CHAPTER 43 What sort of person you are, I know

“Then you...Why did you come only now?” Fu Changling could sense something was amiss. This person in front of him certainly did not look like he had come to rescue him only after eight years. He very cautiously asked, “Did you encounter some sort of mishap?”

“The second night after your accident, Shifu asked me to reinforce the Hidden Realm of Xuanji.”

Qin Yan’s voice was very calm. “I set out from the Heavenly Palace of Hongmeng immediately and spent nearly seven days to reach the Ten Thousand Bones Cliff.”

Qin Yan described the timeline very clearly. He set out on the second day and arrived at the Ten Thousand Bones Cliff on the seventh day. Generally speaking, it took eight days altogether.

With concern to Qin Yan, he had gone through only eight days but for Fu Changling it had already been eight years.

Fu Changling understood everything in an instant. For a while, he frankly didn’t know if he was happy or sorrowful, feeling somewhat preposterous but also a little glad.

He was in a trance for a few moments. Qin Yan didn’t urge him, quietly waiting for him to speak. Fu Changling slowly calmed down, then he suddenly realized something odd. He couldn’t help repeating it once again. “This is the Ten Thousand Bones Cliff?”

“Yes.”

“It took you eight days altogether from the time of the accident to the time you rushed here?”

“Yes.”

“It takes at least fourteen days from the Heavenly Palace of Hongmeng to the Ten Thousand Bones Cliff but you arrived in seven days?”

Qin Yan didn’t speak, remaining silent. Fu Changling’s heart slightly trembled as he watched him quietly. He couldn’t help recalling that when he picked him up last night, his previous injuries hadn’t completely healed and he was overworked. At first, he thought that Qin Yan had gone through something else these past eight years and so he had fallen into this sort of wretched situation. However, he understood at this moment, that this person had hurried over here without any rest.

“You knew I was here?”

Qin Yan remained silent for a long time before speaking. “I guessed.”

Then he explained in detail. “Through the transportation array, I saw a place with abundant sinister energy. There aren’t many such places in Yunze. Although the temporary transportation array transports people randomly, there will inevitably be some sort of inherent connection. You operated the transportation array from the Hidden Realm of Xuanji which is the seal of one of Avici’s energy pulses linked with the seals of the other three energy pulses. It was very likely that you were transported to one of the neighboring energy pulse seals and the Ten Thousand Bones Cliff, which is regarded as an extremely sinister place in itself - is the only sinister place among the three energy pulse seals.”

After Qin Yan explained, Fu Changling understood at once. “So you urgently rushed here without any sleep to rescue me.”

Qin Yan’s expression stiffened. He seemed to feel a little embarrassed and uncomfortable in the face of such a scene where his sacrifice was exposed.

Fu Changling smiled. Looking at the person in front of him, he suddenly really wanted to reach out and hug him.

This person, Qin Yan, is used to not speaking about anything he does. What he does for you is something he wants to do; without expecting anything in return, to the extent that he does not even wish to let you know.

It is this kind of kindness that is unwilling to appeal to, that seems simple and praiseworthy.

Fortunately, rationality stopped his actions before he could move. Fu Changling rose his hands and folded them across his chest, leaning to the side on the table beside, he coughed lightly, and said, “I see. I was impulsive earlier. Don’t take it seriously. I only realised now that a year here is equal to a day outside…”

The instant he said this, Fu Changling paused. He was dazed as he came up with a terrible thought that made his heart beat faster. He didn’t dare to think about it but the question still appeared before his eyes——

In his previous life, how long had Qin Yan stayed at the Ten Thousand Bones Cliff?

From hearing the news of Qin Yan leaving the Golden Light Temple to that Flower of Rebirth appearing on his windowsill, it was no less than...

Nearly five months...

In these five months, one month can be counted for going back and forth. That is to say, Qin Yan stayed at the Ten Thousand Bones Cliff for nearly four months.

Four months. One hundred and twenty days. Qin Yan was stranded at the Ten Thousand Bones cliff for more than a hundred years after receiving the bone-piercing nails!

Fu Changling suddenly turned back and looked at Qin Yan in shock. Sensing his gaze, he looked up at him; his gaze calm like a cold pool.

Looking at those familiar eyes, Fu Changling couldn’t help his emotions from wavering. His heart was aching with the feeling of sadness but he was unable to speak

One hundred years...

