Lei Zhen closed his eyes and smiled bitterly. He recalled his past life. The moments, before the enormous battle.
Lei Zhen was already exhausted from plays. He was heavily injured when he came into Feng Yi's bedchamber.
Feng Yi was lying in bed, half-naked, the white jade body full of bruises and lust marks. There were some whip marks on his body and blood-clotted injuries. His breathing was weak. He opened his eyes weakly and looked at his discipline with grievances in his eyes.
When Lei Zhen looked at him, he became mad again" Feng Yi, look what your beloved discipline did. He came to rescue you, but you are under my control, a living corpse" he laughed and cried loudly.
"I will kill them all in front of you today, today is your birthday, right Feng Yi? I will give you a big surprise"
Feng Yi didn't have any strength in his body. His knees were hurting, his waist was sore, and he used his all strength just to touch Lei Zhen one last time. But his hands were suspended in the air.
Lei Zhen looked at his hands and his eye color changed. The black pitch eyes merged with a yellow sinister glow. His whole body is covered with demonic patterns. He used his strength and broke his hand with a "crack" but Feng Yi didn't make a sound nor did he cry. He just looked at his evil discipline.
Lei Zhen removed his shackles and soul-binding rope which was bound to his left wrist.
He laughed "Feng Yi, you are free and you know what will I do?"
Lei Zhen snapped open his eyes. He doesn't want to remember his past anymore. But there was a sinister smile on his face. He felt like whatever he had done with his shizun in the past, his shizun, Feng Yi deserved it.
But his smile froze, he thought that this illusion would fade as well, but he saw Feng Yi's robes stained with blood slowly walking toward him.
He heard him say "Lei Zhen! Just a bit long"
He was stunned, his painful blurry eyes could clearly see Feng Yi coming towards him. This is not an illusion, this, he wide opened his eyes.
Why would Feng Yi want to save me? He had a chance to save himself. Then why? He was confused.
Feng Yi looked at his discipline. When Lei Zhen shouted, "Be careful" he already knew there was something behind him. But that attack was not on Feng Yi but on Lei Zhen.
But in the darkness, a room full of black-grey demonic mist, there was a sudden sound of the blade coming toward Lei Zhen. Feng Yi noticed it and ran toward Lei Zhen. Before the blade can touch Lei Zhen, it passes through Feng Yi's shoulder. The blood drips down and he loses his footing.
When Lei Zhen saw this scene, his mind went blank, and he subconsciously called out "Shizun!"
Feng Yi heard him and crawled towards him. He wanted to save him. "Don't worry," he said weakly but Lei Zhen clearly heard it.
It is fake, this is not true, Feng Yi will never save me. He wanted me to die but why there is pain in his eyes? Am I seeing things?
Lei Zhen doesn't want to believe in all those scenes in front of him. He wanted this so-called illusion to break. His spiritual powers were leaking out from his body. He felt exhausted and vomited a full mouth of blood again. But this time, it was dark black blood. His red lips were stained with black blood.
Finally, Feng Yi reached out and used his sleeve to clean the blood from dripping from his mouth " Hold on, I will save you"
Lei Zhen closely looked at his shizun, who was using a spell to remove these ropes. When the ropes were removed, Lei Zhen touched Feng Yi's skin. It's not fake, this is Feng Yi and his master.
Feng Yi lost his conscious, he weakly lay down on Lei Zhen. Lei Zhen tightly wrapped his arms around Feng Yi's waist.
He looked around and the demon Queen came out "Oh! So you are awake" she laughed.
"He will die in your arms, how can you save him?"
When Lei Zhen heard it, he clenched his fist and looked at her.
She got scared of those looks but maintained her posture and said "If you wanted to save him, I'm afraid it is too late now"
Lei Zhen "Let's talk"
After a short period of time, the demonic queen was beheaded and the illusion was broken. But Feng Yi was still unconscious. He lifted him vertically, but he was still a kid only sixteen years old. Even though Feng Yi's body was thin, Lei Zhen was not thirty years old, his body was not strong enough to lift him.
When reached the waterfall, all the demons that were howling in the air vanished. The barrier, Feng Yi made also became weak and slowly faded.
An Huan and An Zhi were standing together waiting for them. They already talked with Mr. Ming and collected their fee from them.
Just waiting for their shizun and Lei Zhen to come out.
When they saw both of them together from afar they were overjoyed. But when they looked closely their joy faded away and both of them ran towards them.
Lei Zhen told them a little bit of everything and said they would find an inn first for rest. When shizun awakes, they will go sector together. But An Huan and An Zhi have to inform the sector leader about this event.
So they bid farewell after finding an inn. Lei Zhen only booked one room and went inside with his Shizun in his arms.
Lei Zhen asked the inn owner for a warm water basin and clothes. He already had enough pills with him. Firstly, he started to remove his Shizun clothes.
When he removed Feng Yi's robe layer by layer. He saw the wounds but his eyes were hurting at the same time. He can clearly see how much blood, Feng Yi has shed for him.
He hated him but still didn't want to owe anything to him. He sterilizes the knife in a candle and uses it to remove the clot of blood.
Feng Yi could feel the pain but he did not make any sound. Lei Zhen carefully applied the salve and dressed his shizun wounds. He used a clean towel and cleaned the body thoroughly.
He heads towards the kitchen and according to the prescription he made the antidote. After a while, he went to the room and carefully fed it. But Feng Yi hates bitter medicines. He pressed his lips together, not wanting to drink the bitter medicine.
Lei Zhen already has enough patience, so he coaxed him to drink. And used sweet candy in the end to suppress the bitterness in his throat.
