Zhang Qingyuan only heard the sound of footsteps approaching and the door opened. Two people come together. His eyes were blurry and he couldn't see after he lost his light for two years.
"Why did you come for?" Qingyuan said smiling sadly. "You killed everyone in the Peach Sect and you still act like you're innocent." Jiang Ling said angrily.
"What did you do to Shizun that made him defend you?! He even refused to take the medicine that Li Qiao made!" Lan Feiyu said angrily. “Keep Li Qiao away from Shizun!” Qingyuan shouted angrily.
A year after Qingyuan was locked up, he didn't show any emotion at all until this time he was angry. "What right do you have to be angry?! You're the one who harmed everyone!!" Jiang Ling shouted angrily.
...Zhang Qingyuan ...
Qingyuan suddenly spat blood out of his mouth. Qingyuan's face grew paler before he laughed sadly. Lan Feiyu and Jiang Ling were shocked. "You two are useless." Qingyuan said before he used his remaining strength and crushed his own heart.
Everything happened quickly. Lan Feiyu and Jiang Ling did not manage to stop him. The sky suddenly changed. Black clouds appeared and lightning struck.
Lan Feiyu and Jiang Ling immediately came out and stared at the direction where the lightning had struck. That was the residence of Qi Rong, their Shizun. The two immediately headed there.
The door was forced open by Lan Feiyu and Jiang Ling. Li Qiao fell on the floor quite a distance. "Murderer!" Qi Rong shouted angrily when he saw Jiang Ling and Lan Feiyu.
Qi Rong's mouth still had blood remaining. "Aren't you taking any more medicine?" Jiang Ling asked worriedly. "Don't you guys want to know the truth? I'll tell you!" Qi Rong said angrily.
"Don't listen to him! He will lie to you!" Li Qiao said panicked. Qi Rong moved his hand and Li Qiao was thrown out of it.
"You think your heart will be fine because Li Qiao made you medicine? Your heart is not eroded by darkness because Qingyuan sacrificed the light from his eyes to help you." Qi Rong said angrily.
"Don't lie to us. It's clear that Li Qiao is by our side taking care of us both." Jiang Ling said in disbelief. "The funniest thing is, after giving you his light he was in a coma for a week. For Nine Tail Fox, the light from their eyes is the most precious treasure. But he gave it to both of you!" Qi Rong said angrily.
"No matter what, he killed everyone in the Peach Sect and injured you like this! Why are you still defending him?!" Jiang Ling said annoyed that Qi Rong was still defending Qingyuan.
"My wound? My wound was caused by the woman you trusted. She poisoned my food and drink. Even the medicine given to me was also poison to me. A Yuan committed suicide. Because he thought that by committing suicide his pearl would heal me more fast. He could tell I was hurt. But what are you guys doing?!" Qi Rong shouted angrily.
"He clearly attacked you from behind." Lan Feiyu said disapprovingly while Jiang Ling seemed to be thinking about something. "In my body there is a seal, this seal locking my strength also seals my identity. He gave me a pearl to protect me. But my body was too weak so I vomited blood when you guys entered and the seal couldn't be opened!" Qi Rong said hatefully.
"The thing I regret most in my life is meeting you two! You murderers! You two will never find happiness!" Cursed Qi Rong before killing himself.
Lan Feiyu and Jiang Ling fell silent in shock. Qi Rong died in front of them. The rain fell heavily as if weeping for the two people who died on the same day.
Lan Feiyu and Jiang Ling's vision suddenly darkened and everything became silent.
...Lan Feiyu ...
When Lan Feiyu opened his eyes again. He was kneeling in front of the courtyard hall of the Jade Mansion. Lan Feiyu looked confused himself. "What happened?" Lan Feiyu muttered confusedly.
Qingyuan heard a murmur from Lan Feiyu and stopped before squatting down. "Did you forget? You were punished by Shizun to kneel because of Li Qiao." Qingyuan explained.
