Shen Qing Yi gathered the treasures of the world to use as betrothal gifts, took the realm’s greatest things and gave it all to him, and truly let the entire country know without a care for the outside realm’s views, and claimed that he was his companion.

What a wonderful thing it was- he dressed up in a suit of marriage garments, and watch as that person stand on top of the stage extend a hand out to him, and then smile and call him “Chang Ge”. Embracing the warmth that he yearned of day in and day out, he could not help but grip the other person’s clothes tightly, the warm sensation making his eyes water.

“Chang Ge, is this what you want?” Shen Qing Yi’s face of compassion and smiles imprinted in his eyes.

“Yes.”

“Since this is what you want, then Teacher is at ease.”

The other person tightly held onto him, and then the long blade in his hand pierced through his body without hesitation. Chang Ge watched as that face that belonged to Shen Qing Yi loudly laugh in a warped manner, the surrounding environment start to fluctuate, and the magical weapon that pierced his body transform into a white bone.

“You’re not Teacher.”

“Of course I’m not.” The other person looked at him mockingly. That face that gave Change Ge a sense of familiarity brought with it a smile that Teacher would never show, “I didn’t think that Shen Qing Yi’s disciple would actually bear these kinds of feelings towards him. If your teacher were to know, do you think he would still treat you without unpleasantness like he did in the beginning?”

Enduring the pain, he pulled out the piece of bone. At this time, he was still at the entrance of the same cave he was originally in. He pressed on the wound, his eyes darkened, and stared at the other person, with cold sweat sweeping over from his forehead. Withstanding the pain, he said, “Just now, you could have clearly taken a lethal strike at me.”

That person waved his hand and had him fallen to the ground. The tip of his foot mashed into Chang Ge’s wound without any hesitation, and the hand squeezed his cheek, with the pair of eyes squinted into a long and narrow shape. He laughed quite joyously, “You are my good little disciple, how could I have the heart to have you so easily fall here?”

The other person’s body flickered, slowly turned transparent, and looked to not exist any longer. This entire time, Chang Ge could not understand why this person would not directly kill him. The other person laughed, and sent a wave of black aura into Chang Ge’s body without hesitation, and then had the person thrown outside the secret territory, “My good disciple, you must not let down Teacher.”

The person who suddenly appeared made those outside the secret territory cry out, and when they finally came to, they discovered even Shen Qing Yi was gone.

It was a dark and muddled dream.

Within the haziness, Chang Ge saw a woman he had never seen before kneel before Shen Qing Yi, with a gorgeous face filled with stains of tears, “I beg of you, I only wish for him to be able to like me.”

Teacher’s face was hidden beneath that layer of veil, indifferent and not angered, “It’s already been a long time since I’ve used bone engraving, and in any case, this technique would face countering effects. I, too, cannot guarantee that he will come to like you after the bone engraving.”

“In the southern borderlands, there is a secret art that can precisely seek a bloodline without error. I’ve heard that God also has a person he loves- a blood seal can only sound out the other person’s position, but not correctly identify the person; does God not want to find the reincarnation of his lover?”

Chang Ge’s heart immediately jumped, and in a moments notice, an indescribable taste surged up inside.

No wonder Teacher would be so good to him despite being unacquainted, it turns out he was the other person’s lover in a previous life; but Chang Ge did not know if he was envious, or thankful. Jealous because his self from the previous life was able to draw in Teacher’s mind, or thankful that his previous life was able to let him meet with Teacher in this life.

He saw Teacher’s forefinger move- that was a small thing that the other person would do when he was moved. In the end, this person still agreed, and the target of the bone engraving would be the southern borderlands’ sorcerer, a famous clan master.

Not knowing why, Chang Ge’s eyebrows kept on jumping, and he would constantly feel uneasy.

As the other person was a clan master, the woman managed with much difficulty to get her hands on him, and had the person sent towards Qing Lun mountain for bone engraving. When he woke up, the other person forgot everything, and only saw the woman in front of him.