He had been under the Ten Thousand Bones Cliff for eight years and was already on the verge of falling apart. He could hold out day after day only because he had faith in Qin Yan’s words ‘Stay alive and wait for me!’. Regardless of how long he drew those horizontal lines one day after another, in his heart, there would inevitably be a little bit of hope. He always thought that Qin Yan would come looking for him one day - that he would come and save him.

But what about Qin Yan?

What was it that helped Qin Yan hold out for those hundred years?

Who would go save him? Who could he wait for and rely upon under the Ten Thousand Bones Cliff? Who?

Just thinking of this, a sharp pain rose in Fu Changling’s heart. Qin Yan watched him quietly from the side, appearing like he already understood everything.

Qin Yan knew what Fu Changling was thinking. He also knew what he was regretting and why he was in agony. It was precisely because he knew, he seemed unwilling for Fu Changling to wallow in such emotions. So, he turned his head and spoke coolly to change the topic. “I can see that you’ve made great progress in swordsmanship. Staying here for eight years, there ought to have been other opportunities. This is also a good thing. If you can succeed in swordsmanship, when your golden core is restored, you can certainly advance to the Immortalisation stage from the Nascent soul stage.

Hearing Qin Yan’s words, Fu Changling couldn’t hold back from laughing. “How do you know that my golden core can be restored? What if I can’t restore it all my life?”

“Not possible.”

Qin Yan turned around and walked over to the bed. Fu Changling called out to stop him. “Shixiong.”

Qin Yan’s steps paused and he heard Fu Changling say. “I’ve been staying under the cliff for eight years and I feel very uncomfortable. If you were to stay under the cliff for eight years, how would you feel?

Qin Yan was silent for a while. Only after a long time did he say, “Doesn’t matter. The path of cultivating immortalisation is very long. When your heart and soul are in the direction of the path, it doesn’t matter where one is.”

“If eight years don’t matter...ten years...fifty years...or a hundred years?”

When Fu Changling spoke those words, his voice was a little hoarse. Qin Yan turned his back to him and remained silent. After a long time, he slowly said, “I cultivate the Path of Lovelessness, the foundation of which is to lead a simple life and be indifferent to my desires. For me, it doesn’t make a difference where I practice cultivation. Eight years, ten years, and one hundred years are all the same.”

Hearing these words, Fu Changling couldn’t help but smile. He felt like everything in front of him was blurry.

He thought that fortunately, this person in front of him was the Qin Yan of this life.

If Qin Yan from his previous life stood in front of him and said such words, he was afraid he would cry on the spot.

Because he clearly understood that if the Qin Yan from his previous life said these words, it was not the Path of Lovelessness that made him so tenacious that he did not care about those one hundred years. Rather, beneath the surface, he held a kind of silent tenderness.

He had sacrificed a hundred years. Saying he hasn’t been doing well would only add to the other person’s feeling of guilt. If Fu Changling hadn’t discovered it himself, Qin Yan would never tell anyone that he had gone through all of this. He would swallow down all the suffering and never let anyone notice. Even if someone found out one day, he would tell them that it was okay and it didn’t hurt.

He was afraid that his sacrifices would become shackles for others, and it was precisely this deep-rooted tenderness that made Fu Changling’s heartache and made it difficult for him to breathe when he found out.

You cannot blame this person. He hadn’t done anything wrong. But you also cannot help but hate him because everything he does will become death from a thousand cuts, from the knife of your benefactor the instant you become aware of them.

A hundred years. Qin Yan is also a human.

If it was truly as he said and a hundred years did not have any effect on him, why had the Yanming in those years changed beyond recognition when they met each other again?

At that time, during the discussions at the Stage of Lords, he once saw Qin Yan. Although Qin Yan did not go on the stage to compete, being the chief disciple of the Heavenly Palace of Hongmeng, he was the representative leader of the Heavenly Palace of Hongmeng.

When he saw him on that day, he was standing on a high platform, his entire form as cold as ice. He did not have that tenderness of youth of the Yanming from those days, nor did he have that innocence.

So the moment they faced each other, it never occurred to Fu Changling that this person had anything to do with Yanming.

If a hundred years aren’t a big deal, then how could they turn into a sword and carve a person into another appearance?

But these are things he cannot tell. Looking at the man standing in front of him, as long as he thought of what he had experienced in the previous life, he would feel the rim of his eyes get sore.