...Zhang Qingyuan ...
"A Yuan?" Lan Feiyu muttered in surprise. Qingyuan knocked Lan Feiyu on the forehead. "No manners. Call me shixiong!" Qingyuan grumbled.
Lan Feiyu nodded. "You stop eating whatever Li Qiao gives you! You'll hurt yourself." Qingyuan said sighing. "Why do you say that?" Lan Feiyu asked a little suspiciously.
"Why? This is the third punishment. The woman wanted to try poison on you and you drank it. You could die if you continue like that." Qingyuan said annoyed. "I..." Lan Feiyu said at a loss for words.
"Shizun told you not to move so that the poison wouldn't move faster. He did it for you. I'll go first." Qingyuan said smiling. "Where are you going?" Lan Feiyu asked. "I want to hear Shizun scold that useless woman." Qingyuan said happily.
"Can you take me?" Lan Feiyu asked. Qingyuan locked several acupoints. "Stand up." Qingyuan said standing up. Qingyuan left and Lan Feiyu followed.
@main hall
"How many times have I told you?! Don't use my disciple as experimental material! Are you deaf!!" Qi Rong shouted angrily. "I am wrong." Li Qiao said with a guilty face.
"Qi shixiong, never mind. She knows she's wrong." Meng Zhen said. "You?!" Qi Rong said at a loss for words. Qi Rong was always gentle when he met his shimei, Meng Zhen. "You guys go." Qi Rong said in surrender.
Qingyuan and Lan Feiyu who were quietly listening were quite shocked. Qingyuan pulled Lan Feiyu and ran away quickly. Lan Feiyu knelt back in his original position when Meng Zhen and Li Qiao passed by.
When they left, Qingyuan who was hiding in the tree came down and approached Lan Feiyu. Qingyuan handed Feiyu a medicine bottle. "What's this?" Feiyu asked receiving the bottle.
"Antidote." Qingyuan said casually. "Where did you get it?" Lan Feiyu asked confusedly. "Two days ago, I went to look for Meng Shigu to ask for an antidote." Qingyuan said scratching the back of his neck which was not itchy.
"What for?" Lan Feiyu asked suspiciously. "I have to go down the mountain in a few days so I need that. You can use it. I still have another bottle." Qingyuan said casually.
Qingyuan fell to the floor as a result of being hit or hugged, and Qingyuan didn't even know what that person meant. "Jiang Ling! Get out of my body!" Qingyuan said angrily.
...Jiang Ling ...
Jiang Ling tightened his embrace. "What are you doing?" Qi Rong asked coming over. "Why have you come?" Qingyuan asked. "Of course give medicine to Feiyu." Qi Rong said holding out the medicine bottle for Feiyu.
...Qi Rong ...
Feiyu accepted it. Qi Rong was silent seeing that Feiyu had another bottle. Qingyuan immediately stood up and after getting rid of Jiang Ling. Then take the medicine bottle back.
"Why?" Lan Feiyu asked confusedly. "Shizun's is better. I'll take mine back." Qingyuan said happily. "How are your preparations?" Qi Rong asked smiling.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Ling asked sourly. "None of your business." Qingyuan said sticking out his tongue before leaving. Qi Rong shook his head.
"Take the medicine." Qi Rong said looking at Lan Feiyu. Lan Feiyu complied and took the medicine. Qi Rong smiled. "You two go back to your rooms and rest." Qi Rong said before leaving. Jiang Ling looked at Lan Feiyu seriously.
"Are you too?" Jiang Ling asked. As if understanding Jiang Ling's meaning. Lan Feiyu nodded his head.
[Shi gu: Martial Aunt]
"When are you arriving?" Jiang Ling asked. "This evening. How about you?" Lan Feiyu asked. "Same as you. What actually happened?" Jiang Ling asked. "Perhaps this has something to do with the light that Qingyuan provides to protect our hearts." Lan Feiyu explained.
