Yuanfen

Meeting

Shen yuan, the soul that transmigrated, originally had an un-affectionate personality when it came to people. Even his own family, he often stayed strayed outside the bounds of needless affection.

When he transmigrated over, Qingqiu met a pure boy who had trusted him with his entire being. The same pure boy believed in him, despite the body's original owner abuse and plots against him.

Whether it was romantic or just adoration at first, it did not matter in the present. They both went through thick and thin, death and rebirth. How their love began, or how it transformed, had not matter to either of the two.

Thinking back about how distant he was with his original family, Shen yuan often thought about the reason behind his heart reaching out for binghe.

Was it because he was forced?

That tied into it.

Was it because the boy was pitiful?

Not really, I have seen many pitiful children and adults in both of the worlds I've been in.

Or was it because I could see myself in him sometimes? Struggling to find himself, hoping to gain acknowledgment?

If I said no, then I'd be lying.

Although he continued to question the reason behind his feelings escalating for a while, he figured why question what started his feelings for binghe. They already confirmed their feelings for each other, so why plant the seed of doubt after they have traveled so far ahead into life.

Thus he decided to be open with sharing his feelings for binghe, although there are things he will hold back on due to embarrassment.

Stroking binghe's curly, soft, and silky hair, Shen Qingqiu remained in the fog bubble for quite awhile.

He let the emotional puppy indulge himself for a bit, since he (BH) has to control his (BH)'frustration' for a while.

An incense stick worth of time had passed before shen qingqiu pried the reluctant binghe from his body, with the condition that they will still hold hands.

Once they entered the office, Yue Qingyuan quickly began their small meeting without questioning their tardiness.

Several elders were doing their monthly energy inspection across the plains. Yesterday, a large concentrated disturbance was detected in the former huan hua palace. The elders attempted to create a portal to the palace to inspect the disturbance, but none of the portals were successful.

Thus they could only make haste by using a portal to a town about thirty kilometers from the huan hua palace then use their spiritual swords to make their way over.

Yet, by the time they arrived, the sun had already set and no traces of any misplacement occurred aside from some blood splatter in a room.

"Sect leader, I went to the Huan hua palace yesterday to pick up binghe. I did not detect any disturbance when I went, is it possible that the elders..."

To give the unmentioned elders face, Qingqiu did not finish his sentence aloud but everyone understood the meaning perfectly.

Qingyuan spoke, breaking the silence,
"Perhaps you may be right, however, if you could indulge my curiosity. Why was there blood splatters present in one of the rooms in your Dao partners' palace?"

Qingqiu detected a small falteration in binghe's aura, a fleeting falteration.

"Binghe had finished up some personal issues, the collaboration with the demonic ruler, Mobei-jun."

Finishing his small explanation, a tightening sensation occurred in the hand that was encased by binghe's hand.

Then a small whisper, so soft that Qingqiu could barely capture the sound.

"So different."

Qingqiu felt concerned, the fluctuation from earlier and what binghe said raised some worrying flags.

Bing-ge on the other hand was thinking of something else.

Normally the portals he made always went undetected, yet the portal he made when he first arrived caused such a large disturbance.

[ The detection was due to the
inter-dimensional portal you made. Due to the portal affecting both dimensions tremendously, naturally it cannot go undetected.]

Bing-ge understood the explanation, but asked the system if that question used up his daily question.

[ Negative, the daily question can only be used up on a question you ask me specifically and if I get a confirmation from the host to use up the daily question.]

Bing-ge felt relieved for a second, but then he heard the sect leader saying that the demonic leader was not himself but his subordinate, Mobei-Jun. He did not realize that two words slipped out his mouth.

During the last few minutes of the meeting, Qingyuan requested former permission to investigate Binghe's palace. Bing-mei agreed before Bing-ge could think, possibly because Bing-mei wanted to have a good relationship with the person who Qingqiu held respect for.

As the two left, binghe and Qingqiu strolled around the sect on bing-ge's request. Although it was his specific request,
bing-ge could not help but soak in the dazzling sight.

Shen Qing could feel the heated gaze from the man to the right but didn't reprimand him. In fact, he felt a sense of pleasure giving his partner something good to look at.

The two remained in such a manner till they eventually wrapped around the entire mountain and ended up in front of their home.

The sun had set, leaving the sky filled with soft and warm colors.

Entering their home, Qingqiu quickly gathered two sets of clean clothes then led Binghe to their private bathing quarters.

Looking at the bathing pool, binghe felt that a small dilemma was about to occur. As he turned around, he was faced with a de-robing shizun.

Bing-mei wanted to turn around, but Bing-ge wanted burn the image in his mind and re-watch the film over on repeat.

The mist rising from the hot pool left a tempting sight before his eyes. A healthy pale skin tone, was revealed as the robe slide down slowly. A beautifully smo—

A scar.

The was a scar on qingqiu's back appeared. Once bing-ge was familiar with in his world, it was a scar caused by self-destruction.

Walking up to the naked man, Bing-ge ignored the slender waist, legs, and beautifully crafted feet.

His focus was centered around the scar, in which he reached out and touched.
