Chapter 83: Listening to the Song for an Entire Day on the Flower Boat, Taking the Spring Quarter Examination (2)

Yun Rou glanced at An Le and felt that Young Master An was teasing the Sixth Mountain Lord.

“I came to the pleasure boat to be the courtesan. It’s also Teacher’s intention to comprehend the meaning of the mortal world. When I transcend the mortal world, it will be the time for me to break through.” Yun Rou said seriously.

“These days, I’ve been playing the zither every day in the flower boat and observing the various forms with my mental power. I’ve indeed gained something, but looking at the ugliness of people, their suffering, and their helplessness, perhaps this is the mortal world.”

“Teacher said that the meaning of the mortal world that everyone sees and comprehends is different. That’s why I need to experience it myself.” When An Le heard this, he fell into deep thought.

“Young Master An, Yun Rou has refined her heart in the mortal world and refined a piece of zither music. Today, please take a look.”

Yun Rou looked at An Le, who was deep in thought, and smiled.

He took off the charred-tailed zither on his back and placed it in front of him. He flicked his finger lightly. The zither music was long and drawn-out like a thin stream.

An Le’s heart suddenly calmed down.

Light waves overflowed on the lake, and he listened to the zither music in the boat to calm his mind.

Vaguely, An Le seemed to have heard many different scenes from the zither music. There was the helplessness of mortal women, the pain of suffering, and the helpless lamentation.

All kinds of emotions were like thin streams that lingered around his fingertips and fused into the zither music.

This was a magical use of mental power.

An Le closed his eyes, as if time had passed silently between the zither notes.

In the Sword Furnace in the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows, the sword qi had become much gentler. The hostility in his mental power and the flaws brought about by the rapid growth disappeared without a trace under the gentle caress of the zither music.

Yun Rou, who was playing the zither, was immediately shocked. She could feel the sword qi overflowing from An Le’s glabella, as if it was rising with her zither music.

Through high mountains and flowing water, it was too difficult to find a soulmate.

However, at this moment, An Le’s sword qi seemed to be floating and sinking with the sound of the zither.

A strange look appeared in Yun Rou’s eyes. An Le’s cultivation talent… was indeed very monstrous.

Listening to a song of the mortal world could give him obvious feedback. After the song ended, An Le’s mental power might increase a little.

Yun Rou’s face under the veil could not help but smile. She did not wake An Le up and continued to play the zither. Her slender and fair fingers plucked the zither strings. The big strings were as noisy as the rapid rain, and the small strings were plucked as if they were whispers.

The zither music was accompanied by the gentle ripples on the West Lake, blending with the spring scenery.

It was good for the flower boat to carry wine in West Lake. As the sound of music spread, jade cups were passed around. It was stable and peaceful like a drunkard in deep sleep.

On this day, An Le listened to music on the flower boat.

The setting sun shone on the West Lake, and the mountains and rivers were the same color as the sky.

An Le’s eyes were clear, the Sword Furnace between his brows was ringing, his mental power was slightly strengthened, his eyes were filled with joy as he thanked Fairy Yun Rou.

“Thank you for your help, Miss Yun Rou. You’ve improved my Spirit

Refinement.

An Le cupped his fists and bowed.

Yun Rou carried a charred-tailed zither on her back and wore a veil. Her gentle eyes curved into crescents, carrying a hint of a smile.

“Young Master An, you’re too polite. The zither music is just to help. You’re really a genius. No wonder Teacher thinks highly of Young Master An. When you rejected the title of Mountain Guardian, Teacher sighed for a long time.”

Yun Rou smiled and said, “It was also Teacher who told me to interact more with you and be tainted with the habits of a gentleman. Perhaps it will help me condense the mortal qi as soon as possible and allow me to break through.”

An Le smiled when he heard that. “After the Spring Quarter Examination ends, I’ll definitely visit Mountain Lord. If Miss Yun Rou needs my help, feel free to ask. I’ll definitely help.”

An Le was very sincere.

If Madam Hua lit a green lamp for An Le’s cultivation path, then Fairy Yun Rou was the guide for An Le to open the door to cultivation. It was precisely because of her Age Qi that An Le could complete the enlightenment of cultivation.

Although Yun Rou did not know about this kindness, An Le would not forget it.

After bidding farewell to Yun Rou, An Le returned to Imperial Ancestral Temple

Alley the same way he came. In his hand was the fine wine, Drunken Flowing Clouds, that he had brought back from the flower boat, as well as a bag of Eight Treasure Crispy Chicken wrapped in lotus leaves.

It was rumored that the Drunken Flowing Clouds was a fine wine in the palace and only the Drunken Dragon Pavilion sold it. The wine on Yun Rou’s flower boat was specially provided by the Drunken Dragon Pavilion, so it was also called the Drunken Flowing Clouds.

He boarded the flower boat for free, listened to music for free, and even took a pot of Drunken Flowing Clouds and an Eight Treasure Chicken for free…

An Le had really acted out his freeloading act to the extreme today.

When he passed by the Imperial Ancestral Temple, An Le greeted the neighbors and returned to the small courtyard. Just as he moved out the tables and chairs, the old man knocked on the bamboo cane and smelled the fragrance.

“Eh? The taste has changed today? It’s not the old yellow wine from Yanchun, and the braised beef has also been changed to Eight Treasure Chicken?” The old man was surprised, but he sat down familiarly.

An Le smiled and told him about boarding the flower boat in the middle of West Lake and listening to Fairy Yun Rou play the zither for the entire day.

The old man took a sip of Drunken Flowing Clouds and smacked his lips.

“Drunken Flowing Clouds? The wine is good, but it’s boring to drink too much.

Old yellow wine is still more refreshing.”

“Are you talking about the courtesan in the middle of West Lake? Everyone knows about the first Mountain Guardian of the Sixth Mountain Lord. Otherwise, with that girl’s looks, why do you think no one in Lin’an has touched her? Although her fourth-realm cultivation is not bad, she’s really nothing in Lin’an.”

An Le’s index finger moved when he heard this and he ate with the old man.

“That Mountain Guardian girl was chosen by Sixth Mountain Lord himself. In order to inherit his Mortal Sword Dao, he got the girl to run to the lake to be a courtesan. Although that girl’s cultivation level isn’t high now, she deliberately suppressed it. Once she comprehends the mortal qi, she will experience a leap in strength. She might even break through consecutively..”