"Why do you know me?" Lan Feiyu asked. "I remember, you didn't take the pills Shizun gave you because you were angry with Shizun. This time you took them so you're different." Jiang Ling explained.
Both of them fell silent. These few days, Qingyuan was so busy that even Lan Feiyu and Jiang Ling found no trace of Qingyuan at all. Lan Feiyu avoided Li Qiao with Jiang Ling's help.
@Qi Rong residence
"Shizun, why summoned me?" Qingyuan asked confused. "I will take you away." Qi Rong said suddenly. "Why?" Qingyuan asked suspiciously.
"You listen to me. Don't ask, I'm doing this for your safety." Qi Rong said seriously. "Were you thrown back in time too, Your Highness Prince?" Qingyuan asked seriously.
Qi Rong was shocked. "Are you too?" Qi Rong asked in surprise. "Shizun, it's not their fault. You and I know, it all started with a misunderstanding. They can change now." Qingyuan explained.
Before Qi Rong spoke, Qingyuan interrupted him. "Shizun, they are good people who were used by Li Qiao. You must know Li Qiao is not human." Qingyuan said. Qi Rong sighed.
"What about your body?" Qi Rong asked. "The pearl has returned to my body, it's just a little cracked. It will recover in a few days." Qingyuan said smiling.
Qi Rong's eyes widened when he saw blood flowed from Qingyuan's eyes. "A Yuan?!" Qi Rong shouted, immediately approaching Qingyuan. The door was forced open from the outside. "Shixiong." Lan Feiyu and Jiang Ling said in panic.
"I'm not dead yet." Qingyuan said irritated by the behavior of these three people. Jiang Ling wordlessly lifted Qingyuan's body. "Let me down!" Qingyuan ordered annoyed.
"Where are you taking him?" Qi Rong asked panicked. “Shizun, of course take him to see Meng Shigu.” Lan Feiyu said standing up. "Can't." Qi Rong said annoyed.
"I have medicine so put me down. Meng Shigu doesn't have medicine for that." Qingyuan said calmly. "I'll take you to your room." Jiang Ling said before leaving. Having no choice Qi Rong and Lan Feiyu followed Jiang Ling.
@Qingyuan room
Qingyuan sat up on the bed after hitting Jiang Ling on the head because Jiang Ling forcing him to lie down. Now Jiang Ling was sullen and annoyed. "Have you seen a healer?" Qi Rong asked worriedly.
"Yes, he said I should go back." Qingyuan said. "I will keep you company." Jiang Ling said. "Shizun, I also want to accompany Shixiong." Lan Feiyu said looking at Qi Rong. "We will bring A Yuan back." Qi Rong said.
Qingyuan looked at the three in disbelief. "Shizun, are you crazy?" Qingyuan asked in protest. "Shouldn't you break the seal on mine? That's all." Qi Rong said casually. Qingyuan looked even more confused when he looked at Qi Rong.
"What seal?" Jiang Ling asked confusedly. "I'll be honest with you. Your Shixiong is not human, he is a nine-tailed fox." Qi Rong said casually. "Shizun!" Qingyuan said annoyed.
"Honestly it's better isn't it?" Qi Rong said casually. "Really? Can I see your tail?" Jiang Ling asked with a curious face. Qingyuan took out his nine tails. "Very beautiful." Jiang Ling said coming closer and stroking Qingyuan's tail.
Qingyuan's face turned red and bit his lower lip. "Stop it! The tail is a sensitive part." Qi Rong protested. Jiang Ling stepped back in disappointment. "Why don't you react?" Qingyuan asked confusedly looking at Lan Feiyu.
"I don't find it strange. Since Shizun brought you to the Peach Sect it means you're not dangerous." Lan Feiyu said indifferently. "But I'm more curious. Shizun, are you the same as Shixiong?" Lan Feiyu asked curiously.
Qingyuan held back his laughter and kept his snow-white tail back. Qi Rong cleared his throat awkwardly. "Remember to admire Shizun's tail later." Qingyuan said happily.
