Chapter 101 101 Cracks
Song Chi successfully evaded Mo Shubai and returned to the guild hall, where he immediately sealed off the courtyard.
From now on, unless it's for a mission, she will absolutely not leave the house. She will also absolutely not meet with Mo Shubai, at least not until the side effects of those eyes subside.
The remaining tasks involving the Golden Scrolls are simply that she takes the Immortal Demon Spirit Root to the sacrificial hall to unseal it. To be honest, it's nothing major.
As for Xie Lanqing, having obtained the keys, they shouldn't need her help anymore, right? In the book, the original owner and Xie Lanqing encountered a maze, wandering for half a day without finding a way out. Then, under the influence of the love potion, the two sat back-to-back in an ambiguous manner all night. Presumably, this was because they lacked the keys to guide them. However, at dawn, Xie Lanqing still received guidance and obtained the weapon-refining inheritance.
However, I guess they didn't receive the entire inheritance? Or is this version a bit special? Anyway, considering that all the main and supporting characters in the original book were nearly killed by the lightning tribulation when they reached the Immortal Realm, they probably didn't receive the entire inheritance that time.
But this time, with the key in hand, Song Chi felt that she wouldn't need to lend a hand again.
Sure enough, Jin Juan remained silent until late into the night. Song Chi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Well, then she'd have to stay in bed for a few days.
Mo Shubai had said he would return to the guild hall in an hour or two, but he didn't. He didn't hear any noise in the courtyard until the moon was high in the sky.
At that moment, Song Chi hesitated for a moment, but still secretly broke the seal and glanced over there.
Mo Shubai was gazing at the moon from his second-floor window when, perhaps sensing her movements, his gaze quietly met hers.
Song Chi immediately and gently closed the seal. His eyes were clear and bright, actually devoid of any emotion, but they probably possessed some kind of deep affection buff—or rather, something sinister!
We need to avoid it again.
At that moment, the gold scroll moved.
"To become the musician in the shamanic dance of the sacrificial ceremony, one must use music to exorcise evil spirits."
Furthermore, it was specified that a new piece must be played by a pair of guqin and pipa with extremely strong metal spiritual roots, perfectly blending the drumbeats of the Heroic Dance and the steps of the Witch Dance, in order to achieve the exorcising effect. It was also specifically noted that the evil spirit might be a subordinate king this time, and even if the subordinate king was deeply suppressed under the formation, its destructive power was extremely strong, so she must not be careless.
Song Chi: "..." Doesn't she even look at the conditions she's set? Does she think she's some kind of music master who can compose for songs and dances?
However, since it's the arrangement of the immortals, she can probably pick out some songs from her little repertoire to match. We'll find out when we go to the Hall of Heroes.
At this moment, Master called Mo Shubai over to talk.
Song Chi pried open a small part of the seal to listen in. It turned out that the witch's dance in the Hall of Heroes had been arranged in advance, but for some reason, a sudden surge of spiritual energy in the Hall of Heroes disrupted the previous array arrangements.
Mo Shubai happened to be in charge of this area, which is why he was so busy that he didn't get back until so late at night.
"Now that the formation is complete, the only thing missing is the matter of the Musical Immortal Music. Those drums were damaged by the spiritual energy, and we need to gather new immortal drums to replace them. Also, two musicians from the Immortal Alliance were injured by the spiritual energy, and we need to find other musicians to continue the melody."
So that's how it is. No wonder the mission suddenly asked her to be the musician. It's likely that the unexpected surge of spiritual energy in the Hall of Heroes was orchestrated by the ascended beings, so that she could easily step in and fill the gap.
Here's the problem.
Mo Shubai is in charge of this area, and she's going to become a musician. That means she'll still need to interact with him.
Although separated by a seal... no, at this moment Mo Shubai seemed to sense something and glanced over slightly.
Song Chi quickly withdrew his dog-like eyes.
No, we must avoid Mo Shubai.
