Just as Sima Chuan was about to get up, he felt himself being lifted off the ground. Before he could comprehend the situation, he was kicked to the edge of the Arena. Gasps erupted from the audience, and even Hong Chen was astonished. "Is this really the Mengqi I know? She has such strength."
The one who had put Sima Chuan in such a predicament was none other than Luo Mengqi. Seeing Sima Chuan in this state, Luo Mengqi casually remarked, "Hmph, this is what you get for not remembering me."
Sima Chuan got back on his feet and stretched as if nothing had happened. "Looks like I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be this strong. From now on, I'll take this seriously; you better be ready."
Luo Mengqi scoffed, "You should worry about yourself. Just show me everything you've got and let me see how you've improved."
Watching Sima Chuan stretch, Shang Qiong grew concerned. "What's wrong with Sima Chuan? Is he okay? He hasn't hurt his head, has he?"
Liu Chuan was visibly excited. "Sima Chuan is about to unleash his power." He turned to Liu Feng and said, "Liu Feng, it's going to be quite a show; make sure to record it."
Liu Feng replied with a hint of excitement in his voice, "Don't worry; I've been recording all along."
Without any hesitation, Luo Mengqi dashed toward Sima Chuan and thrust her knee forward. Just as Sima Chuan was about to block her attack, Luo Mengqi suddenly retracted her leg and threw a punch at Sima Chuan's head from the side. Her fist carried immense force, creating a gust of wind that ruffled Sima Chuan's hair. However, just as her fist was about to connect with Sima Chuan's head, a hand shot out and blocked her punch. Sima Chuan smiled slightly and countered with a punch of his own, sending Luo Mengqi stumbling back a few steps.
Luo Mengqi steadied herself and increased her power slightly. With a smile, she said, "At this rate, we won't know when we'll determine the winner. How about this: whoever gets knocked out first loses."
As soon as Sima Chuan agreed, Luo Mengqi launched another attack at him. Sima Chuan calmly responded with a simple word: "Carefree," as he began to defend against Luo Mengqi's strikes while occasionally counterattacking.
After nearly an hour of intense exchanges, Sima Chuan finally forced Luo Mengqi out of the ring, concluding their fierce match. The crowd erupted in cheers.
"Now can we talk?" Sima Chuan approached Luo Mengqi. She brushed off the dirt from her clothes and smiled, "Let's find a quieter place; then I’ll tell you everything slowly."
Sima Chuan and Luo Mengqi made their way to a more secluded area.
Luo Mengqi took her time and asked Sima Chuan, "So, what do you want to know?"
Sima Chuan replied straightforwardly, "Tell me everything you know."
"That works too," Luo Mengqi paused and looked at Sima Chuan intently.
"What are you thinking?"
Luo Mengqi smiled smugly, as if she was about to succeed in something she had planned. "You have to agree to one condition before I can tell you everything I know. Otherwise..."
"I'll agree to any condition, as long as you tell me what you know," Sima Chuan said, seemingly overwhelmed by the desire to learn everything about himself, but he soon realized he might have been tricked.
"As long as you promise to listen to me from now on, I'll tell you what I know," Luo Mengqi said with a mischievous grin. "Otherwise, I'll just let you remember on your own."
Sima Chuan hesitated, falling silent. Luo Mengqi walked over and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, I won't make you do anything bad."
Sima Chuan exhaled deeply and said, "I agree."
"Then listen carefully!" As soon as Luo Mengqi finished speaking, her expression turned serious. "You have always been an orphan..." She noticed Sima Chuan's face darken with sadness and surprise, but he understood that Luo Mengqi was being sincere.
"Although this is painful for you now, I must say it because you are not alone anymore."
"I understand," Sima Chuan nodded earnestly.
Luo Mengqi looked at Sima Chuan again and saw that he was okay, so she continued, "You love freedom, which is why you didn't go to an orphanage like other orphans. Instead, you chose to wander alone. As for your wandering experiences, I don't know."
"It's fine; just tell me what you know."
Luo Mengqi wanted to continue, but just then, a voice interrupted her thoughts.
Shang Qiong came running over while shouting, followed by five others—naturally Liu Chuan and the rest. When Shang Qiong reached Sima Chuan's side, she spun him around while glancing at him curiously. This made Sima Chuan feel a bit awkward. "Sima Chuan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Sima Chuan casually replied to Shang Qiong's question and intended to send her back. At that moment, Shang Qiong noticed Luo Mengqi and asked Sima Chuan in a questioning tone typical of a girlfriend, "Who is she?"
Seeing the hostility in Shang Qiong's eyes, Luo Mengqi didn't wait for Sima Chuan to explain; she took the initiative and said in a very assertive tone, "I'm his girlfriend."
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone was stunned, including Sima Chuan, who stared blankly at Luo Mengqi. At that moment, Yiling and the others rushed over, sensing the atmosphere and thinking to themselves, "This is going to be interesting!" They ran over and pulled at Sima Chuan. "Brother-in-law, are you okay? Do you know how worried my sister has been? She's been looking for you non-stop, afraid something happened to you. Ever since that incident, my sister has regretted it so much. She often tells me that if she had known, she wouldn't have argued with you; otherwise, you wouldn't have fallen into the river. But now that we see you're fine, we can all relax and be together again."
With Yiling's words, those who were skeptical began to believe at least half of it.
Luo Mengqi shook her head inwardly. "This Yiling really knows how to spin a tale; how can she make everything sound so real?"
Shang Qiong still seemed a bit doubtful and wanted Sima Chuan to give a definite answer. "Sima Chuan, is it true?"
Sima Chuan looked at Shang Qiong, then at Yiling, and finally at Luo Mengqi, feeling uncertain inside. "What should I say?"
Seeing Sima Chuan's silence, Shang Qiong felt a bit disappointed but still shook his arm with a pitiful look in her eyes. "Is it true or not?"
Suddenly, an idea struck Sima Chuan. He scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly. "I mean, I lost my memory, so I don't remember much."
Yiling might have guessed that Sima Chuan would respond this way because she immediately said, "Brother-in-law, so you really lost your memory? Where are you staying now? Let's go visit you properly."
"Sure." Sima Chuan had no other choice but to agree.
