Fang Kongyi looked at Xie Qi, who was silent and bowed his head, and raised a knowing smile: "Now you finally understand your master's choice."
Xie Qi lowered his head, his face obscured by his scattered hair. His fingers gripped the edge of the table tightly, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force. A small puddle of water quietly spread across the surface of the table in front of him.
Fang Kongyi's smile suddenly froze. He stood up abruptly and hurried forward, bewildered. "Hey, don't cry! I didn't mean to provoke you. Now that we know your master's decision, we can find a way to remedy the situation, right?"
Xie Qi looked up, tears still welling up in his red eyes. He choked up and said, "Master said he wanted to... erase my memory..."
At first, when Yu Ze said that he would leave sooner or later, Xie Qi could still control his emotions, but after Yu Ze said that he would erase his memory, he realized that his master really wanted to leave him.
The first time Fang Kongyi made a child cry was when it was his brother-in-law. In a desperate situation, he betrayed his friend without hesitation: "If you really don't want your master to leave, listen to me. Let him fall in love with you, and he will naturally be reluctant to leave."
Xie Qi: "But...but my master practices the ruthless way."
"What's wrong with the Merciless Path?" Fang Kongyi waved his hand disapprovingly and sat back down. "Do you still expect him to ascend? Even the Emperor of Heaven is no match for him. He doesn't care about becoming an immortal at all. Breaking the Merciless Path or not has no effect on him. It's just..." He paused, "It's not easy to make your master interested."
After hearing what Fang Kongyi said, Xie Qi remained silent. He didn't want his master to unilaterally erase his memory and leave him one day in the future.
Fang Kongyi said earnestly, "You are still young, so there is no need to rush. Your master can still be with you for at least a few hundred years. You just need to make him fall in love with you during these long years and be reluctant to leave you."
After saying this, he seemed to suddenly remember something and immediately added, "However, if after these hundreds of years of getting along, you find that you don't like your master as much as you thought, I hope you can pretend that nothing happened, respect Yu Ze's choice, and let go calmly."
Xie Qi stared at Fang Kongyi, his eyes firm and serious: "I understand."
Xie Qi felt very complicated at this moment. In the past, his feelings towards his master were more of dependence and respect, and he had never had any improper thoughts.
But now, he clearly realized that he could not accept the fact that Yu Ze left. This realization made Xie Qi's feelings towards Yu Ze quietly change, and a new feeling slowly grew in his heart.
"Don't worry, brother. How about I help you chase him? I'm very experienced in this area."
At this time, Xie Qi's emotions had calmed down. He raised his head and looked at Fang Kongyi in confusion: "You? You can chase people?" There was obvious doubt in his tone.
Fang Kongyi raised his chin proudly: "Of course. I have a lover." As he spoke, a sweet look unconsciously appeared on his face.
Xie Qi: "Why haven't I seen him before? Who is he? Is he also a fox demon?"
When Fang Kongyi heard this, he smiled with a worthless look on his face and said, "My wife is a human, and she's super attractive."
Xie Qi: "...If you're in heat, get out."
Fang Kongyi quickly put away his infatuated expression and coughed lightly: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about my business anymore. Let's talk about you. Just listen to me and stay in Yao Country for a while."
Xie Qi: "What do you want to do?"
Fang Kongyi lowered his voice mysteriously: "Of course, I'm testing your master's attitude. If he trusts you to me and doesn't come looking for you, it means he's just being responsible and raising you as his apprentice. But if he can't help but come looking for you..."
He paused meaningfully, "That means he has begun to care about you."
Xie Qi fell into deep thought after hearing this. He really wanted to know what his master really thought of him. Could his master really leave so heartlessly?
After a moment of silence, Xie Qi finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you, I will stay here for a while."
On the other side, Yu Ze sat by the bed with a frown on his face. It was already midnight, but Xie Qi and Fang Kongyi had not returned yet.
Yu Ze knew very well the strength of Kong Yi, and no one could be his opponent, so he was not worried that Xie Qi would encounter any danger.
Moreover, given the relationship between Xie Qi and Xie Shinian, he believed that Fang Kongyi would definitely protect Xie Qi at all costs.
However, despite this, Yu Ze still felt a little uncomfortable when Xie Qi suddenly didn't sleep with him at night. This feeling was very unfamiliar to him.
Yu Ze lay quietly on the bed with his eyes wide open, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: Getting used to this thing is really so terrible.
At this moment, although Yu Ze has not yet truly understood human emotions, the subtle habits have already bound him tightly like an invisible hand.
What I didn't realize was that the seeds of emotion often stem from habit. When a person gets used to another person's presence and every action, these habits become deeply ingrained in their minds and become the foundation of their emotions.
In this way, Yu Ze waited in Tianxuan Sect for five full days, but the two people never returned.
Not only that, whenever Yu Ze used the Void Mirror to contact them, the two of them would always say a few words in a hurry and quickly end the conversation.
Yu Ze's confusion grew. After Xie Qi spoke a few words and closed the Void Mirror again, he finally realized something was amiss. He stood up and headed towards Yao Nation without hesitation.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xie Qi frowned suspiciously, staring at Fang Kongyi and asking in confusion, "Why don't you let me chat with Master for a while longer?"
Fang Kongyi sat steadily on the bench beside the water pavilion, feeding the fish leisurely, seemingly unconcerned about Xie Qi's questioning.
He replied calmly, "Don't you realize? Your master's attitude towards you is simply out of responsibility. So, we're simply trying to put some pressure on him, forcing him to come to us."
Xie Qi: "But isn't this being indifferent to Master?"
Fang Kongyi: "I can tell you with absolute certainty that among all the people in this world who practice the Way of No Mercy, your master is the one who least understands love and is the hardest to break. So we must first let him experience what it feels like to be nervous."
As Fang Kongyi finished speaking, the prince happened to walk over from a distance. Fang Kongyi looked at the prince and whispered, "He's finally here."
Then, he threw all the remaining fish food in his hand into the lake, then quickly turned around and sat next to Xie Qi.
