Half-life immortal

Chapter 131 The "Celebration" in an empty alley

She happily saw Yue Qingwu, and Yue Qingwu was also delighted to see her.Under Xue Qinglan's guidance, the two chatted for a while before they got to the point and began to practice their dance skills. This night, except for Yue Qingwu's occasional pointers, Xue Qinglan practiced alone.

The furious Xue Qinglan was really extraordinary, she almost didn't even go to sleep, she didn't go back to the inn, she just stayed at Yue Qingwu's place to practice every day.It is rare for Yue Qingwu to meet such a diligent girl. There is no master who does not want her apprentice to be more diligent, and she is no exception. The more Xue Qinglan can learn, the more she will teach, and she will teach her everything. , without reservation.Xue Qinglan absorbed all kinds of knowledge taught by Yue Qingwu endlessly like a sponge, and her progress was so fast that even she herself was extremely surprised.

Yue Qingwu is a dancer, but she is not an ordinary dancer. She is a very special immortal cultivator, and her research on dancing skills is far beyond that of the people in the world.Although she does not practice swordsmanship, she has her own unique views on the fusion of dancing skills and swordsmanship.As she got to know her talent more and more, Xue Qinglan felt more and more that she had really found a treasure. Who else in the world could be as suitable as her master?
Feeling that she has earned a lot of money, Xue Qinglan is studying harder and harder. She is already smart and talented. She had some foundation in Taiqing Mountain at the time. Learning is more effective with half the effort, and time slips from her fingertips unconsciously in the busy practice elapsed.

Three months later...

It has been a continuous drizzle for seven consecutive days. The climate in Jiangdu is already humid, but now it is the rainy season, and it is almost rare to see sunny days in the past few days.However, I don’t think there is anything wrong with such a rainy day for a long time, but the wooden doors and windows are more prone to mold, so they need to be taken care of.

Of course, these trivial matters have nothing to do with Feng Yutian who is devoted to cultivating in the room.As a cultivator who has cultivated since childhood, the boring cultivation life is nothing to him, rather, such days should be the norm, and his master always taught him to endure loneliness in cultivation.

The peaceful life made his originally agitated heart settle down, and the girl who had tugged at his nerves hadn't appeared in front of him again for three months. If he was a little uncomfortable at first, now he feels do not have much left.

Speaking of which, the reason why he needs her by his side is mostly because of his fierceness.But since he accidentally got the Cangming Throne in the Yin Ruins, the fierceness in his body has calmed down a lot. Even on the night of the new moon, he is not so uncomfortable. Neither can see the sun.

Perhaps it was because of the rare quietness of the ferocity, this period of practice seemed more and more peaceful and pleasant, so peaceful that he occasionally felt as if he had forgotten something.

On this day, the weather was rarely cleared, and the air was still filled with thick water vapor. A unique smell of plum rain in Jiangdu floated in the air, accompanied by the noisy noise from the street.

"today……?"

The noise on the street woke him up, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, because the inn they chose was relatively remote, and it was a quiet place, and he hadn't heard such a chaotic sound in the room for three consecutive months , It didn't seem like an accident happened, but it was as lively as a festival, which made him very puzzled. Why are people so excited when it's obviously not the time to observe the new year?Even in this remote corner of the city, the sound of celebration can be heard, which shows that there is a large-scale celebration taking place.

He hesitated for a moment. Originally, he didn't like the excitement of the noise, but he probably stayed in the inn for a long time. He also wanted to go out for a stroll when the weather was fine, and he was very concerned about the noise The reason is also somewhat curious.

He walked out of the room, walked out of the inn, and came to the street. He saw people coming and going on the street, greeting each other, and walked towards the center of the city beaming.From their few words of conversation, it can be deduced that there is indeed a celebration going on.

He didn't have a clear destination, so he mixed into the crowd and walked towards the center of the city. Occasionally, he could see soldiers in armor and holding spears on the street, but many of these soldiers were also from Jiangdu. Some people affected by the public atmosphere seem to be eager to try but dare not leave their posts without authorization, and they seem extremely entangled.

Feng Yutian didn't have too many scruples, he followed the crowd without hesitation, and gradually discovered that the target of the crowd turned out to be the largest theater building in Jiangdu City - Baijiang Tower.

"Hey, have you heard? The disciple of Miss Yue, the 'No. [-] Dancer in the World', will officially perform dances on the stage in Jiangdu City today! Oh, oh, this is an important day, you can't miss it!"

"Miss Yue's master apprentice? Isn't it Miss Yue herself? I have heard that Miss Yue has come to Jiangdu, and I have been looking forward to seeing Miss Yue's demeanor with my own eyes..."

"That's true. It's really regrettable not to be able to see the performance of the world's number one dancer, but I heard that this apprentice is the only successor of Miss Yue so far. I think she is also very handsome. I can't see Miss Yue herself, but I can see her. The apprentice's first song and dance is not bad."

"That's right, maybe she will become the next generation of peerless dancers after Miss Yue! Maybe our Jiangdu will become famous in the singing and dancing circles in the future, haha, go and see, it won't be long, don't miss it Already!"

