The terrifying silence gradually spread, enveloping Chi Muyao and Xi Huai like a soundless mist. 

Chi Muyao stared blankly as the Nuan Yan Pavilion cultivator attacked Su You in a rage, motionless. 

Xi Huai gradually became aware of Chi Muyao's crisis and glanced at him from time to time, thinking about how to comfort him. 

As Xi Huai was struggling, both of them noticed some details.

Su You pulled up the cultivator's arm by the wrist. His sleeve slipped down to reveal scars left by restraint artefacts there. 

After looking at them, Su You then pawed at the cultivator's clothes and saw scars from being whipped on his shoulders and back. 

He ran over without even having his wounds treated... 

As soon as Chi Muyao saw this, he said, "He seems to have been coerced too. The Nuan Yan Pavilion probably imprisoned him when he was unwilling to comply, only releasing him recently. Of course, he may have escaped on his own too." 

In other words, Yu Chaoluo had resisted, but he was forcibly imprisoned by the Nuan Yan Pavilion. By the time he escaped, the dust had already settled. Xi Lin and his cultivation partner had already had a grand ceremony that lasted several days. This was also the reason why he hesitated in front of the entrance. 

Xi Huai's original disdain finally eased a little, but he was still in a complicated mood. After all, this person's relationship to him really was a bit awkward. 

The cultivator knew he couldn't defeat Su You, who was clearly just toying with him. Since Su You didn't attack him when he stopped fighting, he simply sheathed his sword and went down the mountain with a dark expression.

He would be spotted by Demonic Faction cultivators if he flew away on his sword, so he could only leave in a low-key manner like this. 

Su You didn't give up and followed him, saying, "I can help you. Since Xi Lin took away your most beloved person, you can also kill the one most important to him.” 

Xi Huai suddenly realised something. Sure enough, familiar names came from Su You's mouth, "Xi Lin has two disciples he is quite proud of. One is called You Shuo and the other Song Nanqian. If you kill them, Xi Lin will feel the same pain you feel right now." 

The cultivator turned back to look at Su You again, puzzled. 

Su You reacted quickly and added, "I know you're not their match, so I'll help you." 

Chi Muyao noticed Xi Huai's anger and quietly held his finger. 

Xi Huai turned to see his concerned gaze. His stormy emotions cleared up a bit. He quietly said, "Those two have died already... I've never even met them, but apparently they were both single fire spiritual roots with very good aptitude. Song Nanqian is also Song Weiyue's big brother. " 

Chi Muyao could draw his own conclusions, so he reached out and hugged Xi Huai. It was a more direct way to offer comfort than words. 

The cultivator was equally puzzled and asked, "Why are you doing this?" 

Su You shrugged. "Because I'm bored, ah. Also, world peace is something I can't stand." 

The cultivator stared at Su You for a long time again before finally refusing, "No, I can handle my affairs myself." 

"You've already been abandoned by the Nuan Yan Pavilion without hesitation. They even treated you this way, so don't you want to take revenge?" 

The cultivator's emotions flared again. He held his sword in a death grip, but still pursed his lips and continued down the mountain. 

Su You was like an annoying stray dog. He kept following the cultivator and even snatched his waist plate. "Yu Chaoluo...Self-praise in the morning, self-congratulation at night, yet no one understands the troubles in my heart." 

"Give it back!" 

Yu Chaoluo tried to grab it, but Su You stuffed the waist plate into his lapel and bared his chest to the cultivator. "Take it then."

Yu Chaoluo was so angry he whirled around and stormed off. 

Chi Muyao and Xi Huai followed them. Chi Muyao wondered, "Did Su You fall for Yu Chaoluo? His surname is Yu, so he's from the Yu family? Is he an elder of Yu-shixiong?" 

"So he treats those he likes like this? If anyone tried this with me, I would have beat them up long ago." 

"That's how you teased me at first." 

"..." Xi Huai was silent for a long time before he asked, "Was I so annoying back then?" 

"En!" 

"...” Xi Huai stopped talking. 

After following for a while longer, Xi Huai said, "Actually, Su You had a bad reputation in his early years. Apparently he was a wanderer who liked men. He also had plenty of strange quirks, like..using force or other methods to make the other person submit to him. The more unwilling they were, the more he enjoyed it."

"Isn't that a crime? What a twisted personality." 

"A crime? Is that a crime in the human realm?" 

"Yes, it is!" 

"Then he was indeed a heinous criminal." 

Chi Muyao felt disgusted just thinking about it. He asked, "Has Su You forced many people?" 

"Not really. He's really picky and spends a long time with his targets once he selects them. But now that I think about it, Su You disappeared for a while after tying that bell to his hair. He hasn't caused any trouble since. In fact, the only person he's really had his eyes on these years is you." 

"He was trying to get me to resurrect the person in the coffin." 

"En, I know. It's probably this guy, Yu Chaoluo." 

"So Su You fell for him for real later on?" 

Xi Huai stared at the backs of the two and could only admit, "Why else would Su You's hair have turned white?" 

The Su You in front of them still looked like a man in his twenties. His long, inky black hair was tied into a lazy ponytail with plenty of strands framing his face. It was a wild mess, but not a hint of silver.

This internal demon realm was from Su You's point of view. If Su You stopped following Yu Chaoluo, all the details involving him would be omitted. 

When the location shifted, they saw Su You deliberately going to the place where Yu Chaoluo was staying to lure him out. 

When Yu Chaoluo landed in the forest, he saw the two people tied up with a restraining artefact and left in the clearing. 

Yu Chaoluo was startled to see them. When he went to look around, sure enough Su You was coming towards him. "They're Xi Lin's disciples, beaten to an inch of their lives. All you need to do is deal the final blow." 

"I-I clearly refused!" Yu Chaoluo didn't expect Su You would actually do this.

