On how to catch dolls with perfect accuracy

"I don't... don't want to..." Qu Yan showed a struggling look, his dim eyes concealed the light of his soul.

Qiu Baiye was tightly bound by the surging demon power of these two monsters, they were the flames he was most familiar with, and they were flames he could not break free from.

He felt that Qu Wen's strength fluctuated from strength to strength, as if two strands of consciousness in his body were constantly vying for dominance.

"You controlled him." Qiu Baiye said coldly after he had already determined the answer in this instant.

Zhuyan didn't refute, just laughed lightly, Gogou pointed and asked Qu Wen to stand in front of Qiu Baiye.

"Is it the black fire just now?"

"More than that, don't forget that this little monster's success in transformation is largely due to my credit. Although I have stripped my power a long time ago, after all, I have allocated a little spiritual power in him. Even if it can't be controlled for a long time, it is enough Finished what I needed him to do."

"What on earth are you trying to do?" Qiu Baiye tried to struggle a few times, but apart from adding two or three burns, the cage that restrained him remained motionless.

Candleflame stretched out his right hand, with the palm facing upwards, and a crimson gem was suspended in the air. He took a deep look at the gem and said, "It's okay to tell you now, anyway, the overall situation is settled."

Following his movements, Qu Fan slowly took out the phoenix pendant and put it in the palm of his hand, staring straight at Qiu Baiye with his dull eyes.

"Everyone thought that your father and I died because of my power. But they were wrong. Not only did I not die, but his soul is still in the world."

Qiu Baiye watched the gem approaching him, full of absurdity.

"We couldn't survive. The nightingale is different from the phoenix. But thanks to those who wanted us to die, they put 'bait' on me, causing my power to blacken and go berserk. Look at me now, It’s all thanks to them.”

The fire had a strong smell of burning, the crackling in the air was suffocating, and the candle flame no longer disguised itself.

Qiu Baiye looked up.

I saw that the flame of the candle flame turned into black.

"It's disgusting...it's like this." Candle Flame said with a smile.

"Why? Who did it?" Qiu Baiye had some guesses in his mind, but he couldn't be sure, and he didn't even notice the tremor in his voice.

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart. How did the Qiu family fall into such a state? And who refused to let us live? You... should know."

"...

is the association. "Qiu Baiye said in a low voice.

"They themselves can't control the power of the enemy's Phoenix, and naturally they can't understand your father and I not cooperating everywhere. The power that cannot be controlled must be destroyed, so your father was placed under house arrest. I rushed to rescue him, but for a while Their negligence fell into their tricks, and they didn’t realize that the ‘bait’ had polluted the power.” The candle flame lowered its eyelashes, quite self-blaming, “When I wake up again, I will meet that arrow in the sea of ​​flames… ..."

Qiu Baiye didn't speak, and continued while listening to the candle flame.

"I'm not willing to die just like this, and I don't want your father to die because of me." Zhuyan glanced at the gemstone with a complicated expression, and said, "So I tried my best to introduce his soul into this gemstone. I remember whether I was cursing or praying, but in the end a strange force surged out of my body, which put me in a kind of closed sleep, and I didn’t wake up until this year.”

"Is it... the power of 'bait'?" Qiu Baiye asked.

"Yes."

"What the hell is 'bait'?"

"Who knows..." Zhuyan shook her head lightly, "It doesn't matter anymore."

Seeing a flash in his eyes, Qu Wen raised his hand to activate the phoenix pendant, and the pendant and the gemstone hung in front of Qiu Baiye in a line.

Qiu Baiye suffered from a splitting headache in a burst of blinding light.

"You are going to introduce my father's soul into my body, aren't you?" He asked with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, raising his eyes.

"I have no choice." Candleflame replied.

Qiu Baiye laughed in a low voice: "So you let Qu Wen escape because you believed that he could temporarily use the power of the phoenix. And it is impossible for me to hurt him."

"good."

