Chapter 52 052 Immortal Alliance Grand Competition 3
"—Ye Qingyu!"
Holy crap! What incredible luck!
"Hmph!" Ye Qingyu's unique, cold, and wolf-like snort had already appeared.
Song Chi raised her face, her eyes beaming with joy. Thankfully, fate hadn't played a joke on her; it really had gathered four handsome men.
"What are you laughing at? Humph! Weren't you having a lot of fun just now?"
"The second of the four most handsome men, you're really lucky. You're either touching someone else's flute or holding someone else's hand. You seem quite pleased!"
Ye Qingyu said these words through gritted teeth, her face contorted, the veins on the back of her hand throbbing.
That damned possessiveness still made Song Chi slightly annoyed.
"That's to pass the test and complete the mission, don't overthink it," Song Chi clarified.
Ye Qingyu didn't believe it at all, and gave a cold laugh. "I don't think so."
Song Chi didn't bother arguing with him. Just then, the golden characters on the screen wall appeared, and she looked over.
"Play this passionate melody, and those whose hearts are in tune will pass the test."
This time, they even provided sheet music, instructing her to play it. But the piece didn't seem quite proper. The pieces she had studied over the years were all of this kind—not-so-proper wood-elemental immortal techniques.
When this piece is played, its effects are comparable to those of the unorthodox elixir of love.
Song Chi really wanted to ask if they could stop going so far. She herself didn't feel anything special, but it was hard to say about the other disciples; a kiss on the spot was definitely going to happen.
Not only did she think so, but anyone on the observation platform who had some understanding of the Wood Spirit Root Sound Cultivation Method was buzzing with excitement.
The faces of all the big shots twitched. Why did Immortal Lord Liuyue set such a question this time? If some of them couldn't control themselves, it might just turn into a live sex show.
This is a bit too improper.
However, when they saw that the destined woman from the Cui family was with Mo Shubai, one of her protectors, many of the big shots immediately understood. Then they all exchanged smiles.
To be honest, they hadn't really noticed Cui Xue Ruo's romantic relationships.
Those who were originally sent to protect her, such as Ye Qingyu and a few others, seem to have fallen for Song Chi, the great musician, according to rumors. They are all music cultivators, so frankly, their admiration for Song Chi is… somewhat understandable. Therefore, the powerful figures are worried, since this destined person's fate is undoubtedly one of Ye Qingyu, Mo Shubai, or Jiang Linyue and Su Qiwu, whose spiritual roots, after being cleansed, also reached the metal, water, wood, and heavenly levels. In fact, even those with cleansed spiritual roots probably don't count.
Cui Xue Ruo's romantic relationship can only be with either Ye Qing Yu or Mo Shu Bai.
The Ye family members had been consumed by jealousy the whole time, their minds completely preoccupied with Song Chi. They weren't blind; how could they not see that this kid's heart was probably entirely with Song Chi?
That leaves only Mo Shubai. Mo Shubai is famous not only for his looks and talent, but also for his perpetually unmoved music and emotions.
This is someone who rejected the affections of Fairy Yilan from the most beautiful place in the cultivation world, Yunji Holy Land; how heartless she must be.
The immortal lord, realizing there was no other way, could only use this wood spirit root zither music to arouse their passion and allow their hearts to connect.
Venerable Tonghua was filled with emotion at this moment, and then, while whispering to each other, he also pulled Venerable Yuheng along.
"Senior brother, I feel that the Immortal Lord's move was truly flawless. I think that Shu Bai is the kind of person who will fall for the other person due to the stirrings of passion."
She asked Venerable Xueqiao.
Venerable Xueqiao didn't want to answer such a question. But to be honest, he was a little unsure. After all, there had been some cultivators like Shu Bai in the cultivation world before, and there had indeed been cases of love arising from lust.
Shu Bai…could it be the same? But then again, he didn't think it was that bad!
Seeing that he remained silent, Venerable Tonghua asked Venerable Yuheng.
Venerable Yuheng said with a playful tone, "I think that Shubai is probably really that kind of person."
Immediately, Venerable Tonghua and Venerable Yuheng couldn't help but chuckle in their divine senses. Venerable Xueqiao, realizing the danger, severed their divine senses.
He still didn't think it was that bad. But thinking about the sealing of the Flying Immortal Platform, he thought, "Oh well, I'm afraid Shu Bai will really be betrothed by the Immortal Lord this time."
