Chapter 327 The Red Eyes Winged Lizard’s Hypothesis!
The [Red Eyes Winged Lizard]'s squad was already more than enough to hunt the scattered people of the Lin Family.
'Calm down… The one who erased my memories is myself. So I would definitely not do something detrimental to myself…' The [Red Eyes Winged Lizard] analyzed everything carefully from his own point of view included the choice that himself would make in some certain condition.
The [Red Eyes Winged Lizard] was not as bright and smart as Instructor Mei Lan, but he lived longer than her and definitely had much more life experience which made him wiser than he looks.
'Unless… I do it for that Little Lass! But what is the reason?'
'To protect that Little Lass from something? From What?'
'The clue I get from talking with that Little Lass is that my past self still remembers her before I separated myself from her. So the time when I erase my memories is between after my separation with Little Lass and before I reached Lizard Clan.' The [Red Eyes Winged Lizard] squinted his crimson-red eyes after he deduced this far.
'So my past self erased the memories about that Little Lass to protect her from Lizard Clan?! But… Why?'
'Unless that Little Lass had something that Lizard Clan wants so badly in her possession! Something that Lizard Clan really wants… Oh, My God… Divine Treasure from that volcano!' The [Red Eyes Winged Lizard] shuddered violently when he concluded.
It took a few minutes for the [Red Eyes Winged Lizard] to calm down himself and continued his deduction: 'Wait a minute… According to my personality, I would never erase the memories that precious with that Little Lass so carelessly. I will probably put a tight seal on that memories and put the timer on it so the seal would automatically be undone in about… half a year or a year.'
The [Red Eyes Winged Lizard] narrowed his eyes as murderous intent flashed in the deepest part of his blood-red eyes: 'The reason for the memories got erased now must be some higher-ups from Lizard Clan tried to read my mind which triggered the seal and automatically erased it before the higher-ups can read it.'
'Sigh… It seems even the higher-ups from my own clan cannot be fully trusted. I must move carefully from now on.' The [Red Eyes Winged Lizard] warned himself as he stared at his own lizard squad coldly.
The [Red Eyes Winged Lizard] almost made a mistake when he tried to trust the higher-ups of the Lizard Clan before, so he decided to not make any more mistakes.
It means he could not trust his own lizard squad too!
Of course, the [Red Eyes Winged Lizard] was not crazy enough, so he did not plan to intimidate, threaten, or kill his own squad.
He only planned to erase the memories about Tang Li Xue from everyone's mind in his own lizard squad.
With his [Mind Manipulation], the [Red Eyes Winged Lizard] could even easily create fake memories later to replace it, something like the cooperation with Fox Race still happening but without Tang Li Xue's assistance.
'Sigh… Little Lass, I will do everything I can do to cover for you, but 'treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime'. Someone would bound to know about it someday, the only way to protect that divine treasure and yourself are for you to become strong enough to protect it! I can only hope you can become that strong before anyone knows about it.' The [Red Eyes Winged Lizard] thought as he stared at the place where Tang Li Xue headed before.

Meanwhile, Instructor Mei Lan and all of her students already went out from Lin Family's residence.
Instructor Mei Lan sprinted through the valley with Tang Li Xue and Bing Yi followed closely behind her.
Bing Yi was still piggybacking the unconscious Hei Yinghao behind his back. Although, she really hated doing it, but she did not have any other choice since Instructor Mei Lan already ordered her to do so.
While Tang Li Xue glanced at Instructor Mei Lan several times already from behind, she opened her mouth a few times, looking as if she wanted to ask something from Instructor Mei Lan but still hesitating in doing it.
Instructor Mei Lan already realized it, but she only chuckled softly and pretend to not know it.
Instructor Mei Lan knew what Tang Li Xue wanted to ask from her, but their mission had to come first. She planned to complete their mission first before handing the Ancient Martial Art Manual in her possession to Tang Li Xue.
It did not take long for Instructor Mei Lan and her students to reach the edge of the cliff where they promised to meet with the male lizard before.
Actually, the male lizard had always waited for them since a few days ago here.
The male lizard felt delighted when he saw Instructor Mei Lan and her students, but he did not drop his guard yet because Instructor Mei Lan and her students still covered themselves with black cloaks and hoods.
The male lizard already knew how cunning the humans were, so he was afraid that Instructor Mei Lan and her students were the humans in disguise.
"It's me, the Inspector of Fox Race. Fortunately, we manage to save your spouse from Lin Family's prison with her life intact." Instructor Mei Lan said while uncovered her hood to show her face and pair of fox ears.
The male lizard's eyes became teary when he heard Instructor Mei Lan's words, and he immediately said: "Thank you! Thank you very much! I… I owe you all my life! I…"
Instructor Mei Lan raised her palm to stop the male lizard from blabbering and said: "Do not be too happy just yet. Your spouse is still alive, but her condition is… quite bad. You should prepare yourself before I take her out."
