"Yan Zixia … Yue Qianchou!" Both of them were stunned. They didn't expect to meet under such circumstances. Then, they looked at each other and smiled. An indescribable feeling lingered between the two of them.
Yue Qianchou smiled awkwardly. Back then, on Supporting Xian Island, he was lonely, so he picked her up. His hands touched her all over, touching all the places that she shouldn't touch. It felt good. Then, both of them left Supporting Xian Island. When they met again, he purposely avoided her. So, although both of them were in the Hundred Flowers Valley, they didn't see each other.
Yan Zixia's faint smile was mixed with some bitterness. She could naturally feel that Yue Qianchou was purposely avoiding her. Now that they met again, she wanted to ask why, but she didn't know how to ask.
"Bang!" The fireworks exploded, releasing a gorgeous light. Both of them saw each other's faces clearly again. Not talking wasn't a solution. Yue Qianchou touched his face and smiled awkwardly. "Why are you here?"
"I saw someone set off fireworks, so I came to take a look. What about you? "Yan Zixia asked.
"I also came to take a look." Yue Qianchou smiled. Their conversation was simple and empty. Then, both of them fell into silence. They looked awkwardly at the place where the fireworks were set off.
After a long time, Yan Zixia suddenly asked, "Is the woman who set off the fireworks the lady in purple dress who was with you?"
"Do you know her?" Yue Qianchou asked.
"I don't." Yan Zixia shook her head lightly. "Who doesn't know Yue Qianchou's name in the cultivation world? Who doesn't know that Yue Qianchou has a lady in purple dress with unfathomable cultivation? You … You two are dao companions?"
"Uh … We're Dual Cultivation Dao Companions?" Yue Qianchou was stunned, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." He thought in his heart. That little girl probably doesn't even know what it means to go to bed now, Dual Cultivation my ass. He pointed at Zi Yi and the four young masters and said, "Can't you see anything?"
When Yan Zixia heard this, she took a closer look and smiled. She could also tell that the four successors of the four great clans were pursuing Zi Yi. If Zi Yi was really Yue Qianchou's dao companion, how could he just stand there and do nothing? Turning her head, she smiled sweetly and said, "That lady in purple is also a stunning beauty. She has been by your side for a long time. Could it be that you have never been moved? Why did you allow others to pursue her?"
Yue Qianchou smiled bitterly and shook his head. He thought to himself, "That girl's father is not easy to deal with. It's better not to touch him. Besides, I already have a few good women. I'm already satisfied."
Yan Zixia looked at him in a daze. The little disciple of Supporting Immortals Island back then had already risen to fame. Could he continue his fate? Recalling the past, he couldn't help but ask, "You owe me something. Do you still remember?"
"Uh …" Yue Qianchou was stunned. "What do I owe you?"
"It seems like you have forgotten." Yan Zixia looked at the sky and waited for a firework to explode. She smiled bitterly and said, "You promised to compose a song for me. If you really forgot, then forget it."
"Uh …" Yue Qianchou was speechless. Thinking about it carefully, he did casually promise her back then. He almost forgot about it. He didn't expect her to remember it.
"Dong, dong, dong, dong …" While the two of them were speechless, suddenly, a melodious sound of a zither could be heard. Even the 'bang bang' of the fireworks couldn't cover its penetrative power. It clearly spread across the wilderness. It was obvious that the person who played the zither injected true essence into it. The two of them couldn't help but look at each other. They were just talking about a song and someone was playing the zither. Wasn't it too much of a coincidence?
The people who were watching the fireworks looked towards the source of the sound. On the other side of the river, under the cold moon and the brilliant fireworks, there was a beautiful woman in a red dress sitting on a giant rock that had been standing for god knows how many years. Her face was covered by a red veil, and there was a zither on her crossed legs. Her fingers were as delicate as jade, and the melodious sound of the zither could be heard. Although they couldn't see her face, judging from her demeanor, she must be an enchanting beauty. The people whispered to each other, not knowing where this mysterious woman came from.
The few people who were setting off the fireworks stopped. The night sky returned to normal, and only the sound of the zither could be heard. Zi Yi looked at Bi Zicong and the other three people with a questioning gaze. The latter shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know who it was.
"Uh … Uh … I am a fox that has been cultivating for a thousand years. A thousand years of cultivation, a thousand years of loneliness. In the dead of night, can anyone hear me crying? In the dim light, can anyone see me dancing …" The woman plucked the strings of the zither and hummed a rhythm. Her voice was faint and moving, and it echoed across the wilderness.
