Chapter 15 Dad's Letter
Upon seeing this, Xiao Liyue immediately stood up and thanked, "Thank you for the recommendation, Great Elder and other elders. Liyue will not let you down."
The great elder stroked his white beard and smiled. "Yeah! Not bad."
The second elder laughed and stood up, holding up his glass high: "Yue girl, I am very optimistic about you! You are now a young elder, so I, the old man, would like to toast you."
"Second Elder, you are too polite. You should be a junior. I'd like to toast you." Xiao Liyue raised the glass in his hand proudly and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing how generous she was, the second elder happily joined in.
Soon she and the second elder started drinking together and they were having a great time.
Some other elders have always been dissatisfied with Xiao Liyue, so no one went to congratulate her. Instead, they all gathered around Mo Jingxuan and Liu Ruxi, obviously favoring them more.
When the other disciples saw her drinking so generously, they were all attracted by her. Although only half of her face was exposed, it was still pleasing to the eyes.
Even Mo Jingxuan couldn't help but take a few glances.
Seeing that all the male disciples' attention was drawn to Xiao Liyue, Liu Ruxi suppressed her dissatisfaction, slowly stood up and said with a smile: "The elders and everyone are so happy today, Ruxi will perform a song for everyone present to liven up the atmosphere."
After saying this, he glanced at Xiao Liyue, his eyes full of arrogance.
Xiao Liyue just smiled and drank, ignoring her showing off.
When the disciples in the hall saw that Liu Ruxi was going to perform a song, they clapped and shouted excitedly.
"It is our honor to hear Elder Liu play music."
"That's right! I'm so lucky today."
"Oh my god! I can actually hear Elder Liu playing the piano. This is enough for my life."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were back on her, Liu Ruxi smiled gently.
Then Liu Ruxi leaned forward slightly, took out the guqin from the space ring and sat down gracefully. She showed her slender white jade fingers, stroked the surface of the guqin, concentrated her mind and thought deeply, and the next moment the sound of the guqin rang out in the hall.
As the beautiful and lively piano music flowed out from her fingers, it was like a thin stream flowing through her heart, soft and beautiful.
Xiao Liyue leaned lazily in the chair, drinking a little wine while listening to Liu Ruxi playing the piano. At the same time, she had to admit that she played quite well, worthy of being the heroine.
Looking at the disciples and the male protagonist who were listening attentively in the hall, you can tell that the aura of the female protagonist should not be underestimated.
After a long time, Liu Ruxi finished playing and slowly stood up.
"Thank you, everyone."
It was not until she thanked him that everyone reacted and started clapping and shouting.
"It's so beautiful. I'm fascinated by it."
"I have never heard such beautiful and moving piano music. It feels like my soul has been sublimated."
"Elder Liu is worthy of being the most talented woman in the world of immortal cultivation. Her piano skills are skillful and agile. Every time she plays, she can evoke people's deepest emotions. She is amazing." Yang Zilong, the eldest disciple of the Fifth Elder, applauded excitedly.
"Uncle Liu plays the piano so beautifully. I'm afraid we'll never find anyone in this world of immortal cultivation who is better at playing the piano than Uncle Liu!" Mu Ling'er also flattered him.
The elder smiled and said, "Ruxi girl is thoughtful and plays the piano well. Thank you for your hard work."
Seeing that the Great Elder also praised her, Liu Ruxi couldn't help but feel happy. "Thank you, Great Elder, and thank you very much for liking my piano music."
Mo Jingxuan looked at her tenderly and whispered, "Xi'er plays the piano very well. You are worthy of being my Xi'er."
Liu Ruxi sat down shyly and looked at him with coquettish eyes. "Hate..."
Seeing her so shy, Mo Jingxuan smiled brightly.
Xiao Liyue sat next to the two of them, and was fed dog food by them until she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
The Fifth Elder raised his glass and laughed at Liu Ruxi, saying, "Eighth Elder, you don't have to be polite. Come on... Let's raise our glasses to celebrate the Seventh and Eighth Elders' early advancement to Golden Core cultivators."
"Okay... Let's toast to the Seventh and Eighth Elders."
