Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 284: If I can’t come back, don’t wait for me.

Chapter 284: If I can’t come back, don’t wait for me.

Jun Lii understood that after Su Zihu came over, he first saved himself and then protected Ah Xing, who had already become somewhat tattered.

"Okay, what do you need me to do?"

"Over the past half year, Aunt Jiang has found a Secret Technique in the ancient archives of the Jiang Family. There are two methods, the first is for you to give me half of your soul body, but by doing so, you may suffer irreparable damage due to the loss of the soul body, and might even encounter the same situation as Ah Xing! The second method is to try to link the two of us together."

"Link together?"

"Like connecting a line, no matter where I am in the flow of time, your soul body can provide me with a slight amount of power. Not so much at once as to harm you instead."

"Then let’s go with the second method." Jun Lii said decisively, "As long as I’m here, you can continue to receive power without end, is that what you mean?"

"Yes." Su Zihu nodded, "If one day, our connection breaks, then you need not wait any longer."

This was the worst contingency plan.

If he couldn’t find Ah Xing, or if she ran into great trouble and couldn’t return...

Su Zihu didn’t explain too much, but Jun Lii understood.

He continued, "Furthermore, you need to be prepared... if I leave, many things in this world might change as a result."

"What things?"

"Such as the stories we’ve experienced, the memories of related people..." Su Zihu said calmly, "I realized when I arrived, the plotline here is quite different, and some memories might deviate. Since you and I are originally one entity, if I go, your memories might also fade... In case... you no longer remember her."

"I will remember her." Jun Lii promised, "There are many ways to remember her, and I will surely remember her!"

Su Zihu, watching his determined appearance, seemed to have gone through this many times, feeling both relieved and sad.

"Good, I’ll bring her back as soon as possible."

After speaking, Su Zihu began to use the Jiang Family’s Secret Technique.

Jun Lii watched as a transparent thread emerged from his chest and gradually tied itself to Su Zihu’s phantom form.

A warm current, like an infusion, slowly provided Su Zihu with strength.

He waved his hand, opening a vortex-like passage through time, and turned to say, "You... take care."

Jun Lii nodded, "Okay."

But the second Su Zihu’s soul body disappeared, he fainted on the spot.

"There are many ways to remember her..."

"I will surely remember her!"

Jun Lii indeed remembered Ah Xing...

However, just as Su Zihu had said, there were losses and deviations in his memories...

His Ah Xing was dead, killed in an explosion...

Whatever about the Jiang Family, the Yan Family, the things he promised to remember, vanished without even a trace of textual residue following Su Zihu’s departure...

Housekeeper Mu brought in a bowl of bird’s nest soup, "Master, please eat something. You have not slept for two days."

Jun Lii, holding his head, sighed dejectedly, "She’s dead... Uncle Mu..."

Housekeeper Mu looked up in surprise, the Master’s last mention of Miss Ah Xing was of a poor, abandoned child, and now he spoke as though she was dead?

Recently there had been no news...

He began to suspect that the Master’s memory was problematic.

He tentatively asked a few questions.

"Young Master Yan has been crying a lot, perhaps because he is not accustomed to being away from his birth mother."

"Birth mother?" Jun Lii’s face suddenly hardened, "Giving birth to an heir of the Jun Family through despicable means, that person had better not show her face to me for the rest of her life!"

Housekeeper Mu’s eyes widened in astonishment.

The day Young Master Yan was brought over by the mysterious woman, the Master clearly was very distressed, yet he still lovingly cared for Young Master Yan for more than two months in his arms... He had always guessed that Miss Ah Xing was Young Master Yan’s mother, and for some unavoidable reason had to send him to the Jun Residence.

Now it seems... the Master’s memory loss is not so trivial?!

He dared not make a sound and quietly withdrew.

As the door closed, the entire room plunged into darkness.

It was as if the memories that had gone with Su Zihu were completely sealed away in that room.

