Since a long time ago, Chang Ge discovered that he could not tolerate the existence of any other thing that would occupy Teacher’s thoughts other than himself.

It was enough to have just him and Teacher on top of Qing Lun mountain.

He had all the spiritual beasts that accidentally entered long taken care of while the other person did not yet discover them, and if he came across a flower that had its own intelligence, he would pretend to carelessly use a lot of strength in his hand and have the other thing firmly shackled in the palm of his hand and killed.

Teacher does not need the accompaniment of these things. It was enough to have just him.

He would always use a devout gaze to look at the lofty Teacher, and be like a lowly, pitiful person pleading the other person to be able to repay him with a single look.

In truth, aside from him, there was nothing that would be able to lure away the other person’s mind.

And this point made Chang Ge quite satisfied.

Following the passage of time, this possessiveness wrapped up on the surface had become more and more intense, [to the point] that at the time it was conceived, it had instantly ignited—— he had no way of putting up with Teacher placing his gaze upon someone else.

He pretended to unintentionally be between the two, and then pestered Shen Qing Yi as to let the other person put his gaze onto himself, and purposely left Wang Rui to the side, forming a chasm, and let the other person understand his place and withdraw.

The other person looked to not mind, and only concentrated on leading the way at the front.

It had been a long time since he saw Madam Wang. To suddenly see the other person unexpectedly not have even a bit of frost (age) added, looking just like back when he left, smiling and stroking Wang Rui’s hand when she saw him, and asking the other person whether they were hot or cold.

After he left, Madam Wang used this reason to have the person put under her name, and raised as a legal son.

But when she saw him, a guard rose up from her eyes, and did not have a sliver of warmth one would have towards a blood-related son who just came back, but in consideration of Shen Qing Yi who was on the side, she would still have to put up an appearance of a loving mother, “Yu ge’er, you haven’t come back in such a long time. You’ve already grown so big.”

“Now that I recall, when you just left the home, you were only just no more than a beansprout. Now, you’ve already become a handsome and elegant youth.”

The other person wanted to play a false impression of a loving mother and son with him, Chang Ge too did not mind to use the little patience of his to support [this] in front of Shen Qing Yi, “It must’ve been troublesome for Mother to be so anxious every day, that even within such business, you would still send letters to tell me of the matters of the family.”

Madam Wang shot a glance at Wang Rui, and then smiled without another word.

Chang Ge and Shen Qing Yi lived within the residence. Due to his suggestion, the two’s courtyard did not have other people intervening, and he even put down a barrier to not let other lifeforms come interfere. Teacher was also aware, only indifferently looked at him once, said a word of ‘nonsense’ then went to meditate by himself.

Soon, when the entrance to the secret territory opened up at the few sect’s elders’ efforts, Chang Ge then very unwillingly entered. The hand touched the Qian Kun bag[1] within the sleeve that Shen Qing Yi gave him before leaving, then stepped onto the path towards the unknown secret territory.

There were rumours that within the secret territory this time, there was an ancient divine beast’s inheritance, hence why there would be some many people coming. Outside, the seniors would look to be quite friendly people, but after entering the secret territory, various methods used would come out one after another without an end. On the surface, they would give you a smile, but no one knew what the other person’s hand behind their backs held.

The amount of people who folded at Chang Ge’s hands were not small either- long before the other person even acted, he would have their neck firmly confined within the palm of his hand, and enjoy the process of that warm feeling gradually turning ice cold.

He did not realize either that his own pair of eyes were so red to the point of terrifying; of course, even if he were to discover it, he would not take mind to it all that much. Without Shen Qing Yi by his side, he didn’t seem to care much for his outer appearance at all.

Just depending on a killing intent, Chang Ge found the place of inheritance within the secret territory. He entered inside extremely carefully, and discovered that this secret territory was much more relaxing compared to previous ones he experienced. He had originally thought there would be other traps waiting for him inside, but on the entire way up until the white bones in front, he did not trigger any mechanisms.

He did not know how long these gloomy white bones here were stored for, as they looked to be as if they were just formed. He randomly flipped through a bamboo scroll left to the side, but then he saw the two words ‘Bone Engraving’ inside.

Chang Ge randomly flung the white bones still held in a sitting position onto he floor, then sat at the cleaned out chair, and carefully read on.

“I have been troubled by love, and must plead the Bone Engraver for a solution. Bone Engraving is originally a matter that defied the Heavens, that touched the prestige of Heaven’s principles and hence met with countering effects. As for Shen Qing Yi, he too could not yet actively obtain what he had wished for.”

“As the Heavens would not allow for it.”

He had never seen Teacher strongly desire for anything- all this time, that person had no desire whatsoever. The only thing able to draw in the other person’s thoughts was probably only himself. Once he thought about Shen Qing Yi having other matters he was concerned with, his heart could not help but hurt, and even wanted to destroy some things.

Chang Ge only took that bamboo book, and looked at the white bones from the corners of his eyes, then stepped over them without hesitation. With one magic art, he had everything inside buried within a sea of fire, and did not leave behind even the tiniest speck.

To leave the secret territory, he still had to wait for a few days. To avoid courting over bothersome things, he found a secretive area, and watched the pitch black sky, then, unknowingly, gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Within a blink an eye, he once again awakened, and found out he had slept for consecutive days without knowing how, and that the entrance of the secret territory had already been long opened. When he took big steps out of the entrance, with one look, he saw Shen Qing Yi. The other person’s expression was a bit haggard, but when he saw him, his eyes lit up in an instant, and slightly smiled towards him, “Chang Ge.”

He followed Teacher back to Qing Lun mountain, and just like normal, there wasn’t a single change. The other person would still carve out little figures for him like coaxing a child, and the corners of his mouth would slightly raise up as he listened to him talk about the fun things in the common-people’s realm.

One day as he was carving a figure for Teacher, the other person laid on the rocking chair, with a hand propping up his head, a head of black hair spread across randomly; the other person half closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose up a small angle, and the overlap of his clothes were untidy, that it revealed a large area of his own chest, and especially drew in his gaze.

Swallowing down his own saliva, he felt that he should not be like this, and wanted to move away his gaze, but also hesitated to, and could only force himself to wholeheartedly put all his feelings into the thing in his hand.

Suddenly, the other person opened his mouth, and softly asked, “Chang Ge, would you be willing to be your Teacher’s companion[2]?”

Just as that person finished speaking, he turned absent minded, and the carving knife in his hands cut open his forefinger. The drop of blood had already escaped out, but he still had not reacted. His entire being and thoughts hung up on the other person, and looked at that person in a stupefied manner.

When Shen Qing Yi saw his appearance, he could not help but laugh out loud, letting him feel ashamed for an instant. The other person’s features were gentle, then distinctly, word for word, asked him, “Chang Ge, would you be willing to become my, Shen Qing Yi’s companion, and let the world’s people know, you and I will both enjoy the path of eternal life together.”

That person’s forefinger lightly poked at his brain, as though agitating the waters within a dream with a single finger, and the corners of his mouth carried a smile, “Are you willing or not?”

As though Chang Ge was woken with a start, he held the other person’s hand, and just like the child seeking apprenticeship in the beginning who still didn’t know how to restrain his own emotions, sweat seeped out from his palms, “I’m willing, of course I’m willing.”

To be able to have mutual affections with Teacher, was something that even if he were to dream, would not imagine it to happen; and even more so when the other person even wanted to be together with him for an eternity.

The Chang Ge at this very moment, felt that even the dull airs were all sweet.
