Chapter 57: Memory Errors
Situ Yunlong saw that Dugu Yi was just looking at him coldly, and had no intention of answering the question, so he waved his hand to his subordinates and said, "You go down first." ā
"Yes. The guards answered, let go of Dugu Yi, and then melted into the darkness again.
"You come in with me. After Situ Yunlong finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the room, regardless of whether Dugu Yi would follow up or not.
Dugu Yi looked left and right, just looking at the skill of the person just now, he knew that it was impossible to escape, and Situ Yunlong didn't seem to have any intention of killing him, so he finally followed Situ Yunlong into the room.
When Situ Yunlong saw Dugu Yi enter the door, he pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit down." ā
Dugu Yi was not polite, walked to the chair and sat down and asked, "Why don't you kill me?"
"If you are really the kid I met ten years ago......" Situ Yunlong ignored Dugu Yi's question and said to himself: "I remember that your name should be 'Dugu Yi', I remember correctly, right?"
"That's right. Dugu Yi nodded, and then asked, "Why did you kill my father?"
"I killed your father?" Situ Yunlong looked at Dugu Yi in astonishment, and after a long time, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Do you think I have the ability to kill your father?
"Martial Emperor...... Ninth level!" Dugu Yi opened his mouth wide but couldn't say anything.
Situ Yunlong glanced at the stunned Dugu Yi, and then continued: "I did go to your house on the night your father died, but your father was killed before I went, and all I saw was you crying in the rain! ā
After listening to Situ Yunlong's words, Dugu Yi could only come to one conclusion: his memory was wrong, and when it was linked to the lack of a memory, this conclusion was even more likely.
"You're not a murderer, so who is that?" Dugu Yi began to believe that Situ Yunlong was not his father-killing enemy. If it was killed by Situ Yunlong, as long as Dugu Yi was killed again, it would be a hundred, and there was no need to make up this story at all.
"A person who can kill a martial emperor must also be a figure with a head and a face. Situ Yunlong sighed and said, "Your father and I only met in that small mountain village in the Minghe Kingdom, so it is impossible to know if he has any enemies. ā
"My father is from the Dude Empire?"
"Probably. Situ Yunlong nodded, and said, "Even if not, your father should have stayed in the Dude Empire for a long time, as for the rest, I don't know anything else, I have been talking about the Valley of the Curse for two or three days with him, and he seems to want to enter it." ā
"Valley of the Damned. Only then did Dugu Yi remember Situ Yunlong's previous words, so he asked again, "You guys went in?"
"How could it be. Situ Yunlong smiled dryly and sadly: "More than thirty people died before they even touched the edge, and I didn't even know the cause of their deaths." ā
Dugu Yi nodded and began to wonder why his father wanted to enter the Valley of the Damned, and did living in that small mountain village also prepare for entering the valley?
"Anyway, how did you get here? From the Minghe Kingdom to the Dude Empire, it's a lot of dangers!"
Situ Yunlong's voice turned Dugu Yifei's thoughts to the memories along the way, but he didn't immerse himself in it this time, shook his head slightly, and replied: "I walked aimlessly for a few years, and I came here unconsciously." ā
"That's it!" Situ Yunlong nodded, although he didn't fully believe it, he didn't delve into it, and then said, "Then what are your plans in the future, do you want to stay here?"
Faced with the same question as Yiqian, Dugu Yi would of course only give the same answer, shook his head lightly and stood up. "I'm going to ......"
"Xiao Yi!" Yi Qian's crisp voice interrupted Dugu Yi.
Dugu Yi and Situ Yunlong turned their heads to look at the door at the same time, and saw Cai Yu and Yi Qian breaking in one after another.
Caiyu, who has the same wisdom as humans, went to find the 'rescuer' when he saw Dugu Yi being captured, but it took a lot of time to find Yiqian who was talking to Gao Yahan, and Yiqian ran out with Caiyu as soon as she saw Caiyu's panicked appearance, but she didn't expect that the last thing she came to was her father's study.
"What's going on? do you know?" Situ Yunlong said when he saw the panicked Yi Qian.
"Father!" Yi Qian called and turned to Dugu Yi. "I also want to ask what's going on, I ran away without saying a word before, and now I'm here again?"
"Because of memory errors, I mistook the city lord for my father's killer. Dugu Yi said calmly.
Such an answer could not convince Yi Qian, so she turned to Situ Yunlong again. "Father, is that really the case?"
Situ Yunlong also nodded slightly, and said again: "I did appear when his father Duguhong was killed, and he was only three years old at the time, so it is reasonable that he would be mistaken." ā
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I'll go first. Dugu Yi arched his hand towards Situ Yunlong, and was about to turn around and leave.
"It's so late, where are you going to go?" Yi Qian grabbed Dugu Yi.
"Inn. ā
"Just live here, the City Lord's Mansion is not comparable to an inn. Situ Yunlong said.
"Father, I'll take him to the guest room. Yi Qian said to Situ Yunlong and pulled Dugu Yi to take a step, completely ignoring Dugu Yi's resistance, no matter what, Yi Qian is also an eighth-level martial artist, and her strength is not less than Dugu Yi.
Dugu Yi tried several times but couldn't break free, so he had to give up and said, "I can walk by myself." ā
"I'm afraid you're going to hit the wall. Yi Qian casually made up a reason, that is, not to let go of Dugu Yi.
"I'm not completely blind. ā
ā......ā
Situ Yunlong looked at the two people who were arguing and leaving, and a deep sadness climbed up his cheeks, how did this thirteen-year-old boy come to the Dude Empire, which was thousands of miles away?
"I didn't expect to hide in this remote town for ten years, and finally found it. Situ Yunlong said bitterly and helplessly, and blew out the candle flame in the study.
Let's not talk about what plans and thoughts Situ Yunlong has in his heart, and then look at Yi Qian and Dugu Yi, after the two walked out of the study for a distance, Yi Qian put away the joking expression from before, and asked seriously: "Is it really your mistake?"
"IāI don't know. Dugu Yi hesitated in front of Yi Qian for the first time.
"Why don't you know?"
"Because I have a problem with my memory, but then the clue is completely broken. Dugu Yi lowered his head as he spoke, and his voice was not as stiff and cold as usual.
"Is there nothing else?" Yi Qian's voice softened a little, she could clearly feel that Dugu Yi was afraid of something, at this time, what was standing in front of her was not Dugu Yi who had been getting along for the past few days, but a child who needed someone to protect her! Feeling this, Yi Qian clenched Dugu Yi hard.
Dugu Yi seemed to have received the power from Yi Qian's hand, took a deep breath, and said in his usual tone: "No, even if there is, I can't take revenge now, so I won't think about revenge for the time being." ā
After breaking through the City Lord's Mansion tonight, Dugu Yi knew that in the face of an enemy who was several times stronger than himself, no matter what strategy was useless; what really mattered was to improve his own strength, if he didn't have the corresponding strength, no matter how good the strategy was, it would be just a clever trick in the eyes of the enemy.
