Chapter 39: Fairy Miaomiao’s Music
On his way back to the estate, S*i Feizhe saw several disciples of the Sun Moon Brilliance Sect brawling with each other, shouting strange words like “Yeah,” “Quack,” “Ah,” and “Hee” while they fought.
D*mn it, these people are fighting, and they’re making such strange noises.
Aren’t they embarrassed?
With a belly full of questions, S*i Feizhe arrived at Fan Jianqiang’s room and knocked on the door.
Now there were only the two of them in the estate. After the Sun Moon Brilliance Sect descended into brawls, everyone else had left overnight.
“Come in!” Fan Jianqiang said.
S*i Feizhe entered the door and saw Fan Jianqiang lying on the bed, with his legs crossed, frowning as he looked at a copy of the 《Sun Moon Concentric Formula》.
Why?
Why does this cultivation technique increase one’s power so dramatically after practicing it?!
“What’s wrong? Didn’t Brother Fan always have no interest in the Concentric Formula? Why are you interested in reading it today? Do you want me to explain it to you again?” S*i Feizhe said. During this time, he had naturally explained the 《Sun Moon Concentric Formula》 to Fan Jianqiang!
“Could it be that you’ve had a recent epiphany and gained new insights?” Fan Jianqiang looked at S*i Feizhe with great interest.
“What new insights?” S*i Feizhe said discontentedly. “This is what Elder Hua taught us that day! How could a weakling like me have any new insights!”
“Ah, yes, yes, you’re right!” Fan Jianqiang rolled his eyes and said.
This guy is still playing dumb with him!
“Brother Fan! Something’s wrong with the Sun Moon Brilliance Sect!” S*i Feizhe voiced his doubts. “The Sun Moon Brilliance Sect has suddenly fallen into civil war. Why don’t we leave too!”
“Why leave!” Fan Jianqiang said. “There’s food and drink here, and it’s free. How great is that!”
“Hmm…” S*i Feizhe thought about it, and it seemed to make sense!
Just treat this place as a free inn!
“Alright! Anyway, I don’t have a place to stay in Qiuyang City!” S*i Feizhe nodded, feeling that Fan Jianqiang was more carefree.
“I’m going out to buy some medicinal herbs for a medicinal bath. Is there anything Brother Fan wants me to bring back?” S*i Feizhe asked again.
“Hmm…” Fan Jianqiang glanced at S*i Feizhe and said, “With your current physical condition, you can indeed use a medicinal bath.”
“It’s not safe in the city right now. Be careful when you go out!” Fan Jianqiang said casually, continuing to look at the 《Sun Moon Concentric Formula》 in his hand.
“I know! I know! It’s not like I haven’t heard the chanting and reciting in the middle of the night!” S*i Feizhe said as he left.
“Close the door!” Fan Jianqiang shouted after him as he left.
Closing the door, S*i Feizhe left the rather deserted estate. He had been practicing the Rewarding Good Fist for a while now, and he was no longer the weakling he was when he first started practicing.
His physical fitness had greatly improved, and he was ready to start practicing the Punishing Evil Leg. Before practicing the Punishing Evil Leg, he needed to prepare medicinal herbs for a bath, otherwise, he could easily injure himself.
S*i Feizhe walked on the main street of Qiuyang City. Strictly speaking, this was his first time strolling through Qiuyang City. As soon as he entered the city, he was pulled into the estate by the Sun Moon Brilliance Sect and made a reserve disciple.
For more than half a month, besides the courtyard near the estate, he hadn’t been to any other places in Qiuyang City.
The Sun Moon Brilliance Sect is probably a big trap!
Years of experience as a corporate drone led him to conclude that the Sun Moon Brilliance Sect was like a garbage company. The boss boasted endlessly, brainwashed people with lectures, but in reality, wages were always delayed for more than a month.
It was said that some sects in the Jianghu, after obtaining secret manuals, would secretly find people to try cultivating them to avoid problems for themselves.