"I really didn't expect it." Qiu Baiye took a deep breath and said, "You and your father... are not just the relationship between the monster and the master..."

Zhu Yan's pupils shrank, and he suddenly looked at Qiu Baiye.

"The method of using the pendant is all recorded in the secret room of the Qiu family. Before today, even I didn't know that it could lead the soul into the body and bring people back to life. How did you know?" Qiu Baiye was stunned when he saw the candle flame, Said firmly: "You have entered the secret room and read those records."

"As far as I know, you and your father did not form a bond. As a non-enemy bloodline, you cannot enter the secret room."

Zhuyan stared at Qiu Baiye with wide eyes.

He saw Qiu Baiye chanted a few words, and the phoenix pendant floated to his side, and his own strength was bounced away.

Qu Wen...that little monster!

"Stop trying to manipulate me, I don't want to hurt him, and I don't want to hurt you either." Qu Fan raised his head and stood beside Qiu Baiye.

The two stood side by side in front of him, holding hands.

Qiu Baiye said: "I also know that those who are recognized by the power of the phoenix and who are the companions of the descendants of the Qiu family can also enter that secret room."

"..." Zhu Yan seemed to be in a daze, and it took a long time to spit out: "Sorry."

"You don't need to feel guilty to me, and you don't need to apologize for my father." Qiu Baiye's eyes showed a bit of strangeness, "Your plan is perfect, but it's a pity that he didn't have time to tell you."

Candleflame frowned at him.

"He was entrusted by my parents to pretend that my father took care of me. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that I would know. In fact, I secretly read the letter left by my biological parents a long time ago. It was left before they died in battle. last letter."

"His blood was impure, and he was discriminated against in the family. Only my biological parents interacted with him. The war to wipe out the big demon severely damaged the vitality of the enemy family. I lost my parents and he lost his best friend. Taking care of me is not just a matter of friends. Trust, it was his own healing, I couldn't bear to let him face the reality again, so I kept pretending not to know."

"If...he is my biological father, then it is no longer me standing in front of you at this moment. It is a pity that the Phoenix Pendant can only resurrect the pure blood of the enemy family once, so your painstaking planning is doomed to fail." Qiu Bai Ye hung the pendant around Qu Wen's neck, and his tone softened.

"Come home with us." He held out his hand.

Candle Flame was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the gemstone in his hand tenderly.

He shook his head at the two juniors, and said: "The 'bait' is still on me, I don't know if it will happen again, I'd better leave you guys."

Qu Fan opened his mouth to say something to keep him, but was stopped by Qiu Baiye, who replaced him and said, "Take care, we will also find a way to deal with father."

"Be careful with the Association, they will take action sooner or later, this incident is just the beginning." Candle Flame turned around and stepped on the window sill, as if turning back into that singing nightingale lightly.

"Thank you, you taught me how to transform and cultivate!" Qu Wen said anxiously knowing that he was destined not to stay.

With a smile on the corner of Candle Yan's mouth, he jumped from the high tower into the night.

After Zhuyan left, Qiu Baiye realized that he had been holding Qu Wen's hand.

Thinner than his own hands, but also whiter and softer, he subconsciously recalled every detail of Qu Wen being by his side during this period of time.

An inexplicable urge drove him to say something, or do something.

The little monster tugged at his hand and smiled very affectionately.

Qiu Baiye suppressed his heart and was about to blurt out. He always felt that this was too perfunctory, so he pretended to be calm and said: "Then, let's go home too."

But Qu Wen stubbornly refused to leave, instead, he held Qiu Baiye's hand tightly, and the slight tremor was transmitted from the place where the two of them clasped their hands to his palm.

"Wait, I... think that I probably like you." Qu Wen's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he whispered, "I'm afraid that if I don't say anything, it will be too late..."

Before Qiu Baiye could recover from this sudden confession, he felt his hands loosen, he clenched his fists reflexively, and turned his head to look with three points of fear and seven points of nervousness, and there was nothing around him... …
