Chapter 58 058 You can't marry that kind of person!
She was secretly alarmed. These two were probably indeed somewhat attracted to Miss Song. She hadn't been able to tell what was going on with Young Master Rong Zhan before, but now, with that fleeting glance, how could someone like her, who frequented the entertainment industry, not understand?
However, Song Chi's eyes remained clear, yet somewhat indifferent. He looked almost exactly the same as he did back then.
There wasn't a trace of the woman's shyness when she was moved.
Fairy Butterfly was momentarily confused about Song Chi's purpose. She had initially thought that the budding feelings between Song Chi and Young Master Shu Bai hadn't been explicitly acknowledged, so she deliberately arranged to meet Young Master Rong Zhan in order to make Young Master Shu Bai jealous.
That's why he just tactfully said things like "a gentle breeze is coming," giving Song Chi an easy excuse not to close the window.
Now… I'm afraid Song Chi is in love with Young Master Rong Zhan. In that case, it would be better to close the window!
Fairy Butterfly knew that she owed her current success to Song Chi, and therefore, she was eager to help her achieve her wish. So she immediately smiled and said...
"The wind is getting a bit strong; it's easy to get it in your eyes. Let me close this window!"
Unexpectedly, Song Chi propped her chin on her hand, looked out the window, and with her bright little face exposed to the wind, said...
"This breeze is so refreshing and comfortable!"
Fairy Butterfly: "..." So, is she trying to make Young Master Shubai jealous, or does she really like Young Master Rongzhan?
I was just about to say that the wind was a bit strong and could easily get in my eyes. I was going to turn the window away from all the onlookers. Miss Song's intentions are truly unfathomable.
"Would you two like to hear some music?" So the Fairy in Butterfly Robes decided to play some sweet tunes to entertain the two of them.
But to everyone's surprise, Song Chi brought out the pipa and then laughed.
"I won't listen to the zither today. There's a new piece, and I plan to ask Senior Brother Rong Zhan to play it with me."
Fairy Butterfly's eyes immediately lit up. Although she also composed her own music, none of it could compare to the pieces Song Chi had given her. She'd been repeating the same ones over and over the years, and seeing her position threatened, she was quite anxious.
Now that Song Chi had sent her a new melody, it truly saved her life. She immediately cleared the area and dismissed all the servants. She had originally intended to create a seal to mask the sounds from the other pavilions.
Suddenly, everything fell silent, with only the sound of wind rustling through the flowers and leaves coming from Bright Moon Lake.
It seems everyone wants to hear Song Chi's new piece. After all, he's a master of music!
However, Song Chi simply waved his hand, shutting the room out. Fairy Butterfly thought this was even better; it made the place more mysterious, and when she played the piece again, it would attract even more guests. She feared that none of the gentlemen present would want to hear the music.
However, Fairy Butterfly soon discovered that the group of noble young men over there were using their unique abilities to gradually pry open Song Chi's seal, leaving it riddled with holes.
Song Chi had just finished playing music with Xue Rongzhan, and upon sensing the seal, he discovered it was almost completely broken. He was speechless.
These people are really... so boring.
She didn't pay attention at the time and gestured for him to begin. "Senior Brother Rong Zhan, let's begin."
Xue Rongzhan nodded with a smile, and the sound of the xiao flute rose gently before her pipa slowly joined in.
This piece is bright and melodious, with a strong rhythm. The pipa's ornate yet slightly melancholic melody, combined with the flute and xiao, evokes a sense of parting. Hence, it is named "Broken Willow."
Song Chi played this piece only because of her mission. But as she played, she realized something was amiss.
The main point of this piece is that the pipa is indeed chasing the flute and xiao, which conveys a sense of parting with unspoken feelings.
It's practically using music to express feelings. Given the subtle and indirect style of the cultivation world, this is almost equivalent to a direct confession in later generations.
Anyway, the gaze that Xue Rongzhan was looking at gradually softened, becoming more gentle and tender. Even the flute and xiao music started to sound melodious and affectionate, and later, in its more intense parts, it carried a strange sense of declaration.
Song Chi: "..." No, no, it's not as much as you think.
I was genuinely just completing a mission; I truly didn't intend to use the music to express my feelings. So, couldn't that time-traveling junior brother have chosen a piece of music that wouldn't be so easily misunderstood?
However, considering that Xue Rongzhan prefers gentle and affectionate women, this has absolutely nothing to do with her.
Perhaps it was only out of a gentle kindness towards the woman who had confessed her feelings that the flute responded slightly.