This time, Song Chi saw that as soon as the test questions were presented, the disciples who were watching the excitement pointed to her first, and then they all let out a knowing "oh" and quickly pointed to Cui Xue Ruo.
They probably felt there was nothing new or interesting about her.
Meanwhile, Cui Xue Ruo's story unfolds similarly, with her encountering Mo Shu Bai.
Song Chi chuckled inwardly; the plot of the book had indeed unfolded as described. However, in the book, it was merely a melody of mutual understanding, accompanied by the activation of various dangerous mechanisms. In the end, when Mo Shubai rescued Cui Xue Ruo, he accidentally took her hand. That one touch of hand ignited Cui Xue Ruo's heart, and the music instantly soared to its most passionate height, leading to the game's completion.
This time, however, they used an enhanced version of the Wood Spirit Root Immortal Technique. Not to mention the other disciples who wanted to watch the show, Song Chi also wanted to join in.
However, Ye Qingyu seemed completely uninterested in that area, his eyes fixed intently on the fading golden exam questions.
His dark eyes suddenly twitched slightly. Although he didn't even look at him with a straight face, Song Chi still sensed his ulterior motives.
"Ye Qingyu, don't even think about it. I'm not the kind of person who can be seduced!"
The phrase "sleeping with" was immediately understood by everyone at Guanshangtai, who were all greatly impressed. They felt it was incredibly apt.
Venerable Tonghua immediately smiled and whispered, "Senior brother, it seems Shu Bai is indeed easily seduce!"
The Sled Venerable ruthlessly extinguished the divine sense she was transmitting. What utter nonsense! What kind of sleeping clothes are these? So unrefined. That brat, she'll get a good beating after the competition.
Upon hearing Song Chi's words, Ye Qingyu merely let out a soft laugh.
He glanced at him sideways, then picked up his zither and began to play the captivating wood spirit root zither music.
Song Chi immediately forced a smile, even though he had a grimaced expression. "Who's ever been afraid of who!"
She possesses incredibly proficient wood-elemental immortal techniques; it's hard to say who will be overcome with emotion first.
But I didn't expect Ye Qingyu to wield the Wood Spirit Root Immortal Technique so skillfully, without any hesitation. This kid must have studied it quite a bit in secret. Tsk!
Then, the two sides' music rushed towards each other relentlessly, and as Song Chi played, he suddenly discovered a fatal problem.
Isn't this just handing Ye Qingyu a knife? She's rarely emotional anyway, so it's hard for her to be truly moved. But Ye Qingyu is a stubborn and madman to begin with. Stimulated by the two wood-elemental immortal techniques, his eyes are now deep and dark, filled with a strange and dangerous light.
Seeing that she had realized what was happening, he paused in his music. A low, uncontrollable chuckle escaped his throat.
"Did you notice? Too late."
Immortal Lord Liuyue did not keep his word. At this moment, the plants and trees in the entire garden grew wildly, twisting and turning wildly like vines.
They then attacked the two men.
As the two women, clutching their zithers, constantly dodged the vines, Ye Qingyu, like an enraged wild beast, relentlessly pursued them wherever they went.
And he denounced her in a sinister and fierce tone.
"I've said it before, from the first moment I saw you on the wall of your house when I was thirteen, I knew you were the one!"
"And what have you done?!"
"Song Chi, you bastard woman, you're flirting with everyone, one minute it's Mo Feiyun, the next it's your senior brother Mo Shubai. On the day you became an apprentice at the Respect for Teachers Hall, why were you blushing when you accepted his fan? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
“You even went and played the flute that Xue Rongzhan had touched, and you even took the opportunity to touch Cui Luoying’s hand.”
"Do you know that I can't tolerate any of this? Do you even have a heart? Do you know how much it hurts me to see you like this?"
These angry rebukes were almost hysterical, uttered through gritted teeth.
Many disciples heard the commotion and quickly switched their attention to Song Chi and his group.
Even the people on the viewing platform turned to look. Mainly because there was nothing interesting to see with Cui Xueruo and Mo Shubai; they were still discussing such a simple matter as how to allocate spiritual roots to this piece, their reserved and shy demeanor making it rather uninspiring.
On the other hand, this side started with... such a grand spectacle.
Seeing that he had once again become the center of attention among the disciples, Song Chi was furious.
"Ye Qingyu, shut up." Can't we talk about this later?
