Chapter 43

Both were surprised by the other.

“Why are you here?” They asked in unison. The two paused. 

“Are you okay?” They asked again at the same time, unable to hide their concern for each other.

Beitang Ao didn’t wait for Yan Feili to open his mouth again and rushed to speak first, “Didn’t I have Ling Zhu take you away? Why are you back here?”

“I can’t leave the Sect Master here alone.”

“Who can stop me in this world!” Beitang Ao grabbed him and checked his internal strength. 

“Sect Master, your wounds…” Yan Feili looked at the whipped wounds on Beitang Ao’s body and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

“I’m okay, let’s leave here first.” Beitang Ao let go of him, turned, and didn’t enter the dark corridor.

Yan Feili looked inside the door and saw two or three people lying sideways inside. Before it was too late to ask what happened, he quickly followed behind the Sect Master. As the Sect Master turned a few corridors, Yan Feili felt that this direction was the opposite of the iron prison that held him.

“Sect Master, this is…”

“There should be another exit.” Beitang Ao dropped something on the person.

As expected, the road soon widened and candles were lit on both walls. Beitang Ao grabbed Yan Feili and led him back to the narrow recessed corner he had just passed.

The dungeon was built with twists and turns and the corridor could only accommodate one person walking forward. The two were side by side, not to mention the concave corner.

“Feili, did they treat you bad these past two days?” Beitang Ao’s voice was low and passed into Yan Feili’s ears.

That breath also penetrated Yan Feili’s heart and he shuddered. Although he tried to be calm, he still couldn’t restrain his heartbeat.

“No.”

“Nonsense! What drug did they give you?” Beitang Ao asked in reproach but his tone was as soft as a lover’s whisper. 

Yan Feili lowered his head and did not answer.

“Say!” Beitang Ao almost touched his cheek.

There was nowhere to hide.

“They… Got me… Mituoxian.” 

Beitang Ao frowned and clasped his hands tightly.

“Sect Master, your wounds… ” Yan Feili knew that these skin injuries were insignificant to the Sect Master, but he was still worried that Beitang Ao would further worsen his wounds.

“Leave it alone…” Beitang Ao’s arrogant words were not exhausted.

Yan Feili panicked for a moment but then let go of his apparent worries. 

A few hours had passed since Yan Feili last saw him, yet he felt as if it had been a lifetime. He couldn’t forget the moment of heartache when he saw the Sect Master in the dungeon, the passionate kiss in the delusion, or the dangers they were about to face.

All the worries, anxiety, and heartache all turned into another deep kiss. Yan Feili grabbed him in shame until Beitang Ao put his hands into his shirt.

“Sect Master, what are you going to do?” His breath continued.

“What is this?” Beitang Ao took out a hard object from his arms. In the dark corner, Yan Feili saw that it was the rattle. Yan Feili blushed secretly. 

“I bought this for Li’er…”

Beitang Ao had understood and put the snare drum back into his arms, “He will like it very much.”

Beitang Ao embraced him again. Yan Feili was a little strange because no one had appeared for a long time. In the dark corridor, only the two of them breathe long and silent.

“Sect Master, why hasn’t anyone appeared yet?” 

“Who?” Beitang Ao’s lips and jaws rubbed Yan Feili’s cheeks, bringing a burst of numbness.

“What?” Yan Feili was stunned.

“Have you ever seen anyone?” Beitang Ao’s eyes looked like a smile.

It was only then that Yanfeili understood that he was deceived. He could not believe that the Sect Master would joke with him at this time. He had followed Beitang Ao for so many years and had never encountered a joke. Yan Feili didn’t know how to react for a while in Beitang Ao’s arms. He attempted to escape the human barrier. 

“Don’t move!” Beitang Ao stopped him and he froze.

The lower bodies of the two were pressed together, feeling exceptionally keen. Yan Feili was embarrassed, “Sect… Sect Master…”

“Feili, I ask you again, is what you said last time is true?”

Sect Master, do you remember what you said to me? Some things are broken, and they are broken. So now, I think about it. I have made up my mind to cut off this evil to you. Love, from now on, there is nothing more than to think about it!  

Yan Feili knew what he was asking, the rejection of him that day. At that time, the master also asked him whether this was the truth. He wanted to lie again, but he also wanted to tell the truth. In this situation, he couldn’t tell…

“Sect Master now is not the time to ask this, we…”

“Feili, answer me.” Beitang Ao pinched Yan Feili’s chin to prevent him from escaping, “Look into my eyes and say it again.”

Yan Feili looked at him and the initial panic in his eyes calmed down. After gritting his teeth, he finally admitted, “No… That wasn’t the truth.” 

Beitang Ao outlined a smile at the corner of his mouth, released his hand, attached it to his ear, and said, “What I said after was not true either.”

His breath came to Yan Feili’s face, and his words revealed an inexplicable taste. Yan Feili trembled all over and didn’t understand what the Sect Master meant for a while. Beitang Ao didn’t wait for him to understand, let go of him, and walked out of the concave corner.

“Ling Zhu, come out!”
