Chapter 95

Although it was just an ordinary "Yangchun Baise" (a traditional Chinese musical piece), it was completely different from what ordinary people played. It seemed to have no particular tune, as if it were a spontaneous creation, yet you could still recognize it as "Yangchun Baise."

As the sound of the flute rose, everyone fell silent, gradually being drawn into the realm of the music, completely immersed in its atmosphere!

Slowly, the flute music changed, transforming from the refined and extraordinary "Yangchun Baise" to something more down-to-earth, like the cries of street vendors, the laughter of children, and the toil of farmers...

It was as if it transported everyone into a vivid scene from the "Qingming Shanghe Tu" (a famous ancient Chinese painting), reminding them of the small things they usually overlooked in their daily lives, which were actually the most important parts of their lives!

Even Xiaoran thought about his past, the days on Earth, the days on the Ancient Continent, and the days in the martial arts world...

At this moment, even the hard-working and overtime days seemed to become precious.

The flute music suddenly stopped!

No one in the hall could speak!

Wang Tong raised his head and lamented, "Enough, enough!

After hearing Miss Shi's performance, I doubt I will ever hear such beautiful music again. Miss Shi not only inherited her mother's true teachings but surpassed her. I, Wang Tong, am in awe!"

Ouyang Xiyi also said, "Since Fairy Qingxuan is here, why don't you come in and let Uncle see how much you resemble Xiuxin!"

The two of them looked like typical otakus who had been chasing after a goddess in vain.

Xiaoran was somewhat disdainful, "You guys, who don't even have the qualifications to be backup options, are really embarrassing the otaku community!"

At this moment, a sweet and gentle voice, indescribable in words, sounded, "Qingxuan's flute skills are just learned from predecessors, nothing extraordinary!

Xiaogongzi's 'Shuidiao Getou' is truly unique and rare in the world. I look forward to more masterpieces from Xiaogongzi!

Meeting is better than not meeting.

Qingxuan, following her mother's last wishes, specially played this piece for the two uncles. Now that it's done, Qingxuan must leave!"

Everyone was in an uproar, trying to persuade her to stay. Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu immediately disappeared, but they found that someone had run even faster!

That person was naturally Xiaoran, using the Kuihua Body Technique to chase after Shi Qingxuan's figure!

Dan Wanjing showed no jealousy at all. For one, they hadn't reached the stage of romantic involvement, and for another, she also wanted to see what kind of woman could play such a piece!

It was no surprise that Xiaoran reacted this way!

Xiaoran had long noticed Shi Qingxuan's arrival but didn't expect it to be her!

Among the most beautiful women in the Tang Dynasty, one must be Shi Qingxuan. Xiaoran, of course, wanted to see what Shi Qingxuan looked like, not out of any ulterior motives, but out of human nature!

Shi Qingxuan's lightness was extremely high, without a trace of earthly烟火 (smoke and fire, metaphor for the mundane world), like a forest sprite.

But no matter how high her lightness was, she couldn't shake off Xiaoran. After half an incense stick, Shi Qingxuan stopped and scolded, "You, knowing I don't want to see people, still chase after me like this!"

The thin veil and the ugly fake nose were nothing to the Piercing Phoenix Eye, and Xiaoran saw Shi Qingxuan's true appearance!

Shi Qingxuan's appearance was flawless, but more importantly, she had a fairy-like aura, comparable to a game's elf race coming to the real world!

Xiaoran smiled, "I didn't think much, just wanted to see what the little sister looks like."

"Now that you've seen me, you can leave."

Shi Qingxuan had an aura that kept people at a distance!

Xiaoran, though inexperienced with beautiful women, had a thick skin, "A fairy-like beauty like you, one look isn't enough!"

Shi Qingxuan said, "Didn't you say you admired women like the head of the Fanzhai? Why do you look at Qingxuan differently...

Sigh, with your keen eyesight, you must have seen through my veil and are now extremely disappointed!"

Xiaoran almost choked, "That was just a joke, don't take it seriously!

Just chatting with you and hearing your beautiful voice is enough, no disappointment at all!"

Shi Qingxuan scolded, "You clearly saw through my fake nose, didn't you!"

