That night, Ren Fuyao held an incomplete scroll in his hand as he sat next to a lone lamp in his coat, engrossed in reading it.

At the third of the five night watches (23:00 – 01:00), a breeze blew through the window. The lamp fire danced a few times, and the door was pushed open by someone from the outside.

Ren Fuyao looked up and saw a leisurely man with a languid expression on his face.

“I didn’t expect you to be the Fourth Elder of the Lin family.” Ren Fuyao put down his scroll and looked at the visitor.

Lin Liuchun closed the door and stood at the entrance without walking in; he just looked at Ren Fuyao with a hint of a smile in his eyes. “Well, you know now.”

“So, did Uncle Lin come find me this late for some urgent matter?”

“How do you intend to settle your contract with the Shen family?”

Ren Fuyao smiled. “You need not worry about that, I can resolve it myself.”

Lin Liuchun walked over and sat down as he pleased opposite Ren Fuyao. He looked at him, “That won’t do, I promised your parents to take good care of you.”

Ren Fuyao squinted as he looked at him. “Then does Uncle Lin think I look like my father or my mother?”

“Like both.” Lin Liuchun replied.

Ren Fuyao’s gaze darkened a little as he stared at Lin Liuchun. “Speaking of which, I have to thank Lin Xuanzhi, Yan Tianhen, and the rest. My grandfather had planned to let me get engaged to Shen Rubing after the Hundred Families’ Gathering. After the setbacks the Shen family suffered in succession, well as all the enemies they made, I’m afraid that my marriage with Shen Rubing will fall through.”

Sect Master Ren was a practical person, he definitely wouldn’t take a fancy to a family covered in blood.

Lin Liuchun nodded. “That kid from the Shen family isn’t suitable for you.”

Ren Fuyao’s jade white fingers pinched a string of chrysoberyl and twirled it around. “Even if this one isn’t suitable, there will always be another.”

Lin Liuchun looked at his slightly feminine face and sighed softly. “Fuyao, I don’t know what I should say about us…I was probably lacking in my teachings ba.”

Ren Fuyao shook his head. “How could it be considered your fault? I just got carried away by my own wishful thinking.”

Lin Liuchun was stunned. “Your parents entrusted you to me and I watched you grow up; I’ve always regarded you as my own nephew.”

“I wonder what they would think under the yellow springs if my parents knew that you cared for me in bed as well.” Ren Fuyao smiled slightly, yet such shocking words had come out of his mouth.

A tinge of self-loathing flashed through Lin Liuchun’s eyes. He was about to say something when he heard Ren Fuyao continue, “However, that does have nothing to do with you. It was all my fault. I was the one who implanted a passion Gu in you, which was why you had those feelings for me. Uncle Lin, I thought you would never come see me of your own accord again.”
