Fu Changling was stunned when he heard Qin Yan's words. He stared blankly at Qin Yan walking ahead. After a moment, he couldn't help but rush over and hugged him in his arms.
Qin Yan was startled by him and frowned, "What are you doing?"
Fu Changling rubbed Qin Yan and said happily, "Senior Brother, you are so nice. I like you so much."
Qin Yan was stunned for a moment. He looked away, hiding the smile in his eyes, and turned around and said, "Let's go."
"Brother," Fu Changling followed him and said happily, "Let me give you a gift. Have I never given you a proper gift before?"
"No need."
Qin Yan said calmly: "I haven't given you any decent gifts."
Fu Changling seemed not to hear Qin Yan's words and continued to talk to himself: "What should I give you? What do you like?"
Qin Yan knew that Fu Changling had made a decision, so he didn't respond and let Fu Changling think about it himself.
Fu Changling thought about it all night, tossing and turning. When he turned sideways, he suddenly saw Qin Yan's earlobe.
He looked at the smooth earlobe and couldn't help but think of the time when he was at Wangu Cliff and he was wearing the red earring.
It must be said that Qin Yan looked seductive and beautiful with the earrings on. Fu Changling felt it was wonderful just thinking about it.
He didn't like Qin Yan wearing earrings given by others, but if these earrings were given by him, then it would naturally be different.
Fu Changling became happy when he thought about it. When he woke up the next day, he quickly began to search in the spirit bag.
He dug out a magical artifact from his spirit bag, a gift from Fu Yushu. It was inlaid with a red space stone. This stone was not only beautiful, but also had the ability to store things, just like a spirit bag. Fu Changling removed the space stone, melted some gold, and spent a lot of time polishing and carving it.
After polishing the earrings, I started carving a wooden box to hold the earrings. When everything was ready, we were almost at the Hongmeng Palace.
Fu Changling originally wanted to give it directly to Qin Yan, but before giving it away, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Yebai had sealed three sword intents in the earrings he gave to Qin Yan. He felt a little depressed for a moment, so he sealed three sword intents in them as well. After sealing the three sword intents, he realized that Jiang Yebai was in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, while he was in the Spirit Transformation Stage. No matter how valuable his three sword intents were, they were not as valuable as the other person's. So he sealed three more mantras, thinking that if the quality was not enough, he could make up for it with quantity.
At night, when the two were about to go to bed, Fu Changling hid his earrings under his pillow and looked at Qin Yan from time to time. Qin Yan turned off the lights and went to bed. Seeing Fu Changling peeking at him, Qin Yan raised his eyes and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Fu Changling smiled and took out the earring box.
Qin Yan was a little surprised and took out the box: "What is this?"
"Open it and take a look."
Fu Changling sat cross-legged on the bed. Qin Yan opened the box and saw the red earrings. Qin Yan was stunned for a moment and looked up at Fu Changling. Fu Changling quickly stood up and said seriously, "Don't refuse. I've been doing this for many days."
This suddenly stopped Qin Yan from saying anything. Fu Changling took out the earrings and said excitedly, "Brother, I'll put them on for you."
"this……"
"You're willing to wear the earrings given by your master, but not mine?" Fu Changling frowned. Qin Yan hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Then... you wear them."
Fu Changling was happy when he heard Qin Yan's agreement. He pulled Qin Yan to sit down and raised his hand to put the earrings on Qin Yan.
Qin Yan sat beside him, motionless, letting him insert the earring into his soft flesh. Then Fu Changling lifted his hair for him and looked at him quietly.
Qin Yan, who was standing next to him, had his brows lowered. The warm candlelight cast a halo around him, making him appear gentle and charming, a rare sight in public.
Fu Changling's heartbeat quickened a little, and he felt a little dry in his throat, like a traveler walking in the desert, feeling a little thirsty.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Qin Yan looked up at him. His blank yet clear eyes made Fu Changling even more emotional.