Perhaps the 《Sun Moon Concentric Formula》 was the same!
But the 《Sun Moon Concentric Formula》 was so profound that only a martial arts genius like him could succeed in cultivating it. Even if he explained it to others, they wouldn’t understand.
Ah, the loneliness of a martial arts genius, who could understand!
It’s really difficult for the common people in this world to practice martial arts! If one is not careful, they might become someone else’s test subject!
✿✿✿
He just didn’t know why the Sun Moon Brilliance Sect suddenly went crazy and started brawling with each other? Judging from Fan Jianqiang’s words, if one’s talent for cultivation was insufficient and they forced themselves to practice the 《Sun Moon Concentric Formula》, they would go crazy like Leng Qingqiu and Leng Qianye!
It couldn’t be that the entire sect practiced the 《Sun Moon Concentric Formula》, and not a single person succeeded, but instead everyone went crazy?
That’s too ridiculous!
Are they all fools?
They weren’t S*i Feizhe, who needed to play dumb to protect himself in this dangerous Jianghu.
And Fan Jianqiang was too mysterious. He even had knowledge of the True Realm. He must be a hidden expert. He just didn’t know what his purpose was in hiding in Qiuyang City.
As for the chaos in Qiuyang City, it had been going on for over a month without a clear victor, making people nervous even to buy medicine!
While thinking about these messy things, S*i Feizhe suddenly heard the sound of a zither.
The zither’s melody lingered with a delicate and long-lasting resonance, sometimes resembling human speech, capable of dialogue; sometimes like the fluctuations of the human heart, ethereal and ever-changing.
The ethereal and elegant zither music seemed to make people forget their worries for a moment.
S*i Feizhe felt his mood lighten as he listened. Following the drifting zither music, he arrived outside a tall building with a courtyard, the sound emanating from the top of the building.
There happened to be a tea stall there, and S*i Feizhe sat down, ordering a p*t of inferior tea. The tea stall was packed with people, all listening to the zither. S*i Feizhe shared a table with a blind man dressed in a worn black robe that covered his eyes.
The zither music changed, flowing like a gentle stream, a babbling brook, a cascading waterfall, meandering and graceful, a rendition of the 《Flowing Water》 melody.
Just as S*i Feizhe wanted to hear more, he noticed everyone in the tea stall rushing towards the entrance of the building.
“Fairy Miaomiao, come out!”
“After listening to the zither for days, we finally get to see Fairy Miaomiao!”
It seemed the woman playing the zither was called Fairy Miaomiao. These were all curious onlookers, wanting to see if Fairy Miaomiao was as beautiful as a celestial maiden.
S*i Feizhe felt it was pointless and got up to continue buying medicine.
“Young man, aren’t you going to see what Fairy Miaomiao looks like?” the blind man sharing S*i Feizhe’s table suddenly spoke.
“Why don’t you go?” S*i Feizhe retorted.
“I’m blind, how can I see!” the blind man said matter-of-factly.
“…That makes sense!” S*i Feizhe suddenly found this blind man quite amusing. He sat back down at the tea table, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, “What’s the point of seeing her?”
“Rumor has it that Fairy Miaomiao is incredibly beautiful, a captivating beauty that could topple nations. She founded the Miaomiao Music Troupe and toured the Nine Provinces. Many people are smitten by her at first sight.” the blind man said.
“And then?” S*i Feizhe asked.
“And then, who knows, maybe Fairy Miaomiao will take a liking to you. It’s said that she also comes from a wealthy family with immeasurable riches. Young man, to embrace a beauty and live a life of wealth, isn’t that what everyone strives for?” the blind man continued his enticement.
“And then?” S*i Feizhe asked again.
“There’s no ‘and then.’ By then, you’ll be living a blissful life, what else is there?” the blind man said.
“Sigh!” S*i Feizhe shook his head and said, “It seems you’re also a lonely single dog!”
Guess who this blind man is?
