Arc 7 – Farewell to that Senior Brother
Chapter 163

Chi Zhao’s response wasn’t very polite. Lin Changfeng looked fixatedly at him and called out again, “Chi Zhao.”

Although Chi Zhao was facing Lin Changfeng, his gaze passed Lin Changfeng and was looking at the darkness behind him. He blinked a few times, retracted his gaze and widened his eyes slightly, “Why are you calling me? Are you also afraid of this place?”

Lin Changfeng, “……..”

Although he had asked a question, Chi Zhao wasn’t looking for an answer to that question. He looked around and found the jug of wine beside Lin Changfeng. Holding the empty cup with one hand, he reached out to the jug with the other but when he was about to reach it, Lin Changfeng easily moved the jug behind him and outside of his reach.

This time, the expression was a little different from before when he looked at Chi Zhao, “Chi Zhao, are you drunk?”

Chi Zhao was like a silkworm. He laid down, placed his arms on the ground and wriggled forward to get around Lin Changfeng and get his hands on that hidden jug of wine. He had completely forgotten that he was human and had legs that he could use to stand up with.

As soon as this scene appeared, there was no need to look for an answer to that question. Lin Changfeng however wanted to know how he would answer him. It is said that those who are drunk would never admit that they are drunk, and no one had really become drunk in front of him before. Even if there was, Lin Changfeng had never had the urge to tease them, but with Chi Zhao like this right now, he really wanted to do that.

Chi Zhao was sprawled across the ground while Lin Changfeng sat on the ground. The two were very close. Hearing Lin Changfeng speak, Chi Zhao raised his head to look at him. It was actually pretty uncomfortable doing that, but it was as if Chi Zhao didn’t feel it.

He maintained that position and retorted with a serious expression, “Who’s drunk? I’m not. I didn’t drink so how can I be drunk?”

Lin Changfeng lightly chuckled and didn’t speak.

He inwardly made another note.

After becoming drunk, youngest junior brother is not noisy and not as scary as he himself says, he is even a quite cute and would respond to everything he is asked.

Seeing him chuckling, Chi Zhao was in daze. He was already in an intoxicated state and he even forgot who he himself was.

Seeing that he still wasn’t getting up, Lin Changfeng reached out to pull him up. Chi Zhao sat up after borrowing his strength. Seeing that Chi Zhao was even more obedient than usual, Lin Changfeng felt that it was about time.

He asked, “Do you know who I am?”

Chi Zhao blinked, “Eldest senior brother.”

Chi Zhao had some dirt on him. It was something that could be dealt with easily with a cleansing technique, but Lin Changfeng chose to use his hand. After gently wiping away the dirt from the front, his hand moved to Chi Zhao’s chin.

He first wiped off the dirt from his chin and then he gently rubbed his Adam’s apple with the tips of his fingers. The Adam’s apple which had just developed not long ago was relatively small and sensitive. When Lin Changfeng touched it, it would tremble a little, as if the Adam’s apple was shy.

The Adam’s apple wasn’t shy but the owner of it was.

Chi Zhao looked at Lin Changfeng with a flushed face. The latter’s originally deep eyes become even deeper and even his voice become a little lower.

“Chi Zhao, do you like me?”

Without even needing to think, Chi Zhao nodded vigorously, “Like.”

“How much?”

The question stumped Chi Zhao. Lin Changfeng still hadn’t retracted his hand and his thumb was inadvertently kneading the soft flesh on Chi Zhao’s neck. He avoided the jut in his throat but deliberately circled his thumb around it. Being treated like this, Chi Zhao felt that something wasn’t right and wanted to escape but the person doing this to him was Lin Changfeng.

It’s Lin Changfeng.

If it’s him, then he……then he can reluctantly accept it and bear with it.

Chi Zhao aggrievedly remained in place. After thinking about it for a long time, he replied, “I like you very much. See? That’s why I’m not even trying to escape even while you’re bullying me right now.”

Lin Changfeng’s actions stopped. He then added strength and squeezed the slight jut in Chi Zhao’s throat.

Lin Changfeng’s voice sounded a little different from before. It contained more irritation and there were some other emotions Chi Zhao’s current mind couldn’t process.

“Who did you learn something like this from?”

Who else could it be apart from you?

This person was too unreasonable. Chi Zhao turned his head away unhappily and didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

Seeing him act like that, a sound of laughter rang from Lin Changfeng’s end. After a while, he asked softly, “Chi Zhao, when you wake up tomorrow, you’re really not going to remember anything?”

Chi Zhao ignored him. He was clearly still angry. Lin Changfeng moved closer to him.

Chi Zhao turned and looked at him silently. His eyes seemed to be asking what he was up to now.

What Chi Zhao didn’t know was that the place they were at now was the forbidden area of the Zhao Tian sect where every sect leader would be buried. Only current and future sect leaders are allowed to enter and leave this place.

And so, it was normal for Chi Zhao to be afraid. This place was after all the place where many sect leaders who have reached a late stage in cultivation but were not able to successfully ascend are buried. If Jiye Zhenren also fails to ascend in the future, this would be his final destination. Lin Changfeng, as the one who has been recognised by the entire cultivation realm to be next sect leader of the Zhao Tian sect, would possibly also have his body buried here in the future.