More and more people gathered around, and more and more voices poured into Feng Yutian's ears, making him gradually unable to distinguish the content of the words.But when he got here, he finally understood that the reason why Jiangducheng was buzzing today was because Yue Qingwu's apprentice was going to make his debut and perform on stage.And speaking of Yue Qingwu's apprentice, isn't that——

The girl's face and her night dance in the suburbs of Jiangdu appeared in his mind.Although there was no melodious music and no gorgeous stage in that dance, the smart and delicate dance was still lingering in his mind.

So, did she finally learn something?I don't know if she's been doing well these past few months...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stop, remembering what she said to him categorically on the stone bridge, and he also decided to draw a line with this girl. It has been three months, and he has been restrained perfectly.In order not to let this restraint go to waste, shouldn't he also go to see her dance today?

However, there was an irresistible impulse in his heart, wanting to see how she was doing now, whether she was tired or haggard... The power of this impulse far surpassed the so-called rationality, making his steps After only staying for a moment, he moved forward again.

He thought to himself, if he just watched secretly in the crowd, she probably wouldn't notice.He just sneaked a look at her to see if she was okay, no one knew, and after he finished watching, he would keep his distance from her again and would not embarrass her again.There are quite a lot of people who came to watch today, roughly counting, at least a few thousand people, if you add the crowds that are still pouring in, it is inevitable that thousands of people will come to the alley.And among so many people, it is impossible for her on the stage to observe everyone below the stage.

After figuring this out, he was determined, and continued to follow the crowd towards the Baijiang Tower, and even carefully restrained his breath as if facing an enemy, so as not to let her accidentally notice it.After all, she is too familiar with his breath, and her own perception is very strong, if she really wants to watch secretly, it is necessary to restrain her breath.

Not only did he restrain his breath, but he also deliberately chose a very remote corner in Baijianglou Square, which was relatively dark and would not attract the attention of others.

Is it an exaggeration to be so cautious?He didn't think about this kind of question, all his thoughts were on the trivial matter of when the girl would show up.Even the always cautious he didn't realize that Yulian who lived in the same inn with him quietly followed him to the Baijiang Tower, and was standing in a corner that was more inconspicuous than his side, silently observing him.

As long as he practiced in the inn, Yulian also practiced in the inn for a long time, but as soon as he made any movement, Yulian immediately stopped practicing and silently followed him in a way that was hard for him to detect.After Yi Ting's betrayal and Xue Qinglan's departure, Yulian once thought that her chance had come, which was indeed the case objectively, so she kept looking for opportunities to get in touch with Feng Yutian further.But unfortunately, Feng Yutian seemed to focus on cultivation, and had no interest in other things at all. She almost didn't even find a chance to talk to him, let alone go further.

She didn't give up, she was a very qualified immortal cultivator in terms of character: firm and persistent.This kind of persistence is also manifested in feelings, so the moment Feng Yutian stepped out of the room, she had already quietly followed behind him.

At the same time, Xu Shili was also in the crowded square of Baijiang Tower.

He didn't come here by chance like Feng Yutian when he heard the commotion, but he already knew about Xue Qinglan's dance performance today.In fact, although he has been busy with his own affairs in the past three months, he often went to Yue Qingwu's residence to visit Xue Qinglan. He learned about today's events from Yue Qingwu and Wen Liu, and today is so grand. The scene also has his share of the credit.First of all, the cost of renting out the venue is quite a lot. The main reason why Xue Qinglan can enjoy Baijiang Tower exclusively is because of Yue Qingwu's reputation and Xu Shili's financial and strength support.Secondly, he also hoped to be there in person to silently cheer for Xue Qinglan, that's why he appeared here.

Based on his special status, the owner of Baijiang Building certainly arranged the best private room for him to watch, but he felt that if he watched it there, it would make people feel superior, which might make Xue Qinglan unhappy.After knowing each other for so long, he understood Xue Qinglan's temperament, and knew what she liked and hated.Speaking of which, Xue Qinglan is not a picky person, on the contrary, she is very easy to get along with, as long as you give her enough respect and freedom.

Therefore, for different reasons, he and Feng Yutian chose to mix in the crowd and watch silently, but their positions were very far apart, separated by so many people, it was impossible to notice each other.

Xu Shili thinks well, but things often don't develop according to his imagination.When he scanned the crowd, he accidentally saw an unexpected person.

That man was a middle-aged scholar, not tall but with a faint aura of disdain for everything, even if he was dressed in civilian clothes and mixed in the crowd, he still looked different, at least for people with good eyesight.And behind him were two smart and capable men, who seemed to be guards, protecting the middle-aged scholar's surroundings and preventing the surrounding people from getting too close to him.

Others may not recognize who this middle-aged scholar is, but Xu Shili recognized it immediately.I saw that his original smile quickly disappeared, his brows gradually wrinkled, his expression suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy, and his good mood was completely destroyed.

