The times had gone by far too long, that Shen Qing Yi had forgotten exactly how long he had lived already.

At the time when the six realms had not yet been completely separated, he became this world’s first evil spirit evolved with intelligence, born with wisdom; following along the passage of time, he oddly enough became the master of Qing Lun Mountain, and all the people of the world revered him as the Verdant Clothed Taoist[1].

Shen Qing Yi- it was only a surname he didn’t know where he heard from, that he randomly put on was all.

Constrained under the pressure of his strength, up on the top of the mountain was only his one solitary palace. Inside, there was no other, and throughout the entire year, one would not see any other life-form. Being too lonely was truly hard to endure, so he divided up a portion of his conscious out to go to the human realm to experience the bustling smoke and fire described in those storybooks for a bit.

Due to [having] green eyes, Nai Man Jin suffered through all the world’s greatest wickedness. He turned firm and resolute- he did not bat an eye when killing someone, disregarded the principles of a monarch and his subject, the customs of filial piety, and through a line of blood flowers, bloomed open a path, and became the overlord of a region.

Naturally, he would not be willing to only control one Sahada.

Hence, he set his sights on top of the country of Zhou; and then, there, met a small cat.

It was a stray cat with sharp claws, that would scratch the enemy without hesitation.

Nai Man Jin felt that this person was very interesting. Cowardice and recklessness- to think that these two completely different traits could actually manifest in Mo Jing Yu so vividly, and also not seem abrupt, that it even had a strange attraction to it, making him have interest.

Only, the other person’s side had that loyal lapdog, truly making him feel it was an eyesore; but that was the one person the other person cared for. He was so absorbed [into them] that in the first time in his life, he experienced the mindset of what was jealousy, and even had an urge of wanting that person to disappear.

But it had to be said- without Mo Li, Mo Jing Yu was far less captivating than how he was previously.

He felt jealous, yet also deeply curious- just what exactly kind of love would make these two people ignore the views of common customs, step over influential people’s control, and be able to maintain it to this point. Nai Man Jin chose to agree to Mo Jing Yu’s cooperation because he wanted to know- between authority and life and his upheld love, what exactly would this person choose.

Thus, he sold out the other person.

Mo Li [hence] died.

Nai Man Jin thought Mo Jing Yu would fall then and there, but he who had lost protection instead bloomed into a much more beautiful, glittering flower of life, making him go into disappointment, but also uncontrollably be attracted- this tantalization that was based upon the elapse of a love as well as a lover’s blood came flooding out.

He did not believe that the other person would forget his own previous unchanging[2] lover just like this. Thus, he tested Mo Jing Yu’s patience with every time, and within the probe, he got lost from his original intention instead, and even could not make out exactly what kind of position did this person hold inside his own heart.

On a certain night, when he took advantage of his drunkenness and prepared to forcibly take this person, the bloodstain on the corner of the other person’s mouth as well as that pair of eyes flooded with hatred and obstinacy was really pretty, to the point he had entered a trance for a moment, and carelessly made the seed deep down his heart slowly grow into a big, towering tree.

During the first day of the New Year, he told Mo Jing Yu he wanted to experience the atmosphere of the the New Years’ night festivities in Zhou. When they entered the bright red streets brimming with a happy atmosphere, he saw the relaxed smile on the other person’s face, as well as the patience and gentleness he treated the children with. When this person spoke of the common customs, the features that were usually cold towards him had softened, and the moment the entire being was submissively recollecting memories was invigorating.

It was the moment that he had longed for.

When they exited the castle at night, Mo Jing Yu turned back his head to look at the castle walls coiled up with lights, and softly said a “Happy New Year”, then followed him together back to Sahada’s encampment.

Having lived together with this person for such a long time, he should have long known what kind of person the other party was. Mo Jing Yu was forever refreshing- he just took all the grudges and darkness and hid it all under the glamorous land of dreams, and then gave people a lethal attack.

When the pain came in, Nai Man Jin faintly grasped onto something.

“From the beginning to the end, in my heart, there was only him alone.”

Such a vehement love- this was the thing he wanted to get, and yet, a dead person so easily caught it; but he also could not help but admit- this was something that regardless of how he begged, Mo Jing Yu would not even give to him.

Because this person, gave [his] everything to another person.

