Suddenly regaining her memories, Ji Yunxi's mind was in a complete mess.
Images rushed chaotically into her mind without any order.
Ji Yunxi retrieved the memories of each of her past lives. It seemed that no matter what she became, Feng Xingzhi would always remember her and find her accurately.
He had always retained his previous memories, as if he were immortal, waiting for her return.
However, sadly, she and Feng Xingzhi had never had a good ending in their nine past lives.
Ji Yunxi couldn't suppress the bitterness welling up in her heart. How was she going to leave him this time?
Would he still remember her in the next life?
As Ji Yunxi was pondering, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure in her memories.
It was a person who had always followed her and Feng Xingzhi through the years.
Jiang Yaoji.
She suddenly understood why she had felt a sense of familiarity when she saw Jiang Yaoji in the Feng Prince's Mansion before. She had always felt as if she had met her somewhere.
Now that she thought about it, of course she had met her!
Because in every life, Jiang Yaoji would always appear beside Feng Xingzhi, like a ghost, always following him.
As time ticked by, the three people outside the door paced back and forth, not daring to go far.
Feng Xingzhi was worried. Just now, Ji Yunxi had seemed so strange that it scared him.
Back then, when Feng Jiangming told him that he could marry Ji Yunxi, he thought he had used up all his luck. Even if Ji Yunxi didn't like him, it didn't matter. He would still guard and protect her well.
But now, there was already a bond between them that went beyond the imperial edict. Yet, Ji Yunxi had just remembered the past.
And this was something he, Feng Xingzhi, couldn't remember!
Thinking of Ji Yunxi caressing his cheek just now and saying, "You've finally forgotten me," Feng Xingzhi couldn't help but go crazy. What on earth had he forgotten!
What if Xi Xi never wanted to get close to him again in the future?
Feng Xingzhi was always steady, but at this moment, he was completely flustered. He stood in front of the door several times but didn't dare to knock and go in.
An hour passed, and there was still no movement from Ji Yunxi.
Feng Xingzhi mustered up the courage to knock on the door. "Xi Xi, are you okay?"
This time, Ji Yunxi didn't stop him. Instead, she calmly let him in.
Hearing this, Lu Shu also wanted to go in, but Qing Xuan stopped him. "What are you going in for?"
"Didn't the pavilion master say we could go in?"
Qing Xuan looked at him with a look of hatred for his lack of understanding. "You really don't understand the ways of love. Is this the time for you to go in?!"
Lu Shu seemed to understand. He felt a bit embarrassed. He hadn't seen the pavilion master for a long time, and he had gotten too excited for a moment.
"Got it, got it! You're the one who knows everything."
Feng Xingzhi pushed open the door. The person on the couch still looked as cold and aloof as ever. Even when she saw him come in, there was no trace of the joy and dependence she used to have.
Feng Xingzhi felt a pang in his heart. He wanted to back away but still persevered. He thought that even if Ji Yunxi wanted to end their relationship today, he, Feng Xingzhi, would accept it. But there were some things he must let her know.
He quickly sat down beside Ji Yunxi. Before she could say anything, Feng Xingzhi said, "Xi Xi, I know I've forgotten what we've been through, but I'll find a way to recall it. Please don't give up on me."
Ji Yunxi saw the panic in Feng Xingzhi's eyes. She felt heartache and instinctively reached out her hand.
Seeing this, Feng Xingzhi grabbed her hand. "Lu Shu said you're Jiang Yunxi, but no matter who you are, my feelings for you will never change."
Ji Yunxi was taken aback. She didn't know whether to nod or refuse, so she could only remain silent.
Was the current Feng Xingzhi still the same as before?
Seeing her silence, Feng Xingzhi felt a bit disappointed. He slightly withdrew his eager gaze. "There's one more thing. Now that your memories have returned and you remember everything, if you want to manage the Dream Elegance Pavilion yourself, I'll hand it back to you right away. If you're not in the mood to manage it for now, I'll be so bold as to continue managing it on your behalf."
Only then did Ji Yunxi understand why the Seven - Leaf Divination Star Fruit had ended up in her hands so smoothly.
It turned out that Feng Xingzhi was the mastermind behind the Dream Elegance Pavilion.
Thinking of the day in the Feng Prince's Mansion when Feng Xingzhi didn't give Jiang Yaoji any face at all, Ji Yunxi's gloomy mood improved a bit.
She held Feng Xingzhi's hand back. Her tone was no longer as cold as before. "I have other things to do. I'm very relieved to leave the Dream Elegance Pavilion to you. I'll have to trouble you."
Feng Xingzhi's hand stiffened. It took him a while to feel the warmth of Ji Yunxi's hand holding his.
The uneasiness in his heart eased a bit. His body unconsciously leaned towards Ji Yunxi.
Although they had known each other for several lifetimes, Ji Yunxi still felt a bit shy. But when she thought of Feng Xingzhi's hurt eyes, she couldn't bear to leave. So they leaned against each other like this.
Lu Shu and Qing Xuan obediently waited outside the door until Ji Yunxi called them in.
As soon as they sat down, Ji Yunxi asked about the matter between Feng Xingzhi and Lu Shu.
"A Shu, how did you recognize A Zhi?"
Lu Shu said, "Actually, I wasn't by the master's side from the very beginning. When I found the master, he was already ten years old. At that time, the master was weak and sickly, and his spiritual power was very low. He was so frail that I thought he might not have much time left in this life."
Hearing this, Ji Yunxi looked at Feng Xingzhi with a bit of heartache. He gently stroked the back of Ji Yunxi's hand with his thumb. "I'm okay."
Now Lu Shu thought the affection between Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi was very pleasing to the eye. He completely forgot who the one who had been shouting before was.
"In order to protect the master, I could only secretly teach him cultivation techniques with my people. We claimed that he was in seclusion to recuperate from his illness. It was only in the past two years that the master's health improved, and I gradually let him take over the affairs of the Dream Elegance Pavilion."
Qing Xuan understood and directly pointed out the matter of the bidding.
"So the Seven - Leaf Divination Star Fruit was also arranged by Feng Xingzhi in advance?"
Feng Xingzhi seemed not to care and slightly nodded. "I arranged it."
Qing Xuan didn't understand. Since Feng Xingzhi was equivalent to the master of the Dream Elegance Pavilion, wouldn't it be more convenient to just give it to Ji Yunxi directly? It would also save them from attracting Jiang Yaoji.
"Why didn't you just give it to the master?"
There seemed to be a bit of dissatisfaction in Qing Xuan's tone. Lu Shu immediately retorted, "What do you know!"
Feng Xingzhi seemed afraid that Ji Yunxi would misunderstand. He quickly explained, "At that time, I was afraid that revealing my identity would be disadvantageous to you, so I could only use the method of bidding."
Ji Yunxi understood. No matter how many lifetimes had passed, Feng Xingzhi's feelings for her would never change.
Looking at him, Ji Yunxi was filled with mixed emotions. "A Zhi, thank you."
This word of thanks was not only for the antidote he had given her but also for his years of waiting and his years of preference.
Feng Xingzhi's eyes were gentle. He gently lifted Ji Yunxi's hand.
"Between you and me, there's no need to say thank you."