Qin Yan stood still, appearing as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words. After quite a while, he hesitatingly said, “Actually, although there were hardships for you these eight years, there were also some opportunities. If they were put on me, I also think…”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Fu Changling abruptly threw himself on him from behind, put his arm around his waist, and held him in his arms.

Qin Yan was slightly startled. Fu Changling’s hand circled his arms, holding his waist and tightening his grip as if he wanted to engrave his whole person into his embrace.

He exerted so much strength that his whole body was trembling. For a second, there was confusion in Qin Yan’s eyes. He didn’t seem to understand why Fu Changling was feeling this agitated. Then he heard Fu Changling speak in a hoarse voice. “Don’t say it.”

“I won’t ask anymore.”

Fu Changling buried his head on his shoulder. “We don’t have to think about things that can’t be changed. Now that you’re here, it’s enough.”

Listening to Fu Changling’s words, Qin Yan slowly lowered his eyes.

He even forgot how Fu Changling was holding him for a moment. After some time, he slowly responded. “Mn.”

Fu Changling embraced this person, feeling him in his arms - his warmth, the scent on his body. He felt like everything he said was enough for him to sacrifice his life and drown in his beauty.

This sort of beauty was like opium poppy, soothing all his fear and pain. Fu Changling slowly calmed down and heard Qin Yan say. “Let go of me.”

Fu Changling remained silent.

“You’re not a child anymore.” Qin Yan dully spoke. “It is not appropriate to act spoiled like this.”

“I understand.”

Fu Changling took a deep breath and finally let go slowly. He softly said, “Sorry for bothering you Shixiong.”

Qin Yan didn’t reply. He went back to the bed, sat cross-legged, and put both his hands on his knees. He raised his head and glanced at Fu Changling. Seeing that Fu Changling was still standing in the same place, he pondered for a while and instructed. “I’m meditating. You go and take a look at how Shijie and the others are doing.”

Hearing Qin Yan’s words, Fu Changling understood that he didn’t want himself to be immersed in his emotions. He collected his thoughts and smiled as he replied, “Don’t worry. I’ve already sent someone. Shixiong, you can meditate.” Fu Changling sat down at the table. He took a book and gently said, “I’m free. I’ll read this book by myself.”

Qin Yan didn’t reply. Closing his eyes, he began meditating.

When Qin Yan stopped talking, Fu Changling sat at the desk by himself, looking at the book and thinking about Qin Yan from his previous life.

What had Qin Yan experienced during his one hundred years at the Ten Thousand Bones Cliff?

When he came to the Ten Thousand Bones Cliff, he fell into the cold pool cave and received help from the Senior and Tanxin. What about Qin Yan? Where exactly was the Flower of Rebirth under the Ten Thousand Bones Cliff? He inquired around for eight years, but there were no traces of the Flower of Rebirth. Where did Qin Yan find the Flower of Rebirth that he had given him?

The questions appeared in his mind one after another, disturbing his peace of mind. At the thought of what Qin Yan might have experienced, Fu Changling’s chest felt congested. He could only turn back and quietly look at the Qin Yan in front of him.

He was fine.

In this life, as long as he was with him, Fu Changling would help him no matter what it was.

Thinking of this, Fu Changling’s heart felt a little relieved. He looked at Qin Yan and confirmed his condition with his eyes to comfort his fear at the moment.

Qin Yan had already entered a meditative state, completely unaware of his surroundings. Fu Changling leaned against the pillar behind him, and unscrupulously traced his eyebrows with his gaze.

It was just that, when his eyes fell on Qin Yan’s face, he couldn’t help himself from being attracted by that earring on his ear.

That red color was too dazzling to be ignored. Fu Changling didn’t want to look at the earring, but his sight was always drawn to it. So after doing this over and over again, his rationality was finally defeated by emotion and he whispered, “Um… Shixiong, I have something to ask you…”

As soon as Fu Changling said this, he felt nervous.

He felt now was not a good time to ask about the earring. After all, this was also Qin Yan’s personal matter. Although he was this anxious to inquire, it was not a good time in the end. But, he felt awfully itchy in his heart. Qin Yan paid him no heed. He mustered up his courage, thinking that he should be more natural. He prepared himself with great effort, and said, “Um... I just found out that you have an ear-piercing. You don’t come across as someone who is fond of such things?”

“There is a popular saying that piercing a child’s ear can avoid calamities. I would often fall ill as a child, so my mother pierced it for me.”