To accomplish this task, besides Mo Shubai, Xue Rongzhan was the only one left to oversee all matters related to the sacrificial ceremonies.
To be honest, Song Chi still doesn't like Xue Rongzhan.
Choosing between these two extreme options was truly a life-threatening situation. Thus, Song Chi became melancholy.
The next morning, Venerable Xueqiao noticed that something was amiss with Song Chi.
That brat got up early this morning and sat by the lotus pond, banging stones against the small water.
The stone was thrown in, which brought the spiritual energy from the bottom of the water out, and then it was thrown in again.
She sat with her hand propping up her chin, her posture somewhat carefree. Her face looked calm, no different from usual. But Venerable Xueqiao still felt that this girl seemed a little troubled, even a little worried…
You might say she's having problems with her cultivation? Definitely not. In fact, in the last two days, he even detected a hint of water elemental root in her music. Her progress has been so remarkable that he was quite moved for two days straight.
Thank God, this girl is finally starting to grow up.
Therefore, it is definitely not a cultivation issue.
At this moment, Shu Bai from next door also came out. When he reached the door, he glanced at the neighboring house with his divine sense. That kind of spiritual energy... Venerable Xue Qiao had noticed it. This kid could probably use the spiritual energy of that immortal lotus to see through the seal on Song Chi's side.
Shu Bai glanced at Song Chi's sullen face, sighed with pity, then looked at the distant morning mist before smiling and leaving, her back filled with tender affection.
Venerable Xueqiao wondered what the boy was sighing about, and then glanced at Song Chi's appearance. His heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that the two of them had a fight and drifted apart? Indeed, some rumors have been circulating these past two days, saying that the engagement between Shu Bai and Song Chi might be in jeopardy. After all, he took Song Chi to the Mo family and came back without any news of an engagement being released, so the busybodies in the cultivation world are spreading rumors again.
If that's the case. Fine, Venerable Xueqiao decided to have someone spread the word that he believes the most important thing right now is to unseal the Flying Immortal Platform, and the marriage matter can be discussed later. Hopefully, this will quell those gossipy rumors.
But to be honest, Venerable Xueqiao also felt that Shubai was the kind of person who would be willing to argue with his third junior sister, so the problem probably lay with this brat.
I wonder what kind of mess they're up to this time.
That brat is a real troublemaker!
Then, when the morning mist dissipated and the sun rose.
Song Chi finally stood up from the pool and dusted off his hands. "Let's do it this way, sigh."
She spoke with a resigned tone, and went back to her room to write a post.
Venerable Xueqiao didn't bother to read what she wrote, but a moment later Song Chi sent a young boy to deliver a letter to her. It was to be sent to Xue Rongzhan of the Ziyan Divine Palace!
"That brat!" Venerable Xueqiao couldn't help but rub his forehead. More than ten years ago in Qiongyu City, there was a scandalous incident of brothers fighting each other. Did she want to start another one where her fellow disciples fought over her?
Otherwise, she sent an invitation to Xie Lanqing yesterday, and today, changing her tune, she invited Xue Rongzhan as well. She's deliberately trying to get those two fellow disciples to cause trouble for her.
Shu Bai, look at you, you don't even care.
Song Chi ultimately decided to avoid Mo Shubai for the time being, so he sent an invitation to Xue Rongzhan. Of course, it was unclear whether Xue Rongzhan would accept.
After all, she had almost completely ignored his snow plum blossoms and the various New Year's gifts that followed...
Now that she's suddenly remembered this person and is even asking if she can go with him to the sacrificial ceremony to broaden her horizons, she doesn't know if Xue Rongzhan will just ignore her.
The truth is, she sent out the post two hours ago, almost noon, and still hadn't received a reply.
Song Chi thought to herself, "Sure enough, now that I'm trying to get close to them, they don't want to talk to me anymore. That's only human nature, and there's nothing wrong with that."
Then she paced back and forth in the hall like a crab for a few steps, then suddenly slapped her forehead. How could she have forgotten Xie Lanqing?
