The word of the day is stubborn

After his conversation with Qilin Kai, he knew that the relationship between the Qilin and Huishe wasn't simple. Even Huishe Yue expressed his disapproval at first. Their relationship was stamped with the label 'doomed to fail' from the very beginning and he knew that.

But Ji Yao wasn't the type to wait for death. This brings us to the other reason why he personally went after the keystones. He didn't like the idea that something that could ruin his love life was hanging around somewhere waiting for some ambitious person to find it. If he could figure it out then someone else will eventually figure it out as well.

So he took the initiative and wanted to destroy these things so that the threat hanging over his head is eliminated. Yes, he was also selfish especially when it came to matters of the heart. But until his plans came to fruition he didn't want to put a permanent marker just as yet.
