Who cast the One Heart spell on you?

At these words, Fu Changling turned his head and looked at his old man with an idiotic expression. "Would I still be here right now if I had managed to sneak in?"

"That's because you have no strategy." Fu Yushu took a bottle out of his pouch and waved it in front of Fu Changling's face. Fu Changling couldn't help but be stunned. "What is this?"

"The Thousand Faces Potion." Fu Yushu handed the bottle to Fu Changling, somewhat annoyed, saying, "Do you know why I brought you back? That is not the appropriate way to approach a girl. If you come up there and act like you're engrossed in her Hongmeng Heavenly Palace, won't she be scared? What's her relationship with you? Are you two even married? Only married couples can be so intrusive. You've only just met her," Fu Yushu intensified his tone, "so the process should be gradual, orderly, and progressive."

"So what do you mean by giving me this Thousand Faces Potion?" Fu Changling spoke tentatively while holding the bottle, and Fu Yushu nodded. "Exactly what you think it means-start afresh, leave a good impression."

"But it's not going to leave a good impression if I'm found out in the future, is it?" Fu Changling retorted instantly, and Fu Yushu smacked him on the head with his fan and scolded him in a low roar, "How can you be so stupid? You must first muddle through and nurture a relationship. After you've nurtured it enough, you can clarify to her that you did this because you love her, in case you're found out. By that time, the relationship between the two of you will be strong enough that when you put forth a sincere effort to apologise and make amends, everything will be resolved. If you choose not to go right now, how are you going to pursue anyone?"

Fu Yushu coldly sneered, "I'm afraid you'll be kicked out once you reach the Hongmeng Heavenly Palace's gates."

Fu Changling said nothing. Fu Yushu's prediction was way too probable. He had indeed been kicked out once.

He let out a sigh. Holding the Thousand Faces Potion, he concluded that this was indeed his only option. After some thought, he turned to Fu Yushu. "Why do you think they hate me so much?"

"That depends on what you've done to her," said Fu Yushu unequivocally. "Have you ever treated her nicely?"

"No..."

Fu Yushu showed an expression of disapproval with just this one word. "Do you have any idea what she likes?"

"Not really..."

"Do you know everything about her?"

"No clue..."

"What exactly have you done to her?"

Fu Changling fell silent. Fu Yushu propped his chin up with his hand and said lazily, "You have to tell me what you've done so that I can help you."

"I..." Fu Changling was slightly embarrassed. "First, I lied to them. At the Shangguan Estate, I shoved them forward to shield myself from the sword, and as they protected me, I fled on my own..."

Fu Yushu displayed a shocked expression on his face.

After Fu Changling had recounted the first part of the story, the rest just went smoothly. "Then they tried to kill me, and both of us were seriously injured. I took advantage of their injured condition to cast the One Heart spell on them. Then we teamed up, and it was a very pleasant process!"

"And what process was unpleasant?" Fu Yushu, with the last vestiges of hope, asked his dumb son.

Fu Changling plastered a forced smile on his face. "Then I beat them up when a Heart Demon took possession of me..."
