Chapter 621 The Real Nightmare Is Not That Scary

At this time, Aye's power was completely out of control, turning into a huge vortex of demonic energy, which drew Jiang Luo, Lu Qing, Huo Yancheng and Fan Wujiu in. The four of them instantly fell into a deep nightmare created by Aye, and their consciousness was completely deprived, as if they were trapped in endless darkness.

No one knows that the real nightmare is not so scary or terrifying.

Instead, it is like a gentle spring breeze that makes people fall into it unknowingly and indulge in its gentle land or sweet cave.

Once you get stuck in it, you can't get out.

Jiang Luo had already prepared himself before he lost consciousness. He thought he would be brought into the Shura field of the battlefield, or fight against some kind of ancient demon, but that was not the case.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a warm embrace. In front of him was a very gentle and beautiful woman. She was gently rocking his body and said to the people beside her: "This is the first child of our Qishui Jiang family. Why don't we call him Jiang Luo! Look at him, does he look like a little fairy who has fallen from heaven to the mortal world? He is so handsome."

Jiang Luo frowned. What's going on? What's wrong with me?

He tried moving his legs and feet and found that his body seemed to have shrunk a lot.

It wasn't until another person held him in his arms that he realized he had turned into a baby. How could this happen?

Jiang Luo looked at the furnishings in the room with a confused look on his face. This seemed to be a wealthy family. An old man came up and put a golden lock on his neck. He said to him kindly, "This is the eldest grandson of our Jiang family who has been the only heir for nine generations! From now on, all the huge Jiang family assets will be handed over to you!"

Jiang Luo frowned and thought, "eldest grandson?"

I’m not... I’m not... Jiang Hai’s son?

Just as he was thinking this, he burst into tears, kicking his legs as he cried. The young man holding him hurriedly said, "Quick, quick, call the wet nurse. Isn't the wet nurse here yet?"

A little maid ran over and replied, "My lord, the lady gave birth prematurely, and it's really hard to find a wet nurse right now."

The young man was a little anxious and asked, "What should we do? Luo'er is crying like this, he must be hungry."

At this time, a little boy came in and said respectfully to the young man, "Master, the sheep in the backyard just gave birth and there is a lot of milk. Why don't I go get some for the young master to eat?"

The young man said happily: "Oh? That's great! Xiao Linzi is the one who has the idea. Go quickly!"

Jiang Luo opened his eyes and looked at the little Linzi, and immediately felt that he looked very familiar. Isn't that... isn't that Lu Qing?

Xiao Linzi, why did you change your name to Xiao Linzi?

Ah, my head hurts, and my memory seems to be getting more and more blurred. Who...who am I?

Six years passed in a flash, and Jiang Luo grew into a noble and reserved little girl, fair and tender, very beautiful, and very lovable.

He had a personal servant, Xiao Linzi. Xiao Linzi didn't like to laugh, was good at martial arts, and was very handsome. It was a pity that his family fell into poverty, so he could only be a servant in the Jiang family.

Jiang Luo gradually got used to living in this fantasy world, although there was always a hint of doubt in his heart, as if he did not belong here.

But as time went on, the memory of his true identity became more and more vague, and he even began to doubt whether those vague memories were just a dream.

Xiao Linzi, also known as Lu Qing, lost his memory of his true identity in this illusion, but he still remained calm and alert. He always silently guarded Jiang Luo, as if this was his innate responsibility.

One day, Jiang Luo sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, watching Xiao Linzi practicing swordplay. The sword flashed, and Xiao Linzi's posture was agile, like a nimble swallow. Jiang Luo was so fascinated that he couldn't help but applaud and praise: "Xiao Linzi, your swordplay is really getting better and better!"

Xiao Linzi put away his sword and stood up, his eyes indifferent: "Master, you are too kind, it's just some superficial skills."

Jiang Luo shook his head and said with a smile: "You are too modest. I think your swordsmanship is even better than those so-called knights in the martial arts world."

Xiao Linzi nodded slightly without saying much. He just stood silently beside Jiang Luo, looking around vigilantly.

At this moment, Jiang Luo's father, Jiang Wuya, the head of the Jiang family, came over. With a kind smile on his face, he looked at Jiang Luo and said, "Luo'er, did you study hard today?"

Jiang Luo stood up and answered respectfully: "Father, I have finished reading The Analects and am reviewing Mencius."

Jiang Wuya nodded with satisfaction and patted Jiang Luo's head: "Very good, you are worthy of being the eldest grandson of my Jiang family. You will inherit the Jiang family business in the future, so you must study hard and become a pillar of the family."

Jiang Luo nodded heavily: "Don't worry, father. Luo'er will study hard in the future, pass the imperial examination, and bring honor to our Jiang family."