This person is also in charge of matters related to the sacrificial ceremony, perhaps not the witch dance of the Hall of Heroes, but he is still allowed to use the privileges of the young master of the Purple Palace. Besides, as a musician, Song Chi felt that he was quite competent.
Therefore, she decisively wrote a letter to Xie Lanqing and sent it up the mountain as soon as possible.
As it turned out, the messenger owl had only flown away for a short while when it received a message from Xue Rongzhan. He not only agreed to her request but also specially wrote the words "I am honored."
Song Chi: "..." Look at the mess this has made.
Then, during the fifteen minutes she was speechless, the beautiful little purple sparrow that was Xie Lanqing's personal messenger flew to her window.
Xie Lanqing was more direct. He said he would go down the mountain immediately and pick her up in front of the Qingjian Sect's guild hall later. It just so happened that he had some business to attend to at the sacrificial ceremony, so it was convenient for him.
Well, you see. Between Xue Rongzhan and Xie Lanqing, Song Chi truly prefers spending time with Xie Lanqing.
It's not a matter of who is better or worse in appearance; both are among the Four Beauties, and naturally, each has her own unique charm.
In terms of personality, she preferred the free-spirited Xie Lanqing. Xue Rongzhan, with his feudal, domineering fatherly nature, was too intimidating; even just looking at him made her feel suffocated.
Wen Yujiu also possessed this kind of dignified bearing, but Wen Yujiu's hidden serious illness made him even more interesting.
In short, Song Chi decisively wrote a letter. First, she expressed her deepest gratitude to Xue Rongzhan for agreeing to such a trivial request despite his busy schedule. Then, she sincerely apologized, explaining that she happened to be going to the sacrificial ceremony with Xie Lanqing on her way, and therefore dared not trouble such a busy man. She then had the spirit owl escort it up the mountain.
Xue Rongzhan was busy at the sacrificial hall all morning and didn't return to the sect until almost noon.
He then dealt with some documents before seeing Song Chi's post, and immediately his lips curled into a pursed smile. He promptly replied to the post, and after abandoning his official duties to burn incense, bathe, and tidy himself up, he returned to the council hall to retrieve a few documents to go down the mountain to fetch Song Chi.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the council chamber, they received a second invitation from Song Chi. It was another rejection.
The mention of his junior brother Xie Lanqing going to see Song Chi on the way left Xue Rongzhan speechless. Lanqing had been busy all morning and didn't return until noon; what could he possibly be doing on the way?
But to everyone's surprise, at this moment, Junior Brother Lan Qing, dressed in a pink robe as white as clouds and rosy hues, gracefully arrived at the entrance of the council hall and even asked a question.
"Hmm, those golden roses on this post look familiar."
Xue Rongzhan was immediately torn between whether or not to accept the invitation, but he was very curious as to why Song Chi said that his junior brother Lan Qing had made an appointment with her.
That's how Xie Lanqing saw the contents of the post. At that moment, Xie Lanqing was leaning against the door frame, suppressing a laugh, almost bursting into tears.
"So it turns out she rejected my senior's invitation but accepted mine."
As she spoke, she unfolded a gold rose scented sticker.
Xue Rongzhan took the letter and glanced at it, then called someone to ask Song Chi when the letters had arrived. He discovered that the first one had been delivered to him early that morning, but he hadn't seen it because he had been busy all morning.
So this guy had quite a temper; he immediately sent a letter to his junior brother, and then rejected him right after.
Xie Lanqing then went to the council hall to retrieve two documents, and with a smile, had someone specially summon the young palace master's light blue, ornate glass palace carriage.
"In that case, senior brother, I will go and pick up junior sister Song first."
Xue Rongzhan ignored him and jumped onto the palace carriage. However, his junior brother Lan Qing tried to stop him.
"After all, you ignored her all morning, and she's angry right now. Senior brother, you'd better get off the bus."
Lan Qing's amused expression left Xue Rongzhan speechless. He waved his hand and told the driver to move on.
