Chapter Seven Hundred and Thirty Six – Won’t Forget Even In Death
Zuo Mo opened the box and was slightly surprised. “Why are there five Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrasses?”
Yi An said carefully and respectfully, “The two extra are a gift, Rare Artifacts Hall hopes to receive Daren’s protection.”
“Protection?” Zuo Mo immediately react and said after a moment of thought. “You do not have to do this, Kuai An killed the yao elder to help me, I will not stand by and ignore the consequences.”
Yi An grimaced. “There naturally will not be any problems while Daren is here. If Daren leaves, then Rare Artifact Hall will immediately face a calamity.”
Zuo Mo thought and found that Yi An’s analysis was correct. The Yao Council of Elders was a great power. If they wanted to do something from the shadows, then Rare Artifact Hall would be unable to stop them. He would also not stay for a long time at Bu Zhou City.
“You may say what you think,” Zuo Mo asked.
Yi An said in a respectful voice that was filled with confidence. “Daren is must deal with many great matters, and does not have the time for minor matters. While Rare Artifact Hall is not one of the biggest businesses in the mo territories, we have a stable foundation. We can become Daren’s hand in gathering and distributing materials, transporting resources and selling items.”
Zuo Mo was truly surprised now. He hadn’t thought that Yi An’s plan was to fully submit to him. Deeply established family businesses like Rare Artifacts Hall were factions in their own right and would not easily submit to other factions.
“I will agree this to this.” Zuo Mo thought and then said, “But you need to think it through. Once you pick a side, you will not be as idle and free as you are now.”
Yi An’s expression was joyful as he unhesitatingly bowed. “This subordinate has thought this through and this is not an impulse.”
Zuo Mo was very satisfied. Yi An’s Rare Artifacts Hall was an unexpected hall. No matter if it was Yi An’s great experience in managing a business, or Rare Artifacts Hall’s enormous mercantile network, they were all things that the present Mo Cloud Sea desperately needed now.
This was free food dropping down from the sky!
“Do not spread the news right now.” Zuo Mo paused and thought.
Yi An immediately understood. “Yes!”
Zuo Mo said, “It is too dangerous outside. Stay here now, and prepare an auction for the [Angel Device Raiment].”
“Daren is planning to sell the [Angel Device Raiment]?” Yi An was stunned.
“Yes, sell it, it is just a pseudo-shen device.” Zuo Mo nodded and did not expand further. He said casually, “Just some simple preparations.”
Finishing, he disappeared.
He left behind a shocked Yi An. Only now did Yi An realize why even the Yao Council of Elders had come to participate in this event. Pseudo-shen device, the [Angel Device Raiment] was a pseudo-shen device.
Yi An had never seen a shen device and could not make a professional evaluation but just the name was enough to make countless people crazy.
‘Just a pseudo-shen device.’
Daren was probably the only one that dared to say it like that. The shock on Yi An’s face turned into a grimace.
———
Staring at the five Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrasses in the box.
Zuo Mo couldn’t help but become excited. For this he had almost traversed through the greater portion of Hundred Savage Realm. In order to not be disturbed, Zuo Mo came to the underground sacrificial altar.
A Gui and the Black Gold Seal Solder were both standing guard underground. The yin energy was of benefit to A Gui, and the Black Gold Seal Soldier liked yin energy. He copied the bone armor, swallowing yin energy and then spitting it out. He played about happily.
Staring at the Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrasses in the box, for some reason, Zuo Mo’s heartbeat suddenly sped up.
Strangely, he was slightly nervous.
Those riddles that circled his mind, the voice that repeatedly appeared in his dreams, they would all be answered soon. His birth, his previous memories … …
Zuo Mo stared dazedly at the Reverse Shadow Soul SIlkgrass. He didn’t move at all.
A moment later, his body trembled. His dazed eyes finally recovered a thread of clarity. His practiced wooden face became alive and his eyes focused.