Xiaoran admitted, "Of course!

Moreover, liking to look at beautiful girls and chat with those who have a nice voice is human nature!

Besides, your musical skills are so extraordinary, I really want to hear more!"

Shi Qingxuan was stunned, "You speak of your womanizing so openly, I'm speechless!"

Xiaoran protested, "I've never been in a relationship, how can I be womanizing!"

Seeing Xiaoran's expression, Shi Qingxuan found it both amusing and annoying. She finally let her guard down, flew up, and landed on a rooftop, looking at the bright moon and suddenly asked Xiaoran, "Is there really a palace on the moon? Is there really a moon palace, with Chang'e dancing and the jade rabbit pounding medicine?"

Xiaoran sat beside her, "Of course not!

The moon just reflects the sun's light, it doesn't emit light itself!

The moon is full of craters of all sizes, like a toad covered in warts, not as beautiful as people imagine!"

Saying this, Xiaoran suddenly remembered the legend of the toad on the moon. Could the ancients have seen the moon's true appearance? Shi Qingxuan looked at Xiaoran suspiciously, "Are you lying? It's as if you've been to the moon! How can you sing about the moon palace so well!?"

Xiaoran said seriously, "That's just people's imagination, the gap between imagination and reality is huge!

Not just the moon, I've even been to the sun!"

Shi Qingxuan wrinkled her cute nose and took off her fake nose, "Lying, the moon is one thing, but the sun is so far away that it can still shine and warm the earth. You'd be burned to death if you went there!

Besides, how could you fly so high? You're really good at charming girls, you've piqued Qingxuan's curiosity!

With such high martial arts skills and such good poetry, what kind of person are you?"

Xiaoran shrugged, "Just a normal person, with a bit more experience than others! I've traveled the world, seen a lot, and heard many stories!"

"That explains why you can talk so much about the moon, almost making Qingxuan believe you, and even lie about going to the sun. You're really despicable!"

"I'm telling the truth, I went at night!"

...

Thus, Xiaoran and Shi Qingxuan chatted all night. At dawn, Xiaoran even cooked a meal for Shi Qingxuan using ingredients from his storage space!

Shi Qingxuan put down her chopsticks and said, "Although Qingxuan isn't greedy for food, I've never eaten anything so delicious.

Now that I've been tricked into eating your food, I naturally have to return the favor!

Qingxuan invites you to visit her cottage in the future!"

She then told Xiaoran her address and left gracefully!

Although Xiaoran hadn't slept all night, he was still in high spirits. Seeing Shi Qingxuan walk far away, Xiaoran looked into the void and said, "Since the Great Evil King has honored us with your presence, why not show yourself and have a chat!"

A figure flashed, and a middle-aged man appeared before Xiaoran!

He wore Confucian robes, stood tall and straight, and looked handsome and graceful, with a hint of white in his temples, giving him an indescribable mysterious aura. Dew had condensed on his hair, clearly indicating he had been outside all night!

Although Xiaoran didn't recognize him, this person had listened to their conversation all night and had such high martial arts skills. He was also old but still so handsome. It could only be the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan!

Shi Zhixuan's gaze on Xiaoran had no killing intent, but rather a look a father-in-law might give a potential son-in-law, a mix of joy, reluctance, and scrutiny!

After a while, Shi Zhixuan said, "I've heard of your reputation, but I didn't expect you to be so young and already so accomplished!

I've never seen Qingxuan invite anyone to her cottage before.

But I see you have a womanizing nature, and you were with a girl earlier, now you're trying to charm Qingxuan!

Enough, to prevent Qingxuan from being hurt by a man, I'll kill you!"

He had been talking nicely, but now he wanted to kill, the thoughts of a madman were truly unpredictable!

Xiaoran shook his head, "What a simplistic and brutal idea!

If you kill me, Qingxuan might never marry, and I was just getting along well with her!

Besides, if you're talking about men who have hurt Qingxuan, aren't you the one who hurt her the most?"

Hearing this, Shi Zhixuan's eyes immediately changed, filled with killing intent!

"I've never killed out of anger, but you will be the first exception!"

"Given your current schizophrenic state, I just have two words for you: 'haha'!"
