I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts-Chapter 304 - 203: Gongyang Jin’s Dream

It seemed like they were unwilling to continue discussing Chen Zhongxia marrying Bai Su.

Gongyang Jin once again fixed his gaze on Han Zhan.

"We're about the same age. Why is your Sword Intent so solid, your Sword Qi vast like an abyss or ocean? How do you cultivate it?"

Gongyang Jin asked icily.

To be honest, Han Zhan still preferred the clingy Gongyang Jin in reality. In this Memory World, although she was young, she was too cold.

After all, she's still the wife.

Even if it's in someone else's memory, she's still the wife.

Han Zhan patiently shared his insights into the Sword Dao with this young sword prodigy.

A significant portion of his insights came from Gongyang Jin.

One could say it was taken from the sheep and used for the sheep.

But don't mind these details.

If you were to describe Han Zhan's behavior using game terminology, it would be "increasing favorability."

As Han Zhan poured his heart out, Gongyang Jin's expression softened considerably.

"Talking with you is comfortable. It's different from talking with others." Even someone as cold as Gongyang Jin couldn't help but express such sentiments after the conversation.

How could it not be comfortable?

In reality, you know my roots, and I know yours; we're a couple who know each other inside out. How could I not understand your likes and dislikes?

Han Zhan thought to himself.

"I didn't expect that beside Li Tugui, there would be such a great power in the Sword Dao. Today's discussion has been very enriching for me."

Gongyang Jin clasped her hands towards Han Zhan, and it was evident she was in a good mood at the moment.

Han Zhan decided on the spot to try something else.

He suddenly looked at Gongyang Jin, standing opposite, and asked, "Gongyang Jin, what is your dream?"

Gongyang Jin was momentarily stunned by the question.

While asking the question, Han Zhan had been observing the surroundings for any changes. When he saw that the world hadn't shown the previous flickers, he had a deeper suspicion.

In this special world created from Bai Su's memories, there were more memories worth exploring hidden within.

Every "NPC" that appeared here, besides representing Bai Su's perception of them, also indicated her understanding of them.

Gongyang Jin's "dislike" for Bai Su and "enthusiasm" for the Sword Dao were Bai Su's understanding of Gongyang Jin.

So, does Bai Su understand Gongyang Jin's dream?

This was what Han Zhan wanted to test. It seemed this memory world didn't reject his actions, as there were no flickers trying to eject him from the world.

After being stunned for a while, Gongyang Jin surprisingly spoke up.

"My dream? My dream is to become a better sword cultivator than my father, to become the new Alliance Leader of the Anti-Xia Alliance, leading the entire Alliance to become the top power in the City of Extreme Evil!"

Is that all there is?

"Is this really your dream?" Han Zhan asked again.

This time, Gongyang Jin was silent for even longer.

She seemed to be completely still, yet the world didn't flicker.

"My dream is to find my biological parents."

Could this be Gongyang Jin's dream?

Perhaps not entirely, because this is Bai Su's Memory World. Information about others, besides what Bai Su directly knew, might also be derived from her memory.

Gongyang Jin's desire to find her biological parents might be information Bai Su happened to know.

Then, based on her judgment of Gongyang Jin, she considers this thought as Gongyang Jin's dream.

Thus, it was revealed in the Memory World.

In any case, Gongyang Jin's desire to find her biological parents wasn't baseless, and Han Zhan noted this down.

The conversation between the two ended.

At this moment, a sinister gaze, cold as a snake's, appeared not far away.

Han Zhan saw a minor, younger than Gongyang Jin by a few years, walking towards them with a fierce, gloomy look.

"What were you two talking about? You've been chatting for over an hour since a while ago."

The sullen youth's opening line was familiar.

Without Gongyang Jin needing to say his name, Han Zhan could guess it from the oppressive brotherly aura.

This should be the younger version of Chen Tao.

I thought Chen Tao only became so gloomy after experiencing misfortunes, but he was like this from the start? This annoying demeanor was there since childhood?

As it turns out, Han Zhan wasn't the first to think this way.

"Get lost!" Gongyang Jin in her youth was even more direct and harsh towards Chen Tao.

Despite Gongyang Jin's outburst, Chen Tao didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stared at Han Zhan with a vicious gaze, as if wanting to pierce him with daggers.

If looks could kill, Chen Tao would have stabbed Han Zhan dozens of times.

In reality, they wouldn't tolerate him, let alone in memory. Han Zhan didn't even glance at Chen Tao and turned back along the path he had come.

Leaving Chen Tao behind with a back that seemed to say, "You hate me, but you can't do anything about it."

...

Returning to the "respawn point."

Initially planning to use the gathered information to delve deeper into Elder Bing's attitude towards Bai Su.

Unexpectedly, after searching for a while, Han Zhan couldn't find any trace of Elder Bing.

"What are you doing? Not returning to your room and running around all over." Unable to find Elder Bing, Han Zhan instead met the steward who had assigned them tasks earlier in the day.

Han Zhan quickly greeted, "Steward, where did my companion go?"

"You mean that old man?" The steward raised an eyebrow. "The cesspit got blocked again. Orders from above wanted him to work overtime. Oh right, we don't pay overtime here."

Han Zhan: "6"

Luckily, Elder Bing hadn't returned with him to the Chen Mansion earlier. Otherwise, if the steward couldn't find the person, who knows what impact it would have on the entire Memory World.

Han Zhan greeted the steward once more and returned to his own room.

After waiting for another hour or so, Elder Bing passed by outside the door.

The familiar smell made both of them fall silent.

"I'll take a bath first," Elder Bing said calmly, his demeanor composed and unruffled, reminiscent of a determined scholar.

After speaking, without turning back, he went straight to his room.

Another half hour passed.

After Elder Bing finished his bath, he came to Han Zhan's room, and the two sat down to exchange their findings.

"There was nothing special on Bai Su's side. What I found was mostly about... your past with Bai Su."

"However, I have mostly understood the operational logic of the Memory World. As long as we don't overdo things, we needn't worry about sync failures and getting kicked out of the memory world."

Elder Bing nodded, reacting calmly to what Han Zhan referred to as "the past."

"Bai Su used to pursue me, but she eventually gave up. Chen Zhongxia took a liking to her and wanted to marry her; it's that simple."

"Now, let me share my findings," Elder Bing shifted the topic and continued.

"I discovered that all the people at Chen Mansion have digestive issues."
