Hearing his words, Feng Tianlan hurriedly nodded. “That’s good.”
Seeing her relieved expression, the State Preceptor’s face darkened. Did she find him lacking? Why did she look so terrified at the notion of him falling for her?
It must be because she knew herself not worthy of him, that was why she had such an expression.
“So what do you think of my request?”
Feng Tianlan thought for a moment, then said seriously, “Caring about someone is not as simple as just agreeing to care, because care needs to be reciprocated.”
“Huh?” He looked at her in confusion, seeming not to understand what she had said.
“You care for someone because you like him. This kind of like can be between a man and a woman, between friends, and family. It involves feelings, so I think it’s quite difficult for me to care about you.”
After all, they were not in a relationship, neither were they friends nor family. They were able to stand there and chat amicably right now was simply because there was no animosity between them.
Also, it was quite tough to develop a friendship with the State Preceptor because he was sometimes nice, sometimes not. They would not be able to become good friends. It would not be an easy feat to care about him.
“Then, do you agree or agree?” Understanding her explanation, he asked in a leisurely manner, purposely leaving her with no option to disagree.
For Mobai’s and Sheng’er’s sakes, Feng Tianlan nodded dully. “Yes, I will do my best. But there is a prerequisite, you cannot hurt the people whom I care about.”
Otherwise, she would never let him off, let alone care about him.
“Other than Si Mobai, I have no interest in the others. They are like ants, I can easily crush them with my fingers,” the State Preceptor said nonchalantly.
The corners of Feng Tianlan’s mouth twitched. She knew that he was powerful, but she did not know that his cockiness was so extreme too.
“I’ll let you meet Feng Yunsheng in a while. As for how to expel Bi Ling in the future, I still need to study it.” Since the deal was made, he did not want to beat around the bush. He would do what he had to do.
Feng Tianlan quickly nodded, “Okay.” She also wanted to see Sheng’er and ask her if she had any ideas.
“Mo Bai said that he has a headache because he has regained Wu Ya’s memory and has not adjusted to it. What do you think?” It was what Feng Tianlan had wanted to ask when she first came out the door but she was stopped by the State Preceptor before she could do so.
He lightly acknowledged. When Lapis Lazuli came out, she had already told him about the Linking Heart Poison and the story they had told Feng Tianlan regarding Si Mobai’s headache. So now, he knew what to tell her.
“Does he need to change back to Wu Ya to stop the headache? What will happen if the headache persists?” Feng Tianlan chose to ask the key questions because who knew when he would change his mind again and not answer her questions.
The State Preceptor glanced at her then looked away. “If he keeps having a headache, he might go crazy or die. It all depends on how that person controls him.”
He was right. What would happen would depend on how Bi Ling controlled the poison. Whether Si Mobai would become Wu Ya or leave Feng Tianlan, would depend on the extent of the poison.
This had too many variations and he could not say for certain what would happen, so he could only give her an ambiguous answer.
However, when Feng Tianlan heard this, she felt a chill down her spine and her face turned pale. Mobai might go crazy or die?
