Chapter 57 057 Exchanging tokens of love?
"Favoring him is a load of rubbish." Song Chi could only imagine how incredulous this person must have been upon seeing her post.
I don't know what kind of raging storm ran through his mind at that moment, but he decided to meet her to see what she was up to.
As long as he could get someone to agree to it, that was fine. Song Chi didn't care what he was thinking at that moment.
She now has a completely client-centric mentality—only serving her own needs and goals.
When Xue Rongzhan received Song Chi's invitation at his Liuxia Xiaozhu, he thought he was seeing things. After taking a closer look, he even choked on his tea.
My junior fellow apprentice, Xie Lanqing, was also present at the time.
After seeing the invitation, he exclaimed in surprise, "It's unbelievable that she chose you, Senior Brother, from among so many lovers."
Xue Rongzhan: "..." Numerous lovers...
Although my junior brother's words were somewhat presumptuous, it is true that the rumors surrounding Song Chi are currently being talked about in Changge City and even the cultivation world. He is one of the people involved in these rumors.
But everyone believed that if Song Chi were to fall for someone, she would definitely choose between her senior brother Mo Shubai and her childhood sweetheart Ye Qingyu. Even Mo Feiyun, the lover she had arranged to go to the lantern festival with when she first entered the sect, was considered a good match by many.
He, who had almost no interaction with Song Chi, naturally had to retreat a step.
In fact, he thought so too. He even knew that Song Chi harbored deep resentment towards him because he had ruined her important cultivation plans. She had refused to accept his gifts as an apology, showing she was still quite resentful.
On the day of the Immortal Alliance competition, Song Chi was probably driven by competitive spirit, which is why she played a duet with him so seamlessly. There was absolutely no romantic feeling she had for him.
And it's likely that there was no affection whatsoever, not even liking. After all, when she handed him the flute, her disdain was practically written all over her face.
Although he was unaware of the reasons behind Song Chi's invitation, he readily agreed and was genuinely pleased.
He had long admired Song Chi's zither music. Today, he was likely to hear new pieces.
However, the Music Pavilion in Jade Dew Garden is Fairy Butterfly's celestial abode. A mere meeting with her would cost 10,000 high-grade spirit stones. If one were to accompany her on a full-fledged meeting, it would require a minimum of 50,000 high-grade spirit stones, plus an additional 50,000 high-grade spirit stones as a tea and refreshment fee.
Xue Rongzhan was worried that Song Chi didn't have the financial means, so he wanted to pay for the spirit stones first.
Little did anyone know that Song Chi had already sent someone to settle accounts and had generously spent 100,000 high-grade spirit stones to arrange a banquet.
Then Xue Rongzhan heard his junior brother Xie Lanqing laugh after hearing the reply.
"Senior brother, don't you remember how much Purple Spirit Myriad Grass she picked in the secret realm last time? She's a real tycoon now!"
Indeed, the various sects exchanged top-grade spirit crystals and immortal treasures for the Purple Spirit Myriad-Flower Grass from Venerable Xueqiao.
Venerable Xueqiao, with his lofty and unyielding spirit, would naturally not embezzle his disciples' money. Song Chi is probably quite wealthy now.
In this way, he could take advantage of the situation and go see what Song Chi was up to today.
Furthermore, she took out the Purple Evolution Divine Palace Young Master's token that he had kept hidden for many years and carried it with him. In the invitation, Song Chi repeatedly emphasized that she had invited him to the banquet only to witness the divine power of the token of the Young Master of the world's number one immortal sect, and that he must wear it. If she did not see the token, she would not see him.
Poor thing. To see him, she came up with such a terrible idea.
The most outstanding disciple of each generation in the Purple Evolution Divine Palace is given a token of the Young Palace Master, which allows him to command the other disciples. It is similar to the sect leaders or chief disciples of the other three major immortal sects, only with a different title.
This kind of token for the young palace master is indeed rare. But Song Chi shouldn't be so curious about a token that he would insist on taking it to see it.
But Xue Rongzhan, of course, wouldn't be so oblivious as to expose him. Not only would he wear the Young Palace Master's token, but when they arrived at Qule Pavilion, he would also tell Song Chi in detail about the interesting historical anecdotes surrounding the token.
Let's assume that the two of them met for the sole purpose of this matter.
He was always a sensible and considerate person. The only time he failed to be so, and Song Chi happened to be there for him. It was truly his great misfortune.
After receiving Xue Rongzhan's reply, Song Chi immediately sent someone to Yulu Garden to inform Fairy Dieyi, and then spent 100,000 high-grade spirit stones to obtain a flower invitation from Qule Pavilion.
Then she summoned a skillful boy to dress her up. It was nothing more than styling her hair in double buns, changing her into a pale yellow dress, making her look a little more elegant, and applying a touch of makeup. But the boy insisted that she looked absolutely stunning today.
With her appearance and makeup, she does have a certain charm. But to say she's stunning wouldn't be an exaggeration. She's just so-so.