The male lizard staggered a bit.
He gritted his fangs in anger and sadness.
RRROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRR~!!!
The male lizard roared out loud to release outrage.
It took him a few minutes before he could calm himself down.
Instructor Mei Lan patiently waited for the male lizard to calm down, while Tang Li Xue and Bing Yi already raised their vigilance to the maximum to defend themselves if the male lizard suddenly went berserk and attacking them.
"I… I am sorry. I almost lost myself. I am ready! You can bring my beloved one out. I will accept her whatever she is right now." The male lizard took a deep breath and said apologetically to Instructor Mei Lan.
"All right." Instructor Mei Lan replied as she took the female lizard from her space pouch and put her in front of the male lizard.
Although Instructor Mei Lan and Tang Li Xue already gave the female lizard two [Talisman of Regeneration +3], and it made the female lizard recovered a lot until it did not looks like a big lump of meat anymore like before.
But the female lizard still looked so bloody and skinless without any limbs and spine since Lin Family already forcefully took them.
The female lizard also did not have any claws, fangs, scales, horns, wings, and eyes anymore.
Even the tough-looking male lizard immediately bawled out loud when he saw the pitiful condition of his beloved wife.
Sadness, pity, relief, delight, and anger were mixed into one.
"Her skins, limbs, and eyes can still be recovered with our talisman." Instructor Mei Lan comforted the male lizard while glanced at Tang Li Xue to ask for more [Talisman of Regeneration +3] from her.
Tang Li Xue's expression darkened a lot when Instructor Mei Lan asked for more of her talismans.
'I already gave thirty [Talisman of Stealthy +2] to those giant lizards, and now I must give my [Talisman of Regeneration] too?! How many credits I can get if I sell that many talismans?! Two hundred thousand? Three hundred thousand? Or maybe even more?' Tang Li Xue thought as she really wanted to cry so badly right now.
She did not have that many [Talisman of Regeneration +3] so Tang Li Xue decided to take out all of her [Talisman of Regeneration +2] and reluctantly handed it to Instructor Mei Lan.
There were at least twenty or thirty [Talisman of Regeneration +2] in that stack.
Instructor Mei Lan gave all of those [Talisman of Regeneration +2] to the male lizard and said: "This is [Talisman of Regeneration]. You can use one every half hour to recover your spouse. It will help her recover skins, limbs, and eyes. As for her spine, scales, horns, wings, and the other… I am sorry, but it seems you must ask our Fox Race's Medical Department to know how to restore them."
"Thank you… Thank you very much." The male lizard did not hesitate and accepted it.
The male lizard kept thanking Instructor Mei Lan and said that he would definitely do everything if she needs his help later.
They exchanged some pleasantries before Instructor Mei Lan bid farewell to him.
But before she went away from there, Instructor Mei Lan gave one more gift to the male lizard.
She took out the crippled Patriarch Lin from her space pouch and gave it to the male lizard.
The male lizard looked so surprised when Instructor Mei Lan did that, but Instructor Mei Lan did not mind his reaction and left with all of her students.
Instructor Mei Lan, Bing Yi, and Tang Li Xue took out their Wind Riding Birds from their space pouches.
The Wind Riding Birds immediately soared into the skies after Instructor Mei Lan, Tang Li Xue, and Bing Yi rode on their backs.
They could faintly hear the painful last shout from Patriarch Lin from behind, but no one really cared about his fate.
Instructor Mei Lan chuckled when she looked at Tang Li Xue's sulked expression.
Instructor Mei Lan knew that Tang Li Xue was upset because she used so many of her talismans in this mission.
Instructor Mei Lan took out something from her space pouch and threw it to Tang Li Xue: "Here! Take it!"
Tang Li Xue reflexively caught it with both of her hands. When she glanced at what Instructor Mei Lan had thrown to her, she instantly realized that it was the two parts of the Ancient Martial Art Manual: Heavenly Yang Art and Extreme Yin Technique!
Instructor Mei Lan giggled at Tang Li Xue's dumbfounded expression and did not forget to remind her again: "Destroy it as soon as you remember the content! Also, never tell the content to anyone! Especially to any humans, got it?!"
"Oh? Ah… I understand! Instructor Lan, I promise to immediately destroy it after I comprehend it!" It took a few moments before Tang Li Xue woke up from her daze and replied.
Instructor Mei Lan laughed at Tang Li Xue's replied. Forget about comprehending the content, it was very hard to even read that Ancient Martial Art Manual written in the ancient language.
Instructor Mei Lan gave it to Tang Li Xue only to let her satisfy her curiosity.
Of course, Instructor Mei Lan would never think that Tang Li Xue has the translator far mightier than even go*gle and Ba*du, her system.
