Chapter 77: A Drama of Joys and Sorrows (Part Two)

"Speak."

Si Cang Qing casually returned, his body gracefully landing in the center of the courtyard, his arms relaxed, 

letting go of Cheng TianYang.

Cheng TianYang still clung to the other person, wrapping his arms around Si Cang Qing's neck, burying his head 

in his shoulder, his muffled voice reaching Si Cang Qing's ears, "The old man has passed away, brother will 

definitely insist on going back..."

After hesitating for a moment, "I won't go to pay respects to the old man. I can't rest easy about my brother, so, 

Your Majesty, could you personally accompany my brother to Hongcheng..."

After finishing, Cheng TianYang leaned against Si Cang Qing's shoulder, eyes tightly shut.

He knew that his request was willful and excessive; however, he understood his elder brother's actions were 

inevitable. Previously, he had concealed the fact that Cheng Ce was critically ill. Now that Cheng Ce has 

passed away, no matter how disheartened Cheng TianBi was towards that person, he could not accept not seeing 

Cheng Ce for the last time.

After all, Cheng TianBi once admired and loved her father so much.

Upon hearing Cheng TianYang's request, Si Cang Qing fell silent for a moment.

Thinking that Si Cang Qing was unwilling, Cheng TianYang became a bit anxious, quickly raised his head, 

and stared at Si Cang Qing, "Your Majesty, my brother's health is not good. To catch up with the old man for 

the funeral, we must travel day and night..."

The voice carried a tone of request, "Besides you, I don't trust anyone else, Your Majesty..."

"Okay." Si Cang Qing coldly and decisively interrupted Cheng TianYang's prepared lengthy persuasion.

Stunned for a moment, Cheng TianYang was somewhat taken aback, "Your Majesty, you agreed?"

"Mm." Si Cang Qing slightly nodded, looking behind Cheng TianYang, his gaze still cold.

Actually, he was already planning to send someone to secretly visit Hong Cheng Kingdom after going to 

Nanjing. Since Cheng Ce died suddenly, he had to go for an early visit. He also knew that Cheng TianBi 

definitely couldn't stay here at ease and would be indifferent to Cheng Ce's death. So, even if Cheng TianYang 

didn't make this request, he would still do it.

However, this southern tour has been temporarily halted. The originally planned investigation into the truth of 

Tianwaitian has also been postponed for the time being. Compared to the actions of Yuwen Fengchun and that 

mysterious person, the actions of Cheng TianYi afterwards are more important.

Moreover, Si Cang Qing believes that Qi Shuangran, as the master of the Piaomiao Palace, is certainly not 

someone who does nothing.

"Qing, Yang'er?"

A hoarse voice echoed in the empty night. Cheng TianYang turned around and looked at the person standing at 

the entrance of the flower hall not far away. "Brother..."

He happily ran up to Cheng TianBi, beaming with a smile, and said, "You're still not asleep!"

Furrowing his brows slightly, Cheng TianBi's voice turned serious, "Yang'er, how much alcohol did you drink?"

"No, not much."

Saying this, his body swayed slightly, but Cheng TianBi quickly steadied the other person with his quick 

reflexes and sighed helplessly, "You can't even stand properly, and you still want more? Yang'er, this place is 

unfamiliar to you. Running around alone and drinking so much wine..."

"Brother, I'm sorry." Cheng TianYang quickly admitted his mistake and obediently stood with his head down.

"You," Cheng TianBi was blocked from speaking, so he could only smile helplessly, looked at Si Cang Qing, 

and whispered, "Qing, thank you for your help."

Si Cang Qing shook his head, turned around, and walked towards his room.

"Yang'er, I'll walk you back to your room!"

Cheng TianBi was just about to help Cheng TianYang back to the house when she heard a cold yet familiar 

voice float over, "Set off early tomorrow morning."

Stunned for a moment, Cheng TianBi found it unbelievable, "Tomorrow? Didn't you say before..."

"Brother," Cheng TianYang interrupted the other party's doubts. He knew that Si Cang Qing's words were 

directed at him - he would take advantage of tonight to explain to Cheng TianBi.

The capital of Hongcheng Kingdom is not close to here, and moreover, the further south you go, the more 

mountainous roads there are, which will greatly delay the journey.