He exhaled deeply and turned to look at A Gui who was stand guard silently. For some reason, the bewilderment and nervousness he felt immediately disappeared.
He laughed mockingly at his own weakness. Determination and bravery returned to his eyes.
He threw a Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass into his mouth.
Something seemed to explode in his mind. Countless streaks of light and sound came at him from all directions.
Boom!
Zuo Mo’s mind was completely bland and he was in a daze.
There seemed to be countless people speaking at his ear. He couldn’t make out what they were saying. Countless scenes flashed across his eyes but he could not see anything clearly.
Too much information suddenly sprouted out of his memories and surrounded him.
Even with such a strong consciousness, Zuo Mo could not tolerate so many scenes and voices.
The blurry scenes and the noisy sounds seemed to drift far away.
Zuo Mo’s world became calm again.
———
Hiding in a corner filled with rubble, a boy trembled.
“We definitely have to get it!” On the other side of the damaged wall, the boy could hear the viciousness in the man’s voice.
“Really?”A woman’s light laugh sounded. “Kun Lun is really Kun Lun, this present, tsk tsk, different from everyone else! However, before the old woman died, why didn’t I hear Kun Lun act so domineering?”
“Hmph! Go to the side, I feel irritated when I see your Xuan Kong Temple’s falseness!” the man said disdainfully.
“You really wound me, I want to ally with you. If that thing ends up in the hands of Tian Huan and Xi Xian … …” The woman pretended to be wounded and said.
“No need,” the man said proudly, “We, Kun Lun, never need to ally with anyone.”
———
“Don’t waste effort, it cannot be used, the jinzhi cannot be opened.”
“Motherf***er, we spent so much energy to get this pile of scrap metal?”
“They may have detected something. However, they would not bear for it to become scrap metal, they would definitely have something else up their sleeve.”
“Did someone manage to escape?”
“There seems to be one child that we have not found.”
“Dumbass! How can such a mistake happen?”
“He is trash. He doesn’t like cultivating, and I heard that the old woman did not like him … …”
“Who is he to the old woman?”
“The old woman’s grandson … …”
“You idiot! Go find him! No matter what, find him! I want to see him alive or dead!”
———
In a dark and damp secret room, the small boy looked with intoxication at the mysterious patterns in front of him. For some reason he felt strangely close to these mysterious patterns. Especially those from the many jade scrolls, these would cause him to feel intimacy and warmth.
“Who let you in?” A cold and shrill voice suddenly came from behind him.
The young boy’s hand shook and the jade scroll dropped to the ground. He turned around. An old woman with an icy expression was looking at him expressionlessly.
“I … … I … …” The young boy’s face was ashen white.
“Speak!” the old woman shouted harshly.
“I, I solved, I solved the jinzhi … …” Terror filled the young boy’s mind and he stammered.
The old woman was silent.
“You like these things very much?”
A moment later, the old woman suddenly spoke. Her expression was still cold but for some reason, she did not seem to be as intimidating as before.
“Yes.” The young boy’s terror decreased greatly as he bowed his head and spoke.
The old woman’s gaze was piercing and the young boy didn’t dare to raise his head.
“These are the things that your father left you. I do not agree, but you have still found your way in. Starting from today, this place belongs to you.”
The old woman finished speaking expressionlessly and turned to leave.
———
“Starting today, she is your ghost.”
There was a young girl with a timid expression dressed in white robes standing next to the old woman.
“What is a Ghost?” The little boy asked fearfully.
“A person to protect you.” The old woman was expressionlessly.
“A person to protect me?” The young boy didn’t seem to understand. “Why does she have to protect me?”
“Because I will die,” the old woman said coldly.
———
“Gui Gui, this name is not pleasing to hear,” the young boy muttered. His hands didn’t slow at all.
The young girl tilted her head. “Gui Gui feels it is very good!”
“How come you work so hard at such a boring thing like cultivating?” The young boy was puzzled as he carefully treated the wounds on the young girl’s feet.
