Five thousand year old monk in the entertainment industry (9): You are my inner demon…

The director looked at the guests chatting and laughing, and continued reading the following content: “Cooking skills, online games… Those who chose cooking skills probably want to take the opportunity to eat some of Chu Feng’s food, right?”

Everyone couldn’t help laughing.

“And then there’s the stills and the dancing… huh? Did Xie Luo write the stills?”

The elegant woman nodded generously and readily admitted, “I want to learn the photography skills of Sister Ya and Si Qi up close. This will be helpful to me.”

The director smiled and said, “I thought you wanted to win the championship with this.”

The elegant woman said nonchalantly, “Then I will write about weaving dolls. I will definitely get first place.”

The director thought about it and collected the notes written by several people. He said, “These notes will be used several times in the future. Choose the first room first.”

He stacked the papers carefully and asked the elegant woman standing closest to him to draw the lottery.

The elegant woman picked one up at random, spread it out and took a look, then said helplessly, “I lose. I don’t know how to play any musical instrument at all.”

When everyone took a closer look, the word “Whatever” suddenly jumped out before their eyes, and they said to Li Manman happily: “It seems we are in for a treat.”

Zhou Yuan: “I don’t know how to play any musical instruments, can I sing?”

The director welcomed it very much: “Of course.”

Li Siran: “But who sings well and who sings badly is very subjective, how can we rank them?”

The director thought for a moment and said, “Then let’s vote.”

Everyone nodded and accepted the proposal.

However, when the director was about to take everyone to the instrument room he had prepared in advance, Chu Feng told the director that this was his private instrument collection room and they could use it.

Thinking that the musical instruments in the boss’s house would certainly not be worse than those of the program team, the director gladly thanked Chu Feng for his friendly sponsorship, and everyone went directly into the building behind them.

Standing at the open door of the collection room, everyone was dazzled and shocked by the dazzling array of musical instruments inside.

Li Manman was very familiar with the market in this area. She was stunned and said infatuatedly: “Oh my God…”

Lawyer Zhou asked, “Are these musical instruments expensive?”

Upon hearing this, Li Manman’s voice, which had always been reserved, rose unusually, and she said excitedly, “How can you say whether this is expensive or not? This is a treasure that is so valuable that it cannot be bought even if you want it!!”

She carefully approached an ancient Guqin, took a deep breath, her eyes seemed to be shining, and said to Chu Feng: “Could this be the instrument that the Guqin master Si Qi used more than 1,700 years ago?!”

People living in this world had long been accustomed to the endless number of people with the same name and surname Si Qi appearing in history, and they accepted it well without showing any strange reaction.

However, Sister Ya, who was standing aside with an impatient look on her face, suddenly frowned, pondering the details of the same name and surname, and looked back and forth between Si Qi and Chu Feng with uncertain eyes.

Si Qi, the famous man who had been heard of in all walks of life for thousands of years… Si Qi who was particularly concerned by Chu Feng… Chu Feng was a cultivator… Then, could this Si Qi in front of him also be…? !

Sister Ya’s face unconsciously became flustered, her eyes flickered, and she seemed a little panicked.

Chu Feng heard Li Manman’s question and shyly avoided Si Qi’s teasing gaze and said slowly, “Yes.”

Everyone suddenly showed a look of shock and looked around at the many musical instruments. Now they completely understood what Li Manman meant by “priceless and invaluable”.

How could this be a musical instrument room? It was clearly a museum!!

Li Manman looked at the guqin and didn’t even dare to reach out to touch it, for fear of accidentally damaging the antique, which would be a huge sin.

Standing in front of a piano, she carefully confirmed that it was a foreign brand piano and not something that looked like it was made hundreds of years ago. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Can I use this piano?”

“Can.”

Many people gathered around Li Manman, saying expectantly, “This is my first time listening to live music!”

“Yeah, I only heard about it on my phone and on TV before…”

“Manman, how about a song we’ve all heard?”

Li Manman nodded and said, “Then let’s go with ‘To Alice’.”

After saying that, she sat on the piano bench, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. After a moment, she opened her eyes, and her light fingertips touched and stroked the keys. The smooth and beautiful piano sound rang in everyone’s ears, instantly triggering the memory engraved in everyone’s DNA.

Cell phone ringtones, exam reminder tones, library closing tones…

Many people couldn’t help but burst out laughing. It seemed like Li Manman had become a different person when she was playing. It seemed that the quiet and shy girl before had instantly become noble and elegant, and her temperament had been sublimated.

