Ye Xiao was so angry when she praised Ye Nian that his face turned red, but he couldn't show it, so he could only bury his head and drink in silence.
As soon as Nie Feiyan said this, other guests immediately echoed her words. After all, none of the people who came to the banquet had heard of the Xuan Yuan Two Saints; they had all come for the owner of the Qin House.
Jiang Bai also looked at Chu Nian, revealing an expectant expression. Lou Qianzong saw this, rolled his eyes, and downed a glass of wine in one gulp.
Chu Nian smiled and said, "Since everyone wants to hear it, then I will make a fool of myself." With that, he picked up his pipa and played a piece called "Pipa Language".
When the piece ended, everyone cheered. Lou Qianzong grumbled angrily, "What's so good about it? I've known how to play this piece for thousands of years."
Chu Nian laughed and said, "Mr. Lou, your words have revealed your age!"
"So what?" Lou Qianzong asked irritably. You are all insignificant juniors in front of me.
Jiang Bai said helplessly, "Qian Zong, you must show more respect to Mr. Dongfang. You must not show any disrespect to Mr. Dongfang in the future."
Lou Qianzong asked angrily, "Why?"
Jiang Bai: "There is no reason! When you see him in the future, it will be as if you are seeing your teacher. Disrespecting him is disrespecting your teacher."
Lou Qianzong: "He's just better at playing the piano and singing, as for..."
"Hmm?" Jiang Bai glared at him with a cold face.
Lou Qianzong's complaints got stuck in his throat, and he could only angrily take another swig of wine.
Although this piece, "Pipa Language," was beautiful, it was far more tranquil than the piece "Left Finger Pointing to the Moon" that Nie Feiyan had heard in the music room. As a result, she was somewhat unsatisfied and wanted to ask for another piece, but since she had already asked to hear a piece, she could not ask again now.
Helpless, she gave Ye Xiao several meaningful glances, but Ye Xiao pretended not to notice—he was still angry, and this woman kept speaking up for Ye Nian without considering his feelings.
Moreover, Ye Xiao didn't want Ye Nian to steal the spotlight again.
Gongsun Liang, seeing that Nie Feiyan hesitated several times before speaking, and even tried to signal to Chao Yexiao without receiving a response, guessed that Nie Feiyan wanted to hear a piece of music but didn't want to speak. So he smiled and said, "Mr. Dongfang's pipa performance was truly amazing, leaving a lingering impression on us. We feel we haven't had enough. Would you please perform another piece so we can enjoy it once more?"
Chu Nian thought that Gongsun Liang was truly sensible, having already changed his address to "Mr. Dongfang," so she naturally wanted to reciprocate and smiled, "Alright!"
Chu Nian immediately picked up her pipa and played another piece, "Rain Shatters the South of the Yangtze River".
After the piece ended, Jiang Bai couldn't help but say, "The music is over, Mr. Dongfang should return to his music room."
Chu Nian chuckled helplessly and said, "Alright, I'll take my leave now." She guessed that this person was probably eager to catch up with her, so she got up to say goodbye and left gracefully.
Lou Qianzong frowned and said, "Master, you invited them here, but you didn't even let them enjoy the food at the banquet before sending them away. How can you be so shameless?"
Jiang Bai scoffed, "What do you know?!" With that, he stood up, transformed into a white cloud, and drifted away in an instant.
Lou Qianzong naturally followed him to the door of the Qin House.
Jiang Bai instructed, "You wait here."
Lou Qianzong asked angrily, "Why?"
Jiang Bai: "I have something to say to that Mr. Dongfang."
Lou Qianzong: "Is there anything I can't know?"
Jiang Bai: "There are many things you can't know." As he spoke, he floated into the music room.
Lou Qianzong was unwilling to wait outside, but he was blocked by the barrier of the Qinshe and could not get in. He was both shocked and angry: he was angry that someone dared to stop him; he was shocked that in this world, there was still someone who could stop him!
He could only wait outside.
Jiang Bai entered the music room and went straight to Chu Nian's room. Hu Tiantian had just finished helping her wash up and was startled when she saw Jiang Bai come in. She exclaimed in horror, "How dare you barge into the master's room like this!"
Jiang Bai looked Hu Tiantian up and down and said, "Oh, it's you."
Hu Tiantian asked in surprise, "You recognize me?"
Jiang Bai: "Hmm." He had seen him in the Azure Sky, but he had changed his appearance, so it was normal for Hu Tiantian not to recognize him. He paused for a moment and said, "You can leave now. Your master and I have something to discuss."
Hu Tiantian turned to look at Chu Nian, who was lying on her side on the bed. Chu Nian gestured for her to leave, and she did. Before leaving, she rolled her eyes at Jiang Bai.
After she left, Jiang Bai walked to the bedside, paused for a moment, and then said, "Now that you are a man, that little fox shouldn't be serving you so intimately anymore!"
Chu Nian said, "Does that mean I should have Xiao Jin serve me?"
"No way!" Jiang Bai immediately objected, almost losing his temper.
Chu Nian: "Then who do you think would be more suitable to serve me?"
Jiang Bai thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why don't I, your disciple, personally serve you, Master?"
Chu Nian smiled helplessly and said, "Do you have any shame?"
Jiang Bai said solemnly, "It is only natural for a disciple to serve his master. What's wrong with that?"
Chu Nian grew increasingly helpless and said lazily, "Who do you associate with this serious-sounding nonsense?"
Jiang Bai remained serious and said, "Of course, like teacher, like student."
Chu Nian coughed lightly and said, "You and the prince seem to have been doing quite well these past few years."
Jiang Bai sighed helplessly, "Three thousand years have passed since you left, and the Xuan Yuan Sect is almost deserted."
Chu Nian: "With the two Saints of Xuan Yuan still alive, how could you possibly have no disciples? Let Lou Qianzong take on a few disciples. With his abilities, he should be able to train some excellent talents."
Jiang Bai: "He refused to accept it, saying he was afraid that someone would bother him in the future, and then he wouldn't have time to bother me."
Chu Nian chuckled after hearing this and said, "That's what they call 'the wicked will be punished by the wicked'!"
Jiang Bai scoffed and said, "That probably applies to my master too." With that, he casually took off his shoes and got into bed.
Chu Nian kicked him down.
Jiang Bai said, embarrassed and annoyed, "You are a man now, what's wrong with the two of us, master and disciple, sleeping side by side?!"
Chu Nian: "You and your disciple go and sleep side by side. Your master is not used to sleeping in the same bed with others. Get out!"
Jiang Bai: "I won't leave!"
Chu Nian said angrily, "Believe me or not, I'll beat you up?"
Jiang Bai: "We finally met again, and at first you refused to acknowledge me; now that we've finally acknowledged each other, you're constantly trying to beat me up? What kind of master are you?"
Chu Nian stared at his charmingly naive expression and asked in bewilderment, "Where did you learn this skill of acting cute?" After thinking for a moment, she guessed, "You probably learned it from your apprentice!"
Jiang Bai quickly replied, "No, that's not it."
Chu Nian chuckled softly, unconsciously recalling the first time she met Lou Qianzong.
