Ultimate Scheming System - Chapter 1554 - Restoring Memories
As early as when he’d been on the Heaven Continent, when Xu Que had happened to meet the souls of Xuanyuan Wanrong’s parents, he’d found out that Xuanyuan Wanrong had had a tragic past.
She came from an unfortunate family. Because Xuanyuan Wanrong’s mother had been a Demon, the Heaven Palace Sect had been forced them to break up her family. Then, in the end, when Xuanyuan Wanrong’s parents had died, the remnants of their souls had been imprisoned in the ancestral lands of the back mountain of the Heaven Palace Sect.
As for all the specific details about what had happened in between her being separated from her parents and their remnant souls being imprisoned, Xu Que hadn’t a clue about any of it.
So now, being in this world of her memory, Xu Que could see that Xuanyuan Wanrong was very normal. She hadn’t left the Heaven Palace Sect yet, subconsciously feeling that her parents were still alive. The tragedy of that year hadn’t happened yet.
But now that Buttface reminded him about the memory pearl, Xu Que suddenly realized that something wasn’t right.
When Xuanyuan Wanrong’s parents had met with a mishap, Xuanyuan Wanrong was still very young and certainly not as old and outstanding as she was now.

“So, had this memory pearl already drawn out a certain memory of Xuanyuan Wanrong’s?
“Was this why Xuanyuan Wanrong had stayed in the Heaven Palace Sect?”
“Oh my god, I feel like something huge is going to happen.” Xu Que muttered to himself.
He certainly wouldn’t prevent Xuanyuan Wanrong from recovering her memories. After all, this was a fake world, and the real Xuanyuan Wanrong must have restored her memories back then, otherwise, she wouldn’t have left the Heaven Palace Sect and gone to the Celestial Burial Valley at the Five Elements Mountain far away to take a deep sleep.
And Buttface’s words had been very clear just now. If he hadn’t been able to escape from Xuanyuan Wanrong’s pursuit, he’d been prepared to throw her the memory pearl to distract her attention.
Evidently, this was how he’d escaped back in the day. Otherwise, according to the situation just now, if Xu Que and Duan Qide hadn’t come out and interfered, Xuanyuan Wanrong would definitely have caught up to Buttface.
At this time, Xuanyuan Wanrong was very shocked.
She’d never known that the treasure room of the Heaven Palace Sect had hidden her memory pearl.
She knew very clearly what a memory pearl was. It was a memory that couldn’t be erased but which had been forcibly removed from her mind.
This method was not the same as forcibly erasing memories. Forcibly erasing memories could hurt the soul and have a huge impact on one’s cultivation. However, by using the memory pearl, no damage would be caused.
The only flaw with this system was that the memory in the memory pearl couldn’t be erased. If the memory pearl was forcibly destroyed, the sealed memory inside would return to the original memory owner’s mind.
But now, the important thing was that, as the chief disciple and the one the Heaven Palace Sect was most focused on training, some of her memories had been removed from her, and she hadn’t noticed it at all.
The Mighty King had just revealed that this was a memory pearl related to her past history. But she was quite clear about her past history. Since she’d been young, she’d grown up in the Heaven Palace Sect, and her parents, who were both from the Heaven Palace Sect, had been killed in a secret mission.
There was nothing complicated about her story.
“Huh, why are none of you talking anymore? I’m not lying to you. I have checked, everything in the memory pearl is extremely terrifying. This group of people from the Heaven Palace Sect are really bad people.” Buttface blustered along loudly, taking out a jade bead while talking.
That jade bead was all covered with golden runes, which obviously had been sealed by powerful people with a strong restrictive spell. There was a subtle scene flashing inside of it. Unless the Mind Sense was strong enough, there was no way to pass through the restrictive spell and pry on what was inside.
Since Buttface could pry into the contents inside without damaging the restrictive spell, his Mind Sense was evidently extraordinary.
