"I'm fine." Afraid that she might actually do something, Aoqian opened his eyes, his gaze darting away, and hurriedly turned his head away.
Song Xiwei removed her hand from his face and noticed that Aoqian's ears were very red. She also saw that Aoqian's whole body was stiff, as if he had been frightened.
Song Xiwei felt that Aoqian was a contradiction.
Just a moment ago, I saw him looking cold-blooded and aloof.
But in the blink of an eye, he transformed into this frightened little rabbit.
She was getting more and more confused. This guy had too many facets, switching back and forth like that. Didn't he get himself all confused?
The two sat for a while and then proceeded with the plan.
Since Aoqian didn't bring it up, she didn't know what to say.
As darkness gradually fell.
The Cloud Ladder was the highest point in the entire Dragon Bone branch altar, so close to the night sky that it seemed one could reach out and scoop up a few stars.
Song Xiwei playfully reached out and scooped at the star a few times, then teased, "Young Master, I'll pluck a star for you. Will you smile?"
The two had been silent for a long time, and Song Xiwei's words broke the strange atmosphere.
The blush on Aoqian's ears had faded. He glanced at Song Xiwei, but only briefly before looking away and gazing at the vast starry sky.
He said with a hint of disdain, "I'm only a month younger than you, I'm not a child anymore. Are you going to use these childish tricks on me?"
Song Xi raised an eyebrow and said, "Who said I was just trying to fool Young Master? Young Master, look at what I have in my hand!"
As Song Xiwei finished speaking, she opened her palm, and there really was a "star" lying in her hand.
"Do you like it? It's yours!" Song Xiwei presented the "star" in her hands to Aoqian like a precious treasure.
Aoqian looked at the "star" in her hand without saying a word.
Song Xiwei felt that he was such a sullen person when he should have reacted; he was truly an unpredictable fellow.
After a long pause, Aoqian finally spoke, saying helplessly, "Song Xiwei, are you making fun of me because I'm a woman?"
"You, how could you think like that! The stars are so beautiful. Whenever night falls, seeing the stars is like finding a way forward. I thought that no one, whether male or female, would dislike the stars, right?" Song Xi waved her hand, and the "star" in her hand disappeared.
Seeing that Aoqian wasn't very interested in the stars, Song Xiwei continued, "Besides being able to transform into stars, our sect has many other interesting immortal techniques, so how about..."
She stared intently at Aoqian, thinking of a different approach, starting with his interests, to see if she could bring him back to her sect.
With the future uncertain and unsure of what to do, she thought it best to take him back to her sect to see what her grandmaster's advice was.
Ao Qian finally spoke, glancing at her, "Song Xiwei, do you think I don't know what you're plotting?"
Song Xi smiled awkwardly: "I was just offering a friendly suggestion. Besides, if the young lord wants to seize the throne, he must plan carefully and not be too hasty, otherwise I'm worried..."
"Worried about implicating innocent people?" Ao Qian said nonchalantly, "In my eyes, no one is absolutely innocent."
Song Xiwei felt that the conversation was going nowhere.
But she couldn't give up like that, and still said to Aoqian with a stubborn look, "Young Master, don't forget that your spiritual veins are damaged and you can't use your spiritual power for three months. Even if you want to cause trouble, you'll have to wait three months. The reason I suggested that you come back to the sect with me is precisely because you have a three-month gap now. If we can make the most of the time, we won't waste any!"
