"Every time you appear before me, you're just tearing open my scars, making me relive the nightmare of that night!"
"And you keep creating these awkward situations on your own, making it impossible for me to even make friends!"
"Do you think this is love?"
"You are completely ruining me!!!"
Jiang Nannan's sudden outburst petrified Xu Sanshi on the spot.
His face was full of disbelief.
Was he...
Really that despicable?
What he didn't know was that in the past, Jiang Nannan had dared not speak the truth due to their respective statuses.
But the mysterious Ice God Temple, presided over by Mu En, had given her hope and courage, allowing her to stake everything on this one desperate move. Her goal was simply to break free from this childhood nightmare of hers!
Having said her absolute piece, Xu Sanshi finally woke up to the reality. So, it had always been just his own wishful thinking...
"I understand," Xu Sanshi said despondently. "I will leave. I won't appear before you again... Little Yuhao, can I withdraw from the Holy Flame Sect?"
Hit with this question, Huo Yuhao quickly called for Zhuge Lan's support.
"There's no need to formally leave. The management is lax anyway, and it avoids having Fortune Points deducted," Zhuge Lan said. "You can tell him that we can seal his memories, making him forget Jiang Nannan from the root."
Huo Yuhao organized his words.
"Outer disciples of the Holy Flame Sect are loosely managed. Whether you withdraw or not doesn't really matter."
"As for the Muscle Transformation Manual and Tai Chi Boxing..."
"Our Holy Flame Sect has a secret memory-sealing technique. It can make you forget the techniques, and of course, it can also make you forget specific people or events."
Seal his memories?
Xu Sanshi murmured to himself, looked up at Jiang Nannan, and seemed to reach a resolution.
He leaned close to Huo Yuhao and whispered something into his ear.
Huo Yuhao's expression changed drastically!
"Are you sure you want to do this?" he couldn't help but remind him. "What about the Xuanwu Sect over there..."
"The old man has more than just me as a child. If worse comes to worst, he can just have another one!" Xu Sanshi pleaded.
"Please, Yuhao! I atleast have the Xuanwu Shield martial soul, a guaranteed Title Douluo at the minimum. This deal isn't a loss for the Ice God Temple."
Huo Yuhao scratched his head.
In the past, he might have refused. But now, with the motivation of reviving his mother, facing the Fortune Points being delivered right to his doorstep, he really couldn't bring himself to turn it down.
So, he nodded in agreement.
"Great!" Xu Sanshi laughed. "Give me some time to handle my... affairs. I promise to come back clean!"
He directly activated his flight soul tool and swiftly left the scene.
This left everyone curious.
"Class Monitor, what exactly did Senior Xu say?" Xiao Xiao asked.
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment.
Feeling that this matter couldn't be kept secret anyway, he simply stated directly —
"Brother Sanshi said... he wants to seal all his memories related to Senior Nannan and join the Ice God Temple to see if he can fall in love with her again."
"If fate dictates that he will fall in love with her, then he will pursue her with all his might before Senior Nannan forgets about him."
"If there is no fate... then he will just seal his emotions away and spare himself the pain of longing."
"Has Xu Sanshi gone crazy?" Ma Xiaotao exclaimed. "He's the young master of the Xuanwu Sect! To just seal his heart and lock away his emotions like that, doesn't that mean the Ice God Temple will be facing..."
She suddenly remembered that Elder Mu is the High Priest of the Ice God Temple.
No matter how powerful the Xuanwu Sect is, they wouldn't dare to make trouble for such an existence.
Besides, everything was done with Xu Sanshi's voluntary consent. No one could find fault with it.
One could only say —
"He's really willing to go all out!" Xiao Xiao sighed emotionally. "To abandon everything, even his memories, just for a chance to love Sister Nannan again... This is just too dreamlike, isn't it?"
Wang Dong, Wu Feng, and the others all nodded in agreement.
They looked at Jiang Nannan.
Her mind was in chaos right now, unable to comprehend Xu Sanshi's thought process.
Wouldn't it be better to just go their separate ways?