When the song ended, the piano room was filled with applause. Li Manman stood up gracefully and returned the greeting in an elegant and reserved manner. Then, with a slightly red face, she said shyly, “Thank you.”

Lawyer Zhou praised: “You look so different when you play the piano. You look like a princess!”

Li Manman waved her hands in embarrassment: “That’s too exaggerated…”

“It’s true!” People said one after another: “How should I put it? Although I don’t quite understand this song, I just feel that it has an inexplicable aura!”

Li Manman pursed her lips and smiled, “Classical music is like this… It’s not like pop music that you can understand right away. Most of it requires understanding…”

Everyone was talking and laughing there, but Chu Feng and Si Qi just stood there calmly without any reaction.

Seeing this, Li Siran provoked Si Qi, “Si Qi, what do you think? Is such beautiful music also ‘unbearable to the ears’?”

Everyone subconsciously turned around to look at Si Qi and Chu Feng, who had calm expressions, as if they had not been part of the whole thing. They just felt that these two people were out of tune with the atmosphere and were very disappointed.

“Chu Feng, didn’t you want to listen to Manman’s performance just now? Why don’t you come and praise Manman? She plays really well!”

Li Manman looked at Chu Feng shyly, their fingers entwined awkwardly.

“Si Qi, why are you silent? You usually talk so much, but now that it’s your turn, you’re scared, right? Ha!” Li Siran said with disdain, “What I hate most is people like you who only talk but don’t do anything and think they’re so great!”

The elegant woman said unhappily: “Li Siran, why do you always talk like this!”

Li Siran snorted, “I just hate him! Don’t you all hate him?”

Elegant woman: “I have never met Si Qi before, nor have I been hurt by him, so why should I hate him? Compared to rumors on the Internet, I believe in seeing with my own eyes.”

“But he himself has no talent and he looks down on Manman’s performance!” Li Siran challenged loudly.

“I don’t know whether he has the ability or not, but no one says that we have to applaud when we hear music. Everyone has their own ideas.” The elegant woman looked at Li Manman, and Li Manman nodded timidly to show her understanding.

Li Siran said angrily: “Xie Luo, are you attracted by Chu Feng’s money and Si Qi’s fame, so you speak to them like that! I am so disappointed in you!”

“Whatever you say.” The elegant woman said expressionlessly, “The audience must be applauding your performance, but so what? I don’t rely on fame to make a living. I can live well without flattering others or deliberately pandering to them.”

Li Siran’s face turned pale with anger at this remark, and he angrily said, “Why do you slander me like this!”

The elegant woman was too lazy to pay attention to this person and said to Si Qi and the others, “Let’s move on to the next person’s performance.”

Si Qi chuckled at the elegant woman’s words, and his restless inner demons were slightly relieved.

His inner demons could only be suppressed when he came into contact with such people.

“Si Qi…”

Chu Feng looked at Si Qi expectantly. Si Qi chuckled softly, and his laughter was somewhat doting. He walked to the Guqin and said to Chu Feng, “It’s rare that you can find it.”

Chu Feng: “I know you like it.”

Under the panicked gazes of several guests, Si Qi unceremoniously stretched out his finger and plucked the Guqin. The clear and distant sound of the Guqin lingered, as if it could reach the depths of people’s hearts. It was indescribably gentle and pleasant to the ears.

The sound was so shocking.

The elegant woman couldn’t help but say: “Si Qi, this is an ancient artifact that is thousands of years old, don’t damage it…”

It was not a question of money, but if this Guqin breaks, music lovers all over the world would be heartbroken.

Moreover, the audience would definitely rejoice that Si Qi had done another stupid thing, adding another crime to his charge and laughing at him.

Si Qi: “Don’t worry, it won’t break down.”

After all, the ancient Guqin had been nurtured by the spiritual power of cultivators for hundreds of years, and the body of the Guqin was already attached with a layer of spiritual charm. Not only was it difficult to damage, but the sound it produced also had an invisible force that went straight to the soul, so just now, Si Qi had just played a simple note, and it had shocked the people present.

Several people present felt a little painful as they watched Si Qi touch the body of the Guqin. Netizens were even more abusive, saying that Si Qi was really an eyesore no matter what he did. The Guqin that the Guqin master himself had used was no longer an antique that had become valuable due to the passage of time, but a national treasure that had been endowed with a higher historical value!

