"What's wrong with you?"
" Huh?" Fu Yu Sheng snapped out of his daze as he turned to look at Song Yan. She was sitting next to him in the car and despite coming out of the Gu sect, Fu Yu Sheng was yet to drive away from the parking lot which belonged to the Gu family and was sitting in the driver's seat with a dazed look on his face.
Song Yan furrowed her brows and then repeated her question, " I am asking you what is the matter? Are you feeling sick?"
" Umm, I am fine, I guess?" Fu Yu Sheng did not know why he was feeling like he was missing a huge chunk of memories when he could even tell what kind of baby formula he was fed when he was young.
Yeah, he was that awesome but at this moment he did not feel good.
There was a nagging feeling in the back of his head that was telling him that he was forgetting something and he almost believed that voice because when he heard Gu Chenyi explain how the Mirror of Fang Mian worked, something clicked inside his head.
He wasn't even surprised when he heard that using the Mirror Of Fang Mian could make someone age faster before leaving them helpless as their life flashed in front of their eyes and they became an echo of an evil spirit before getting sucked inside by the Mirror of Fang Mian.
It was as if he knew everything, which was really weird.
Because he was sure that he had never heard of this dangerous mirror ever before his life.
" Hey, it is all right," seeing that he was getting more and more pale, Song Yan reached out her hand and shook Fu Yu Shen lightly. "There is no need for you to feel terrified as such, there is nothing for you to worry its not like you are going to be pushed inside the mirror of Fang Mian."
No sooner, did speak the name of the mirror, than Fu Yu Sheng shivered. These days he was feeling worse and worse, though he did not tell anyone, he continued to have the same dream over and over again, where he was standing in front of a large snake who called him master.
With those pitiful red eyes, he would often ask him to let him go. Sometimes he would even whine like a child saying that he was tired after being sealed away for so long.
" Yan'er …have you ever thought of —— I mean have you ever felt like there is something that you know when you shouldn't have any idea about it?" Fu Yu Sheng questioned which caused Song Yan to furrow her brows.
Her gaze looked at him with an assessing gaze as if she was trying to steal the deepest darkest secrets which he was keeping inside of him.
" I believe that's possible," After a long time, Song Yan answered him. " But that will depend on which regards you are asking this question."
The curiosity which was bubbling inside of him died down a little when he heard Song Yan's response. In which regards? In the regard that a snake which was bigger than the building next to him whined like a child and complaint to him every night how he had forgotten him?
If he was to say those words out, Fu Yu Sheng was afraid that he would be sent inside a rubber room with a strait jacket tied to his body.
Fu Yu Sheng's face beaded with sweat as he shook his head and stated, " Never mind."
Song Yan took a few more glances at Fu Yu Sheng before turning her gaze away from him.
Her eyes flickered with questions which she did not ask as Fu Yu Sheng looked scared enough already. But what did he mean by that he knew something which he wasn't supposed to know? Did he mean Mirror of Fang Mian? But then who told him about that mirror which was lost thousands of years ago?
….
The two of them returned home, while Fu Yu Sheng busied himself by looking into the activities of the families who went against the Fu family including his third uncle, Song Yan went to her room as she drew another chart.
With Fu Yu Shen gone, the next in line was Old Master Fu and Fu Rong as the cadaveric qi was strongest on their names.
Song Yan pursed her lips as she studied the chart, she had heard of the mirror of Fang Mian but from the legend of that mirror, it vanished with its master's death. How come it suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
Did it mean that the woman was its master?
" Yanli," she summoned Fang Yanli out of the space ring. It did not even take a few seconds for Fang Yanli to make her appearance as she turned to look at Song Yan and smiled, " Did you call for me?"
" I did," Song Yan straightened up in her seat as she turned her head and looked at the female ghost before asking, " Did you remember the sect about which Master Yijin told us? The old sect which was once at the top but then became a dark sect? What was the name of the leader of that sect?"
Fang Yanli frowned upon hearing the question before she rummaged through her memories and then shook her head as she replied, " I don't remember… I do recall that there was a day that we were talking about that sect and Master Yijing did tell us the name of that woman but I don't remember."
" Isn't it funny? Even I don't remember her name," smirked Song Yan as she slammed the brush on the table startling Fang Yanli. " I can remember all the arrays, spells and hand signs but I cannot remember the name of that woman. It seems to me, that she was quite conscious of her pretty name."
" Yan Yan, what do you mean?" Fang Yanli was confused by Song Yan's sudden outburst but then she heard the woman say,
" Nothing, I am just touched by a certain someone's attention and care," she sneered. " It will be too heartless of me if I can't even recall the name of that woman who paid such great attention to me."