"You did refuse, but doesn't the fact that you still stay around here prove you still want revenge? Come on, kill them so you can put an end to this." 

Yu Chaoluo watched as Su You retrieved his artefact. The two cultivators on their deathbed regained their freedom and wanted to make a last stand against Su You, but they didn't even have the strength to fight. 

Su You spoke to Yu Chaoluo again, "What are you standing there for? Kill them." 

Yu Chaoluo moved, but he attacked Su You. 

How could a cultivator at peak Golden Core stage be a match for one at peak Nascent Soul stage? In the end, he was just toyed with. 

Xi Huai looked extraordinarily angry. His fists clenched tightly. 

He thought he would see Su You's internal demon. He never imagined that he would see his father's two beloved disciples here instead, much less that the first time he saw them would be under these circumstances. 

He knew these two were going to die and he couldn't do a damn thing about it. 

The Qing Ze Sect never was able to find the culprit. Fortunately, with him as witness to the truth, he could avenge them... 

Yu Chaoluo was eventually controlled like a puppet by Su You and forced to kill those two. 

When Yu Chaoluo put away his sword and saw the two corpses on the ground, Su You's pleasant laughter rang in his ears. "Isn't it better this way?" 

What's done was done, so he could only ask, "Are you satisfied? Give me back my waist plate. We never need to meet again." 

Su You shook his head. "I'm afraid that's not going to happen." 

"What more do you want?"

 Su You fished out two beads from the corpses. "These are treasures only high-ranking Qing Ze Sect cultivators would have. Their last moments are recorded inside. If these beads reach Xi Lin, he'll see that you killed his disciples." 

Yu Chaoluo's breath hitched. His eyes instantly went wide, staring incredulously at the two bloodstained beads in Su You's hand. 

Su You was very satisfied with his expression at the moment. He laughed. "If Xi Lin saw that he would certainly make a big fuss. That peace treaty your Nuan Yan Pavilion signed with the Qing Ze Sect would be in vain. Your cultivation partner would have slept with another man in vain. So much wasted effort, just to return to the status quo." 

Yu Chaoluo finally realised that he had been used. He swayed and nearly fell down. 

Su You was still in a pretty good mood. He looked at Yu Chaoluo strangely after putting those beads away. "Why aren't you celebrating? Don't you feel happy after killing Xi Lin's beloved disciples?" 

"You just wanted to use me to make the two realms wage war again?" 

"It's not that complicated!" Su You immediately denied. He smiled unnervingly wide. "I don't care about that, I just...like men."

Yu Chaoluo frowned at Su You, subconsciously trying to take a step back but failed. His body was controlled by Su You again and went over to him. 

Su You studied Yu Chaoluo seriously in the night, lifting his chin with a bloody hand. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. "I honestly haven't tried your type before. You look like an old-fashioned guy who's also from a major clan of the renowned Righteous Sects. You must be very kind and pure, right?" 

Yu Chaoluo tried to dodge, but couldn't. 

Su You came even closer. "Either kiss me or watch me give these beads to Xi Lin."

This kind of thing was simply beyond Yu Chaoluo's wildest imagination. He asked in horror, "You and I are both men! How could we..." 

"I told you already, I like men." 

Yu Chaoluo shook his head repeatedly, unwilling to comply. 

Su You stopped staring at him. He let him go and walked around him to leave. 

Yu Chaoluo spaced out for a moment before reaching out to tug at Su You's sleeve. "I'm from the Yu family, so I have many artefacts. I'll give them all to you, okay?" 

Su You was amused. "Do you think I lack those things?" 

"Or something else. Do you want..."

"Then stay with me as a follower for a while." 

Yu Chaoluo hesitated again. He'd already fallen into this kind of scheme on his second meeting with Su You. If he stayed with him any longer, he didn't know what he would be manipulated into doing. 

Su You used the Simple Washing Technique to cleanse him and Yu Chaoluo. Then he grabbed Yu Chaoluo's clothes and took him back to the place he was staying at. 

Yu Chaoluo was more restrained than Su You in the room. 

Su You didn't even glance at him. He tossed him some clothes. "Change. Were you afraid people wouldn't recognise you here in Demonic Faction territory unless you wore your Nuan Yan Pavilion uniform?" 

"My Hundred Treasure Jade was taken away by my Shifu..." which proved he did sneak over here. 

"Hurry up. I won't touch you." 

So Yu Chaoluo could only go to the inner room to change. 

However, for a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, it didn't matter if Yu Chaoluo went inside, His injuries as well as his fair body were as clear as day to Su You. 

After Yu Chaoluo had put on the clothes, Su You took him to the Zheng Yu Pavilion and ordered more than a dozen girls for him. "Pick one." 

Yu Chaoluo had never been to such a place. He didn't even dare to look around. "What are we doing here?"

Su You sent him a separate divine sense transmission, "You're going to fuck them and see what they are like when they get topped. That's how you should act when I top you." 

"No! I never agreed to this!" 

Su You walked up to him and injected spiritual energy into his forehead to check. He burst into laughter. "So you're still a virgin even though you have a Cultivation Partner Knot?"

"How can I do these things when I'm not married yet?!" 

"Tsk. Then I should find a cultivator to do these girls in front of you so you can learn?" 

"You might as well just kill me!" 

"You're no fun." 

Chi Muyao wanted to hurl. He was really pissed off watching this and hatefully said to Xi Huai, "I suddenly want to see the wife chasing crematorium part." 

Xi Huai didn't understand the phrase. He asked, "What's that?" 

"Oh...I mean I want to see how Su You regrets this." 

"Will he regret it?"

"If he truly falls for him, then yes. He will definitely regret his depraved behaviour now. Obtaining someone's body but not their heart is the beginning of remorse!"
