Leaving a note in the drunk Qiangs room he grabbed his sword that he hadnt used in a month and with a spiritual pouch full of medicine,cloths, money and everything he could need for a journey and disappeared.
The next morning Qiang had slept in, the previous day he had gone down to the mortal world for some drinks, this was because over the course of a month he had gradually become aware of the thoughts he had for his own deciple.
The slender but muscular body hidden under his cloths. The long black hair and clear silver eyes.
When Meigui woke up he'd have a dazed look and was very quiet, but he'd get fired up when it came to practicing the sword, he found it was because Meigui found the whole idea exciting.
How he would lean on him while they bathed because he would get to lazy to stand still. How he would sometimes doze off in the courtyard a small side effect of his high medicine intake, and how he would carefully carry him back inside to Meigui's bed.
And how just holding the other made him excited and unexpectedly even have a reaction. But the struggle that happened in his head made him wonder if he should make a move, after all this was someone who he regarded as his deciple, and who Meigui regarded as a master. What if Meigui liked woman? What if his feels grew and Meigui rejected him. Or what if Meigui disliked his strong feelings and left?
Would he lock him up? If he was being honest with himself, he would. He might not put him in chains as he couldn't bear the idea of hurting Meigui, but...
But he most certainly would cut off his connections to the outside and keep him inside the courtyard. He would make the other used to his presence and slowly take over his life. Just like how he was doing now.
Until the other could only rely on him. For food, to bath, to dress, to travel, to sword practice. It made even himself a bit overwhelmed by the intensity of his own feelings.
And it also made him scared about how Meigui would feel, besides if his feelings were already this strong what would he do if Meigui really did reject him. What if he did something horrible and ended up making Meigui hate him even more?
This obsession with something that was new to him.
He was praised often from when he was young, and enjoyed the attention and he wanted to continue to be recognized and praised. The feeling of being strong and getting what he wanted felt good, but his feelings were never this strong. That day he had left early in such a state that he forgot to leave a note. After arriving at a high end winery and he was drinking several different woman had made a move on him.
He was in the mortal world and had dressed differently, and although mortals wouldn't recognize his face as the Sect head his was incredibly handsome and beautiful. After pushing them away he left, to absorbed in his thought to really pay attention to anyone else. He had been worried because he left without leaving a note behind. When he returned home he was met with the sight of his beloved, suddenly he thought,
'I'll just make him like me, and besides over the past month we have become very close, he odiously has feelings for me, although they might only be good will it's a place to start.'
After falling onto the soft bed he fell asleep, comforted by the thought that he had decided to pursue Meigui and settled his anxiety. But then the next morning it was like the sky had fallen, when he saw the note he panicked,
'Why would he leave? Did he realize that i liked him? Did he hate the idea of being with me? Was he getting suspicious of the fact that i didn't allow him to leave? Does he hate spending time with me? Why did he leave? How could he leave? I love him, why did he go? Where did he go?'
The thoughts continue to darken, he could sense his obsession grow stronger, the idea of controlling everything the other did was too sweet. He had lived for over 100 years, this was the first time he was feeling like this. Such amazing feelings, he couldn't let them go, such an amazing person, he wouldn't let go. The obsession just grew stronger.
"I need to find him,and tell him i love him… i need to see him."
Meanwhile, in a rural town many miles away, on a boat floating slowly down the river, sat Li Wei. It had been a day since he left, it was very odd suddenly not having someone around him, weather it was to help him bath or cook him food.
The presence of that person somehow gave him the feel of joy, and comfort. It felt oddly empty without him.
Pushing away the thoughts he continued to meditate. It was a new mediation something that was very similar to yoga. Where one moved the body but also was in a state of peace of mind. He was wearing a pair of white pants, black boots and a red and black robe on top. The robe cut off once it reached his waists like a elegant thin coat, the only place that was hard to move around were his dangling sleeves.
He was in the middle of a river, the river led to a large lake. He was riding the boat into the lake, here he would stay until he could figure out how to control himself, or perhaps until he broke through into Origin core. With the month that he was back at the sect he didn't do much as he was healing, so now was the perfect time to focus and raise his strength. The water was clear today and the boat steady. No wind, and the sun was bright. Slowly his body began to move,
"Swish!" He raised his sword up, and began. There were sword moves that he had made into a sort of dance. He repeated the actions over and over faster and faster as he moved he began to creat illusions in the air, fighters. Wave after wave coming from every angle.
Block, pary, stab, sheild, hit, swing. When he was panting for breath several hours had gone by. This time he had only used his power to make illusions, not to help boost his body. He wanted to build up more muscles. He couldn't help it when he saw Qiangs muscles, he was a bit jealous.
Unconsciously he had begun to smile. Shaking his head around as if trying to shaking the image of Qiangs doggie face out of his mind he continued to practice.
-2 months later-
Li Wei had broken into Origin core and had even more surprisingly had almost broken though the bottle neck of with Origin core 1. He was only a few steps away from stage 2. It was now, that Qiang found him.
The 2 month that Li Wei had been alone he had deliberated and finally decided, if anything he would try his best to presue Qiang, he would make the other love him, if he couldn't make him love then...he didn't continue the thought.
As long as the other didn't go looking for others and stayed faithful to him he would do his best not to snap and do something crazy. Even while he said this he wasn't sure what he would do in a fit of emotions. Just when Li Wei had made this decision, Qiang had made his too.
'When i find him i'm going to give him 1 chance, just one and if he doesn't want to come back... i'll knock him out and take him back.'
Qiang has been tracking all the near by towns and had finally caught a lead, it was a rural town near and huge mountain range.
There was talk about a handsome young man who lived on a boat, and it's said that he was secretly cultivating in order to hide from his enemy's and then make a huge comeback.
Of course this wasn't true, after all in the note Li Wei had left him he had simply said he was going to travel to gain experience.
But a young man desperately practicing martial arts all alone was very thought provoking.