The young girl was teary due to the pain and her voice contained a sob. However, it was unusually determined. “Because only when I become strong will I be able to protect Young Master.”
“It is very safe here. There is no need to protect me. I don’t like to go outside.” The little boy’s head shook like a rattledrum.
“What happens if that day comes?” The young girl tilted her head.
“You are thinking too much!” The little boy pretended to be an adult and tapped the young girl’s head.
“Ah!” The young girl covered her head.
“What is the old woman teaching you? Why are you wounded every time?” the little boy said furiously, “Is she beating you?”
“Don’t talk about Grandma like that!” The young girl pushed out her cheeks in anger.
“Alright, alright, I won’t say anything. She doesn’t like me anyways.” The little boy was slightly dispirited.
“Grandma is very concerned about you,” the little girl hurriedly comforted.
“No, I know, she doesn’t like me,” the little boy’s voice was low, “because she doesn’t like my mother, I know.”
“You are right.” A cold voice came from behind him. The old woman was expressionless but hate flashed across her eyes.
———
The tree branches whipped painfully against his face but the little boy gritted his teeth. A Gui had carried him and ran for many days, so many that he had lost count.
A Gui’s steps faltered.
Bam.
He fell off her back, hitting the ground he became dizzy.
A stream of blood spilled out the corner of A Gui’s mouth. She crawled next to him and said with a sob, “Young Master, Young Master, are you hurt?”
He tried to make his smile easy. “No, I’m fine!”
“Young Master, I really am useless!” A Gui bit her lips, tears in her eyes.
“It’s Young Master who is useless.” He reached out and rubbed A Gui’s hair like usual. “Gui Gui, run.”
“No!” A Gui shook her head stubbornly/
He sighed. “They used a secret spell and left behind a mark in my consciousness. No matter how we run, we will not be able to escape.”
“No!” A Gui stilled and then screamed heartbreakingly, her tears spilling out.
He smiled and rubbed A Gui’s head. “Run, Gui Gui, and live for me as well.”
A Gui reached out her dirty hand and wiped away her tears. She suddenly picked him up and put him on his back and started to run frantically without a word.
“Gui Gui, it is useless. Put me down.” He urged many times on the road.
After running for an unknown number of days, the last bit of A Gui’s energy ran out. The two of them fell to the ground. A Gui’s face was ashen. Her power had been used up.
She struggled and crawled next to him. A Gui’s face was as white as paper. She touched his face and murmured, “Young Master, will you forget A Gui?”
“Of course not.” He smiled weakly. He was also at the end of his energy.
“Young Master, you definitely cannot forget A Gui!” A Gui’s face was suddenly covered in tears.
The hot tears fell on his face. His consciousness started to fade as he murmured.
“Yes, even in death, I won’t forget … …”

Thanks for the chapter
Damn Finally
Thanks for the chapter
I’m guessing the memory wipe/seal was to stop the tracking spell. However, I’m also wondering if, now that his memories are unlocked, the tracking spell is released as well. We may have an all new enemy sprouting up out of nowhere for Zuo Mo.
The enemy is already known, kun lun, xuan kong, tian huan, xi xian. the 4 great sects. of course now we know kun lun is the biggest, but we haven’t hear from xi xian much…
Yeah the enemy in question seems to be especially Kun Lun from one of those memories (as after all the sects are definitely not as closely allied as they appeared to be before given how once Xuan Kong Temple fell Kun Lun was the first to backstab. As we have direct Kun Lun involvement I doubt they would have wanted to share. (Though there does seem to be a link to Xuan Kong Temple)
The question about Xi Xian is note worthy as well though given we have no idea what they are up to.
As is Kun Lun appears to be the strongest with Tian Huan somewhat behind them having touched on Shen Glyphs.
