After a brief moment of silence, Ao Fan's smile diminished slightly as he looked at the ripples of the lake and said, "I've never lied to you, it all stems from nothing more than your carelessness. If you really think that I can't be trusted, you can stay away, why do you need to look for me for the Van Candle Incense?"
"You!" Qing Qing's face had a few more points of anxiety on it. Living under the protection of many people since she was a child, while she lived a carefree life, her mind was also a bit lower than the average person of her age, and she was simply unable to distinguish between some right and wrong. This was something that the group of people who raised her, did not expect.
"How do you feel?" Ao Fan asked.
Qing Qing thought bitterly for a moment, and with a movement in her heart, she suddenly said, "Originally, Master Empty Chan and the others told me to arrest you when I saw you, but I failed to fulfil it. But if you are dead set against handing over the Brahma Candle Incense to me, I can only do what they intended."
Ao Fan's face changed slightly in a flash. He knew that Qing Qing's cultivation was profound and much stronger than him, so if he really made a move to capture him, he was afraid that he would be powerless to resist.
"You have to think about it, it's very unethical to make someone hand over things they've worked hard for." Ao Fan slowed down his voice and said.
"It's even more unethical to rob someone of something they've worked hard for." Qing Qing skimmed her mouth and said, as if she had become wise in a flash, causing Ao Fan to only laugh bitterly.
His gaze turned and he slowly said, "In that case, you and I will each give in one step. Promising me some conditions was something you said yourself, so although you concede, you have to need to promise me to continue to fulfil ten conditions. Afterwards, the Brahma Candle Incense is yours."
"What!" Qing Qing exclaimed, turning her head to stare at Ao Fan, saying, "Are you joking, you want me to promise you ten conditions after you have lied to me, shouldn't you be dreaming?"
The corner of Ao Fan's mouth twitched, then said, "Some of the conditions have changed to ten conditions, compared to a lot of leniency, and after completing it, you will get the treasure Van Candle Fragrance, which is hard to find in the world. You should be happy about this."
Qing Qing blinked her pure eyes and said, "I should be happy?"
"That's right, that's right." Ao Fan immediately nodded his head.
Qing Qing immediately blanked him and said, "Do you take me for a fool? It's fine to continue to promise you a few conditions, but I've already been tricked by you before and regarded my true face to you, so I can only fulfil one more of your conditions."
Ao Fan shook his head and said, "Shrinking to one tenth at once, your calculations are too good, but I will never agree to it. Since you feel that the conditions are too much, then I will reduce them a bit, how about eight conditions?"
"No way, no way." Qing Qing shook her head like a wave drum and said, "Eight conditions are still too many, who knows what excessive conditions you will ask for, so I can't agree. I am only willing to promise you one more condition, just one."
"One condition, don't you think it's too little?" Ao Fan let out a faint smile and said, "Five conditions, how do you feel? This is already half down from what I initially thought, and I will only mention conditions that you can easily do, so I can say it's a good choice."
"No, I say one is one!" Qing Qing said stubbornly, her firm gaze facing Ao Fan without any hesitation.
Qing Hua dotted and scattered from the sky, sprinkling on Qing Qing's figure, setting off the dream-like figure, causing Ao Fan's eyes to blur for a while and his memories to almost overlap.
He shook his head and lost his smile, "One is too little ..."
In the darkness of the night, their voices spread far out from the water, drifting with the wind. At the end of the day, under Ao Fan's constant narrations, Qing Qing finally conceded one more step and agreed to fulfil the three conditions. After the three conditions, Ao Fan promised that the Brahma Candle Incense would return to Qing Qing's hands. In fact, no one knows nowadays where the fragrance of the candle goes. Divine objects have their own spirituality, very human can speculate.
"Alright, I'll promise you three more conditions, now you can say the first one." Qing Qing said rather happily, joy showing in her big pure eyes.
Now that she had thought about it multiple times beforehand and did not find the second language loophole, she knew that she would not be bullied anymore, and that she could get back the Brahma Candle Incense as long as she completed the three conditions that were within her reach.
Ao Fan looked at the starry sky, his eyes flickered with a complex and difficult to understand colour, and slowly said: ''As there are not many conditions, I need to think about it, and I won't let you do anything in a short period of time. When I think of the conditions after a certain period of time, I will go and find you."
Although Qing Qing was not aware of the world, she was smart enough to immediately hear what was going on and objected, "No, you have to mention the conditions right away. Who knows if you are deliberately delaying with the excuse of thinking of conditions?"
Ao Fan laughed bitterly, he really didn't think of this layer just now, and couldn't help but say, "You misunderstood me, I don't have that kind of idea. However, since you are worried that I will stall for time for this, name a time limit. I will make a condition within this period of time."
Qing Qing drummed her mouth and nodded, her bright eyes turning, saying, "How about setting it for a month, and within a month you'll tell me the condition you want."
"Okay." Ao Fan did not object, and had his own considerations in his heart.
The moon was falling and the stars were sinking, the late night passed quietly and was about to lead to a white day again. On the West Lake, many boats had already switched off their lights, waiting for the arrival of day.
At the border location of the West Lake, a boat floating on the lake slowly wandered. Two figures at the stern of the boat flashed clearly under the moonlight, sitting with each other and talking about some words. Regarding the matter of the treasure, it had already been put down, and what they were discussing naturally belonged to other things, involving quite a lot of excitement.
It was not until a round of bright sun truly rose from the east, shedding golden light, that they stopped talking and bathed in the sunlight to their heart's content. To their ears, there was the sound of a huge bell and bursts of majestic Brahma singing from the Spirit Mountain outside the western part of the city.
"I'm leaving." Qing Qing stood up and said with a smile, "It turns out that not talking to you about having conflicts is quite enjoyable, so I'll see you later."
As she said that, her figure fluttered, seemingly about to leave in the next instant.
"Wait." Ao Fan hurriedly called out to him, his heart beating violently a few times. Facing Qing Qing's slightly puzzled and pure eyes, he opened his mouth and finally said, "I still don't know where you live, if I think of the conditions, won't I be unable to tell you in time."
Qing Qing nodded her head understandingly and smiled gently, like a flower in bloom, saying, "You're quite thoughtful. I've been living on the Little Spirit Mountain outside the north of the city, you'll be able to find me if you go there."
Qing Qing eventually fluttered away like an exiled fairy and disappeared from Ao Fan's sight, making him feel his heart empty.
Little Spirit Mountain?
Ao Fan silently read, it seems that big and small fatty they also went to this mountain, probably because of this there is a Buddhist temple in the mountain, named Putian Temple.