They soon arrived at the entrance of the Azure Sword Sect, where Song Chi was already waiting.
She didn't dress up much, just casually climbed onto the palace carriage in a simple white dress.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" He greeted her with a smile as soon as he arrived.
Then she noticed Xue Rongzhan sitting to the side, and her nose twitched immediately. "So Senior Brother Rongzhan is here too."
Xue Rongzhan knew very well that this little twitching of the nose was actually a sign that Song Chi was slightly surprised and embarrassed.
"Junior Sister Song, please come inside and have a seat," Xue Rongzhan said gently.
Actually, his gesture of inviting him was a slight indication that he was pointing to the seat not far from him.
But after thanking him with a smile, Song Chi deliberately sat down next to his junior brother Lan Qing. At that moment, the young man's eyes lit up, and he chuckled silently twice. He truly loved watching the drama unfold!
Indeed, what truly baffled Xue Rongzhan was that Song Chi not only disliked him, but even somewhat hated him. And yet, over the years, he had gradually grown to love her pure, innocent, yet cold and ruthless beauty…
It was probably karma. He wanted to experience just how ruthless someone could be to him, and she showed him what an unmelting, icy heart she possessed…
As for the growing estrangement between Song Chi and Shu Bai, anyone with eyes could see it.
Although taking advantage of the situation at this time is certainly not a good thing, he still wanted to compete with this person. Therefore, he could only apologize to Brother Shubai.
However, the glazed palace carriage soon arrived at the sacrificial hall in the northwest.
Xue Rongzhan got out of the carriage and headed to the main hall. Because the sudden spiritual explosion at the Hall of Heroes last night had damaged the formation of the Immortal Witch Stage, Shu Bai was probably in a terrible state of panic. However, the sacrificial ceremony arrangements along the Heroes River all the way to the main hall were damaged, especially the main hall, which almost needed to be rearranged.
Therefore, Xue Rongzhan should take Song Chi to see the main hall first, just as she had said, to broaden her horizons.
However, Xue Rongzhan soon discovered that whenever Junior Brother Lan Qing wanted to go towards the side hall, Song Chi would abandon him and follow Junior Brother Lan Qing...
He had to use a secret code to keep his junior brother Lan Qing in the main hall, and only after that kid's series of laughs echoed in his mind did he manage to keep Song Chi there.
Even so, Song Chi put his hands behind his back and looked around, but soon lost interest and leaned against the window. To be honest, setting up formations was indeed quite boring.
Xue Rongzhan was thinking that it wouldn't hurt to take Song Chi to see the various sacrificial ceremonies downstream, where the flowers and trees were lush and green.
Unexpectedly, Song Chi had already reached Lan Qing's side and was asking in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Xie, you're in charge of the main hall's affairs? Is there anything else you need to do?"
Judging from her tone, if Junior Brother Lan Qing really wasn't in charge of other matters, she'd probably turn around and leave. What's with this guy...? He's always been extremely goal-oriented, so much so that sometimes it's hard not to hate him.
"All matters concerning this sacrificial ceremony are being handled by my senior brother and me. What, would you like to go somewhere else?"
Junior Brother Lan Qing also recognized Song Chi's unscrupulousness and answered in this way.
Song Chi immediately raised an eyebrow. "I'm actually quite interested in the music of the Heroes' Hall's Witch Dance!"
Upon hearing this, Junior Brother Lan Qing immediately looked enlightened.
"I was just about to go over there to take a look. Two new musicians have arrived. I wonder how well their music is playing."
"Then let's go, let's go!" Song Chi immediately showed a hint of joy.
To be honest, this kind of silhouette, seemingly with tiny wings fluttering in a small joy, is actually quite adorable. Xue Rongzhan deeply loves it.
"I also happen to have some business to attend to at the Hall of Heroes, so why don't we go together?"
He immediately went over and said this.
At that moment, Song Chi, who was following his junior brother Lan Qing, only glanced at the flowerbed beside him. But Xue Rongzhan had reason to suspect that it was actually a sidelong glance directed at him.