"Isn't this the song you composed?" Yan Zixia turned her head and asked.
"Huh? Oh! I think it is, "Yue Qianchou stuttered. His facial expression kept twitching. It was so interesting. The others couldn't tell who the woman was, but he could. Even if he couldn't see her, he could tell from the voice. Who else could it be other than his master's wife, the Enchantress of Hundred Charms? He just didn't know why she came here to play the zither in the middle of the night.
Zi Yi was suspicious when she saw the woman, but when she heard the song, she couldn't hide the surprise on her face. Although she didn't know much about the world, Nongzhu was a master of music. Having been influenced for so many years, she could naturally tell the good from the bad. It was the first time for her to hear such a melodious and popular song. After singing a few lines, a sad story appeared in front of her.
"Isn't this song from Aung Kwang-tsung, White Fox?" Bi Zicong looked at the woman under the moonlight and frowned. Zi Yi asked, "You mean the song is called White Fox?"
"I don't know, but many people say so." Bi Zicong smiled. Zi Yi nodded and said, "It's a very appropriate song name."
"Miss Zi Yi, you probably don't know yet! It's said that this song was composed by Mr. Yue. "Tan Fei smiled and said.
"You mean Yue Qianchou? He can compose music? How is that possible? "Zi Yi was shocked. Then she shook her head and denied the rumor. Ever since she had known Yue Qianchou, she had never seen that he had any talent in this area. It should be said that the man's words and actions were not even close to his ability to compose music. If he had half the demeanor of his master, she might have believed it. In short, it was impossible.
In fact, this rumor had been around for a long time. But no one could imagine that Yue Qianchou, who was known as a scum and a madman, could compose music and play the zither. Wu Licheng thought about it and couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and said, "It's just a rumor after all. Rumors may not be true. I also don't think Mr. Yue would do it."
"There's also a song called Dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies. It's also a rare classic. It's said that it was composed by Mr. Yue. If it was really composed by Mr. Yue, then … hehe!" Before Jing Zuo finished his sentence, he and the others started laughing. They all thought it was a joke.
"Dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies? Is it better than White Fox? Do you know how to sing it? "Zi Yi asked curiously.
Just as she asked, the woman on the other side of the river finished her song. The melody of the zither changed. After the first song, another style of song was sung, "Yesterday was like the flowing water in the east, far away from me. Today, my heart is in chaos, so much worry …" Maybe it was because the song was really good, there were many fireflies flying around her in the silent night. They danced around her, adding to the beauty of the song.
Jing Zuo smiled and said, "Miss Zi Yi, didn't you want to listen to Dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies? Here it is. " Zi Yi heard him and opened her red lips slightly. Her eyes looked at the other side of the river. She was completely immersed in the melancholy melody and forgot to reply …
The Enchantress of Hundred Charms had extraordinary attainments in music. She played the rhythm of the song in a captivating manner. The listeners on the other side of the river were listening to her singing quietly. Yue Qianchou's eyes kept darting around. He didn't know what she was trying to do by doing this. Suddenly, his eyes met with the Enchantress of Hundred Charms, and a trace of slyness flashed across the latter's eyes. Yue Qianchou felt that something was wrong. She might be targeting him, but he did not know what she was trying to do.
When the song ended, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the melody changed again. Although it was not as familiar as the previous two songs, the helpless feelings that came from the other side of the river were enough to stir people's hearts. Under the moonlight, the red lips moved and sang, "Don't talk about the past. Life is full of ups and downs. Even if you can't erase your memories, love and hate are still in your heart. If you really want to cut off the past and let tomorrow continue, you don't have to pester me anymore …"
The Enchantress of Hundred Charms sang this song with great emotion. It was the first time the crowd heard it and they were amazed. Yue Qianchou unconsciously crossed his arms in front of his chest. He squinted his eyes and mumbled in his heart, 'What is she doing? Is she trying to hold a concert? '
He turned his head to look at Yan Zixia. Seeing her infatuated face, Yue Qianchou opened his mouth but he was speechless. He only felt goosebumps all over his body.
Zi Yi's eyes widened. She subconsciously pulled Bi Zicong and asked, "What's the name of this song?"
