C1578
From the Light God Palace to the Da Yu Palace, Hua Ruge and Jun Tianxia did not speak for the entire journey.
Even though they had long since been mentally prepared, they still found it hard to accept the current result. They could not imagine that their longtime friend would suddenly stand against them.
They watched as she was controlled by the Light God and lost all of her feelings and thoughts.
The two of them had grown so fast, but they had never felt so frustrated before.
Arriving at the palace, the two of them flew up to the roof of Jun Tianxia's chamber and Hua Ruge took out two jars of wine. He handed over a jar to Jun Tianxia.
He opened the clay seal and the two gulped down the strong alcohol in big mouthfuls.
Hua Ruge drank half a jar before he wiped his mouth and said: "She has grown a lot, but when she looks at it, it makes her heart ache."
Jun Tianxia did not speak, but continued to drink.
"I think she'll be thinking about her memories after today." Hua Ruge drank another mouthful of wine and said, "We probably didn't go there for nothing."
Jun Tianxia was still drinking.
Hua Ruge tilted his head and looked at him: "At this time, everyone's in a bad mood, can't you say something to alleviate the mood?"
"It's all my fault. Her life shouldn't be like this." Jun Tianxia's voice was heavy.
His mind was currently filled with Su Nianxia's previous appearance, so carefree like before, her smile had always been pure and happy. If he continued to live, it would be the same now.
Hua Ruge patted his shoulder and said: "You don't have to blame yourself. Taking her position and doing this is right. After all, the two of you are still alive."
"I will definitely think of a way to get her out of the control of the Light God and return her to her original self." Jun Tianxia said with certainty.
Hua Ruge nodded her head: "There will be a way. Didn't I lose my memories before as well?
"I know that you want to make me feel at ease, but you are still different from her." Jun Tianxia said very rationally.
Hua Ruge's amnesia was only because his soul had been severely damaged, and would naturally recover as long as he had a single breath left. However Su Nianxia's memories were forcibly erased by someone of the Light God's level, making it extremely difficult to recover.
"What problems have we not met before? Even if the sky flipped over, I do not believe that it would be difficult for the Light God to force him to hand over Xia Xia's memories." Hua Ruge said arrogantly.
Jun Tianxia nodded his head, "Of course I can do it, but it's better if nothing unexpected happens again."
"The heavens have eyes, I must protect that girl." Hua Ruge clasped his hands together, it was a rare scene to behold.
Jun Tianxia no longer said anything, and continued to drink his wine.
Hua Ruge also silently drank on the side, and currently, it was indeed difficult to describe their feelings.
The two of them stayed on the rooftop for an entire afternoon and also drank for an entire afternoon.
Even Hua Ruge was not drunk. Although her alcohol tolerance was not good, she was still a cultivator, she could still control and prevent alcohol from hitting her brain. Today, she wanted to calm down and think about it, not use alcohol to numb herself.
Her strength did not only depend on her mental strength, but also her character. She was a very strong person, and when she encountered a situation, her first thought would always be to solve the problem rather than to avoid it.
Jun Tianxia was the same.
However, with the strength of their hearts, the two of them could not come up with a good plan. At night, they went back to their respective rooms.
When Hua Ruge returned, he saw Lan Bing'er sitting in the courtyard making tea.
She walked over and picked up a glass. "Still awake?" she asked.
"This is the first time I've seen my sister drunk." As Lan Bing'er said this, he felt his heart ache.1
Hua Ruge bit the corner of his mouth, thought for a while and said: "Seems to be true."
"I'm not asking anything, not to mention elder sister. Sit down and rest for a while." Lan Bing'er said.
She knew that Hua Ruge was feeling terrible in his heart, so she didn't add fuel to the fire.
"You're always the most understanding one." Hua Ruge said as he sat down and started drinking tea again.
Lan Bing'er had already received the news long ago, and they had already returned, but they were drinking at Jun Tianxia's place, so they had long since prepared the Spirit-Sobering Tea.
Hua Ruge rarely sat there silently, for an entire hour.
Lan Bing'er didn't need to ask to know what the result would be. She was a little worried for Su Nianxia, but she felt even more sorry for her sister.
Other than the last time Tuoba Rui was personally frozen by her and was on the verge of death, she had never seen Hua Ruge in such a state.
"Her memories have been completely erased. She doesn't recognize us at all." Hua Ruge said, then turned to look at her: "Besides this, there's nothing major wrong with her. She's still the same as before, smarter than before."
As for the last point, she was somewhat gratified.
Lan Bing'er nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said in a euphemistic manner: "It's getting late, let me accompany big sister to rest."
"I can do it myself. Don't worry, I'm fine." Hua Ruge said as he went back to his room.
Lan Bing'er's heart ached, but he had no choice, he could only watch her as she returned.
Although Hua Ruge's heart was in pain, she still fell asleep while lying on the bed. She needed to take a good rest and relax her nerves, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to think of a good idea.
On the other hand, Jun Tianxia had never been in the habit of sleeping. After drinking and sitting in his sleeping quarters all night, he went to the imperial court the next day to handle official business as usual.
After that day, Jun Tianxia no longer just did what he appeared to be on the surface.
It was not because he was softhearted upon seeing Su Nianxia, but because he currently did not have the strength to fight against the Light God.
Hua Ruge had been holed up in the harem every day. She clearly knew that if she went out, the Lu family would no longer dare to cause her trouble, but she would definitely not go out.
After thinking for a few days, he still couldn't come up with any good methods. He could only try to touch her more and try to recall her memories.
Every time she thought about Su Nianxia's current state and how Tuoba Rui had to endure, she wanted to kill Light God with a single spear strike. However, the things she could do on this side was still limited, so she sent a message to Shangguan Li and asked him about the situation there.
When Shangguan Li received the letter, he had already returned to his previous residence. Seeing Hua Ruge's letter completely controlling Su Nianxia, he felt some regret.
She replied to the message, which stated the situation.
When Hua Ruge received the letter, he was shocked when he saw the content, because there was the news of Tuoba Rui obtaining the Tianzi Sword.
After being shocked, she became worried. She snappily said, "You reminded me not to act rashly. Are you making a ruckus over there yourself?"
"Tianzi Sword, can you casually touch that thing?"
She was already incoherent. She really wanted to rush over and grab the sword and throw it away.
Shangguan Li continued to write about the consequences of seizing the sword, and just as she had expected, after that, Tuoba Rui had been hunted down nonstop, and because of that, the Light God Palace had many enemies.
