Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 689 - 686 always scheming to win peoples hearts

Chapter 689: 686, always scheming to win people’s hearts Chapter 689: 686, always scheming to win people’s hearts Alex didn’t just bring people from the church, she also gave Du Wei a hug.

“I thought something had happened to you.”

Alex hugged him tightly.

She truly felt that Du Wei had almost left her forever.

Du Wei patted her back gently, while looking at the people from the church, he whispered, “I’m all right, and, how did you know I was in trouble?”

When Alex heard this, she became furious.

She pushed Du Wei away and gritted her teeth as she said, “I went to the church, and you were not there at all. I heard Minette’s voice, she told me to save you, and then I also remembered some things from the past.”

...

“Mr. Du Wei, I’ve almost figured everything out about those selective memory losses of yours. You’re really good at deceiving people!”

Honestly, the memories that Alex recalled this time were not complete, they were fragmentary, but by coincidence, they happened to fill in the gaps she hadn’t been able to remember before.

For example, the incidents when Du Wei beat her repeatedly at Hell’s Gate, which seemed to be in a past roughly resembling the Victorian Era, and he even almost killed her.

There’s a saying that fits well, “abusing your wife is thrilling for a moment, chasing after her is like entering a crematorium.”

When Du Wei heard Alex’s words, he looked utterly bewildered, “How is that possible, how could I deceive you? Alex, you are my fiancée, even if I deceive the whole world, I wouldn’t deceive you.”

“Tell me, what exactly are the memories I’ve lost?”

“Could it be true what you said, that I am some Duke, and in the past, even a devil who once tried to kill you?”

Admitting it was impossible!

He directly turned the tables.

In any case, as long as he insisted he had selective memory loss, Alex had no way to deal with him. Moreover, considering Alex’s feelings for him, when he acted as if he also wanted to know about the “lost” memories, it was unlikely that she would tell him.

Because for him, who suffered from amnesia, it would be a second injury.

As expected, Alex hesitated for a moment, still not telling Du Wei about the past she knew, but she said in displeasure, “Du Wei, don’t overthink it. You’ve been very good to me… And the past I remembered may not even relate to us.”

“After all, I am Alex, not Minette, and you are just Du Wei, not some Duke.”

Du Wei deliberately made a bitter expression as if he had numerous complex emotions swirling inside.

From the corner of his eye, he saw people from the church approaching, led by none other than his acquaintance, Hunter Lord Kane.

As a result, his expression became even more bewildered.

Tiquel and James stood by watching the two, not having heard clearly what they were saying, but at this moment, they too were extremely uneasy.

Since Dusk Bell was completely finished, the church’s people surrounded the area now; their future, naturally, could not be as before.

Only Ryan was picking his nose, staring up at the sky, seemingly looking at something.

In any case, his posture was very arrogant.

Alex comforted Du Wei.

But Du Wei looked desolate, somewhat distracted.

Just then…

Kane came over, looked around, his gaze lingered for a while on the two stone coffins on the ground, and then on Tiquel and James.

Then, he looked toward Du Wei and said gravely, “Lord Duwei, what exactly happened here? We were unable to approach before, was it the Demon Gods…”

Du Wei shuddered all over as if invigorated, and hurriedly spoke, “Your Excellency Cain, as you thought, Dusk Bell Church was attacked by the Demon Gods, and now, the only survivors of Dusk Bell are Matthew and Tiquel.”

He didn’t mention James because James was an undercover agent.

And Ryan…

They were his people.

Cain nodded at Du Wei and said in a deep voice, “So what should the church do now? Has the Demon God left? Or?”

Du Wei frowned and replied, “Take over Switzerland. The Demon God has been banished to the Ghost Dimension by me through a special method; it’s almost impossible for it to come out again.”

A glint of hope appeared in Cain’s eyes, “That’s wonderful, truly worthy of you. I had been worried that something might happen to you, but I never expected that you would actually take care of a Demon God.”

It was with great effort that Cain stopped himself from saying His Excellency the Duke.

Du Wei then looked deeply at him and pointed to the two stone coffins, saying, “Take these two stone coffins back to the church, especially the one that’s not opened. Make sure no one touches it, and guard it strictly.”

Cain was somewhat puzzled, “These two stone coffins, they should be the Three Stone Coffins of Boine. Do you mean to say there’s something inside them?”

In one of the coffins lay Ryan, while the other had not been opened at all.

Du Wei nodded, “There’s definitely something inside, but what it is, I’m not yet sure. For now, just take them back to the church. When I have time, I’ll open the other one and take a look.”

Now was not the right time; sending the object to the church was the safest option.

Originally, he could have put them in the painting, but the painting, along with Rahmer, had vanished when it was used to banish the Demon God, and he could not bring it back.

Cain nodded gravely, “I understand.”

Having said that, he turned and began instructing the others to prepare the stone coffins for transport.

At this moment, Du Wei finally shook himself, turned to Alex, who stood by his side, and apologized, “I’m sorry, my dear… when I get into it, I tend to overlook you. Please don’t take it to heart.”

It was all routine.

First, he would pretend to be in a daze, then, when Cain spoke, he would come back to his senses and speak to Alex about those matters, effectively glossing over the situation.

Alex sighed towards Du Wei, “I don’t mind, I just… I…”

She seemed hesitant.

“What is it you want to tell me?”

“I…”

Alex struggled for a while before finally speaking up, “I… Du Wei, can I trust you?”

Du Wei furrowed his brow.

Clearly, she had bought into his act, but her feelings were not as he had hoped.

Then, he couldn’t help asking himself, “Can I trust her?”

It was a rather helpless question.

Previously, Alex had carried him from the depths of the sea, and he had almost lost his life. Later, she had walked barefoot carrying him through the night to get him to the hospital for treatment.

If it weren’t for Alex, he would have been dead already.

Yet, Ryan Hamel had said before that in the future, this woman would kill him once.

Du Wei was a very rational man.

He felt he shouldn’t trust Alex, but he couldn’t deny the feelings Alex had for him.

She was willing to sacrifice her life to save his.

Even if it was a lie, Du Wei was willing to accept it.

Moreover, rather than doubting Alex, he would prefer to be suspicious of Minette.

He had always been vigilant towards that woman.

Ultimately, Du Wei faced Alex with a gentle smile, saying, “You can always trust me.”