"I'll shut up, and you still have the nerve to tell me to shut up."
"Do you know that I've been crazy about you ever since I first saw you? You said you were going to the Changyun Sect, and I even made arrangements for you. As long as you went, you were guaranteed to enter the inner sect."
On the viewing platform, everyone couldn't help but look at the Changyun Sect. The Second Elder even nodded in agreement, indicating that such a thing had happened.
"But what did you do? You came to the Azure Sword Sect. I wanted to forget you, do you even know that?!"
Ye Qingyu roared as he questioned her.
"When you appear before me again, do you understand how angry I was back then!"
Song Chi: "..." She remembered that she did see Ye Qingyu on the day she entered the sect. His "Song Chi" was almost spat out from between his teeth, cold and angry.
"Now that you've come to the Azure Sword Sect with me, how can I possibly forget you!"
"Song Chi, what did you do while I was so crazy about you?"
"Who did you make a date with on the Lantern Festival during your first year in the sect?"
"Mo Feiyun—you actually made an appointment with him, just because he accompanied you all the way to the mountain gate when you entered the sect, and you gave him your heart so easily?"
"Then what about my feelings for you? Tell me!"
I haven't given my heart to anyone. What are you talking about?!
Song Chi was furious. "Shut up! If you have something to say, we can talk about it when we get back."
Ye Qingyu grinned maliciously. "What the hell do I need to say when I go back!"
"Song Chi, I'm making this clear today. I will marry no one but you in this life. Anyone who dares to lay a finger on you, I will kill them all, without sparing a single one."
Upon hearing these arrogant words, everyone couldn't help but look at Ye Hongjia, the head of the Ye family, and wonder if this kid was even speaking human language.
Among them, Venerable Xueqiao's angry glare made Ye Hongjia feel most ashamed. But he knew his son's temperament well. Once he made up his mind, not even nine oxen could pull him back. Qingyu had already spoken to him about this marriage. He promised to protect Cui Xueruo from the moment she broke the seal on the Flying Immortal Platform, but on the condition that he must marry Song Chi.
The elders in the family scolded the boy severely for this, but to no avail. If they didn't agree, he was prepared to give up his role as a protector and quit.
Unsealing the Flying Immortal Platform was a matter of utmost importance that could not be delayed. The elders' reprimands were ineffective, so they had no choice but to reluctantly agree to the marriage.
In reality, they were still just trying to appease the boy. For the sake of having one more spot to ascend to immortality, the elders were still hoping Qingyu would become the destined one's soulmate.
But now, even the Immortal Lord has paired Mo Shubai and Cui Xueruo together.
Then Qingyu can only be the protector. The elders should agree to this marriage now. Ye Hongjia isn't a devil; he wouldn't refuse even his son's only request in his life.
Therefore, he currently felt this marriage was quite good. Song Chi, a master of music, was destined for a bright future in the path of musical cultivation. Furthermore, his spiritual root had been purified to reveal his genius potential, making his future limitless. He and Qing Yu were indeed a suitable match!
Ye Hongjia then looked at Venerable Xueqiao with a sincere smile, meaning that his feelings as a father were the same as his son's, and that he had also taken a liking to the disciple.
Venerable Xueqiao was only slightly taken aback before turning his gaze away with annoyance. Given his free-spirited and unconventional nature, Venerable Xueqiao naturally wouldn't want his disciple to marry into a family with such strict rules and regulations. This was understandable, and Ye Hongjia didn't find it strange.
But even if he agrees to the marriage, Qingyu's journey to win his wife's heart is still quite long.
"Ye Qingyu, shut the hell up!"
"Who told you to insist on marrying no one but me? Get lost!"
In the garden where countless vines flew and entwined, Song Chi's pipa music changed, and the metal and wood spiritual roots clashed like turbid water, violently rushing towards Ye Qingyu.
Such chaotic music originally deviated from the original intention of the Wood Spirit Root Sound Cultivation Method, but the disturbing power of the music was amplified by the disordered music.
Not to mention the Golden Core disciples who couldn't help but take a deep breath immediately, even the Venerables present were slightly annoyed.
"Oh no!" Venerable Xueqiao thought to himself.
As expected, Ye Qingyu's face flushed immediately upon being struck by the music, his eyes becoming chaotic and wild. This was the expression of someone completely moved by the music of the Wood Spirit Root.
