Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 601-Chapter 700)

“I’ll do exactly that. I’ll stick my nose into it. What can you do about it?”


“You…” How could Hua Chengzan still not understand that Ru Xin clearly knew Northmoon?

“Cut the bullshit. Are you going to drink it or not?”

Hua Chengzan gritted his teeth. “I’ll drink i!”

He was willing to drink it all so that he could let go of his obsessions, so that he could forget about her.





Chapter 687: Forgetting About Love | Legend of the Great Sage




The faint, purple liquid flowed into his belly, and the Water of Oblivion spread slowly. Like he had drunk a thousand cups of fine wine, Hua Chengzan’s vision immediately began to blur. Li Qingshan and Ru Xin’s figures both became blurry.

He was unable to describe the taste. It was neither sweet nor bitter, just empty to the bone. Wherever it passed by, his heart began to numb as well.

“Fellow Hua, please close your eyes and try your best to recall what you want to forget so that the Water of Oblivion can come into effect!”

Ru Xin’s voice seemed to come from a distant place. It was as flimsy and obscure as a strand of air; it was like the wind could scatter it at any time.

Hua Chengzan closed his eyes. He did not have to try his best at all. Certain things could not be forgotten. From believing she was a fairy when they first met to the various conversations and scenes that occurred between them, everything flooded out from the depths of his memories eagerly. Every twinkle and smile from her was as sweet as it could get, but it was also the source of his pain.

But suddenly, all of his memories faded as if water had washed them again and again. They drifted away uncontrollably.

Hua Chengzan extended his hand subconsciously as if he wanted to grab these memories. He resisted almost instinctively, refusing to forget about her. However, his efforts instead pushed the effects of the Water of Oblivion to the limits.

Li Qingshan watched on from one side, only to see Hua Chengzan frown heavily and kneel on one knee. His face was filled with pain and reluctance, which made Li Qingshan sigh. “Perhaps compared to him, I really don’t know what love is!”

Ru Xin said, “Born as humans, who doesn’t feel love? If you place a tea leaf in a pot of water, it’ll become a pot of tea. However, if you place it in a tank of water, the taste will become very faint. If you toss it into a pond, can anyone still notice the difference?”

Li Qingshan laughed. “Thank you for your praise. It’s rare to hear something good come out of that mouth of yours, but we’re not a pond. Instead, we are all-encompassing, accepting all rivers, turning into an ocean.”

“Actually, what I wanted to say is you’re not human!”

“... I know. You’re not human either!”

“Otherfolk are also people!” Ru Xin raised her index finger and waggled it gently.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At this moment, a violent knocking rang out from outside the door. Li Qingshan went to open it, and Han Tieyi barged in. Seeing Hua Chengzan kneeling on one knee with his eyes firmly shut and his face overcome with pain, he grabbed Li Qingshan by the collar. “What did you do!?”

“Big brother!” Hua Chenglu helped Hua Chengzan up in a hurry. She looked back. “Commander, how can you do this?”

“Let go! You might be my brother-in-law, but I’ll still give you a beating!” Li Qingshan warned Han Tieyi before saying to Hua Chenglu, “Don’t worry, this is all for his sake. I can guarantee you that once he recovers, he’ll have turned over a new leaf and thoroughly reformed himself.”

“Chenglu!”

Hua Chengzan slowly returned to his senses. He could still remember Li Qingshan bringing him to the academy, but he had completely forgotten about the reason. With how clever he was, he discovered many blanks had appeared in his memories very soon, and a few matters he still remembered made absolutely no sense. It was like a story that had been cut up into parts and scattered.

Oh right, I just drank the Water of Oblivion, but what exactly did I forget?

He recalled out of reflex, but he found nothing. All of his thoughts had been sucked into a hole, and his heart felt empty, but never did he feel so lively.

Li Qingshan waved his hand gently, and Han Tieyi flew out, falling into the lakewater. He crouched down in front of Hua Chengzan and said curiously, “Oi, Chengzan, do you still remember Gu Yanying?”

“So she’s called Gu Yanying!”

Li Qingshan raised his head and said to Ru Xin, “The quality of your medicine is no good. What’s the point of just forgetting a name? I want a return and compensation!”



Ru Xin frowned. “But that’s impossible! Don’t tell me so-called infatuation can actually resist the effects of the Water of Oblivion?”

Hua Chengzan stood up. His eyes shone with a bright and sharp light. “That’s not true. I have indeed forgotten about her, but through my other memories, I can still deduce her existence. I even roughly know her gender and identity. Fellow Ru’s medicinal skills are truly outstanding. You have my thanks.”

With his intelligence, using a large number of facts as a basis to fill in these blanks was nothing difficult.

“Big brother, is that true?” Hua Chenglu was overjoyed. If it were not for this holding him back, he would have established a foundation successfully a long time ago. It might have even been possible for him to reach late Foundation Establishment by now.

Han Tieyi flew back. He too was taken aback when he heard that. He understood what it meant. He had known Hua Chengzan since young. His talent was already extraordinary, but he personally believed quite a large gap still existed between them in terms of talent and intelligence.

“To think I was worried about the many potential side-effects. If it were a regular person, then perhaps it would throw their thoughts into a mess, but seeing how well fellow Hua is, I don’t have to worry. Since it works, pay up!” Ru Xin extended her hand.

Li Qingshan said, “This costs money?”

Ru Xin shot a glance at him. “Am I supposed to compensate you when it doesn’t work, and then not charge you when it does? If you want to demonstrate your loyalty to your friends and keep up your appearance, pay it yourself.”

Li Qingshan asked, “How much?”

“A million spiritual stones.”

“Keep dreaming!”

“Are you saying that fellow Hua isn’t even worth a million spiritual stones? I’ve turned him from a pig-headed piece of trash to a clever and sensible genius!”

A pig-headed piece of trash! The corner of Hua Chengzan’s eye twitched, but he never expected Li Qingshan to say firmly, “Of course he’s not worth a million spiritual stones!”

“Then how much do you think he’s worth?”

“A hundred spiritual stones at most!”

Hua Chengzan wanted to speak up, but he faltered.

Ru Xin wanted to continue disputing with him, but after gazing at Hua Chengzan, she sighed. “Fine, let’s just say that’s reasonable. A hundred it is!”

Hua Chenglu burst out laughing.

A vein popped up on Hua Chengzan’s forehead. What’s this supposed to mean? Just earlier, you said I was a clever and sensible genius, but even after treating me, I’m just worth a hundred spiritual stones? So after all this talking and bickering, it was just to indirectly curse me?

“Please stop discussing my worth!”

Hua Chengzan bowed deeply towards Li Qingshan. “Qingshan, thank you.”

Li Qingshan waved his hand in an exaggerated manner. “You’re welcome.”

Hua Chengzan said, “But since medicine like this exists, why did you have to slap me twice?”

“About that, haha, alright, let’s not bicker over the small details. Let’s go back and keep drinking. We need to celebrate for you!”

Hua Chengzan said helplessly, “Let’s go elsewhere. Everyone happens to be here anyway. I think the bamboo forest on Cloudwisp island will do.”



A few streaks of light flew through the night sky. Liu Zhangqing and the others returned to the academy too.
