Ji Yunxi was just about to leave when she suddenly stopped in her tracks, as if struck by a thought.
Feng Xingzhi was indeed from the Wind Clearing Palace. But they had gone to the Cloud Peak Manor together. The woman had seen Feng Xingzhi at that time, yet she had shown no reaction to him.
It was as if she had never met this person before. Ji Yunxi couldn't quite figure out what was going on in that woman's mind for the moment.
Rong Hua saw her complexion alternating between good and bad and felt rather puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just thought of something, but it doesn't seem right." She didn't directly mention Feng Xingzhi's identity. Since Feng Xingzhi hadn't fully recovered yet, if Rong Hua still harbored ill intentions, they would be in danger.
Rong Hua didn't suspect anything and nodded. "Then you two can go. If there are any problems, come to me at any time."
"Okay."
Ji Yunxi turned around and left. When she returned to the room, she saw Feng Xingzhi sitting inside, waiting for her.
"Azhi, are you almost packed?"
Feng Xingzhi pointed to the small bundle on the table. "It's done."
"Only this little?" Ji Yunxi was quite surprised. The bundle was so small. What could it possibly hold?
Feng Xingzhi smiled. "We need to travel light and pick up the pace. If we carry too many things, it'll be difficult to move forward, won't it?"
Ji Yunxi pursed her lips and smiled, not saying anything further. "Azhi, I just went to see Rong Hua. He said that woman might be from the Wind Clearing Palace."
He slightly raised his head. "The Wind Clearing Palace? Why does he say so?"
"I don't know either. But Rong Hua said that this person has a perverse personality. If we want to talk to her or cooperate with her, it's better to have something to do with the Wind Clearing Palace."
Feng Xingzhi pondered for a moment. "I have absolutely no memory of what happened back then. What about you, Xixi? How much do you know about the Wind Clearing Palace back then?"
Ji Yunxi was also in a difficult position. She sighed and sat down. "The trouble is that I don't know much either. Back then, you left in a huff, and I... was angry with you. Naturally, I wouldn't go to your Wind Clearing Palace to make myself uncomfortable. So I don't know who was in the Wind Clearing Palace."
As soon as she said this, both of them felt a bit discouraged.
Feng Xingzhi said with a hint of grievance. "If only I could remember."
Remember...
Ji Yunxi suddenly remembered that there were two strange seals in Feng Xingzhi's body. At first, they thought it was left by Jiang Yaoji when she sealed his memories. But even if there was one seal for that purpose, what was the other one?
"Azhi, do you know there are two seals in your body?"
Feng Xingzhi was extremely surprised. "Seals? When did I have seals in my body?"
"It's true. Back then, when you were injured while saving me, Rong Hua found them when he was treating your wounds. At that time, I guessed that these two seals were related to your amnesia. I wanted Rong Hua to unlock them for you, but he couldn't. Then he was busy treating your wounds, and this matter was forgotten." Ji Yunxi felt a bit guilty for not mentioning this for so long.
"Did he say what these seals were?"
Ji Yunxi shook her head. "Rong Hua didn't know either. Back then, Jiang Yaoji said that she made you lose your memory. I think one of the seals might be related to your amnesia, but the other one... I should have told you earlier. It's all my fault that I forgot such an important thing."
Seeing her blaming herself, Feng Xingzhi reached out and stroked her head. "Don't think too much. I don't think these are bad seals. Otherwise, they should have had some impact by now. Look, I can use my spiritual power normally, and my cultivation is not restricted. Maybe these seals are not bad things."
Ji Yunxi shook her head. "After all, they are foreign things. They can't be good! When we find another supreme god to take a look at you, we must get rid of these potential threats as soon as possible."
The two talked for an entire afternoon. Since they had planned to leave at night, they didn't mind that the sky was getting darker.
After packing up their things and getting ready to set off, Li Jiuge and Ji Yunyi came quietly to see them off.
Before leaving, Ji Yunxi instructed the two of them. "We're about to leave. Brother and Jiuge, you need to cover for us. Try not to let others know that we've gone down the mountain. Even if they know, just say you don't know where we've gone. Try not to expose the Cloud Peak Mountain."
The two knew the importance of this and quickly nodded in agreement.
Ji Yunyi was extremely worried, but he also knew his own capabilities. He could only repeatedly tell his sister to be careful all the way.
After much thought, he pulled Feng Xingzhi aside. "Brother-in-law, I'm on your side now, and I recognize you as my sister's husband. You must protect my sister well, you hear? Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
Feng Xingzhi didn't think that Ji Yunyi was threatening him. He thought that if it were his own sister who was about to take risks now, he would probably be just as worried.
Nodding in agreement, Feng Xingzhi said politely. "Thank you for your recognition, Brother. Don't worry. I will definitely take good care of her, and we'll come back soon."
Ji Yunyi nodded. "That's good."
The two set off on their journey. Ji Yunxi was always curious about what Ji Yunyi had said to Feng Xingzhi and kept pestering him with questions.
"What exactly did Brother say to you?"
"I'm not telling you."
Ji Yunxi rarely saw Feng Xingzhi being so childish and started to act coquettishly. "Fine. You won't tell me even before you've married me. Forget it then."
Saying this, she walked a few steps forward alone. Feng Xingzhi knew that she was just trying to tease him, but the thought of not getting married was really too impactful. He quickly stepped forward. "What could your brother say? It's just telling me to take good care of you, isn't it?"
"What's there that you can't tell me?" Ji Yunxi really thought that Ji Yunyi had said something special. She didn't expect it to be so simple.
She stared at Feng Xingzhi with wide eyes. When she saw the teasing in his eyes, she rolled her eyes at him helplessly. "Why are you always teasing me!"
Feng Xingzhi smiled and reached out to interlace his fingers with hers. "I've seen you frowning these days. I just wanted to make you happy."
Ji Yunxi looked at him and thought that she was really lucky to have met such a person.
Ji Yunxi walked a few steps forward when she suddenly felt something was wrong behind her. It seemed that someone was following them. Just as she was about to call Feng Xingzhi to catch the person together, Feng Xingzhi explained. "Xixi, don't worry. I know that Jiang Yaoji and the Moon Glory Palace have been restless recently, so I arranged for secret guards to follow us a long time ago to keep an eye on anyone who might be tailing us."
Afraid of exposing their identities, they chose small paths all the way and tried their best to avoid people.
To prevent being tracked, they constantly changed their ways of traveling. At every fork in the road, they would change to a second carriage and use the first one to divert people's attention.
This was the most tiring and nerve - wracking journey Ji Yunxi had ever taken, but neither of them dared to slack off in the slightest.
The secret guards followed closely behind and constantly changed shifts to hide their tracks thoroughly.
