"You are awake!" he exclaimed excitedly as he went in, but Xue Wei retreated a few steps until he was right next to the window, and if he retreated any further, he would fall out.

Xue Wei felt that he knew this person. He felt that there was a dangerous air to him, but when he searched his memories, he realized he had never met this man before.

"Who are you?" Xue Wei asked tentatively. He was on guard against this handsome man, but he also felt that he would not do anything to him. The doting affection within the young man's eyes said that he held no hostile emotions, but then why was Xue Wei so frightened just now?

"You forgot me?" The man asked with a voice that was filled with disbelief, his eyes showing hints of sadness, and he instantly stopped in his tracks.

"Little Wei, are you okay?" the man asked again, causing Xue Wei to frown and shake his head. He was filled with mixed emotions. Part of him screamed to escape from where he was this instant, while another part of him wished to stay. It was clear that this man knew about him, and he wished to know more too. This man could be his ticket to getting his memories back!

Xue Wei sighed as he sat down on the ground and crossed his legs. He could feel a powerful ripple coming from the body of this young man, and it was clear that there were no chances of escaping, even if he tried.

Since this was the case, Xue Wei shook his head and decided to be honest with this man that seemed to know about him. He might end up getting some information about himself.

"I forgot everything. Who am I? Who are you? Where am I, and what’s going on?" Xue Wei was very calm considering that he had forgotten everything, and hearing his questions, the handsome man nodded his head in high praise of his ability to be calm in such a situation.

"You are Xue Wei, my nephew," the handsome man said with a sigh. "Your mother died when she gave birth to you, so you lived with your father, who was an apothecary in the Northern Territory. Unfortunately, he had an accident during one of his herb gathering missions and was killed by a beast horde led by a Primordial Beast." The handsome man had a face filled with pain as he told the child this.

"When I heard about it, I came directly to pick you up. I am your only living relative, and I will look after you."

"The shock of losing your father must have been a terrible experience for you. All the way from the Northern Territory to here, you never uttered a single word, and when you arrived here, you shut yourself up in this room."

Hearing this, everything seemed unreal to Xue Wei. He had no parents, but he could feel the concern and care in the voice of this uncle of his. Hearing it, he instantly felt better. Although he grieved over the fact that his father had died, it was hard to truly grieve over a father he had forgotten everything about.

Looking at the child, a strange gleam appeared in the eyes of the uncle, before it rapidly vanished and his concern returned.

"My name is Xiao Lei, but you can call me uncle Lei. We are currently still within the Kingdom of Heping but no longer in the Northern Territory. We are in the Southern Territory in a city named Tiankong. It is one of the larger cities in the Southern Territory."

Looking at the child who was still seated on the ground, Xiao Lei turned quiet and waited for the child to say something. It was clear that he was digesting the information he had been given, and all of it must have come as quite a shock to the young boy. Therefore letting him take his time to accept it was the best course of action.

"I see," Xue Wei murmured. "I am sorry for having become a burden to you." He sighed, but Xiao Lei just shook his head and smiled. "You are no burden. I have no family, and thus it will be nice to have someone to share this large house with."

Hearing this, the child felt warm in his heart. Although he was an orphan, he was not alone, and he stood up and bowed deeply to his uncle. "Thank you for taking care of me!" he said with heartfelt gratitude.

"To make up for this, I will train extra hard with the other youths! I will become an outstanding talent and will kill many Primordial Beasts in your name!"

Making a promise like this, the face of his uncle turned strange for a moment, yet right after, it returned to normal and he sighed.

"You do not remember this either?" he asked gently as he went closer to the child. "You are unable to cultivate. I have searched everywhere for a cultivation method that will allow for you to cultivate, but so far I have not found any."

"I cannot cultivate?" Xue Wei asked, astonished, but Xiao Lei shook his head. "No, you cannot cultivate." He sighed.

Hearing this, the small child, who had hoped to become a true hero, was depressed as he was incapable of even taking one step towards this dream.

"Well, why don't you come with me and get something to eat? Even if you are incapable of cultivating, I will think of something for you," Xiao Lei said gently. Xue Wei, who was filled with despair, slowly nodded his head.

To not be able to cultivate truly made one the scum of society. If you could not cultivate, it was impossible to do your duty against the Primordial Beasts, and not only this, it was also impossible to become a strong hero!

The only safety that Xue Wei would have came from his uncle, but even so, he would be bullied by other children his age. Sighing, Xue Wei had a hard time accepting this, but he could do nothing but curse his fate.
