This scene seemed familiar, and Fan Zhiyi felt that he was finished.
Sure enough, Bing Nandong confiscated his token and looked at Fan Zhiyi: "Want to go to Jiuwanli?"
A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Fan Zhiyi shook his head like a rattle and held up two fingers: "How is that possible! I swear to heaven that I have no second thoughts!"
Hearing this, Bing Nandong laughed, and it was hard to tell whether it was a sneer or something else: "Was the thunder just now caused by your oath?"
Fan Zhiyi hesitated to speak. He couldn't say that he was threatened by the Heaven because he almost revealed the secret. Besides, he didn't have any spiritual power, so it didn't make sense that he summoned thunderclouds to overcome the tribulation.
After a while, Fan Zhiyi scratched his head: "I guess so. As expected, I swear I can't post anything casually, hahahaha..." Fan Zhiyi laughed dryly for a while, and when he saw Bing Nandong just staring at him expressionlessly, he felt embarrassed and restrained his laughter.
"That...that is...why did you come back today?" Fan Zhiyi would secretly glance at Bing Nandong every time he uttered a word. He couldn't tell whether Bing Nandong was in a generally bad mood or a very bad mood.
"If I don't come back, do I have to wait until you are poached before I come back?" Bing Nandong walked into the yard, came to the table, lowered his eyes, put down the things, and stroked Xiao Hei, causing Xiao Hei to rub his wrist affectionately.
Bing Nandong's eyes were not on Fan Zhiyi, and his tone of voice was unexpectedly calm, which made Fan Zhiyi feel uneasy. He felt that this person was a bit aggressive.
"I, I'm not..." Fate loves to play tricks on people. Bing Nandong always catches me when I talk to Zhuang Yujing.
"Fan Zhiyi." Bing Nandong interrupted him, pointing his finger at the package on the table. "This was sent to you by He An. He didn't use the name Jiu Wanli, so he left it at the foot of the mountain. I brought it back for you."
Fan Zhiyi was speechless, not knowing what to say, and could only reply, "Thank you."
"Qin Shuan's case has been resolved. Today, Tianyun Sect issued a notice stating his crimes. One of his arms was amputated, his path to immortality was cut short, and he was expelled from Tianyun Sect. He is forbidden from joining the sect again for life. As for the others, they were handed over to Lu Changfu to handle. I didn't hear about the follow-up and didn't get to see him. I apologize. This is at least a small explanation."
When he said this, Bing Nandong finally looked at Fan Zhiyi. His eyes were heavy and dark, which was different from that of a man of his age. Fan Zhiyi's heart sank when he saw them.
Fan Zhiyi didn't know whether Qin Shuan's punishment was light or heavy, nor did he know how his original self would feel if he knew the news, let alone how difficult it would be for Bing Nandong to be in the middle of it.
It seemed like every time he faced Qin Shuan and the others, Bing Nandong would apologize to him. What on earth was he feeling guilty about? There were so many things between him and Bing Nandong that the element of "liking" shouldn't have appeared in the first place.
"So Fan Zhiyi, are you still going to leave?"
"Um?"
"Leave Tianyunmen."
“…” Fan Zhiyi looked at Bing Nandong. The young man’s expression was serious and earnest, staring at him stubbornly.
Fan Zhiyi replied, "I don't have such an idea for the time being." He didn't dare to look Bing Nandong in the eye again, so he turned his head and looked to the side when he said this.
I thought Bing Nandong would mock him again, but he heard him say, "If you want to leave, just tell me. I will arrange everything for you. Don't forget, I am the eldest senior brother of Tianyun Sect." Bing Nandong paused, "Now, let's talk."
Fan Zhiyi was so nervous about this that he pinched the back of his hand and asked, "What are we talking about?"
"What do you want to talk about?"
Fan Zhiyi was very confused. He said that the things about his original body had nothing to do with him, but he had used the original body and witnessed the bullying he had suffered. All this was not Bing Nandong's fault, but it was related to him.
Bing Nandong was the first person he met here. He had saved him and protected him many times, and even... liked him. Fan Zhiyi couldn't help but be moved, but his reason couldn't get over those hurdles. His emotions clamored for love, tormenting him and making him suffer. The only way he could stop thinking too much was to make himself less of a headache.
But today, Bing Nandong mentioned again those things that Fan Zhiyi didn't want to think about.
"I don't know." This was Fan Zhiyi's reply.
"Then listen to me." Bing Nandong said straightforwardly. He patted Xiao Hei's head. Xiao Hei jumped off the table tactfully and lay down at Bing Nandong's feet.
Bing Nandong pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Sit down."
As soon as Fan Zhiyi sat down, Bing Nandong spoke up: "First, what happened to the calamity cloud just now? Are you injured?"
"I don't know either. That calamity cloud just floated over like that and then ran away like that. Does that count as passing by?"
Fan Zhiyi didn't even come up with an excuse. He thought Bing Nandong would ask more questions, but Bing Nandong didn't seem to care about the topic. "If you don't want to talk about it, just be honest. You don't have to bother thinking of excuses for me."
Fan Zhiyi pursed his lips, then heard Bing Nandong continue, "Second, Fan Zhiyi, don't lie to me. How much do you remember about what happened before you lost your memory?"
Fan Zhiyi could answer this honestly because he was not the original body, and the dog system hadn't given him access to his memories: "I don't remember."
"Third, do you want to leave Tianyunmen because of me?"
“…”
Bing Nandong spoke these words solemnly, his authority as a senior brother revealed. Fan Zhiyi felt a little unfamiliar: "There are many reasons, not just you. And it wasn't me who said to go to Jiuwanli, it was Zhuang Yujing!"
"That means I'm also responsible," Bing Nandong concluded. "I heard from Junior Sister that you asked her about what happened at the back cliff of the bamboo forest."
"Yes." Fan Zhiyi didn't hope that Xu Qing wouldn't tell Bing Nandong, but it didn't matter even if she did. He had asked Bing Nandong about this before.
Then Fan Zhiyi heard Bing Nandong sigh. Bing Nandong rarely sighed, and it seemed that this topic was indeed very difficult for him.
But the silence didn't last long. Before Fan Zhiyi could open his mouth to say forget it and change the subject, Bing Nandong finally spoke: "You hate me."
Fan Zhiyi stared at Bing Nandong blankly, without reacting.
"That year at the back cliff, you said this to me." Bing Nandong raised three fingers. "I swear on my heart and my cultivation that if even a single word I said is false, I will never be able to recite the scriptures again."
Fan Zhiyi opened his mouth. He didn't know why Bing Nandong started swearing again. A cultivator cannot make oaths casually. The Heavenly Dao will take it seriously.
"Actually, you said a lot that day on the cliff. Before that, I never knew you had so much dissatisfaction and resentment towards me. After falling off the cliff, I once looked for you alone, but you didn't want to see me."
