The morning light filtered through the carved lattice windows, casting sparse, slanting shadows on the brocade mattress.
Clothes were piled messily at the foot of the bed, retaining the remaining outlines of last night, and a few strands of long black hair were entangled in the folds, like memories that were reluctant to leave.
Xie Qi slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness still a little fuzzy, but when he reached out his hand, he instantly woke up.
Xie Qi hurriedly turned his head to look beside him, but the place where Yu Ze was supposed to be lying was empty.
Xie Qi sighed deeply, his eyes fixed on his hair, which had turned back to black. He then cast a cleansing spell and dressed neatly.
But just as he was about to get out of bed to find Yu Ze, he was suddenly attracted by the vines at the head of the bed.
The room still looked the same as yesterday. The green vines had not yet gone away, especially the vines at the head of the bed, which looked very strange.
The vines at the head of the bed were intertwined to form a sphere. There seemed to be something there that was attracting Xie Qi, as if it was some kind of blood inheritance.
So, just as Xie Qi reached out his hand, the vines that had been tightly wrapped around him just now slowly opened up, revealing what was inside.
I saw an oval seed lying quietly in a ball woven by vines.
After Xie Qi picked up the seed, the vines in the room instantly turned into a beam of light and flew into Xie Qi's mind. The next second, all the inherited memories of the existence of the Epiphyllum in this world entered his mind.
When the catastrophe of the three realms begins, the demon Tan appears in the world.
Use the soul as a boat to save all living beings from suffering.
Sacrifice yourself to mend the cracks in heaven and earth.
Break the boundaries for the common people, break the precepts for one person.
When love arises, seeds are born; double blood is used to test sincerity.
If two hearts reflect each other, the world will be filled with beauty in an instant.
If you betray each other with a single thought, the night will be filled with silence and no spring.
It is easy to break the boundary between heaven and earth, but it is difficult to break the constraints in the heart.
This is the way of heaven, and also destiny.
After Xie Qi accepted these inherited memories, he was silent for a long time. He had never expected his ending to be like this. But when he thought of Yu Ze, Xie Qi still put the seeds away.
He pushed open the door and prepared to look for Yu Ze, but Xie Qi searched the entire Qingxu Peak and couldn't find Yu Ze. Seeing this, Xie Qi realized that Yu Ze was avoiding him.
Xie Qi sat alone on a stone bench in the courtyard, his heart churning like a raging sea, unable to calm down. Various thoughts tangled in his mind, especially the memory of the sacrifice passed down from generation to generation, which left him somewhat bewildered for a moment.
If he had obtained the inherited memory earlier, he would definitely not have taken the initiative to provoke Yu Ze.
Xie Qi looked at the blue sky and took a deep breath. No matter what his final outcome would be, he still hoped to know the answer in Yu Ze's heart.
But now, Yu Ze is unwilling to face him, so Xie Qi is willing to give Yu Ze time to think.
In this way, a week passed and Yu Ze did not return to Qingxu Peak.
If Yu Ze hadn't told him where he was going and reported to Xie Qi every day that he was safe, Xie Qi would have really thought that Yu Ze had met with an accident.
At this moment, in the Demon Mountain, Fang Kongyi sat on a chair, looking Yu Ze up and down, and asked doubtfully, "Are you and your disciple really having a conflict? You've been hiding in my Demon Mountain for a week now, are you really not going back?"
"I'll be back in a few days."
"No? You don't care about Xie Qi anymore? What if Xie Qi is harmed by someone?"
"His cultivation has reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm. No one can defeat him. Once he reaches the Tribulation Crossing Stage, he will be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm."
Fang Kongyi still felt strange after hearing this and asked, "I'm curious why you are hiding from Xie Qi?"
"I have no idea…"
Fang Kongyi looked at Yu Ze's expression, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How do you feel now? Do you know what love is?"
When Yu Ze heard this, he looked a little lonely, "I don't think I can learn it."
While the two were chatting, Xie Qi, who couldn't wait any longer, arrived at the Monster Mountain. When Fang Kongyi saw Xie Qi coming in, he immediately shouted, "You're finally here. Hurry up and coax your master away. If there's any conflict, you should explain it as soon as possible."
Xie Qi walked over, his eyes fell on the man with his head lowered, but he said to Fang Kongyi: "I want to talk to my master alone."
When Fang Kongyi heard this, he immediately stood up from his chair and said, "You guys chat." After walking out of the door, Fang Kongyi considerately closed the door for them.
However, he did not leave, but leaned on the door frame to eavesdrop.
At this moment, the two of them sat facing each other in the room, seemingly too quiet. Xie Qi was the first to speak and break the deadlock, "Master, I like you, but I respect your choice. No matter what the answer is, I can accept it. I just hope you can tell me."
However, when Yu Ze heard Xie Qi confess his love to him again, his heart was no longer as calm as the first time.
On the contrary, his state of mind seemed to have undergone a subtle change, but he himself could not explain what this change meant. But he knew that he did not love the other person.
Yu Ze shook his head and said, "I don't love you. I only treat you as my apprentice."
Upon hearing this, Xie Qi pressed the issue, "Then why is Master willing to sleep with me? Why is he hiding from me?"
Yu Ze frowned slightly and explained, "You are my disciple. If I don't help you, no one can. You will die. If losing my virginity is all I need to save you, of course I am willing to do so. I am hiding from you only because you and I did something we shouldn't have done, and your feelings for me have deteriorated. I can't let you make the same mistake again, so I am hiding from you to let you calm down and give up the idea."
After hearing these words, Xie Qi did not show any sadness. Instead, he said, "Master, Fang Kongyi said that you don't understand love. You don't know what love feels like. I want to know your true thoughts. I don't want you to regret it."
