Chapter 101

Gu Bai didn't have to worry for too long before he found out where he was.

This was the Immortal Realm that all cultivators of the lower realm yearned for. The golden-robed man was indeed called Yin Li. He was the Emperor of the entire Immortal Realm.

Moreover, the other party was his former lover … His former name was Yin Baigu. He wasn't a human, but a puppet!

Yes, according to the servant's narration and the memories Yin Li had shared with him, he was originally a puppet that Yin Li had made himself when he was still cultivating in the lower realm.

Puppets weren't rare in the Immortal Realm. Many cultivators and even demonic cultivators had them. They could be used as weapons to help in fights, or they could be used as cleaners.

In essence, they were like robots, but they were more flexible. Apart from the fact that they didn't have souls, they looked similar to humans.

However, when he was successfully refined, he unexpectedly gained spiritual intelligence. Although his body was still that of a puppet, he had the thoughts and soul of a human, becoming a real puppet.

His body was refined from the bones of the ancestors of each of the hundred clans in the Immortal Realm. The person who created him was Yin Li, so he was named Yin Baigu.

Since the day he was born, he had been cultivating with Yin Li. From the Immortal Realm to the Immortal Realm, they had been together for thousands of years.

Until the great war between the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm three thousand years ago, when he was seriously injured.

Because he was neither a human nor a ghost, neither a demon nor a demon nor a spirit, he was a puppet that was separated from the Six Realms. After death, he couldn't be reincarnated. Therefore, he used the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana Technique. His remaining soul went down to the lower realm to experience the tribulation and wait for his rebirth.

Because the Nirvana Rebirth would wash away all of his past, he lost all of his previous memories …

Gu Bai was silent after hearing this.

This story was very perfect and well-founded. Even in the memories that Yin Li had shared with him, there were many scenes of Yin Baigu and Yin Li together. It couldn't be faked.

But … he didn't believe it!

Because one of the most suspicious points was Yin Baigu's appearance. Shockingly, it was that handsome young man he'd seen in the relief sculpture in the interstellar tomb.

From the memory fragments that Yin Li had shared with him, he believed in Yin Baigu's background and the relationship between Yin Baigu and Yin Li. He also believed that he might be Yin Baigu, but he didn't believe in the love between Yin Baigu and Yin Li.

If Yin Li hadn't shown him those memories, perhaps he would have doubted and wondered if those were the forgotten memories of the past.

However, at this moment, it was precisely because of these fragments of memory that he was certain that everything Yin Li said was a lie!

Even though in these fragments, he saw Yin Baigu smile intimately at Yin Li, but he didn't see a trace of love in Yin Baigu's eyes.

If a person truly loved another person, then no matter how much they tried to hide it, it would be obvious from their eyes. However, in these images, he only saw Yin Baigu's obedience and admiration towards Yin Li, because Yin Li was the master who created him.

On the other hand, in every carving in the interstellar tomb, Yin Baigu's gaze towards Ye Cang was so sweet and affectionate. Those clear eyes reflected Ye Cang's figure.

Even if he had seen it wrongly or understood it wrongly, these carvings proved one thing: Yin Baigu and Ye Cang definitely knew each other in the past.

However, in Yin Li's story, Ye Cang's name was never mentioned from beginning to end, as if his existence was intentionally erased.

It was obvious that Yin Li was hiding something from him …..

After a while, Gu Bai raised his head and looked straight at the person in front of him. "Can those memories be recovered?"

Without his own memories, he still believed in his own feelings. Moreover, Yin Li's story had so many suspicious points.

Gu Bai's gaze was too direct and clear. Yin Li looked at his own reflection in those eyes and felt a little happy and a little guilty. He was happy that this person only had eyes for him, but he was guilty that there was a sense of alienation and wariness in that clear gaze.

"It's okay if you don't have your past memories. In the future, we will have a lot of time to create new memories ….."

He couldn't help but reach out and hug Gu Bai's head. He rested his chin on his forehead and didn't want Gu Bai to see his frightened expression and gaze.

Gu Bai struggled uncomfortably. Every time Yin Li came close to him, the inexplicable resistance in his heart would emerge.

However, the difference in strength made it impossible for him to resist. In the Immortal Realm, even a little fairy who swept the floor had a higher cultivation level than him, let alone a celestial emperor.

"I don't remember anything you said. I just met you. Can you give me some time to recover?"

Unable to resist, he could only show weakness. Gu Bai suppressed the resistance in his heart and asked softly. He wanted to delay as long as possible.

This reaction was normal for people who had lost their memories. Yin Li didn't suspect anything and agreed very indulgently. The affection in his eyes was enough to move anyone.

Unfortunately, Gu Bai wasn't moved at all. No matter how deep the affection in Yin Li's eyes was, he didn't believe it, because his heart was already occupied by another man.

In the following period of time, Gu Bai began to discreetly glean useful information from the surrounding fairy attendants.

However, these fairy attendants were very tight-lipped. They wouldn't say anything to him. He also didn't dare to directly ask about Ye Cang.

