    Summary

    “My name is Yue Qingyuan,” he says, as if Shen Jiu is someone to be introduced to. His gaze on Shen Jiu is - intent, almost frighteningly so. Unblinking. “Are you really a servant here? Or a slave?”

    “Ah - I believe I can find that out for you--” Lord Xu is saying, already waving over his head servant, and Shen Jiu is so irritated that the man just seems to assume that Shen Jiu can’t answer for himself like he’s a dog or some other beast that he speaks up.

    “A slave,” he answers, and Yue Qingyuan nods as if this isn’t surprising.

    Then he turns towards Lord Xu and he says, “I will buy him.”

    -

    A rich and powerful cultivator meets a slave with nothing to his name, and decides to buy him on the spot. Why?

    Summary

    “All of the human remains have already been removed and given a burial as well. With the bodies all burned to a crisp, no one could be told apart from each other, and so they were all buried together in a mass grave.” 

    Yue Qingyuan had screamed so much in the Ling Xi Caves. He’d screamed himself hoarse, and then some more. He screamed until his throat was torn asunder, and he’d been drowning in his own blood. Now, he feels a scream like that deep down in the pit of his throat, and yet it won’t come out. It’s stuck there, forever. Xiao-Jiu-- Yue Qingyuan won’t even be able to hold his bones. How could he fail so horribly? How could he--? 

    “But young master, are you certain that your brother is dead? He might be one of the survivors.” 

    -

    One thing, for once, goes right in Yue Qingyuan's life.

    Summary

    He comes home. The Grand House yawns large and empty as always, and he disappears into it like a man slipping into a crevice. He makes his way through the dark, not bothering to light any lanterns--

    In his sitting room a talisman flares to life with a burst of qi. Enough light to reveal Shen Qingqiu, seated at an angle so that he’s looking directly at the front door. There's a cup of tea and a teapot on the table, both looking cold and abandoned. How long has he been sitting there? 

    “How. Dare. You.” 

    -

    Shen Qingqiu has a bone to pick with Yue Qingyuan regarding a letter.

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu steals Yue Qi. 

    It is disgustingly easy for him to do. The Sect Leader has been made vulnerable, and there aren’t any guards in front of his room? No one looking over him, to make sure that no one takes advantage? Secrecy alone is not enough to keep him safe, especially if all of the Peak Lords are in the know. Shen Qingqiu would have a sharp word with Mu Qingfang for the lax security on his peak, but that would be a little like the thief telling the lord to look after his goods better. His martial brother is only lucky that Shen Qingqiu isn’t seeking to kill their Sect Leader. 

    He thinks. 

    He’s still making up his mind. 

    -

    Shen Qingqiu gets Yue Qi back.

    Summary

    “Shixiong, Swelter Toad oil sends kunzes into sudden heat,” Huang Qinggua told him. “It’s inflaming your meridians along with it. If you don’t sate yourself, your core will quite literally melt.”

    “I’m—I’m not, I won’t,” Shen Qingqiu started. Finally, he snarled, “Stay away from me.” A piece of hair had escaped his guan and was falling down, sticking to his forehead.

    “It doesn’t have to be me,” Huang Qinggua coaxed, maintaining his distance. “Shixiong, you need to dual-cultivate. You have an hour, two at the most. Who do you want? If they’re in the sect, we’ll call for them.”

    “And then what?” Shen Qingqiu managed. “You’ll tell them how best to fuck me?” His eyes were glittering.
