Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: Pursue Again?
Gu Yuena seemed to realize something, turned her head to look at Tang Wulin, and asked in confusion, âAre you saying heâŠâ
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, âYou have also been reborn for so many years. You should know some of the history of our Douluo Federation. Ten thousand years ago, there were two individuals who stood at the apex of the Continent and ultimately saved all of humanity. They were the then Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy and Sea Godâs Pavilion, Tang Wulin, who possessed the Four-Word Battle Armor Golden Dragon Moon Song. And the then Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yuena, who possessed the Silver Dragon Wulin Battle Armor.â
âIt seems Iâve heard about it.â Gu Yuenaâs brow furrowed slightly; she seemed to have understood something.
Lan Xuanyu looked at her, then at Tang Wulin, âThose two, they are you! And you both are also my dad and mom. So just now, dad didnât mean to be abrupt with you, but was just too excited to see you awaken, and couldnât hold back. Thatâs why he embraced you. The song dad sang for you, the lyrics are about everything that once happened between you two.â
Gu Yuena looked at him, then at Tang Wulin who was gazing earnestly from not far away, and hesitated, âYou mean to say, I am your mom, he is your dad? Then weââ
Lan Xuanyu quickly nodded, âYes! You two are husband and wife.â
Gu Yuena was stunned, then suddenly shook her head forcefully, âNo, I donât believe it. I have some memories, even those Iâve forgotten, I can be certain that Iâve never been married.â
âAh?â Lan Xuanyu was surprised as he looked at her, then at Tang Wulin not far away. His face showed a querying expression. Only Tang Wulin knew the clearest about everything that happened back then.
Tang Wulinâs gaze instantly became confused, as if he had returned to ten thousand years ago. Everything that had happened back then was deeply etched in his memory.
A bitter smile appeared on his lips, âYes, sheâs right. We werenât married back then. Or rather, she rejected my proposal. At that time, she must have already had you. We were on different sides, and by then, she must have decided to sacrifice herself for my sake. Thatâs why she rejected my marriage proposal, but I still remember, at that time, she accepted the engagement ring I gave her.â
As he spoke, he walked over to Lan Xuanyu, took his hand, and lightly touched it, removing the ring that had transformed from the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Spear.
He held the ring in the palm of his hand and presented it to Gu Yuena, âDo you remember it? I put it on you myself back then. And it was after wearing this ring that you revealed your identity and showed your intentions to overthrow humanity.â
Nana stared blankly at the ring in Tang Wulinâs palm, her eyes instantly reddening. But in the next instant, she suddenly screamed, clutched her head with both hands as if enduring some severe pain, and collapsed into Lan Xuanyuâs arms.
Lan Xuanyu was startled and quickly held her tight. Tang Wulin became even more anxious, quickly stuffed the ring into Lan Xuanyuâs hand, and helped him support Nana.
âMom, whatâs wrong with you?â Lan Xuanyu noticed that Nanaâs body was shaking badly, sweat was seeping from her forehead, her eyes tightly closed, as if enduring some intense pain.
âDad, stop talking. Mom seems unable to withstand the shock. It was like this before, whenever she recalled the past, it would cause her a severe headache,â Lan Xuanyu hurriedly said to Tang Wulin next to him.
âI understand, I do too. Iâll stop talking, I wonât say anything anymore,â said Tang Wulin, concernedly grabbing Gu Yuenaâs hand, gently infusing her with his Soul Power. His divine consciousness slightly fluctuated, turning into the mildest spiritual fluctuation to soothe her emotional turmoil.
After quite a while, Gu Yuena slowly came to her senses, her gaze somewhat dazed, âWhat, what happened to me?â
Lan Xuanyu quickly said, âMom, donât think about anything, just donât think and youâll be fine. Itâs all in the past.â
Gu Yuena looked at him, then at Tang Wulin, who was anxiously by Lan Xuanyuâs side, âWere we once lovers?â
Tang Wulin gazed at her with a somewhat vacant look, paused for a moment, then said softly, âEverything from ten thousand years ago has already passed. That was just our past. Since your body subconsciously does not want to recall everything that happened, then donât. We should only look forward, only at the future. Just treat me like a stranger for now, my greatest debt in this life is to you, and I will spend the rest of my life protecting you. Whether you recover your memories or not is not important. Whatâs important is that we can be together in the future. You donât have to accept me for now, just give me a chance to see you every day, and I will be content.â
Gu Yuena stared blankly at him, her eyes somewhat puzzled, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she felt some pain.
âMy thoughts are a bit chaotic. I need some time to calm down,â she said with effort.
âOkay, okay. Whatever makes you comfortable,â Tang Wulin hurriedly retreated to one side, ensuring he was out of Gu Yuenaâs line of sight.
He had already decided in his heart that as long as Gu Yuena allowed him to keep seeing her, even if she didnât recognize him for the time being, it didnât matter. They had plenty of time in the future. If necessary, just like Xuanyu said, he could pursue her all over again.
Gu Yuena gradually regained her composure and looked toward the surface of Sea Godâs Lake, âIs today the Sea Godâs Luck matchmaking event?â
âYes! I just completed the matchmaking with Xiuxiu, mom, she is mine now. Itâs such good timing that you woke up. Itâs just the right moment to witness this scene,â Lan Xuanyu said as he looked towards Bai Xiuxiu standing beside Gu Yuena. Bai Xiuxiuâs pretty face blushed, but she did not deny it.
Looking at them, the smile on Gu Yuenaâs face immediately became much richer, âIn the future, you must be good to Xiuxiu. Although I canât remember why I was frozen and couldnât be with you, it must surely be because of your fatherâs ill-treatment of me.â
Standing behind, Tang Wulin felt as if he had suffered a ten-thousand-point critical hit.
âIâŠâ He wanted to say something, but recalling Gu Yuenaâs recent recovery from her headache, he couldnât bring himself to speak out.
Lan Xuanyuâs expression was also quite something to behold. Although he really wanted to help his father, at times like these, saying too much might make his mother sick again, and saying too little seemed pointlessâŠ
âMom, do you remember attending the Sea Godâs Luck matchmaking event in the past?â Lan Xuanyu quickly changed the subject.
âMe? I donât remember,â Gu Yuena replied softly, shaking her head. Her gaze was fixed on the surface of Sea Godâs Lake, so Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu standing beside her could not see the look in her eyes. Her eyes revealed confusion, as well as traces of memories and wistfulness.
The matchmaking event continued, with each young man experiencing joy or sorrow in the love-at-second-sight segment. The most tragic outcome was having all the light columns extinguished. And for those who left the light column on but refused to lift their veils and bamboo hats, it could be quite troublesome for the male students. They didnât know whether the girls who had chosen them were the ones they adored.
In this tense yet somewhat hesitant atmosphere, it soon came to be the turn of Lan Xuanyuâs familiar comrade.
âLiu Feng, please step forward.â Liu Feng glided gracefully across the lotus leaves and slowly emerged from his side to the center of the area.
Shan Wei smiled and said, âDo you have anything you want to say to our Sea Godâs fair maidens?â
In the first two segments of the Sea Godâs Luck matchmaking event, the focus was on the girls â whether they chose to keep their light columns on would determine the direction of the entire subsequent matchmaking process. Hence, in the first two segments, the boys usually tried their best to impress, while the girls carefully made their choices.
In the third segment, there would be a reversal. The boys would gain the right to choose. And the last segment was to confirm if the two people could be together, which also featured a challenge segment. If two individuals were both enamored with the same person, they could engage in a bride-snatching method to compete for her. Defeating the rival might just afford a chance to change the mind of the beloved.
