    Dilemma

    When Bai Chengying came to visit after taking elixirs that didn’t work, Qiu Yin’an once asked Wan Qiongju if he was confused and secretly took elixirs in order to quickly increase his skills.

    At that time, Wan Qiongju was still angry that Qiu Yin’an was suspicious of him. Qiu Yin’an felt guilty. In order to appease Wan Qiongju, she did not hesitate to look down and take the initiative to please Wan Qiongju.

    But now that the elixir appeared in Wan Qiongju’s palm, Qiu Yin’an felt like a fool. He had been deceived and was being toyed with. He was so stupid.

    Wan Qiongju replied calmly: “I have never lied to you about anything. I did not steal this pill.”

    “Could it be that Bai Chengying gave it to you?” Qiu Yin’an laughed at himself, “Why didn’t I believe Bai Chengying’s words at that time? All the directions were so obvious, why did I still not believe it?”

    Qiu Yin’an beat her thigh regretfully, “In the end, I would rather believe that the medicine was refined in the same furnace and the properties of the medicine are incompatible, rather than doubting you again. Wan Qiongju, you are so clever. You confused me so much that I can’t tell right from wrong.”

    Wan Qiongju insisted on clarifying for herself, “Changchuan took the pill, not me.”

    “What’s the difference?” Qiu Yin’an roared: “You are all in the same group, you are all acting for me.”

    “I didn’t know it at the time. He took the elixir on his own initiative. He stole it from Bai Chengying. From the beginning to the end, I never lied to you. Like you, I thought the properties of the medicine were incompatible.” Wan Qiongju accepted the elixir and held it.Qiu Yin’an’s hand, “You wanted so much to clear up the relationship with Bai Chengying at that time. This pill was the key to breaking up the rift between you and him. How could I have done anything with this pill? If I had known that it was Chang Chuan who did it, I would have definitely asked him to hand it over.”

    “I will never believe you again no matter what you say.” Qiu Yin’an shook off Wan Qiongju’s hand and said simply, “You are full of lies.”

    “I never told you that I was scared. It’s because you didn’t believe me.” Wan Qiongju’s eyes turned red. He grabbed Qiu Yin’an’s wrist, stared at Qiu Yin’an with his eyebrows pressed, and asked, “Tell me, what did I lie to you? You are the only one who asked me about my relationship with the witch cultivator. I was afraid that you would be confused for a moment.I couldn’t accept it, so I refused to tell you, but you asked, I have never lied to you, and I was afraid that once I told you, you would never believe me again. I have never lied to you before, and I will never lie to you in the future. Can you believe me?”

    “Isn’t this considered a lie?” Qiu Yin’an glared at Wan Qiongju and said word by word: “Great Witch Master.”

    Wan Qiongju’s brows trembled and he relaxed his hand. Qiu Yin’an took the opportunity to retract his hand.

    Wan Qiongju said helplessly: “I can’t change my identity.”

    Qiu Yin’an: “Then don’t try to change the relationship between you and me. We will always be enemies.”

    Wan Qiongju: “I regret why I wore that talisman in the first place. If I had not recovered my past memories, would you always be as good to me as you were before?”

    “Yes, I love you very much. You are irreplaceable in my heart, but now, all my love has disappeared.” Qiu Yin’an was filled with hatred for Wan Qiongju. He thought that his answer would be enough to make Wan Qiongju feel painful for a while, but after he finished speaking, his heart began to ache.

    This move was not worth the gain.

    Qiu Yin’an wanted to numb himself, so he continued to curse: “Now in my eyes, you are no different from Bai Chengying. Both of you say you love me, but in fact you do things to hurt me. Bai Chengying stabbed me three times and almost sent me to hell. You, even more than him, cursed me, the Qiu family, to have a short life, and made me lonely in the world. I hate you.”

    “Don’t compare me with Bai Chengying. I am the person you loved. He is not qualified to compare with me.” Wan Qiongju calmed down. He wanted Qiu Yin’an to change his mind. He couldn’t think of a better way than to go along with Qiu Yin’an in everything.

    Wan Qiongju handed the elixir to Qiu Yin’an’s lips, “Take it, I will help you adjust your breath, and you will regain your mana soon.”

    Qiu Yin’an hated Wan Qiongju for what he had done, but in order to restore his magic power, he had to go along with him.

    Qiu Yin’an took the pill, threw it into his mouth and swallowed it. He felt that he and Wan Qiongju had become thieves who stole the pill.

    The effect of this elixir did not take effect quickly, so Wan Qiongju refused to leave that night.

    “Go away, I’ll say it one last time.” Qiu Yin’an lifted Wan Qiongju’s quilt and pointed to the door.

