When he returned to his residence after school, there was an unexpected visitor. It was Xiao Chun, the maid of Prajna Futu.
"My, my Miss would like to invite you to the Duckweed Garden." The little girl stood outside the fence, timid, as if the person in front of her had suddenly become a stranger. Moreover, she was half a step away from the door, not daring to move an inch. His gaze wandered about. He was extremely afraid, but he was also a little curious.
"Did she say what's the matter?" Yan Li was about to cultivate and did not want to go out. He had spent the morning cultivating his Sword Heart, so he had not cultivated his Qi today. Any later and it would be night.
With the stars in the sky, cultivation should be easier. However, the Nine Levels of Martial Arts absorbed the thin Qi between heaven and earth. It was the thickest during the day, and the thinner the later it was.
"Talk, talk." Xiao Chun was still stammering.
"Are you afraid of me?" Yan Li raised the corner of his mouth, "I remember you were not afraid before. What changed your impression of me?"
"I did not!" Xiao Chun raised her eyebrows, a little angry.
Once she was angry, she returned to her original nature, like a cat with a perverse temperament, not willing to show weakness.
Suddenly, she thought of Yan Li's identity, and her momentum dropped. She frowned and said, "You are a robber. You kill and rob people. You do all kinds of evil. My Miss said not to get close to this kind of person. You will be contaminated …"
Her eyebrows became more and more serious. She was at a loss for words and stammered, "I will be contaminated!"
Yan Li suddenly lost interest in teasing her and turned back into the house.
Xiao Chun raised her eyebrows again. She wanted to say something angry, but she became weak when she was about to say it. "My Miss is your teacher. She invited you to meet her and talk about some things. How could you refuse? As the saying goes, a teacher for a day, a teacher for a lifetime … Uh …"
Just as she was thinking about how to describe it, Yan Li came out again, holding a flute and music scores.
Xiao Chun suddenly understood. It was not that he did not want to go, but he went in to get something.
Humph! This guy is still so annoying, humph!
"You lead the way. I just moved here and I'm not familiar with this place," Yan Li said.
Xiao Chun immediately quickened his steps and widened the distance between them. Only then did he dare to sneer and say, "You have a very good sense of direction when you're running for your life."
Suddenly, he remembered that he had killed all the people who had chased after him. Immediately, a chill ran down his spine, and he couldn't help but shiver.
How could such a bandit and murderer still hide in this Xanadu and wander around leisurely?
However, the little girl could only see the facts and not the process.
That was the way of the world. Many things that seemed unfair, but who knew how much they had sacrificed for it?
After a long period of silence, Xiao Chun suddenly felt the desire to speak again. She didn't try to restrain herself, so she said, "Young, Young Master Yan, did you really grow up in a bandit's nest? How many people have you killed? Did you really burn hundreds of thousands of people in Lianyun Mountain to death? "
Yan Li smiled and said, "If you were your Miss, you would see countless resentful spirits surrounding me."
Xiao Chun felt a chill run down her spine. She quickened her pace, no longer in the mood to ask questions.
Arriving at Duckweed Garden, the Floating Wisdom Diagram was already brewing tea in the pavilion.
When Xiao Chun saw it, she immediately went over to take over, grumbling in a low voice, "Miss, you can't see, so it's best if you don't do such dangerous things. What if you get burned? Hmph, giving this annoying guy a cup of water is already a gift. What tea is there to boil? "
Presumably, the latter part of her sentence was what she really meant.
The Floating Wisdom Diagram smiled and gestured, "Young Master Yan, please sit."
Yan Li smiled and said, "Teacher thinks too highly of me. Right now, you and I are actually master and disciple. With Teacher sitting here, how could this student dare to sit together with you? Absolutely not."
Although he said absolutely not, he still sat down, causing Xiao Chun to roll her eyes repeatedly. She just couldn't help but feel that he was extremely detestable and annoying.
"Why did Teacher summon me here?" Yan Li asked with a smile.
"Don't you have karma in your hands?" The Floating Wisdom Diagram asked back with a hint of Zen.
Yan Li held the purple flute and music score in his hands. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said, "It's never a burden to have more skills. It's just that I've been so busy recently that I haven't thought about it. So I brought them here to ask for advice. Unexpectedly, I coincidentally met you. What a pleasant surprise."
"What a pleasant surprise!" Xiao Chun put the teacup down heavily in front of him, glaring fiercely at him. "Don't use such witty words to coax my Miss."
Yan Li shrugged innocently and said, "I'm afraid your Miss is even more worried about you."
"What did you say!" Xiao Chun's face instantly turned red. She was very angry. In front of the Floating Wisdom Diagram, she still had some confidence.
Yan Li ignored her and put down the music score. He picked up the purple flute and studied it carefully. He had practiced the zither since he was young and was proficient in temperament. As the saying goes, "learning by analogy", he was no stranger to other musical instruments.
This was a seven-hole zither flute. The flute's texture was exquisite and slightly cool. It should have been made of more than a hundred years old purple bamboo. The holes of the flute were uniform and smooth. The craftsmanship was very exquisite. It must have come from the hands of a master. Although it was not a treasured weapon, it was still of the highest quality among the flutes.
"Young Master is proficient in temperament. I believe I don't need to spend much effort to teach you. The playing of the flute focuses on four key points: Qi, fingers, lips, and tongue. Qi refers to breathing in and out. Fingers refers to the nimbleness of the fingers … "
To Yan Li, the rudimentary skills of playing the flute were very simple.
Cultivators had a longer breath than ordinary people. In addition, they were proficient in the zither. Their fingers were very nimble.
In less than an hour, Yan Li played the first song.
It was not difficult to learn, but mastering it was not something that could be done in a day or two.
Following that, the Buddha Wisdom passed on some key points to Yan Li. She performed two songs on the spot. They were both composed by herself. They had the effect of calming the mind.
At the end, Yan Li put away the flute score. He smiled and said, "Although it is not the right time to teach by words, I think there must be something else for you to ask me to come here. Why don't I speak frankly?"
"As expected, I can't hide it from you." The Buddha Wisdom smiled faintly. "Today, I am only a middleman. The one who really wants to see you is someone else."
"Oh?" Receiving an unexpected answer, Yan Li was a little curious.
"She is waiting for you at Drifting Cloud Xiao Zhu." The Buddha Wisdom said.
Drifting Cloud Xiao Zhu was extremely famous in the Academy and even in Yongling. That was because it was Shen Liuyun's residence. Everyone was curious. What kind of seductive room would a woman like her have?
It was a pity that even the Mountain Chieftain had never entered Drifting Cloud Xiao Zhu. It was not that there were no courageous people. There was once an instructor from the Inner Yard who tried to catch a glimpse of Xiao Zhu's elegance. Unfortunately, he died before he could step into the door. Drifting Cloud Xiao Zhu was thus dyed with a layer of mystery.
Yan Li stood outside Xiao Zhu's door. He thought about why Shen Liuyun was looking for him. It was very likely that it was to settle a score.
But since she had sent a message on his behalf, it meant that she had no killing intent. Her life was not in danger. It was just that some suffering was unavoidable.
Thinking of this, he was about to knock on the door when it suddenly creaked open. A shadow rushed out from inside and slammed into him.
