Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again

After Qi Heyao delivered the letter, he sat at his desk for a long moment, his thoughts drifting back to his memories of Yun Qian. While Yun Qian was a bit spoiled and would sometimes throw a tantrum, she always treated him with a smile. When had she ever been so resolute? At that moment, she was far away at Qianqiu Temple, and he couldn't see a thing. Besides... the man at Qianqiu Temple had no intention of arguing with him, but what if? The thought of this made Qi Heyao's irritation grow even worse.

No, he couldn't go back at this moment. He rejected the idea almost as soon as it came to his mind.

Yun Qian is very important, but their affair has long been known to everyone, and Queen Yun has tacitly agreed to marry her niece to her, so there will be no change of heart.

He shook his head and told himself not to worry about it anymore. Once he had power, he would be able to give her everything she wanted.

------

One day, Yun Qian was strolling along the path outside the main hall, enjoying the solitary comfort, when she suddenly spotted Qi Jueyu sitting alone on the stone steps, twirling his Buddhist beads, his gaze fixed on the distant mountains. She frowned in thought, sensing that more and more people had been staring at her lately.

After returning from the secret room that night, Qi Jueyu forced her to move to another room. Before leaving, she had the system sneak in to take a look and found that the secret passage had been sealed. She thought that Qi Jueyu might have planted people around her since then, or even earlier.

Although she felt a little disgusted by this, she had to endure it temporarily. After all, Qi Jueyu was still wary of her, and this was not the time for her to make trouble with him.

After gathering her thoughts, she walked forward leisurely without speaking.

Qi Jueyu seemed to have noticed someone coming. He raised his eyes slightly and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

After hearing this, no matter how much impression she had of him, she couldn't help feeling a little unhappy. She pretended to be depressed, lowered her eyes and brows, and a plan came to her mind. Anyway, this incident was going to happen, so she might as well lay the groundwork now.

"Qi Jueyu, tell me, why do people feel pain?"

"All living beings in this world suffer from desire. The sea of suffering is boundless. Only by quieting the mind and realizing it can one find peace." His eyes fell on Yun Qian, as if with a moment of insight, and then he whispered, "It is common for a girl living in this world to sometimes feel unbearable pain in her heart and to feel confused and lost."

Yun Qian was slightly startled, then chuckled softly, "Master, you see things clearly. Yun Qian is indeed in the mortal world, and there are many things she can't let go of, and she can't see clearly." She raised her eyes to look at Qi Jueyu, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "But sometimes, the things in the mortal world still make people nostalgic."

Qi Jueyu watched her quietly, a hint of understanding in his dark eyes. His fingers paused slightly on the Buddhist beads, and he whispered, "The affairs of this world, of the past, are all caused by fate. If you truly have an obsession, you should let it take its course and not force it." His words were soft, but they struck Yun Qian's heart with an invisible force.

Yun Qian nodded slightly, smiled bitterly, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice: "If there is nothing to seek, what is the purpose of life?"

Qi Jueyu's eyes darkened slightly, as if some memory flashed through his mind, and then he said calmly: "Obsession brings suffering, letting go brings nothingness. People who practice cultivation should not have too many concerns. Seeking perfection but failing to obtain it, one can find peace of mind."

Although his tone was cold, Yun Qian could hear the dissuasion in his words, and she found it amusing. She was destined to be a mortal, so why not let go of everything, become a nun in this temple, and become his fellow disciple?

Yun Qian's heart moved slightly, and his face became a little excited again. "Qi Jueyu, I understand. It's impossible to have everything. It's better not to be so greedy. Treasure what you have. Whatever I don't have, it's not mine."

Qi Jueyu frowned slightly, his eyes narrowed, but he said nothing, just staring at Yun Qian quietly. Although her words seemed to be a casual remark of sudden enlightenment, he had a vague feeling that she seemed to have other intentions.

What tricks is this woman trying to play?

Just as she was about to speak again, Yun Qian bowed and expressed her gratitude to the master for his guidance. Then she turned and left. One could feel the woman's happiness in her steps.

Why bother seeking peace of mind? If you cling to the mundane world, you are doomed to fail.

.........

Qi Jueyu watched her retreating figure, his brow furrowed. Her attitude remained as unpredictable as ever, making it difficult for him to discern her true intentions. Was her words about "cherishing what you already have" a careless remark, or a deliberate probing move?

He felt a faint anxiety in his heart, which he couldn't explain. He closed his eyes tightly, opened them again, and called out, "Luo Qi,"

Immediately, a man in black appeared and bowed, "I'm here!"

"Has she had any visions recently? Has anyone..."

"My Lord, there is no vision, but..."

"Just what?"

Luo Qi was surprised. He had never seen his master like this before. He was quite harsh in his words to this girl from the Yun family...

"I have noticed that the girl from the Yun family has been a little distracted lately. I don't know why, but there has been no unusual activity in the palace or the Yun Mansion lately."

Luo Qi finished speaking in one breath, lowered his head, and dared not look at his master's expression. After a long time of waiting for no response, he finally said, "Investigate again, go down."

"Yes"

Qi Jueyu lowered his head and continued to finger the Buddhist beads in his hand, but his mind couldn't help but recall her expression as she turned and left. Her brisk steps and the smile on her lips seemed to carry a hint of mischief, as if she had deliberately left clues to lure him in. However, this thought was fleeting. He suppressed his emotion, closed his eyes, sighed softly, and silently recited Buddhist scriptures.

At this moment, a disciple from the temple came hurriedly to report that a distant guest suddenly came to the gate of Qianqiu Temple and wanted to see him.

"Who is it?" Qi Jueyu asked indifferently.

"Reporting to the Master, I claim to be an envoy from Lancheng, saying that he is under the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and wants to see if the girl is well."

"...Is there any evidence that he is the prince's man?"

"The man was holding the Crown Prince's token and said that His Royal Highness had a letter for the girl from the Yun family."

……

"Master, do you want to let him in?"

The disciple was very cautious. He had been in Qianqiu Temple for many years and naturally knew who was the actual person in power. Seeing that Qi Jueyu had not answered for a long time, he gritted his teeth and asked again.

"Let it go, why not?"

The disciple heard this and replied, "Yes," but a storm of anxiety was already brewing in his heart. Why did the Master speak so...

Some of the noises are weird.

Just as the young monk bowed and was about to leave, he was stopped by Qi Jueyu.

Qi Jueyu's face turned slightly cold, and he changed his mind. He said softly, "Take him to the front hall. If the girl asks, tell her. It's up to her whether to come or not."

The disciple left in response, while Qi Jueyu stood where he was, a trace of impatience flashing across his brows. He didn't need to even think about that letter, it must be something so sour that it would make your teeth fall out, it was really disgusting.

Qi Jueyu was merciless when he scolded his half-brother.
