Chapter 689 I can’t remember
Cui Yandong explained softly, "It must have been when you first arrived in the Central Region that you made an appearance there, and someone with ulterior motives drew your portrait. It was quite profitable for them, though."
Zhong Ran's heart suddenly turned ice-cold.
She had no idea that those people were actually selling her portrait? Did they even ask for her opinion?
However, she had no idea who it was and had no way of finding out, so she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Master Zhong, I heard before that you went into the Forest of Death. Did you really go to the Forest of Death?"
There had been rumors that they had gone to the Forest of Death, and quite a few geniuses from both the demonic and evil paths had indeed headed there, hoping to run into them.
"Master Zhong, I have had a banquet prepared. Why don't we go out and eat while we chat?"
"Master Zhong, do you know where Zhong Yan and A Sheng are? I even had someone prepare a lot of roast meat for them."
Zhong Ran paused for a moment. Zhong Yan should be in the underworld by now, but A Sheng was in her space.
However, spaces that can carry people are still very rare on the Phoenix Cry Continent.
She was already famous enough, so it wasn't appropriate for her to send Ah Sheng out in front of everyone.
"They have some things to do for the time being, so I'll bring the barbecue with me."
Zhong Ran walked outside: "I wonder what brings you all here to see me?"
"Let me make it clear first, I have important business to attend to and will not stay long."
She still had quite a few pills on her, but most of them were refined by Xiao Ding himself and did not have pill patterns.
She spent so much time in the Forest of Death that she didn't have time to refine elixirs or draw talismans.
“Master Zhong, we didn’t mean anything by it. We just came to see you after we learned you were here.”
"Yes, Master Zhong has a long-standing reputation, and it is our honor to meet you today."
"Of course, if Master Zhong has any extra pills, talismans or the like, we would be happy to sell some to him."
The crowd escorted them toward the main hall, where a banquet had indeed been set up on many tables.
There was also a group of young people waiting there, all of them young geniuses from the Cui family, eager to see Zhong Ran's charm.
Zhong Ran suddenly remembered what Mu Jinning had said, asking her if she wanted to disguise herself.
She wasn't afraid of trouble, but she was afraid of people's enthusiasm, which was a bit hard to accept.
She didn't remember all those people; she just nodded slightly to everyone as if to acknowledge them.
After the meal, she actually had some pills that she had refined herself, as well as some pills refined in a small cauldron, which she sold to them, earning another sum of money.
Although they didn't have many talismans, they still sold quite a few spirit stones.
She didn't say a word about what was happening in the Forest of Death.
It wasn't until very late that everyone reluctantly dispersed, and Zhong Ran was finally able to go back to rest.
I was planning to go for a walk tonight, but that's not possible now. I'll have to go tomorrow.
Alright, I'll take the old man out for a walk tomorrow, buy some things, and then leave.
Cui Jingyun was summoned by the head of the Cui family, and he told the head of the family about the strange behavior of the cloaked man.
He originally wanted to create an opportunity for the Cui family, but the senior was not willing, and there was nothing he could do.
"You're saying that senior was rescued from the Forest of Death by Zhong Ran and the others?"
The head of the Cui family's eyes lit up as well. You see, almost everyone who enters the Forest of Death never comes out.
If Cui Jingyun and the other person hadn't met Zhong Ran, they probably would have been trapped inside forever.
Unless another tribulation of lightning occurs.
But with Zhong Ran no longer inside, it will be even more difficult to trigger the tribulation again.
So, the person trapped inside who survived until Zhong Ran rescued them must not be an ordinary person.
Such a senior is indeed a tremendous opportunity.
"Yes, they were rescued from inside, but we don't know the specifics."
Cui Jingyun didn't hide anything; if the Cui family head could accomplish this, he would remember his kindness.
The head of the Cui family stood before him, his tone grave: "Tell me everything you have seen."
Cui Jingyun asked blankly, "What did you say?"
"What did that old man look like?"
Cui Jingyun was taken aback. After thinking carefully, he realized that he couldn't remember what the old man looked like.
He frowned and shook his head: "I don't know why, but I can't remember."
They must have clearly seen the old man's features back then, so why do they have no recollection of it now?
The head of the Cui family was also taken aback: "Didn't you say you saw someone? You even traveled together for so many days, how come you don't know what he looks like?"
Cui Jingyun thought about it carefully, but still couldn't figure it out.
The head of the Cui family frowned. He couldn't remember his face? This meant there really was something strange about him.
"I will go and mention to that senior that our Cui family has an ideal place for seclusion. If he could occasionally give some guidance to the younger generation of the Cui family, or take on one or two disciples, that would be fine."
If such a powerful figure can be won over, he certainly won't stand idly by if the Cui family encounters any trouble in the future.
He paused for a moment, then asked, "You said you came from the Forest of Death? Did you get anything good?"
Upon hearing him mention the Forest of Death, Cui Jingyun's expression changed.
After a long pause, he said, "There is nothing in the Forest of Death, not even a single ordinary medicinal herb."
"There should be a lot of formations inside. There's no spiritual energy, and the atmosphere is very uncomfortable. There will also be bone beasts, and at night there will be large swarms of bats attacking."
"Flight is restricted inside, so many methods can't be used. We can only rely on weapons or strength to fight head-on."
"A bone beast? What is that?"
Cui Jingyun: "...It means that the monsters have lost their flesh and fur, and are only bones left."
The Cui family head's expression hardened. It was actually this bone?
"The bone beasts are extremely powerful. We can't harm them in the slightest, but we will get injured. Moreover, if we get injured inside, the wounds will be very difficult to heal."
The head of the Cui family frowned again: "So, this is a true death trap inside, with absolutely nothing of value?"
Cui Jingyun nodded: "That's exactly right."
The head of the Cui family asked a few more questions in detail, and finally waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
When Cui Jingyun left, he was still puzzled. He had clearly seen the old man before, but why couldn't he remember anything about him?
Thinking of this, he went back and went to find Lin Ziyue: "Junior sister, do you still remember what that old man looked like?"
Lin Ziyue frowned and said unhappily, "Why would I need to remember what he looks like?"
She was afraid of the old man and didn't dare to look at him, so she couldn't remember what he looked like.
"No, think about it carefully. I clearly saw it before, but I don't know why I just can't remember it."
Lin Ziyue was taken aback and blurted out, "I was scared at the time and didn't dare to look closely."
Why are you afraid?
Why was she afraid? Lin Ziyue thought about it carefully, and then realized, "Yes, why should I be afraid?"
But just as Cui Jingyun said, she couldn't remember anything at all.
I only remember being scared at the time, but I can't remember why I was scared. It's really strange.