Xi Xian is actually probably pretty smart by staying silent as the alliance between the sects has pretty much eroded given Tian Huan is currently focusing on not getting taken down by Kun Lun and that they just scavenged the remains of Xuan Kong Temple.
Probably the best way to tackle the remaining 3 sects is to lead them to turn on each other through strategically weakening them.
Thanks for the chapter!
So that’s the fast between the servant and his personal bodyguard. Thanks for this chapter.
A Gui is eternally A Gui.
:”(
HOLY JESUS!
So, the one who said that phrase was him self.
Who the hell is Zuo Family then to make 4 Big to allied up and destroy them?
Why his grandma hated his mother?
Now seems like not only Kun Lun will be destroyed but also other 3.
My guess on the reason his grandma hated his mother was because his mother wasnt a xiuzhe but a descendant of an ancient tribe.
I think it’s reversed. His mother was just a plebeian xiuzhe while his father was an ancient clan elite, with the grandma as the clan head.
I think he’s mixed race. The grandma is from an ancient tribe, while the mother is a yaomo. Possibly his grandfather is too, so he has the blood of all three races.
My guess is that his mother sold out their clan to the big 4
More likely, his father/clan was discovered because of his mother and the grandmother blames the mother for it.
Remember that the big 4 hunted down all the people with ancient/shen inheritances. they didn’t ally against his family out of fear, they attacked them out of greed.
Ya from what I am gathering, his family has shen power since the grandmother trained A Gui. So ancient family for sure, but she was super powerful. His father died but was a genius crafter. This city he built seems to be like a pocket dimension, but his father’s version was better. The metal scrap they refer to seems to be the treasure sealed with jinzhi… the city his dad made is covered with jinzhi… My guess is that they wanted the shen power inheritance and the pocket dimension city.
Thanks for the new chapter! Finally bits of Zuo Mo’s past!
Yes, finally indeed.
But still, A Gui’s name was Gui Gui? How can such a coincidence be there…? Didn’t ZM randomly give her the name? Don’t tell me his younger self also randomly gave a name, and that name just happened to be similar to the older one’s randomly given name…
Or wait, maybe that’s the part he won’t forget even in death! Yeah, that makes more sense than random coincidence…
Gui means ghost, A Gui and Gui Gui are both endearment for her name, and he said it himself the name is not pleasant to the ear. And yeah, I also think it’s rather forced, but it’s reasonable for the exclusive bodyguard to called his/her ghost.
I think Gui Gui is like a childish nickname for A Gui. A Gui didnt have a name, she was his ghost(Gui), so he called her Gui Gui, that could be localized like “little ghost” or something like that…
No its more like even without the memories he’s familiar with her kinda like muscle memory or like imprinting. Somethings even if u try to forcefully forget u cant. Just like gross things u cant unsee lol
Gui means Ghost. Since she has no name and is ZM’s Ghost, he calls her by Gui Gui, a sort of childish, cute and endearing way chinese kids gives nicknames to each other. A Gui is also an endearing nickname with the A as a word that carries the endearment meaning. He calls her A gui now most probably because Gui Gui is childish.
As for speculations:
ZM’s paternal family is most probably one of the surviving ancient shen clans. The Grandma hates his mother most probably because she isnt from an ancient shen clan and somehow caused their secrets to be revealed, leading to the onslaught of the 4 Great Sects.
waaahhhaaah.
finally here… I so want to be tomorrow 🙂
Finally!
Thank you for the chapter!
Wow, after so many chapters, its his own voice that is haunting him
T.T Oh, man. A good chapter.
Meatbun Delivery~
Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)
Gui gui!!
What does A Gui mean again?
A ghost?
Little ghost.
Gui is ghost. A (pronounced as ‘Ah’) is a just a common prefix to a shortened name or pet name (nick name)
Oh! I had forgot about that!
Holy crap over 700 chaprers for mystery from chapter one. That s some build up respect.
Thank you.
