N-A-A Chapter 1740 A Little Vulnerability
Chapter 1740 A Little Vulnerability
Yin Yunting suddenly had a feeling that what Lu Zhaoling wanted to ask was not something easy to answer.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished asking, Lu Zhaoling looked at him and said, "For example, the things you knew when you were a judge."
"For example, who were Qi'a's brothers before? Where exactly did Yama go? What was my relationship with Yama in my past life?"
"I heard from my master that King Yama used to spoil me a lot, but I really can't remember many things. For example, why can't I remember my life in the First Xuanmen?"
"Meng Po and I are clearly very close. If I want to remember something, she should have a way. But she said she was ordered by King Yama not to let me remember the past. As a judge back then, you should know about these things, right?"
"What exactly happened in the past that made them insist on erasing my memories of my past life?"
Lu Zhaoling launched into a barrage of questions. After a pause, he continued, "The most important question is, how exactly did I die in the First Profound Sect? My cause of death is something my master still can't face with equanimity. What exactly happened back then?"
Hearing her ask so many questions, Yin Yunting rubbed his forehead wearily and said helplessly to Lu Zhaoling, "Senior Sister, why did you suddenly want to ask these questions again? How am I supposed to answer so many of them?"
Lu Zhaoling glanced at him and said, "Look, look, your answer now sounds like you're avoiding the issue, shirking responsibility. Is it really that hard for you to tell the truth? Are you afraid I won't be able to handle the truth?"
Yin Yunting shook his head and said, "That's not how it is. There are many things I haven't remembered yet. Why would Senior Sister suddenly want to ask these questions?"
Lu Zhaoling sat down on the stone bench next to her with no choice but to support herself with her hands on either side of her body.
She looked up at the sky, sighed, and said, "It's because I just heard Qi'a talking about his junior brother. I heard him say that his junior brother died to protect his former master, and that they also had a master. I don't know why, but when I heard this, I felt a strange feeling that I couldn't control."
Yin Yunting was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected it to be because of what Qi'a had said.
He sat down next to Lu Zhaoling and looked up at the sky with her.
After a moment of silence, Yin Yunting asked again, "Does Senior Sister have any guesses?"
He felt that Qi'a's words must have made Lu Zhaoling have some suspicions, which is why she suddenly wanted to ask about her past life.
Lu Zhaoling said, "I don't really have any guesses. It's just that I suddenly feel like the people around me all have memories of their past lives, and many things happened in their past lives. I clearly had that period of my life, but I just can't remember it. So far, all I know about the First Mystic Sect are fragments of those two or three dreams I had back then. I don't know anything else."
She sighed and said, "I just don't feel right. Whatever happened in the past, I should at least know clearly what happened so that I can know which way to go in the future."
"And so far, I haven't found any clues about my father. Junior brother, if I say I miss him a little, would you find it strange? After all, I've never actually met him or spent any time with him."
To Lu Zhaoling, Lu Ming is still a stranger, except for a tiny bit of blood relation.
That blood relation has become somewhat unreal now, because they have been reincarnated two or three times.
She didn't even know if she was born in this life or if all her previous lives were just illusory life trajectories. She didn't even know in which lifetime she was truly born.
If you told this to someone else, they would probably be completely confused.
However, Yin Yunting was able to understand what Lu Zhaoling meant.
The eldest sister's life seems to be pieced together from several short lifetimes.
But in every lifetime, she never met Lu Ming.
"Junior Brother, I always feel that my father is still alive, and the reason why he can't appear now may also be related to me."
Lu Zhaoling really had this idea.
"After hearing what Qi'a said, I couldn't help but think that they also had people they wanted to protect in the past. I've lived through several lifetimes and died twice, but in fact, haven't I also been protected by someone?"
Yin Yunting immediately said, "Your uncle must have wanted to protect you, which is why he sent you to the First Mystic Sect and the Zunyi Temple."
He immediately understood what Lu Zhaoling meant.
The eldest sister just wanted to know if her father was protecting her.
He had discussed this with his master and uncle, and was about 70% certain.
Lu Ming sent his senior sister to the First Mystic Sect, which must have been for her own good, and he wanted to protect her.
But saying that also means that Lu Ming is in danger.
"Where is he now?" Lu Zhaoling sighed.
Although Lu Zhaoling hasn't said anything lately, she's only now revealing a tiny bit of vulnerability in her heart—a vulnerability she's never shown before. Now, she's making no attempt to hide it from Yin Yunting, revealing it completely.
This is her first marriage in her third lifetime.
For this grand wedding, Lu Zhaoling really hoped that her parents would be by her side. If her father had always doted on her and wanted to protect her, she would have hoped even more that he could see her get married.
Being able to hold her hand and place it in Zhou Shiyue's hand is a father's way of handing over the rest of his daughter's life. Lu Zhaoling had actually imagined this kind of ceremony when she saw other people's weddings before.
“I don’t know where he is. My mother passed away a long time ago, and even what exactly happened to her back then is still largely unknown.”
"Junior Brother, sometimes when I think about it, I realize I'm not very capable. Otherwise, how come I couldn't even find out who my own parents are?"
Yin Yunting reached out and patted Lu Zhaoling's head.
It was rare for him to see Lu Zhaoling in such a vulnerable state.
I never expected that what Qi'a just said would make my senior sister think of so many things.
He lowered his voice and said to Lu Zhaoling, "Senior Sister is already very capable. How can we blame you for not finding out about this yet? So many of us have failed to find out."
"Besides, think about it, I was a judge of the underworld back then, and I still haven't fully recovered my memories. Doesn't that make me much worse than my senior sister?"
"Besides, Yama is so powerful, yet he's still nowhere to be found. We don't know what happened to him."