“Who are you?”

“I am your mutually in-love wife.”

Under influence of the bone engraving, the man gradually accepted the other person’s existence, but seemed to split into two people. In the day, he would be extremely tender and sweet with the woman, but in the evening, the entire person would turn manic, and would even want to hurt the other person.

The two lived for a period of time on Qing Lun mountain. Delayed by the woman, it was one year later when they then returned to the southern border, when the other person’s belly also carried a child. And after they returned to the southern borderland, Chang Ge then realized there was a peculiar man present.

That person would always exude a look of affection towards the sorcerer, and when the other person looked over, he would raise up a smile, and softly call out “a’Yao”.

Thus, in the night, the sorcerer would always secretly go see the other person, with extreme familiarity, as though he had once countlessly went to find the other person like this. He had no way of inhibiting himself, and could not avoid loving the other person.

On one side, was a wife who was pregnant, and on the other side, a lover who he loved deeply.

The hesitating and indecisive sorcerer dragged [this] on, up until when the wife was going into labour, when his most beloved person used the most resolute way to leave him. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and the face of other person who remembered everything turned hideous. He took the wife who was giving birth by the throat, then could not help but laugh.

Heaven’s laws, in the end, would not be willing to accept the ways of bone engraving- it took a strike at Shen Qing Yi, and let the person who had lost his devoted love recall his original memories after the fact.

What wife, what mutually in-love, all was a lie.

The sorcerer detained the unborn child’s soul, and gradually raised it into a ghost infant. He did not even spare the life of his own body to find the soul in the netherworld, and finally found the Jiang Zi Yu who was soon to reincarnate.

The person (Jiang Zi Yu) whose red thread had been cut and hence had fate cut off turned demented, and lingered in the River of Forgetting[1] for a very long time. Yet this entire time, he could not find the person he wanted to find.

He would always feel like he had to find someone, but also could not remember that person’s face, and could only stay here and look at the people who came and gone. He waited for who knows how many years, and in the end, was forced to reincarnate.

After the sorcerer knew this person was reborn, he sent the ghost infant he detained and raised into the madam of the residence just as she was giving birth. He even found that person’s single drop of blood essence, and had the other person’s life destiny[2] switched with the ghost infant, together along with blood(line) and aura.

But to no avail, this person had the favours of a god- even if his destiny was switched, the aura of the ghost infant had no way of holding down this person’s journey, and the other person remained on a smooth road, and peacefully grew up under everyone’s ardent love.

That person liked to wear red, and loved a unrestricted freedom. When they were embarrassed, the face would hopelessly turn red, and pretend to sway the fan and hide their own face, and avoid having other people discover their own nervousness.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and discovered a Wang Rui with a languished expression. When Wang Rui saw him wake up, he straightened up, and asked in a concerned manner, “Big Brother, you’ve awaken, does your body feel alright?”

Shen Qing Yi stood behind the other person, and did not question him as he would have before, however, his vision would remain on the other person. Having seen him awaken, he only indifferently blinked once, and did not ask even a single question.

A single heart unceasingly sunk down, and thus, Chang Ge knew- this thing that was stolen, in the end, still had to be returned.

His hand tightly seized the blanket that covered his body, he softly called out “Teacher”, the other person indifferently responded with an “En”, and did not have any unnecessary feelings attached to it. It looked to be no different from the usual, but Chang Ge could distinctly feel the other person’s slightest difference.

He was not willing.

[1] 忘川河- In the netherworlds, or hell, there is a river acting as a border between where the dead resided, 黄泉路, and the place where the ruler of the place resided 冥府. The river of forgetting, or neglect, is the chasm that divides the two, holding the lone souls and ghosts that cannot reincarnate.

[2] 命格- similar but slightly different to 命运. The term is similar to a natal horoscope in which how the stars align/the time you were born in will have an effect on your life as a whole.
