Chapter 1564: Chapter 1557: Heterogeneous Hall

"Feng, where is she?" Cheng Ziang suddenly became panicked and loudly asked, pointing to where Ah Si had stood.

"I don’t know..." Feng’s eyes were wide open too, as she said with a sense of grievance.

"How do you not know? Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on her?" Cheng Ziang said somewhat angrily and in frustration.

"I was watching her, and I sensed her presence. But her presence just vanished, and I couldn’t track her no matter what." Feng said in a fluster.

"What’s going on, what the hell is happening?" Cheng Ziang covered his head, falling into shock and confusion.

"Gentlemen, have you seen Ah Si?" Cheng Ziang’s voice trembled as he asked the two soldiers following him.

"Ah Si?" The two soldiers looked at each other, and one of them, pointing at Feng, said, "Are you talking about her, my lord? It was just you two today."

"Right, Ah Si, who is Ah Si?" Hearing the soldiers’ reply, Cheng Ziang blinked and asked with a bewildered face.

"Eh, did we just mention that name?" The two soldiers looked at each other again.

"It’s haunted, truly haunted..." Cheng Ziang couldn’t organize his thoughts, and cold sweat kept breaking out on his back.

He dragged his trembling body to the side of the street and sat down, covering his mask, lost in deep thought for a long time.

What on earth is going on? Why can’t I remember that person? Who is he? What does he look like? What clothes is he wearing? Is he male or female? Why can’t I remember any of it?

I clearly remember, it seemed like I followed someone to the Luo Yue Gathering, but why can’t I always recall, who exactly was that person?

"Sorry, I’m so sorry..." Feng walked to Cheng Ziang, bowed her head, and said timidly.

"No, it’s not your fault, even you can’t grasp the other’s movements, perhaps the Fog Concealment Skill?" Cheng Ziang covered his mask, murmuring to himself.

The thought that this person might be the thief who stole from him, the thought that he had been walking with him for so long without realizing, filled Cheng Ziang with inexplicable irritation.

"Shit, shit, shit!" In his fury, he let out a triple curse in a row, then banged his head with his hands, full of regret.

"If I had known, I should have tied her up just now... Wait, her? Him?" Cheng Ziang suddenly came to his senses, then stood up and grabbed Feng’s delicate wrist.

"Sorry, I know I was wrong." Feng looked at him with widened eyes, her expression pitiful as she spoke.

"Right, this feeling cannot be forgotten, the touch of the fingers cannot be forgotten." Cheng Ziang ignored her apology, murmuring to himself while rubbing Feng’s wrist.

"It’s a girl!" After a long time, Cheng Ziang finally started to remember some clues.

"It hurts a bit..." Feng said timidly.

"Oh, sorry, sorry." Cheng Ziang snapped out of it and quickly let go, realizing that he had turned her wrist red.

Calming his mind slightly, Cheng Ziang looked at Feng and asked: "Do you know the name of the person just now?"

"I don’t know." Feng honestly shook her head.

"Gentlemen, what was the name I just asked you?" Cheng Ziang asked the two soldiers.

"Uh, please forgive us, my lord..." The two soldiers were stunned for a while, then apologized with their hands clasped together.

"As expected, even the name would be forgotten, is this the power of the Fog Concealment Skill?" Cheng Ziang muttered to himself.

Carrying a sense of loss and disorientation, Cheng Ziang returned to the inn and reported the situation to Luo’er truthfully. After listening to his description, Tangmo angrily said, "I’ve said not to go out alone, and as the deputy captain, you took the lead in disobiting orders. What exactly do you want?"

"My gun is lost, I have to find it," Cheng Ziang said somewhat absentmindedly.

"So it’s lost, Luo’er isn’t even blaming..." Tangmo suddenly raised his voice, but quickly realized his tone was inappropriate, glanced at Luo’er and continued in a moderated volume, "In this godforsaken place, if a gun is lost, it’s lost. What matters most is that you didn’t get lost, understand?"