"Ah!" Bi Zicong came back to his senses. He shook his head and said, "It sounds good, but I've never heard it before. I don't know what it's called. Maybe I'm ignorant. Do you guys know?" He asked Wu Licheng and the other two. The three of them thought hard and shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
Zi Yi was a little disappointed. She wanted to ask the other side of the river, but she was afraid that she would disturb the other party's performance. She could only listen to the other side of the river quietly until the song ended …
After the song ended, the Enchantress of Hundred Charms pressed her hands on the strings to stop the lingering sound. She stood on the huge rock with the guqin in her arms. Under the moonlight, even the red veil could not hide her graceful figure. One of her hands gently pulled down the veil that covered half of her face. Her charming face was finally revealed in front of everyone …
Those who knew her exclaimed, "The Enchantress of Enchanted Palace!"
"So it's her … I was wondering why she looked so familiar … After the Enchantress of Enchanted Palace was wiped out, didn't she go into hiding … Why is she here to play the guqin …" The crowd whispered to each other in surprise.
The Enchantress of Hundred Charms looked around and giggled. "I've been hiding for so many years. I didn't expect so many people to recognize me. How rare."
Yue Qianchou was slightly stunned. She had revealed her identity again. It seemed that she wanted to come out openly. At this moment, a burst of laughter came from behind him. "I was wondering who was in the mood. So it's Palace Master Ye."
Yue Qianchou turned around and saw a group of people standing behind him. They were probably attracted by the sound of the guqin. Dongfang Chang 'ao and Qiu Wuyuan stood side by side. The one who laughed was Qiu Wuyuan. He flashed over the crowd and landed in front of the huge rock across the river.
"So it's the leader of Ten Thousand Demons, Elder Qiu." The Enchantress of Hundred Charms glanced at him. Her expression was indifferent and a little rude. The Enchantment Palace was destroyed, but the leader of Ten Thousand Demons did not help. She was a little unhappy.
Qiu Wuyuan smiled awkwardly. "Palace Master Ye, I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect you to be as powerful as ever. The war of the Cultivation World has just begun and we need a master like you to join us." Yue Qianchou nodded secretly. It was the first time he heard that the Enchantress of Hundred Charms' surname was Ye.
"The Enchantment Palace is gone. What does the war of the Cultivation World have to do with me? I don't want to participate in the war. I'm only here to visit a friend. " The Enchantress of Hundred Charms bluntly refused and turned to look at Yue Qianchou. She resumed her charming smile and said, "I have lived in seclusion for many years and am fond of music. By chance, I ran into the composer of the White Fox and the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Dream, so I asked him for a song. Just now, I played and sang 'Love Has Become a Thing of the Past'. Recently, I suddenly heard that Sir appeared in Hundred Flowers Valley again, so I came to pay a visit, hoping to learn another song.
Everyone followed her gaze. It was none other than Yue Qianchou, whose expression was twitching. They were in an uproar. Could it be that he really composed those songs? Ziyi, Bi Zicong, and the others turned around. They were still in disbelief when they saw it was Yue Qianchou.
Yan Zixia believed it without a doubt because she had seen it with her own eyes. She asked in a low voice, "The song just now was called Love Is Past?"
Damn it! What was this woman trying to do? Yue Qianchou looked around and smiled at the Enchantress of Hundred Charms. "Palace Master Ye, you're being too polite. It's just a joke. It's not worth asking for advice."
"I've come all the way here. Are you going to let me go home disappointed?" The Enchantress of Hundred Charms laughed.
Although it was a joke, Yue Qianchou felt that there was a hint of threat in it, which made him very unhappy. He looked at Yan Zixia beside him and thought to himself, 'Forget it. I'll just take it as fulfilling my promise to her!'
He threw out a green flying sword and flew to the Enchantress of Hundred Charms. He glared at her. The Enchantress of Hundred Charms did not mind. She smiled charmingly and pushed the zither in her hand to him. She then gave way to him and floated to the bottom of the giant rock. Yue Qianchou held the zither with one hand and looked at Yan Zixia. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Back then, I promised someone that I would compose a song for her. Unfortunately, I've never fulfilled my promise. I'm ashamed that she asked me about it today. I'll just borrow your zither to fulfill my promise!"
He sat down with his legs crossed. He closed his eyes and pondered for a while. He randomly picked a song from his memory and brewed it. When he opened his eyes, his fingers were already playing the zither skillfully.
The clear and refreshing sound of the zither weaved out a beautiful melody, and the people on the other side of the river were immediately stunned. Qiu Wuyuan stared at the fingers that were playing the zither. He realized that it was not an act. His mouth turned into a circle. Bi Zicong and the other three looked at each other. They said that it was impossible just now, but it became a reality in the blink of an eye. Ziyi's mouth was opened so wide that an egg could be stuffed in it. It was unbelievable …
