“There are other reasons as well.” For some reason, Aoqian was so certain.
Song Xiwei's beautiful eyes flickered; she was only a few steps away from the exit of the trial grounds.
She sighed and met Aoqian's determined gaze. "You're quite interesting."
Her tone was light and casual, as if it were a casual joke, but the curve of her lips was quite different from her usual nonchalant banter.
She probably didn't even realize that the look in her eyes as she looked at Aoqian was somewhat sincere.
She went over this in her mind, wondering whether she could tell Aoqian the truth.
If she keeps it a secret, since Aoqian and she have a long-term working relationship, it's easy for misunderstandings to arise if something unexpected happens in the future.
But telling him would indeed be troublesome, and the fewer people who know, the better...
Even within the entire sect, only a few people know this secret.
She rested her chin on her hand in frustration, her clear, watery eyes like a still lake, their tranquility drawing one's heart to a calmer state.
Aside from her stunningly beautiful face, even her slender fingers were incredibly pretty, with peach-pink tips and translucent, white nails.
After her bright eyes darted around, she calmed herself down, and the way she looked at Aoqian was completely different from before.
She smiled slyly and threw the difficult question directly to Aoqian.
"Now that you've discovered my secret, I might as well tell you. However, if you want to know this secret, you'll have to pay a price! Do you still want to know now?"
Aoqian suddenly came to his senses.
Just now, he was actually staring at Song Xiwei in a daze...
It seemed that this would happen every time he gazed at Song Xiwei for too long.
Her expressions weren't deliberate, but they were incredibly captivating; once you looked at them, it was hard to look away.
It wasn't until Song Xiwei's slender fingers poked his shoulder blade that he seemed to regain his senses.
Fortunately, Song Xiwei thought he hadn't heard her clearly, so she repeated the question to him.
Composing himself, Aoqian solemnly said, "Since we are partners who will live and die together, we should not keep any secrets. I am willing to bear the consequences, and you may bring them up."
"You'll know the price later. As for the secret," Song Xiwei's fingers moved from Ao Qian's shoulder blade to his chin.
Aoqian suddenly tensed up, his muscles taut, but the blood beneath his skin was rapidly expanding and boiling through his veins.
He didn't know what was wrong with him; he had only been poked by Song Xiwei's hand, yet he was reacting so strongly.
“I’ve lost control before.” Song Xiwei’s hand involuntarily pinched Ao Qian’s cheek. It felt wonderful, and she couldn’t put it down. This side of his face had fallen into her clutches countless times today.
Aoqian's thoughts were not on his own face, which was flushed red from being rubbed.
He simply asked her hesitantly, "Have you ever lost control?"
"Yes, it was the kind of chaos that caused the heavens and earth to collapse, with extremely serious consequences. It almost got out and I was treated as a scourge. Compared to your current situation, it's not much better. It's just that my master protected me back then and forcibly suppressed that matter, preventing it from spreading. Otherwise, I don't even know what I am now. Perhaps, with my sharp edge in front of you, you, a demon lord who might turn evil, would have to see if I'm willing to make way for you if you want to surpass me and become the biggest turmoil in the Six Realms!"
Song Xiwei recounted the thrilling secret in a casual and nonchalant tone.
Whether it was because of the secret or because of Song Xiwei's nonchalant tone, Aoqian felt a surge of anger. "Why are you only telling me now!"