After all, from Yin Li's behavior, he didn't seem to know that he already knew Ye Cang. Furthermore, he was deliberately hiding it. It was obvious that he didn't want him to know about Ye Cang's existence.

However, even though he didn't get any information about Ye Cang, from the looks of fear on the fairy attendants' faces when he asked about the past, everything in the past was definitely not as simple as Yin Li made it out to be …

During this period of time, Yin Li, other than occasionally discussing some matters with the Immortal Minister, stayed by his side the whole time. He brought him to see the courtyard of the Heavenly Palace, the beautiful scenery, and gently told him about their 'past'.

Gu Bai didn't feel anything at all, but he listened very cooperatively. Occasionally, he would smile at Yin Li. Every time that happened, he would discover that Yin Li's eyes would reveal both joy and fear.

He was happy that the person he liked was smiling at him. But why was he afraid? What was he afraid of?

After Yin Li left, Gu Bai finally stopped smiling and calmed down.

The Immortal Realm's scenery was very beautiful. Every place was more beautiful than the famous mountains and rivers of the mortal realm. However, Gu Bai could only look at it from afar. He couldn't go out to look, because without Yin Li's company, he couldn't leave this palace.

He casually brushed a bright red potted flower on the windowsill and asked the attendant beside him.

"You look like you've been in the Immortal Realm for a long time. Did you know me before?"

Since he couldn't ask about Ye Cang, then he would ask about himself. There was no such thing as perfect logic in the world. He didn't believe that he couldn't find a loophole.

When the attendant heard the question, he immediately answered respectfully.

"In reply to the Immortal Lord, this Immortal has been in the Immortal Realm for exactly three thousand years. I had just ascended back then. Although I was a servant in the Heavenly Palace, I have heard of the Immortal Lord …"

"Oh, was I that famous before?

Tell me, what kind of person was I before? "Gu Bai raised his eyebrows with interest.

The attendant instinctively stopped talking, but then he remembered that 'Baigu's ban' had been lifted. It wouldn't be a problem to mention it, so he relaxed and continued to answer.

"This Immortal has never interacted with the Immortal Lord, so I don't dare to comment. However, I've heard from other Immortals that the Immortal Lord is a carefree person with a high cultivation base. During the invasion of the Demonic Realm, you killed many demons and made great contributions to the Immortal Realm …"

"Is that so?

I'm that powerful? "Gu Bai was surprised.

"The Immortal Lord was personally created by the Immortal Lord. His life is connected to the Immortal Lord, and he has also received a thousand years of guidance from the Immortal Lord. He is the Immortal Lord of the Immortal Realm …"

The attendant answered respectfully. Gu Bai smiled and continued.

"It's a pity that I don't remember any of this. By the way, what did you say about the invasion of the Demonic Realm?

Yin Li told me that I was injured in that battle. However, you said that my cultivation base was high. How could I have been injured to the point where I almost turned into ashes? "

As soon as he finished speaking, the attendant seemed to remember something. Fear appeared on his face, and he lowered his head and stammered.

"This … this Immortal Lord isn't too sure. This Immortal Lord had just ascended back then, and didn't participate in the battle. I only heard about it from other Immortals …"

His stuttering was obviously an excuse. Gu Bai raised his guard and didn't pursue the matter any further. He moved on to the next topic.

"Alright then, I'll ask someone else another day. By the way, did I have any good friends in the Immortal Realm?

Why is it that no one has come to talk to me after I've been back for so many days? Could it be that my character was so bad that I didn't even have any friends in the past …? "

This was also the question that Gu Bai had been thinking about for the past few days. If what the attendant said was true, that he was a carefree and easy-going person, then such an extrovert should have many friends. Even if he didn't have many, he should have at least one or two friends.

However, apart from Yin Li and the attendant Xian 'e, no one else had come to see him, talk to him, or reminisce about the past. This was too strange. Could it be that his character was so bad in the past?

Hearing the question, the attendant opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say. However, when he met Gu Bai's scrutinizing gaze, he didn't dare to disobey. After hesitating for a while, he smiled fawningly.

"Immortal Lord, you're thinking too much …"

"Is that so?

Then tell me, who was the closest to me in the past?

I'm really bored here, so I want to go out for a walk. I want to see more of the places I've been to before, and see more of the people I used to know. Perhaps then I'll be able to remember … "

Gu Bai stared at the attendant, scrutinizing him. If he couldn't do it alone, then he could ask a few more people. He could always find a flaw.

"This, this … This little immortal's status is low. This little immortal had just ascended when Immortal Lord left. I've only heard about Immortal Lord from others. If Immortal Lord is really curious, it's best to ask the Emperor …"

After the attendant finished speaking, he lowered his head and didn't say another word. He was tight-lipped.

"Alright, I'll ask the Emperor. You can leave now …"

Gu Bai nodded and dismissed the attendant.

When he was the only one left in the bedchamber, his expression darkened, and an inexplicable sense of tyranny rose in his heart.
