Chapter 318 Jealous Men Are a Little Scary
The return of Mutian Pavilion and the disbandment of Lingxi Pavilion caused a great uproar in the fairy realm.
The change of rulers has always evoked both anticipation and fear among the ruled.
However, Mutian Pavilion was infamous, and most of the fairies stayed at home out of fear, secretly inquiring about the news.
Not long after, the Mutian Pavilion branch was rebuilt in the Huayan Mirror Palace in the center of the fairyland, which had just been demolished. This symbolized that the tenth rank, which was once feared by the fairyland, was now reigning over the fairyland as a new generation of kings.
The transition between the old and the new should have brought a lot of trouble, but at this time, we have to be thankful that Mutian Pavilion has a bad reputation.
Of course, these tasks naturally fell to the third-tier Yin Chen, since the eldest brother Yue Yuanming and the second brother Shui Qingli of Mutian Pavilion were mostly "not doing their proper work".
Rather than dealing with all this mess, they'd rather stay together all the time.
Upon regaining his freedom, Yue Yuanming immediately wanted to visit Shui Qingli's territory.
……
[Fairyland, Pure Water Lake, Water Crystal Palace]
Shui Qingli enthusiastically showed Yue Yuanming everything about the Shui Linglong Palace.
This is his territory, and it's time to welcome his other male owner.
But for some reason, Shui Qingli always felt that Yue Yuanming looked gloomy and not very interested.
"Yuanming, are you unhappy?"
Shui Qingli and Yue Yuanming sat side by side on the throne, poking his overly serious face.
Having experienced the joys and sorrows of two lifetimes, Shui Qingli's sensitivity had decreased considerably, so Yue Yuanming's aloof behavior made him immediately realize that something was wrong.
Yue Yuanming was indeed angry, but seeing Shui Qingli's eyes filled with him, he really couldn't get angry.
But keeping this not-so-big-but-not-so-small thing to myself felt like a thorn in my side, unbearable.
He simply asked directly, "Qingli, why go to such lengths regarding the Lingxi Pavilion?"
Shui Qingli understood that Yue Yuanming was bothered by his persuasion of Yan Jue, since the disbandment of Lingxi Pavilion was ultimately just a matter of a word from Yue Yuanming.
"Yuanming, are you bothered by Yan Jue's matter?" Shui Qingli thought for a moment, then told the truth: "In the years since I left the forbidden land, I joined the Lingxi Pavilion and became an old acquaintance of Yan Jue, so I... can't bear to let him die like this."
Although Shui Qingli warned Bing Lixue and Yan Jue to draw a line from the beginning, he, who has memories of two lifetimes, finds it difficult to sever ties with people from the past.
Therefore, when revealing her identity, Shui Qingli repeatedly emphasized that they would be enemies, not only to warn Yan Jue, but also to try to convince herself.
The ties they shared in their past life made Shui Qingli reluctant to let Yan Jue stay or leave.
Since Lingxi Pavilion no longer exists, what's wrong with keeping our old friends around to do something for Mutian Pavilion?
"He...is very important to you?" After hearing Shui Qingli's explanation, Yue Yuanming's tone became very dangerous.
And this statement also carried an obvious hint of jealousy.
However, Yue Yuanming was not speaking without reason. During the many years he was sealed, he knew almost nothing about Shui Qingli's experiences, nor about the people Shui Qingli knew.
He had been absent from his life for far too long; if it weren't for the affection between them, they probably would have become strangers long ago.
Of course, it was that breakup and his long absence that made him feel insecure in his relationship with Shui Qingli.
Shui Qingli fell silent.
This wasn't the first time he'd sensed Yue Yuanming's insecurity, but it was the first time he'd realized so profoundly just how much damage the separation and estrangement of these past years had inflicted on him.
Even casual acquaintances with whom he has a certain level of acquaintance can make him feel a strong sense of crisis.
"I'm sorry, I didn't make you feel safe." Shui Qingli turned over and sat in Yue Yuanming's lap, leaning on his shoulder: "Yuanming, to me, no one is more important than you."
Yue Yuanming also recovered from his internal struggle, but simply held Shui Qingli without saying a word.
Who is to blame for this?
They couldn't find the answer thousands of years ago, and they still can't find it thousands of years later.
But the only thing that is certain is that the mastermind behind this is definitely not innocent.
……
Before long, this warm and peaceful atmosphere was broken. Yue Yuanming, who had a very good memory, carried Shui Qingli and headed straight for his bedroom.
Only through genuine and intimate connection can one truly feel that the clear water is always by their side.
Shui Qingli, who was on the verge of tears, said that a man who is jealous but also insecure is really a bit scary.