"Fog Concealment Skill, does such a miraculous power truly exist in the world?" Luo’er mused with his head lowered.

"Do you still remember what happened today, like the physical characteristics of that person?" Tangmo turned back to look at Luo’er and then asked.

"I don’t remember at all, don’t remember anything," Cheng Ziang shook his head and said, "It’s not just me, Feng and the two accompanying soldiers don’t remember either. Even though they witnessed everything, it’s as if that memory was erased."

"So you mean to say that you don’t remember anything that happened today?" Tangmo asked.

"No, I remember that I went out of the city to the Luo Yue Gathering today, but who I went with, what that person looked like, I have no impression at all..." Cheng Ziang shook his head, then suddenly furrowed his brows as if he had caught onto something, "Wait, I grabbed her hand, it seemed like a woman’s hand."

"You actually remember such a thing despite forgetting everything else," Tangmo said with a slight frown.

"Yes, I tried to grab Feng’s hand to find the feeling, and I’m sure it was a woman’s hand," Cheng Ziang answered truthfully.

"A woman capable of the Fog Concealment Skill..." Tangmo fell into contemplation.

"She probably didn’t mean any harm, or rather, she hasn’t found a reason to harm us yet," Luo’er said coldly.

"Indeed, even a cultivator like Feng can’t catch her aura. If she wanted to do something, nobody could catch her," Tangmo nodded in agreement.

"Regardless, don’t act alone anymore," after a pause, Luo’er spoke with a tinge of annoyance, "Let the lost gun issue rest; stop bringing it up."

"Understood," Cheng Ziang bowed his head, incessantly nodding.

Meanwhile, Ah Si walked into a dark room deep within the alley. She had just lit a candle when several distinct silhouettes emerged from the darkness, standing quietly around the table.

"Is this amusing to you?" One of the men stared at Ah Si and asked with a weathered voice.

"I’m just carrying out a mission, drawing information from the target," Ah Si replied unapologetically.

"In such a manner?" The man’s voice dripped with sarcasm.

"I have my own methods, it’s none of your business. Though we’re both from Heterogeneous Hall, we’re not on the same path, and you have no right to interfere with my ways," Ah Si said coldly.

"Being sentimental only leads to hurt feelings. A word of advice: for someone like you, even if you die in an unnoticed corner, no one would care. If you hadn’t lit the candle, we wouldn’t even have noticed someone entered the room. If you’re trying to flirt in this way, I’d advise you to give up. He won’t remember you, never will," the man said with raised eyebrows and a cold sneer.

"What I hate the most are unsolicited sermons from the self-righteous," Ah Si said through clenched teeth, "What are you to judge my actions? It’s none of your concern even if I die in an unnoticed corner."

"Enough," another man’s voice came from within the room, "You two are always like this, insulting each other as soon as you meet. We all work for the Young Lord, there’s no need for division. Right now, the Saint’s party is under our control, and the Young Lord hopes to pay close attention; we must not disturb them further and should be particularly wary of the Wu Family."

"Speaking of which, two experts from the Star-shattering faction died today. Indeed, the capabilities of these people should not be underestimated, even having a Nascent Soul Realm master amongst them. How did they manage it?" a voice said.

"From my observations," Ah Si said, "that man seems to be able to drive his Nascent Soul while maintaining consciousness. I suspect that’s not his Nascent Soul."

"Could it be that big guy?" a voice asked in surprise.

"Today, among the four experts under the Saint, only one is a cultivator, and that’s the girl called White Tiger. She appears to be an expert of the Royal Dao," a voice said.

"But strangely, if she were a Nascent Soul, she should have been able to break my Fog Concealment Skill. I think she doesn’t look like a Nascent Soul Realm Royal Dao expert, more like an ordinary cultivator from the Jiedan Realm," Ah Si said, narrowing her eyes.
