However, Yan Wushi gave a slight sneer. “Who is this? Is he someone my venerable self must know?” It was as if a basin of frigid water had been thrown over his head—Shen Qiao’s heart instantly became ice cold.
“Afterward, I tattled on him to Father. But Father said Liuxiong acted like that because he loved me, and that those he didn’t like wouldn’t even get a second glance. I think, perhaps, your old acquaintance is the same, isn’t he?”
He was unwilling to admit that he, who’d looked down upon everyone in the world, would one day find that a name had wormed its way into his heart.
“Not at all,” said Yan Wushi. “This venerable one was bored and wanted to tease you, that’s all.”
Shen Qiao felt a little helpless. “Since Guang Lingsan also knows you don’t have amnesia, why did you pretend in front of him earlier during the day?” “First, my venerable self doesn’t want Guang Lingsan to know that we’re close,” Yan Wushi replied leisurely. “This is to keep you safe, so you should thank me.” How are you and I close? Shen Qiao thought to himself, but he played along. “I’m grateful for Sect Leader Yan’s care. What’s the second?” “The second reason,” said Yan Wushi, “was naturally to see your dumbfounded, disbelieving, and utterly lost expression. It was quite entertaining,

Shen Qiao was speechless for a moment. Finally, he couldn’t take it, and said, “This humble Daoist is puzzled greatly over something: Bixia Sect and Huanyue Sect have no relationship, and the former is on the decline, so it has no benefits to offer Huanyue Sect. So why does Sect Leader Yan insist on going?” “Naturally, it’s for you,” said Yan Wushi.
Bixia Sect. Just now you told me one of them; what are the other two?” Yan Wushi gave a slight smile. “The second, naturally, is you.” “…Then, the third?” “The third is also you.”
Yan Wushi thought that he could look at Shen Qiao’s earnest expression hundreds of times without growing bored. In the past, he’d wanted this man to fall into the pitch-black abyss, to hate and curse the world, but he now adored his warm and gentle heart with that same fervency.
Though his countenance often held a warm and gentle smile, it was rare for him to laugh freely. It wasn’t a loud laugh, but the corners of his lips couldn’t help but stretch upward, and unceasingly so. Even his eyes were sparkling, like jade stones soaked in rainwater, vibrant and beautiful.
“That’s a strength, not a weakness.” Yan Wushi was the type to act on whatever whims floated to mind. As soon as this notion emerged, his hand was already on Shen Qiao’s. “This venerable one’s present weakness is you!”
However, at this moment, beneath that scorching gaze, Shen Qiao’s heart gave a thump. He felt like prey being glared at by a predator, one that wouldn’t give up until it caught its quarry.
At this moment, a sneer exploded in everyone’s ears. “This is someone who belongs to my venerable self, and you think you can kill him as you please?”
However, even if you’re still easily susceptible to scheming, that’s not a problem either—you have me, after all. With my venerable self watching out for you on the side, you need not fear being deceived by others!”
Once he finished, he lowered his head and kissed the beauty thoroughly until Shen Qiao was out of breath, all while enjoying his entire body through their clothes.
Yan Wushi smiled again and said, “A-Qiao, when you were in trouble, I traveled thousands of miles just to save you. Isn’t that enough to prove this venerable one’s feelings for you?”
“I know you bear many grudges against me due to what happened in the past,” Yan Wushi went on, “but toward you, my heart has already changed completely. As the saying goes, given enough time, one can see someone’s true feelings. Haven’t you realized it as well?” Shen Qiao calmed his breathing and said coldly, “I have never seen Sect Leader Yan’s heart before. How should I know whether your heart’s changed completely?” Yan Wushi grabbed his hand and brought it to his own heart. He said softly, “If you don’t believe me, you can dig it out and see for yourself, then you’ll know. From today

This was the first time in his life that he’d had to put so much effort into someone. If he couldn’t capture this person, then he’d have wasted the rest of his life. In that case, he might as well bash his head open and die.
Even if this incident hadn’t occurred, I’d have gotten the scroll from him anyway and given it to you.” Shen Qiao couldn’t help but send him a glance. If Yan Wushi wanted to be good to someone, he wouldn’t just be “good,” he’d be exceptional. He would offer them the entire world’s treasures and openly tell them, “I’m willing to do this for you.”
