Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Said he was going to give up all the Qin Sect's music scores...

Lan Huaiqiu wrapped a bath towel around his wet hair, walked out of the bathroom steaming, and sat on the bed.

Doesn't that mean starting from scratch?

Lan Huaiqiu felt a little depressed. He twisted his wet hair and wrapped Qi around his fingertips. A whirlwind rose from the bottom, drying out the moisture on his body.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Puryue couldn't help but ask when she saw her frowning face and looking listless.

"Wow... I'm sorry." Lan Huaiqiu lowered his eyes. Feeling that his hair had dried, he dispersed the whirlwind and let it fall on his shoulders. "During this period of time, I can only share some basics with you..."

She had to discard all her musical styles and the music scores she had learned. Except for the three parts she created, all the music she had learned belonged to the Qin school.

"Hmm? This is totally irrelevant." Qiu Puryue was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I can't stabilize my breath right now. I'll talk about it when I have learned all the rhythms."

"......Yeah." Lan Huaiqiu smiled lightly.

"...Where did you get the clothes?" Yin Xihui looked at the green dress in Miao Kaijie's hand hesitantly, "What are you going to do?"

"This skirt is torn, sew it for her." Miao Kaijie threw the skirt on his bed, unbuttoned his pants with one hand, slid his pants down, walked into the bathroom lazily, turned on the shower, "You can still make money."

Yin Xihui: ...

"I can also sew any clothes for you. It's 10 copper coins each." Miao Kaijie added cheerfully.

Yin Xihui: "...Thank you, I won't need it."

"Oh, no need now, maybe later--"

"If my clothes are torn, I'll throw them away." Yin Xihui smiled.

"Eh? Then you are really extravagant, worthy of being a member of the royal family." Miao Kaijie took a shower and came out wrapped in a bath towel without covering his body at all.

"...When will you develop the habit of wearing a pair of shorts when you go in and put them on before coming out?" Yin Xihui had a few black lines on his forehead.

“Eh?” Miao Kaijie was stunned, then laughed, “Don’t worry too much, they are all boys, there is nothing wrong with seeing it…”

Yin Xihui closed his eyes helplessly. Miao Kaijie casually stretched out his hand, a silk thread shot out from his fingertips, pulled the bath towel in the closet into his hand, and wrapped it around his hips.

"Speaking of which...what exactly is your attribute?" Yin Xihui's eyes darkened slightly, and he looked at him with an unclear gaze.

"Me?" Miao Kaijie was stunned, a little puzzled, "Didn't you see it all? The line."

As he spoke, he clenched his thumbs and index fingers together, pressed them together and then pulled them apart, pulling out a thread as thin as a spider silk.

"It's just the most ordinary thread." Miao Kaijie laughed, "There are no elements attached to it, and there's nothing special about it... It's so ordinary that it's chilling."

"Then why were you able to stick to things like spider silk and be as sharp as a knife thread just now and before?" Yin Xihui asked him while sitting cross-legged.

"Hmm..." Miao Kaijie frowned and thought hard, "Why are you asking about this?"

"I'm curious. If you want to ask about my attributes, I can tell you." Yin Xihui said with a smile.

Miao Kaijie stared at him for a while with an unclear expression, then laughed: "I'm not that interested in these things of yours. It's fine if you want to know. This is not a secret..."

"This thread is sticky... Of course it's because it absorbed the crystal of a magic beast." Miao Kaijie thought of something and his smile turned a little cold. "You should know this too, right? I had a relationship with those noble families before. In order to let me go there, those people gave me a crystal of a mid-level magic beast as a reward. That was the magic crystal of the Purple Desert Wind Spider, and after absorbing it, I have acquired some of its abilities."

Miao Kaijie shrugged and said easily.

Yin Xihui smiled and said nothing.

Although Miao Kaijie said all this lightly, Yin Xihui knew that it was far from as easy as he said.

Miao Kaijie should have been talking about before entering the mountain. At that time, he was only 6 years old and his attributes had just awakened. For a newly awakened child, absorbing magic crystals was tantamount to suicide.

The newly awakened meridians are fragile and sensitive. Even absorbing the lowest level of spiritual herbs will make one feel that the body is about to burst. If one is not careful, one may really explode and die.

Even the gentle spiritual herbs are so dangerous, not to mention the magic crystals which are even wilder and more violent.

For him now, he has to be extremely cautious when absorbing a low-level magic crystal, for fear of a situation that goes against the properties, not to mention a mid-level magic beast.

In other words, if Miao Kaijie is really as he said, it is a miracle that he can survive until now.

"It was very uncomfortable, wasn't it? At that time."