Death was a very distant topic for Lin Changfeng. He brought Chi Zhao here only because he took a fancy to the tranquillity here. They could drink however they liked, and he could say anything he wanted without worrying about being overheard by others.

A gentleman should be magnanimous. Lin Changfeng had never thought that there would be a day where he would have to painstakingly hide something. He laughed at himself and then lowered his voice even more.

“I’ll tell you a secret, okay?”

The whispering tone instantly aroused Chi Zhao’s interested. He nodded with bright eyes, “Okay, okay.”

Lin Changfeng smiled faintly, “The secret is……’

He deliberately drew out the last word. Under Chi Zhao expectant gaze, Lin Changfeng finished his line.

“Chi Zhao, I seem to like you too.”

Chi Zhao was stunned. Soon afterwards, his eyes widened in shock and he propped his upper body up. He looked at Lin Changfeng with excitement and opened his mouth to say something but before he could make a sound, Lin Changfeng’s right hand had at some unknown point in time reached behind him and struck his sleeping meridian. In an instant, sleepiness overwhelmed him. Chi Zhao’s body went soft.

He crumpled into Lin Changfeng’s arms. Supporting Chi Zhao, Lin Changfeng’s body was stiff and silent.

He thought inside: This was enough. This was as far as he could go.

Just as Lu Yuezhi had said, he should stay away from Chi Zhao. It’ll be good for both of them as well as the entire cultivation realm.

The cultivation realm couldn’t be tossed around again, the Zhao Tian sect couldn’t be subjected to a barrage of criticisms again and he himself couldn’t watch everything happen again and watch Chi Zhao meet the same fate as that person.

His mind told him that he was fine but in fact, the arms holding Chi Zhao tightened a little. The person he wanted was close at hand. As long as he wanted to, as long as he opened his mouth, that person would become his.

Those tense arms were like shackles. It was unknown how much strength it took for Lin Changfeng to finally stand up with Chi Zhao obediently sleeping in his arms. There was a roar of a giant beast in the distance. It was the beast guarding the graves. Chi Zhao seemed to be very afraid of the beast’s roar and even in his sleep, he was frowning.

Lin Changfeng glanced at the place where the giant beast was hiding and soon there were no more sounds.

The giant beast no longer dared to call out and even the smaller creatures didn’t dare make any sounds. Everything was quiet. Lin Changfeng lowered his head, kissed top of Chi Zhao’s head, and left the place with him in his arms.

And the moment they left, in the small courtyard next to the cliff, Jiye Zhenren who was meditating opened his eyes.

With half-opened eyes, he silently let out a sigh and then he closed it again.

He brought Chi Zhao back to his bed, took off his shoes and socks and helped tucked him in. Before he could retract his hands, he saw that Chi Zhao was sniffling with an upset expression. The boy’s clean and youthful face was wrinkled together, and he looked like he was about to cry.

Lin Changfeng was taken aback for a moment. Seeing that his lips were moving, Lin Changfeng leaned closer to hear what he was saying.

“I don’t…..I don’t want to leave, don’t want to……Can’t I continue to stay? I can follow…I don’t want to leave you….”

Even his sleep talk was filled with grief. His cries were like a pair of pliers, fiercely clamping on Lin Changfeng’s heart. He froze for a moment and tried to coax him awkwardly, “Yes, won’t leave. You won’t leave me.”

Hearing those words, Chi Zhao’s brows furrowed even more. The 600-year-old wine had allowed him to sleep very deeply but at the same time it had removed the shield around his heart. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. Chi Zhao’s voice became even smaller and there were small sobs mixed in with his words.

“You promised me…..You clearly said it. You said it but you didn’t fulfil it……”

Lin Changfeng was stunned for a while. What did he promise? He didn’t remember saying anything like that to Chi Zhao.

While he was wondering, Chi Zhao spoke again, “Shen Wumian…..big liar……”

……Shen Wumian?

A very unfamiliar name. Lin Changfeng was certain that he had never heard of this name before.

Chi Zhao was still attacking Shen Wumian over and over again and each time, Lin Changfeng’s expression turned darker and darker.

……

The next day, Chi Zhao woke up and found that he once again couldn’t remember anything. The meridian point behind his neck was also a little sore. It was clear that he was drunk again. Chi Zhao wasn’t surprised at all. Anyway, he had told Lin Changfeng to knock him out, so everything was probably okay.

After changing and leaving his room, he saw that Lin Changfeng was outside. He walked over with cheerful steps.

Chi Zhao was in a good mood, “Senior brother, did you bring me back yesterday? It must’ve been hard for senior brother.”

Lin Changfeng stared at him for a long time. Chi Zhao seemed to be the same as usual. He was certain now that he didn’t remember anything.

Whether it was his confession, or his sleep talk.

The corners of Lin Changfeng’s lips twitched, “Not hard. Starting today, your daily reciting of the Heart-Clearing Mantra is to be increased to two hours.”

Chi Zhao: ??? What did I do wrong now?
