My Highness Hears My Thoughts, And Still Plays Along-Chapter 437 - 419:
Without Nangong Mo causing interruptions, Yun Ran calmed down and thought about many things.
The events of that night were truly bizarre and strange.
She was walking back along the road, clearly within the camp, so how did she mysteriously end up on the mountain?
And she had no recollection of it at all!
No matter how hard she tried to remember, it was as if one moment she was walking down the road, and the next she suddenly transcended space to appear on the mountain, with the entire process in between being a complete blank.
She couldn’t have really traveled through time, so how she got to the mountain was crucial.
According to Yue Ying, she wounded Nangong Mo at that time, and afterwards, all she had in her mind were fragmented images, no complete memories. Just like how she couldn’t remember how she got to the mountain.
And, how could she possibly attack him? Unless her mind had been controlled, Soul Capturing Technique? Mind Confusing Gu?
But even if she had accidentally fallen into a trap, she should have sensed something, at least know who plotted against her? When did they conspire? It couldn’t have been so silent and unnoticeable...
Yun Ran frowned in deep thought for a long while, and suddenly a lightbulb went off in her mind. Could it be possible that long, long ago, when she was still Lin Wanyue, she was already plotted against?
Just like Nangong Mo, usually unaware and seemingly ordinary, but in fact, already afflicted by some kind of mystical art? Only when triggered by a certain specific condition does it suddenly take effect?
Thinking of the few times when she inexplicably ’slept’ over, Yun Ran felt this speculation wasn’t impossible. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
However, more than herself, what she’s more concerned about right now is the secret art on Nangong Mo.
She hadn’t noticed a thing before! Even though she had checked his pulse more than once, that art is neither illness nor injury, nor poison, so it doesn’t appear in the pulse, presenting normally just like other people, except when it flares up and reveals anomalies.
Across the vast world and ancient times, the universe vast and boundless, this expansive realm holds countless mysterious and unfathomable taboos and secrets, intriguing and beyond imagination, distant as mythology.
She still cannot determine what kind of art it actually is, or rather, whether it truly is some kind of mysterious art?
All it is, within her scope of knowledge, are the possibilities of the five types of arts: techniques, spells, arts, methods, or Gu.
Gu, she is quite familiar with, but the other four...
She had only seen some scattered records in ancient scrolls, at a young age then, feeling mysterious, bizarre, and obscure.
Out of curiosity about the mysterious unknown, she had wanted to study them carefully, yet never expected the old man to be so agitated!
He strongly opposed, resolutely stifled! Even had her senior brothers and sisters watch over her in shifts for twelve hours every day, leaving her no chance at all to secretly learn!
Looking at how tense he was back then, as if it were some dark and ominous evil taboo, that catching onto it would bring great misfortune...
Later, she gave up, never imagining that one day she would encounter it!
However, as she doesn’t understand this art, she cannot dispel it from him.
If she had known earlier, she should have insisted on learning it thoroughly no matter what!
Unfortunately, the world has no ’if only’...
But, the old man should know something, and perhaps he has a way to resolve it.
So, she needs to find a time to take him back to Tianyin Pavilion?
Previously bound, unable to leave the area within three hundred li around Tianchu Capital City, but now, she’s unsure if her merits are complete, granting her the freedom to go as she pleases?
