Broken BondsChapter 75

The man saw him coming out and said, “Feili, come with me.”

Yan Feili hesitated, “Sect Master, it’s not early, I…” uESA07

Beitang Ao ignored him, turned around, and went to the nearby courtyard. The Sect Master walked as if he was certain that Yan Feili would follow. Yan Feili couldn’t ignore him, so he had to follow him silently.

The two turned around the garden and came to the southernmost courtyard. Although this countryside courtyard was not as gorgeous as the Beitang Palace or as large as Shenmei Courtyard. It was built for summer hunting and had an elegant and beautiful place on the southernmost side, a place to enjoy the cool weather and the moon.

The season had not arrived and the lotus at the bottom of the pool had not yet budded, but the moonlight was clear on the pool surface. There was a warm pavilion by the pool built in the style of southern beauty, resembling a pavilion but not a pavilion with curtains on three sides.

Yan Feili walked in with him and saw a few small dishes on the stone table, two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and warm wine on the side. 8MHQVY

Beitang Ao sat down, pointed to the opposite chair, and said, “I didn’t see you for dinner. I had them prepare some small dishes so you can eat more.”

Yan Feili sat down silently. The dishes on the table were light, simple, and suited his taste. He never thought that there would be another day to see Beitang Ao and Beitang Ri, but his day came so suddenly, so unexpectedly. Until now, it felt a little unreal.

“Sect Master, did you know that I was on this horse farm?”

“Do you really think I would ignore you?”

Beitang Ao clicked the corner of his lips, “You finally asked. It’s exciting. I thought you wouldn’t say anything.”

Yan Feili lowered his head, turning his hands, and said in a deep voice, “If you don’t say it, I’ll take it as you don’t want to.”

Beitang Ao poured another glass for him. His movements were elegant and natural. “Feili, our relationship is indeed unclear. It is too difficult to sort out now. It is too late to cut it off.”

Yan Feili raised his eyes and saw him looking at the pool outside the pavilion with no face. Expressionless, he didn’t know what he was thinking. SAaKZh

“Sect Master, when did you find me?” Yan Feili asked after a moment of silence.

“Three months after you left, I grasped your whereabouts. You got news from your old friends in Northern Sect that I acquiesced to your departure and deleted your name from the Tianmen roster, right? So you thought I wouldn’t look for you?”

“Sect Master has everything to do with everything, how did you find the time to find me? Why do you want to find me?”

Beitang Ao glared at him, “You feel that you have so little weight in my heart?” efL017

Yan Feili smiled bitterly. Of course, he knew that he still had some weight in Beitang Ao’s heart, but he wouldn’t pretend to think that it was heavy. It was not that he was arrogant, but he didn’t expect to receive more affection from Beitang Ao. Because he was also a man, he knew that men have many things besides feelings. Beitang Ao had a family, a career, responsibilities, and power. These things should distract Beitang Ao too much, and Yan Feili ought to be nothing in comparison. At least, as long as there was Ri’er, Beitang Ao will never forget that there was such a person called Yan Feili.

Beitang Ao was annoyed because Yan Feili was silent, put down the wine glass in his hand, and stared at him.

The night was deep and surrounded by silence. There was an ambiguous atmosphere between them, yet his deep gaze did not make Yan Feili fluster. But thinking of what happened on the grassland in the morning made Yan Feili feel disturbed.

“Sect Master, it’s too late today. Let’s talk about it tomorrow if we have something…” 7ZRSTI

Beitang Ao ignored it and asked, “You have been to this courtyard before. When was that?”

Yan Feili helplessly answered, “It was the year when your Divine Art was accomplished.”

“Oh, yes!” Beitang Ao laughed, “At that time, you came back with me to participate in the ceremony. Later, I stayed in the house without incident, so I took you here to go hunting.”

After thinking about it, he asked, “It’s been ten years, right?” PmBJki

“Yes.”

“The years have passed.” Beitang Ao sighed. He was rarely sentimental but this sigh was exceptionally clear.

Yan Feili was aroused by him, and the scenes of the past flashed through his mind. Back then, he had accompanied him to drink alcohol here month after month, but he was not in his embarrassing status now. At that time, the young man was as clear as the moon, unattainable in his eyes. At this moment, he was his close and distant… Lover?

Beitang Ao stood up and approached Yan Feili, holding his hand and whispering in his ear, “Feili, do you remember what I said in the morning?” lxnqVC

Yan Feili’s hand trembled, and the wine in the glass spilled and splashed on the table. He wanted to push Beitang Ao away but realized that he couldn’t summon a trace of strength.

“Sect Master!?”

“I know you have always been stubborn, so I specially prepared this drinks and snacks for you.” Beitang Ao smiled and held his hand tightly. “A decade has passed between us so fast. I don’t want to spend the next decade without you.”

With a sound, the jade glass fell from Yan Fei’s hand and onto the ground. Beitang Ao swept his arms around, wrapped Yan Feili’s weakened body in his arms, and smiled, “You know I want you!” YpXvOg
