Chapter 18 The Ignorant Master
"Qingyi is a very sensible child." King Shi took a sip of osmanthus wine and praised him highly.
"Of course not! Look who taught him that. His master, I, deserve all the credit." Mo Qitian gently sipped the fine tea from his cup. This tea was a gift from the Buddhist King, and he always carried it with him. Of course, it wasn't that Mo Qitian didn't drink, but now he had been ordered by the Buddhist King not to drink or eat meat.
"Just you? Haha, Mo Qitian, ask yourself, when did you ever understand things?" King Shi sneered disdainfully.
"How am I not sensible? Chu Shi, you have to explain yourself clearly." Mo Qitian was not convinced. In the eyes of his lover, he was not as sensible as his apprentice. How could this be reasonable?
"If you were sensible, why would you go to the temple to drink and eat meat?" The King of Buddhism was still furious when he thought of this incident.
"Chu Shi, you're bringing up old things again! Didn't I admit my mistakes? Why are you still holding on to me?" Mo Qitian was extremely helpless. He blamed himself. Why did he take Chu Shi to visit the largest temple in the Western Regions in the first place? Why did he let the old monk meet and chat with Chu Shi? Unexpectedly, the old monk secretly reported him, making Chu Shi furious.
"I will never forget it, so you better be careful!" King Shi threatened.
"Haha, the only person who can make me, Mo Qitian, be careful is you, the King of Chu. I know I shouldn't go there to disturb people's peace, but whenever I miss you so much that I can't bear it, only going there can make me find a little peace." Mo Qitian explained.
"Then just go. It's fine if you don't want to worship Buddha or burn incense, but why break the temple rules?" The King of Buddhism was extremely pious to the Buddha. If he had known that Mo Qitian had done such a rebellious act, he would have rushed to the temple in the Western Regions to pull him back.
"I don't know why this happened. Now that I think about it, it might be revenge. I always feel that if I make you angry, you will come to me..."
"Alas, Mo Qitian, you are still ignorant..." King Shi sighed helplessly. The two of them had been separated for nearly twenty years, but they were always in each other's hearts.
"Chu Shi, don't be angry, I admit my mistake. Can the one-month ban be lifted?" Seeing that King Shi had softened his heart, Mo Qitian quickly made demands that he thought were reasonable. He could tolerate the ban on alcohol and meat, but he could tolerate abstinence from sex. How uncomfortable it would be!
"No!" King Shi refused flatly.
"Ashi, look at my disciple. That kid and Qingyu have only been separated for three years, and now they are inseparable. Look at the two of us. We have been separated for twenty years, and we are still wasting time. How many more twenty years do we have left?" Mo Qitian spoke sincerely. Although he was serious and didn't talk much, he always managed to hit the soft spot of King Shi and leave the sharp-tongued King Shi speechless.
“…” King Shi fell silent. Mo Qitian’s words made him fall into deep thought.
Qing Yi is indeed more direct than Mo Qitian. He says what he wants, unlike Mo Qitian who is silent and forbearing, making it difficult to understand his emotions.
He and Qingyu have the same status, both are members of the royal family, but he is no match for Qingyu. Qingyu is such a cold person, but when she looks at Qingyi, her eyes are full of doting, which is the response to a lover.
Thinking back to how many times he and Mo Qitian had argued since they met, Mo Qitian wouldn't explain, and he wouldn't pay any attention. Even when they reconciled, the problems weren't truly resolved; they were simply tacitly brushed aside and hidden. Consequently, the problems multiplied, and the conflicts and disagreements grew ever greater.
Mo Qitian didn't understand the responsibilities of his role as the Prince of Great Chu, nor did he understand the pressure he faced as the leader of the Demon Cult. Qingyi and Qingyu were undoubtedly more fortunate than them. Qingyi had a master to protect him, unlike Mo Qitian, who had to support the Demon Cult through fierce battles at the age of fifteen. Qingyu, on the other hand, was loved by everyone around him.
"Ashi, what are you thinking about? Come back to your senses!" Mo Qitian waved his hand in front of King Shi.
"Mo Qitian, I solemnly tell you that it's not because you make me angry that I will come back to find you, but you have to tell me that you miss me, then I will come to find you!" King Shi felt that Mo Qitian needed someone to teach him, after all, his master was really unreliable and must not have taught him how to be sensible.
"Ashi~" Mo Qitian didn't know what to say. He never expected that the arrogant and shameless King Shi would say such words. He was surprised and moved.
"Alas, Qingyi is so lucky to have a good master like you, but you are so unlucky that you have not met a good master. What can I do?" King Shi seemed to be smiling.
"Hahahaha, Ah Shi, I remember it." Mo Qitian laughed loudly, and even his eyes were a little glistening. How great it would be if Chu Shi had said this twenty years earlier!
"My master, apart from saving my sister and me and bringing us to the Demon Sect, he hasn't done many reliable things." Mo Qitian remembered that the Demon Lord was looking for King Shi.
"Indeed, that day he actually asked me if I could live to be a thousand years old like him?" said the King of Buddhism helplessly.
"He really went to find you, why didn't I see him? How did you reply to him?" Mo Qitian asked.
"I say, you've already given your grand disciple a treasure like the Water Pearl, so why are you looking for me? Wouldn't it be enough to just give it to your grand disciple?"
"Can he be at ease?" Mo Qitian didn't believe it. With the Demon Lord's temper, how could he let go so easily?
"Hahahaha, why do you say that too? You are all family indeed. He said that it is unreliable for Qing Yi to be thinking about his treasure. Besides, he is not a prince. What if he doesn't live to be a thousand years old?" King Shi found it funny when he thought of the words of the Demon Lord.
"Oh! He is really the one who can say that. Then why not go find Ye Qingyu? I have already rejected him for you. Tell him not to worry about you." Mo Qitian was unwilling to let the Demon Lord bother Chu Shi. He asked him to go find Qing Yi and the others. Anyway, Qing Yi was good at dealing with his master.
"He said Qingyu wasn't someone who was easy to talk to, and too cold, so he didn't want to go look for her."
"So you are the best candidate? What did you say?" Mo Qitian laughed. His master was really a naughty old man.
"He said that a master and his disciple are like father and son. In terms of closeness, his disciple is the closest. If you can't fulfill his wish, then the closest person should be his... well... hahahaha." The King of Buddhism laughed a little embarrassedly.
"What is it? Stop laughing and tell me quickly." Mo Qitian urged.
"Well, the Demon Lord said that the person closest to him is his disciple's lover...hahahaha." King Shi finally couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, this is something my master would say." Mo Qitian couldn't help but laugh.
"Then I asked him, you gave a gift to your grand-disciple and a gift to Ye Qingyu. Since you regard me as the closest person to you besides your disciple, do you have anything to give me?" King Shi said with a smile.