If this was ruined by a traffic star, even if Si Qi sold himself, he couldn’t make up for this regrettable mistake!!

Si Qi: “Musical instruments are meant to be played. Just looking at them and not using them is the greatest disrespect to them.”

Zhou Yuan, who was pure-minded, was immediately convinced and nodded in agreement: “You are right!”

Li Siran rolled his eyes, almost laughing at Si Qi’s ability to make excuses.

But this Guqin was Chu Feng’s property. He was happy to let Si Qi destroy the treasure. Could the people around him still stop him?

She sarcastically said, “Let’s see what you can play. Guqin skills need a long time to hone. You can tell whether you can play it or not at a glance. Why are you pretending to be so relaxed… You are pretending to be calm now, but you will be slapped in the face later!”

The elegant woman shouted angrily: “That’s enough!”

Li Siran said aggrievedly: “Why are you so fierce? You care so much about Si Qi, do you like him and think he is good-looking? You are too superficial…”

The online audience immediately became noisy because of Li Siran’s pitiful appearance, and accused the elegant woman of being blind and always speaking in Si Qi’s favor, which was annoying to watch.

Si Qi didn’t care about what others were doing. He took the cushion and knelt in front of the piano table very naturally.

The posture was as if it had repeated this movement countless times; it was indescribably graceful and beautiful, ethereal like a fairy.

Si Qi’s slender fingers stroked his long-lost friend. From the slightly vibrating strings, Si Qi felt a slight joy and smiled at Chu Feng, “What do you want to hear?”

Chu Feng looked at Si Qi deeply and said solemnly: “Feng Ling Du.”

Si Qi smiled, while Li Manman and the guests explained, “It is the ‘Feng Ling Du’ by the Guqin Master! It is said that the Guqin Master had a close friend, and this piece of music was written specifically for that friend! It is still the best music to express friendship today. It can be said that it is a song that can only be passed down for thousands of years, like a mountain stream seeking a soulmate.”

Zhou Yuan continued, “It is said that this song had lyrics, but because only the Guqin master and his good friend were present at the time, others only heard a few lines from a distance outside the pavilion and passed them down. To this day, historians have still not found the true content of the lyrics…”

Lawyer Zhou suddenly recalled and said, “Is it the line ‘talking and laughing with the wind, traveling the world with a sword’ and ‘the young man here is as brilliant as a brilliant man’? I have seen it in textbooks!”

“Yes, that’s it. People only heard one or two lines clearly back then, and each line is extremely classic. It’s a pity that we didn’t know the whole thing…”

Si Qi found it quite funny to see people talking about Si Qi in front of him.

He sat quietly in front of the guqin table, and habitually stretched out his hand and brushed his sleeves – of course, he brushed nothing away as he was wearing a shirt, but it was such a simple action, but it made Si Qi, who was already elegant, look even more ancient.

That was not a temperament that could be created by imitation alone. It was a classical demeanor that came naturally from the inside out, in every gesture. It only took one glance to see the extraordinary aspects of it, and it made people’s eyes light up subconsciously.

The next second, Si Qi’s wrist dropped and his fingertips brushed across the strings.

In an instant, the ethereal and clear piano music drew people into the artistic conception of the music, and they could no longer remember anything else.

The simple, mellow and highly penetrating piano sounds passed through people’s ears and reached their hearts directly without any stagnation.

They stared at the scene in front of them, as if they saw an immortal sitting cross-legged on a high mountain, with clouds as his harp and wind as his music. His fingertips casually tuned the world’s music to play tunes, sometimes the sound of springs gurgling or like the sound of pendants, and sometimes the sound of music lingering in the beams for three days.

This was not a piece of music that could be played by ordinary people. Even a layman could hear the difference in an instant and fully understand the meaning of “This song should only exist in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the world?”

Every second was an enjoyment.

Si Qi smiled faintly and sang a low song.

The clear voice slowly rang out, making the heavenly sound even more sublime, as if the missing space was finally filled and reached perfection.

“Pick a handful of flowers, twist them into tea.”

“Dewdrops adorn the dimly lit moon, reflecting the morning glow…”

“Grinding an ink stick, a painting emerges.”

“Separated as if from a past life, as if in a dream.”

Si Qi lowered his gaze at the guqin in front of him, and time seemed to momentarily return to the past. He gently played the guqin, smiled softly, sat facing his dear friend, and sang softly.