Anyway, that should be the case. After the piece was finished, Song Chi saw a blue jade bottle swirling with a wisp of mist, which she then put into her storage ring.
That thing, which looks like it fell from a high roof beam, was hidden in some kind of sealed barrier, remaining undiscovered for a hundred thousand years. And this building is truly resilient; it hasn't collapsed in a hundred thousand years.
Having obtained what he wanted, Song Chi immediately removed the ruthless object.
She put away her zither and stood up. "Senior Brother Rong Zhan, Fairy Dieyi, I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Xue Rongzhan: "..."
Even Fairy Butterfly was a little stunned, let alone him. The two had just finished expressing their feelings through music, and she was just about to find an excuse to leave so that they could have time to pour out their hearts to each other.
Why is Miss Song leaving in such a hurry?
Perhaps you're just shy. Hmm, that's a possibility.
That's actually for the best. This flustered and shy feeling will probably make Young Master Rong Zhan miss and love you even more.
Song Chi took two steps, then quickly turned back and took out the light blue jade pendant hidden in his chest.
"Oh, right, this jade pendant... I've finished looking at it, here you go."
Xue Rongzhan: "..." He really wanted to say that he was just keeping the jade pendant for nothing, and that if he liked it, he could take it. He just wanted to phrase it as tactfully as possible.
But to everyone's surprise, Song Chi suddenly looked out the window at a certain spot.
"Master!" Then he was so frightened that the tips of his hair almost stood on end.
Xue Rongzhan looked out the window and indeed saw a figure in green robes following his friend to the shore of Mingyue Lake.
As luck would have it, their gazes met. Of course, with such a commotion on Song Chi's side, even the two experts who weren't paying attention to such things glanced over under everyone's gaze.
Immediately, Xue Rongzhan saw that Venerable Xueqiao almost plucked out several of his beard hairs, and his face twitched violently.
"Your jade pendant!" Song Chi immediately shoved the young palace master's jade pendant into his hand, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye like a mouse seeing a cat.
"You brat!" Venerable Xueqiao gritted his teeth, mouthing this. However, he didn't actually vent his anger, because Mo Shubai and You Qin quickly landed by Bright Moon Lake to pay their respects.
After Mo Shubai had paid his respects to the friends of Venerable Xueqiao, he heard Venerable Xueqiao give him some instructions.
"Shubai, keep an eye on that girl and make sure she doesn't run around. I don't eat people, so why are you so afraid of me?"
After saying that, he added in a low voice, "But we should avoid places like this. You go quickly, that brat, she's always causing trouble if we don't keep an eye on her."
"Third Junior Sister is just visiting a friend; she's not trying to cause any trouble," Shu Bai explained.
"Visiting friends? What friends could she possibly have? Never mind, you should all go now."
It ended with Mo Shubai and his fellow disciples leaving.
Xue Rongzhan also bid farewell to Fairy Dieyi and secretly followed. He discovered that Song Chi had remained hidden the entire way, not going anywhere else, and quickly returned to the Qingjian Sect's guild hall.
And then she didn't go out again. She's quite well-behaved! I wonder... what she's feeling right now. Was that song truly her heartfelt sentiment...?
And how he will face Shu Bai in the future.
After Song Chi returned to the guild hall after completing her mission, the next day, the entire Changge City was abuzz with the news that she had expressed her feelings for Young Master Rong Zhan with a song.
Furthermore, Young Master Rong Zhan presented the Young Palace Master's token as a token of their love, and the two are now a loving couple.
At that moment, Song Chi only had one word in his mind—6!
This rumor is so unreliable; it's truly worthy of the cultivation world she knows—it hasn't strayed from the truth at all.
Everyone else stopped talking, but Qi Zhenmo even came to her courtyard and asked with a smile, "You wouldn't actually be in love with that young master Rong Zhan, would you?"
Song Chi rolled his eyes. "Do you believe that?"
Qi Zhenmo seemed to have guessed something, and after staring at her for a while with his arm around her back, he smiled and left.
Of course, Ye Qingyu also came with a dark expression, but his master simply swept him back to his courtyard with a flick of his sleeve.
It's likely that Master really doesn't want to hear any more rumors about her.
Moreover, the following day, Venerable Xueqiao, with a dark face, ordered the group to depart a day earlier and return to the sect.
Two months later, Song Chi returned to the sect and was immediately placed under house arrest by his master. This time, he was truly locked up tightly, and no one was allowed to see him.
Moreover, after only two days of confinement, her master, not wanting things to go wrong, called her up the mountain for a long talk.
