《Daiyu's Ascent》29. Untold Memories
Advertisement
Tang Daiyu scurried out of Riluo Residence after him.
"Bei Qing? Is the Thunder Cloud Sword Sect gifted in memory recollection or something?"
"No, not exactly. Despite the sect's name, they're more attuned to the mind and spirituality than weapons. Swift Breeze, on the other hand, is more attuned to strength and weaponry."
"Oh, so you're saying they might have a mind technique that could help me?"
Liang Yingzhou nodded and pointed to in between her eyebrows. "There's a technique unique to Thunder Cloud Sword Sect. It deals with the Third Eye Chakra. This chakra has to do with insight and is blocked by illusions. Sometime in your past, someone blocked yours. To know the truth, we have to unlock it. It's your best shot."
"Okay."
They walked together to the front gates. Just outside of Swift Breeze Sect's gates, he suddenly stopped.
Confused, she asked, "Zhou-ge? Why aren't we going?"
He put a finger to his lips and whispered, "Hush. I think we're being watched."
She froze and tried to not obviously look around.
Liang Yingzhou called out, "Who's there?"
Suddenly, they heard a light-hearted chuckle.
"You're very good, Master Liang. It's no wonder why there are so many praises of you."
Looking up, they watched Bei Qing as he flew down from a hidden spot above. He straightened out his light grey clothes and bowed respectfully.
"Forgive me, Master Liang. I was simply testing you. I hope you don't take offense."
Liang Yingzhou waved it off. "I'll forgive it because we have a more pressing matter. Ah Yue and I were actually on our way to find you."
Bei Qing's eyes widened. "Oh really? What could be so urgent that you needed to search for me?"
"Your Heavenly Sight Technique."

Bei Qing choked. "What?"
He cleared his throat and took a deep breath. After he had composed himself, he asked, "Why do you need that?"
"You should know better than me what Heavenly Sight Technique can do."
"But are you sure Qiao Yue needs this? It could do more harm than good."
Tang Daiyu stepped forward and bowed politely.
"With all due respect, Master Bei, but I need to remember. Right now, I don't care about the consequences."
Bei Qing sighed, "Alright. If that's what you really want."
She nodded. He motioned for them to follow and lead the way down into Nanchang. Liang Yingzhou and Tang Daiyu remained a few steps behind.
As they were walking, he murmured to her, "He will be able to see your memories. Are you sure you want to go ahead with this?"
Without hesitation, she replied, "Yes."
She turned her head to look at him. "Zhou-ge, I don't care who knows anymore. I just want to get my revenge and bring some peace to my family."
He sighed sadly, "Very well, Ah Daiyu."
~~~
They finally arrived in southern Nanchang. Bei Qing waved his arm grandly.
"Welcome to Thunder Cloud Sword Sect."
Tang Daiyu looked up and gazed at the brass characters on the light grey paifang. Her eyes flicked back to Bei Qing.
Smiling kindly, he said, "Come on in."
Liang Yingzhou and Tang Daiyu followed him across the threshold and into the manor. Bei Qing led them to the very back of the property. There was a small man-made pond with brightly colored koi fish swimming around and a few bamboo benches circling the pond.
He explained, "This is the best place for meditation, in my humblest opinion."
"It doesn't matter where we are," Liang Yingzhou said dismissively. "She just needs her memories unlocked."

"Alright."
Bei Qing motioned for her to take a seat. Tang Daiyu fluffed out her light pink clothes and sat down on one of the benches. Bei Qing sat down on the same bench next to her. Liang Yingzhou remained standing, just behind her, watching like a concerned father. Bei Qing reached out and put his right index and middle fingers in between her eyebrows. He closed his eyes, and she did the same. After murmuring a few words, their surroundings faded away as he used Heavenly Sight to access her locked memories through the Third Eye Chakra.
~~~
They sat still for hours, but every once in a while, Tang Daiyu visibly flinched. Her body quivered, and Liang Yingzhou was ready to stop the process. But he knew that if he did so, it posed even more of a risk to her. He worried that perhaps he was wrong to have brought her to Bei Qing.
Finally, their hands fell away, and both of them opened their eyes. He stared at Tang Daiyu for a few seconds.
"So that's why you were asking about Chancellor Ru and my father the other day."
She nodded. "Yes. Thank you, Master Bei."
"Well, Empress Tang, I'm glad that I could be of help to you,” he said, slightly cold. “Now, I need to see to my disciples. Master Liang, Empress Tang, I'll take my leave first."
He stood up, bowed respectfully, and left. Liang Yingzhou came around and immediately took his vacated seat.
"Ah Daiyu, did it work? What did you see?"
She looked at him.
With a furious monotone, a snarl curled her lips as she said, "Don't worry, Zhou-ge, I remember everything now."
"Ah Daiyu?" his eyebrows furrowed with confusion.
A determined resolution set in her eyes.
"Trust me, the entire Feng family will regret the day they decided to threaten my father."

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