“Just at this moment, a young man”

“Fireworks are splendid in dreams…”

“Years have passed since then.”

“Never told you…”

The melodious and graceful tune passed through everyone’s heart, and the slow and gentle notes passed through the soul like a spring breeze, knocking on the softest place in people’s hearts.

As the notes flow, they seemed to see through time and space, seeing the pure and flawless friendship, recalling the arrogance and beauty of their youth, and seeing the smiles on the faces of their friends who once spent time together and talked about everything.

They were unaware of the passage of time. They were just immersed in it, forgetting all the worries in their hearts and recalling all the most pleasant things in their hearts.

The song ended, and with the end of the last note, Si Qi slowly took a breath, his heart still surging with rich and vivid emotions, and he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Chu Feng’s eyes were red, and the demon in his body became more ferocious and difficult to control because of that memory. He suppressed the crazy impulse in his heart and said in a trembling voice: “Brother Si…”

Si Qi raised his head and looked at him, then smiled after a moment, “Why, after so many years, you find it hard to even smile when I play it for you again?”

Chu Feng shook his head quickly and whispered, “How could it be…”

As they spoke, the gentle sound of nature still lingered in everyone’s hearts, making them close their eyes unconsciously, savoring the lingering sound in their hearts.

Li Manman burst into tears without knowing when, and murmured in a low voice: “The sound of the guqin will not lie…”

How could a person who could play such music be as terrible as people say?

She sniffed, wiped the two lines of tears on her face with her hands, and looked at Si Qi with eyes full of longing.

This yearning did not carry any ambiguous flavor, it was pure without a trace of impurities, and it was so clear that one was speechless.

The elegant woman at the side sighed, and said with deep admiration: “No wonder Si Qi looked down on that performance. You were performing for a commercial show at that time, right? Now that I think about it, that song is indeed nice to listen to, but compared to Si Qi’s, it is too noisy and exaggerated…”

Li Siran was about to retort, but the usually quiet Li Manman interrupted her and said excitedly, “Yes! Si Qi is amazing! I am really ashamed of myself! Before this, I always thought that music should be displayed noblely in the palace, and it is an elegant art that only a few people can appreciate! Now after listening to Si Qi’s performance, I understand that truly amazing music can bring anyone directly into the palace to feel the true charm of music… I am so far behind Si Qi!! “

After hearing this, everyone present nodded subconsciously. Li Manman’s words simply expressed the thoughts of all of them in words.

Otherwise, they couldn’t say anything incoherent to praise it except “it sounds really good, it sounds so good”.

Professionals were indeed professionals.

Zhou Yuan laughed and said, “Si Qi, you are too modest! Is this still considered ‘knowing a little bit’? It’s obviously ‘knowing a hundred million points’! I think the music you just played is the most beautiful music I have ever heard in my life!”

Si Qi didn’t care much: “It’s just okay.”

Everyone said Si Qi was too modest, but Si Qi said, “It’s just okay. I won’t belittle others, nor will I deliberately exalt myself.”

When everyone heard what he said, they remembered that Si Qi had been ridiculed for not understanding music and making irresponsible remarks because he said the music sung and played by those famous musicians was unbearable to the ears. Now thinking about it, he was absolutely right.

To a great man like Si Qi, the music sounded devoid of any emotion and was played simply for the purpose of making money and gaining favor. So what was wrong with saying it was noisy?

This was not a technical problem, but an attitude problem. Didn’t you see that Si Qi didn’t say a single bad thing about Li Manman just now, he just listened quietly without saying anything!

Li Manman apologized to Si Qi: “I’m sorry, I don’t even know your musical level, but I have a prejudice against you just because of a few words…”

As she spoke, she glanced at Li Siran, who was standing beside her with clenched teeth and an extremely excited expression, and said, “I will never believe those messy rumors on the Internet again. I am really sorry for what happened before!”

Si Qi still said the same thing: “It doesn’t matter, I don’t care.”

Everyone felt embarrassed and helpless because of Si Qi’s attitude.

They even couldn’t help but have an incredible thought in my mind, wondering if there really was a reason why Si Qi had caused so many troubles before.

But……

How was that possible?

When he offended people, it was truly a crazy attack from all angles without any blind spots. To say he was arrogant and dismissive of others was an understatement; he was domineering and unyielding, with not a hint of politeness.

It’s like a music master can look down on someone who makes money from singing, but there’s no reason to look down on Emperor Qin or Emperor Wu, scholars, or painters, unless he has also been an emperor, has done academic research, and is very good at painting. But how is that even possible?

