Everything in front of him began to collapse. Lu Lie blinked. When he came to his senses again, he found that he had returned to the Rose Garden.

The old man in front of him was still sitting peacefully on the bamboo chair, without moving. The towering ancient tree was still green and quietly staying behind the old man. Everything in the rose garden was there, just like when Lu Lie walked in before, and never disappeared. Lu Lie turned his head and saw the little girl and two little girls hiding behind a large red rose, and quietly poked his head out to look at his back. When their eyes were in contact with Lu Lie, the little girls exclaimed and all shrank back.

It turned out that everything I had just experienced was an illusion. The old man in front of me used this method... to remind me of the past I had experienced.

He... is a secret sage.

"Who are you?" Lu Lie looked at the old man in front of him and asked. However, this time he knew that the other party was indeed his benefactor, and he became much more polite in his tone.

"I am just an ordinary secret sorcerer, an old man who is entering his twilight years, the former God General Lu." The old man sat on his bamboo chair and said lazily, "Didn't you ever tell the world that you want to ask a secret sorcerer to untie the memory you lost? I have fulfilled half of your wish, and I have untie half of your sealed memory."

"It's a pity that you're late. Now I don't have the ability to pay you the huge amount of gold I said at that time." Lu Lie smiled. Before he knew it, he had a little affection for the old man. "But you still didn't answer my question. Who are you? I saved me in this small town back then, but let me go. Now I'm really curious about half of my memory. If you and I were just passing by by chance, would you always appear in front of me when I was the most confused in my life?"

The old man squinted his eyes and smiled: "If I tell you my identity, you may not be able to get out of your life in guilt."

Lu Lie said lightly: "No. I am a very thick-skinned person. No matter who you are, I will not feel guilty about you if I have done anything that I have done to be sorry for you."

"Then I'll really say it."

"Tell me."

"I am Su Wen's grandfather."

The air in the Rose Garden suddenly calmed down. Lu Lie quietly looked at the old man in front of him, and the old man also looked at Lu Lie. The two of them looked at each other, and no one said the first sentence.

At that moment, Lu Lie remembered many things on the giant tree.

If there are really people in this world who are sorry for themselves, then there is probably only Su Wen.

"I'm sorry about Su Wen..."

"It doesn't matter, I forgive you."

Lv Lie slowly knelt on the ground, kneeling in front of the old man. His back began to tremble, and he started crying softly like a wild beast.

"What happened to Su Wen...I'm really, really, really sorry..."

"When I was in the Mysterious City, I thought... I made the best choice for her... but I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it..."

"If I could do it again... I would rather endure the dark seven years in the Mysterious City in the seventh year..."

"Seven years...the whole seven years...I left her there and let her bear so much..."

The old man just stroked his head lightly, and said to him softly as if he was coaxing a little beast: "It doesn't matter, I have forgiven you."

"On that snowy night more than 20 years ago, I picked you up on the roadside. At that time, I saw your "fate" in you at a glance. That was the "fate" between you and my granddaughter, and only you can break the "cause" in my granddaughter."

"But things like 'fate' are unspeakable, unnamed, untouched, unpredictable. So I saved your life back then, hoping that you can finally block this 'tribulation' for Su Wen. I didn't do anything, and I didn't save you for you back then. I just pushed my hands on the upcoming fate. I also used my secret technique to infer something about what happened on the giant tree. I didn't blame you. If you want to blame, I blame Su Wen for not breaking her 'tribulation'."

"She had a disaster, and it was no wonder you or anyone else."

"You've done a good job."

Gradually, Lu Lie's crying lowered. He fell asleep between the old man's knees.

He slept very calmly, like a child. It has been almost twenty years since he has not slept so calmly.

...

When Lu Lie woke up, it was already early in the morning three days later.

He was still lying in the Rose Garden, and the old man sat next to the chair, waiting patiently for him to wake up.

"I am an illusion body and cannot stay in the same place for too long. I don't have much time left for me. Maybe it's time to say goodbye."

The old man patted Lu Lie on the shoulder and said,

"When you were asleep, I checked your memory. Although the first half of your memory on the giant tree has been unlocked by me, the second half of your memory is still sealed. The person who sealed your memory should be another secret sorcerer, and he is a secret sorcerer who is much more advanced than me. I tried to enter your mind and explore that past, but I was warned by the thoughts left in your mind by the secret sorcerer. "

Lu Lie stood up from the ground. He asked, "Old sir, is there any way to untie the memory sealed in my mind?"

Of course, Lu Lie did not expect to ask the other party to do too much. If the other party could not explain it, it might be able to solve it, but the body might be backfired, then Lu Lie thought he was not qualified to let the old man do more for him.

"Of course there is a way. No matter how powerful a secret master is, he will leave only a thought on you. If I can't even deal with this thought, I will be so old in vain." The old man said proudly. When talking about his professional field, he seemed particularly confident.

"But, young man, have you figured it out, do you really want to untie this sealed memory? Through the thoughts of the secret master who stayed in your body, I can feel that when he sealed your memory, he did not have any malice. On the contrary, he had the intention of protecting nickel."

"I'm afraid there is something extremely bad in your later memory of the giant tree. Once it is untied, it will have an unpredictable impact on you!"