When Song Chi left, he was actually very low-key, but the entire hall seemed to suddenly come alive, with countless divine senses rushing over recklessly.
Moreover, the figure in the blue robe next door stood by the second-floor window, and Mo Shubai watched her walk past on the front porch. He looked hesitant, but ultimately did not stop her.
As long as her master wasn't around, no one dared to stop her from going out.
Of course, Ye Qingyu might try to cover it up with a dark expression, but that kid probably won't be at the club today.
So Song Chi, feeling relaxed, hailed a luxurious glass palace carriage at the entrance of the guild hall. Amidst the pleasant jingling of the carriage bell, they quickly arrived at the dazzling and enchanting Silk Street.
When the carriage from the Glazed Palace stopped in front of the Jade Dew Garden, flower maids came to greet it with smiles.
Moreover, a large group of more than a dozen people came, with a red carpet laid out. The way they treated her as a client suggested they regarded her as some kind of top VIP.
While Song Chi was still wondering, someone from the brothel next door called out.
"That is Miss Song, the master of music!"
"Oh my god, she really came to Jade Dew Garden!"
"I wonder who she's meeting? Or which young master she wants to see? I've heard she has a past with Young Master Qingluan. But didn't Young Master Qingluan retire from public life?"
"I know that. I just heard that Miss Song has made an appointment with Young Master Rong Zhan!"
"My goodness! It was him? So, Miss Song ultimately fell for Young Master Rong Zhan. I thought it would be Young Master Shu Bai. She is so pure and beautiful, and Young Master Shu Bai is as virtuous as a pine and as graceful as a bamboo. They are truly a match made in heaven!"
Upon seeing this, Song Chi noticed that Mo Shubai, dressed in a blue robe, had also alighted from his carriage in front of the Jade Dew Garden. Hearing this, he glanced briefly at the brothel next door.
There was a lively buzzing sound coming from over there.
"Look, Young Master Shu Bai is here too. Could it be that the two of them have arranged to meet Young Master Rong Zhan together? Young Master Shu Bai and Young Master Rong Zhan are said to be good friends!"
“But look, there are other women around Young Master Shubai.”
You Qin, who had come with Mo Shubai, immediately jumped three or four steps away from him upon hearing this, looking as if she wanted to distance herself from the situation!
Mo Shubai seemed somewhat speechless at the time.
Moreover, You Qin even smiled and looked at Song Chi, her eyes implying that she had been captured by her senior brother without his consent. She and her senior brother have no relationship whatsoever, so don't be jealous!
Anyway, Song Chi could read a lot of stories from her eyes.
She was truly speechless. Even when Youqin was a Celestial Master, she only put on a stern, aloof face. In reality, she loved gossip and watching the drama unfold. Look at what they're thinking!
Mo Shubai was also greeted by someone, and he glanced at Song Chi before entering.
The meaning in his eyes was clear: I'm watching you, you can come and meet people, but don't cause any trouble.
Of course, he would protect her if anything happened.
Song Chi thought to herself, "This person seems pretty nice." But tonight she's only here to obtain a crucial item; why would she cause any trouble? Besides, she wouldn't dare to cause any trouble, for fear that her master would punish her severely.
Just as she was about to follow the flower maid inside, Xue Rongzhan happened to land in his carriage. His deep purple robes still billowed, his eyes gleaming like stars, making him exceptionally handsome. As soon as he got out, he smiled and apologized for being late.
Song Chi naturally said it wasn't late; in fact, both of them had arrived a quarter of an hour early.
So they stepped aside at the door and were eventually welcomed into the house by the flower maid.
Exclamations of surprise echoed from various brothels. "It really was Young Master Rong Zhan he had arranged to meet!"
"I always said that during the Immortal Alliance competition that day, their music was perfectly matched, and they were a perfect match."
"But they probably didn't know each other before, and it just so happened that they bumped into a barrier on the day of the competition."
"You don't understand. Sometimes, the one who arrives first isn't necessarily better than the one who arrives later."
"That's true. But I still think Young Master Shubai and Miss Song are a better match!"
"I think childhood sweethearts are more beautiful. Young Master Ye is young and spirited, and he is the best match for Miss Song."
"..."
Song Chi heard all of these sounds. Xue Rongzhan, whose cultivation was higher than hers, must have heard them clearly as well.
But he smiled and pretended not to hear. He even praised a lotus flower blooming beautifully by the winding corridor.
Song Chi was used to being surrounded by scandals anyway. He was already used to being watched in the sect; now it was just a matter of even more people watching. It was nothing...
Soon, the two arrived at the Music Pavilion. Fairy Butterfly Dress personally came downstairs to greet them.
Qule Pavilion is located beside Bright Moon Lake, the most beautiful spot in Jade Dew Garden. The building is magnificent and luxurious, and the windows are decorated not with gauze, but with whole pieces of spirit crystal. As for the carved beams and painted rafters, that goes without saying. And this pavilion is said to have never changed its name.
Song Chi followed Fairy Butterfly to the third floor. After exchanging pleasantries, they sat down and drank tea.
