“Are you hungry?” Ye Sinian stretched out his hand to push open the courtyard door, stepped into the door, and asked the child in his arms softly.

Yun Buqi hadn’t recovered from the excitement of witnessing the magic of material arts. He couldn’t help biting his lower lip and nodded vigorously, following Ye Sinian’s movements to look at everything inside the door curiously.

This was an exquisite small yard. The ground paved with bluestone slabs was wet from the drizzle, and looks damp, reflecting the upturned eaves of the house. There was a blooming pear tree in the corner of the yard. The pink and white petals fall on the blue ground, it looks really nice.

“Let’s eat first.” Ye Sinian didn’t bother to take a bath and change clothes. He was worried that the child would be very hungry, so he strode into the house and said, “Is it okay to take a bath and change clothes after eating?” 

Yun Buqi hugged Ye Sinian’s neck. Hearing the other party was talking in a gentle tone, he suddenly felt sad and aggrieved for some reason.

Although his mind was more mature than others, Yun Buqi was only a five or six-year-old child. At his age, others were still acting like a baby in the arms of their parents, but he has to endure the insults and bullying of others, begging on the streets day after day. How can there be no grievances in his heart?

When there was no one to rely on but himself, no matter what grievances or sufferings, he can only suffer by himself, struggling to survive silently. But suddenly, a tall and powerful figure appeared in his life, standing in front of him and gently telling him, don’t worry, I am here.

The world full of darkness was instantly split, and a warm light shining into his heart that had never been imagined was so beautiful that it made him want to cry.

His big eyes blinked lightly, Yun Buqi hugged Ye Sinian’s neck tightly, nodded obediently and said, “Okay!”

The smile in Ye Sinian’s eyes became stronger. He was very satisfied with the very well-behaved and obedient little apprentice in his arms. The moment he met Yun Buqi, the desire to feed this thin and small child became fat and white became more and more intense.

Feed, bathe, dress, put to sleep…

Hmm…Speaking of which, he never knew that he was such a patient person.

Ye Sinian shook his head and laughed. He was only wearing inner clothes. After taking a bath, the ends of his hair were slightly wet, and his long black hair was scattered behind his back. His long hair was like a waterfall.

He sat on the head of the bed, looking softly at the child who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.

Due to malnutrition since childhood, the child does not look fat and cute like other children. The skinny face that was not as big as a palm makes people feel pity at first sight.

Thinking of the bruises and scars all over his body when he helped him take a bath just now, Ye Sinian’s eyes darkened suddenly, and a hint of distress flashed across his face.

If he was like the original owner and came a few years later, how much more suffering would this child have to suffer?

Looking carefully at the child’s delicate facial features, when Ye Sinian saw the curve on his lips that never lowered, he felt soft and reached out to gently lift the quilt for him.

The feeling of raising a son… seems to be good.

Thinking of the child’s blushing face and soft eyes when he bathed him earlier, Ye Sinian felt a softness somewhere in his heart. He unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, stood up, and walked out slowly.

As the leader of the Demon’s Cult, he wanted to see those ambitious bastards who dared to bully his children!

In the largest cloth store in Qingzhou City, the wealthy middle-aged shopkeeper walked up the stairs with a face full of excitement and quickly walked towards the third floor, which was never opened to outsiders in the past.

In the spotlessly cleaned room, a tall man in a bright red cloth stood in front of the desk, writing something with a brush. His waterfall-like black hair was neatly bundled up high, and he wore a jade mask on his face. The cold jade made of excellent material glowed coldly, blending with the fiery red on his body, it gave a strange chilling sensation.

The middle-aged shopkeeper cautiously opened the door and walked in. His eyes almost lit up when he saw the man’s attire. He stepped forward with great excitement, bowed respectfully and cupped his fists and said, “This subordinate greet master .”

The pair of cold and indifferent eyes fell on him through the mask. The middle-aged shopkeeper’s heart sank suddenly. There was a slight sweat on his forehead and his breathing has also become rapid

After an unknown amount of time, The middle-aged shopkeeper felt the man’s gaze has retracted, his heart relaxed, and his back was completely wet with sweat.

“Zhao Jie.” The man’s eyes fell on the unfinished painting in front of him again, and he said in a cold voice, “How many years have you been here in Qingzhou City.” 

A trace of ecstasy flashed across Zhao Jie’s sweaty face. He clenched his fists excitedly, and said in a deep voice, “This subordinate has been here for more than seven years.” 

“Seven years…” The man nodded, dipped his brush in ink to perfect the painting in front of him, and said without raising his head: “Then do you know if there is a person  known as Doctor Li in Qingzhou City?” 

The excitement in his eyes paused for a moment, Zhao Jie nodded blankly and said: “That person is a liar who has done all kinds of bad things, and he is well-known in Qingzhou City, but How did master learn about this?”

