In fact, Xuan Jie's desire to go to the Fire Spirit Earthline isn't that surprising.
Cang Yu remembered that when he took Xuan Jie there for the first time, he showed quite a bit of fondness to it, but he never mentioned it after that, so Cang Yu thought he had a bit of a psychological shadow. Now these old things are brought up again, the perfect key to Cang Yu's plan. He nodded without even thinking, and responded calmly: "Throw this thing out, clean up the floor and I'll take you there tonight."
Half of the cat's body was thrown away with one swipe out, there was no telling which unlucky person it hit.
Not long after, the unlucky egg came to his door. With the stench of internal organs following his head, Chi Shuishui kicked open the fence with a stinky face and said angrily: "You bastard! Why did you leave without saying anything?!"
Qian Niang was standing on Xuan Jie's forehead, pecking his head and saying in a low voice: "Little Xuan Jie, please say something."
The two demons looked at each other, the scene was very embarrassing.
First, Chi Shuishui walked up, lifted up his hem and squatted down eye level, asking curiously: "What are you doing? Gritting your mouth?"
"Xuan Jie can talk," When Qian Niang saw Chi Shuishui she was filled with bitterness, "I don't know if this child slow, he hasn't said a word to me in who knows how many years. If he hadn't begged to enter the Fire Spirit Earthline with Cang Yu today, I wouldn't have been able to hear his voice till now. Chi Shuishui, what do you think? Is this normal? Hey— why do you stink so much!"
"Wow—" Chishui Shui marveled at first, then rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know which bastard bit one of those cats in half and threw it around, all the organs landed on my head. Once I find the bastard, I'll pull him out and hang him on a tree for three days and three nights!" Hearing this, Qian Niang's bird face twitched slightly. She pecked Xuan Jie's head guiltily, signaling for him to react, and said with a dry smile: "Yes... really?"
Xuan Jie had no reaction at all.
Seeing that something was wrong with her, Chi Shuishui asked suspiciously: "It couldn't be you, right?" He was still talking, and the two sharp teeth at the corners of his mouth were already exposed. He was just waited for Qian Niang to agree before he pounced on her and bit her.
Qian Niang said hurriedly: "I've been guarding the door every day, how can I have time to go and kill cats!"
"That's right..." Chi Shuishui thought for a while, then changed back to his original state, "You're so weak, you can't possibly kill a cat in one bite."
Qian Niang's face turned blue with anger.
Chi Shuishui bickered enough with Qian Niang, he squatted down and touched Xuan Jie happily, wondering: "Speaking of which, can Xuan Jie really speak? I've never heard him do it."
"It's true!" Qian Niang's attention was immediately diverted. She said angrily, "He suddenly ran back today and smashed through Cang Yu's door. Then, he told Cang Yu that he was going to the Fire Spirit Earthline. Cang Yu agreed."
Chi Shuishui tilted his head and thought for a moment, he felt that there seemed to be no problem, so he shrugged and sighed: "This guy is quite promising, he even dares to break down Cang Yu's door! He deserves to be my apprentice!"
"How can you react like thag!" Qian Niang was shocked.
"Then how else should I react?" Chi Shuishui asked curiously, "Since Cang Yu is with him, is there anyone else in Qingqiu who can pose a threat to them besides me?"
Qian Niang was stifled, not knowing what to say. It could only be thought that Chi Shuishui was stinky and shameless, it's best to vent it all out later, so she said grudgingly: "That's right, but will Cang Yu be around him all the time?"
It was obvious that Chi Shuishui hadn't thought about this possibility at all, he was sluggish. After a moment, he hesitated and said: "Can... he not? That's the Fire Spirit Earthline after all. It's different from the usual training. Although Xuan Jie is far better than ordinary cubs, he's still a cub after all, and Cang Yu can't be so ruthless as to..."
The two of them looked at each other and immediately thought: "He can!"
Qian Niang immediately came to a conclusion. Judging from her many years of experience following Cang Yu— in fact, she actually doesn't have much experience, Cang Yu didn't talk to her often, and his whereabouts were always uncertain. Most of the time, he was reading or going out for a walk. And she didn't have much reason to talk to Cang Yu. Firstly, she was afraid that she'd offend him by saying the wrong thing, and secondly, there was really nothing to talk about between them.
Not to mention the educational issues regarding Xuan Jie in the future. Qian Niang admitted that Cang Yu can solve various problems, but she couldn't help but feel that he was still too cold-blooded.
Qian Niang couldn't help but sigh and said: "All the foxes of Qingqiu are quite affectionate and kind, excluding that girl Chun Ge, even Tang Fu is gentle, you... can also be called enthusiastic. How did you create such an ice-like fox like Cang Yu? Could it be that he was thrown onto an iceberg by you and froze for seven or eight hundred years before coming out? Honestly speaking, it's not that he's hard to talk to, but I always feel that when he's doing something he doesn't really seem to care much at all, heartless and unfeeling."
"Although Cang Yu was cold before, it's not to point like he is now... he'd joked with me and Chun Ge," Chi Shuishui couldn't help but said, "You said he's ruthless and unfeeling, but he's still very affectionate and considerate to Rong Dan. However, he was seriously injured at that time, and that woman took the opportunity to divorce him. I guess he was frustrated, so he closed himself off until he became like this."
Cang Yu had long sensed that Chi Shuishui was coming, but he was meditating and couldn't go out, so he only listened to the conversation attentively, fearing that the class teacher Chi Shuishui's would blame him for abducting the top student. But he never could've expected that Chi Shuishui would basically ignore this, and instead helped him point out the unreasonableness of his personality over the years, which made him feel a little confused.
In fact, it's inevitable that his character design would become unreasonable. No one's character can be directly summarized with a few words. Even iceberg, cold-blooded, and poisonous tongue have their own styles and characteristics. Knowing the script doesn't mean knowing the details of each character. Doing it short-term was fine, but as time went on, they'd inevitably notice something strange. This forced Cang Yu reduce overall social interactions and wait for time to soften the blow. Even if the demons felt that something was wrong then, they wouldn't resist too much.
At least they won't hang him or burn him to death.
Now that he thought about it in hindsight, it seems to be a mistake. He could've justsaid that his temperament changed drastically due to falling out of love! How many years can he be hung up over a white moonlight? (T/N: Romantic interest, 'the one that got away')
Qian Niang sighed softly and said: "How come people in the world are like this, willing to die or live for those who don't like them back, unwilling to give time of day to those who really like them."
Chi Shuishui's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing an ambiguous smile: "Miss Qian... are you perhaps interested in Cang Yu..."
"What are you thinking about?" Qian Niang rolled her eyes, "I won't care even if all the birds in the world die. Look at Cang Yu, I think even winter isn't as cold, my feathers aren't enough to keep warm! I'm talking about Xuan Jie, he loves that woman to death, but he refuses to give Xuan Jie even a little bit of affection. Don't you think Xuan Jie is affected by this?"
Cang Yu thought: So I made him slow?
Chi Shuishui frowned and replied: "Miss Qian, Cang Yu is in love with Rong Dan and cares for Xuan Jie. It would be inappropriate to compare them."
Qian Niang was silent for a moment and said, "Why are you foxes always so entangled? Why hang up on such an insignificant trivial matter?"
"Is this an insignificant trivial matter?" Chi Shuishui's mind was full of questions, "If he has thoughts about Xuan Jie after Rong Dan, he might be crazy."
Qian Niang decided to give up communicating with him.
Xuan Jie opened his eyes and looked at the broken door, suddenly wondering: Does Cang Yu know what they're talking about.