Liar, in the end you forgot her! XD
He seems to have been forced to. But he immediately felt attachment to her, and was obsessed with her feet, remember? Just like in the memory, where he only could see a pair of feet. It actually makes more sense now.
No matter what, he forgot :p XD
God damn… we’re here..
(ಥ_ಥ)
Thanks for the chapter!
I’ve been here all this time, sometimes first regardless, First time commenting to just say..Bravo author for waiting all this time.
OK this was really sweet
Can’t wait to learn ge’s real name!
I bet it’s still around the word “mo”
Probably zu mo…
Wasn’t his name the only thing he remembered?
A Gui is officially best girl
Thank you for the chapter!
A Gui, you’re a good girl ;-;
(ಥ_ಥ)
Thanks!
feel kinda short…..
Thanks For The Chapter
@#$%^ can it be tomorrow yet? This chapter hit me too hard in the feels, yet some how I’m extra hyped too.
Thank you for the chapter.
I can’t help but like all those crying faces XD
Who is chasing two kids.. bloody hell. Someone needs to get Real punishment
Thanks for the chapter. Sniff sniff, who left all these cut onions here…
Emotionality aside, I find it extremely hard to believe that a mortal boy who did not cultivate was able to spy on high ranked cultivators without being caught. And furthermore, for A Gui to carry him on her back while running from them for a few DAYS while he has been marked with tracking magic.
The author is taking a dump all over all the rules of reality he has set forth in order to create some drama.
He didn’t “LIKE” cultivation, not he didn’t cultivated at all.
His low level at chapter 1 proves otherwise.
Don’t forget that gui gui learned shen power techniques from ge’s gradma so she probably moved like a ghost and was super fast even then. I mean she was his bodyguard for a reason. The grandma seems to have forseen the trouble coming and trained her specifically and harshly. In addition all the enemies only had their mediocre xiu techniques. And it isalso stated that his (new) room is protected by powerful jingzhi, which might have saved him from detection and which he was able to solve at a young age. So he is not your average mortal boy either.
O_O
…
So he’s liked formations from way before …
Thank you for the update!
Thanks for the chapter WYHCWE and WanderingGummiOfDoom! Wonder who his grandma was that when she was alive none of the large sects dared to move against them.
She was probably a shen power expert strong enough to annihilate any single faction that attacked her. People like Kun Lun are only willing to steal from people who are weaker than them after all.
Thanks for the chapter
Gui Gui… They must pay!
Now i know ge is spesial. And the 4 clan need to pay it with interest.
I could have sworn the silkgrass was for A Gui.
And so we get a hint of where his foot fetish comes from 😉
I wonder if reclaiming his memory will also teach him about relations between a man and a woman 😉
Also wondering who his mom is that his grandmother hated her so much, how much of those jade scrolls he remembers, who currently has the object they were fighting over that they couldn’t solve, but he could, and if he remembers which race he is.
The silkgrass is something that A Gui can use but one of the reasons he wanted A Gui to heal was so that she could tell him about his past. Directly consuming the grass himself also achieves this purpose.
Ah, so I was right and wrong at the same time.
My goodness, it only took 736 chapters after all…
Oooooooh this is getting sooo gooood! I seriously can’t wait for the next chapter now!! Damnnn
A Gui!!!! Nooooo! Poor baby! Also poor zuo mo…
Thanks for the chapter!
You thought it was A Gui speaking
But it was me! Zuo Mo!
first comment, i’ve been a leecher since forever but this chapter, the feels.
thanksfor all the hard work
How dare you Kun Lun! I will kill all of you!
Fury of Jack! Meteor shower!
Thanks for the chapter…
Waaaaaaaah (T..T)
there’s a typo.
<>
hall should be “haul” in this context.
so, the site broke my typing.
the line is ‘Yi An’s Rare Artifacts Hall was an unexpected hall. ‘
T_T Zuo Mo and A Gui were so cute as kids! Even in death, I won’t forget!