But he knew they had just begun, and he was afraid that if he moved too fast, he would startle Qin Yan and make him unhappy. After all, this wasn't a life-or-death situation like in Taiping Town. Qin Yan was very conscious, and he was afraid he would resist any intimate actions. So Fu Changling didn't dare to say anything more, but smiled and said, "Brother, it looks good with you."
Qin Yan shifted his gaze to the side and responded softly.
Fu Changling was very satisfied when he saw Qin Yan wearing the earrings. He jumped out of bed and said to Qin Yan, "I'll take a shower, you go to bed first."
Qin Yan was a little confused. He raised his head and asked, "Didn't you wash just now?"
"It's not clean."
As Fu Changling spoke, he turned into the purification room.
Early the next morning, the flying boat arrived at the Hongmeng Palace. Qin Yan led Fu Changling, Shangguan Mingyan, and Yun Yu down together.
After Yun Yu's conversation with Fu Changling, he felt much better. Although he no longer tried to please everyone for no apparent reason, he maintained a distance from Shangguan Mingyan. As he approached Hongmeng Heavenly Palace, he became nervous. He covered himself with a black robe and a white bandage to prevent others from seeing his vertical pupils. He walked down the stairs with a certain nervousness.
When they arrived at the gate, the gatekeepers saw the four people coming back and began to check their identities. When it came to Yun Yu, Yun Yu was shaking all over. Fu Changling quickly put his arm around Yun Yu's shoulders and said to the gatekeepers with a smile, "This is Senior Brother Yun. He's a little injured. Please go in first."
When the disciple guarding the mountain heard this, he said happily, "Senior Brother Yun, you're back?"
Yun Yu lowered his head and replied, "Yeah."
Hearing Yun Yu's voice, the disciples were even more delighted and gathered around him chattering. Fu Changling hurriedly said, "Don't disturb my brother's rest. Let us go in first."
Qin Yan also said: "Step back."
When Qin Yan spoke, no one dared to move forward. They quickly made way and let the four people in.
After the four of them flew up on their swords, Qin Yan said to Shangguan Mingyan, "You should go and rest first."
Then he looked at Yun Yu: "Are you going to go with me to see the master, or..."
"I want to go back and be by myself."
Yun Yu interrupted him very quickly, and then said: "I'll go see my master."
Qin Yan nodded after hearing this and said, "Then you guys go, I have to go find the Palace Master."
Yun Yu responded, bowed with Shangguan Mingyan, and then stood up and left.
Fu Changling followed behind Qin Yan. Seeing Qin Yan's worry, he smiled and said, "It's okay. Yunyu will be fine after a while."
Qin Yan nodded without saying anything more.
The two of them walked all the way to Jiang Yebai's Moon Palace. Qin Yan had already sent a message in advance to inform them. After arriving at the door, Qin Yan still bowed respectfully: "Master, I'm back."
"Um."
Jiang Yebai said calmly, "Come in."
As he said that, Qin Yan led Fu Changling in.
Jiang Yebai sat at his desk, seemingly reading something. He still wore his usual blue robe and jade crown, but his face had become much paler, his complexion taking on an inexplicable translucence, making him appear exceptionally frail, as if he were about to pass away at any moment.
As soon as Qin Yan entered the room and saw Jiang Yebai's appearance, he couldn't help but frown, suppressing the worry in his heart, and restrainedly asked: "Master, how are you these days?"
"Um."
Jiang Yebai responded, looked at the documents on the desk, and wrote while correcting them, "I heard that you went to Taiping Town."
"Yes." Qin Yan replied respectfully, "We found Yunyu over there, and also discovered the third meridian seal."
"Is that taken care of?"
"alright."
Qin Yan said calmly: "I also discovered some other things."
"Well," Jiang Yebai said without looking up, "Go ahead."
Qin Yan respectfully told Jiang Yebai everything, from Wangu Cliff to Taiping Town, Lin Chen's entire life and the actions of Hongmeng Heavenly Palace.
