Chapter 37.1
So, under the coercion of Xie Wuyan’s abuse of power, Xu Ziyin recited his writings with emotion.
We only met the day before yesterday, and we already fell in love today.
Women are really hard to understand, it’s always a guessing game.
No matter the wind or rain, I will wait for your heart’s door to open.
If you also feel something, then let me in, wide open.
Shen Wanqing was very moved, and felt that if Xu Ziyin had transmigrated into My Fair Princess, just based on this poem, Xiao Yanzi would definitely be happy to become brothers with him and kickstart a lifelong friendship.
In particular, Xu Ziyin himself felt that it was very good, even twisting his principles to make the argument that he was just using the simplest words to express his truest feelings.
Shen Wanqing felt that what he said was right.
Then she closed the door.
Outside the door, Xu Ziyin’s very firm voice could be heard: “I see, I will definitely write the best poem to give you as a gift.”
Shen Wanqing wanted to run away overnight.
Turning her head, she found that Xie Wuyan was laughing happily, sitting on a chair with his forehead supported by his hand, his shoulders shaking slightly; he seemed to be in a rare happy mood.
But she was in a lot of pain.
She suspected that Xu Ziyin was not in love with her, but actually wanted to murder her by making her get extreme trauma from embarrassment, and eventually develop a cynical view about life.
Before she had time to be sad though, she heard the maid’s knock on the door.
She said, “The Governor is holding a banquet and invites all the immortals to come to the gathering.” Thus, Shen Wanqing, who was in grief, and Xie Wuyan, who was smiling very happily, both went to the front hall.
As soon as she entered, she found that Xu Ziyin was also there.
He seemed to have discovered that Jiang Shujun was a fan writer, so he patiently asked her about poetry and prose, taking out his poetry to ask for advice.
Then Jiang Shujun laughed and became the second Xie Wuyan.
Shen Wanqing suddenly understood Xie Wuyan’s emotion of wanting to strangle people all the time.
She calmed down and chose a seat far away from Xu Ziyin to sit down, only to discover that Cultivator He had also been invited.
He had obviously just been called from the Full Moon Tower, he reeked of alcohol all over and looked a little drunk. He was holding his head with a hand, looking drowsy.
Shen Wanqing had asked Jiang Shujun for information before, this Cultivator He had stayed in Rong City for a long time, and he did possess some skills. Over the years, he had often helped people catch demons, drive away ghosts and help people look at Fengshui. Plus, the price of his services were not high, most of the time a meal was sufficient.
So although he didn’t seem proper usually, always drinking till he was all over the place and visiting the Full Moon Tower to find a happy time, his reputation was actually pretty decent.
Moreover, this person was even a bit narcissistic. Not long ago, he published the “Cultivator He Biography” using his own expenses. Out of curiosity, Shen Wanqing bought a copy, but when she opened the first page, it read—
[After so many years, people’s evaluation of He Xiangsheng, a well-known figure, were all alike. He was often summed up simply by using only these two words: suave and virtuous.
This book is to tell the world, apart from these two tacky words, what kind of touching and good characteristics that Cultivator He possesses…]
Shen Wanqing fell into contemplation after reading this page, and finally understood why this biography was used by the bookstore owner as a foothold.
Feng Yaoqing: “Cultivator He, you have been in Rong City for a long time, can you tell us specifically what sort of people were those who were murdered at the Full Moon Tower?”
“How can I remember so many people? Besides, hasn’t the Dream Eating Demon already been eliminated? Then why are you mentioning this again?”
Cultivator He took a peanut, chewed it, raised his head and glanced at the two of them, “Or do the two immortals think that the matter of the Governor’s wife has something to do with the Full Moon Tower?”
Ji Feichen did not answer him directly, but asked respectfully: “Not really, just curious, I wonder if Cultivator He would be willing to resolve our doubts for us?”
Shen Wanqing could probably understand their thoughts.
Not to mention the coincidence of timing, although the Dream Eating Demon had been eliminated, they still had not discovered who the person was behind all this assisting it. What’s more, at the core, these two matters were both related to soul removal, so it was very easy for them to piece the two matters together.