Immediately, all the Venerable Ones were surprised and looked at Ye Hongjia.
Suddenly, in the garden, a scroll unfurled behind Ye Qingyu, revealing a bright moon hanging high, a gently flowing spring, and a ten-mile plum grove shrouded in mist, its reflection shimmering in the water.
That was no longer just an image from a celestial painting, but a real celestial scroll surging with celestial light. This was the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, a technique lost by the Ye family for nearly 50,000 years. Even the one from 50,000 years ago was only one step away from reaching the True Immortal Realm, but his body was too weak, and he perished before he could withstand that final sliver of immortality.
The Ye family really kept it a secret! They were all so surprised.
But Ye Hongjia was even more shocked than they were. He jumped to his feet, and several elders of the Ye family stood there in a daze, their hands trembling uncontrollably. Their excitement was genuine.
In other words, it was only at this moment that they realized Ye Qingyu had already opened the Immortal Scroll of Heaven.
This young man, so young yet already possessing such an extraordinary opportunity. And that opportunity unfolded from burning passion! This caused the other major families to fall into deep thought. The reason the eight great families have been able to endure for so long is this Dharma Manifestation opportunity; even absorbing just a trace of immortal power from it is enough to surpass all other cultivators. Moreover, with the Dharma Manifestation Immortal Scroll fully opened, this young man will undoubtedly one of the strongest in the cultivation world in the future.
Of those present, only Venerable Xueqiao was not too shocked; instead, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Song Chi—!"
As soon as Ye Qingyu opened the Immortal Scroll of Dharma Image, he roared angrily. Then, he moved like a butterfly and appeared beside Song Chi in the blink of an eye.
That one did indeed possess some extremely powerful immortal techniques, and a flash of green light appeared. He managed to dodge several times.
"Ye Qingyu, wake up!" It was clear that the girl was also a little scared, and she shouted angrily.
He didn't even dare to play the pipa in his hand, and just ran away.
But after dodging more than ten times, Ye Qingyu finally grabbed her wrist, and she tried to escape again.
He pulled her tightly into his arms.
Bang!
Then he was pushed hard against the wall with vines flying all over the garden, his elbow pressed down hard from the side of his neck to his shoulder, and his other hand braced against Song Chi's side.
At the time, it was just a side profile, but everyone could see the hysterical madness in that kid Ye Qingyu.
"—Qingyu!" You better not really offend that girl. Otherwise, you might be in big trouble.
Venerable Xueqiao's face was practically contorted with rage. Ye Hongjia silently cried out in his heart, trying to calm Qingyu down.
But everyone knows that the two people inside the barrier cannot hear any sounds from the outside world. No matter how loudly they try to suppress their voices, not a single sound can penetrate the barrier.
But Ye Qingyu simply held Song Chi down, his chest heaving, staring intently at him. He did nothing else.
There was a moment of silence.
But in fact, it wasn't just Ye Qingyu whose chest was heaving; Song Chi's breathing was also much more excited than his usual calm demeanor.
For a long time… in reality, it was just that silence that captivated people’s hearts; not much time had actually passed.
Ye Qingyu's voice suddenly became emotional. "Song Chi, I truly love you." There was even a hint of sorrow in her voice.
The bittersweet plea moved many of the young disciples present. Who hasn't felt the heartache of deeply liking someone but not being reciprocated?
Even the most hard-hearted person would find it hard not to be moved for a moment.
Song Chi indeed showed a slight look of surprise, perhaps because she had softened her heart. Her nostrils twitched slightly, and her chest heaved. She even seemed to lick her lips anxiously.
This is undoubtedly fatal.
Many disciples on the spot disregarded everything and quickly turned and flew to the best vantage point, peeking like swimming fish.
Ye Qingyu lived up to expectations, and he was overjoyed at the moment when Song Chi was moved.
"Chi'er!" A soft, tender call escaped from the bottom of her throat.
He pressed his forehead against Song Chi's forehead, then slowly turned away.
Just as they were about to kiss, a burst of ethereal energy suddenly rushed over, and the back gate of the garden opened.
As if startled, Song Chi suddenly kicked Ye Qingyu and flew straight through the door.
Immortal Lord, why are you causing trouble now?!
The disciples all looked resentfully towards the main hall. What was wrong with letting them peek at a kiss? Ugh! They've come this far, and now they get this done.
All the disciples were truly depressed.
