“I’ll think about whether or not to take it.”

  “Why do you still need to think about it?”

  “Because my gut tells me that it won’t be a good thing to take it.”

  The old man was lost for words again. Why did the man have such a great sixth sense?

  “I’ve told you everything you need to know. Please work harder on the Sky Splitting Mirror.” The old man closed his eyes and resumed his meditation.

  Feng Qingtian returned to Gu Bailu with the ball of memories. Seeing that he didn’t look good, Gu Bailu asked, “What did my master say to you?”

  “He offered me a little something. Let’s go back.”

  “I’ll say goodbye to my master.” Gu Bailu would have liked to stay longer, but she knew that she wasn’t welcomed.

  Before she could get close, she bumped into an invisible wall. Obviously, her master refused to see her.

  Gu Bailu stomped her foot in anger.

  “He’s meditating. He won’t hear anything even if you talk to him.”

  Left with no choice, Gu Bailu could only return to the boat in anger. Why would her master speak only to Feng Qingtian and not see her at all?

  “It seems that my master likes you more.”

  “Well, he sure likes to threaten me.” Feng Qingtian didn’t think that was a good thing.

  “Exactly what did you talk about? How did he threaten you?” Gu Bailu was rather curious.

  Feng Qingtian opened his hand and revealed a glowing ball. “This contains my memories. He said that you murdered my former lover, and that I would hate you after I take this.”

  Gu Bailu’s heart jumped.

  The thing she had been dreading most was happening.

  Was that why her master told Miyasi that they wouldn’t end up together?

  “But I don’t believe it. Do you want me to take it?” Feng Qingtian actually wanted to take it, but he was interested in Gu Bailu’s opinion.

  “What’s done can’t be undone. If I’m really the murderer, just do what you must.” Gu Bailu felt even more awful than being driven away by her master.

  She thought that she had protected herself well and hadn’t given Feng Qingtian her heart.

  But she knew that her heart had been gradually lost to him as they continued to spend time together.

  “Silly girl, trust me. That’s absolutely not it. He was only bluffing.” Feng Qingtian hugged her and said, “Why can’t you trust me?”

  “My master can see through everything in the world.”

  “Really? Why didn’t he see it coming that the Gu family would be wiped out?” Feng Qingtian snorted.

  “He had already been forced to leave the Gu family by then.”

  “I trust nothing but my instincts. You’re the person I’m looking for. I’m 100% positive. So, don’t worry, alright?” Feng Qingtian kissed her lips.

  He would never believe that someone he was so crazy about was his enemy.

  “Then…… You should take it after we return to the continent.” Gu Bailu was still worried.

  She didn’t think that her master would say that they would break up for no reason.

  However, Feng Qingtian seemed so confident, too.

  She was scared, and wanted to delay it so that she could better prepare herself.

  “If you’re really scared, I can just leave it behind. The memories of my previous lives are nothing.” Feng Qingtian noticed her concern.

  He wanted to absorb the memories because he hoped to confirm that she was the person he had always been looking for, so that she wouldn’t worry that she would be replaced when his former lover did show up.

  However, if she was worried about the memories, he may as well give them up.

  He was glad that she was worried, because it meant that she cared about their relationship and didn’t want to leave him so easily, even though they had gotten off to a rocky start.

  “No…… You should take it, once we reach the continent.” Gu Bailu wanted him to take it, but she was truly worried that he would become her enemy after that.

  However, while she wasn’t good enough to defeat him yet, she could still escape.

  She wouldn’t be scared, as long as she could run.

  Feng Qingtian saw the mistrust in her eyes, but he knew that she wanted him to regain his former memories.

  When she was asleep that night, Feng Qingtian took the ball of memories.

  The ball was digested and the memories flowed into his head. Feng Qingtian closed his eyes and fell asleep.

  The next morning, Feng Qingtian looked at Gu Bailu, who was still asleep, with complicated feelings.

  He lowered his head and kissed her gently. Did he have to do that to her?

  Woken up by the ticklish feeling, Gu Bailu looked at him drowsily. “The sun isn’t out yet. Let me sleep a while longer.”

  Feng Qingtian pulled her into his arms and said, “You can sleep.”

  He gently stroked her back, and Gu Bailu mumbled something and closed her eyes again in his arms.

  Feng Qingtian hugged her tightly, almost as if he was trying to swallow her, so that he wouldn’t worry about losing her anymore.

  Feeling uncomfortable, Gu Bailu put her feet on his hip and complained in a low voice.

  Feng Qingtian smiled affectionately and kissed her feet, which were smooth and adorable.

  Gu Bailu opened her eyes and glared at him. “What are you doing? I’m trying to get some sleep.”

  Nobody would be in a good mood when their sleep was disturbed.

  Feng Qingtian held her feet and said, “Even your feet are so adorable. They look like the lotus roots in Brilliant Pond.”

  “What Brilliant Pond? Why are you holding my feet? It’s stupid.” Gu Bailu’s head cleared. She was lost for words as Feng Qingtian held her feet like treasure.

  It was still the break of dawn. What was this guy trying to do instead of sleeping?

  Feng Qingtian leaned in close and nibbled her earlobe. “Lulu, I want you to help me with your feet.”

  Gu Bailu was speechless.

  She just knew that the man was up to no good.

  Their time on the boat was truly boring. They hadn’t even brought Qin Shou with them on this trip. That was probably why this man wanted to play with her like a toy.

  “How do you do it with feet?” Wrapped in his arms, Gu Bailu savored his manly scent.

  She could only smell his clothes, but there was a splendid masculinity coming off him which made her feel safe.
