That's Your Grandmaster

Xiao Yan emerged from seclusion after absorbing and refining the Bone Spirit Cold Flame given to him by Yao Lao.

Furthermore, he successfully used the power of the Flame Mantra to learn how the old Yao Lao had subdued the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

However, it is precisely because he knows this that Xiao Yan now has a conflicted expression after emerging from seclusion.

Because, frankly speaking, his feelings at this moment were probably the same as those of his teacher's friends—none of them really wanted to tell their teacher the truth about this matter...

This is, to put it simply, quite awkward.

Even Yao Lao probably never imagined that Xiao Yan would have the idea of keeping it from him after learning the truth.

Obviously, there's a reason for all of this!

"Buzz~"

However, as Xiao Yan stepped out of his secluded cultivation place, he was still hesitating when Yao Lao's figure slowly appeared before him.

"Not bad, not bad, you've already Eight-Star Dou Venerable! It seems you've successfully absorbed and refined the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Xiao Yan!"

After sensing Xiao Yan's strength, Yao Lao also revealed a satisfied smile.

Although he didn't think Xiao Yan would fail to absorb and refine the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, feeling it was one thing, and seeing it with one's own eyes was another.

This is only human nature!

"Hmm~, it's the teacher!"

However, compared to Yao Lao's overflowing joy, Xiao Yan, the person involved, did not show any happy expression, which seemed very strange.

Moreover, it's not hard to tell from his evasive eyes that he seems somewhat afraid to face his teacher.

Xiao Yan is not a good liar.

Therefore, his obviously abnormal behavior immediately caught the eye of the Yao Lao.

"What's wrong? Xiao Yan, did something go wrong when you were absorbing and refining the Bone Spirit Cold Flame?"

At first glance, Yao Lao didn't understand why Xiao Yan had that expression.

He thought that Xiao Yan had encountered a major problem when he absorbed and refined the Bone Spirit Cold Flame!

Therefore, he hurriedly checked Xiao Yan's body with a worried expression.

However, the conclusion after the examination was that Xiao Yan's body was better than ever before, and there were no aftereffects from absorbing and refining the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

So, this is strange, why would Xiao Yan have such an expression?

"Ah, teacher, of course I'm fine, I'm perfectly healthy! In fact, my strength has improved significantly!"

Xiao Yan now only hoped that Yao Lao had forgotten the things he had been told to do earlier.

However, sometimes, what you fear most is what's most likely to happen!

Xiao Yan was still thinking about how to change the subject and make Yao Lao forget about that matter, but Yao Lao had already brought it up.

"I see, that's good! By the way, Xiao Yan, after you absorbed and refined the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, did you use the power of the Flame Mantra to see how I subdued it?"

When asked this question, the Yao Lao looked on with anticipation.

Clearly, he was extremely eager to know about this!

Xiao Yan: "..."

Looking at his teacher's expectant gaze, Xiao Yan was momentarily speechless.

Telling your own teacher this will only cause them pain.

But if I don't tell my teacher, they'll definitely be disappointed!

Furthermore, this incident could very well become a deep thorn in the teacher's side!

If this hidden danger were to surface later when one's own teacher is practicing, the consequences would be unimaginable.

To put it bluntly, this had actually become something akin to a demon in Yao Lao's heart.

In this kind of situation, it's better to guide than to suppress.

If the Yao Lao doesn't realize he's lost his memory, then keeping it from him is fine.

But now that the Yao Lao knew, how could he not want to get it back?

In this situation, most people would probably make the same choice as the Yao Lao.

At the same time, Xiao Yan's current demeanor already gave Yao Lao the answer.

It is often said that no one knows a son better than his father, but the same applies to saying that no one knows a student better than his teacher!

Having stayed by Xiao Yan's side for so long, watching him grow step by step to where he is today, how could Yao Lao not know his disciple's personality?

Clearly, Xiao Yan already knew how he had subdued the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, but because of some unspeakable secret, he hesitated about whether to tell him the truth.

The Yao Lao saw through this almost immediately!

"Phew~, Xiao Yan, I've pinned all my hopes of regaining my lost memories on you! Although I know it might be better for me not to regain these memories!"

Just like the choices Feng Xian and his group made.

I know I've forgotten someone who was very important to me, but no matter how painful the memory was, forgetting is unfair to both of us.

So, Xiao Yan, I'm begging you, please tell me the truth!

At this moment, how could Yao Lao still resemble a dignified Dou Sheng Expert?

He's just an Ordinary who longs to know the truth!

"Teacher, please don't do this! Just like you said, I do know what happened when you subdued the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and it certainly wasn't a pleasant memory."

I'm also hesitant about whether to tell you what happened...

However, since you've put it that way, what else can I say?

At this moment, Xiao Yan could only manage a bitter smile.

His teacher had gone to such lengths, even using the word "begging," how could he, as a disciple, refuse?

He couldn't refuse!

Following that, Xiao Yan began to tell Yao Lao everything in detail that he had seen through the Bone Spirit Cold Flame using the power of the Flame Mantra.

However, as Xiao Yan spoke, Yao Lao's face was unknowingly covered with tears.

He still couldn't recall that memory.

But his body has already gone through that!

Now, it was as if the Yao Lao, recalling those past events, which is why he unconsciously shed tears.

"So, this is the truth behind my amnesia back then? I actually forgot someone so important to me, and even now I haven't been able to find that memory..."

The Yao Lao muttered to himself.

The current Yao Lao is essentially someone who has lost his memories, yet he has heard Xiao Yan recount his past deeds.

However, it was precisely because he couldn't remember this that the Yao Lao was in even more pain!

"Teacher..."

Seeing his teacher's current state, even though Xiao Yan had anticipated it, he still felt a pang of regret.

However, in this situation, he didn't know how to comfort his teacher.

"Alright, Xiao Yan, I'm fine. I'm really glad you didn't choose to hide this from me! However, this has only strengthened my resolve to find this memory."

I'm only hearing your description now; it doesn't count as my memory!

The Yao Lao's gaze gradually hardened.

"Yes, teacher, I'll accompany you! And if I'm not mistaken, the key to your recovery of your memories should also lie in the Bone Spirit Cold Flame."

Even the true spirit of the woman who sacrificed herself for you might be found through the Bone Spirit Cold Flame!

At that time, it might even be possible to revive it!

But who is that woman who was willing to sacrifice herself for you, teacher?

Xiao Yan first stated his judgment and guess, then asked curiously.

Xiao Yan could only see what happened thanks to the power of the Flame Mantra, but he couldn't hear the conversation!

Therefore, he naturally didn't know who the woman was.

"If I'm not mistaken, she should be my teacher, and also your grandmaster, Xiao Yan. Her name is Han Shanshan."

Since Yao Lao doesn't have Han Shanshan's memories, he can only describe it as "guessing".

But this guess can't possibly be wrong.

After all, the Yao Lao only forgot one person in his entire life. Now that he can't remember who that person is, it can only be that person he forgot, right?

When Xiao Yan heard Yao Lao say that the woman was his grandmaster, his eyes widened slightly.

Seriously? Why does he feel like that woman and his teacher have a relationship that goes beyond teacher and student?

Could it be that one's own teacher is also a rebellious student?

Hey, why does he need to use it?

At this moment, Xiao Yan thought of Yun Yun...

Even a senior master is still a teacher.
