The Elegant Dancing Years By Huo Li (火狸) | BL

Chapter 51 | Alien Star

In the mist-shrouded mountain, the merry chirruping of birds reverberated throughout the forest.

Through the dense entanglement of trees, wisps of sunlight fell on a youth clad in green-coloured robes. He was sitting on a stone bench with his black hair a bit messy, and a stringed zither rested in front of him. With his eyes squinting a little and a small smile on his lips, he leisurely fiddled with the zither strings.

From his fingers, a clear and pleasant melody constantly sounded in the forest, the music flowed all-round. If you look carefully, you would be surprised to find that in the surrounding clearing, beyond the foliage of trees and grass, the typically found birds species of the forest surrounded the entire scene quietly and obediently, which was very rare.

Tianyin conformed to his intention and brought together a sense of peace and quiet. The falling sunlight cast a layer of golden brilliance on the young man, his ink-coloured hair fastened by a light silver tie fluttered gently in the breeze. With the sunlight, it seemed as if the young man's figure would to rise with the wind and disperse with the light; unreal and ethereal.

Chu Yu stood behind the young man with a gratified smile on his face. In less than a year, Qi Mingyue had progressed this far. He had to admit that this talent was truly enviable.

As the song came to an end, Qi Mingyue stopped the movement of his hands, "What does Senior think?"

Unknowingly, he had been living on the Lofty Mountain for more than half a year. While practising Tianyin, the Lianxin gu had never attacked, instead, the concentration of Zuizhu had gradually weakened as the bead's unabsorbed power protected his heart. Though he was unable to utilize it for his own use and his skill hadn't progressed, Tianyin had progressed by leaps and bounds and now, he was able to control the music with his mind. Although he still couldn't control the human heart, birds - whether they were moving or still - were not a problem and he could make them act according to his will.

Chu Yu walked up to stand before him with a smug look, "Worthy of being taught by me. You should be able to fully master it soon and then you'll be able to draw out the Lianxin gu."

"Then how long is this soon you speak of?" Qi Mingyue couldn't help but ask when he thought of the content of those letters he received from Father Emperor from time to time delivered by Shadow One.

Chu Yu shook his head with a troubled expression, "You should not be anxious for success when it comes to Tianyin. If you only chase after success, you won't be able to make progress. It's better to go with the flow and let nature take its course."

In that case, he would have to write to Father tonight and tell him that his date of return was uncertain. He wondered whether he (QX) would be angry and then Chief Liu would have to clean up the mess for the miserable ministers. Qi Mingyue casually caressed the strings of the zither, there was no rush.

"Mingyue, Little Black is here again." A young and tender voice sounded and a child dressed in blue emerged from the path hidden behind the foliage.

He solemnly walked up to Qi Mingyue, took out a small piece of paper from his robe and handed it over, "From now on, I will hand over all the messages that Little Black brings for you. Xiao Yin is too stupid, I'm afraid he will lose it."

How was Xiao Yin stupid? Obviously, he did not want that child to be too close to him. Qi Mingyue accepted it with a smile and did not pierce his lie, "Lan is so thoughtful and considerate, thank you very much."

When the always calm and proper Lan heard these words, he couldn't help but blush and turn his head to the side awkwardly, only to see Chu Yu standing there, "Master, you are also here."