Miao Kaijie paused, looked at him in surprise, and laughed: "How could it be? I heard that if you have the chance to touch such a rare spiritual treasure, you will be so happy that you can't wait to feel sad?"

Yin Xihui didn't answer and lowered his eyes.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Miao Kaijie put on his clothes, sat on the bed and began to fiddle with the skirt he brought back.

As expected... I'd better wash it.

Miao Kaijie thought secretly as he looked at the dust and blood stains on it.

He has sewed and washed his own clothes since he was young, and sewing a skirt is a piece of cake for him.

Miao Kaijie looked at the skirt, as if he saw the ten copper coins waving at him, and couldn't help laughing.

"……You're angry?"

Mo Hanyu sat on a chair beside the bed and looked at Qin Xiao carefully.

"Huh? No." Qin Xiao was stunned. He put the towel he had used to wipe his hair on the back of the chair and sat down on the bed. "Why do you ask?"

"...No, nothing." Mo Hanyu confirmed that he had no negative emotions before he felt relieved. He flew towards him and threw himself into his arms, but he dodged ruthlessly.

"What are you doing?" Qin Xiao glanced at the boy buried in the quilt with a little disdain.

"Why are you hiding?!" Mo Hanyu said dissatisfiedly. He stood up suddenly, opened his arms and was about to pounce on him.

"Enough is enough." Qin Xiao once again ruthlessly held his chin, preventing him from getting closer, "Do you know who Lan Huaiqiu is?"

There were only the two of them in the dormitory at this time, so there was no need to worry about being heard by a third person.

Mo Hanyu struggled in vain and could only give up helplessly: "Why are you asking about this? Is it because of what happened this afternoon?"

"You ask even though you know the answer." Qin Xiao saw him sit up straight, and slowly withdrew his hand. He noticed that the ends of his hair were not completely dry yet, so he wanted to pull off the towel, but Mo Hanyu took it away first.

Mo Hanyu looked at him with a smile, unfolded the towel, and stretched out his hand.

Qin Xiao gave him an unpleasant look, but did not object and accepted his wiping.

Mo Hanyu rubbed Qin Xiao's head through the towel and said with a smile: "She is the daughter of the leader of Qin Sect - I think you should know, after all, you asked me about that song before..."

"Can only people within the Qin Sect play the music?" Qin Xiao had seldom come into contact with sect-related matters. The only people he had any interaction with in his previous life were the two people who died in the end. Neither of them had a good relationship.

"Not really..." Actually, Qin Xiao's hair was already dry, but Mo Hanyu took a look and still opened his hands to massage the acupuncture points on his head to relax him. "A sect like this one that is related to musical instruments will appropriately share and circulate a few simple pieces of music. But to be honest, when competing or performing with others, as long as you are familiar with music, you can more or less hear the tune and score. It is not difficult to imitate. The most important thing is to have the heart to compose."

"The heart of a piece of music is like the heart of a person, it is the most important and profound part—"

"No." Qin Xiao suddenly said, "Isn't the brain also--"

"Don't worry about these details." Mo Hanyu interrupted him with a smile, his fingers dropped down, his thumb gently pressed on the back of his neck, and his four fingers fell on the crook of his neck, massaging slowly.

Qin Xiao's neck loosened, feeling a little numb from being pressed, and he frowned in discomfort.

Mo Hanyu didn't see his expression and continued, "The most important thing for music practitioners is the mind method. The mind method is what every music practitioner must learn when they first start practicing, and it is used to promote the cultivation of the mind. It is somewhat similar to the three elixirs of Qi practitioners."

"Lan Huaiqiu is practicing the unique mental method of Qin Zong. Everything she uses to play belongs to Qin Zong. Her mental method, her music style, and even her fingering habits are all from Qin Zong."

"She is the daughter of Lan Xinci, the leader of the Qin Sect. But it seems that due to a conflict, she had a big fight with her family and said she wanted to sever ties with them, so she followed Miao Kaijie here."

Mo Hanyu was also a little speechless when he talked about this: "He is really guilty of a serious crime... He just kidnapped someone's daughter like this."

"What contradiction?" Qin Xiao thought of the conversation between Lan Huaiqiu and her mother. He did not comment on Mo Hanyu's evaluation, but just asked.

"I don't know about that... I think it's not good to pry into other people's private affairs." Mo Hanyu touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly.

"Why didn't you have this bottom line when you looked at my memory before?" Qin Xiao said with some disgust.

"I... was young at the time and didn't know much." Mo Hanyu lowered his eyes, his smile a little forced, "Sorry, I won't do it again in the future."

