put it simply, two days ago, the three of them were hunting poisonous toads, and suddenly they encountered a sneak attack by a large number of casual cultivators.
Due to the large number of opponents, the three of them could not defeat them and had no choice but to escape.
At that time, he only focused on escaping with Senior Sister Jiang, so that he and Senior Brother Sun Qian became separated. As a result, there was no trace of the other party, and he did not know whether the other party was alive or dead.
However, Jiang Yue heard the implication from these words and said, "Junior brother Lin is saying that in order to survive, senior brother Sun left us and ran away alone?"
"Although you are right, you can't blame Senior Brother Sun after all. After all, the opponent had a large number of people at that time." Lin Fan said and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Junior Brother Lin, what's wrong with you!" Jiang Yue quickly asked with concern.
"I suffered some internal injuries while protecting my senior sister. Don't worry, I won't die for the time being."
"How abominable! This damn coward named Sun! Junior Brother Lin, you are like this, and you still say good things to that coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
"I still don't understand what that person named Sun is thinking. I'm afraid he deliberately left you and me behind to increase his chances of survival."
"This person named Sun had better die in the hands of that group of rogue cultivators, otherwise this girl will never be done with him!"
"Then are we still here waiting for Senior Brother Sun Qian?"
"What are you waiting for! There are only a few days until the end of the mission. Besides, is this guy named Sun worthy of us waiting?"
"Junior brother, didn't I say before that we have collected the thirty poison sacs required for the mission? Let's get up and return now."
"Okay, senior sister, please calm down. Let me clean up and we'll set off now."
Along the way, Lin Fan made insinuating remarks, saying that if something happened to Senior Brother Sun Qian, the Sun family would probably cause trouble for him.
Regarding this point, Jiang Yue said with all her heart to let Lin Fan relax.
She would not tell anyone that she had lost the memory of the past few days, but would say that she watched Senior Brother Sun Qian abandon the two of them with her own eyes, and Junior Brother Lin was even injured.
After hearing this, Lin Fan no longer had any worries in his heart.
Even if the Sun family wanted to investigate afterwards, they would be in trouble.
After all, it is a rule set by the Upper House of the Blood Demon Sect that it is not allowed to track down and hunt rogue cultivators.
Although the Sun family is a Zifu family, in front of such a behemoth as the Blood Demon Sect, they are as small as a grain of sand.
Even if you give the other party ten courages, they won't dare to violate the rules.
However, the other party will definitely conduct some investigation in private. But with Senior Sister Jiang's testimony, no matter how the other party investigates, they will never do anything to him.
…
Deputy Guanzhu Jiang stood on the bow deck of the ship, looking into the distance anxiously.
Although he had full confidence in Lin Fan, after all, it was about his daughter's life and death, so it would be a lie to say he wasn't worried.
Furthermore, there are only two days left before the mission deadline. If Jiang Yue and his party fail to return as scheduled, the mission will be a failure even if their lives are saved.
After all, he is also the deputy protagonist. If his daughter cannot pass the test, it will be embarrassing and embarrassing.
As the figures of Jiang Yue and Lin Fan appeared in the distance, the worry on his face disappeared instantly, and his expression changed to a serious one again.
"Father, my daughter has completed her mission and is back!"
"Didn't you tell me that you should address me as the Vice-President in front of outsiders?"
"Oh...I know, Deputy Temple Master Jiang."
"Why are you two the only ones back? What about Sun Qian?"
"Speaking of the one named Sun..."
Jiang Yue poured out the information that Lin Fan had imparted to him, and spoke to Master Jiang as if it was a bitter experience.
After hearing this, Assistant Temple Master Jiang's eyebrows jumped, and he looked at Lin Fan aside and said, "So, Sun Qian got separated from you. Do you have anything else to add?"
"Senior Sister Jiang's words are accurate. Disciple has nothing to add."
After listening to this, Deputy Guanzhu Jiang felt that this matter was a little strange.
But he didn't care whether Sun Qian lived or died. Now that his daughter had completed her mission and returned safely, he didn't bother to get to the bottom of it.
"Okay, you are tired from the journey. Hurry in and find the deacon and hand over the mission items, then go to the room to rest."
"Disciple resigns."
As soon as Lin Fan took a step forward, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Deputy Guanzhu Jiang giving him a wink.
The other party's meaning is obvious, that is, there are still things to discuss with him in private.
There are only three of them here now, and Deputy Temple Master Jiang is still so secretive. It is obvious that she does not want Jiang Yue to know about this meeting.
Lin Fan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and followed Jiang Yue into the cabin.
After the two handed over the mission items, Jiang Yue originally wanted to take Lin Fan to the bow of the ship to see the scenery, but the other party refused directly on the grounds that he was sick and needed recuperation.
"Damn it! I can't spend more time with you." Looking at the other person's leaving figure, Jiang Yue bit her lips and said.
What she didn't know was that Lin Fan seemed to be going back to his residence on the second floor, but in fact, as soon as he was out of her sight, he immediately walked towards Deputy Guanzhu Jiang's room.
