Chapter 16

Uncle Bo brought him, but has been injured all along?

In Ye Wuxie's memory, Uncle Bo was like a father to him, always giving him a broad and deep feeling, with a warm smile always on his lips.

Although Ye Wuxie could not remember anything before he was four years old, he knew that he and Uncle Bo had been to many places. Perhaps, from the time he was an infant, he had been raised by Uncle Bo.

"Uncle Changqing, how serious is Uncle Bo's injury?"

Ye Wuxie finally couldn't help but ask.

Muru Changqing, hearing the urgency in Ye Wuxie's voice, knew the young man's concern for Uncle Bo, and said, "I asked the same question to that person at the time, and I even took out all the healing pills I had, but that person just smiled faintly and shook his head."

"I remember clearly, he said, 'This is an old injury from many years ago. It won't heal, but it won't kill me either. There's no need to worry about it.' This made me pause, but seeing that the person didn't care, I had no choice."

"An old injury from many years ago? It won't heal, but it won't kill him?"

Muru Changqing's words made Ye Wuxie's heart sink. It seemed that many things had indeed happened to Uncle Bo.

"Later, I invited him to be a guest at the Muru family. So, he brought you to the Muru family. At the Muru family, he stayed for more than a month. During this time, you, who had been in a deep sleep, woke up. However, I noticed that you, who were only four years old at the time, had lost your previous memories. But he didn't seem surprised at all. In the end, he entrusted you to the Muru family, left the Blood Dragon Jade, and disappeared one night without leaving you a single word, just like that, vanished without a trace..."

Muru Changqing quietly finished his story about that person. For eleven years, if it weren't for Ye Wuxie's existence, it would seem like a dream, coming and going quietly. No one knew where he had gone or where he had come from. The only one who might know was Ye Wuxie, but this child had lost that memory.

On the surface, Ye Wuxie seemed calm, but his heart was like a storm, unable to calm down for a long time!

The ten years of obsession, and the answer that wasn't really an answer from Muru Changqing, left Ye Wuxie in a state of confusion. Uncle Bo's whereabouts were still a mystery, the old injury, his lost memories, and the sudden departure all tugged at Ye Wuxie's nerves.

"Phew"

Taking a deep breath, he touched his chest, feeling the Blood Dragon Jade and the letter, and the confusion in his heart gradually cleared!

"Uncle Bo, Wuxie will definitely find you!"

Feeling the determination from Ye Wuxie, Muru Changqing sighed inwardly. This child was born with a strong and determined nature, even to the point of being somewhat obsessive. Just like how he had hidden his cultivation for ten years, but suddenly burst out for the Blood Dragon Jade yesterday! If there wasn't some unavoidable hardship and terrifying endurance, how could he have done such a thing?

Even now, Muru Changqing still believed that Ye Wuxie was hiding his cultivation. After all, it was unimaginable for his cultivation to have increased from the fifth level of the Body Tempering stage to the Great Perfection of the Bone Marrow Tempering stage in just a month. It was simply too shocking.

However, this was no longer important. Muru Changqing didn't want to press the issue. He knew that Ye Wuxie had his own thoughts, just like when he had privately arranged the marriage between his daughter, Muru Binglan, and Ye Wuxie, which led to Ye Wuxie seeking to revoke the engagement several times. But he never expected that the engagement would eventually become the catalyst for Ye Wuxie's challenge to Muru Tian.

"Perhaps, Binglan doesn't have that good fortune... Well, let the young people handle their own affairs..."

Having learned what he needed to know, Ye Wuxie left Muru Changqing's room. He needed to sort out everything he knew about Uncle Bo.

Returning to his small house, Ye Wuxie sat alone for a while, and Kong did not disturb him.

"Kong, you said that a single finger could turn three Fifth Realm Qi魄 Realm cultivators into ashes and erase a person's memories. What level of cultivation is required to do such things?"

Ye Wuxie's eyes flashed as he asked the question in his mind.

"Do you remember the old man in yellow next to Jun Shanlie? His cultivation and Qi Shilong's should be at the same level. Both of them have surpassed the seven realms of the Mortal Cleansing stage and reached another level. Both of them can kill three Fifth Realm Qi魄 Realm cultivators with a single finger, but to turn three Fifth Realm Qi魄 Realm cultivators into ashes, even if they were dozens of times stronger, they still couldn't do it. As for erasing a person's memory without causing any harm, that is not something that can be achieved by cultivation alone; it must be a powerful cultivator who has mastered great abilities."

Kong's tone was very certain. He had heard Muru Changqing's words and, now that Ye Wuxie had asked, he naturally shared his thoughts.

Hearing Kong's answer, Ye Wuxie's eyes narrowed, and a series of judgments flashed through his mind.