    “Master, stop making trouble. It’s so late. Let’s get some rest.” Wan Qiongju pulled back the quilt and pulled him into bed together with Qiu Yin’an. “I don’t know when the medicine will take effect. I have to stay by your side.”

    “Didn’t you adjust my breathing during the day? I don’t need you to guard me now. You go back.” Qiu Yin’an hung on Wan Qiongju’s arm around him.

    It wasn’t enough for Wan Qiongju to hold her with his arms. He also used his legs to restrain Qiu Yin’an. “No, who can say anything about this kind of thing? If you lose your true energy at night, you will suffer.”

    Qiu Yin’an: “Even if something really happens and you are so close, I will just go find you.”

    Wan Qiongju: “Who knows what it will be like when you have an attack. What if you don’t even have the strength to get out of bed? I’d better stay with you.”

    Qiu Yin’an shouted angrily: “Wan Qiongju, are you bullying me for not having magic power?”

    He put his hand on the man’s most lethal part, and then threatened: “Are you going to get out or not? My hands are not weak, I can kill you in one go.”

    Wan Qiongju seemed to have expected that Qiu Yin’an would be so angry. He was not afraid, and boldly moved forward, “Master refuses to forgive me, and I won’t be able to use him in the future, so just scrap him.”

    Since Qiu Yin’an woke up, Wan Qiongju has never slept with Qiu Yin’an again. Now that he has finally found an excuse, Wan Qiongju has to stay anyway, otherwise he doesn’t know when he will be able to find a decent excuse.

    “Shameless, who wants to touch you?” Qiu Yin’an quickly withdrew his hand and bumped Wan Qiongju’s ribs with his elbow, “Get out of here, don’t let me say it a second time.”

    Wan Qiongju: “It’s thundering outside. I’m scared. Master, please take me in for one night.”

    Qiu Yin’an: “Where’s the thunder? Why didn’t I hear it? Now that you have such magic power, are you still afraid of mere thunder?”

    “Afraid.” As soon as Wan Qiongju finished speaking, there was a loud thunder outside, and Qiu Yin’an was startled.

    After several thunders, there was still no rain. Qiu Yin’an knew that these thunders must be Wan Qiongju’s work.

    Seeing that Wan Qiongju was determined to pester him, Qiu Yin’an felt helpless.

    On a normal day, he would have used a knife to force people away when they saw blood, but right now, he needed this man to help him regulate his breathing, so his refusal could not be too cruel.

    After thinking twice, Qiu Yin’an said: “Both of us take a step back. You can stay here, but get out of bed.”

    “I will lie here honestly and never move.” Wan Qiongju said this, but he was not honest when holding Qiu Yin’an’s hand. “The ground is cold, Master, please let me sleep on the couch.”

    “Then you sleep on the couch and I’ll sleep on the floor.” Qiu Yin’an threw a pillow down and pushed his body hard on the ground.

    Wan Qiongju was not willing to let Qiu Yin sleep on the ground, “No, no, no, I’ll just sleep on the floor.”

    Wan Qiongju pushed the person back into the quilt, and then lay on the ground honestly, leaning on the pillow, looking at Qiu Yin’an with a smile, “Master, sweet dreams.”

    Qiu Yin’an put down the bed curtains with a straight face. He closed his eyes, and the image of Wan Qiongju lying on the ground in pajamas still appeared in his mind.

    Although the weather is not cold in spring, you can still feel the coolness at night. Will it be cold for Wan Qiongju just wearing pajamas?

    It’s really annoying. I asked him to go back to sleep, but he didn’t go back. Now he’s lying on the ground, making it difficult for him to sleep peacefully.

    After tossing and turning for a long time, Qiu Yin’an stood up irritably.

    “Master, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Wan Qiongju immediately sat up, his eyes following Qiu Yin’an’s every move.

    Qiu Yin’an ignored him, grabbed the extra quilt on the bed and threw it on the ground without saying a word or even looking at Wan Qiongju.

    Wan Qiongju looked at the quilt thrown down by Qiu Yin’an and was stunned for a moment, “Master, you can’t let me go in your heart, can you?”

    Qiu Yin’an lay back on the bed with his back to the bed and remained silent. He didn’t even dare to think deeply about what Wan Qiongju asked him. He was afraid that he would not live up to his expectations, just like what Wan Qiongju said.

    Qiu Yin’an replied in a calm voice: “What if you catch wind and cold and delay adjusting your breath for me?”

    Wan Qiongju didn’t believe Qiu Yin’an’s answer. He had the answer he wanted in his heart.

    He hugged the quilt and smiled silly for a long time. Then he grabbed the corner of the quilt and kissed it, covering him happily. He was convinced that this was Qiu Yin’an’s reluctance to leave him.