It was just a coincidence…

Netizens were very satisfied with the scene just now, and couldn’t help but praise that the song was really amazing. They had never heard such beautiful music in their lives. It seemed that they had hallucinations just by listening to it, and recalled many past events.

But then there were some haters who were not willing to give in and provoked, saying that even if Si Qi was talented, it wouldn’t wash away all the black spots on him! Artists with bad character were also not worthy of respect!!

As a result, the online war of words surrounding Si Qi escalated again. Si Qi’s performance, which was definitely worthy of being passed down through the ages, also continued to ferment and spread due to the heated discussions among netizens, attracting more and more netizens to watch.

It was not until this moment that everyone suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with their understanding of Si Qi. There were many things that did not seem to be what they thought.

The director was so excited about this. Seeing that his show had dominated several trending searches, he quickly asked the guests, “Who is the next performer?”

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

With Si Qi’s example, many “tiles” felt embarrassed to follow suit for a while.

Si Qi said to Chu Feng: “Come on.”

Chu Feng paused for a long time without any response. His dazed look seemed a little strange at first glance. Hearing this, he slowly came back to his senses, responded, sat down in front of a guzheng, and said to Si Qi: “This is for you… The title of the song is “Ru Ji”

Si Qi: “Okay.”

“…” Chu Feng’s eyes moved away from Si Qi, he lowered his head slightly, and brushed the strings with his fingertips.

At the same time, elegant and ethereal piano sounds rang out. When everyone heard the unexpectedly beautiful music, they all looked incredulous.

Chu Feng’s skills were not inferior to Si Qi’s at all, and even because of the deep love he put into it at this moment, it seemed more genuine and pure.

A deep and magnetic voice slowly sounded, resounding throughout the world.

“All the way, heavy snowflakes fell as I embarked on my journey home.”

“A few peach branches outside the door, like old friends.”

“In the snow, your eyes and brows remain unchanged, with a deep smile at the corners of your lips.”

“A greeting, but with a slightly trembling voice….”

Everyone was immersed in Chu Feng’s music and lyrics, and was so shocked by the sad and nostalgic emotions in the song that they were speechless for a long time.

At this moment, they finally realized that the relationship between Si Qi and Chu Feng was not as dirty as everyone imagined. It was pure, true, and even sad…

“The promise of companionship and protection that year has turned into mere dust.”

“Carrying the heart of youth”

“I have never betrayed your deep kindness…”

“Worldly disputes, drifting through the red dust.”

“May your future be smooth, and may you no longer be deeply attached to the past…”

Just like what the song sid, the pain that could never be undone after missing someone; the sadness and loss when you look back and find that the other person is not an old friend after passing by each other again and again; being in a prosperous and noisy world, but your heart is like a deserted city…

This word was really well written.

Anyone who heard it would be deeply immersed in it and understand Chu Feng’s inner sorrow.

Chu Feng slowly raised his head, and where his eyes fell was the person he had been looking for in the song, standing quietly facing him.

The song ended, the lingering sound lingered. His brows relaxed, and he stood up and said, “Are you satisfied with this song? I sang it especially for you.”

Si Qi didn’t say anything.

The song was indeed a good one, exceptionally nice to listen to.

But, a song that expresses farewell and sadness, sung here for Si Qi, didn’t it seem like he was blaming Si Qi for leaving without saying goodbye and not visiting him for such a long time?

He could only mumble: “It’s ok… it sounds pretty good.”

Li Manman was going crazy: “You two… really make me feel like I learned all those years of music for nothing!”

The elegant woman exclaimed: “You really can’t judge a person by his appearance. I didn’t expect Chu Feng to be not only a good cook, but also so proficient in music.”

Lawyer Zhou applauded repeatedly, “Today is really an eye-opener. I am so lucky.”

Li Siran, who was standing by, pouted unhappily and kicked the ground with her toes in frustration, but she couldn’t find any point to cause trouble.

After watching these two performers, everyone finally understood that it was impossible to surpass them no matter what. The distance was too great, and they did not even think about competing with them.

A few people laughed and asked Li Manman to help with the accompaniment while they sang.

Li Manman had no airs of superiority as an artist and readily agreed. It was as if a group of good friends had gathered together for a concert, talking and laughing, and singing several songs in a harmonious atmosphere.

They were just strangers who had just met each other for a short time, but after this encounter, they suddenly became much more intimate and lively.

