Chapter 417: Chapter 417: The Dashing and Elegant Li Feiyang

“Here is a statue of him, though somewhat weathered, it’s still recognizable. Would the young master like to take a look?” Li Xueyi asked.

“I’d like to see it!”

The two of them walked along the lake in front of them and he saw a statue on the shore.

To be precise, there were two.

A man and a woman. The woman was very beautiful, with the typical face of a Li Clan woman.

The man had an Eastern face, looking quite delicate and refined, dressed in a long gown, resembling a scholar. He gave him a certain sense of familiarity.

In an instant, Lin Xiaosu’s Human Tao Orchid Heart flipped through all the memories in his sea of consciousness.

Where did this feeling of familiarity come from?

From a person!

Shocking God!

Although Shocking God had mixed-race features, appearing more like a Westerner, he also carried some Eastern characteristics. At this moment, he appeared in his mind, connecting through the Human Tao Orchid Heart.

Suddenly, he felt that Shocking God and the founder of the Divine Temple, just in terms of appearance, really resembled a father and son.

“Did they… have any children?”

“Back when this elder left Li Shen Mountain, there were no children. Decades ago, I heard she had a son and he inherited the Vibrating Power of the Li Clan bloodline.”

“Vibrating Power?” Lin Xiaosu asked. “What kind of power is that?”

Li Xueyi extended her hand, and a bluestone by the lake flew into her hand. Suddenly, she stopped, “Jiao’er!”

“Miss!”

Jiao’er ran over hurriedly.

Li Xueyi elegantly handed her the stone, “Give the young master a demonstration of the Vibration Power.”

Jiao’er didn’t know how to speak, moved her hand, and the stone crumbled into powder, rubbing her hands with an embarrassed face.

Lin Xiaosu saw it clearly.

This particular skill was indeed Shocking God’s forte.

Crushing a stone certainly wasn’t much, but it wasn’t just crushing; it involved a special vibrational sensation that directly destroyed the internal structure of the stone.

He also saw another thing clearly.

And that was Li Xueyi still maintaining her elegant, refined, and delicate persona.

She was emphasizing to him that she was weak, she couldn’t crush the stone herself, and the little girl was wild and strong, she could…

This was, indeed, quite speechless.

They had dinner.

Let’s just consider it dinner.

There was long since no distinction between day and night here. In fact, there was no concept of day and night to differentiate.

But when Lin Xiaosu came, he had a meal; if that was considered lunch, then this would be dinner…

If further confirmation was needed, it would be Jiao’er’s words: “The long night’s lasting, miss, play a tune, the outside world is noisy, it’s more pleasant to play the qin in Qing Wan.”

So, Li Xueyi played another piece.

This piece was called “Clear Heart Calm Words.”

The music flowed like water, as if whispering through the night, and Lin Xiaosu listened with great indulgence.

Only in Qing Wan under the ground could one hear such a tune without dissonance, in a cool place, could there be Clear Heart Calm Words, couldn’t it? In a steamer, there’s no way to calm the mind.

But what he did not expect was that Jiao’er seemed quite mischievous; her desire to hear the miss play a piece was false, the true intention hidden behind her innocently naive face…

This little girl, after the miss finished the piece, magically took out a flute and handed it to Lin Xiaosu: “Young master, there are no flutes on the boat, but Qing Wan has one, crafted by the miss herself, for you to play a tune…”

“Do I really have to play it?” Lin Xiaosu glared at her.

“Hm, the miss has played two pieces, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for you not to play one?” The little girl glared back at him.

“Miss, isn’t this little girl of yours somewhat mischievous?” Lin Xiaosu looked at Li Xueyi.

Li Xueyi smiled without commenting.

Jiao’er shouted injustice, “I’m the most honest person in Qing Wan.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll play! Can’t I play a piece?”

Lin Xiaosu took the flute.

Flute, he played it when he was young, whether it was a willow flute, a bamboo flute, or using a leaf when herding cows in the mountains, he could blow on it easily.

Of course, back then, playing the flute was purely for fun.

After being possessed by Human Tao Orchid Heart, he learned things quickly. With the acquisition of True Qi, anything related to breath and airflow was quite effortless for him.

Playing the flute, for him, posed no pressure at all…

This flute was made of a kind of red jade stone, red jade like bamboo, delicate, hollow, crafted by a master, a masterpiece naturally formed.

Lin Xiaosu blew into it, sound waves burst forth.

Li Xueyi’s smiling expression suddenly froze, her small mouth unconsciously opened.

Jiao’er’s eyes widened instantly, staring at this familiar flute in surprise.

The flute sounded like a spring breeze, lifting the tender willow, presenting an incredibly wonderful world before them.

In this world, seas of people stretched endlessly.

In this world, lovers faced each other.

Every note seemed to be a greeting between lovers.

Every turn seemed to be a lingering glance between lovers.

Ridge after ridge, gaze after gaze.

Water dripping through stone, vows as strong as mountains and seas.

No lyrics, no words, just a piece of music so beautiful that it evoked all the emotions of young men and women…

The flute’s sound flowed through Qing Wan.

Seemingly flowing downstream.

Li Xueyi looked at this familiar flute in a daze, looked at this familiar garden, looked at the young man who had gradually become familiar over the past few days, listening to the melodious sounds never before heard in the underground world…

Finally, the flute went silent.

Li Xueyi’s enchanting eyes slowly opened, her eyelashes gently trembling, “The young master’s music truly is: This tune should only exist in heaven, how many times can it be heard on earth?”