During the Shen Shi (3-5 PM) period, places like Yu Lu Yuan are naturally not as lively as at night. However, with disciples from various sects participating in the Immortal Alliance Grand Competition, the entire Changge City is bustling with activity. Xiao Cui Street is naturally open all night long, welcoming and seeing off customers day and night. No one dares to miss this wave of lucrative business.
Song Chi saw that there were many guests in each building, and the sounds of zither music and singing could be heard from afar.
Then she opened the window. Good heavens, across the way, in a row, clanging and banging, countless windows of the seven or eight ornately decorated crimson buildings surrounding Bright Moon Lake were opened in an instant.
Moreover, the people standing by the window were all staring at her like fish swimming in their direction.
Mo Shubai and You Qin were in the Mingyue Pavilion directly opposite each other. Mo Shubai was sitting by the window, slowly turning the pages of a book and drinking tea, while You Qin smiled and nodded at him from the opposite side.
Then Song Chi looked left and right, inwardly exclaiming, "Good heavens!" Mo Feiyun and the others were all there, including Su Yu, the serious Crown Prince of the Tai Xuan Immortal Dynasty, who was born solely to unseal the Flying Immortal Platform. However, he was still doing his business; sitting opposite him was Cui Xue Ruo.
Since the time she witnessed Cui Xueruo's forceful kiss of Mo Shubai, only ten days had passed, and she had already lost weight. Yet, she looked even more beautiful. She lowered her eyes and didn't look over, but her gaze would occasionally drift towards Mo Shubai, who was diagonally opposite her.
It's likely that her secret crush hasn't changed.
Song Chi glanced around a few more times and saw that almost all the talented disciples from the major immortal sects were there.
She also saw Wen Xiujin there. She glanced at him, and he gave her a cold, disdainful look. He was probably looking down on her for dating a handsome man. This guy had a deep-seated stereotype about her. After all, she had followed him for two days and three nights back then, so he always thought of her as a shameless lecher.
Song Chi even saw Ye Qingyu at Songyue Pavilion on the second floor diagonally opposite.
He initially appeared to have closed the window, but perhaps hearing the noise, he opened it.
The moment their eyes met, Ye Qingyu's gaze sharpened as she stared at Xue Rongzhan, then turned back, her face contorted with rage.
Song Chi then immediately looked at the beautiful woman opposite him, dressed in gorgeous clothes. She was looking at him with great interest; although her face was stunning, her eyes held a touch of girlish innocence.
Song Chi immediately matched her with the character in the book. This must be Ye Qingyu's cousin, Qiao Zixuan, the one who vowed to marry no one but him. Because she was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, she was quite naive.
Ye Qingyu followed her gaze and immediately looked flustered.
Then this kid really showed his skills; he quickly turned his fierce gaze towards us.
"What are you doing here?" and a divine voice roared in her mind.
Song Chi thought to himself, "What I'm doing here has nothing to do with you."
She couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention; she just smiled and was about to close the window.
However, Ye Qingyu had the ability to openly use her spiritual power to forcefully block the window in this situation.
That was fine, but everyone else looked on with encouragement for Ye Qingyu.
Even the Fairy of Butterfly Robes couldn't help but smile softly upon seeing this.
"With the window open, a gentle breeze comes in, which is quite elegant," she added.
Song Chi didn't want to actually fight Ye Qingyu, as that would probably cause a huge scandal. He figured he'd just play the zither, get the key item, and leave immediately. So, he figured he might as well let people watch the spectacle.
She's really used to it...bullshit!
If she were to say at this moment that she really just wanted to cultivate immortality in a low-key manner, I wonder if anyone would believe her.
Never mind, let's get down to business.
"Senior Brother Rong Zhan, did you bring the Young Palace Master's token?" Song Chi asked immediately.
Xue Rongzhan thought to himself, "She really insists on using this as a shield." So he smiled and took out the light blue jade token of the young palace master.
Song Chi immediately took it with a curious look, turning it over and over in his hand, looking like he couldn't put it down.
Xue Rongzhan was just about to ask someone knowledgeable and tactful to tell him some interesting historical facts about the token.
Who knew that the next second, Song Chi would actually—blatantly put the token into her chest.
Not to mention the other disciples in the nearby buildings who gasped in surprise, some were so astonished their jaws almost dropped.
Even though Fairy Butterfly was used to all kinds of people, she was momentarily distracted and almost spilled her tea on the table.
The words Xue Rongzhan was about to say were abruptly cut off by this action, leaving his mind blank for a moment.
Could this be considered, to some extent, an exchange of tokens of love?
This Young Palace Master's Decree, given by a senior member of the Purple Evolution Divine Palace, was indeed used as a token of love exchanged with a close lover.
Fairy Butterfly looked slightly stunned as she watched the book in the hands of the handsome young master Shubai flipping through the pages in the wind.
Then look at Young Master Rong Zhan, whose expression of surprise was equally intense, but whose eyes also flashed with a strange light.