“Sure, then I won’t ask any more.” Cultivator He put down his chopsticks, patted his stomach, and slumped on the chair, “But speaking of this Full Moon Tower, it does have something to do with the Governor.”
As he said that, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xu Ziyin beside him, and smiled: “Young Master Xu, don’t you think so?”
These words made all eyes focus upon Xu Ziyin.
Xu Ziyin was holding the piece of paper with his poetry, frowning and studying it carefully. After being suddenly stared at like this, he almost didn’t react in time.
He put down the paper in embarrassment, and said, “I remember that there does seem to be a relationship, but that was years ago.”
It turns out that the Full Moon Tower used to be under the Madame’s family.
But since the Governor had transferred over here, maybe considering that his reputation would not be good if his relationship with the Full Moon Tower was exposed, and considering that he wouldn’t make a lot of money, he decided to sell it to the current owner.
But those were all things that had happened more than ten years ago. If you thought about it carefully, it was not that deep of a relationship.
“Is that so…” Feng Yaoqing lowered her eyes, deep in thought.
Finally, when they had finally just about finished a whole topic of conversation, the Governor arrived late.
He shook his robe, sat down while shaking his sleeves, then raised his wine glass. He said a few words of gratitude, and then drank it: “Come on, everyone, don’t be restrained, pick up your chopsticks to eat.”
Then when he turned his head, he found his son holding a piece of paper, looking at it while deep in thought.
So the Governor asked, “What are you holding there?”
Xu Ziyin: “A poem I wrote.”
The Governor was stunned for a moment, then looked relieved: “My son can actually write poetry, read it so I can listen.”
Shen Wanqing squeezed the chopsticks tightly and almost broke them.
But the key point was that Xu Ziyin didn’t know all of this, and he might have even felt that he was proud to speak up for love, so he stood up, held the paper, and began to read—
In the obscenity of the Full Moon Tower, I saw her and she made my heart beat.
Even thousands of gold were not enough, when will I be able to capture her love?
His tone was eloquent, rich in emotion, and his voice was clear.
The surroundings fell into invariable silence: “…”
Several people who knew about their situation, such as Cultivator He and Jiang Shujun, couldn’t help but glance at Shen Wanqing.
Shen Wanqing wanted to kill someone.
She swore that if anyone came to deliberately tease her now, she would murder this person in bed that night to vent her anger.
So Xie Wuyan spoke, propping up his chin and laughing very impetuously: “Are you happy?”
“…”
Shen Wanqing, who bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong, decided to let him go.
The Governor probably didn’t know that his son’s education level was so low.
It was so low that he couldn’t bear it anymore.
So he took a deep breath in anger, raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head: “I’ll break your legs if you write poems again in the future.”
Jiang Shujun, who was sitting on the side, couldn’t hold back, and burst out laughing.
Xu Ziyin immediately gave her a resentful look and made a warning gesture of slicing his neck as a threat.
But before he finished slicing his neck, the Governor slapped him again: “Threatening a lady, what impropriety! Do you think your father is blind! Apologize!”
Xu Ziyin: “…I’m sorry.”
Jiang Shujun: “It’s alright, Young Master Xu should continue to work hard, you’re actually quite talented.”
Xu Ziyin: Why do I always feel like I’m being mocked?
Feng Yaoqing said a few words with a smile, then suddenly remembered something, and asked casually, “By the way, please excuse me for taking the liberty to ask, how did the Governor come to ask Brother Ji for help?”
“Ah, thank Cultivator He for this. If he hadn’t told us that there were a few immortals with profound cultivation bases in Rong City, we probably wouldn’t have known what to do.”
The Governor laughed and raised his glass: “Well, this toast is for Cultivator He. Thank you for helping out at my residence.”
Cultivator He immediately stood up and replied with a few jokes; the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The only thing that was not harmonious was Shen Wanqing.
She just wanted to assassinate Xu Ziyin before he wrote a new poem.