This was a compliment Lin Xiaosu had given her.

She used it now as a return compliment.

It seems more fitting.

Because this place is underground, this tune is from the heavens…

“You’re too kind, miss.” Lin Xiaosu smiled gently.

“What is the name of this tune?”

“‘In the Wrong Place, Meeting the Right You’!”

“You… what did you say?” Li Xueyi’s cheeks suddenly turned red.

Lin Xiaosu was slightly startled and quickly explained: “That’s the name of this melody. It might sound a bit tacky, but it’s called ‘In the Wrong Place, Meeting the Right You’.”

Clap clap clap…

Applause came from the entrance of the courtyard.

Accompanied by a burst of hearty laughter: “Little sister, I said you are back at the Clan Mountain but not visiting mother. It turns out you are hiding a beauty in this golden house, listening to music behind closed doors. I must say, such wonderful music is worth breaking all clan rules!”

It was a youthful man who appeared quite charismatic.

His golden hair was loose, and the white clothes on his body were casually tied at the waist. As the wind blew, his hair floated, revealing a handsome and striking face.

“Third brother!” Li Xueyi stood up.

“Third young master!” Jiao’er stood up.

This third young master took a step forward and stood in front of Lin Xiaosu, his face beaming with a smile: “Is this the Young Master Su that the Ninth Elder mentioned, who saved my little sister?”

“I wouldn’t dare to say saved, just happened to bump into the miss, joining forces to fight an enemy,” Lin Xiaosu said.

“Brother!” The third young master extended his hand, gently patting Lin Xiaosu’s shoulder: “Thank you!”

Lin Xiaosu smiled: “I’ve heard the miss mention you!”

“Really? What did she say about me?” The third young master asked.

“Poetic and carefree, unrestrained and bold.”

“Poetic and carefree, unrestrained and bold…” The third young master laughed heartily: “Little sister, you’ve touched me a bit. I thought you would introduce your brother saying he’s lawless and impertinent, but to my surprise, to my real surprise, I turned out to be poetic and carefree, unrestrained and bold in your eyes. I’m so happy.”

Li Xueyi glared at him: “Even if I think that in my heart, I wouldn’t say it aloud.”

Haha…

Everyone laughed.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

The third young master pulled Lin Xiaosu to sit down: “Brother, is this tune from the outside world?”

“Yes!”

“‘In the Wrong Place, Meeting the Right You,’ such a tune has captivated my sister’s heart, and indeed it’s a world-renowned melody!” The third young master said, “Could you gift me a tune? Let me also savor the sensation of freedom?”

Li Xueyi’s toes itched, seeming very much wanting to stomp her brother down the Magma Lake.

However, she suddenly heard the latter half of her brother’s words and decided to cancel all such plans…

Is there another tune?

Lin Xiaosu smiled: “Alright, I’ll gift you one as well!”

As the tune started, it shifted from lingering tenderness to a spacious, bold and free style…

The flute sounded, and the third young master’s eyes brightened like stars, then slowly closed. His face was full of immersion, and his fingers lightly rested on the tea table.

With the flute silent, his eyes slowly opened: “What a noble and magnanimous tune, what is its name?”

“‘High Mountain and Flowing Water’!”

“Why ‘High Mountain and Flowing Water’?”

“It carries the meaning of ‘Finding a Kindred Spirit in High Mountain and Flowing Water’!”

The third young master slowly lifted his gaze: “You’ve come from the mortal world with its billions of people. Do you also feel the lament of finding a kindred spirit difficult?”

“Sometimes the more people there are, the harder it is to find a kindred spirit!”

The third young master let out a long breath: “People say I’m crazy, Chang Feng knows me well, people say I don’t know what I’m doing, but who understands the hundred flavors of life? Your tune and words, brother, resonate deeply within me; truly: we are alike as wandering souls…”

“Isn’t there already familiarity in our meeting?” Lin Xiaosu added!

“Haha, how wondrous these words are, let’s raise a great toast!” The third young master extended his hand and a huge wine jug appeared on the tea table.

Wine, Divine Mountain Strong Brew.

Men, solitary and exceptional.

Within moments, the two drank three large cups, the aroma of wine wafting, leaving Li Xueyi in a daze.

Her brother, though known as lawless and impertinent in the clan and not favored by the Elder Council, she knew well that her brother was proud and esteemed.

Few in the world have ever drunk the Divine Mountain Strong Brew that he personally brewed?

It should be known that brewing wine underground bears high difficulty, quite astonishing.

To the extent that every jar is incredibly precious.

Her brother loves wine more than life, he drinks his own brew, rarely using it for guests.

Not to mention those he disdains.

Yet today, without anyone requesting it, he voluntarily brought out his finest wine, drinking freely, his spirit soaring.

Is this the charm of Young Master Su?

No matter who, anyone approaching him would be captivated.

Including herself, and including her legendary brother.

After the wine was all gone, the third young master patted Lin Xiaosu’s shoulder: “Brother, I won’t disturb your rest today. Tomorrow, I’ll come by to drink with you again!”

“Good!”

The third young master left.

Lin Xiaosu stood up in the pavilion, following Jiao’er to rest in the East Courtyard.

Outside the window, there was a small lake.

In the lake, there was a very distinct dividing line.

That was the boundary of the array.

Inside the array, it was as cool as late spring.

Outside the array was like a steaming cage.

Previously, this dividing line wasn’t so obvious because the temperature difference inside and outside wasn’t so great, but now it has changed.

His entry into the Li Clan has already made some changes.

What else will come next?