Just as Jiang Luo said, his talent gradually emerged, and he passed the examinations and became a famous talent in Qishui. Everyone said that he would be the top scorer and become the first talent in Qishui to win three places in a row.

Jiang Luo's heart was surprisingly calm. He was not disturbed by the false fame outside. Instead, he studied even more diligently, thinking only of serving his country after completing his studies.

As the saying goes, learn both literary and martial arts and sell your goods to the emperor. If Jiang Luo is a famous talent in Qishui, then Xiao Linzi beside him is a rare martial arts genius.

He has been staying by Jiang Luo's side since he was born. Even though Jiang Wuya allowed him to be free and use his martial arts to find a future for himself, Xiao Linzi refused to go and just wanted to stay by Jiang Luo's side.

In the spring of that year, Jiang Luo was only seventeen years old. He would take part in the imperial examination the following year. How far he could go in the future would be determined by this imperial examination.

Jiang Luo's private academy was on the bank of the Qi River. It was decorated very elegantly. In order to let him study quietly alone, there were no maids or old women in his courtyard. He only had Xiao Linzi, who grew up with him, as his study companion.

Therefore, the most common scene in the academy was Jiang Luo reading and Xiao Linzi dancing with a sword beside him.

When Jiang Luo felt tired of reading, he would go and watch Xiao Linzi practice martial arts for a while. After watching, he would discuss with him which moves could be more lethal, and which moves could be more beautiful and more performative.

Xiao Linzi is in his early twenties, with a good appearance and a handsome young man. Jiang Luo is always fascinated when he sees him practicing martial arts, and this time is no exception. It was not until Xiao Linzi finished a set of sword skills that Jiang Luo came back to his senses and clapped his hands softly, saying, "Amazing! Xiao Linzi, you are so good at martial arts, why don't you join the army? Maybe you can make some achievements. In the future, you will be a general and I will be a civil official. We will be both heroes of civil and military affairs, wouldn't it be great?"

Xiao Linzi shook his head and said, "Forget it. I have no interest in building a career."

Jiang Luo walked up to him, took his hand and asked, "So what are you interested in?"

Xiao Linzi replied hesitantly: "My mission is just to protect you. As long as you are fine, I don't care what happens to you."

Jiang Luo was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Xiao Linzi had only this one idea.

Jiang Luo looked at Xiao Linzi, with a complicated look in his eyes. He knew from childhood that Xiao Linzi was a taciturn person, but he never thought that he only had the thought of "protecting himself" in his heart. Jiang Luo felt a little uneasy, as if there was an invisible barrier between them, making him unable to truly understand Xiao Linzi's heart.

"Xiao Linzi," Jiang Luo sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "You have protected me for so many years, haven't you ever thought about yourself? Does your life exist only for me?"

Xiao Linzi was silent for a moment, his eyes still calm, as if nothing in the world could shake his faith. He raised his head, looked at Jiang Luo, and said in a calm and firm voice: "Master, my life belongs to you. From the day I came to the Jiang family, my mission is to protect you until the end of my life."

Jiang Luo felt a pang of bitterness in his heart after hearing this. He suddenly realized that Xiao Linzi seemed to have never lived for himself, and his entire life revolved around him. This selfless loyalty made Jiang Luo both moved and guilty.

"Xiao Linzi," Jiang Luo held his hand, with a hint of pleading in his tone, "You are also a person with your own dreams and pursuits. I don't want your life to exist only for me. You should live for yourself and pursue the life you want."

Xiao Linzi shook his head slightly, his eyes still firm: "Master, my dream is that you are safe and sound. As long as you live well, I will be satisfied."

Jiang Luo was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond. He looked at Xiao Linzi deeply, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that Xiao Linzi was a stubborn person, and once he made up his mind about something, he would never change it easily.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Luo said softly: "Xiao Linzi, no matter what decision you make, I will respect you. But I hope you can understand that you are not just a servant to me, but also my most important friend. I hope you can live a happy life instead of trapping yourself in the mission of 'protecting me'."

Xiao Linzi nodded slightly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Master, I understand your intentions. But protecting you is what makes me happiest."

Jiang Luo smiled helplessly and patted Xiao Linzi on the shoulder: "Okay, since you said so, I won't force you. But if you change your mind one day, you must tell me, okay?"

Xiao Linzi nodded, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a rare smile: "Okay."

The two stood in the courtyard, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on them, as if to add a layer of golden light to this brief tranquility. Jiang Luo looked at the river in the distance, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He always felt that this peaceful life seemed unreal, as if it would be broken at any time.

At this moment, Jiang Wuya hurried into the courtyard with a serious expression. He looked at Jiang Luo, then at Xiao Linzi, and said in a deep voice: "Luo'er, Xiao Linzi, something happened."
