Su Yan and Hua Wuqing stepped down from the car.

They entered the inn.

She first settled Hua Wuqing in.

Then said,

"I’m going to the village, I’ll be back soon."

Hua Wuqing held Su Yan’s hand, with no intention of letting go.

"I want to go with you."

Su Yan thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"You wait here."

Probably Feng Zhi is there as well.

She was afraid of running into someone who knew Hua Wuqing’s true identity from that day.

Hua Wuqing didn’t let go and was quite assertive.

"I want to follow you."

Ever since that day when Su Yan said he could speak and act like he used to.

Hua Wuqing’s demeanor changed from a taciturn expressionless face to a talkative one who liked to make unreasonable demands, still with an expressionless face.

Su Yan saw he was determined to follow her.

Thought for a while.

"You can go, but cover your face."

Hua Wuqing wasn’t happy upon hearing that.

He sulked and stayed silent.

Su Yan looked at him.

"So, do you want to wear a mask and go, or stay here waiting for me to return?"

Hua Wuqing thought for a moment.

"I want to go with you without wearing a mask."

Having memories and not having them truly makes a difference.

Harder to fool now, huh?

Before, Su Yan worried someone might take him to a brothel again.

Seems there’s no need to worry too much now.

Su Yan pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve, folded it slightly, then covered the area below his nose with it and tied it securely.

Although he was unhappy, he didn’t take it off.

He just held Su Yan’s hand, sullenly said,

"When can I take it off?"

"When we get back from the village, you can take it off."

"Alright."

He responded sullenly.

Didn’t say anything else.

Then, Su Yan led this individual, who at a glance looked like a peerless beauty, the Sect Hierarch, towards the small village.

This time, Ying didn’t follow them.

Not because he completely trusted Su Yan.

But because his Sect Hierarch didn’t allow him to go.

Su Yan pulled Hua Wuqing along the street.

Even with his face covered, he had a high rate of turning heads.

Almost every girl passing by couldn’t help but glance.

Even attracted quite a few men’s attention.

Until they walked out of the small town.

The sulky Hua Wuqing finally spoke.

"I don’t want to wear this mask."

Su Yan looked at him seriously and asked,

"Why?"

Hua Wuqing replied,

"They’re all looking at me."

Su Yan listened to this reason quietly for a while.

"Do you think taking off the mask will stop them from looking at you?"

Xiao Hua said,

"Host, the Lord Hero doesn’t go out much, right? It seems he might have some misconceptions about himself."

People looked even when wearing a mask.

Without the mask, afraid some would stop dead in their tracks staring.

Hua Wuqing thought briefly.

"Probably."

Finally, Hua Wuqing thought of some things that happened when he had no memory.

He fell silent.

Then, holding Su Yan’s hand, he didn’t bring up removing the mask again.

Arriving at that small village.

Contrary to Su Yan’s expectations.

It was no longer the scene of desolation and hopeless wailing as before.

Children playing together, each household seemed to have returned to normal.

But upon closer inspection, one could still find the villagers had bruises and sores.

Probably thanks to Qin Luoyu’s medicine’s effect.

Among the children was an adult, playing hide and seek with the kids.

As they played, the woman turned around and, seeing Su Yan, her eyes lit up.

With a smile on her face, waving her hand,

"Su Yan! Here, over here!!"

Su Yan followed the voice and looked over.

It was Feng Zhi.