“Brother Duan!” At this time, Xu Que looked at Duan Qide and said with a smile, “You don’t think highly of this memory pearl, right? Can you undo it and let the memory emerge and return to its original owner?”
“Of course I can. I am also rather curious. What kind of memory does the famous chief disciple of the Heaven Palace Sect, Xuanyuan Wanrong, have that is so mysterious it must be sealed up?” Duan Qide said casually. This memory pearl was not valuable, and it was better for him to help Xu Que with a favor.
Xu Que had known that Duan Qide would agree. He nodded and smiled, looking at Xuanyuan Wanrong. “Miss Xuanyuan, you have to be mentally prepared. What you are going to see may make you collapse and fall apart. After all, the people from the Heaven Palace Sect are really not good people.”
“Shut up. My memory is very complete, and no one has ever stolen any part of it. This memory pearl has nothing to do with me. Why do you want to tell me these stories?” Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke in a deep voice, but her tone and expression were no longer as indifferent as usual.
At this moment, she was really slightly flustered.
“If this memory pearl was indeed real, what was going on with her past history that she didn’t know about?”
“Buttface, come, open the memory pearl!” Xu Que didn’t respond to Xuanyuan Wanrong. There was no need to argue regarding this matter. Seeing was believing.
And he was also extremely curious about what had happened to Xuanyuan Wanrong in the past. This must have had something to do with the subsequent destruction of the Heaven Palace Sect.
“Open, what open. If you imprison me here, I can’t open it. You better be sensible and let me go,” Buttface said angrily.
“That’s a small matter,” Duan Qide said lightly. Waving his hands gently, the jade beads in the paws of Buttface flew out instantly.
“Sh*t, I asked you to unlock the restrictive barrier, not to snatch the objects. How is that reasonable?” Buttface immediately raged at him.
With mutual agreement, Duan Qide and Xu Que both ignored him, and their attention was already focused on the memory orb.
Without Xu Que needing to open his mouth, Buttface’s fingertips directly opened the shackles on the memory pearl. He was obviously good at handling prohibitions.
WHOOSH!
As soon as the shackles had been opened, a stream of light flew out of the memory pearl.
Xuanyuan Wanrong didn’t stop all this, and she had no ability to stop it either. Almost forgetting to breathe, she stared at the stream of light.
“What was this memory?”
BOOM!
With a muffled sound, the stream of light exploded in the air.
Lights and shadows appeared, and, just like a portrait, unfolded in front of them. In the portrait, there were several shadows surging, which gradually became lifelike.
The gazes of all the people present were all fixated on these portraits of lights and shadows.
The beginning of the portrait was from Xuanyuan Wanrong’s perspective, which was a child’s perspective. She was tilting her head up to look at all the adults.
The scene in the portrait was in the back mountain of the Heaven Palace Sect. There were loads of people in front of her, blocking her way. In the middle, there were several familiar faces, such as Wang Chi, the Dean of the Heaven Palace Sect, several deputy deans, and various Elders of the Heaven Palace Sect.
Then, the portrait changed, as if the camera had moved to the side. A large hand was holding on to a little hand. The large hand belonged to a tall and handsome man, with a little facial stubble, manly and righteous.
Xu Que recognized this man. He was one of those two souls that he had spent so much time with, Xuanyuan Wanrong’s father, Xuanyuan Qishang!
“Father, didn’t you say you were taking me to see my mother? Why have we come to the back mountain? Why didn’t Uncle Dean and the others let us pass?”
A milky voice sounded. It was obviously Xuanyuan Wanrong’s voice when she had been a little child.
Hearing this, and then looking at the group of people in the portrait of lights and shadows, Xuanyuan Wanrong’s entire face had lost its color and gotten extremely pale.
Her body shivered slightly, as a strong feeling of sorrow and anger gradually poured out of her eyes.
Evidently, as the portrait of lights and shadows unfolded, her memory was also being slightly restored.