Qi Rong dead-glared Qingyuan. "Will your eyes be okay?" Jiang Ling asked suddenly. Qingyuan nodded.
"You guys go rest. I will look after A Yuan." Qi Rong said. Having no choice, the two left. "Look, they are very good. As long as you keep them away from Li Qiao, there won't be any problems." Qingyuan explained. Qi Rong still had doubts but didn't say anything.
"Your Highness Prince, you can't take them to Flower Land. After I break your seal, you have to take them somewhere else." Qingyuan explained.
"I'm curious, why can't I remember my past?" Qi Rong asked. "Because you drank water from the river of forgetfulness. Then someone sealed your strength making you an ordinary person but the seal wasn't completely perfect so you could become a cultivator." Qingyuan explained.
"But why do you have to handle this problem yourself? You are also a prince with the potential to become crown prince." Qi Rong said confusedly.
"Because of marriage." Qingyuan said honestly. "Marriage?" Qi Rong asked confusedly. "Who?!" Said Qingyuan came out but didn't find anyone.
Qingyuan came back and looked at Qi Rong. "That's right, it wasn't because of the marriage that I wouldn't have come here to look for you." Qingyuan said smiling sweetly.
@Lan Feiyu's room
"What do they mean about marriage? Are they getting married?" Jiang Ling asked disapprovingly. "Don't think about it. We don't know what Qingyuan means. Plus I think Shizun is quite suspicious." Lan Feiyu said worriedly.
Jiang Ling sat down and nodded in agreement. "He looked at us with eyes full of hatred. He told us Qingyuan's identity to test our reaction to Qingyuan. Could it be that he is also the same as us?" Jiang Ling asked.
"We have to be careful. If he's anything like us, chances are he won't let us both go." Feiyu replied. Jiang Ling agreed. "Qingyuan's eyes are bleeding, does it have something to do with him losing the light from his eyes?" Jiang Ling asked.
"Probably yes. I think he went down the mountain because of this too." Lan Feiyu said. Both of them were silent for a long time.
#the next day
Qingyuan woke up and found his body very heavy. "Jiang Ling, get off my body!" Qingyuan said annoyed. "Don't want to." Jiang Ling refused. Jiang Ling used his whole body to press against Qingyuan's body.
"You're so heavy. Do you want to kill me?" Qingyuan grumbled irritably. "Just leave him alone. When he woke up, he ran here and hugged you tightly. When asked by Shizun, he said that he had a nightmare. You committed suicide in front of him. His eyes were very red from crying." Lan Feiyu said.
"I'm still alive. Why would I kill myself? Feiyu, help me get rid of him." Qingyuan said awkwardly. "We tried our best. He won't let go of you." Qi Rong said coming in.
"You want to starve your Shixiong to death then you can hug him until tomorrow." Qi Rong said flatly before pulling Lan Feiyu out.
@dining table
Qingyuan rolled his eyes lazily. How come? Jiang Ling forced Qingyuan to sit on Jiang Ling's lap. Qi Rong held back a laugh.
Qingyuan smiled at Qi Rong's laughing face. Unaware that someone was looking at Qingyuan with jealous eyes. Qingyuan looked at Lan Feiyu and found Lan Feiyu eating silently.
'Is it just me?' Qingyuan thought confusedly. Qingyuan sensed a killing aura from Feiyu's direction. Qingyuan was finally able to escape from Jiang Ling. Night came quickly.
@back hill
"How is your investigation going?" Qingyuan asked. "Your Highness Prince, there is someone who seems to be collaborating with the people from Crystal Lake. Just haven't found the traitor. Crown Prince Qi hasn't found him either. Then the Crown Prince wants to see you." Qingyuan's subordinate named Mu Ying answered.
"I know." Qingyuan said calmly. "Are your eyes okay?" Mu Ying asked worriedly. "I'm fine." Qingyuan said calmly. "You are the hope of the Nine Tail Fox. You must not get hurt." Mu Ying said sadly.
