For Me, You Are Perfect

A thought arose.

The Law Artifact were disassembled and then suddenly coalesced into a sphere.

Now, it can never be undone.

Yun Wuyi raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you put a lot of effort into this? Why ruin it?"

Yun Zexuan pondered for a moment.

He said, "Don't seek it externally."

Yun Wuyi shook his head. "Divination and divination inherently require Law Artifact. Although I don't think your method of Law Artifact for divination is wrong, I don't think abandoning Law Artifact is the right thing to do either."

Yun Zexuan looked at the round ball in his palm.

It was once covered with runes and countless intricate patterns.

Now all of that has faded away, leaving only the purest circle.

Like his heart.

"Right and wrong, with or without the Law Artifact... external things, seek within..."

He suddenly stopped.

"The Heaven and Earth Law..."

He suddenly looked up, his eyes lighting up.

"The Heaven and Earth Law! It is the Heaven and Earth Law!"

"When cause and effect are applied to oneself, it will drag oneself down. When cause and effect are applied to external things, those things cannot bear it."

"Supernatural Law separate the Heaven and Earth Law and earth from oneself, but they still belong to oneself—"

Yun Zexuan looked at the lump of scrap metal in his hand, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Li Xuan refined the Heaven and Earth Law into a sword, so why can't I refine the Heaven and Earth Law into a physical object!"

With this thought in mind, his mind suddenly felt clear and open.

"I am the object, and the object is me."

"When cause and effect are applied to an object, they are applied to oneself; but the object is me, and I bear the consequences of cause and effect without being harmed."

"Although the power of the Heaven and Earth Law is lacking, isn't this also a way of forging one's own path?"

Although it's too early to say, there's no doubt about it.

Yun Zexuan has embarked on his own path.

On the other side.

Qin Wangchuan had just made up an excuse.

Unexpectedly, Yun Qingyao actually took them for a stroll around.

Her attitude was hardly serious; in fact, it could be described as perfunctory.

His tone was flat and monotone, as if he were simply completing a task.

But she did take him to every corner around the area.

"This is the Fate Pavilion."

Yun Qingyao pointed to an ancient building, "I've heard it can predict the trajectory of a person's fate."

He paused.

"But there's none of mine."

Qin Wangchuan glanced at her sideways but didn't reply.

Yun Qingyao continued walking forward.

"This is the Starry Sky Arena."

She stopped and looked up at the sky.

Qin Wangchuan followed her gaze—it was a deep, almost eerie night sky, devoid of stars, with only a gigantic black hole hanging there silently.

"Flying is not allowed here." Yun Qingyao's tone remained calm. "Last time I saw someone fly up and then get sucked away."

Qin Wangchuan's eyebrows twitched slightly.

That's it?

"That's all."

Yun Qingyao withdrew her gaze and continued walking forward.

Next stop.

"This is the Sea Cliff."

She stood on the edge of the cliff and pointed down.

Below the cliff was a surging Cloud Sea, a vast expanse of white stretching to the horizon.

Several small boats floated quietly above the Cloud Sea, and one could vaguely see people sitting cross-legged among them.

"Can fish, can retreat into seclusion."

Qin Wangchuan walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down from there.

"Sea-based seclusion?"

"You can close it." Yun Qingyao nodded. "I've tried it."

"How about it?"

"It felt shaky." She thought back carefully, "It didn't feel very good."

After saying that, she turned around and headed to the next place.

Qin Wangchuan suddenly spoke up, "Wait."

Yun Qingyao stopped and turned to look at him.

Qin Wangchuan walked to the side and patted the grass beside him.

"The view here is nice, let's sit down for a while."

Yun Qingyao looked around.

Green grass, high cliffs, Cloud Sea, with surging clouds in the distance and a gentle breeze nearby.

Is this a good sight?

She didn't feel anything.

But I still went over and sat down next to him.

Qin Wangchuan glanced at her, then looked towards the distant Cloud Sea.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke.

"It's okay if you don't understand what I'm about to say."

Yun Qingyao turned her head and looked at his profile.

Listen carefully.

"After you, you might meet someone."

Qin Wangchuan's voice was very soft, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"He is destined for greatness, the so-called Protagonist, capable of doing many things that others can hardly imagine."

"If things proceeded normally, he could make the heartless compassionate and the desireless desireful."

He paused, then turned his head to look at Yun Qingyao.

But what do you think?

Do you want to have feelings and desires?

Yun Qingyao listened and slowly shook her head.

"I don't know what that feeling is like."

They all want me to have it.

As she spoke, she leaned her head slightly closer, her eyes fixed on Qin Wangchuan.

"But I feel... it's so complicated."

I heard those words over and over again.

Even a puppet can become tiresome after hearing it too many times.

Why are there so many troublesome things in this world?

Yun Qingyao asked her question very seriously, and also very innocently.

Why can't everyone follow orders?

"That makes things simple."

Qin Wangchuan smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Life and the Dao Path are just that complicated."

"But I don't want it to be that complicated," Yun Qingyao replied.

Her voice remained calm, yet somehow it gave the impression that she was persisting in something.

"I want to hear commands. If I had commands, I would do them, and everyone would be happy."

He paused, as if he had thought of something.

They were never happy.

Although Yun Qingyao has no emotions and feels nothing for the people around her.

But she saw it, and she knew it.

His own mother, and those elders, were always very unhappy.

Qin Wangchuan gazed at the distant Cloud Sea and remained silent for a while.

Are you happy?

Yun Qingyao shook her head.

It's not that I'm unhappy.

I don't know what that feeling is like.

Qin Wangchuan understood.

He withdrew his gaze and landed on her face, a hint of a smile in his eyes that he himself didn't even realize.

"I'm happy just looking at you."

"It's like looking in a mirror; you can say anything, even casually mention things like 'Protagonist'."

"Because I know you won't investigate, you won't think."

"I'd rather you stay this way than have feelings or desires."

"Perhaps, this is just my selfish desire."

He paused.

"I'm not perfect, I have selfish desires. But you are perfect."

Yun Qingyao tilted her head.

Is this an order?

Qin Wangchuan smiled.

"Um."

"That's an order, of course."

Yun Qingyao looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"You're ordering me to stay the way I am now?"

"No." Qin Wangchuan shook his head.

He looked at her, speaking each word carefully.

"I command you—be happy."

"However, you probably don't understand."

Everyone has different opinions and will say different things. You don't have to listen to everything I say.

"But to me, you are already perfect."

Yun Qingyao did not respond to that statement.

She just looked at him and asked again:

Is this also an order?

Upon hearing this, Qin Wangchuan smiled and turned to look at her.

In the distance, Cloud Sea surged, and a gentle breeze brushed against the tips of one's hair.

He just stared at her for a moment.

That's good.

"That's good."

He didn't say it was an order.

But Yun Qingyao thought, this is it.

She then looked towards the Cloud Sea in the distance.

The wind surged up from below the cliff, blowing her hair and brushing against her cheeks.

She neither dodged nor moved.

Just looking at that surging Cloud Sea, I thought:

Do I not need to change anymore?

No need to think about what you should become anymore.

No need to think anymore about what is "right".

'Just stay where you are, it's that simple.'

She turned her head to look at the figure beside her.

Qin Wangchuan continued to gaze at the distant Cloud Sea, his profile bathed in the warm glow of the sunlight.

Yun Qingyao just stared at him like that.

He had no expression and didn't speak.

Just watching.

The wind kept blowing.

The clouds continued to gather.

For the first time, she felt that staying like this wasn't so bad.