Qin Xiao shook his head. Mo Hanyu didn't understand what he meant. The next second, Qin Xiao leaned back and lay directly in his arms.

"...Forget it, it's not a big deal." Qin Xiao raised his eyelids, his dark pupils reflected his somewhat dazed appearance, and he stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek, "You are still young now."

Qin Xiao's voice was very soft, and it sounded lightly beside his ear, like a feather gently scratching the earlobe, making him feel numb and itchy. His heart suddenly tightened, and an unknown emotion spread in his chest, and he even felt a faint blockage in his throat.

"...I think I have grown up." Mo Hanyu curled his lips and looked away, somewhat afraid to look at him.

He didn't know where his emotions came from, nor did he know what they represented, but for some reason he didn't dare let Qin Xiao know.

"After going through so much, if you don't improve, you're doomed."

Qin Xiao had no idea of ​​the turmoil in Mo Hanyu's heart and chuckled.

Mo Hanyu pursed his lips and gave him a complicated look.

Qin Xiao suddenly sat up and stretched: "If you don't know, then you don't know..." It has nothing to do with him anyway.

"You, if you want to know, I can also--"

"No need." Qin Xiao didn't look back. He stood up and walked towards the bathroom. "You just need to stick to your own way."

Mo Hanyu was stunned, looking at Qin Xiao's back with fluctuating eyes.

The next day, noon.

"Um... Sorry, Boss, I may need to take a break for a while."

There were only morning classes again. Tomorrow was the weekend, so there were no classes. Lan Huaiqiu ran away as soon as class was over. She was working part-time as a performer in a casino under an oasis two hundred miles away. She and her boss had agreed to come five times a month, one for a day and a half, with no rest in between. Three silver coins a month.

Because Lan Huaiqiu had been learning Qin Sect's repertoire in his previous life and was very proficient in it. Qin Sect rarely had disciples leaving, and even if there were, they would be quickly recruited by other sects. Therefore, it was rare to see someone proficient in Qin Sect's tunes in the world.

The boss was attracted by this point and hired this girl who seemed unreliable. Now, when he heard that she no longer played Qinzong music, he was naturally unhappy.

However, Lan Huaiqiu was determined and the two sides failed to reach an agreement, so they had to terminate it.

Lan Huaiqiu was not very happy when he received last month's salary. He sighed and felt depressed.

In fact, she was not without hesitation. After all, it takes a lot of courage to let go of everything that happened before, and compared to the families of Shen Youge and Qiu Puryue in the academy, hers can be said to be pretty good, but...

She just couldn't get over it.

Lan Huaiqiu heard about Shen Youge's story, and learned about Qiu Puyue's family situation through her conversation. Compared with these two people, she seemed to be complaining without any reason. She even thought for a while that this was not a big deal, so she might as well go back and admit her mistake.

But she quickly dismissed the idea, not wanting to make the same mistake again.

I had thought about it many times before coming out, and I had considered it carefully many times. I came out because I really couldn't stand it anymore. How could I easily doubt my past self?

She believed in the judgment she had made and did not allow herself to regret it.

In order to leave no way out for herself, she even said she would sever the relationship...

Lan Huaiqiu couldn't help but sigh, closed his eyes, and raised his head again.

It’s okay, we’ll find another way.

Think about it on the bright side, at least I have money now.

Although she had never been so shabby.

Think back to the beginning...

Lan Huaiqiu suddenly shook his head desperately, interrupting his own thoughts.

Don’t think about the past, look forward now!

The college provides food and accommodation, and tuition is free, so there is not much money to spend - except for herbs and pills, of course.

……

Lan Huaiqiu couldn't help but sigh again, walked forward with his head down, but bumped into someone.

"Sorry, I'm sorry..." Lan Huaiqiu was shocked and apologized quickly.

How strange...I didn't even feel it.

Lan Huaiqiu looked in astonishment at the man in front of her who slowly turned around and looked at her.

The man looked very strange, with his upper body naked, a strange blood-colored pattern running from his face to his chest, four huge wings on his back, and his limbs were long and thin, very scary.

They happened to be in the mountains at this time, three mountains away from the college. Lan Huaiqiu met the man's eyes and couldn't help but be shocked.

The man's eyes were bloodshot, staring at her.

"Yes... I'm sorry..." Queen Lan Huaiqiu Cang retreated, and thinking of the rumors about the Corpse Binder, her legs couldn't stop trembling, and she couldn't control the urge to escape.

"you……"

Under Lan Huaiqiu's horrified gaze, the man spoke.

"Sing me a song and I'll forgive you."

Lan Huaiqiu:……?
