　　Gu Bai’s idea of ​​leaving is unsuccessful.
　　Although his "true colours" made Nie Qingcang very angry, and the boy actually curried favour to use him, but he still couldn't kick Gu Bai away or bear the feeling of disgust.
　　Since Nie Qingcang didn't take the initiative to let go, Gu Bai is also very self-aware* and didn't dare to take the initiative to run away.

*know one's strengths and weaknesses

　　Nie family’s power is so great, he won't be able to run away no matter what and he also doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life fleeing. Facing a man who is overbearing and angry, he understands the current circumstances and choose to be pressed down obediently. He consoled in his heart that this body isn't his anyway, if he will pressed down, then so be it.
　　Of course, although that was said, when the man entered his body, Gu Bai not only felt it from his body but obviously from his soul as well.
　　The frightening feeling of being swallowed up while kissing Nie Qingcang appeared again and it's even deeper, but at the same time, he also discovered that the feeling of his soul being nourished also increased, which made him dismiss the idea of ​​leaving even more.
        For the remaining decades, he always stayed by Nie Qingcang's side.
　　The man's possessiveness is very strong. Due to his previous actions, Nie Qingcang already lost trust in him. Since then, no matter where Nie Qingcang went, Gu Bai will always be brought along. If he doesn't see him for an hour, he will become endlessly irritated.
　　Such Nie Qingcang is very scary to outsiders, but Gu Bai feels that this man is actually like a child. Bad temper, every time he's cranky, Gu Bai only needs to take the initiative to kiss him and hold him, and he will immediately revert back to normal.
　　In fact, he actually doesn't know where to go even though the world is big. Staying by Nie Qingcang's side isn't that bad, he can be a young master with good food and drink. The soul can also be nourished. Aside from that man’s bad temper that needs to be coaxed, the days aren't bad……
　　When life came to the end, he saw the unbridled sorrowful love in Nie Qingcang’s eyes, that person said next to his ear:
　　"You're not Rong Qing, I know that you're not Rong Qing, who are you? Tell me who you are? I will not allow you to go! I will not allow you to go!"
　　That man was actually aware of it. He was a little surprised and smiled. He didn't have the strength to answer. He could only close his eyes and return to the dark starry space again.
　　The space is the same as when he left, it’s still dark and cold. Those books that flash with light still dance in the air, everything is entirely the same as when he left.
　　"The task is done well, Lu Rongqing is very satisfied. I've decided to give you a reward. If you encounter difficulties in doing the task in the future, I can help you once. Now, do you want to continue the task or take a break...."
　　The familiar mysterious voice rang again.
　　"Thank you master, I want to take a break..."
　　 Gu Bai didn't expect to be rewarded, his face revealed joy. He immediately expressed his thanks and then chose to rest.
　　For that mysterious voice, he completed the task in just a few minutes, or even a few seconds, but for him it was a real lifetime, he needs to rest and sort out his thoughts and mindset.
　　Towards the empty space, he respectfully gave a cupped fist salute*. Gu Bai sat directly on the ground with his legs crossed. After going through one task, he discovered that his soul is now much more solid than his soul at beginning.

*respectful greeting/salute that originated from martial artists.

　　Thinking of his soul's condition that he discovered just now, Gu Bai hesitated for a while and still couldn't help but spoke to the empty surroundings.
　　"Master, I have a question to ask you..."
　　"Say it..." The mysterious voice was very patient.
　　"I want to know why after completing the task, my soul seems to be getting more...." Gu Bai doesn't know how to describe it.
　　"Powerful." The mysterious voice said, "You feel that your soul has become more powerful, is that right?"
　　"Yep……"
　　"This is the benefit of your task. Every time you complete a task, you will recieve some energy, this is the cultivation that I give you. Otherwise, it will be difficult for your ordinary human soul to continue surviving for a long time. The more tasks you do in the future, the higher your cultivation will be and the greater your ability...."
　　"Cultivation? You're a immortal?" Gu Bai grasped the main point. This sounds so mysterious, he is a bit curious.
　　The mysterious voice seemed to laugh a bit and didn't explain, "You just need to do your tasks, don't need to know too much, curiosity will kill the cat....."
　　Gu Bai didn't continue asking and tactfully closed his mouth, although he's quite curious.
　　He originally still wanted to ask about the same energy he received from Nie Qingcang. Seeing the attitude of this mysterious voice, he pressed it down.
　　After a while, he respectfully spoke to the empty surroundings:
　　"Master, I'm done resting, I can start the next task."
　　"Alright, immediately enter the world. As I said before, you will truly die if you die before completing the task. Fail and I will kill you...."