Jiang Yebai frowned as he listened, as if he was extremely unhappy with these things. After Qin Yan finished speaking, Jiang Yebai raised his head and said quickly, "Who else knows about these things besides you?"
The moment he spoke, his eyes fell on Qin Yan's earrings, and then quickly moved to other places.
Fu Changling was idle nearby, observing the two of them. This scene caught his eye, and he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yebai a second time. Jiang Yebai acted as if nothing had happened. Qin Yan reported, "There's no one else. Shangguan Mingyan and Yunyu might know something, but not everything."
Jiang Yebai nodded, thought for a moment, and said slowly, "If they had this idea back then, they probably wouldn't have given up on it now."
After all, Yunze's spiritual energy depletion hadn't stopped after all these years. Once a person's meridians were refined, it was difficult to stop.
"We'll have to intervene eventually," Jiang Yebai whispered. Neither Qin Yan nor Fu Changling responded. Jiang Yebai paused, then said slowly, "If we directly use this matter to hold people accountable, we'll involve too many people and face backlash. Give me a list of the people involved in this incident, and we'll take them one by one."
"Master, are you planning to investigate this matter?"
Qin Yan looked at Jiang Yebai with a serious expression. Jiang Yebai stared at him and said, "Aren't you planning to?"
"This matter involves serious matters. I am afraid that Master..."
"But even if I don't agree, you will still investigate, right?" After Jiang Yebai spoke, Qin Yan fell silent. He really thought so.
It is impossible for Fu Changling to let Lin Chen die in vain, and if Fu Changling takes action, it will be difficult for him to stand idly by.
"In that case," Jiang Yebai turned around, picked up the pen, and said slowly, "Why don't I investigate it?"
Qin Yan was speechless for a moment. After Jiang Yebai calmed down for a while, he looked up at the two of them and said, "Xiu Fan, go down first. I want to talk to your senior brother."
Normally, if Fu Changling heard this, he wouldn't think much of it. But now, when he heard this, he suddenly remembered Jiang Yebai's glance just now. He couldn't help but feel a little bit of resistance in his heart. He smiled and said, "Master, do you have something to say to me in secret that you won't let me hear? I'll be bored if I go back alone, so I'll wait for you here."
"Xiu Fan," Qin Yan said directly without Jiang Yebai saying anything, "Go back first."
Fu Changling's smile froze on his face, but he still said, "Brother, can I wait for you?"
"go back."
Qin Yan's words did not allow for refusal, so Fu Changling remained silent.
In fact, he had long discovered that for Qin Yan, Jiang Yebai was a forbidden zone that could not be touched. If there was no comparison, there would be no feeling. If one day he wanted to compare, he would find that no matter what position, there was no comparison.
He felt a little chest tightness for a moment, took a deep breath, saluted and said, "Yes."
After saying that, Fu Changling turned around and walked out.
After he left, Jiang Yebai and Qin Yan were the only ones left in the Moon Palace. Jiang Yebai held the pen in his hand for a long time before he raised his head and looked at Qin Yan. He simply asked, "What's with the earring on your ear?"
Qin Yan didn't expect Jiang Yebai to ask this, but he didn't hide it and just said, "It was given by Xiu Fan."
He himself didn't realize that his tone softened when he mentioned the word "Xiu Fan". Jiang Yebai's expression remained unchanged as he stared at him quietly, saying, "Why did he give you this?"
Qin Yan listened to Jiang Yebai's question and pondered for a moment. After a long time, he said slowly: "Master, there is something I won't hide from you."
As he spoke, Qin Yan smiled a little embarrassedly: "I am together with Xiu Fan."
The purple bamboo brush in his hand broke with a sound.
Not far away, Fu Changling angrily returned to Lanyue Palace. Halfway back, he remembered that if he just went back like this, wouldn't he know nothing? At least he should know what they said and did.
So Fu Changling quickly turned back. At this time, Qin Yan looked at the broken pen and was a little surprised: "Master?"