All the disciples raised their glasses and drank happily.
The disciples who were able to participate in this sect banquet were all the great elders, the great deacon elders, and the direct disciples of the great protectors.
Ordinary inner disciples cannot participate at all.
Xiao Liyue, who drank the wine from the world of immortality for the first time, completely fell in love with the taste of this spiritual wine.
Even Chiyi, who had eaten his fill, lay on the table and burped loudly, humming a little. It was the first time it had eaten such delicious food, so it ate too much.
Seeing its bulging belly, Xiao Liyue wondered if it would explode, so she reached out and rubbed its belly to promote digestion.
After rubbing for a while, he stopped.
Chiyi, who was feeling comfortable being rubbed, just lay down on his back, revealing his plump white belly. He poked her hand with his paw, signaling her to continue rubbing.
Xiao Liyue smiled dotingly and shook her head, and had to continue rubbing its belly.
The Great Elder looked at her behavior tonight, which was completely different from before. It seemed that she had really grown up, and his heart was filled with joy and relief.
I remember that when the head of the sect, Xiao Lintian, left, he said that if he didn't come back in half a year, he hoped that he could promote Mo Jingxuan and Liu Ruxi to the position of elders in advance, and at the same time persuade the other elders to let Xiao Liyue be an elder as well.
That day, he had doubted whether Xiao Liyue's character and cultivation level would allow her to be qualified for the position of elder. Now, it seems that she can really become the sect's next strong person who can make a comeback by using her useless spiritual roots.
Before the banquet was over, the Great Elder asked Xiao Liuyue to go out with him, so Xiao Liuyue picked up the sleeping Chiyi and went away with him.
Liu Ruxi looked at the two people's backs as they left, wondering what she was thinking.
Xiao Liyue, who was following closely behind the Great Elder, was filled with confusion when she saw that the Great Elder had actually brought her to the sect's treasure house.
She was stunned for a moment until the Great Elder brought her to the top floor of the treasure pavilion and put his hand on a jade wall, causing a secret door to open.
Looking at her in a daze, the elder said without turning his head: "Go in!"
"Ah! Oh, here I come." She hurriedly followed.
As she came in, the secret door closed automatically, and the luminous pearls illuminated the entire attic.
The great elder walked to the table, picked up the exquisite wooden box on the table, and walked towards her with a serious face.
"Girl Yue, this is what the master told me half a year ago. I will hand it over to you when you break through to the late stage of foundation building."
Seeing how serious he was, Xiao Liyue felt a little uneasy when she took the wooden box.
"Great Elder, where is my father?"
The Great Elder shook his head. "Alas... after sending the wooden box, there was no news from the Sect Master. The Grand Elder and I thought that the Sect Master had gone into seclusion to practice, but the Sect Master's longevity lamp suddenly went out half a month after he left the wooden box behind."
Xiao Liyue couldn't believe it and was at a loss. "Could it be that my father is dead?"
The Great Elder shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. The Grand Elder and I suspect that the Sect Master has ascended to heaven, so the longevity lamp went out. After all, there is no such person in the world of cultivation, so it is reasonable that the longevity lamp went out."
"Furthermore, the Grand Elder and I also hope that you can find out some information about the reason why the Sect Master's longevity lamp went out from the wooden box that the Sect Master left for you."
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Liyue opened the wooden box, which contained a storage ring, a leader's token and a letter.
She put the storage ring into the space ring, then opened the letter and read it slowly.
After opening it, I saw the words written on it: My dear Yue'er, when you open this letter, Daddy may have ascended to heaven or is no longer in the world of immortal cultivation. But don't worry, Daddy will be fine. After all, I still have to find your mother and see my dear Yue'er get married and have children.
Yue'er, when daddy is not around, you must take good care of yourself. Your mother and I will come back to reunite with you as soon as possible.
Remember, don't go looking for me and your mother on purpose. Just take good care of yourself. That's your father and your mother's greatest wish.
Your loving father Xiao Lin Tianliu.
After reading it, Xiao Liyue suddenly felt a lump in her throat and almost shed tears. Ever since her rebirth, she has completely regarded Xiao Lintian as her real father.
