Since meeting Ye Wu, their master were harder on them in their trainings, longer mediations, and shorter mealtime. Though it was tiring, Ying Yue welcomed it. They were great distractions from the truth. Ye Wu was that red eyed man with Wang Li in the palace. Ye Wu was a demon. Wang Li was the Ghost King. Ye Wu and Wang Li…
'I am not dating anyone, Ah Yue. No one else holds my heart but you.'
That was what his lover told him and he… he felt in his heart that was the truth. The Ghost King had never lied to him. Avoiding the question? Yes, but lied? No. Looking at the moon, he felt his lips stretched and held tight to the feeling of Wang Li's love.
'I thank the Heavens for bringing you to me… I cannot tell you I do not love you, Ying Yue. That would be a lie.'
"I love you too, Ah Li. I hope you are safe and… ready to tell me the truth. All of it…" Ying Yue whispered into the cool air and closed his eyes.
