Chapter 371: Chapter 369: Liu Ling’Er’s Troubles
Su Qing entered the young girl’s room.
The room was very big.
Yet it felt small.
Because painted scrolls were everywhere.
The images on these scrolls were all indistinct.
Their colors were especially vibrant.
They hung on the walls.
The girl herself was dressed in stain-resistant clothes, her face and hands smudged with paint.
She frowned every time.
She would think for a long time before putting brush to paper.
It was a form of stubbornness.
She was already tall, around 1.7 meters in height.
Su Qing studied her paintings.
These paintings weren’t of the scenery on the Jianmu.
They didn’t seem to be landscapes at all.
The paint was applied thickly, and she didn’t render any fine details.
Just rough impressions.
...
The girl still paused to think for a long time after each stroke.
He could tell.
The paints were all made from natural pigments.
They must have cost a fortune.
The girl’s parents treated her well.
Su Qing saw some books on a table.
*The Reincarnator*
*How Reincarnators Recognize Themselves*
*Method of Memory Sealing*
*Memory Path Cultivation Method*
*Ancestral Land Soul Sealing Technique*
...
Curious, Su Qing picked up the book on the Soul Sealing Technique.
He flipped to the last page.
Su Qing had no idea what it was talking about.
His synthesis panel didn’t show any description either.
’Fake.’
’Useless.’
Su Qing shook his head.
’It seems the memories from Liu Linlin’s soul have surfaced.’
The young girl was very troubled.
As the girl was contemplating her next stroke...
Su Qing couldn’t help but say in a gentle voice, "Go on and paint. Paint however you want."
"Why the hesitation?"
The man’s voice startled the young girl.
She turned toward the sound.
’This man’s face...’
’Isn’t he that man from a few years ago?’
Liu Ling’Er was confused.
"Are you the uncle who came to my house a few years ago?"
’Uncle?’
Su Qing was left speechless.
’How do I look like an uncle?’
’Ah, whatever. Let her call me what she wants.’
"That’s right. I’m surprised you still remember," Su Qing said with a smile.
The *Ancestral Land Soul Sealing Technique* in his hand suddenly burst into flames.
"What are you doing?"
The sudden flames startled Liu Ling’Er.
Luckily, Su Qing had blocked the sound, preventing her two parents from eavesdropping outside the door.
"This book is useless. Sometimes, you need to determine for yourself whether a book is truly useful."
The book was gone.
"You... am I a Reincarnator?"
"Why won’t Mom and Dad answer me when I ask?"
"Of course you are."
"Otherwise, why would I have come back to see you? Why would I have brought you a gift?"
The round bead on the table sat in a conspicuous spot.
"No wonder... But why do I dream every day? I dream of so many things."
"Those people, those events... they’re all so blurry in my mind." Liu Ling’Er put down her brush and walked up to Su Qing to ask.
’Without a doubt, this man before me might be connected to my past life.’
"If you can’t remember, why keep trying to?"
Su Qing asked, puzzled.
"..."
"But... there are some wonderful feelings in them. I want to paint them."
"Perhaps you only have a sense of the beautiful things. The painful ones, you’ve simply forgotten."
"Liu Ling’Er, don’t dwell on the past. The past isn’t important."
"If you really want to understand everything..."
"I can help you. But that kind of help will turn you into someone else."
"The fusion of two sets of memories will only cause you more distress," Su Qing sighed.
’This must be the time when Liu Ling’Er is searching for her own identity.’
’Unfortunately, her parents never clearly told her that she’s a Reincarnator.’
’The way her parents treat her is inconsistent.’
’This causes a conflict between her self-perception and how her parents see her, which only confuses her more.’
"So, I really am a Reincarnator?"
"Are you a Cultivator of the Memory Dao Path?"
"You could say that."
"That bead, have you looked into it?" Su Qing asked, puzzled.
"I have. It was after looking into it that my memories of the dreams became clearer," Liu Ling’Er said with a complicated expression.
"So what are your thoughts?"
"I..." Liu Ling’Er desperately wanted to ask him to restore her past life’s memories.
But then...
she remembered the first sentence of the book *The Reincarnator*.
"Remember, reincarnation is a new beginning. Do not cling to the past."
"Uncle, was I as powerful as you in my past life?" Liu Ling’Er asked curiously.
Su Qing was puzzled.
A strange look entered his eyes.
"You? Your past self? I could have crushed her with a flip of my hand," Su Qing said proudly.
Liu Ling’Er pouted, her face full of disbelief.
"No way. If we were partners on the same Dao Path, the gap in our strength couldn’t have been that huge, right?"
"Nothing is impossible."
"Besides, you don’t even know what the relationship between your past self and me was," Su Qing said with a smile.
"Besides, you’ve read about the Ancestral Land in those books."
"Don’t you know what the Ancestral Land is really like?"
"That’s no territory for a Dao Path."
Su Qing explained.
"The Ancestral Land? So you’re from the Ancestral Land?"
"..."
"Could it be the great chaos in the Ancestral Land thirteen years ago?"
Liu Ling’Er compared that to her own age.
Her expression drooped. ’He’s right.’
’If she really was his friend...’
’...that would have been the time when the most Reincarnators from the Ancestral Land appeared.’
"Understand now? You’re just a fish that slipped through the net, but I found you."
"I think we’ve talked long enough. Inside the bead are some scenes from the Ancestral Land."
"Don’t be attached to the days of the past."
"You and I both must face the present."
"Alright, this conversation is over."
"If you decide you want your past life’s memories, be prepared to pay the price of fusing them. You can bring it up the next time I come to see you."
After Su Qing spoke his last words...
...his body dissolved into particles and vanished before the girl’s eyes.
Liu Ling’Er was stunned.
’That uncle...’
’He’s kind of amazing.’
She looked at her half-finished painting.
She thought about the scenes from her dreams.
Liu Ling’Er no longer seemed so fixated on them.
She picked up the bead and began to study it.
"The Ancestral Land... is that the sky?"
「Outside the room.」
Liu Changge and Li Miaoyu had been pressed against the door, listening for a long time.
When they finally heard some movement and tried to listen more closely...
CLICK.
Liu Ling’Er suddenly opened the door, the bead in her hand.
"Dad, Mom, what are you two doing at my door!"
"Were you trying to eavesdrop?" Liu Ling’Er demanded angrily.
She could tell that the "uncle" had already spoken with her parents; otherwise, they wouldn’t have this kind of reaction.
The two of them put on awkward yet polite smiles.
They were already scrambling for an explanation.
...
Su Qing walked down a road.
He looked up at the sky.
It was filled with dark Stars.
There was no sunlight to speak of.
For someone used to a normal sky, living here would definitely require some adjustment.
’I’ve been in seclusion for so long. I suppose I need a bit of a diversion.’
’The Immortal Stone launcher...’
’I really want to see if it can be used against the Greed Realm.’
It would be a lie to say Su Qing felt no hatred.
When he fought the Greed Realm, Su Qing had considered using the launcher against It.
It was the first time he hadn’t acted on impulse.
The first time he had suppressed his own willfulness.
A decision he chose not to make.
That decision.
Broadly speaking...
...was a good thing.
’The Immortal Enlightenment Tree King...’
’Too bad I don’t have a spare Pocket World.’
’How am I supposed to cultivate it?’
Su Qing wondered.
’Maybe I should just plant it outside?’
’But wouldn’t that be too conspicuous?’
He no longer wanted to interfere in the destinies of others.
"Forget it. Tree King, when the time comes, I’ll find a place to plant you and let you grow slowly,"
Su Qing sighed.