Only Venerable Xueqiao breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the Immortal Lord was a decent person after all. And that brat—how could she be defeated by mere sentimentality? She still needed to be taught a lesson when they got back. Was she someone to marry into the Ye family? Cultivators in the cultivation world roam freely, each with their own free spirit. These cultivation families, on the other hand, had all this talk of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues—it was truly a joke. Moreover, these cultivation families also had the depraved practice of taking concubines.
He didn't want Song Chi to be disgusted by this bad habit in the future.
I absolutely cannot marry into the Ye family.
Unlike the disappointment of the others, Ye Qingyu smiled gently with his back to them. He had originally thought that Song Chi's heart was as emotionless as her zither, but no matter what, he had seen that for a moment just now, she must have been captivated by him.
That's good, even though he knows deep down that he was being misled by desire. But it doesn't matter what methods he uses; he wants to keep her by his side no matter what.
Song Chi fled the small garden amidst the uncontrollable laughter of Immortal Lord Liuyue.
"We can't do as you wish and let this kid eat you up just yet!"
Thank you so much for your help. She had been completely bewildered just now, but now she understood why those novels that criticized male protagonists were so popular back then.
Ye Qingyu's madness just now, the ruthless desire to possess and destroy in his eyes, made her instinctively terrified, yet she couldn't help but be attracted by his endless fervor.
In that instant, she also felt a surge of overwhelming urge to forcefully pull this boy down with her to be consumed by hell.
Fortunately, the icy spiritual energy saved her mind and allowed her to stop the damage in time.
Please, give her a normal one for the next round, nothing so crazy. I'm exhausted and fed up.
"I think this kid is quite good, a good choice for a husband."
Liu Yue Xianjun's rather shameless words were dismissed by Song Chi with a wave of her sleeve; she didn't intend to listen to a word. Thank you, she had no such inclination.
After calming himself down, Song Chi went to observe the other disciples' assessments. But wow, they all sang easily, then paired up, blushing, and moved on to the next stage.
Including Cui Xueruo, whose face was flushed with rosy cheeks, she was truly as beautiful as a peach blossom, breathtakingly so. After finishing her piece, she didn't dare look at Mo Shubai once, and left through the opened immortal gate first. Mo Shubai's music wasn't finished yet.
Why is it so easy for her? In the end, they're all supposed to be destined for each other. This is far too biased.
Song Chi expressed his sincere condolences. Liu Yue Xianjun, however, smiled.
"What do you know? She'll be openly confronting the evil spirits, so naturally, these challenges will be easier for her. But her tribulations will be ten or a hundred times greater than yours, and the dangers she faces in the secret realm will also be ten or a hundred times greater. She'll practically be a sitting duck for the evil spirits. How about you two switch places?"
Song Chi immediately shook her head. Thinking about Cui Xue Ruo's tribulation lightning, she was instantly terrified. She was most afraid of pain, so she decided against it.
"Furthermore, your piece just now was too distracting. They were captivated by your music, as well as by that boy's fiery and passionate words and that ardent kiss. Their hearts were already swayed, so the piece was over in no time."
Song Chi: "..." What passionate kiss? There was no kiss at all. It doesn't count.
Song Chi waved her hand, she didn't care about that anymore.
In short, only this final stage remains in the competition. May the Three Pure Ones bless her and send her an easy opponent.
She immediately muttered to herself.
Then the barrier trembled slightly, and a man in flowing blue robes stepped in.
Song Chi was completely stunned. "Is this for real?" she couldn't help but ask deeply.
Liuyue Immortal Lord was still laughing there. Did she know that Mo Shubai was just as heartless as she was?
This kind of sound cultivation trial, which is based on emotions and desires, is something that the two of them absolutely cannot complete together.
Mo Shubai was also slightly taken aback, and then the two looked at each other in silence.
Venerable Xueqiao was speechless for a moment while observing the immortals. When Shu Bai entered Song Chi's small barrier, he knew it was all over.
He knew exactly what kind of people those two were; they were two truly heartless little bastards.
Even Venerable Tonghua couldn't help but sigh. "It seems these two will have to stop here, unless this time the test only tests musical scales and not the mystical spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
Venerable Xueqiao thought to himself, "That's absolutely impossible. The true key to sound cultivation lies in the power that can manipulate the mysteries of heaven and earth."
Immortal Lord Liuyue was also an outstanding sound and sword cultivator; how could he not know the truth?