Due to the candlelight, Lei Zhen's head and eyes start to hurt again. His spiritual powers were not enough. He closed his eyes to think about those scenes when Feng Yi came over to help him. He wanted those things but he knew when in the end he would not be mine then what's the point of those things to me?
At least I will not owe him anything, I will repay all his kindness but when he will kick me down the mountain. I will not take revenge on him but live a happy life.
He already made up his mind, he didn't want to kill anyone nor did he want anything from them. His home is not here, soon he will go back to his home.
Lei Zhen asked Feng Yi "Why did you save me?"
" I know you wanted to kill me so desperately but then why?"
" Even you hurt yourself for me?"
"Feng Yi, I don't want your pity, I don't want to owe you anything. So better next time, don't do anything silly like today"
But Feng Yi can not hear his evil discipline description of the series. He can not hear the fake grievances he holds.
Lei Zhen gave some of his spiritual powers, he already felt exhausted due to the poison attack then took care of him. He was half kneeling in front of Feng Yi and holding his hand to give him some of the spiritual power.
Feng Yi was not a weak person. But the demonic blade which was used against him was too powerful that he lost consciousness.
Soon Lei Zhen's eyes started to bleed. He falls asleep in that position. His head was on the bed, and while holding his hand he was kneeling in front of Feng Yi.
Feng Yi's eyes trembled. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar bed. The room was cold. He felt like something warm was holding his hands when he looked down, he saw Lei Zhen.
Lei Zhen didn't notice that Feng Yi was awake. He was still fast asleep soundly.
Feng Yi slowly removed his hand with the help of his other hand and sat down in bed. He doesn't feel any pain anymore. But there was a slight discomfort in his shoulder.
He silently looked at his neat clothes and his body which was carefully and neatly bandaged. The room is full of the smell of medications. The knife, bowl, and some candies were placed near the wooden table.
He can already guess that Lei Zhen did all of this but he doesn't know about the Queen. How they came out from that place. Did Lei Zhen kill her or did she run away?
He carefully looked at the youth in front of him whose eyes were bleeding. Feng Yi checked his outer robe and took out a small white bottle there was a leaf imprint on it. He took one antidote from the bottle and carefully fed him.
Lei Zhen can feel a smooth cold touch near his lips. He felt comfortable and opened his mouth to eat. The tip of his tongue touched the finger of Feng Yi.
Feng Yi felt a tingling warm sensation on his finger. His hands trembled slightly and a surge of heat from him covered his body even covering the initial coldness.
After a moment, he used his handkerchief to clean his eyes at that moment Lei Zhen was also awake. He saw his shizun hands holding a handkerchief.
When Feng Yi saw him, he didn't want to lose his face and became cold again "Since you are awake, clean your eyes" he gave him his hankie.
When Lei Zhen saw this " No need I will go and clean myself" After saying this he left the room.
Feng Yi watched him disappear. He was a little disappointed and angry about himself. Why he did not control. He felt humiliated but he could not do anything about it.
He clearly knows that Lei Zhen doesn't love me. He only sees me as his master, his elder. But when he did so many things for him his heart melted and subconsciously he gave him his hankie.
He still remembers when he first time joined the sector, the youth was only thirteen years old and ran away from the sector and lost his way.
Feng Yi that time standing on top of the mountain, his white robes fluttered in the air, he was holding a white-silver flute near his mouth. The sound of the flute echoed and the young boy suddenly came to his sight.
He was panting near the tree and looking at him with joy. When he finished the song "Who are you" the first question the young man in yellow robes asked.
Feng Yi naturally ignored him. His nature was cold from the start but the young boy didn't stop asking the questions.
"You are so beautiful like an immortal"
He said with a happy expression, the voice was childish but the eyes of the young boy shone like a group of stars.
" I really like you"
This time Feng Yi was indeed irate. He was about to smack him for using such speech with their elders. But the young boy did not notice or might have ignored and came forward to touch his flute. "This is really beautiful like you"
He used the "Like" word so many times. But all of a sudden sector leader came forward. " ah! Zhen'Ed so you are here, you evil child" he said cheerfully and noticed the murderous aura on Feng Yi.
He said "Ah! Elder Yi, this is my only nephew. He is naughty and doesn't know how to speak if he makes you angry I will ask him to apologize"
Feng Yi was silent and looked at the youth in front of him. But when Lei Zhen heard it, he showed a gentle small smile. That smile was so beautiful, it was almost breathtaking.
Feng Yi "Which Elder discipline are you?"
He already knows all of these elders. They were friends with each other. But the youth's reply made him speechless.
"You are an elder right, I don't have any master. I am currently studying on my own. I don't like any elder here but I like you. Uncle I want him as my master"
He showed a pity gentle smile to his uncle. But his uncle knows that the person he likes and chooses is none other than the cold beauty wildly known as Elder Yi in the whole cultivation world.
He asked him again "Are you sure, how can you choose someone based on his looks?"
The young boy said with a smile" I don't judge from covers"
His wise decision made his uncle speechless as well as Feng Yi.
He was in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, he saw a door suddenly open 'Bang' Lei Zhen was holding a wooden tray. In which there were noodles without chili oil and two runny yolk eggs. The scallions were placed on top with some garlic cubes.
This is the favorite food of Feng Yi, that no one knows. He looked at the youth and then at the tray "Master, eat this and rest well. We will leave for the sector, tomorrow morning."
Feng Yi made a 'hm' sound and ate quietly. Then he noticed Lei Zhen using a white thick ribbon to cover his eyes and said "I can not see anymore so I'm using this to cover my red eyes"
When Feng Yi heard this, his heart felt an ache. He thought might I be the reason. He checked his pulse. This can be cured and signed with ease. They ate and slept one in bed and the other on the floor.