At that moment, the laughter of his junior brother Lan Qing immediately echoed in his mind.
Xue Rongzhan was a little annoyed, but it didn't bother him. Song Chi had angered him like this more than once or twice, so he could take it.
The three then boarded a boat and sailed down the river. Along the way, Xue Rongzhan and Xie Lanqing did indeed handle some matters in various places.
It took half an hour to reach the Hall of Heroes, the starting point of the sacrificial ceremony.
The drumbeats could be heard from afar, sounding deep and resonant. But when it came to the piano parts, there were always a few places where the music seemed out of tune, producing various jarring noises.
Xue Rongzhan and Xie Lanqing were both quite surprised. They really hadn't expected that the heroic and magical melody could stump someone as capable as Mo Shubai.
Because of the protective array, they couldn't see what was happening inside.
The three urged their boat to approach quickly. Xue Rongzhan entered the formation with the token in his hand and saw that Shu Bai was adjusting the formation in the nearby river. When he saw them coming, he stopped the formation flag in his hand and looked over.
"Rong Zhan, you've arrived."
When Mo Shubai looked over, Xue Rongzhan had actually intentionally left a space in the middle, trying to let Song Chi stand next to her. Junior Brother Lan Qing also keenly made room for her, but Song Chi stepped in and quietly took two steps, landing next to Junior Brother Lan Qing.
At that moment, Xue Rongzhan heard Lan Qing's light laughter again in his mind.
Indeed, he hadn't expected Song Chi to dislike him so thoroughly.
"Senior Brother." Song Chi actually bowed to Mo Shubai upon seeing him.
This was really too distant. What surprised Xue Rongzhan was that Shu Bai didn't seem to notice anything amiss. Instead, she smiled faintly and said softly, "So Third Junior Sister has come too."
"I was bored at the guild hall and originally just wanted to come to the sacrificial ceremony to broaden my horizons, so I asked Senior Brother Xie to show me the way. I never expected that Senior Brother was in charge of the Hall of Heroes and Martyrs."
Song Chi's sudden realization was so poorly acted that not only was Xue Rongzhan speechless, but even his junior brother Lan Qing couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Shu Bai, however, only gave a faint smile.
"I just encountered some problems with the sound of my zither, and it's perfect timing that my third junior sister came to help me figure it out."
At that moment, a light flashed behind Song Chi, and he glanced at Shu Bai with clear eyes. "I can help take a look, but I may not be able to help Senior Brother."
Shu Bai lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, saying it was alright. He then led the way.
"Third Junior Sister, Brother Rong Zhan, Junior Brother Lan Qing, this way please."
The Hall of Heroes is located in the center of Changge City. The bright red hall stands tall and majestic, like a god standing quietly on the south bank of the River of Heroes.
The Witch Dance takes place on the wide Yinglie River in front of the Hall of Heroes, with many golden lotus leaves arranged in a formation floating on the lake. Dancers will then perform the ancient and simple Witch Dance on these lotus leaves to commemorate the spirits of the fallen heroes.
Several Halls for Transmitting Sound were built along the east bank of the River of Heroes, where musicians and others played music for the Witch Fairy Dance.
In addition, there were magnificent viewing platforms temporarily erected for the sacrificial ceremony. These platforms happened to be almost connected to the Hall of Transmission, forming a ring that encircled the entire vast area encompassing the east and west banks of the River of Heroes and the Hall of Heroes.
The problematic zither music originated in the main hall of the Transmission Hall.
When Song Chi and his companions arrived, the two musicians were sitting there with worried expressions. When Mo Shubai asked, "Is the pitch accurate?" the two men shook their heads regretfully.
"The middle section still cannot achieve a unified sound."
Mo Shubai then said, "You two have worked hard, why don't you go and rest first? I'll think about it some more."
The two immediately responded gratefully and left the hall.
It's quite a coincidence that the main hall has two zither tables with two musical instruments on them: the guqin and the pipa.