"Stop, worrying too much. After my business is finished, I will return to my place." Qingyuan replied. "Are you leaving?" Jiang Ling asked suddenly. Qingyuan was shocked to see Jiang Ling.
Mu Ying immediately became alert. "He's my friend. You can go." Qingyuan said. Mu Ying immediately left there. "Everyone else is leaving. I'm the same way." Qingyuan said calmly.
"You can't go." Said Jiang Ling didn't like it. "You won't be able to stop me. You know that too." Qingyuan said indifferently. "Now I still can." Jiang Ling said approaching Qingyuan.
Qingyuan's body was squeezed between the tree and Jiang Ling's body. "Your body is quite weak now. You are not my opponent." Jiang Ling said annoyed. Qingyuan tried to free himself and unfortunately Qingyuan's strength was too weak to fight, plus his pearl was cracked. He was no more than an ordinary human now.
Qingyuan's clothes were quite messy. "Are you crazy?!" Qingyuan said irritably between moans. "I've gone crazy because of you. The thought of you going back and marrying someone else makes me angry." Jiang Ling said speeding up his movements.
"You were eavesdropping on our conversation! Since when have you been eavesdropping?!" Qingyuan said annoyed. "Since Shizun asked you why someone like you was interfering in their affairs. Are you afraid of me hearing everything?" Jiang Ling quipped. Jiang Ling accelerated his movements even more. "Otherwise how would I know, you would marry someone else." Jiang Ling said angrily and accelerated his movements even more.
Qingyuan squeezed Jiang Ling's shoulder hard. "You're crazy!" Qingyuan said angrily between moans. The full moon night was a silent witness to the activities of the two.
Originally today, the four of them were going to leave but Qingyuan didn't wake up from his sleep. Qi Rong looked worried.
"What did you do last night?" Lan Feiyu asked suspiciously. Jiang Ling fell silent. "You?! Are you crazy?!" Lan Feiyu said irritably. "Back when you were drunk, didn't you do that and you also knew the consequences. At that time, his body was still quite strong, but now his body is very weak." Lan Feiyu added annoyed.
"I also didn't know that his body was so weak. I just didn't want to lose him." Jiang Ling said sadly. "You know what can wake him up. I will take Shizun away for a while." Lan Feiyu said before leaving.
As promised, Lan Feiyu pulled Qi Rong along with him. Jiang Ling approached Qingyuan and kissed him briefly on the lips. Qingyuan slowly woke up and looked at Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling immediately hugged Qingyuan tightly. Qingyuan, who initially wanted to be angry, melted because Jiang Ling cried on his shoulder.
When Qi Rong and Lan Feiyu came back. Qingyuan had finished packing and the four of them left. Qi Rong and Qingyuan got on the carriage and Lan Feiyu and Jiang Ling got on the horse.
Qi Rong asked why Qingyuan didn't wake up this morning but Qingyuan only answered with a smile. "Then why did you suddenly wake up?" Qi Rong asked suspiciously. "Jiang Ling channeled spiritual energy into my body." Qingyuan replied casually.
"I did too. But you didn't wake up." Qi Rong protested. Qingyuan just smiled. For Nine Tail Fox, the full moon was an important day and that important day was taken arbitrarily by young master Jiang Ling.
Qingyuan didn't know whether to be angry or cry. For Nine Tail Fox a partner was very important and his current partner was Jiang Ling. He could understand that Jiang Ling didn't know those rules. But his heart still felt annoyed.
"I feel like Qingyuan's mood is quite bad. You're too hasty. He once told you this. Why are you still doing it?" Lan Feiyu grumbled at Jiang Ling.
"I'm just scared, he left me again. I know I shouldn't do that but I..." Jiang Ling said at a loss for words. In the past life, a week after Qingyuan was locked up.