The question was clear-cut, so Qin Yan answered. Listening to Qin Yan’s words, Fu Changling crossed his hands, resting his chin on them to lean on the table. He looked at Qin Yan and asked, “It’s been so many years. How is the piercing still there?”

“The Heavenly Palace of Hongmeng performs sacrificial rituals every year. As the chief worshipper, I have to wear earrings.”

Fu Changling nodded his head. He hesitated again for a while before finally speaking. “Um…Why did you suddenly put on earrings? I remember you didn’t have it before and it’s also such an eye-catching color."

“It’s a gift from Shifu.”

Qin Yan answered straightforwardly without hiding.

He knew it!

When he heard this answer, Fu Changling really wanted to slap the table and stand up. He knew that this earring must have been given to Qin Yan by someone else. Why else would he wear such a sissy thing on his ear of his own accord?

“Oh.”

Fu Changling turned his head to the side and hid his head in his wrists, silently opening his mouth. After a while, he still couldn’t help but ask, “How can Shifu gift you something like this? It’s too sissy.”

Hearing this, a light blade passed by Fu Changling who shrunk aside in fright. He saw the light blade hit the wall directly. Qin Yan spoke indifferently. “Don’t comment preposterously about Shizun.”

Fu Changling was startled by the light blade. After he calmed down, he was immediately filled with anger.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but felt no matter what he said, it would be inappropriate. Finally, he stood up with a shua and walked out.

Qin Yan didn’t open his eyes, only asking, “What are you going to do?”

“Look for food.”

Fu Changling slammed the entrance with a clang.

Not a moment later, he opened the gate again, looked back, and fiercely said, “Red is truly not a good color on you. Very hideous!”

After speaking, he slammed the door again and walked out.

He was out hunting for a few rabbits when he saw Zhang-Er and Tanxin floating back.

Both of Tanxin’s hands were tucked between his sleeves. When he saw Fu Changling, he sized him up and down and cheerfully rose. “Ah! You were bullied again?!”

“Shut up.”

Fu Changling lowered his head to pull out spiritual herbs. Tanxin circled around him once and clicked his tongue. “Tsk. Tsk. You were indeed bullied! Seeing you upset makes me happy.”

“Then don’t eat tonight’s feast.”

Fu Changling stood up. Listening to his words, Tanxin’s expressions changed in a turn of a hand. He chased after Fu Changling and said, “Brother, I’m wrong! Please let me eat? I won’t laugh at you anymore...”

Fu Changling ignored him and carried back some things back to the cold pool cave. After entering the cave, he recalled that Qin Yan was inside. He didn’t want to deal with food in front of Qin Yan, so he found another water source, squatted by the edge of the water, and began peeling.

Tanxin and Zhang-Er followed closely behind him and Tanxin asked somewhat confused. “What are you doing? Don’t you usually peel in the cave?”

“I’m afraid that I’ll frighten the Xianjun inside.”

Zhang-Er hurriedly said, “Didn’t you see how good-looking that Xianjun is?”

“Didn’t you notice how heavy the murderous intent on his sword is?” Tanxin opened his eyes wide. “I’m afraid that the number of people killed by him is much more than the number of rabbits killed by Fu Changling. Right?”

“Hush. Be quiet!”

Fu Changling cleaned the meat, placed it in a pottery basin, and used seasoned spiritual herbs to marinate it well. He frowned and said, “Why do you both talk so much?”

Hearing this, Zhang-Er and Tanxin glanced at each other. Zhang-Er swallowed and nervously spoke. “Boss, I didn’t say it. You talk much more than us.”

“Besides,” Tanxin added. “We usually speak this much but why haven’t you scolded us before?”

Seeing that they had formed an alliance out of spite, Fu Changling stood up carrying the pottery basin to leave. “Don’t wanna talk to you guys.”

Laughing, Tanxin went after Fu Changling, following behind him closely as he spoke. “My Master has told - When you encounter a mountain, pave a path through it; when you encounter a river, build a bridge over it. If you’re angry, figure out a way. Don’t hold back. How about you tell me so we can figure it out together?”

Listening to Tanxin, Fu Changling’s footsteps came to a halt. Tanxin cursorily said, “What happened? Have you attained enlightenment?”

“How are things in White Jade city?”

Fu Changling coughed lightly and uncompromisingly changed the subject and Zhang-Er answered without delay. “I’ve been keeping an eye. There’s nothing much. I heard that Immortal lady Xie still hasn’t regained consciousness and the Ghost King has been gathering all the famous doctors in the city to team up and look after her.”