From the corner of Jun Lii’s eyes, two lines of clear tears suddenly fell.

Tick-tock, they landed on the pillow with a sound.

Housekeeper Mu observed that the master’s finger had moved slightly and hurried forward to check on him.

Jun Lii’s breathing became more rapid than before, tears in his eyes, his fingertips lifting desperately yet weakly, as if trapped in a dream.

Housekeeper Mu glanced at the time, ten hours had already passed!

What to do, should he awaken the master? Or wait for the master to wake up on his own?

After a moment of hesitation, he composed his expression and took out his mobile phone, playing back the recording he had just made.

"Hmm... I hope he enjoys good health and has a prosperous career."

The perfunctory words, accompanied by Yan Yueqing’s clear and moist voice, slowly emanated from the earpiece.

Like a meandering brook babbling past, the sound moved from one’s ears straight into the heart.

Trapped in the room, Jun Lii struggled to leave but finally heard the familiar voice.

He turned his head and dashed toward the voice in the darkness.

Even if there were a mountain of swords and a sea of flames ahead, he wouldn’t stop his steps!

"Bang—"

It was like the sound of a mirror shattering!

Jun Lii’s eyes opened slowly and painfully.

Housekeeper Mu pressed the pause button and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Master, you are awake."

Supported by Uncle Mu, Jun Lii slowly rose to a sitting position, his head still throbbing fiercely, and his body felt as weak as if it had been drained.

Leaning on the headboard, his voice was hoarse, "Uncle Mu, how long have I slept?"

"Exactly ten hours," replied Housekeeper Mu with relief. "If you hadn’t woken up, I would have had to fetch Xiao Yi."

"Don’t worry, I’m fine," coughed Jun Lii weakly, speaking truthfully, "Uncle Mu... I remember everything now."

"Really?"

"Yan Yueqing is Ah Xing," stated Jun Lii, getting straight to the point. "The two children are also our own flesh and blood."

Housekeeper Mu nodded repeatedly, his eyes behind the glasses full of sincere happiness, "That’s good, that’s very good!"

Jun Lii cried with remorse, "She’s come back... yet I only know it now... I’ve been so foolish..."

Seated on the bed, Housekeeper Mu patted his shoulder, "Master, I don’t know exactly what happened back then. But at that time... it was as if your memory was altered overnight. Although your behavior remained the same, the moment Miss Ah Xing or the mention of Young Master Yan’s biological mother came up, you would fly into an uncontrollable rage. I have no ability to uncover the truth for you, to let you suffer for so many years... it truly shouldn’t have been this way."

"What does this have to do with Uncle Mu?" Jun Lii shook his head, "This matter is so complex, who would believe it if they hadn’t experienced it themselves? Now, although Ah Xing has come back, her memory is impaired just like mine was back then..."

Uncle Mu consoled, "Since you can remember, Miss Ah Xing will surely be able to as well!"

Really?

And what if she can’t remember?

Uncle Mu seemed to understand his thoughts, "Even if she can’t remember, you are still you, Miss Ah Xing is still Miss Ah Xing. As long as you both are here, there are infinite possibilities, right?"

Jun Lii was persuaded, "Yes, if I hadn’t been so distrustful back then... Ah Xing wouldn’t have had to go through so much."

He couldn’t continue to be weak.

No matter which self Ah Xing liked, wasn’t it all him?

He and Su Zihu had always had one goal—to protect Ah Xing!

Since it was so clear, why bother with other distractions? It was nothing more than being angry at oneself.

Seeing that Jun Lii had calmed down, Housekeeper Mu brought over a cup of Ginseng Tea, "Have some, Master."

Jun Lii took it and drank a large mouthful.

Only then did Housekeeper Mu speak, "By the way, during the time you were unconscious, Miss Yueqing made a phone call."

At the mention of Yan Yueqing, Jun Lii’s attitude turned tender in an instant, "Was there something she needed?"