Sure enough, the golden characters on the screen wall slowly appeared: "Time flies like a song, and life flows like water. I offer this song to the beauty beside me. Those who are of one mind and understand each other's feelings can pass this test."
This time, sheet music was also included. It was a sheet music for water-elemental music, requiring extremely delicate and tender emotions to make the music resonate.
Venerable Xueqiao knew that Shubai and Songchi were actually least skilled at playing water-elemental music, as it was utterly devoid of any emotional fluctuation. Even if they tried to conceal it with technique, it would be useless, as the amount of spiritual energy they stirred up was truly negligible.
Not to mention trying to move people with this song. And how could it possibly move two people who are both hard-hearted?
Even You Qin couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead. "Master, this time it's really difficult."
"How could it not be difficult? It's simply impossible to pass. It's a pity that they've reached the final hurdle, the chance to visit that immortal palace. Perhaps some immortal technique could guide them on a bright and smooth path to the Nascent Soul stage." Venerable Xueqiao immediately showed a look of great regret.
Song Chi was in the garden, desperately trying to salvage the situation. Could she possibly lose? She couldn't!
So she gave Mo Shubai a deep look, wishing she were possessed by Dai Jia or Cheng Yao. Those two infatuated girls, they loved any handsome man. And their love was so genuine!
"Senior Brother, let's give it a try first."
Maybe they'll instantly understand each other. See, understanding each other can also be a pure, innocent bond between senior and junior brothers and sisters!
"That's impossible. It's naturally affection between a man and a woman. Don't even think about it."
Immortal Lord Liuyue decisively shattered her illusions.
Song Chi sniffed; she still didn't believe it. She'd come this far on a long march—did she know how difficult it had been? She had to keep going.
Both of them played that piece, putting all their strength into it and expressing their emotions through skill.
To be honest, the disciples of Guanshentai are not very good at music, and they even think that the two of them played the best and most moving pieces.
The only two people present who could rival them were Cui Xue Ruo and Ye Qing Yu. Both of them also possessed exceptionally beautiful voices and conveyed genuine emotion.
However, Ye Qingyu stopped playing halfway through. Coincidentally, the barrier next to his and Cui Xue Ruo's was occupied by Song Chi and Mo Shu Bai.
The two barriers were now connected, and the two sides could see each other.
This was probably the work of the Immortal Lord. But it certainly created a dramatic effect, and many disciples couldn't help but chuckle to themselves. Those who weren't really focused on their competition in the arena all rushed over to watch, while those outside couldn't stop laughing.
What a spectacular show! Never before has the Immortal Alliance Competition been as enjoyable as this one.
Then, the Immortal Lord probably felt that Ye Qingyu's side wasn't exciting enough. After all, Ye Qingyu and Cui Xue Ruo were standing far apart, as if they were afraid of being misunderstood. They were both very careful about their reputations, so there was really nothing exciting about it.
However, the barrier on the right side of Songchi was now connected to the screen wall.
Over there were a pair of senior and junior disciples from the Purple Evolution Divine Palace, both of whom were also genius disciples. Coincidentally, they were both disciples of Venerable Haojun, the eldest senior brother and the youngest junior sister, respectively.
It's just that the two of them must have had feelings for each other before, but they didn't express them to each other.
Being assigned to the same place, they were both slightly surprised. Yu Liufeng had a very aloof appearance, his whole body as clean as snow, like a bright crescent moon in the deep night sky. Ye Xueyan, on the other hand, had a slender waist, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and was a shy beauty with delicate wrists.
The two first played the tune set up by the immortal lord, secretly concealing their feelings for each other, so the immortal gate did not open.
Then the screen wall appeared. The two glanced at the wall next door, and Yu Liufeng couldn't help but raise his eyes and smile slightly, while Ye Xueyan also turned her head with a wry smile.
After all, they had witnessed every bit of the excitement that Song Chi had just caused.
Perhaps it was Ye Qingyu's passionate confession that unlocked Yu Liufeng's inner knot, making him much bolder.
"Third Junior Sister, do you still remember that song you sang by the Bright Moon Snow Blossom Lake when you first entered the sect? The night was like a dream, and the evening breeze was gentle. Thinking about it now, it was quite beautiful."
Yu Liufeng uttered these words softly, glancing over with tender and affectionate eyes.
Ye Xueyan immediately lowered her head, her neck already completely pink. "Senior Brother is the one who played the flute that night."