Fu Changling nodded. Zhang-Er started reporting about other things, stiffly diverting the topic of conversation.

One person, one ghost, and one sword spirit chatted as they went back. Fu Changling didn’t want Tanxin and Qin Yan to contact too much so he raised his hand and collected Tanxin in the sword, then carried the pottery basin back to the cold pool cave and set up the fire rack.

Hearing Fu Changling bustling about, Qin Yan slowly opened his eyes. After watching for a moment, he seemed to feel embarrassed. So, he got down from the bed, stood behind Fu Changling, and asked earnestly. “Anything I can help with?”

Fu Changling was busy with his work, not expecting that Qin Yan would want to come help with this. He could sense that Qin Yan was standing behind him and involuntarily felt a little tense.

Allowing Qin Yan to help was not possible, but he also didn’t want to miss this opportunity to talk to him, so he coughed lightly and said, “Sit down and help me watch the fire.”

Qin Yan nodded. He took a wooden stick from the stone beside him and gently flicked the charcoal in the fire.

He didn’t sit very close to Fu Changling, but he wasn’t too far either. It was a very natural distance which made Fu Changling feel that they were just out to have fun in some spare time.

Qin Yan’s hair was scattered, hanging down from his shoulders. Fu Changling looked up to glance and feeling that such long hair seemed to cause a little inconvenience for Qin Yan, he couldn’t help asking. “Why don’t you tie it with a guan?”

“It’s troublesome.”

Qin Yan casually answered. Fu Changling turned around to take a glance. Putting on the hair guan from Heavenly Palace of Hongmeng was indeed too troublesome and Qin Yan clearly didn’t bring any other hair accessories. After contemplating for a moment, Fu Changling quickly said, “Wait a minute.”

He hopped up, washed his hands next to him, and wiped his hands dry. Then he took out a blue satin ribbon from his spiritual bag and stood behind Qin Yan. He raised his hand to smooth out his hair, and happily said, “I’ll give you a hairband. Do you use hair bands?”

Qin Yan paused, as if a little embarrassed, but still honestly said, “Rarely.”

“I used it when I was young.”

Hearing this, Fu Changling understood how much ‘rarely’ was. He raised his hand and pulled back half of his hair from his front. Qin Yan’s hair was very smooth. When held in his hand, it felt as if the hair was continuously flowing from his hand like water. The instant Fu Changling’s fingers slipped through his hair, he didn’t know why, he couldn’t help but imagine the scene where the hairband slid down from this person’s fair and delicate skin. The smoothness of this kind of hair was distinct when compared to that of ordinary people.

Fu Changling swallowed, not daring to think too much about it. He hastily lowered his head and sincerely tied up Qin Yan’s hair. His fingers inadvertently touched Qin Yan’s earlobe and he felt the ice-cold surface of the ruby. His hand slightly paused for a moment before he directly caressed that earring on his ear.

Qin Yan frowned, his voice turning cold. “Fu Changling?”

“Shixiong,” Fu Changling leaned forward against his ear and flatteringly said, “How about I change your earring?”

On one hand, he stroked the earring, wanting to take it off, as he coaxed him. “You can also use this earring if you put it in the spiritual bag. If you like ear studs, I have a lot of them here. I’ll change one for you, okay?”

When he spoke, his breath sprayed on Qin Yan’s neck, who remained unmoving, and only said, “Let go.”

“Shixiong~” Fu Changling tried charmingly. Qin Yan grabbed the hand that was trying to take off his earring, raised his hand, and threw him straight out from behind!

If it had been before, Fu Changling would have naturally been flung directly to the ground by him. However, he had been refining his body in this cold pool cave for eight years. As soon as he was thrown forward by Qin Yan, he flipped over in the air, put his hand back to grab Qin Yan’s wrist, and exerted force on his hand, instead, pulling Qin Yan’s entire person up at the moment of landing.

Qin Yan turned over in the air, stepping on the wall with his foot, and retreated using the momentum from the wall, trying to break away from Fu Changling’s grip on his hand; but Fu Changling followed his momentum, falling into his arms. Seeing that he was going to ‘throw himself into his arms’, Qin Yan raised his hand to strike back. Fu Changling countered his every move; the two of them went back and forth and went as far as to exchange more than a dozen moves in the cave.

