Wu Chen, who read a lot of books in the Sutra Library of Tianlong Temple, happened to read a book that mentioned weapon souls.
"It is indeed as Monk Hua said. The spirit of this Yaoqin was forged by Ran Qiyue, the Imperial Master of Zhaoyang Nation."
“Snap!”
Mu Lige had a premonition, and a tear couldn't help but slide down the corner of her eye and fall on the strings of the Yaoqin.
"The spirit in this Yaoqin...whose soul is it?" Mu Lige's eyes were red, and he turned his head to look at Hua Qingcheng beside him.
"Yes...Prince Su Mu! That's your father, Brother Li." Hua Qingcheng raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Mu Lige's eyes.
Although Su Mutiansheng told Hua Qingcheng not to tell Mu Lige about this, Hua Qingcheng finally felt that Mu Lige should still know.
"As expected..."
Mu Lige suddenly burst into tears.
No wonder he'd felt so uneasy and flustered when he'd first seen the zither. No wonder Qingqing had asked him to teach her how to play it...
"Brother Li, when the Su Mu Tianjun Volcano and the Eastern Palace burned to death, the story didn't end there. To please the new emperor, Imperial Preceptor Ran Qiyue separated the souls of Prince Su Mu and Princess Su Mu and imprisoned them in the Soul Locking Well for forty-nine days before imprisoning Prince Su Mu's soul in this Yaoqin. His intention was to cause him to wander the Three Realms, never to be reborn, and to prevent him and Princess Su Mu from ever meeting again!"
"I'm going to kill Su Mutianjun and Ran Qiyue!" Veins bulged on Wu Chen's forehead, his eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched, and his heart was filled with hatred.
"Achen~"
"Calm down."
Mu Lige glanced at his brother calmly. Li Zhen was the only sibling he, Su Mu Lige, had in the world. How could he allow him to act impulsively?
"Qingqing, how did you know all this?"
Mu Lige glanced at Hua Qingcheng with an unclear expression.
She...why didn't she tell me this earlier?
"Brother Li, it's not that Qingcheng wants to hide it from you, but... it was Prince Su Mu and the Crown Princess who asked me not to tell you." Hua Qingcheng wiped the tears from Mu Lige's face with great heartache.
"You... can see them?" Mu Lige was slightly surprised.
"Yes. By chance, a drop of my blood fell into this Yaoqin, and I was contracted to it, becoming the owner of this Yaoqin." Hua Qingcheng told Mu Lige everything that had happened.
"Where is my mother?" Mu Lige looked at Hua Qingcheng expectantly.
"Brother Li, Monk Hua, this Yaoqin has a dimension called 'Butterfly Valley'. It's a place where spring blossoms and butterflies flutter. Crown Prince Su Mu usually stays there, while the Crown Princess is within the black jade around Crown Prince Su Mu's waist. The Crown Princess...is now a Jade Spirit. Of course, they can meet in person in Butterfly Valley."
"That's good. My father and mother were so deeply in love. They can be together in death, so I won't be lonely."
Mu Lige gave Hua Qingcheng a bitter smile, then held Hua Qingcheng's hands tightly.
"Qingqing, do you... have a way for me to see my father and mother?"
