Chapter 50: Line up, they're all here to look for Protector Yu
In Shuijingtang, in Xianxinzhai, a pipa sound like jade beads running on a disk is being performed here.
It wasn't until the last lingering sound dissipated that the Shui Jing Hall disciples in the audience started to applaud.
Bowing slightly to the audience, Liu Zijin walked off the stage with his pipa in his arms. Just as he was about to return to his seat, he saw senior brother Kong Annan walking up to him, waving his folding fan and praising: "Junior sister, this big string is so noisy.
During the pelting rain, the little strings were whispering, it was truly wonderful."
Immediately afterwards, several other senior brothers also sent compliments.
"Thank you for the compliments, senior brothers." Liu Zijin smiled and saluted all the senior brothers, but she felt a sense of loss in her heart. She had clearly played a few wrong notes on purpose just now, but no one mentioned it. She was still full of
Praise.
However, she didn't want to hear compliments at all at this moment. What she wanted to hear was Senior Brother Jiang's cold words without emotion, and it would be even better if he had those sharp eyes.
'If my senior brother were here... he would definitely say that I am clumsy.'
Sighing in his heart, Liu Zijin returned to his seat surrounded by all his senior brothers. He couldn't help but think of his senior brothers' disgusted eyes and demeanor of being a thousand miles away, as well as the words they said when they said goodbye.
"After returning to the sect, we will go back to our respective halls. If nothing happens, we should not interact with each other again."
This is the first time since I was a child that someone has annoyed me like this.
'Obviously I should be unhappy...but why, why does my heart beat so fast every time I think about it? I really want to be...see my senior brother again.'
In the past few days, Liu Zijin had actually had the urge to secretly go to Lanxintang to see her senior brother, but his senior brother's abilities were too great. She was worried that she would be discovered, and then she would never see her senior brother again...
Just like that, with sighs, the music class was over, and after leaving Xianxinzhai, Liu Zijin refused Senior Brother Kong's invitation on the grounds that he wanted to go back and continue practicing pipa.
"Sister Zijin, sister Zijin!"
Walking on the gravel road back to the house, Liu Zijin suddenly heard three familiar voices. When he turned around, he saw that they were indeed the three sisters of the Yu family.
"Sister Zijin! Big news!"
"Guess what we found?"
“You’d never expect it!”
Listening to the three sisters of the Yu family speaking in turn, Liu Zijin asked: "What did you find?"
"Just take a guess."
"Three chances."
“There’s a surprise if you guess it.”
Liu Zijin smiled slightly and said, "Just stop making trouble, I have to go back to practice in a hurry."
"Okay." Seeing that Liu Zijin really didn't seem to be interested in guessing the riddle, Yu Guishui directly announced the answer: "We saw Senior Brother Jiang coming to Shuijing Hall."
"Seriously!?" Liu Zijin asked in great surprise.
"really."
"We saw it with our own eyes."
"I think I went to the Mirror Garden."
"Mirror Garden?" Liu Zijin's expression looked a little disappointed.
The people living in the Mirror Garden are all the middle and high-level people in the Shuijing Hall, which means that the senior brother is definitely not here to find them.
"Sister Zijin, do we want to go take a look?"
"Just treat it as a chance encounter."
"Yes, it's normal to meet us at Shuijingtang."
"This..." Looking at the expectant eyes of the three sisters of the Yu family, Liu Zijin thought for a moment and replied: "Then go and have a look."
"Okay!" The three sisters of the Yu family cheered in unison.
"Wait, let's call Qiu Yao first."
They replied "Okay" in unison, and the three sisters followed Liu Zijin and ran towards Qiushui Pavilion where they practiced martial arts.
…
"Oh, I really want to change my relationship..."
Walking in the Shui Jing Hall, Jiang Beiran sighed repeatedly. When he first met Zhang Heqing, he had admired his calm demeanor and his meticulous caution when negotiating terms, but now all these have become a thing.
Nothing left, only the appearance of being humbled by love.
However, the matter of changing halls can only be discussed in the end. Jiang Bei was able to live so comfortably in Lanxintang with his status as a registered disciple, but he put a lot of effort into it. How could he start from scratch?
After asking for directions several times, Jiang Beiran finally bit the bullet and arrived in front of the Mirror Garden.
"Hello, what are you doing here at Mirror Garden?" A middle-aged man who seemed to be a guard came up and asked Jiang Beiran.
"Hello, I am a disciple of Lanxintang. I am here to find the Dharma protector Yu Manwen. Could you please inform me."
"Dr. Yu?" After hearing this, the guard laughed first, then looked Jiang Beiran up and down several times before pointing to the side and saying, "Go and line up over there."
'queue?'
Jiang Beiran was stunned and looked in the direction pointed by the guard. He saw eight male disciples lined up neatly outside a pavilion.
"This...are they all here to see Protector Yu?" Jiang Beiran asked in confusion.
"Ha." The guard sneered, "They are all just like you, they were ordered here."
'The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!'
No wonder those male disciples are always willing to kill for beautiful junior sisters. This is all inherited! It simply stands out as a per capita old pervert.
Jiang Beiran slapped himself on the forehead and didn't bother to explain that he was different from those disciples. It was impossible for the guard to believe him anyway.
But Jiang Beiran laughed the next second. This was not exactly what he wanted. He would tell the hall master about the situation when he got back in the evening. You can't blame him for not being able to go in, right?
Jiang Beiran, who suddenly felt happy, was just thinking about where to go to kill time when he heard a clear voice that he really didn't want to hear at the moment.
"Bei Ran? Why are you here?"
'This world...is really full of malice toward me.'
Looking back, the man standing behind him was Yu Manwen, whom Jiang Beiran was looking for on this trip.
"I..." Jiang Beiran was just about to find an excuse to escape when he heard the guard replying in a flattering manner: "This disciple is here to see you, Protector Yu, and I was planning to send you a message."
"Your uncle..." Jiang Beiran really wanted to raise his middle finger to the guard.
"Looking for me?" Yu Manwen's tone was a little surprised, but he soon realized something and looked at Jiang Beiran and said: "I understand, just follow me."
'What did you understand again...'
Looking at Yu Manwen's loving expression, Jiang Beiran wanted to cry but just when he was about to speak, two options popped up.
[Option 1: "Dragon protector Yu, I'd better wait in line, the disciples over there seem to be coming to see you." Completion reward: White Crane Sitting on Two Springs (lower grade Xuan level)]
[Option 2: Follow Yu Manwen in. Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
'Damn, is the system denying my wisdom? Damn it!'
Choosing second, Jiang Beiran followed Yu Manwen into the Mirror Garden.
[Optional mission completed, reward: Strength +1]
Along with the system prompts, Jiang Beiran suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, which made people feel extremely comfortable.
‘Good stuff.’ Jiang Beiran’s eyes lit up and he began to look for the source of the fragrance.
