Lao Lu felt a surge of determination and impulsively declared, "If you dare to take him away, I will report you. I will report Miss Sang and the Sang Family Remnant, who not only conspire to vindicate the Sang Family but also disregard the duties of a Demon Catcher and consort with demons!"
Lao Lu's words were forceful, yet no one took him as a threat. Sang Qingxiao's gaze toward him grew increasingly cold. Qi Xiaomian whispered to her that this person could not be left alive. Given that he was an old acquaintance of the Sang Family and had established a memorial for them, she had shown him some tolerance.
Understanding his impulsive nature and hidden motives, she planned to let him implicate the Zheng Family before finding an opportunity to erase his memories and send him far away, providing him with a comfortable life afterward. Unfortunately, human greed was insatiable; Cang Xuan's power had ignited his ambitions. It was no wonder his eyes had changed; she initially thought it was due to demonic influence, but it turned out to be his own desires.
Qi Xiaomian suggested, "I can help you take action."
Sang Qingxiao's gaze fell on a nearby wine jar. After their plans had deviated, Lao Lu no longer held any value. He had inadvertently forced Zheng Moru to kill his own kin, which was an unexpected turn of events.
"Why bother with a mere insignificant person?" she thought. "Let's stick to the original plan: erase his memories and replace them with a segment from his past. After all, he is just a night watchman; he won't suspect anything without his memories."
As Sang Qingxiao prepared to act, Cang Xuan considered intervening, but Misha pulled him aside to calm him down. While modifying Lao Lu's memories, Sang Qingxiao stumbled upon something interesting. She entered Lao Lu's dwelling and retrieved a piece of torn cloth, which she handed to Misha upon her return.
When Lao Lu encountered Cang Xuan, he had an injury on his leg, and this cloth had been wrapped around the wound. Lao Lu suspected that this fabric was not something an ordinary person could possess and decided to keep it hidden.
Misha recognized it at a glance: it was a Pujisi monk's robe fabric, gray in color, originating from the Demon Subduing Institute. The auspicious cloud sutra indicated that only those of high rank could wear it. Examining the material further revealed its rarity and value; it must have belonged to someone of Abbot status.
The answer was becoming clear—it was highly likely linked to Wisdom Supreme.
Misha asked Cang Xuan how he came by this fabric.
"I don't remember," he replied. "All I recall is that I was in severe pain at the time. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself holding this fabric. Instinctively, I felt I couldn't part with it, so I kept it with me."
"Then why did you come to Jingjing City?"
Cang Xuan smiled at Misha and said, "Even without my memories, my subconscious guided me here. You know me; could it be that my subconscious is telling me to find you?"
"Ha! You clearly said we would never meet again when we parted," Misha retorted.
Cang Xuan looked puzzled. "Was I really that heartless?"
Unable to derive answers from Cang Xuan, Misha turned to Sang Qingxiao and analyzed, "If even I can't defeat Wisdom Supreme, how could he have inflicted such injuries on Cang Xuan?"
"Discussing this now is pointless; isn't someone about to head to the capital? We can investigate further once he's there."
"Can you take a look at Cang Xuan's memories?"
He has memory loss. How am I supposed to look at him? Let's take him back to the Small Tavern. Since you brought him back, you need to keep a close watch on him. No matter how hungry he gets, he must not eat anyone.
The Small Tavern has runes; Wisdom Supreme definitely won't notice him there. But if he leaves the range of the Small Tavern and gets caught, it could implicate us, and I'll hold you responsible!
I thought we would have to fight, but instead, we found a wounded and amnesiac Mirror Demon. Surprisingly, he has a good temperament and sensed Misha's kindness, so he followed her closely.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, looking worriedly at Lao Lu, who was lying on the ground. Is he really gone?
Misha reassured him, saying, "If you're still worried about him, I'll stay in the shadows with you and observe until he wakes up."