"Even if the City Lord of Longguang City, Qi Shilong, were dozens of times stronger, he still couldn't do what Uncle Bo did easily. Erasing someone's memory is a terrifying ability, and Uncle Bo could do it easily. This suggests that Uncle Bo is likely an almost invincible cultivator! But even so, Uncle Bo still had an old injury and left me in the care of the Muru family. This suggests that Uncle Bo might be afraid of something. Perhaps there is a more powerful opponent who has been targeting Uncle Bo, which is why he took me, a burden, and fled to many places. This might be an escape."

Thinking this, Ye Wuxie's eyes shone brightly.

"Moreover, if my guess is correct, Uncle Bo must have been very close to my parents. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken me, a burden, with him. So where are my parents now? Are they still alive?"

One thought led to many more.

Solving one problem often leads to more questions. Based on the current information, Ye Wuxie was not entirely sure about his speculations. He needed more information about Uncle Bo to confirm them.

"The Great City War, the Great City War... Will there really be news of Uncle Bo in the First Main City? If there is, no one can stop me!"

At this moment, Ye Wuxie's determination was clear. In his heart, finding Uncle Bo, defeating Jun Shanlie, and uncovering Kong's past were the biggest reasons for his ten years of seclusion and hard cultivation.

Now that there was news of Uncle Bo, he would pursue it relentlessly!

"Hum"

A pale golden Holy Dao Battle Qi flowed out from his body, and his golden-red blood surged. Ye Wuxie entered a state of cultivation once again.

He did not follow Qi Shilong to the Sima family but chose to wait at the Muru family, partly to recover from his injuries and partly to confirm the news about Uncle Bo.

Now that both of these tasks were complete, he fully immersed himself in cultivation, waiting quietly for Qi Shilong to come and pick him up.

Time passed quickly, and a day soon went by.

The next morning, Ye Wuxie left the small house where he had lived for ten years, feeling a faint sense of reluctance. He walked slowly through the Muru family compound, carrying the Seven Stars Dao Cultivation Box on his back.

For ten years, he had been busy with cultivation and had never paid attention to other things. Now, as he was about to leave, he felt a bit melancholic. After all, this was where he had grown up, and this departure gave him a feeling that he might not return for many years.

Ye Wuxie walked slowly, letting the wind mess up his black hair. Soon, he arrived at the small building where Xian'er lived.

He stood there quietly for a while but did not go in. He didn't want to say goodbye to Xian'er, even though he knew she would also be leaving soon.

A true friend is a friend in need, and the same applies to siblings.

"Xian'er, Brother Wuxie will definitely find you."

Ye Wuxie walked away, heading towards the Muru family's training ground.

He didn't know that in that small building, Xian'er was watching his back, her face expressionless, and behind her stood a middle-aged female cultivator.

The woman wore a green water cloud robe, exuding a cold aura, and her face was obscured. She looked at Xian'er and suddenly spoke, her voice hoarse: "Has anyone in the Muru family seen the Ling Girl Rongzhen Ling?"

Her words were devoid of emotion, like ice that had not melted for a thousand years.

Hearing the woman's question, Xian'er's clear eyes showed no emotion, lacking the warmth she had when with Ye Wuxie. She replied calmly, "No."

"Very well, please follow this old servant, Ling Girl."

As she spoke, the woman waved her right hand, and the room flashed with red light, and Xian'er vanished without a trace...

---

At the training ground.

Ye Wuxie stood alone, carrying the dark black long box. Some of the Muru family members were whispering around him, especially the young girls, who looked at Ye Wuxie with shy and regretful eyes.

A graceful figure watched Ye Wuxie from a corner, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions, which eventually turned into a sigh. There was confusion, shock, and a hint of inexplicable regret. Her beautiful face was slightly flushed, and her lips were pursed. It was Muru Binglan...

In another corner, Muru Tian clenched his right hand tightly, his face contorted with extreme anger, and his eyes were filled with venom as he looked at Ye Wuxie.

"Ye Wuxie! Ye Wuxie! You stole the Blood Dragon Jade that belonged to me! You stole the spot that belonged to me! I won't let you off! I won't let you off..."

"Whoosh"

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, a ripple appeared in the sky, and three figures appeared rapidly.

Ye Wuxie looked up and saw that the leading figure was Qi Shilong, followed by a man and a woman. The woman was the Lin family's eldest daughter, Lin Yingluo, whom he had seen during his duel with Muru Tian the day before.

The young man must be the first genius of the Sima family, Sima Ao.

"Hum"

Qi Shilong raised his hand, and Ye Wuxie felt a powerful force lifting him, drawing him closer to the three figures. In an instant, he was standing behind Qi Shilong, next to Lin Yingluo.

Seeing that the three were all present, Qi Shilong laughed and emitted a faint light that enveloped the three of them. They then disappeared from the sight of the Muru family members.

Feeling the strange sensation of being lifted, Ye Wuxie was a bit unfamiliar but suddenly heard a faint, questioning voice from behind: "A guy who hasn't even condensed a Soul Moon, what right does he have to participate in the Great City War with me, Sima Ao?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yingluo's cold eyes flickered, and she glanced at Ye Wuxie, who remained calm as if he hadn't heard anything.