The man glanced at him lightly, then slowly put down his brush, looked carefully at the painting in front of him, and said, “Arrest this person and bring him back to the sect.”

The man’s gaze made Zhao Jie feel a little bit of a panic. Zhao Jie instantly realized that his question was beyond the reach, and hurriedly lowered his head nervously, still worried about whether the leader would be angry because of this, he couldn’t help being stunned for a moment when he heard the words. After realizing the meaning of the leader’s words, Zhao Jie couldn’t help but felt a burst of ecstasy, and blurted out: “Can this subordinate go back?!”

The man in red gently dried the ink, glanced at him, and said: “If this is done, the mistakes you made before will naturally be written off. But if it can’t be done…”

The unfinished sentences were full of endless threats, and the excited Zhao Jie suddenly straightened his back. He bowed to accept the order and said: “This subordinate obey !” 

Zhao Jie take the order and left. Close the door gently and the room returns to silence.

The masked man paused slightly, and he took off the cold mask, revealing a flawless face.

The long curled eyelashes cast two fan-shaped shadows on his face. He looked down at the peacefully sleeping child in the painting, and a gleam of unknown light flashed across his eyes.

    ====

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Ye Sinian saw a small figure squatting under the pear tree with his hands folded on his knees not far away, his whole body was full of sadness.

A hint of puzzlement flashed in his eyes, he strode forward, and said as he walked, “What’s wrong? Why did you come out?”

Yun Buqi suddenly raised his head from between his knees, his tear-filled eyes were full of surprise. Two streams of tears fell from his eyes, and he couldn’t get rid of them, making him look extremely pitiful.

Finally seeing the concerned Ye Sinian, Yun Buqi pursed his lips, stood up abruptly, and rushed towards him.

Ye Sinian bend down to catch the child who was rushing towards him. Ye Sinian hugged him distressedly, patted him on the back, and said softly: “Why don’t you sleep?” 

“I thought …Thought you didn’t want me anymore…” Yun Buqi hugged Ye Sinian’s neck tightly, his crying voice was full of grievance and uneasiness, big teardrops fell on Ye Sinian’s neck, scalding his heart.

The neck was hot and wet, Ye Sinian was stunned, and regret suddenly rose in his heart.

Perhaps, he shouldn’t have left while he was sleeping.

“It’s my fault.” Ye Sinian walked into the house with the child in his arms and said as he walked, “I’m sorry, I will definitely bring you with me next time.”

“Keep your word.” Yun Buqi long eyelashes were wet with tears, his eyes were red, his face was full of tears, and he looked pitiful,

“That’s natural!” Ye Sinian put him on the bed gently like a fragile object and gently wiped away his tears.

Yun Buqi pursed his lips, stretched out his small hand suddenly, raised his pinky finger, and stared at Ye Sinian with a little expectation in his eyes, saying, “Pinky promise?”

Ye Sinian couldn’t help laughing. He met those clear and bright eyes washed by tears, saw his seriousness, sighed helplessly, and stretched out his pinky finger to make a promise.

With his small hand hooked into the big hand, Yun Buqi’s eyes lit up slightly, and he said in a crisp voice: “You will never leave me?

“Un. I will never leave you.” Ye Sinian looked at the child standing in front that was not as high as him, nodded seriously and said, “I take you out of here, okay?”

Leave?

“Where are we going?” Yun Buqi blinked, looking at the gentle master in front of him, thinking of completely leaving the small town where he was born and raised, and going to a completely strange place, he felt a little unsure for some reason. 

“Wuhui Island.” Seeing his uneasiness, Ye Sinian simply took him into his arms, held the child’s soft and fragrant body, and explained carefully: “Wuhui Island is an overseas island with beautiful scenery. Don’t worry, Wuhui island is full of my believers, you are my disciple, they will definitely respect you. Moreover you can depend on me for everything…” 

Listening to the Master’s rambling words of comfort, Yun Buqi’s uneasiness slowly calmed down. He embraced the master’s broad shoulders, lay on his shoulders, opened a pair of bright eyes, and listened carefully to his words.

Ye Sinian’s eyes were full of warm smiles. He rubbed the child’s head. For some reason, he suddenly liked the feeling of being relied on.

Holding the child in one hand, Ye Sinian walked to the desk and asked him to stand carefully on the chair. Under his curious eyes, he spread out the rice paper nimbly, and picked up the brush with his slender fingers. Between the brush and paper, an isolated island appears vividly on the paper.

“Although the name of the island is Wuhui, the city on the island is very prosperous and the sea transportation is prosperous. Although it is not as good as the capital city, it is also unique.” Ye Sinian’s white fingertips lightly tapped the very majestic picture on the paper. Turned his face to the surprised child and said, “You will definitely like it.”

Yun Buqi followed that slender finger slowly upwards, and met the master’s light-colored eyes full of warmth, his heart was filled with unknown emotions, he pursed his lips tightly. Under his master gentle gaze, he nodded slowly.