When Song Chi sat down at the zither table, Mo Shubai had someone play the Witch Fairy Melody again, and then he sat down at the zither table next to her.
They even kindly gave Song Chi a musical score. The earlier melodies were primarily powerful and desolate drumbeats, with turbulent, undercurrent-like zither notes echoing in the background, expressing a sorrowful tone of impending evil spirits and impending disaster. The zithers in the main hall weren't needed here.
Therefore, Song Chi carefully examined the sheet music. To be honest, it wasn't difficult at all. He couldn't understand why those two Nascent Soul cultivators looked so exhausted and suffering from the ordeal!
Then, when the distant horn sounded and the suona horn soared into the sky, it should be the time when the Immortal Lord Qiongyu appeared out of nowhere, leading everyone to slay the evil spirits.
Here, the music from the main hall came in handy. As soon as Song Chi heard the melody, he immediately understood why the two musicians had been so miserable.
At this moment, the seventy or eighty zithers rushing from the side hall were playing with chaotic spiritual energy, and she not only had to even out this spiritual energy, but also play the correct melodies.
Honestly, only a music cultivator with maxed-out metal, water, and wood spiritual roots and top-notch zither skills could achieve this.
Mo Shubai explained that the spiritual energy was not so chaotic before. It was the spiritual energy of the Hall of Heroes that disrupted the formation. After the formation was re-established, this chaotic situation began to appear in the music.
The book doesn't mention this part at all, but it does say that the music in the main hall was ultimately completed by Cui Xue Ruo and Ye Qing Yu.
Song Chi originally thought these two were special guests, or that they were tasked with completing a mission by a chosen one and a protector.
As a result, the only possible outcome is that only these two people can calm the chaotic spiritual energy and play the zither again.
Of course, Mo Shubai could do it too, and Jiang Linyue and Su Qiwu should be able to as well. However, Cui Xueruo and Ye Qingyu were paired up by Immortal Lord Qiongyu, so their duet would be even better.
At this moment, she and Mo Shubai... naturally, they could also accomplish it.
In order to successfully seize the position of musician, Song Chi had to be fully focused. Of course, after she had become quite proficient in manipulating the turbulent spiritual energy in the middle, she also secretly sent a few turbulent spiritual energy flows of her own design to Mo Shubai as a small act of revenge.
He simply smiled faintly, effortlessly suppressing the spiritual energy she sent, and then played a beautiful melody on his zither.
What's the difference between this and punching cotton?
As a result, she stopped, and the next round of musical notes came from left to right. This time, Mo Shubai actually threw a few streams of spiritual energy at her as well.
And he secretly added a barely perceptible water elemental root.
If it were before, she probably would have lost her grip on this water elemental root. But ever since she was attacked by his venomous, deep eyes, she has grasped a bit of the rhythm of the water elemental root, and thus easily caught it.
As the next wave of music swept across from right to left, Song Chi secretly threw several water-elemental root spiritual energy vortexes over. An eye for an eye!
The music was the same cold, icy tone, and according to their master, they were both heartless. She wanted to see how Mo Shubai would respond.
He merely smiled faintly at this, then skillfully defused the turbulence with a series of plucked fingers. The music he played, despite its extremely strong aura of killing intent associated with the metal elemental root (after all, this melody was meant to create a tense atmosphere for Immortal Lord Qiongyu to kill the Evil King, hence the intense undercurrent of the metal elemental root music), somehow managed to play a melody with the chivalrous and tender qualities of the water elemental root.
That wasn't all; he even glanced over briefly, then smiled faintly and looked away.
He clearly meant what he was looking at, and dealing with the water elemental root wasn't difficult.
Song Chi felt a lump in her throat and subtly shifted her gaze to avoid his eyes. Did he think he was the only one with a heart? She'd recently developed a tiny bit of one herself. But honestly, it didn't really matter if she didn't have one; it was just making her feel a little unhappy lately.