He gripped at the blood on the pit of his stomach, and when he forcefully endured the pain and looked down, that face of absolute beauty had long already been twisted, yet the corners of the mouth still maintained a smile, eerie and magnificent to the point Nai Man Jin felt it was glaring.

He did not understand, why would Mo Jing Yu be willing to follow after Mo Li.

Thus, Nai Man Jin became a memory, and became Shen Qing Yi’s incomprehension.

He then searched for that person’s reincarnation. This time, he was finally able to grow up recklessly and unrestrained, and became the capital’s famous Jiang family’s Young Master. Shen Qing Yi was able to foretell that these two people would continue with their previous destiny this lifetime. He wanted to know if these two would be able to pass the trial this lifetime.

Thus, he became the Guo Shi.

He saw that this person grew sincere feelings for the other, and poured out all their affection [for them]; that night, the winds on the river were a bit strong. He only quietly looked at Jiang Zi Yu, and when the other person’s eyes met up accidentally, Shen Qing Yi’s heart skipped a beat, and he could faintly sense Nai Man Jin’s feelings.

I saw how the green mountains were charming.

But the green mountains cannot yet see that I was the same[3].

The other person only lightly passed by him, and then once again followed after that person’s footsteps.

Shen Qing Yi felt like his heart was being squeezed by a hand, in a dull, dull pain, but he also could not say what kind of meaning it held. He randomly found an excuse, and had Jiang Zi Yu become a disciple under his name.

If one were unable to make clear of what exactly the feeling was, then just have the person put by their side; this person was also quite interesting, that he could spend a very long amount of time with this person. When he thought of such, he would feel that dull and drawn-out time was not all that hard to go through any more.

But this person’s eyes still did not have him in them.

That pair of eyes filled to the brim with the stars would only look at that play, and that pair of lips that appeared soft and enticing would only let out the world’s most moving words of affection towards that person. Even one heart, was all filled with the other person- never once was there him.

Not knowing if it was possessiveness or jealousy, Shen Qing Yi had the person imprisoned within the Guo Shi residence- using beautiful words, it was for the good of the person, but instead he did such a thing with airs of one with high morals.

How laughable.

Shen Qing Yi was aware as to what exactly he himself was doing, but the look of the person who trusted himself like a good friend, made him give raise to a terrifying thought: if this person were to hate himself, even if it were hatred, as long as the unforgettable name was engraved onto the bone, would this pair of eyes dye in the world’s most beautiful colour?

He attempted to have this kind of forbidden technique developed, and did not hesitate to secretly use other people as an experiment. Even if he knew it violated against the Heavenly principles, he would still choose to do it this way.

He also did not know, for what reason exactly did he do this for.

The wicked thought itching for action inside his heart, finally uncovered itself in front of this person entirely. But when he had the person locked up, Shen Qing Yi hesitated. He thought back to the Jiang Zi Yu who treated him with such earnesty, and in the end, had the other person’s memories of that night wiped away.

He wanted to try- try this person’s unreserved love, and how passionate it was.

And not hate.

[1] 青衣道人 -Verdant Clothed Taoist. As shown, Shen Qing Yi (沈青衣) the name is derived from this title. The name has already been explained back in chapter 3 of this arc.

[2] 生死不渝- the phrase is translated as ‘[even] in life or death, it won’t change’, often referring to one’s attitude or feelings. In this context, it can refer to how Mo Li would still continue to be his lover, or be interpreted as a lover to whom Mo Jing Yu would continue to love even in life or death. Same thing, really, but nuances would more closer to the latter meaning.

[3]我见青山多妩媚, 可青山未能见我如是- is a line adapted from a poem. The second half of the original is actually 料青山见我应如是, which translates to ‘I imagine the green mountains is also as such’. In the original line, because the poet had no one/thing to love, he could only direct his feelings towards the landscape, the green hills. The person and scenery mutually appreciate each other. By finding the hills charming, he hopes that the hills too find him charming. Hence, the poet tells himself to be just like a mountain, to forget his feelings, be tranquil and auspicious, etc etc, charming and detached from the things that bring him down as a human. From this understanding, the adapted line should be interpreted as, although Nai Man Jin tries to forget his feelings, he is unable to, hence why the green hills are not able to see him as the same.