Xu Sanshi deserved someone better, and she, Jiang Nannan, could finally distance herself from her childhood shadow.
Why did they have to be forced together?
"Alright," Huo Yuhao spoke up. "Those who wish to join the Ice God Temple, follow me. The rest, please continue your cultivation."
After calling out, Huo Yuhao led the way, with Long Xiangyue closely following behind.
Jiang Nannan hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward to follow.
Even though she hadn't directly shaken off Xu Sanshi, she atleast had an opportunity now, right?
As long as she kept her distance from the memory-sealed Xu Sanshi and focused diligently on cultivating the Ice Heart Art, once her emotions were severed and desires cut off, everything would proceed smoothly.
Huo Yuhao walked very slowly, giving the two ample time to reconsider.
Meanwhile, he was also discussing within his spiritual world.
"I have to say, I underestimated this Xu Sanshi's lovesick nature," Zhuge Lan remarked with a tone of surprise. "To give up so much for a woman, it's a special feature of this Land of Douluo."
"I quite admire that kid. He has the same attitude I have towards Bing Bing," the Skydream Iceworm said smugly.
"That girl called Jiang Nannan is also pitiful, being pestered by someone like you, unable to kick him loose no matter what," the Ice Empress expressed her view.
The Skydream Iceworm, however, automatically "filtered out the negative comments" and he smiled as he sticking close.
Emphasizing a shameless, tenacious attitude.
Thwack!
A whip-like tail sent him flying.
Everyone was used to it by now and continued the discussion.
"To be honest, I really admire Brother Sanshi," Huo Yuhao said sincerely. "To go to such lengths for love is rare in this world."
Electrolux, who had popped back for a visit, nodded in agreement.
"This old man is also very curious. If he loses his memories, will he fall in love with the same person again?"
"I doubt it's likely. After all, Jiang Nannan's aversion is clearly there," Zhuge Lan rubbed his chin. "How about... we stir things up a bit?"
Everyone looked over at him. What devious idea do you have now?
Zhuge Lan grinned and began explaining his plan...
After he finished.
Everyone was nodding repeatedly, expressing great anticipation for the outcome.
"Placing bets!" Zhuge Lan laughed. "Those who think it will work, stand on the left. Those who think it won't, stand on the right. The winners decide the punishment for the losers!"
Electrolux, who had been listening with great interest just moments before, suddenly changed his expression!
"Over in the Half plane of the Undead, Little Yuhao is being ambushed and is about to die!"
"This old man needs to go check on the situation. You all carry on."
He opened a fist-sized gap, transformed into a wisp of smoke, and slipped inside.
Huo Yuhao blinked, lowered his head to avoid everyone's gaze, and searched for the non-existent ants on the ground.
"Tch," the Skydream Iceworm sneered. "Elder Electrolux is really cunning, only watching the fun without committing. I bet true love is invincible; this thing will work!"
"Then I'll bet it won't," the Ice Empress took the opposing side. "What's all this about love? What's more important than strength?"
"I'll follow the Ice Empress's bet," Xiao Bai raised his hand.
"Then I'll have to bet the opposite. I'll side with the fat bug and bet it will work," Ah Tai stood on the opposite side.
Finally, only Octagonal Grass was left, hesitating between the two.
In the end, he still stood by the Skydream Iceworm's side.
"I am willing to believe that true love exists in this world."
The Skydream Iceworm proudly propping his prolegs on his hips.
"3 to 2, the advantage is ours!"
The Ice Empress said nothing, staring at Huo Yuhao.
What do you say?
"Uh... Can I bet on him winning?" Huo Yuhao said cautiously. "Brother Sanshi was really too much of a man this time. I ask myself, it would be very difficult for me to make such a huge sacrifice."
The Ice Empress snorted coldly but didn't say anything more.
The Skydream Iceworm became even more pleased with himself, but upon seeing the Ice Empress's expression, he reined it in.
Only Zhuge Lan chuckled softly.
Little Yuhao, ah, you know nothing about your own "lovesick nature"!
