Chapter 426: Dinner Time
*Clatter!*
Continue your journey with empire
Sitting at the dining table, Yuan Ming and Tian Heng stared blankly at the empty plates and bowls before them. Their minds still could not get over what they had heard earlier.
—A Few Moments Ago—
"What’s going on? Why can’t we remember anything?" Tian Heng started to panic. Yuan Ming was no different; he clutched the sheets of the bed he was sitting on.
Wuhan glanced at Noah and asked, "Does it have something to do with that?"
"Yeah, it looks like the first thing that curse targeted was their memories." After some thinking, Noah nodded, looking at the two of them.
"Curse?" Yuan Ming thought out loud. He started to recall that the sword spirit had told him something like that as well. But it did not say anything about memory loss, and this was not the first time that they were missing some memories. During the time they were crossing the borders of Tian Heng’s empire, they faced a similar incident.
"The people who kidnapped you placed a curse on you two. We believe that the curse was the reason you two lost some of your memories as well." Wuhan sighed and explained everything to them.
"Master, are we still cursed?" Tian Heng asked as Yuan Ming’s eyes shook. Since his curse was broken by the sword, he did not feel any discomfort and forgot about the curse.
"Don’t worry about that. The curse was removed after you were rescued, and there should be no problems anymore." Wuhan replied with a wide smile, avoiding bringing Noah’s name into it so that they didn’t ask any questions regarding that.
Yuan Ming was rendered speechless when he heard his master’s words. The sword told him that removing the curse for one person was very difficult, and now Wuhan was telling him that the curse had been removed. He did not know which one to believe.
"The curse is awfully close to infecting her soul core, but it hasn’t done that yet. None of us are powerful enough to save her without killing her in the process." Wuhan lowered his head in helplessness, unable to look at the pitiful state of his disciple.
His other two disciples felt their hearts shattering. During their journey, they got close to Song Liu; she was almost like their family.
"So, are we going to give up on her?" Tian Heng asked with an empty voice and his head lowered.
"No one is giving up on her!" Wuhan spoke up sharply. He raised his head looked at the screen and added, "No matter how long it takes, I will make sure to find a cure for her problem! As long as the curse does not touch her soul core, there is still hope."
"I believe in her. She will definitely pull through this." Noah commented while giving his friend a small pat on the back. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the last person lying in the room and saw the eyelids trembling a little before returning to normal.
*Clang!*
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two of them snapped out of their thoughts and raised their heads, looking away from the empty bowls and plates.
Seeing the person who entered the room, their eyes widened in shock. Wuhan, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled upon seeing the person.
"Where should I sit?" Shisan asked coldly, ignoring Wuhan’s eyes.
"Take a seat anywhere you like." Noah nodded at her slightly before looking around the empty seats at the twelve-seat table. Since Noah was sitting beside Wuhan, Shisan walked towards the other end of the table and sat far away from them.
Soon, the aroma of warm, delicious food reached their noses, attracting everyone’s attention. They all turned their attention towards the door and watched Xin Yan walking inside the room with Wu Ping following behind her, carrying a large tray filled with different dishes.
Wuhan gulped his saliva nervously, wondering which one of those dishes was made for him.