Fu Changling didn’t have any spiritual power, taking into consideration that Qin Yan also didn’t use his. However, after exchanging about a dozen or so moves, Qin Yan realized that Fu Changling had gone through challenging experiences here, and he couldn’t gain advantage over Fu Changling’s fist and foot skills. So, he raised his hand, wanting to draw out his sword. Fu Changling said ‘Hey! Hey! Hey!’, followed after his hand to grab it, and covered it, grabbing his sword along with him. Qin Yan threw a punch at him. Fu Changling took a step back, forcing both of them to release the sword. Qin Yan turned his body, taking the lead to get the sword; then using the momentum of his spin, he went towards Fu Changling horizontally. On the other hand, seeing the edge of the sword coming towards him, Fu Changling unexpectedly did not hide or dodge. At the moment when the sword pressed against his neck, he raised his hand to support the other’s waist.

“Stand firmly,” Fu Changling held him and said, “Don’t spin, get dizzy, and fall.”

Qin Yan’s expression stiffened hearing these words. He wanted to retort but didn’t know what to say. He held back for a long time. Finally, he abruptly released his spiritual power and with the whip of a sleeve, Fu Changling was immediately sent flying out!

Fu Changling landed straight in the pool, choking twice from the water in the creek. Then he climbed up from the creek, coughing on one side and climbing up to the shore as he said, “Shixiong, are you serious?”

“If there is a next time…”

“You’ll beat me to death.”

Fu Changling dragged out his voice, answering and coughing lightly as he walked forward.

All his clothes were drenched by the stream, so he didn’t avoid it, and began taking off his clothes in front of Qin Yan. However, as soon as he unfastened his belt, he felt that all his clothes were suddenly dry. Stunned, he turned to look at Qin Yan who calmly said, “Let’s cook.”

Fu Changling accepted his fate, sat beside the stove, put the already marinated meat in the pot, and began sauteing.

In fact, the charcoal fire didn’t need to be taken care of at all. After all, this heavenly relic could concoct pills, but looking at Qin Yan genuinely wanting to help him, he felt somewhat happy.

While cooking the dishes, the corners of his mouth hooked up as he said, “I think Shixiong has changed a lot.”

“How?”

Qin Yan raised his eyes, rather surprised. Fu Changling watched the meat in the pot change color, looked up at Qin Yan, and said happily. “Seems like Shixiong indulges me a lot more.”

The stick in Qin Yan’s hand paused. Fu Changling looked at the fried meat in the pot and continued. “I know that Shixiong felt sorry for me; but in fact, at that time, when I was in the river, it was my own decision to save Shifu. I let Shixiong choose to intentionally play a petty trick. In the past, you rejected me too much, always wanting to stay away from me. So, I deliberately wanted to make Shixiong feel sorry for me. In this way, you could accept me a little more.”

Each time he would get closer to him a little, day after day. Inevitably, there will come a day when he will be able to stand beside him.

Of course, Fu Changling could not speak out such thoughts.

But Qin Yan only watched the flames dancing about in the stove. Speaking only after a long time. “It’s not like that.”

“Huh?”

“Changling,” Qin Yan raised his eyes to look at him and earnestly said, “You’re really good.”

Fu Changling was slightly stunned. For a split second, he felt as if his heart had been seen through by this person who seemed to be more reserved than him, but was actually more straightforward. He looked at him quietly and conscientiously said, “You don’t have to slander yourself like this to make me feel relieved. You are not a scheming person. You just want me to think that you are.”

“But what sort of person you are, I know.”

Author’s note:

Mo Shu Bai: Everyone has a chance to speak one sentence. Quick!

Qin Yan: Let Fu Changling stay away from me a little.

Fu Changling: I’m very happy.

Xie Yuqing: Save me.

Shangguan Mingyan: Save me.

Yun Yu: Please save me!!! Shixiong! Shen Xiufan!! Have you guys forgotten us?!?!

[Already revised part presented as a gift: This little Fu is too dissolute. I have to restrain him a little, so I changed this section. But it is put here as a reward.]

He beamed at Qin Yan. Although Qin Yan pressed the sword to his neck, his face became more and more unsightly.

“Shixiong,” seeing that Qin Yan seemed to have realized something, Fu Changling softly said, “I noticed that you’ve changed a lot this time when you came to find me.”

“Let go.”

Qin Yan spoke coldly, but Fu Changling didn’t let go this time. He drew closer to Qin Yan and bent over with a smile. “Shixiong has been indulging me a lot more.”