"Brother," Cheng TianYang looked into the other's gentle eyes, "I... have something to tell you..."

Gently pushing the door open, Si Cang Qing walked silently towards the inner room. The candlelight shone 

through the partition.

After pausing for a moment, Si Cang Qing knew that Feng Lan was probably still awake. Was he waiting for 

him again?

"Master?" Feng Lan put down the secret letter in his hand tiredly. Just when he was about to take a rest, he 

found that Si Cang Qing had quietly returned at some point and was leaning against the partition door, staring 

at her.

"Have you found Tianyang?" Feng Lan hurried forward.

Si Cang Qing nodded almost imperceptibly, reached out and picked up Feng Lan who came in front of him, 

then strode towards the bed.

"Master," Feng Lan said with a blush on his face, a little embarrassed, "I haven't arranged the shadow guard 

matters yet..."

Si Cang Qing kissed his chattering mouth and said vaguely, "Continue tomorrow."

Feng Lan seemed to be resisting but also welcoming the kiss. He was almost unable to breathe due to the kiss 

and finally managed to escape. He pushed the person on top of him slightly, his breathing unsteady, 

"I... I haven't washed up yet..."

"Let's take a shower together later."

Si Cang Qing replied hurriedly, and no longer gave the other party any room to breathe, and did whatever he 

wanted on this flexible male body.

◇Cang◇Huan◇Seven◇Palace◇

"Master..."

In the bath, Feng Lan leaned weakly against Si Cang Qing's embrace, allowing him to wash away the traces 

on his body. Feeling the man's fingers gently and cautiously probing into that secret place, his face uncontrollably 

flushed.

Some enjoyment, some shame.

Such things have been done countless times, yet he still cannot remain calm. Feng Lan, deceiving himself, 

closed his eyes and avoided looking at the person, speaking to distract himself, "Is there something on your 

mind, master?"

He can sense every little subtle emotion of Si Cang Qing—this must be the tacit understanding formed over 

many years of being together!

Upon hearing this, Si Cang Qing's hand movements paused slightly, and then he responded ambiguously, 

"Hmm."

Feng Lan quickly opened his eyes, raised his head, and gazed at Si Cang Qing's face. Under the steam, 

the coldness faded a bit, and a hint of softness appeared. He murmured, "What happened?"

Gently pulling Feng Lan into his embrace, Si Cang Qing said softly, "Tomorrow I'll make a trip to Hongcheng, 

you should return to the capital first." He couldn't investigate the matters of Tianwaitian himself for now, but he 

couldn't leave them unattended either, so he naturally entrusted them to Feng Lan.

Feng Lan was somewhat taken aback.

Seeing his expression, Si Cang Qing lowered his head and gently kissed his cheek, "I'll be back soon."

"No, I..." Feng Lan opened his mouth but quickly stopped. His gaze, which had been fixed on the other person's 

eyes, slightly shifted downwards—landing on Si Cang Qing's neck, where there was a row of deep bite marks.

Suddenly, a sharp pain pierced through his eyes, like being pricked by needles, striking hard when he least 

expected it. The scenery before him was hazy, shrouded in mist, or perhaps something else entirely.

Si Cang Qing had a slight doubt; he naturally couldn't see the bite mark left by Cheng TianYang on his neck. 

However, seeing Feng Lan's stunned and horrified expression, he couldn't help but softly ask, his words 

revealing his genuine concern, "Lan, you..."

"Master," Feng Lan suddenly pounced into Si Cang Qing's arms, nearly hitting his chin.

"Lan?" Having never seen Feng Lan in such a disheveled state, Si Cang Qing was somewhat puzzled and 

even more worried, "What's wrong with you?"

Feng Lan didn't answer; he just fiercely bit the row of teeth marks on Si Cang Qing's neck.

With a muffled grunt, Si Cang Qing slightly furrowed his brows but did not push the other person away, if it 

was something Feng Lan wanted to do, he never stopped him. Moreover, Feng Lan's emotions were very off 

today.

Worry, hard to shake off.

Being with Feng Lan is always very comfortable and relaxing. Initially, he was just satisfied with Feng Lan's 

gentle and quiet personality, but over time, his gentle and patient demeanor gradually won my heart.

