The Evil King realized Gu Qianying recognized him.
He no longer concealed himself, using the spiritual energy within his body to break free from the control on his acupoints.
He flicked his hand away dismissively, "I came here today specifically to find you. I have something to say."
Gu Qianying's face showed a look of vigilance, her hands extending forward, glaring fiercely at him.
"The Evil Emperor has been eliminated. You are like a grasshopper in autumn, with only a few days left to leap. How dare you come before me and act so arrogantly!"
Gu Qianying showed no mercy towards this person.
A sharp aura surged from her body, raging forward wildly, transforming into gusts of fierce wind that confined him to the small patch of land before her.
Although the Evil King was trapped within, his expression remained calm.
He cast a meaningful glance at Gu Qianying, his hand clenching and then quickly relaxing.
Gu Yi did not want to see him harm Gu Qianying, and he could not act.
The Evil King's calm voice emerged smoothly, "You don't need to be so anxious. I have something to tell you."
Gu Qianying saw no killing intent in his eyes and that he had stated his intentions repeatedly.
She finally ceased her actions, suppressing the fierce wind that had risen into a gentle breeze, flowing with the surrounding aura. The previous anxiety on her face slowly subsided into calmness.
Gu Qianying crossed her arms and approached him.
Their eyes met, as if blades were clashing between them, a chilling aura rising, making one feel more unnerved than the darkness surrounding them.
"Speak! What exactly do you want to ask?"
The Evil King rapidly closed in, anxiously inquiring, "Do you know the whereabouts of Nangong Mo?"
Although Gu Qianying knew this person would not kill her, it did not mean she lowered her guard against him.
Before the Evil King could get any closer,
Gu Qianying's figure recoiled backward, taking three consecutive steps.
She said with annoyance, "If you have something to say, say it properly! Don't force me to act."
The Evil King could only halt his movement, stopping in place. A chill spread across his face, tinged with more anxiety, "Do you know or not? I already asked you. Are you trying to play coy with me?"
Gu Qianying finally understood what this person wanted to ask.
Nangong Mo.
These three words, familiar yet strange to Gu Qianying.
They caused a ripple to slowly stir within her previously calm heart.
Gu Qianying felt her heart skip a beat, and she quickly clutched her chest, feeling a sense of inexplicable strangeness.
Seeing Gu Qianying react, the Evil King assumed she knew Nangong Mo's whereabouts and quickly asked, "Do you know or not?"
Gu Qianying frowned, glaring coldly at the person before her.
"Whether I know or not, what business is it of yours? Don't you think you're meddling too much?"
She repeated the three words involuntarily.
"Nangong Mo?"
The Evil King had initially thought Gu Qianying was playing games with him.
However, the more he looked at Gu Qianying's expression, the stranger he found it.
This person's expression was so unfamiliar, so perplexing, as if she didn't know Nangong Mo at all.
Gu Qianying pondered the strange emotion in her heart.
Coupled with the spreading pain in her head,
her body staggered a few steps, almost falling to the ground.
The Evil King felt something was particularly amiss. What was the relationship between Gu Qianying and Nangong Mo! They all knew.
The two were deeply in love, so much so that they would sacrifice their lives for each other.
How could she show no reaction upon hearing his name?
Sensing something peculiar, the Evil King's gaze narrowed slightly, and he asked with a hint of doubt, "Do you remember Xie Mo Mountain?"
"My brother, the Evil Emperor, do you remember him?"
Gu Qianying rubbed her temples continuously, spitting out the two words with great difficulty, "I remember."
The Evil King was extremely shocked. He had initially thought Gu Qianying had lost her memory.
That she had forgotten past events.
But things were not as he had imagined. This person remembered Xie Mo Mountain and his brother.
A strange emotion arose in his heart.
To confirm his thoughts, the Evil King asked again, "Do you know about your past self, the Demon Queen, and everything that happened at Xie Mo Mountain? Nangong Mo killed the Evil Emperor, do you know that?"
The barrage of questions made Gu Qianying unable to cope, her head feeling even more confused.
Her eyes darkened, "I am the Demon Queen. I naturally remember past events, but Nangong Mo killed the Evil Emperor? Was it this person who killed the Evil Emperor back then? Why have I never known?"
The Evil King's pupils instantly widened, his astonishment evident on his face.
He finally realized that this woman had lost all memory of Nangong Mo.
But between the two of them...
The Evil King decided not to dwell on it, shaking his head with a cold expression.
It seemed he could not ascertain Nangong Mo's whereabouts from Gu Qianying.
This person was useless, and he did not wish to linger.
He said coldly, "Since you don't know, I won't stay here any longer. I won't disturb you."
Gu Qianying was bewildered, a fog clouding her mind. She didn't hear what the Evil King said, only looking lost and lost in thought.
Who is Nangong Mo?
This person actually had such courage to be able to kill the wicked Evil Emperor in one fell swoop.
But what surprised her even more was.
She had no memory of such an important event.
The Evil King was about to leave but then thought of Gu Yi.
Gu Yi was, after all, Gu Qianying's half-brother. If Gu Qianying knew his whereabouts, it wouldn't be a problem.
He paused his steps and called out to the stunned Gu Qianying.
"I have something to tell you. Your brother Gu Yi is with me now, and he is unharmed!"
"Gu Yi is with you?"
Gu Qianying murmured the words, thinking to herself.
No wonder Gu Yi hadn't sent any news lately. It turned out he was with the Evil King, so she truly didn't need to worry.
But that was her own brother. After not seeing him for so many days, she didn't even know if he was well or not.
"Then how is he now?" Gu Qianying immediately asked.
The Evil King's gaze turned somewhat strange, "Don't you know about Gu Nian and Hu Keke's situation?"
Gu Nian, Gu Yi, and Gu Qianying were all children of the Gu family.
Gu Qianying remembered that when she left, Gu Nian was just a six-year-old kid.
Five years had passed in an instant. He was probably a bratty child now.
Hu Keke had likely also become a delicate young girl.
As she was reminiscing, she felt the gaze of the person before her, a strange feeling surfacing in her heart.
Her eyes lowered, and she quickly pressed, "What exactly happened?"
The Evil King's face turned grim, "Have these two been missing for a long time? You haven't known anything for these five years?"
The news came so suddenly that Gu Qianying couldn't react.
She looked up in surprise, "How is that possible?"
The Evil King said lightly, "You had no contact with the Gu family for five years, so naturally, you wouldn't know. But these two children still have no trace."
