Listening to the Rain Pavilion
The Listening Rain Pavilion is a truly magical place. Legend has it that its first master possessed extraordinary powers, capable of using magic. For the right price, he could predict everything from the timing of the heavens to the fate of the nation. For a thousand years, the reputation of the Listening Rain Pavilion has never faded.
The three, cloaked and masked, evaded patrolling soldiers and Heavenly Dao Alliance disciples until they finally arrived at Tingyu Tower. From the outside, it was an ordinary building, even somewhat dilapidated, but the interior was indeed made of genuine jade for the walls and floors. Jiang Yingyue had never seen such a magnificent place in her life.
"Strange, why is there no one in the building today?" Looking at the empty Tingyu Tower, Ye Qingzhu couldn't help but ask. Tingyu Tower is usually packed with people from all over the world who come to ask for information every day, but today there are only a few servants cleaning.
Ye Qingzhu cleared her throat: "Master Jiang?"
Her voice echoed in the building, but no one answered for a long time.
"It's really strange. He's always here no matter when we come before." Ye Qingzhu had come here many times with Ye Xiuzhu and Ye Mozhu before. Although she didn't care what they asked, she still knew a lot about this place.
Jiang Yingyue hadn't yet recovered from the dazzling decorations: "Could it be that they went out on business?"
Just as everyone was worrying, Jiang Yingyue suddenly felt something at her feet. Looking down, she saw a pure black cat with its tail raised, rubbing against her.
“Little White is here, so it’s impossible for the Lord to leave.” Ye Qingzhu looked at Little White, bent down, and reached out to touch it.
Jiang Yingyue immediately looked puzzled: "Xiaobai? This cat?"
“I know, it’s black, right?” Ye Qingzhu replied. Back and forth, the two quickly started discussing the black cat, completely forgetting about finding the landlord.
Ji Yinglei had tried to stop it, but the cat was so cute that once you touched it, you wouldn't care about anything else.
“This is no ordinary cat.” A male voice suddenly rang out from behind her, startling Ji Yinglei. When she turned around, she found him standing right behind her, yet he hadn’t made a sound at all; she hadn’t sensed him at all.
The two people who were discussing also stood up. Ye Qingzhu looked at the man and said, "Master Jiang."
The host seemed to be young, not much older than Jiang Yingyue and the others. He was very polite and mature in his demeanor: "It's been a long time, Miss Ye. These two must be Jiang Yingyue and Ji Yinglei from the Bright Moon Sect."
"You know us?" Ji Yinglei was still subconsciously wary; it seemed he couldn't shake this habit.
The host smiled and said, "I know all the prominent figures in this martial arts world. Besides, you two are well-known in Hangzhou now." As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly remember something, "Look at my memory, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Jiang Shiyi, the eleventh host of Tingyu Tower. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"This cat is clearly all black, so why is it called Little White?" Jiang Yingyue couldn't help but voice her doubts.
Jiang Shiyi did not answer her: "At Tingyu Tower, you have to pay to get an answer to any question."
Jiang Yingyue was a little embarrassed for a moment because she had forgotten about this. However, Jiang Shiyi quickly added, "But this is not a strange question. Since you are all new here, I will give it to you for free."
As if Xiaobai could understand Jiang Shiyi's words, she knew that her question was worthless, so she walked away in a huff.
“Xiaobai is not an ordinary cat, it’s a [monster].” Jiang Shiyi explained with a smile, looking at Jiang Yingyue’s expression, she was sure she had never heard of what a monster was, “Simply put, there are two souls in Xiaobai’s body, and since the white cat controls the body most of the time, it is named Xiaobai.”
"I never imagined that there really are strange things in this world." Ji Yinglei was a man of great knowledge, but he had never seen anything so amazing before, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Have you three decided what you want to ask next?" Jiang Shiyi clapped his hands, and the door to the room in the center of the hall opened in response. "I will be here, waiting for you all."
