Reborn as the little tail of the cool master
Chapter 168 Musician
There is a reason why Xiao Jingxuan could say this so firmly.
After his junior uncle was kidnapped, he did not just wander around the three realms in such a leisurely and miserable manner.
In addition to practicing more diligently, he practiced the powerful ancient formations day and night, and practiced spiritual tactics with the Xuan Ji fan.
He also did other things, for example, finding out the true identity of Immortal Venerable Ningyou before he became a disciple of Biluo Yundian.
He spent a lot of effort to find out that Lord Ningyou's original name was Xue Yinghuai, and he was the eldest son of the family with a noble status.
Before the fall of Qianqiu Capital and the change of dynasties, the Xue family was the largest family besides the royal family.
And Lord Ningyou is the eldest son of a legitimate family. It goes without saying that his status is as noble as that of a prince.
Xiao Jingxuan began to have doubts in his heart: Why would such a person, who was living a life of luxury, had no worries about food and clothing, and had an official title to inherit, choose to take the path of cultivation?
He searched for a long time but still had no clue, and the capital of Qianqiu was later destroyed, and the people of the Xue family were scattered.
To find someone who knew the inside story back then is harder than climbing to the sky for Xiao Jingxuan, who is isolated and helpless and has no time to spare.
Fortunately, God was blessing him. When he was traveling east on the Jiangnan ferry, the boatman he met turned out to be the person who worked with Xue Fu.
According to him, the reason why the Xue family had such an honorable status in the capital of Qianqiu was because Xue Yinghuai's grandfather guarded the border for the entire life for the previous emperor.
The old man did not ask for fame or merit, he only hoped that the late emperor would protect his only son, so that he could grow up without worries and live a peaceful life.
The late emperor, mindful of the old general's pride and loyalty, married the princess to Xue Yinghuai's father.
Two years after their marriage, they gave birth to a son, Xue Yinghuai. It is said that he was born wrapped in a blanket.
It can be said to be an auspicious sign.
Xue's father and the princess treated each other with respect. Xue Yinghuai was smart and sensible, and the life of the family of three was relatively happy.
The turning point came when a down-and-out woman with plain looks found Xue's mansion. This woman was the one that Xue's father loved, but Xue's father deliberately refused to recognize her when they met.
He was not greedy for the current glory and peace. He had always advocated monogamy and opposed the habit of wealthy families having many wives and concubines.
He thought that since he married the princess, he should treat her wholeheartedly. But those who have been moved will always be moved by each other.
The princess saw it all but said nothing, and intentionally or unintentionally let them do it, even deliberately trying to get the two of them to be alone together.
The servants in the mansion privately speculated that the princess and Xue's father had already become estranged, and that they were in love with other people.
Xue Yinghuai didn't believe it and went to ask his mother in person, but the answer he got was affirmative.
He asked loudly: "Why?"
The princess replied, "What I want in my life is definitely not to be imprisoned behind high walls and spend my life doing nothing."
He asked again: "Since there is no love, and since it has been decided that we will separate sooner or later, why did you give birth to me?"
The princess said coldly: "Because of your majesty."
Xue Yinghuai eventually became a dispensable chess piece in the balancing and struggle for power, who could be discarded when useless.
He tried his best to repair his precarious family, but in the end it was all in vain and it was too late.
The princess divorced Xue's father, and Xue Yinghuai became a truly abandoned child, helpless and unable to enter the palace or return to the Xue Mansion.
He harbored resentment in his heart, so he changed his name to Kong Wu and wandered around in the human world for nearly a decade. It was only by chance that he was able to enter the top of the blue sky.
The memories slowly came to an end, and Xiao Jingxuan's gaze was fixed on this small, round clay sculpture from beginning to end.
"Uncle Junior Master, how many days have we been apart? The sun rises and the moon sets so quickly, and I am so stupid and numb that I can't remember."
"You must remember it clearly. Did you blame me for not finding you sooner?"
"I occasionally have random thoughts, and you must hate me in your heart. You hate that I am so useless and can't find you."
"Fortunately, God helps those who work hard. I have persisted in this world, and after struggling for so long, I finally got what I wanted."
Su Xingzhu, who was outside the formation barrier, was perhaps tired of cursing and was panting with his hands on his hips.
With a look as if he was looking at a fool and a bit of confusion, he frowned as he looked at the crazy grandmaster who was talking to himself.
I didn't know who he was talking to, the formation blocked out the sound, I could only see the mouth under the hat opening and closing, and a small clay figurine in his hands.
Su Xingzhu changed his mind and realized that this formation couldn't trap him, so why not take this opportunity to escape?
If I can succeed, I will tell Brother Ying Huai the truth. If I cannot succeed, I will have to fight him.
He did what he said. Like a stranded crab, he carefully moved sideways to the door of the dilapidated temple.
He turned around in ecstasy and bumped into something with a "bang". His head tilted back and his eyes rolled back.
"Huh? What happened? Wasn't the door open?" He fell to the ground without saying a word and then fainted.
The barrier that enveloped the entire ruined temple flashed with spiritual light the moment Xiao Jingxuan stood up, as if millions of soldiers responded to the emperor's call.
He said nothing, without even giving Su Xingzhu a glance. He walked around Su Xingzhu, straightened his back and walked out of the ruined temple.
Xiao Jingxuan looked at the azure sky of Southern Xinjiang, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This is the first time I feel that the weather here is really good."
Drunken Talk Tower.