"Xue Rongzhan is a man of exceptional talent, shrewdness, and ability. He is the one who will take on the important responsibility of becoming the Palace Master of the Ziyan Divine Palace in the future."
"Have you thought about this, girl? Being the wife of this kind of person... there will be trouble all the time. With your lazy nature, can you really stand it?"
Song Chi: "..." Master, in this cultivation world, you are probably the only one who has thought about getting married and having children.
But that's impossible.
"Master, if I say I don't have feelings for Young Master Rong Zhan, will you believe me?"
At that moment, Master's beard bristled with anger, and he slammed his fist on the table. "If you don't like him, you brat, why did you play such a mournful and passionate melody with him?"
Song Chi: "..." That was for the mission, do you believe me or not?
But she couldn't say that, so she could only shrug. "Master, it really was a misunderstanding!"
This shrug was disastrous. Her master disliked her lazy attitude and chased her down Yunhai Songshan. Then he immediately put her in solitary confinement!
After Master was beaten, Song Yun quickly sent a letter, writing a hesitant sentence.
"I've heard that Young Master Rong Zhan is fond of a gentle and affectionate woman, but Chi'er is indifferent and aloof. She is not a good match for him."
Song Chi: "..." She was speechless. She'd said it before: ever since she ascended to the Immortal Realm, her top priority would be to smash this junior brother's head in!
That's all fine, but it happened on the eve of the Lantern Festival that year.
For reasons unknown, Xue Rongzhan sent her a large batch of brightly blooming snow plum blossoms from the North. The pure white flowers crowded together, looking delicate and lovely. According to the boy, this flower was also known as the green plum blossom, simply because of its innocent charm and flawless purity.
According to Xue Rongzhan, he saw these flowers blooming beautifully during his travels in the north and thought they suited her, so he sent them a long way to show his appreciation. He hoped she wouldn't find them offensive.
Song Chi didn't find anything to complain about. The snow plum blossoms were pure white and lovely, and were a famous flower of the northern icy sea region; she thought they were quite beautiful.
But why would he send all this? Could he have really misunderstood the meaning behind that piece of music?
And what's the point of sending all this? Could it be that Xue Rongzhan is moved by her feelings and is therefore planning to date her?
He sent these things over in a grand manner, because he dug up ninety-nine snow plum blossoms and transported them over by flying boat.
This guy's real intention is probably to make sure the entire cultivation world sees that he's sent flowers to the Azure Sword Sect for her.
As Song Chi looked at the snow plum blossoms with worry, her master casually passed by her door and saw the courtyard full of pure white snow plum blossoms. At that moment, his face darkened.
"What is that kid doing!"
"Hmph, Venerable Xuanji should discipline her eldest disciple. What's the point of sending these things here for no reason? It's outrageous."
Judging from his angry expression, he's probably going to write a letter to Venerable Xuanji.
However, before leaving, Master appeared calm and indifferent. "What are you planning to do, you little rascal?" As if afraid she might fall for him, alarm bells were ringing all over his back.
Song Chi smiled involuntarily. How could she be moved? Her master was simply overthinking things.
"Master, I will write a letter to thank you and decline Young Master Rong Zhan's offer," she said firmly.
Venerable Xueqiao waved his hand. "It's enough to just refuse in the letter. If these flowers are taken back to the Purple Evolution Divine Palace, they will probably wither, which would be a pity."
He then arranged for people to plant these snow plum blossoms at the foot of Songshan Mountain, diagonally opposite Mingjing Lake, as far away as possible from Songchi.
Song Chi also wrote a letter thanking Xue Rongzhan for his kindness, saying that his master greatly admired the flower and had already planted it at the foot of his mountain. Surely, someone as intelligent as Xue Rongzhan couldn't possibly misunderstand the unspoken meaning.
After that, Xue Rongzhan didn't send any more gifts in a grand manner.
However, this little incident became a major event in which Young Master Rong Zhan showed his great affection for her, and it spread like wildfire throughout the cultivation world.
Song Chi was under house arrest and couldn't be bothered with all this commotion. She didn't need any more gossip anyway.
Moreover, she then went into seclusion for ten years, which frightened her so much that in the third year, her master sent a servant to tell her that she didn't need to be so restrained and that it would be good for her to go to different parts of the sect to relax.
She didn't go. No way, how could she not work hard to improve her cultivation? There was a whole host of tasks waiting for her.
Ten years later, the rapid advancement in her cultivation that she had experienced in the early stages began to slow down. By this time, her cultivation was actually just approaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
