Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 942 - 60: An Unexpected Discovery

The words from "Lie Changgong" were like a sharp dagger, piercing directly into Yue Nian’s heart.

These words came too suddenly, with too much impact, leaving Yue Nian defenseless.

He even ignored the oddity in "Lie Changgong’s" voice.

The Blood Cherry Duke Mansion, women, children—Yue Nian’s body wobbled as if about to fall.

Yue Nian leaned against the cold dungeon wall, supporting his shaky body.

In his mind, the sword shadows flickered, passing through each figure.

A gentle, water-like woman, a charming and adorable daughter, a silent and steady son—some figures became gradually clear, but just as they became clear, a hand came to stir everything into chaos again.

"Yue Nian, why did you come over here? I remember you hate places like dungeons the most," the voice of Ye Huacheng abruptly interrupted the silent confrontation between "Lie Changgong" and Yue Nian, "This old bloke, in his past life, must have been a clam, so tight-lipped. Can’t get anything out of him. Don’t listen to his nonsense, I’m here to find you. The Clan Leader sent a message saying there will be a gala in Huasha City."

A gala?!

Yue Nian’s reaction to this news wasn’t of joy but rather of confusion.

With his head lowered, Yue Jinghua’s eyes quickly darted beneath a veil of disheveled hair. Yue Potian, that old coot, holding a gala at a time like this?

Fine, if the Sun Dragon Clan wants to hold a gala, she must present a grand gift.

"We’ll talk outside; in the future, this assassin will be under my disposal, and anyone wanting to enter the dungeon must first obtain my written order," Yue Nian still couldn’t recall where he had seen this old man, but he knew subconsciously that he couldn’t let anyone harm Lie Changgong.

He didn’t want to linger in the dungeon any longer and walked out with Ye Huacheng.

Once outside the dungeon, the bright sunlight somewhat lifted Yue Nian’s mood, but his brow remained furrowed.

Seeing his friend’s displeasure, Ye Huacheng asked, "What’s wrong with you? You’ve seemed so distracted lately."

"Huacheng, I think part of my memory has been sealed," this was the first time Yue Nian had doubted his own memory.

"How could that be? Who would dare tamper with the Sect Leader of the noble Sun Dragon Clan? Besides, no one has that Dark Power," Ye Huacheng mocked, believing Yue Nian was just overwhelmed by the entanglements with the Cangdai Goddess, leading to such wild thoughts.

"My uncle, the Clan Leader Yue Potian can. The man in the cell, what he said was true. Just now, I could feel ’he’ was speaking sincerely. The sealed memories are likely from my travels on the Star Plane. They haven’t been completely sealed because I still remember many events from my travels on the Star Plane. But between those events, there are gaps, as if someone reconfigured them and forcibly stuffed them back into my memory. The only one capable of that is my uncle, Yue Potian," Yue Nian rubbed his temples, and while recalling the past, he felt a helpless exhaustion, as though the most crucial part was missing.

"No way, did you really settle down on the Star Plane? This could be troublesome. You know the clan’s rules—those who join with the lowly Human Race never have good endings. If the Clan Leader sealed your memory, it must be for a reason. Think about it: unless that human has a great opportunity, she’ll age and die. Can you imagine spending decades with someone growing old and wrinkled? I couldn’t bear it," Ye Huacheng preferred young and beautiful women. Once they aged into withered flowers, their destiny was only abandonment.

"Then accompany her in growing old, matching old skin with gray hair; it’s a kind of spiritual realm," Yue Nian’s eyes softened like water when he said this.

He recalled last night when Lie Rou held his hand; if that person were her, he would cherish it willingly.

"Wow, don’t show that look, or I’ll think you’re losing it. It’s just a woman; no need to live or die over it. Stop overthinking. We should start preparing for the gala. Don’t dump all the work on me alone. I’m already aging prematurely from managing that hag Cang Dai for you. If this continues, I don’t want to be Huasha City’s City Lord anymore; might as well travel the Star Plane like you. Speaking of which, you seem to have improved a lot after your travels on the Star Plane. Did you encounter any unusual events?" Ye Huacheng found Yue Nian’s words increasingly off, suspecting his friend had indeed experienced something unusual on the Star Plane.

Perhaps Yue Nian himself hadn’t realized it, but the expression he had just now about giving up immortality to grow old with a woman gave Ye Huacheng an ominous feeling.

Watching closely, Ye Huacheng contemplated if he should inform Yue Potian about the changes in his friend.

Inside the dungeon, as Yue Nian and Ye Huacheng left, Yue Jinghua loosened the slipknot on the wooden rack and stretched her muscles.

Yue Nian had inadvertently done her a huge favor. Since he personally commanded no one to interrogate her, she could move freely in the dungeon for the next few days.

With Pu’s Concealment and Pu’s Instant protecting her, moving about the mansion would be no problem.

Is it appropriate for the Sun Dragon Clan to hold a gala at such a critical time? If she were the Clan Leader of the Sun Dragon Clan, what would she do at the gala?

Recalling Yue Nian’s attitude towards the Cangdai Goddess and what Xiao Ya said about the Cangdai Goddess being devoted to Yue Nian, given Yue Potian’s opportunistic nature, what would he do at a gala where both people are present...

"A wedding," Yue Jinghua grinned sinisterly, "Father probably doesn’t even realize he’s been set up."

Why is Yue Potian so protective of the Cangdai Goddess?

Why is Yue Potian so adamant about pushing the marriage between Cangdai Goddess and Yue Nian?

If Cangdai marries Yue Nian, with Yue Nian’s talent and current status in the Sun Dragon Clan, he could very well become the future Clan Leader of the Sun Dragon Clan.

At that time, Cang Dai would be the Dragon Clan’s bride, a status even higher than that of the Qingyuan Realm Goddess.

Would marrying into the Qingyuan Realm bring such significant benefits?

Yue Jinghua pondered this over and over, her eyes suddenly brightening—it had to do with the Cangdai Goddess’s birth origin.

The Qingyuan Realm Lord, Cang Mi, cannot bear children, so who is the biological father of the Cangdai Goddess?

Yue Potian? Or someone else of high importance within the Sun Dragon Clan?

"Qing Pu, is there a way to check if someone has Dragon Blood in their body?" Yue Jinghua suspected that Yue Potian could be the biological father of the Cangdai Goddess, having an affair with the Divine Empress?

Yue Jinghua grew intrigued; if this matter could be verified, it would undoubtedly be explosively newsworthy.
