"Yes." The woman smiled and led Yan Li to the inner room of the manor. Yi Ya came out to greet him. He cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect benefactor to arrive at the Immortal World so soon."
"What do you mean?" Yan Li asked curiously, "I remember there was nothing special about those who came to apply for the position."
The couple looked at each other and smiled. They led Yan Li to a brightly lit room. Xia Yuhe brewed tea. Yi Ya invited Yan Li to take a seat and said slowly, "To be precise, Jianghu Town is just a station to enter the Immortal World. Only when you arrive at White Water City can you be considered to have entered the Immortal World. But if you want to go to White Water City, you must have a certificate. "
"What certificate?" Yan Li asked.
"Benefactor, don't worry. You are the third in the Soaring Dragon List. As long as you say your name, you can pass," Yi Ya said.
Xia Yuhe was boiling water and carefully rinsing the tea set. She made a cup of tea for Yan Li. "Jianghu Town is located in a canyon at the intersection of the Immortal World and the Mortal World. It is the Red Rock Canyon itself. Its foundation is thousands of feet deep under the sea. It has been here for tens of thousands of years. Benefactor, you can only fully understand the real Immortal World when you step into it. It can't be described with words. "
Yan Li said, "Really? But there are many problems with this station. "
The couple stopped talking. Yi Ya hesitated and said, "Benefactor, don't ask about Jianghu Town …"
"If it is difficult, then don't say it." Yan Li said.
"Benefactor, please rest early. The room is ready," Xia Yuhe said as she stood up.
Although Yan Li was full of doubts, he didn't ask further. He followed the couple to the guest room to rest.
After cultivating as usual, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. His mind was filled with the same questions.
Whether it was entering the Celestial World without any suspense or being targeted by the people behind Lu Zhantang, there was evidence to be found. However, Gu Caiwei's warning, the exorbitant price of the Jianghu Inn, the strange scene at night, and the suspicious behavior of the Yi Ya couple, were all running through his mind, but he could not find any clues.
The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. The more he thought about it, the more chaotic his thoughts became.
As if she had fallen into a state of ecstasy, she vaguely heard a giggle coming from outside. "It turns out that Senior Sister is hiding in Jianghu Town. No wonder I couldn't find any trace of you even after digging three feet into the Mortal World. It's a pity that Senior Sister won't be able to escape today. Don't tell me that a lowly guest will jump out and save you? "
He suddenly regained his senses and sat up. He saw the bright moon shining in the sky outside the window, illuminating the entire manor. He moved his wrist and slightly frowned. Then, he went through the window and climbed to the roof. He quickly came to the roof of the central room and looked out.
A large portion of the manor was occupied by a lotus pond. At this moment, on the surrounding roofs, there were more than ten beautiful and alluring women. Each of them held an umbrella in their hands, and their faces were full of smiles as they gazed at the lotus pond and the waterside pavilion.
Under the moonlight, inside the waterside pavilion, Yi Ya was leaning against a pillar, clutching his chest. His face was pale and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.
Xia Yuhe knelt on the ground, her face was full of sorrow.
Gu Caiwei's back was facing her. Facing the lotus pond, she said in a sweet voice, "If it wasn't for Senior Sister's zither, it would not have been easy to find you."
Yan Li couldn't help but frown.
Xia Yuhe's face was sad. "We, we … Junior Sister Caiwei, are you so cold-hearted that you won't let us go …"
Gu Caiwei said, "Senior Sister, you should kill your lover and commit suicide. Although I joined the sect late and have never seen you, I don't want to be stained with the blood of my fellow disciples. "
"If that's the case …" Xia Yuhe turned her head and glanced at Yi Ya. The latter gave her a cheerful look and shook his head.
She seemed to have lost all her strength. She slowly raised her head and looked at Gu Caiwei. "Junior Sister Caiwei, please give us some time to finish the last song …"
"Sure." Gu Caiwei smiled. "I believe Senior Sister won't play tricks."
Xia Yuhe stood up with tears in her eyes. She walked over and helped Yi Ya up. "Brother Yi, do you remember how we met? Can you play 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' for me again? "
"Sure." Yi Ya looked at her in a daze and answered affectionately.
Xia Yuhe helped Yi Ya to the zither platform. Yi Ya sat down and put his hands on the zither. He looked up at Xia Yuhe.
"Brother Yi."
"Yuhe."
"Brother Yi."
"Yuhe."
As Yi Ya's hands moved, the melodious sound of the zither floated and spread to every corner of the manor. Naturally, it fell into Yan Li's ears.
Xia Yuhe also looked at Yi Ya in a daze. Slowly, she put on an emerald green wide-sleeved fairy dress.
The dance turned back to the red sleeves. The sorrow of the song was collected. The whole hall was lit up. The seats were beautiful.
Like a flower bud, she slowly bloomed. Gradually, her whole body, matched with the hem of her dress, was like a flower blooming from inside out. Then, accompanied by the sound of the zither, she gradually sank into a state of forgetfulness.
Everyone was attracted by Xia Yuhe's dance. They couldn't take their eyes off her. No one knew when Gu Caiwei turned around. Her beautiful face was as quiet as a baby at this moment.
The sound of the zither became more and more urgent. Her body also danced faster and faster. Her hands moved gracefully, like an otherworldly fairy. The hem of her dress fluttered and the flowing light danced. She was like a flower in the fog, hazy and ethereal.
At this moment, a sudden but not abrupt sound of a flute broke into the world of the two.
The sound of the flute suddenly stopped. Sometimes it led the sound of the zither to sprint. Sometimes it followed behind the sound of the zither.
Gu Caiwei couldn't help but look over. She saw Yan Li standing on the roof of the central room, playing the purple bamboo flute. Although it was still a little rusty, the melody blended with the previous two. The high and low pitches were exactly the same. It showed an extremely high level of attainment in music.
The disciples of the lotus seat wanted to stop Yan Li. At the same time, they didn't have the heart to interrupt. They fell into a contradictory mood.
"Benefactor!"
Xia Yuhe also saw that it was Yan Li. Tears welled up in her eyes. Her dance gradually shone with a beautiful brilliance. Yet, it was so far away.
If one knew the pain in her heart, how could they not shed silent tears.
Gu Caiwei seemed to be touched. She also put on a colorful dress. Her skin was pure and innocent. She stood in the jade pavilion at dawn. She followed the sound of the flute.
"Weiwei …" Xia Yuhe was touched. Her dance became more and more graceful.
"Senior Sister …" Gu Caiwei looked at her and smiled. This smile was enough to topple a city. Even Xia Yuhe, as a girl, couldn't help but feel her heart palpitate.