Then, after that section of music stopped, what remained was the grand and magnificent music from the side hall, which was now praising the peace and tranquility after the evil spirits were conquered and paying tribute to the heroes of the past.
There was no need for her to participate in the main hall's affairs. Only then did Song Chi suddenly remember that her main purpose was to compose or select a new gold-elemental piece from the small music library for exorcism. However, she had just been preoccupied with fighting Mo Shubai with her spiritual energy.
Song Chi suddenly felt an urge to bury her face in her hands and squat down. Did she belong to the type who let a tiny bit of romantic infatuation interfere with her work...?
But Song Chi was unwilling to admit such things; at most, she would admit that she had some lustful thoughts.
So she restored her slightly chapped face and then looked at the musical score amidst the chaotic music in the side hall.
The music from the side hall soon erupted into sharp, piercing notes, and many strings snapped and broke. The formation over there was still malfunctioning, so Mo Shubai and the other two went to adjust it in different locations.
Since Song Chi couldn't get involved in this matter, she didn't concern herself with it. Now, she cleared her head and focused on her business, determined to do her job well. She tried to decipher the score, then realized with a start that she couldn't find a more suitable one. She was speechless. Did those ascended beings really think she was a master who could compose music on the spot? That was far too much of an overestimation.
She frantically searched her memory, then waited for Mo Shubai and the others to finish repairing the formation. The second round of the Witch's Song began, and as the drums and cymbals sang in the middle, Song Chi seemed lost in thought. Then, the actor playing the Evil King, wearing a ferocious mask, appeared and danced by the river, emitting a truly chilling howl in a theatrical voice. This person hadn't appeared in the previous song.
At this moment, Song Chi suddenly understood. This was the background music from a game she used to play; the melody during the fight against the Qin Demon was indeed very powerful. Reminded of this, she breathed a sigh of relief. Next, she needed to see how the spiritual energy merged.
Mo Shubai and the others had just finished adjusting the formation and were adjusting their spiritual energy according to the corrected formation. Therefore, he came to the main hall and used a finger to play the zither to transmit the melody and spiritual energy.
He probably just casually played a few notes on her instrument.
It was a very simple movement, but those fingers, with their jade-like joints, made her wonder. For some reason, she had known before that Mo Shubai was very handsome, so handsome that he was perfect from head to toe. But it was always just admiration, unlike now, when those fingers were playing that simple movement.
Even after he left, it seemed to still resonate in her heart. A strange warmth swept over her.
Song Chi's cheeks immediately started to chapp again. This lust is going too far! His eyes hadn't even left the area before his hands were already dazzled.
Therefore, when Mo Shubai calibrated the zither for the second time and played the instrument in front of her eyes, she silently lowered her eyes and gave that hand a sidelong glance. Don't try to seduce me!
It's unclear whether Mo Shubai noticed or not, but the third time, he went to another zither to calibrate the sound.
This time, Song Chi couldn't help but glance at him silently again, and suddenly felt a little annoyed.
On the fourth time, Mo Shubai stopped in front of her zither to tune the music, which made her feel a little better.
By this time, the array and musical scales of the side hall had been calibrated.
Next, Song Chi and Mo Shubai, together, played the zither again with all the musicians. This time, they passed on the first try. But that was because she and Mo Shubai had perfectly handled the disordered musical notes in the main hall. Song Chi felt that the two musicians from the Immortal Alliance would not have been able to complete it.
Now it's all about how to speak and become a musician.
Before Song Chi could even think of a good way to phrase her question, Mo Shubai asked her if she would be willing to become the main hall's musician.
"Well, this is exactly what I wanted," Song Chi naturally nodded and said, "No problem."
However, Mo Shubai added, "Starting tomorrow, you will need to practice the music for one or two hours every day. I'm afraid it will be hard on you, Third Junior Sister."
Song Chi felt like he was about to choke on a mouthful of blood. This meant he'd have to see him every single day!
But thinking about it, it was really just lust. She refused to believe she couldn't overcome it. So she did it!
Song Chi immediately nodded in agreement.
