“He woke up!”

“Really? Quick, call the others!”

When he woke up, he found people around him starting to make a fuss. They're too happy because he's awake, maybe?

“Long XuanShan, how are you feeling? Is there anything uncomfortable?” ask the doctor-clothed woman by her bedside.

“What... Long XuanShan you mean it's me?”

“Eh?” the woman looked very surprised. “Are you sure? You don't remember your name at all? Is there any part of your body that hurts?”

The one called Long XuanShan replied, “I feel my body is fine. But I don't remember anything at all.”

Suddenly, someone came into his room. The person had facial features similar to her. It's just, he's older.

“Xuan’er, my grandson, are you okay?” that person immediately hugged her with a haru expression. The healer lady beside him hurriedly pulled him over to talk about something.

The healer woman brought the person who was likely her grandfather out. While Long XuanShan was left alone inside the room.

Before long, the two of them finally returned. But his grandfather's face wasn't very good. It was as if he had received a heavy blow.

“Xuan’er, I am your grandfather, Long XiaoChen. It's okay if you don't remember anything. We will find a solution later,” Long XiaoChen tried to comfort Long XuanShan by stroking his head affectionately.

“Uhm, thank you, grandfather,” Long XuanShan replied to his grandfather with a smile. He did not feel any discomfort, so maybe Long XiaoChen did not lie and he was really his grandfather.

Although he lost his memory, he was still able to do motor activities. So this memory problem should not be too big.

He recognized himself as Long XuanShan, the Young Patriarch of one of the Sage Clans, the Long Clan. His grandfather was Long XiaoChen, the Patriarch who was in charge at the moment. Long XiaoChen also told something very secretive.

His grandfather told him almost everything about himself. From his childhood, his achievements, even some girls who almost betrothed him. But he hid some events before he lost his memory.

Finally, Long XuanShan managed to recall a few things even if not much. Like the name of the physician woman. She was Qi Huang Ye, her medicine-expert aunt.

The crescent moon became a sky pendant that shone brightly among the sparkling stars. Is beautiful. And Long XuanShan was enjoying this scene while sitting on the roof.

The night wind blew away some of her unraveling hair. Even though it had entered late autumn, he did not feel the cold at all.

“Young Master, Patriarch wants you to meet him. Your clothes are ready as well. Is-..”

“Put it in the room. I'll be there in a moment,” Long XuanShan quickly cut off the servant's words.

Before descending, Long XuanShan stared at the moon that was not half that once again. “Monthly...beautiful, yes?”

✾✾✾

Year 11400 Calendar Month,

“Monthly...beautiful, yes?”

White String stared at the reflection of the night sky above the surface of the lake. The moon was only one, but he alone could defeat the charm of millions, or billions of stars in the sky.

“A very peaceful night.”

Or don't.

While humming a song he somehow remembered, White String was strolling over the surface of the lake water. He became like a hermit who alienated himself from worldly affairs.

“What do those people do?” suddenly White String sensed some foreign figures entering the Thousand Swords Mountain Sect's area.

After locking their auras, he sent out a message through the token to several Elders.

✾✾✾

Six people dressed in black hid in the darkness. Their auras were so thin that it was extremely difficult to find them if they did not see them. But their techniques to mask the aura were useless to the White String.

The men wore black robes with a picture of a red-eyed bat stamped on their backs. On their left chest, embroidered the Blood Bat Sect character in blood red. Each one of them were quite powerful Heavenly Qi Realm experts.

“Isn't this too easy, chief?” said one of their members who was behind the chairman. The chairman did not glance at the members.

“After all, this is the mission of the sect. We must not underestimate it or we can fail,” the chairman said in half a whisper.

They checked the mission carefully. In some cases, they will have to die if this mission fails. To maintain the secrecy of the sect.

The chief had felt an uneasy premonition since entering the Thousand Swords Mountain Sect area. He also felt strange because this mission seemed too easy.

Currently, the Patriarch's residence was already visible in his sight. He just needs to infiltrate and ensure Ji Changkong's death. Even if he failed, escaping should not be difficult.

Before he started to completely move, his entire body suddenly felt stiff. The other members experienced the same. Slowly their bodies were also stiff and could not be moved.

Some tried to bite their own tongues knowing this mission had failed before they started it. Before their tongues were completely bitten, a block of wood suddenly existed in their mouths.

“Hai, how are you?” greet White String to the six of them. They were unable to say anything because their mouths were gagged when they saw a strange person suddenly appear and asked them for news.

Suicide when a mission fails is common. White String was also not surprised at this. He let the swordsman of the blood urn bite the wooden block rather than die biting his own tongue.

“Oh, I forgot. You guys can't talk right now. So how about we play rigging?” White String grasped a rope that he got out of nowhere.

“Mmph...mmmph.(.What happened?)” said their chief. “Nununu...mmm...mis.(..Where do I know, you're the chairman.)” reply one of the members. “Mm? Mm.mm.mm.Heye? What are you guys talking about?)” ask other members.

“I was ignored, huh?” white String asked himself when he saw the members of the Blood Bat Sect communicating with each other in a strange language. “Do you guys not know how to use voice transmission(telepathy)? You guys look like idiots.”

“Mmm...mmm,mm.(.Who's the idiot? That's you!)” exclaim the chairman. “Mm,mmm...mmph.(.But chairman, he has a point.)” said the member beside the chairman. “Mm...mmm...mmm!(Shut up!)” reply to the chairman to the member.

White String patted his forehead looking at this incident. “Why do great black flow sects like Blood Bat Sect have fools like them?” he subconsciously praised the demon sect.

Rather than listening to the vague talk between the chairman and his members, it was better for the White String to make them faint first before tying them to a nearby tree.

While cleaning the dust from his palm, he admired the work of his rope. “I don't think it's too bad. At least they would not be able to escape if they had woken up. I have to leave immediately before anyone comes,” then White String disappears from the place.

Shortly after, two Elders arrived. One of them was Elder Lang, who brought the White String to the Thousand Swords Mountain Sect. The only one was Elder Du, who was in charge of the Patriarch's security.

“Elder Lang, look!” Elder Du pointed to one of the trees where there were six people tied up. “Elder Du, let's check.”
