"So, where do you want to talk, Caster?”
"How about the Mapo Tofu shop over there?”
Aske didn't care if Yan Fengqili agreed or not. He walked over by himself. Yan Fengqili followed him. He didn't have any requirements for the location.
She found a remote place, ordered two servings of Mapo Tofu, and sat down opposite Yan Feng.
"Are you curious why you were chosen by the Holy Grail?”
Yan Feng remained silent, and Aske continued.
" Those chosen by the Holy Grail have their own wishes. Whether it's for glory or revenge, they all have their own goals. That's why they're chosen by the Holy Grail.”
"But you don't have any desires in your heart. You don't even have the concept of wanting.”
"As the representative of the Holy Church, you are like a walking corpse every day. No matter what kind of orders you receive, you will faithfully carry them out.”
"Why were you chosen by the Holy Grail when you have no desires?”
"You want this answer in your heart, right?”
Yan Fengqi was shocked. Her thoughts were all seen through by the person in front of her, and at the same time, a trace of hope ignited in her heart.
"Can you tell me the answer? Caster。”
He didn't care how Asker knew about this. He only wanted to know the answers to these questions and solve the doubts in his heart.
"Would you believe me if I told you the answer directly?”
Yan Feng frowned. Just as Aske asked, if he could believe it, he wouldn't have been lost for so many years.
"Have you ever been happy? Qili."
When he was happy? Although she tried very hard to recall what she had done in the past, she could not find anything that matched the word "pleasure". Or rather, Yan Feng and Qili did not know what "pleasure" was at all.
"What does pleasure mean?”
Aske knew that he was not asking for the definition of this word, nor was it an abstract concept. He wanted to experience the feeling of " pleasure " personally.
"You still can't understand it now?"
Aske muttered to himself. A wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he continued,
"Then let me ask you another question. Why did you listen to the orders of the Holy Church or the Far Ban City?”
'Why?'
Although Yan Feng was surprised that Aske knew about his relationship with Shi Chen in Yuanban, it was obvious that Aske's question had affected his heartstrings.
"Maybe it's because Shiki is my teacher? Because my father is a priest of the Holy Church?”
Yan Feng said the answer in his heart with a slightly puzzled tone, but the answer he said was unbelievable.
It was as if he was asking Asker, but also as if he was asking his own heart.
"In that case, how about disobeying an order for once?”
Aske continued to tempt Yan Feng, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
" Violate?!"
Yan Fengqili was slightly shocked. She had never thought about these things before. She had never even thought of going against them. At this moment, an unknown emotion suddenly rose in her heart.
However, Yan Fengqi didn't feel bad about it.
Aske saw that Yan Feng's elegant demeanor was beginning to waver and knew that the time was ripe, so he continued to add more fire.
"You don't actually have any wishes, so you want to know what you wish for.”
"Hmm?"
Yan Fengqi was puzzled. Aske's words seemed very contradictory to him.
"What is the meaning of this?"
"Don't you understand?"
Aske took a bite of the Mapo Tofu, and a huge spicy feeling came from his tongue. Sweat appeared on his tongue after just one bite.
Hiss!
Panting heavily, the expression on his face was already twisted.
Why is this thing so spicy!
"Waiter, get me a glass of ice water!"
If he didn't continue to take big breaths, he would instantly die from the spiciness. Even if he spoke, he had to maintain a big breath. If he paused for a second, he would instantly faint from the spiciness.
Even if I can eat spicy food, this thing is too spicy! This was simply a plate of chili oil!'
Ton, ton, ton, ton!
Seeing Aske gulping down the water, Yan Fengqi was not in a hurry. She quietly waited for Aske to 'finish his work' and then give him an explanation.
"Phew, I'm relieved!"
"Then let's go back to the topic just now, Qili.”
Immediately, Yan Feng and Qi Li focused their attention.
"What you desire is not the wish itself.”
"But-"
Yan Feng looked at Aske with a face full of anticipation, just like a young man looking at a young girl who had just come out of the bath. He really wanted to eat it in one bite, making him unable to hold back.
"The process!"
"The process?"
Yan Fengqi seemed to have discovered a new continent, but there was still a trace of doubt. It was as if she had already grasped the answer, but she felt that she had not grasped it completely.
Aske was about to challenge the Mapo Tofu again when he saw the bright red chili and decisively put down the spoon.
"You are enjoying, enjoying the process of finding the answer.”
Asker paused and continued,
"You don't care what your wish is at all. You just enjoy the process of finding your wish. Enjoy the surprises this process brings you, and this process itself is your 'wish'!”
It suddenly became clear!
Yan Fengqi understood why she was interested in Weigong Qiesi and had been looking for him. Why was he still curious about why he was chosen by the Holy Grail despite knowing that he had no wish?
Everything was as Aske had said. He enjoyed the process!
The answer was not important!
"Is this the feeling of pleasure?”
Yan Feng's face was no longer stiff and confused. Instead, it was replaced by a happy smile.
"Since I've helped you solve your doubts, why don't you do me a favor?”
"No, helping me is actually helping you to seek pleasure.”
Aske woke up Yan Fengqi, who was immersed in joy.
"What favor? Caster。”
Yan Fengqi was no longer hostile. Instead, she was interested in what Aske had said about " seeking pleasure."
"Tonight, find an excuse to leave the Tozaka family and Tozaki's side.”
"Leaving Teacher's side? Caster。”
"Of course, I won't tell you my purpose. However, you have always been very obedient to your teacher and have never thought of betraying him. This time, let's try 'betraying' him.”
Yan Fengqi's heart suddenly beat faster, feeling an unprecedented excitement.
"Is this the so-called pleasure?"
"How exciting!"
"I know, Caster. I won't be staying by Teacher's side tonight.”
Aske laughed. All the arrangements had been made, and the next step was to wait for the actors to enter.
He only needed to enjoy this "performance".
However, he suddenly thought of something. Before he left, he said to Yan Feng,
"Speaking of betrayal, it's not just your teacher. What about your father?"
With that, Aske left, leaving Yan Feng and Qili alone in the dining room.
The joy on his face unconsciously overflowed. He had completely found the meaning of his life.
After eating a mouthful of Mapo Tofu, he left expressionlessly.
