Fall: Rebirth

"Chu Heng, is this your mother?" Yan Luo stood quietly in front of the portrait in the bamboo house, staring at the portrait with an extremely serious expression on his face.

Chu Heng nodded slightly to show his affirmation.

"She is so beautiful!" Yan Luo couldn't help but exclaimed, with admiration and appreciation in his eyes.

Chu Heng nodded silently and responded: "Yes, before this, I knew nothing about my mother. It was not until today that I realized that it was my mother who sealed my memory." He stared at the portrait, his eyes filled with endless longing, as if he saw the distant past through the scroll, "Thanks to the magical Monroe wine I drank in the elves, it stimulated all kinds of memories in my subconscious, allowing me to see my parents' appearance so clearly in my dreams. And this bamboo house also appeared in my dreams."

Yan Luo stared at Chu Heng intently, she could truly feel the joy and sadness in Chu Heng's heart at this moment. This complex emotion made her feel pity.

At this moment, Chu Heng's eyes suddenly became deep and blurred. He slowly turned his head, his eyes locked tightly on Yan Luo's beautiful and moving face, and said softly: "In that dream, there were not only my parents, but also your figure."

"Me?" Yan Luo was immediately confused when she heard this. She really couldn't figure out why she appeared in Chu Heng's dream. Her big watery eyes were full of confusion and curiosity, as if she wanted to see through Chu Heng's eyes to see the secrets deep in his heart.

Before Yan Luo had time to think about it, Chu Heng quickly reached out and held her hand tightly, then walked out the door. His steps were firm and powerful, as if carrying an irresistible force. At the same time, he lowered his voice and said to Yan Luo, "Follow me."

Yan Luo was somewhat bewildered, but for some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of trust in her heart. So, she followed Chu Heng out of the room as if possessed by a ghost.

When they came to a place not far outside the house, a colorful scene suddenly appeared in front of Yan Luo's eyes - a magnificent garden appeared in front of her.

Yan Luo couldn't hide her surprise and couldn't help but trot forward to enjoy the beauty of the garden. She widened her eyes and exclaimed: "Wow! So many precious and rare herbs, I have never seen them before!"

Seeing Yan Luo's expression, Chu Heng couldn't help but raise his lips and reveal a hint of a smile. He slowly walked to Yan Luo's side and said softly: "This is my mother's medicinal garden, which was planted by my mother herself. This is also the scene in my dream. In the dream, it was you who led me to find this garden."

"Me?" Yan Luo pointed at his nose, his eyes wide open, obviously not daring to believe what Chu Heng said.

Chu Heng nodded, looked into Yan Luo's eyes seriously, and said, "Yes, it's you. I didn't plan to come back. I had already discussed with Ling Han and Xi'er to go directly from the Elf Clan to the Golden Dragon Clan. But this dream was too realistic, even the appearance of my parents was clearly visible, so I decided to come back and take a look."

Yan Luo listened to Chu Heng's story with curiosity in her heart. She carefully observed the garden and found that every herb here was growing very lushly and exuding bursts of rich fragrance. She couldn't help but reach out and gently touch these herbs, feeling their vitality and vigor.

Chu Heng stood quietly aside, watching Yan Luo immersed in this beautiful garden, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"Plus, Hill told me that the scenes in dreams are sometimes things that exist in one's subconscious mind, so I thought about coming back to verify before going to the Golden Dragon Clan to see if this place really exists. Perhaps I can solve the mystery in my heart... After all, if I can really find that place, maybe everything can be solved." Chu Heng continued.

"Then if you don't come back, wouldn't my trip be in vain?" Yan Luo stared at Chu Heng.

Chu Heng murmured helplessly: "Then I didn't know you would come here to find me, and even fight with Yuan Hao..."

"Who told him to say you were dead!" Yan Luo felt very angry when he thought of this, "You are obviously alive and well, how could he say such nonsense!"

Hearing what Yan Luo said, Chu Heng couldn't help but feel a warm ripple in his heart. He stared at Yan Luo, with an imperceptible joy flashing across his face: "So, you fought with him because of what he said about me?"

Yan Luo did not raise his head to stare at Chu Heng. He still lowered his head, gently stroking a herb in his hand, and responded casually: "What else? I have no grudge against him, and I have never met him. How could I attack him for no reason?"

Chu Heng was deeply moved after hearing Yan Luo's words. He couldn't help but sigh, "Maybe all this is destined..."

At this time, Yan Luo raised his head curiously, cast his eyes on Chu Heng, and asked: "Before this, did you know nothing about the existence of this bamboo house and garden?"

Chu Heng gently shook his head and slowly replied: "Due to the memory blockade imposed by my mother on me, I know nothing about this place. Not only that, this bamboo forest is a forbidden area for the Silver Dragon Clan, and the clan has expressly forbidden any member to enter. Moreover, this hut is also protected by a powerful barrier. Even if someone accidentally breaks into the bamboo forest, it will be difficult to detect the trace of the bamboo house."

Hearing this, Yan Luo suddenly realized what was going on, and immediately teased, "I didn't expect your dream to be so wonderful that it could lead you to this place."

However, Chu Heng's expression was extremely serious. He explained solemnly: "Although my memory is sealed, these things do exist in my past. That is why they appear in my dreams. Coming to this medicinal garden today has allowed me to uncover the forgotten past and unlock the shackles of memory deep in my mind. I realized that my enthusiasm for exotic flowers and plants was due to the influence of my mother. When she was studying these when I was a child, I watched by her side. Over time, I naturally dabbled in these things."
