Since the kitten returned to normal after waking up and ate and drank as usual, Xie Qi just thought that he was frightened by the stranger when he met Ye Chuan before and had no suspicion.
After Ye Chuan returned, he kept waiting. He thought that even if Xie Qi didn't ask him, he would not be able to resist his curiosity and go to take a look at the forbidden area later. Who knew that after waiting for a whole day, Xie Qi did not go to the forbidden area, but came to find him instead.
Xie Qi took out a jar of fine wine from his savings ring and placed it on Ye Chuan's desk.
Xie Qi: "I brought it back for you."
Ye Chuan: "That's too much! Why don't we drink together? We've known each other for so many years, but we've never really had a good time drinking together."
Xie Qi listened to Ye Chuan's words, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down in front of him. He picked up the wine jar and poured a glass of wine for Ye Chuan.
"Then I'll just have a drink with you."
Ye Chuan readily agreed. He picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then smacked his lips in satisfaction. "What a good wine!"
In the following time, Ye Chuan drank one glass after another, while Xie Qi only took a sip occasionally. Although Xie Qi tried to persuade Ye Chuan to drink less, he couldn't stop him at all.
Before long, Ye Chuan's face flushed and his eyes became a little blurry. He was obviously drunk, but he was unaware of it and continued to pour himself wine.
Then Ye Chuan grabbed Xie Qi's sleeve, put his other hand to his mouth and made a hushing gesture.
"Shh... I'll tell you a secret..." Ye Chuan's voice was unclear and full of drunkenness.
Xie Qi looked at Ye Chuan who was obviously drunk and responded, "Don't, drunk people speak the truth. I don't want to know any secrets."
However, Ye Chuan didn't seem to hear what Xie Qi said. Instead, he lamented and cried to himself, "My cousin! I don't want to tell you, but this matter is weighing me down... You are not bad looking, and you have outstanding abilities. Why... why are you the substitute of that God?"
Ye Chuan burped several times as he spoke, and continued to complain: "Cousin, I can't bear to watch this... You don't know what I saw on the murals in the forbidden area. I'm afraid you'll be sad..."
Xie Qi: "You are drunk, let me help you go to bed and rest."
Ye Chuan: "I'm not drunk! My cousin is worried that you will feel uncomfortable! You must not go to the Godly Pavilion, do not go to the forbidden area, do not look..."
As Ye Chuan was speaking, a token fell from his body while he was struggling. With a "click", the crisp sound was particularly loud in the room.
However, Xie Qi only took a look at the token that fell to the ground and quickly looked away.
"I understand. I won't go." Xie Qi said lightly, his tone calm and firm, as if he didn't care at all about Ye Chuan's words.
After saying that, he cast a heart-clearing spell on Ye Chuan without hesitation. As the spell was cast, Ye Chuan's body gradually relaxed, and his originally restless mood gradually calmed down.
After a while, his eyes slowly closed and he fell into a peaceful sleep.
Seeing Ye Chuan lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, Xie Qi turned around and left the room with peace of mind, gently closing the door.
However, what Xie Qi didn't know was that Ye Chuan wasn't actually asleep at this moment. He was just pretending to be asleep, but secretly he was keeping an eye on Xie Qi's every move.
When Ye Chuan felt that Xie Qi's breath had completely disappeared, he opened his eyes. Then he quickly scanned the ground and found that the token was gone.
Ye Chuan was overjoyed. He thought Xie Qi had finally become curious about the token and decided to go to the forbidden area to find out what it was.
After all, he had gone to so much trouble and said so many words, wasn't it just to get Xie Qi to go to the forbidden area?
However, before he could be happy for long, he looked up and saw the token placed on the table, standing there alone, as if mocking his self-conceit.
Ye Chuan was struck by lightning and nearly vomited blood. He couldn't help but curse in his heart: "I said so much, but I didn't tell you not to go! I told you not to go! Damn it, do you really not understand or are you doing this on purpose? Twice!!"
As for Xie Qi, as soon as he returned to his residence, Yu Ze approached him, leaned over slightly, and sniffed carefully with his nose slightly raised: "Have you been drinking?"
"Is it smelly? I only had one drink."
Yu Ze looked calm as he picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water smoothly, and handed it to Xie Qi, saying calmly, "Drink a glass of water first to calm down."
Xie Qi took the water cup, tilted his head back and took a sip, then put it down and looked directly at Yu Ze, asking curiously, "What do you think of Ye Chuan?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Ze showed surprise on his face, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Aren't you friends? Why are you asking this suddenly? Are there any conflicts?"
Xie Qi shook his head slightly and looked away thoughtfully, as if trying to dispel the doubts in his heart: "No... maybe I'm overthinking it."
Yu Ze: "If you don't feel comfortable with him, then there's no need to force yourself to be close to him. As for the magic weapons and elixirs I've given him over the years, they've more than repaid his kindness in saving you."
Xie Qi frowned slightly, his expression a little conflicted. He sighed softly and said, "It's not that I can barely say it, but I just feel something is not right... Oh, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'd better go look for that opportunity as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Yu Ze hesitated for a moment before finally speaking out, "Can you stay in Tianxuan Sect for the time being? Don't go down the mountain."
Xie Qi: "What's wrong?"
Yu Ze: "There's a problem in the Immortal Realm. Demons have infiltrated the Immortal Realm, Tianyuan was killed, and demons have also invaded several places in the Human Realm. The Emperor of Heaven wants me to go back and discuss countermeasures."