After the final ranking, Si Qi and Chu Feng shared a room, Lawyer Zhou and Zhou Yuan shared a room, the elegant woman shared a room with Li Manman, and Sister Ya shared a room with Li Siran.

The room Si Qi chose was the same as the one he lived in a thousand years ago, without any changes. He could still find a lot of memories from the details, it seemed that Chu Feng really cherished this fate, and he had not forgotten a single bit of it even after a thousand years.

Si Qi placed his luggage on the table in the room and said to Chu Feng behind him, “Did you choose this performance specifically to help me cleanse myself of the slander?”

“If you don’t do this, you don’t know how long you will be misunderstood by others.” Chu Feng seemed to be in a strange mood from just now. Now that they were alone in private, with only Si Qi and himself, he suddenly became even more frank and said angrily: “You have been like this since a thousand years ago. No matter what happens, you only want to develop in the worst direction, deliberately letting people you hate, hate you. Now you don’t care about arguing with others and being excluded and scolded by everyone. If you really want to change, this kind of thing doesn’t require much effort to explain!”

“Explain?” Si Qi said, “Do you know how many times this has happened to me?”

Chu Feng frowned and said nothing.

“At least more than twenty times.” Si Qi said: “And the funny thing is, no matter how much they slander me, betray me, and break my trust, they can’t pose any threat to me. Because they can’t kill me, and I just need to find a place to sleep. After a few decades, the people of that dynasty will die no matter how unwilling they are. Whether I help them stabilize their country or I am slandered and hunted by them, in the face of a long time, everything is meaningless.”

Si Qi said to Chu Feng: “I can’t bear grudges, I can’t even get angry, because the worst thing I can do to them is to kill them. But can their death erase my pain for the next few thousand years? No. My inner demons will not be appeased by their deaths, and may even become more persistent… So I can’t hate human nature, I’m just disappointed in human nature…”

Chu Feng’s eyes were red as he asked, “What about me? Are you disappointed in me too?”

When a human whom he had known for decades betrayed Si Qi, Si Qi hated him so much that he wanted to kill him. What’s more, he and Si Qi had known and accompanied each other for hundreds of years. It was no exaggeration to say that this human was the most important friend in his life.

His departure was the biggest blow to Si Qi.

Si Qi: “It’s impossible not to be angry.”

Chu Feng’s expression turned a little fierce.

Si Qi: “But I’m just angry.”

Chu Feng’s breathing stagnated, and after a moment his face was filled with panic. He lowered his head and was unable to face Si Qi.

Si Qi said in a deep voice: “If you had come to me with wounds all over your body to apologize, I would have forgiven you, but you were determined to stay away from me…”

“No!” Chu Feng raised his head and said angrily, “I had a demon in my heart at that time. What if the demon exploded and I did something to you? And didn’t you disappear and avoid seeing me afterwards?”

Si Qi raised his eyebrows: “You resolutely left me for that bastard emperor at that time. Even though you were betrayed by him, you still refused to come back to see me. I was so angry that the inner demon broke through the seal and was almost out of control. I was dormant for more than a hundred years before I suppressed it…”

Chu Feng looked angry and sad: “How could this happen? I thought you hated me to death and didn’t want to see me again!”

Si Qi had not expected that in a place that the original owner had no memory of, there would be such a strange and confusing situation. He said in a dumb voice, “I have a clear conscience. Why should I hide from you?”

He observed Chu Feng’s impulsive and irritable expression and said, “Has your inner demon not been eliminated yet?”

Chu Feng raised his eyes and looked at Si Qi with a slightly vicious look.

His voice came out from his teeth, “How to eliminate …”

He approached Si Qi step by step, and pressed him against the wall in Si Qi’s calm eyes, and said to him: “I have always wanted to see you, I have always wanted to see you! But you are so ruthless and don’t even give me a chance to explain! What did I do wrong? Didn’t I just trust others and leave you for a while? Do you hate me so much? Do you avoid me so much?! What do you want from me? What do you need to believe me?! Can I dig out my heart and give it to you? Then you will believe me, right?!”

Chu Feng’s eyes were bloodshot, veins on his forehead were bulging, and his expression was extremely terrifying. He stretched out his hand to dig out his heart, and his movements were ferocious and scary. Si Qi held it down, and with his other hand, he drew a calming talisman and stuck it on Chu Feng’s forehead, saying to him: “Okay, it’s okay, don’t worry…”

Chu Feng took a few breaths with heavy breathing. After a moment, he lowered his head in unbearable pain and put his chin on Si Qi’s shoulder. He didn’t want Si Qi to see his current appearance.