Jiang Ling got drunk and broke into the room where Qingyuan was locked up. It was a full moon night and Jiang Ling also did this to Qingyuan. Qingyuan couldn't get up at that time either. Lan Feiyu returned to the Demon Realm and search the library.
Lan Feiyu found channeling spiritual energy into Qingyuan's body to be useful. Lan Feiyu went to try it but couldn't and finally when Jiang Ling tried it it worked after channeling it from the mouth.
When Qingyuan woke up at that time, he sighed and explained what happened when Lan Feiyu asked Qingyuan. Qingyuan and Jiang Ling are tied to each other.
"What about you? I can feel it. You like Shizun." Jiang Ling said. "I'll start slowly. If i do it like you. Then I wouldn't even have a chance." Lan Feiyu said mockingly.
During the journey, Qingyuan always fell asleep. In a simple house on the edge of town, Qingyuan opened his eyes and went inside. The barrier in the house disappeared in an instant and Qingyuan's face was healthier than usual.
Qingyuan smiled and the coachman left quickly. "Come in." Qingyuan said smiling. Qi Rong, Jiang Ling and Lan Feiyu looked at each other before complying.
Qingyuan immediately broke Qi Rong's seal as soon as Qi Rong just sat down. In an instant the seal opened and a mouthful of blood came out of Qi Rong's mouth. "Go clean yourself. Behind the house is a waterfall. Feiyu, you can come with Shizun. I have something I want to discuss with Jiang Ling." Qingyuan said.
Lan Feiyu nodded and pulled Qi Rong away before Qi Rong could protest. "I know, you don't know the rules of our world. I've found a way to break the bonds created. Don't worry, I won't harm you." Qingyuan explained.
"Do you hate me that much?" Jiang Ling asked sadly. "I have a fiancé." Qingyuan said. "I know. That's Shizun." Jiang Ling said sadly. "You're wrong. Because the wedding I'm referring to is the wedding of Crown Prince Qi and my sister, Zhang Yiran, a princess." Qingyuan replied smiling.
"My fiancee is a princess, possibly in the future. She will also be Queen like her mother." Qingyuan said smiling. Jiang Ling fell silent. The smile on Qingyuan's face seemed to burn Jiang Ling's heart. Jiang Ling didn't like Qingyuan smiling because of others.
"When I find the necessary items. I'll let you know. You can go with the others." Qingyuan said. "How about you?" Jiang Ling asked. "I need to meditate." Qingyuan said smiling. Jiang Ling left with a gloomy face.
@Waterfall
Jiang Ling was silent looking at Qi Rong's dragon tail coming out. "So pretty." Jiang Ling muttered. "Is it finished?" Qi Rong asked. Jiang Ling nodded listlessly. Qi Rong looked at Jiang Ling confused. That night Qingyuan left without saying goodbye.
When he woke up the next day, Qi Rong was faced with several people Qi Rong did not know. "Your Highness Prince, come with us home." The person said it sincerely.
"Who are you?" Qi Rong asked suspiciously. "Did you forget me?" The person asked back with a shocked face. Lan Feiyu and Jiang Ling looked alert. "I am your servant, Your Highness the Prince." the man said sadly.
"I don't know you. Please go out." Qi Rong said chasing them away. "Don't you feel sorry for His Majesty the King who is sick?" The man said again in a sad tone.
"What's wrong with my father?" Qi Rong asked worriedly. "If you come with me then..." the man was interrupted by Jiang Ling. Lan Feiyu pulled Qi Rong behind him.
"How do you prove you're from Crystal Lake?" Jiang Ling asked flatly. "I know..." Lan Feiyu interrupted the man's words again.
"Many people know His Highness the Prince, but that can't prove that you are from Crystal Lake." Lan Feiyu said coldly. "You're just an ordinary human. What do you know about our world? Move or I'll kill you?!" Threatened the man.
"Your guts are big enough to kill my beloved little brother!" A voice sounded quite thunderous. Suddenly a strong wind blew the man and his entourage away.
