Tang Daiyu scurried out of Riluo Residence after him.

"Bei Qing? Is the Thunder Cloud Sword Sect gifted in memory recollection or something?"

"No, not exactly. Despite the sect's name, they're more attuned to the mind and spirituality than weapons. Swift Breeze, on the other hand, is more attuned to strength and weaponry."

"Oh, so you're saying they might have a mind technique that could help me?"

Liang Yingzhou nodded and pointed to in between her eyebrows. "There's a technique unique to Thunder Cloud Sword Sect. It deals with the Third Eye Chakra. This chakra has to do with insight and is blocked by illusions. Sometime in your past, someone blocked yours. To know the truth, we have to unlock it. It's your best shot."

"Okay."

They walked together to the front gates. Just outside of Swift Breeze Sect's gates, he suddenly stopped.

Confused, she asked, "Zhou-ge? Why aren't we going?"

He put a finger to his lips and whispered, "Hush. I think we're being watched."

She froze and tried to not obviously look around.

Liang Yingzhou called out, "Who's there?"

Suddenly, they heard a light-hearted chuckle.

"You're very good, Master Liang. It's no wonder why there are so many praises of you."

Looking up, they watched Bei Qing as he flew down from a hidden spot above. He straightened out his light grey clothes and bowed respectfully.

"Forgive me, Master Liang. I was simply testing you. I hope you don't take offense."

Liang Yingzhou waved it off. "I'll forgive it because we have a more pressing matter. Ah Yue and I were actually on our way to find you."

Bei Qing's eyes widened. "Oh really? What could be so urgent that you needed to search for me?"

"Your Heavenly Sight Technique."

Bei Qing choked. "What?"

He cleared his throat and took a deep breath. After he had composed himself, he asked, "Why do you need that?"

"You should know better than me what Heavenly Sight Technique can do."

"But are you sure Qiao Yue needs this? It could do more harm than good."

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Tang Daiyu stepped forward and bowed politely.

"With all due respect, Master Bei, but I need to remember. Right now, I don't care about the consequences."

Bei Qing sighed, "Alright. If that's what you really want."

She nodded. He motioned for them to follow and lead the way down into Nanchang. Liang Yingzhou and Tang Daiyu remained a few steps behind.

As they were walking, he murmured to her, "He will be able to see your memories. Are you sure you want to go ahead with this?"

Without hesitation, she replied, "Yes."

She turned her head to look at him. "Zhou-ge, I don't care who knows anymore. I just want to get my revenge and bring some peace to my family."

He sighed sadly, "Very well, Ah Daiyu."

~~~

They finally arrived in southern Nanchang. Bei Qing waved his arm grandly.

"Welcome to Thunder Cloud Sword Sect."

Tang Daiyu looked up and gazed at the brass characters on the light grey paifang. Her eyes flicked back to Bei Qing.

Smiling kindly, he said, "Come on in."

Liang Yingzhou and Tang Daiyu followed him across the threshold and into the manor. Bei Qing led them to the very back of the property. There was a small man-made pond with brightly colored koi fish swimming around and a few bamboo benches circling the pond.

He explained, "This is the best place for meditation, in my humblest opinion."

"It doesn't matter where we are," Liang Yingzhou said dismissively. "She just needs her memories unlocked."

"Alright."

Bei Qing motioned for her to take a seat. Tang Daiyu fluffed out her light pink clothes and sat down on one of the benches. Bei Qing sat down on the same bench next to her. Liang Yingzhou remained standing, just behind her, watching like a concerned father. Bei Qing reached out and put his right index and middle fingers in between her eyebrows. He closed his eyes, and she did the same. After murmuring a few words, their surroundings faded away as he used Heavenly Sight to access her locked memories through the Third Eye Chakra.

~~~

They sat still for hours, but every once in a while, Tang Daiyu visibly flinched. Her body quivered, and Liang Yingzhou was ready to stop the process. But he knew that if he did so, it posed even more of a risk to her. He worried that perhaps he was wrong to have brought her to Bei Qing.

Finally, their hands fell away, and both of them opened their eyes. He stared at Tang Daiyu for a few seconds.

"So that's why you were asking about Chancellor Ru and my father the other day."

She nodded. "Yes. Thank you, Master Bei."

"Well, Empress Tang, I'm glad that I could be of help to you,” he said, slightly cold. “Now, I need to see to my disciples. Master Liang, Empress Tang, I'll take my leave first."

He stood up, bowed respectfully, and left. Liang Yingzhou came around and immediately took his vacated seat.

"Ah Daiyu, did it work? What did you see?"

She looked at him.

With a furious monotone, a snarl curled her lips as she said, "Don't worry, Zhou-ge, I remember everything now."

"Ah Daiyu?" his eyebrows furrowed with confusion.

A determined resolution set in her eyes.

"Trust me, the entire Feng family will regret the day they decided to threaten my father."