In front of the door stood a graceful, stunningly beautiful girl, heavily covered in rouge and perfume.
"Sir, come in and play."
"Sir, remember to come again next time."
"Wow! This boy from the Central Plains is so handsome, with such good eyes and such a high nose..."
As soon as Xiao Jingxuan took half a step closer to Zuiyu Tower, he was surrounded by several girls.
The girls covered their faces and laughed, staring at him with curiosity and admiration.
"Wow, I really like his eyes, they are like big glowing gemstones."
The bold one came up to him with his chest puffed out and started touching him all over. Xiao Jingxuan dodged as if he had anticipated it.
The girl said to ease the embarrassment, "This mouth is also very good, it looks thin and smooth, it must feel very good."
"The Central Plains is indeed a land of beautiful mountains and rivers that are good for health. This man's skin is so smooth and moist."
The group of girls surrounded him, chattering and playing. Although they were very enthusiastic, they did not show any intention of inviting him in.
Xiao Jingxuan tried hard to suppress his impatience and asked with an indifferent look, "When can I enter this Zuiyu Tower?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the girls all sighed with regret on their faces.
"Sir, I'm sorry. It's not our intention to stop you. It's just that our superiors have ordered that people from the Central Plains are not allowed to enter."
There has been a long-standing grudge between Southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains for more than two hundred years. It is good to have such rules in some places.
However, it is a bit too strange that people are not allowed to enter Zuiyu Tower, which is a common entertainment place today.
Elder Yu Huai is meticulous and good at planning strategies. Xiao Jingxuan should have realized that it would not be that easy.
For ordinary people, this Zuiyu Tower is a place of paradise, but for him, it is the palace of Hell.
If he really wanted to go in today, a few girls alone would not be able to stop him at all. He would be able to turn Zuiyu Tower upside down.
But if we alert the enemy and let Xue Yinghuai and Yu Huai find out, they will tie up our junior master-master and run away, and all our efforts will be wasted.
Xiao Jingxuan looked up, the moonlight reflected his icy green eyes, which looked a little sharp. After a contemptuous smile, he turned and left.
After he turned the corner, he entered a secluded teahouse.
If you were to ask which places in the world have the best information, it would definitely be teahouses and restaurants.
"Sir, what would you like to drink?" The waiter was very enthusiastic and welcomed him in at the door.
"From the Central Plains? We have quite a bit of good tea here."
Drinking tea is secondary, the main purpose is to get information. Xiao Jingxuan said lightly: "Signature tea is fine."
"Okay! One cup of signature tea!"
The waiter turned around and was about to leave, but Xiao Jingxuan quickly stopped him, "Wait a moment, I'm new here, and I want to get some information from you."
"This..." The waiter looked at the many customers sitting in the store waiting for tea and hesitated.
Xiao Jingxuan understood and took out two ingots of silver. "Please do me a favor and answer my questions."
So what's the point of being convenient or inconvenient? Most businessmen are blinded by greed, and as long as they have money, anything can be done easily.
The waiter held the silver in his hands, his eyes sparkling, and he wanted to go up to him and give him a kiss. "Sir, please tell me, please tell me everything I know."
Xiao Jingxuan flicked her sleeves, and a layer of frost quickly covered her narrow and beautiful eyes.
"When did Zuiyulou on the street ahead open? Why haven't I seen it before?"
The waiter was blinded by money and had no time to defend himself, so he answered truthfully.
"If it was a few years ago, you naturally have never seen it. Zuiyulou is a rising star, and it has only been established in the past two years."
Xiao Jingxuan thought to himself, "It's just as I expected. They built a place with many people and eyes and good information, which makes it easy for them to hide and escape."
Seeing that he remained silent, "Sir, do you have anything else to ask?"
Those two people acted cautiously and probably never showed their faces. It is estimated that nothing can be obtained from these people.
Xiao Jingxuan shook his head, "No, sorry for disturbing you."
The waiter looked uneasy. He weighed the two silver ingots in his pocket, which were equivalent to half a month's income from running the teahouse, and felt a little guilty.
"Since you gave me so much money, I will tell you a little gossip."
"Prince Han Yunda of our Southern Border wants to marry a zither player from the Central Plains with a blood jade unicorn as a betrothal gift."
Xiao Jingxuan's face was full of indifference. It was irrelevant to him. He lowered his head and kept silent, just listening.
He has slightly lowered eyes, a high nose bridge, and very pale lips. Every line of his features seems gentle yet contains a sharp chill.
The waiter became more and more excited as he spoke, his saliva flying and his eyebrows dancing with joy, and he looked like a pervert who couldn't hide himself at all.
When someone is nagging beside you and doesn't care or show any interest in you, it's like a mosquito buzzing in your ear.
Xiao Jingxuan became annoyed. He raised his eyelids coldly and spoke sarcastically without any politeness.
"Seeing you so happy, I almost thought that the one who wanted to marry the zither player was not the prince of Southern Xinjiang, but you."
"Hey!" The guy was frightened by his words and reached out to cover his mouth, but was scared away by his cold and distant eyes.
"My lord, you can't say such things carelessly. Our prince is so obsessed with the zither player that he can't sleep at night. If he hears such rumors, he will be killed!"
"Yeah." Xiao Jingxuan raised his eyebrows indifferently and shrugged nonchalantly.
"Sir, you don't have to be so secretive and reserved. You came to Zuiyulou to inquire about this famous zither player, right?"