Although Si Cang Qing was still somewhat naive about emotions, he clearly understood: he liked Feng Lan.

Recalling the past, Cheng TianYang had also bitten him like this. Si Cang Qing vaguely thought: If biting him 

can drive away the bad mood, then bite away!

If Feng Lan knew of such thoughts, I really wouldn't know whether to feel happy or sad.

"Master!" Feng Lan exclaimed, flustered and panicked, "I, you,..."

Looking at the bright red bite mark, Feng Lan's eyes gradually became moist. "I'm sorry, Master. I didn't 

mean to... Why didn't you push me away... I... I..."

"Lan," Si Cang Qing gently held him in his arms, patted his back softly, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing." 

This little pain is nothing at all.

"Master..." Feng Lan raised his eyes, looking at the other person with a dazed expression, his usually icy 

gaze now showing a hint of melting tenderness.

Si Cang Qing pecked and kissed his eyes, again and again.

After a long time, he finally loosened his grip on Feng Lan and said softly, "Come with me to Hongcheng!" 

It was his oversight; ever since he ascended the throne, it seemed he had always been apart from this person.

Feng Lan forced a smile and gently shook her head, "No need."

Whether it is Si Cang Qing or he who now controls the Canghuan Shadow Guard, there are many things that 

they cannot escape from. This time, Si Cang Qing went to Hongcheng, but it wasn't entirely for personal 

reasons, right?

Feng Lan also knew about Cheng Ce's death. So, he already understood Si Cang Qing's purpose for this trip...

The hidden dangers in his heart were showing signs of becoming real, especially... Feng Lan's eyes dimmed 

as he stared blankly at the somewhat horrifying bite marks on Si Cang Qing's neck.

He is a shadow guard. When he was trained, he understood that any decision made by his master could not 

be disobeyed or questioned. He constantly reminds himself not to forget his duty.

He thought he could endure, could accept everything that might happen in the future.

But in the end... jealousy, the ugliness inherent in human nature, is rooted deep in his heart.

Leaning against Si Cang Qing, Feng Lan's hand, which was submerged in the water, tightly clenched into 

a fist, as if wanting to crush the surging emotions within.

"Lan." Si Cang Qing gently called out, "It's late, let's rest." He then intended to carry Feng Lan.

"Master," Feng Lan pulled down Si Cang Qing's hand and proactively kissed his lips, his hands also becoming 

active.

Si Cang Qing was somewhat surprised and somewhat worried. However, Feng Lan, who was usually passive 

and reserved during intimate moments, was unusually bold this time, passionately stirring Si Cang Qing's 

desires, leaving him no room to think.

"Lan..." After all, he was a young man full of vigor, and given Si Cang Qing's always abundant energy, he no 

longer rejected Feng Lan's sudden advances, instead taking the initiative.

"Master, can I...?"

Hearing Feng Lan's murmurs by his ear, Si Cang Qing suppressed the raging desire within him and asked in 

a deep voice, "Hmm?"

"Can I..."

Feng Lan repeatedly murmured these few words softly.

Si Cang Qing waited patiently; what Feng Lan wanted to say must be related to his unusual behavior today!

With both hands passionately roaming over Si Cang Qing's body, Feng Lan said again, "Is it possible..."

"Come back early."

"Okay."

Si Cang Qing's kiss fell in response, no longer suppressing his needs. This time, the lovemaking was more 

intense than ever before, but also...

Cold-hearted to the core.

Feng Lan closed his eyes, enduring that person's fiery passion...

Actually, what he wanted to say wasn't "come back early."

He wanted to ask, could he not accompany Cheng TianBi back to Hongcheng Kingdom? He intuitively felt 

that after this departure, some things would no longer belong to him.

He wanted to ask, could it be possible that he could be the only one to have all the care given to himself. 

Si Cang Qing's indifference was not the most terrible thing, but Si Cang Qing's gentleness was destined to 

lead to sadness for many people.

However, Feng Lan held back and said nothing.

His gentleness and tolerance are his nature, the result of Shadow Guard's training, and the original reason 

why Si Cang Qing was attracted to him.

However, his gentleness and forbearance ultimately led to such suffocating sadness.

Sometimes a moment creates an eternity. When I suddenly realized it, time had already passed.
