The sky was already dark. Shi Hao came to the riverside alone, and looked at the full but also not full moon. His heart was filled with many emotions. Su Xiao seemed to have lost a lot of memories for some reason, almost all memories related to Shi Hao! Su Xiao no longer recognized Blowing Wind Left A Passion, and she also didn’t remember that she had a boyfriend, Shi Hao.
The night got darker and darker, and Shi Hao gradually grasped the anomaly here. This game was definitely not simple! Not only could it forcibly seal someone, making it impossible to even go offline, but it could also make people lose their memories. Perhaps, this game still conceals bigger unknown effects, and governments were vying for it because of those effects.
Shi Hao’s thoughts were getting farther and farther. Suddenly, a strange figure was beside Shi Hao. No one knew when he had appeared here. The only thing that could be known was his fluttering white robe and a jade pendant hanging on his waist.
That man patted Shi Hao’s shoulder and said: “Brother Shi, haha, do you recognize me?”
Shi Hao was startled and hastily took three steps back. He only relaxed a bit after looking over. From that person’s tone, he was definitely a player, moreover, his profession should be a strategist for certain. Otherwise, with such refined equipment, it would be very surprising if he wasn’t a frail scholar-like strategist. Shi Hao wouldn’t believe it if someone said otherwise.
Since he was a strategist player, it could be assumed that he wouldn’t pose too big of a threat to Shi Hao.
Shi Hao, however, frowned. At this moment, he was clearly in the appearance of Blowing Wind Left A Passion, but this person called him ‘Brother Shi’. Obviously, the implication was self-evident!
Shi Hao pondered for a moment, calculated carefully, then sighed and asked: “Brother Red Autumn Leaf, you deceived me pretty good. As matters stand, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”
The explanation Shi Hao wanted to hear was naturally not how Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng manipulated the entire incident. He truly didn’t know these inside stories. However, what he truly wanted to ask was the reason for Su Xiao’s memory loss. This issue was absolutely not a small problem for Shi Hao!
Upon hearing Shi Hao’s words, that person just smiled and said nothing. He then looked up at the nearly full moon, walked beside the river for a long time and threw a stone, causing ripples.
Finally, that person said with a smile: “Brother Shi is truly intelligent. This Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng admires you!” Yes, he was Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng: “As for Lady Xiao, I also can’t help it. I fear she was sealed for a bit too long, causing some accidents with her real body in the real world. However, I believe that as long as she continues to improve in the game, her memories would be restored, sooner or later.”
Shi Hao was dumbfounded. He obviously hadn’t talked about Su Xiao’s condition, but Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng already knew it. And if he had said that this was a normal state after dispelling the seal, then that was also fine. However, Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng said that it was an accident. This was worth pondering deeper!
At least, one thing was certain. Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng was secretly watching Shi Hao’s every action for certain.
At this moment, Shi Hao’s expression was a bit gloomy. He couldn’t figure out the origin of Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng, but even more couldn’t understand whether Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng was an enemy or a friend. Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng also saw through Shi Hao’s worries. In his plan, Shi Hao was an indispensable core figure.
Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng smiled again. This smile was soft and gentle, which could make it hard for people to refuse his request. He spread open a fan and waved it a few times, looking like a refined scholar. Afterward, he sat on clean rock and slowly said: “Brother Shi, I have truly been paying close attention to you. Whether you change into Blowing Wind Left A Passion or you go to the Seafloor World, I know all these things. Therefore, it’s not an exaggeration to say that I’m perfectly clear about Lady Xiao’s situation.”
Shi Hao walked over and continued to listen carefully in earnest. After all, even though Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng knew so many secrets, he didn’t reveal them like Heroic Overlord Under Heaven. This was enough reason for Shi Hao to listen to Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng’s words patiently.
Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng continued: “Believe me, sooner or later, Lady Xiao’s memories will be restored. I believe, with Brother Shi’s wisdom, you have already noticed that this game is absolutely not as simple as it seems on the surface. That’s right! This game can directly affect the real body in the real world. The stronger you become in the <<Kingdom>>, the more obvious the physical strengthening effect in the real body of the real world. It’s not an exaggeration to say that if you become <<Kingdom>>’s overlord, then being able to live for over a thousand years in the real world is also not a vain dream.”
Shi Hao was quiet… He knew that Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng’s words should be true. It was also something he had guessed before. However, he became more and more curious about Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng’s background now. It was obvious that Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng had not known this fact just recently. It seemed like he had already seen everything in this game! So, who was he? How did he have such an all-encompassing power?
Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng had no intention to explain more to Shi Hao. He just laughed and left. Just before leaving, he added: “Say hello to Fa Zheng for me, he and I are considered old acquaintances…” Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng’s voice echoed in Shi Hao’s ears. It seemed somewhat familiar, but also very unfamiliar.
At this moment, Shi Hao knew how Fa Zheng knew the entire West Flower Region as the palm of his hand. Perhaps, that was Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng’s masterpiece! Like this, it seemed like Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng was helping Shi Hao. Shi Hao believed that Red Autumn Leaf Bai Xiaosheng shouldn’t be regarded as an enemy, could at least be counted as half-friends.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Shi Hao also no longer struggled with these distracting things.
Since Su Xiao’s lost memories would be restored sooner or later, it was enough to keep her beside him. Hereafter, contacting Su Xiao often with the identity of Blowing Wind Left A Passion was also not a bad thing. Shi Hao’s current goal was also very simple! Win <<Kingdom>>, and make Su Xiao the empress of this world after her memories were restored. In his eyes, only the status of the empress was worthy of Su Xiao’s grandeur. Except for Su Xiao, this kind of single-minded and kind-hearted matchless beauty, the position of empress couldn’t tolerate other people.
For this, no matter how many difficulties he had to face, Shi Hao would lead everyone in Twin Dragons Village to go forward.
Shi Hao returned to the campfire where Pei Yuanqing and others were resting…
A few days later, Twin Dragons Village welcomed a joyous day.
On this day, Shi Hao’s group had already returned to the village, and Passionate Archer formally announced to join Twin Dragons Village. He admired Twin Dragons Village’s Blowing Wind Left A Passion for giving up Yewen Chengdu for Dawn Breaks Stars Sink. Moreover, he also knew that after Yuwen Chengdu joined Heavenly Dragon Village, he would definitely go against Twin Dragons Village. He still remembers his defeat against Yuwen Chengdu!
Naturally, there were also emotional reasons for Passionate Archer to decide to stay in Twin Dragons Village. After all, Dawn Breaks Stars Sink was also staying in Twin Dragons Village, becoming the village resident. Although she had lost all memories of Shi Hao, she was still intelligent as usual. She understood that she couldn’t find a more amazing place than Twin Dragons Village. Therefore, when Blowing Wind Left A Passion formally invited her to stay in Twin Dragons Village, she didn’t refuse. She couldn’t remember Shi Hao, but she still remembered her family. She could bring a lot of benefits to her family by staying here.
In addition to the recruitment of two heavyweights, the most critical matter was, upgrading to town…
