Chapter 6 Dating Encounter

Seeing Qingyi like this, Ye Qingyu had no choice but to stand up and bow to Beichen to say goodbye.

"Xiao Ye?" Ling Feng was surprised to hear Qing Yi calling Ye Qingyu so affectionately.

This discovery was truly remarkable. In his opinion, the relationship between Qing Yi and the Prince of Great Chu was far more than just ordinary friendship. He was filled with doubts, secretly wondering when these two had met, and how Qing Yi had come to have such a powerful friend.

"Ling Feng, why did the people from your branch get into conflict with the Beggars' Sect in the Central Plains?" Beichen saw Ling Feng raising his foot to chase Qing Yi, and hurriedly called out to stop him.

"Um, Protector, this isn't our fault. Here's what happened..." Ling Feng's curiosity, initially rising, was instantly extinguished by Beichen's question. He thought to himself, "This isn't good!" He knew the Protector was going to investigate, and he was afraid he'd be punished again, so he eagerly explained the misunderstanding.

"Xiao Ye, come with me!" Qing Yi took advantage of Ling Feng being entangled by Beichen, and couldn't wait to pull Ye Qingyu and strode out of the Demon Cult headquarters.

"Where are we going?" Ye Qingyu tried to break free from Qingyi's grip, but Qingyi held on tightly. Although night had fallen and no one was around, he still felt a little embarrassed by such an intimate gesture.

"Let's go to a great place to watch the moon. Do you remember the time we went to Yunyin Peak? At that time, you and Qingfeng went to find the way, and Qingqing and I sat on the top of the mountain, watching the moon rising from the sea. At that time, I thought, how nice it would be if I could watch the moon with you." Qingyi's tone was full of regret and longing.

"You can't write poems, nor do you know how to play the piano or the flute. What fun can there be in watching the moon with you!" Ye Qingyu smiled and teased Qingyi deliberately.

"Hey! Xiaoye, you are deliberately bullying me! I just have this small shortcoming! Just because of this, do you dislike me?" Qingyi pretended to be aggrieved.

"Are you sure this is just a small flaw? Qingyi, you are so confident!" Ye Qingyu couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes full of teasing.

"Alas, there's nothing I can do. This hero is just this powerful!" Qing Yi boasted shamelessly, and then he and Ye Qingyu came to the shore of Tianhu Lake in the Western Regions.

"Qing Yi, there is something I want to tell you." Ye Qingyu hesitated again and again, struggling in his heart whether or not to tell Qing Yi about that matter.

"What's the matter?" Qing Yi asked as he came closer.

"The Emperor..." Ye Qingyu had just begun to speak, but before he could finish, he suddenly heard the sound of soft footsteps. He immediately lowered his voice alertly and signaled Qingyi with a wink.

Qing Yi also noticed something strange. The two of them held their breath and hid in the dark, trying to see who was coming.

The two people who came seemed to be arguing fiercely. They were so excited that they didn't notice that there were people here admiring the moon.

"Chu Shi, are you done yet? How long are you going to be angry?" Mo Qitian's voice was filled with helplessness and fatigue.

Qing Yi shuddered with fear, his heart groaning. If he showed up now, Master and the others would be furious. If he didn't show up, wouldn't that make him look like he was eavesdropping on Master? With Master's unfathomable inner strength, if he just calmed down a little, he would definitely be able to detect someone around.

"Mo Qitian, am I the one who is never letting up, or are you going too far!" The King of Buddhism is usually as gentle as jade, but at this moment he lacks that gentleness, and his voice is full of anger.

Qing Yi could never have imagined that the King of Buddhism had such an angry side. He couldn't help but worry for his master and secretly sighed that his own Xiao Ye was the best, gentle and considerate.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I just missed you too much! You said you wanted to see Tianhu Lake, so I brought you here and even borrowed the Water-Dividing Pearl from my apprentice." Mo Qitian knew he was in the wrong, so his tone softened and he tried to coax Shi Wang to calm down.

"What's the use of knowing you're wrong if you don't change!" The King of Buddhism said angrily, his anger still lingering.

"I will change, I will definitely change! I will change whatever you say! I promise I will never go to the temple to drink and eat meat again." Mo Qitian admitted his mistakes repeatedly, but secretly criticized the talkative old monk in his heart, saying that he was really hurting himself.

"If I find you doing this again, I will really ignore you." The voice of the King of Buddhism gradually weakened, and he sounded a little calmer.

Qing Yi knew that his master's visit to the Western Regions temple, where he drank alcohol and ate meat, had disturbed the temple's peace. This was no secret within the Demon Cult, but everyone feared the Demon Cult leader's authority, so no one dared to speak out. Unexpectedly, the Buddhist King found out. As a lay Buddhist disciple, the Buddhist King was always pious. If it weren't for his deep affection for Mo Qitian, he might have become a monk long ago.

"Okay, don't be angry. Look how round the moon is tonight! We lovers finally get married. Let me play the flute for you." Seeing that King Shi's mood had eased a little, Mo Qitian quickly changed the subject to cheer him up.

The melodious sound of the flute instantly resounded in the night sky, graceful and ethereal, like a plaintive cry. Qing Yi couldn't help but marvel at the sound of the flute. It turned out that his master was not only accomplished in poetry, but could also play such a beautiful flute... In comparison, he was far inferior. Thinking of the boast he had just made in front of Xiao Ye, Qing Yi felt his face burning and a little embarrassed.

At the end of the song, Mo Qitian suddenly flicked his wrist and threw the flute towards Qing Yi's hiding place. Qing Yi was caught off guard and was startled. He subconsciously reached out to catch it, thinking to himself: "It's over, I'm exposed!"

In desperation, Qing Yi and Ye Qingyu had to stand up. Meanwhile, Mo Qitian and Shi Wang remained seated, not getting up.

"Master... Master, King Shi, you are here to enjoy the moon too!" Qing Yi stuttered and greeted them, his voice a little awkward. Ye Qingyu, on the other hand, looked calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.

"Get lost!" Mo Qitian said angrily. He'd originally wanted to chat with Chu Shi and enjoy their time together, but he hadn't expected these two to join in the fun. He'd actually noticed Qing Yi's presence when he'd taken out his flute, but he was so focused on coaxing Chu Shi that he hadn't had time to pay attention.

"Master, how can you be like this! We came here first and also wanted to enjoy the moon!" Qing Yi felt aggrieved and muttered softly, thinking that the master was too overbearing. It was obvious that he and Xiao Ye had arrived first, so why should they be driven away?

"Are you sure you don't want to leave?" Mo Qitian's tone turned cold and he threatened his apprentice.