He really wanted to turn around and leave like this, but he knew he couldn't, so no matter how unwilling he was, in order to make this dance performance go smoothly, he still walked over bravely.

The guard protecting the middle-aged scholar recognized him, and when he saw that it was him coming, he took the initiative to leave a way for him without blocking him.

Xu Shili looked at that person, forced his frown to loosen, lowered his head slightly, and said respectfully, "Why are you here?"

The middle-aged scholar with an extraordinary temperament didn't or didn't bother to look at him directly. He still looked around firmly and said, "Why can't Gu come to Jiangdu Grand Ceremony?"

His voice was not loud, and there was a lot of voices around him, so no one noticed the scholar's claim.But if anyone can notice, they will be surprised from ear to ear, because this middle-aged scholar who appeared at the gate of Baijiang Tower is His Majesty the Emperor of Da Luo today!

In the hearts of the common people, the most awe-inspiring person is definitely not the so-called immortals flying into the sky, but their Emperor Da Luo!The name of the emperor is not important anymore, because there is only one emperor in Daluo, and the emperor is him.His authority is so great that people only think of this person when they mention the emperor, and don't think twice.Naturally, there is no need, and at the same time, it is not allowed to call the emperor in another way.

Xu Shili lowered his head and did not look at the emperor.Although the man in front of him is his father, he can't treat this man as an ordinary father, he can only call this man "Father Emperor". The difference between "Father" and "Father Emperor" is only one word, but the meanings are too far apart.

Today, he really did not expect that the emperor would appear in Baijiang Tower.After all, no matter how famous Baijianglou is, no matter how much the people of Jiangdu support the dancers, they are just singing and dancing entertainment to please people. In this turbulent autumn, His Majesty the Emperor has a lot of things to do, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to be so leisurely Appeared in Baijiang Tower.

In fact, His Majesty the Emperor really appeared here, which made Xu Shili puzzled by his astonishment, wondering what the Emperor's purpose in coming here today is.If it was said that he came simply to appreciate the singing and dancing, Xu Shili would not believe it even if he was beaten to death. He must have some other purpose.

The emperor is naturally different from ordinary people and should not be treated lightly. Xu Shili himself doesn't care, he won't be uncomfortable in the crowd watching, but it would be too disrespectful for His Majesty to stand and watch the song and dance together.Xu Shili had no choice but to ask the emperor to go up to the first seat to watch, and there was barely enough to be an emperor. As a prince, he couldn't even understand this.

The emperor didn't refuse either, he hummed and went up to the second floor first.Ordinary people can only stand and watch the singing and dancing in Baijiang Tower, and only dignitaries can enjoy the private room treatment on the second floor, while the private room left by the owner of Baijiang Tower for Xu Shili is on the highest third floor, which is different from ordinary people. High-ranking officials and dignitaries have to be isolated. Obviously, it is impossible for ordinary rich children to be compared with him.

But the owner of the Baijiang Building certainly did not expect that Xu Shili was not the one with the highest status among the viewers today, so the highest and most luxurious seat was not taken by Xu Shili.

At the same time, in a corner of the second floor of the Baijiang Building, a man and a woman were standing and looking at the empty stage.If Xue Qinglan was present, she would definitely recognize her. This is her senior sister Shen Jiarou and second senior brother Situ Xiu.

After three months, Shen Jiarou and Situ Xiu have not changed much, Shen Jiarou is still so enchanting and charming, while Situ Xiu is still acting like a fool, and the reason why they appear here today is naturally to give them Junior sister came to join us.For immortal cultivators like them, mortal pastimes such as singing and dancing are difficult to arouse their interest, but it also depends on who dances.If today's protagonist is their little junior sister, then no matter what kind of things they have on hand, they must take the time to come and have a look.

Shen Jiarou was lazily leaning against the railing, tapping her fingers on the wooden railing. Not only did the noisy voices below not arouse her disgust, but it made her even more delighted. Even looking at Situ Xiu was much more pleasing to her eyes, and said: "Xiao Xiuzi, it seems that we Your little junior sister is very popular, maybe she will become famous in one dance, is your congratulatory gift ready?"

Situ Xiu immediately turned into a bitter face, and said: "Senior sister, didn't you say that regardless of whether the little junior sister's dance is successful or not, the things will be sent out? How dare I not be ready..."

He was wronged like a little grieving woman, but under the power of Senior Sister Shen Jiarou, he could only smash his teeth and swallow any unreasonable demands, it was hard to say.For example, this time, Shen Jiarou directly ordered him to prepare two gifts in the name of senior sister. Obviously, one of them was given by him, and the other was given on behalf of Shen Jiarou.It doesn't matter what he sends in his own name, but he must not disrespect the elder sister, and he will still bleed a lot in the end.

Shen Jiarou stared, and said: "Are you still unwilling? Qing'er is also your junior sister, shouldn't you show it? And I am your senior sister, it is your blessing to serve your senior sister, understand?"

"Alas..." Situ Xiu let out a long sigh, exhaling all the breath in his chest, but he couldn't relieve the grievance in his heart.But what else could he say?