"Um."
Although Yu Liufeng only uttered a soft "hmm," it was so full of emotion that Ye Xueyan's cheeks flushed even more.
"Senior Brother, do you still remember why I kept making mistakes in your class when you were still a celestial master of the academy?"
"I... know a little, but I can't believe it."
Ye Xueyan, as expected of a sword cultivator, though appearing so delicate, now raised her head, her face flushed, yet possessed an inexplicable courage. She smiled shyly and said, "I only resorted to this tactic to attract the attention of the immortal master."
The two immediately gazed at each other with a mixture of joy and shyness, then silently lowered their heads and affectionately played the tune "Moon in the Water" together.
When the music reached its emotional peak, Yu Liufeng stopped playing the zither, went to Ye Xueyan's side, and joined her in playing the melody.
This time, the zither was used, hence the ambiguous duet, which was also quite fitting.
Both of them had slightly flushed cheeks, but because of the sweet affection they shared, even knowing that countless disciples were watching, they were reluctant to let it fade at this moment. They only waited for the music to finish, for the immortal gates to open wide, and then the majestic silhouette of the immortal palace would be revealed.
As the two left hand in hand, they glanced slightly to one side, then turned back and smiled warmly. Ye Xueyan leaned weakly against her lover's chest, a faint smile on her face.
Song Chi watched the two figures leave, so full of affection, and was utterly speechless.
She couldn't help but lick her lips and look at Mo Shubai. "Senior Brother, I wonder if it's too late for us to start cultivating our relationship now."
Upon hearing this, Mo Shubai lowered his eyes slightly.
Even Venerable Xueqiao couldn't help but facepalm, while the other onlookers were in stitches, many bursting into laughter. Indeed, any event with Song Chi present was always the funniest.
And now she's trying to cultivate feelings? Speaking of cultivating feelings, didn't Fairy Yilan, who traveled the continent with Mo Shubai for two or three years under the guise of friendship, ever have this intention? But did she succeed? No.
This time, Fairy Yilan really did come to the Viewing Platform to attend the ceremony, and everyone secretly looked over. She remained calm and gentle, her delicate beauty like a pure and beautiful deep blue flower reflected in water, standing gracefully among the crowd. Anyone who glanced at her would be instantly struck by her stunning beauty.
She truly deserves the title of the most beautiful woman in the cultivation world, living up to her reputation.
"Senior Brother!" Song Chi had decided to cultivate their relationship, so he took a few steps over and sat down next to Mo Shubai. The two were still a few steps apart.
Song Chi thought about the couple he had just met; they had also transitioned from disciples of a celestial master in the academy to fellow disciples. Once they reminisced about their past hardships, they immediately understood each other's feelings and began to express their affection.
She could probably copy an answer by reminiscing about past hardships, but after thinking for a long time, she realized that the idea of a harmonious zither melody under the moonlight was completely fabricated.
"The figure of the eldest brother in blue standing outside the Guihai class was truly beautiful." Song Chi smacked his lips and finally spoke the truth.
When the others saw her think for a long time and finally say this dryly, many people almost burst out laughing.
You're really something! You think you can win someone's heart with that? Dream on.
"What's your impression of me, Senior Brother?" Despite this, Song Chi's fighting spirit in order to pass the test was commendable. She continued shamelessly to ask.
Mo Shubai immediately lied. "Third Junior Sister is very well-behaved and polite."
Song Chi was just pretending to be well-behaved; everyone present could see through it. Mo Shubai probably didn't have much to praise either. Clearly, as fellow disciples, the two didn't interact much, as they seemed far too distant.
"Sigh, never mind, senior brother, let's play that piece again."
Song Chi seemed to give up and began to play his zither. Mo Shubai, however, cooperated fully, his own zither music flowing like water as he played slowly.
But who would have thought that in the latter half, Song Chi would actually follow Yu Liufeng's example and walk to Mo Shubai's side with his hands in his sleeves.
She pushed his left hand away from the strings with her fingers and helped him press the strings to play together.
She not only pressed the strings, but also mimicked Yu Liufeng by glancing sideways at him. She looked as if she were admiring a beautiful woman's gentle charm!
Help! Many disciples burst out laughing, and some even slid off their seats in exaggerated manner.
Why doesn't she just go to heaven?! Does she really think that playing a duet like this will build a relationship?