His voice was hoarse and heavy. “I really couldn’t control myself… I didn’t mean it that way… I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Brother Si… I…”

“It’s okay.” Si Qi patted Chu Feng’s back gently. “So you’ve been refusing to see me because of the inner demons you had back then? You’re so stupid. All the inner demons you had were because you felt sorry for others…”

“It’s not someone else… it’s you…” The Calming Talisman helped Chu Feng regain his sanity. He said uncomfortably: “After being betrayed by the emperor, the original demon in my heart had long disappeared. At that time, I wanted to escape to see you, but all the jailers outside the door disappeared, and the emperor’s head was thrown in front of the cell door… I realized that you have been secretly protecting me for so many years, protecting an ungrateful person like me. My life was saved by you, and I am ashamed of your kindness. I know how much you can’t accept betrayal and how much you hate treacherous people, but I still let you endure for so many years for someone like me… I really have no face to see you again…”

“So you have a demon in your heart, and if you can’t control it, it will explode like what happened just now?” Si Qi felt the body temperature of the person in front of him, and when Chu Feng’s movements stiffened for a moment, he gently hugged him and said to him: “It’s okay, I’m very strong. You don’t have to hide from me anymore…”

Chu Feng felt the soft touch in front of him, as if he could smell the elegant sandalwood fragrance coming from Si Qi’s body. He blushed and said angrily, “But I will become a burden to you…”

Si Qi: “It’s not a burden. After hearing your explanation, my inner demons have been alleviated a lot.”

Chu Feng was slightly startled, and after a moment he felt even more miserable and sad, with the inner demon stirring in his body, “As expected, your inner demon has become more serious over the years because of me…”

“What’s your idea?” Si Qi patted Chu Feng on the back in annoyance and said, “Alright, even if we meet again after a thousand years, don’t be shy like a little girl. Isn’t it better to forget the grudges with a smile?”

He pushed Chu Feng away, looked at Chu Feng’s blushing face, and said jokingly: “You are blushing!”

Chu Feng was stuttering, not knowing how to explain.

He was too embarrassed to say that he was blushing for some other reason.

Looking at Si Qi’s bright smile, which was rarely seen in a thousand years, Chu Feng was inadvertently infatuated.

He always felt that Si Qi’s pair of eyes were full of charm, his nose was straight and delicate, and his lips were slightly parted and red as dates. He couldn’t wait to get closer to pick some and taste them.

His temperament was so clean, so clean that one couldn’t help wanting to leave traces of strong colors on him, soft light pink skin, long black hair, transparent tears slowly sliding down from the corners of his eyes, and his face flushed from being bullied…

Chu Feng suddenly woke up, his eyes full of fear. He thought to himself that he must have been possessed by his inner demons, and turned his head away, not daring to look at Si Qi’s beautiful face again.

Si Qi stood beside him, thinking secretly in his heart.

Judging from Chu Feng’s behavior, in the original world line, the original owner’s situation was already so bad that even if Chu Feng was afraid of the influence of his inner demon, he should not have done nothing.

Was it the Son of the World who was interfering, knowing that the original owner was in danger, but still deliberately blocking the original owner and preventing him from meeting Chu Feng?

Or, had he already established a relationship with Chu Feng, secretly seducing Chu Feng, or even expanding the haze in Chu Feng’s heart?

This led to the original owner in the original world line dying with hatred due to a misunderstanding, and he was unable to see his old friend or find the last ray of hope until his death, thus fulfilling his inner obsession for thousands of years.

Maybe, the Son of the World would throw Si Qi’s body in front of Chu Feng, and say shamelessly that Si Qi entered the entertainment industry because he wanted to see him, but he, a coward, didn’t dare to face him at all, which was why he always turned black and crazy in front of the screen, and was forced into a desperate situation by the vicious human nature, and finally his inner demon exploded and died tragically…

It was easy to imagine how Chu Feng would collapse when he saw Si Qi’s corpse and learned the “truth”. When his inner demons could no longer be controlled and exploded, how would he be attacked by the Son of the World who took advantage of the opportunity…

Si Qi asked Chu Feng: “Do you know any demon cultivators?”

Chu Feng subconsciously asked, “Are you talking about that female star?”
