Chapter 34: The Moon Girl
Under a cool night sky in early autumn, Shangguan Baiyan strolled through the garden of his palace.
To say that the Star Dou Imperial City is really magnificent, a back garden can be built like a large park, about 300 hectares of area, and it takes an hour to stroll around.
This is Bai Yan's habit, every time he finishes reading a book, he will come here to hang out and soothe his body and mind. Suddenly, he faintly heard a beautiful string sound in the distance. So he followed the source of the sound and walked briskly.
As we approach, the melodies become clearer. This track, from the careful listening to the ear, and then slowly increase the intensity from the fingertips, taking away the silence of the surrounding atmosphere. Like the singing of a lark, it is vividly displayed. The sound of the piano is far away, the momentum is magnificent, the tide rises and falls, the fast and slow alternate, complement each other, it is really the more people listen to it, the more delightful they are.
Even if Bai Yan has studied the rhythm, he can't play such a beautiful melody at all!
When Shangguan Baiyan came to a small pool, he saw a woman. Under the light of the moon, the woman stroked the piano with her left hand and played a moving melody briskly with her right hand. What catches my eye is a picturesque scene, with the melodious sound of the piano, and in an instant, Bai Yan enters a state of obsession.
After a light melody ended, the girl also spotted Bai Yan not far away, and she got up with a smile to say hello to Bai Yan:
"Childe Hakuhiko"
Shangguan Baiyan's reputation is now very big, and no one in Star Dou City knows it, let alone the subordinates in Shangguan Gonggong.
Bai Yan came back to his senses, walked quickly to the girl, and said softly:
"The girl is really ingenious, the piano is like a soul in your hands, and the sound of the piano is tactful and continuous, which makes me fascinated by it!"
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, and said:
"Shangguan Gongzi, you have won the award, the little girl only knows a little bit of music, and today I didn't think that I would be ugly in front of my son."
On weekdays, Bai Yan was the eldest son of the City Lord of Star Dou City, and he had never seen any kind of scene, but at this time, he looked a little shy in front of a little girl.
"Dare to ask...... What do you call you, girl?"
"Everyone else in the palace calls me Yue'er, and you also call me Yue'er, Childe~"
This little girl named Yue'er saw the rumored best young generation, the eldest son of Bai Yan, and immediately lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, looking shy, very cute.
"Then, can I still listen to Miss Yue'er play here in the future?"
"If Childe doesn't dislike it, of course he can."
After Bai Yan heard this, he was overjoyed for a while. In the following time, he exchanged knowledge about music and rhythm with Yue'er Girl. Unexpectedly, this Yue'er girl actually had such a deep attainment in music and rhythm, and her talent was amazing, which made Bai Yan amazed.
In the following days, at nightfall, Shangguan Baiyan would come to the small pond to play the fuqin with the Yue'er girl and study the rhythm and strings.
Until one night 20 days later. At that time, it was raining heavily in the sky, and lightning was thundering. Even in this weather, Shangguan Baiyan planned to go to the small pond in the backyard to meet the Yue'er girl.
Bai Yan was already a Heavenly Thunder Archmage, and he walked through the torrential rain, and not even a drop of rain could enter him. Because after cultivating a mage, you can form a mage barrier to protect your body. This is several times stronger than the Great Monk's Transfiguration Elemental Armor.
When Bai Yan came to the familiar small pool, he didn't see Yue'er's figure. In fact, this is a very obvious thing, Yue'er is not a skilled archmage, how can she be like Bai Yan, walking in the rainstorm.
Bai Yan waited quietly by the pond for 3 hours, which was also the time to communicate with Yue'er on weekdays. Seeing that no one was coming, he returned to his house in despair.
Bai Yan tossed and turned all night, and the picture of himself and Yue'er playing kept coming to his mind. He has become accustomed to the life of playing with Yue'er every day, and even if he misses an appointment one day, he is a little upset. Could it be that I fell in love with this Yue'er girl?
On the second day, Shangguan Baiyan had no intention of practicing today, and sat idly by the small pond in the backyard from the morning until nightfall. The girl he had been looking forward to quietly came to the pond in the quiet night. After Bai Yan saw Yue'er, he was very happy and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Then, as usual, they played strings together and chatted together.
"Yue'er, why don't you come to live in my house in the future."
"Huh?"
Yue'er was obviously frightened by Bai Yan's sudden words, this was to invite herself to the mansion where he lived, although she looked very panicked, but she could also see the shyness and joy on Yue'er's face at this time.
"It's... Isn't that good?"
Yue'er replied softly.
"What's wrong, Yue'er, you have such a talent in piano skills, and you can be regarded as my tutor in music. In the future, you will live in my mansion, then we can exchange knowledge about music and rhythm every day, and if I have any questions, I can also ask you to help me solve them. ”
Bai Yanyi said in a righteous manner, in fact, he is more inclined to Yue'er himself than the study of music and rhythm, but if he wants to say this kind of thing, of course it is difficult to say.
Yue'er saw Bai Yan's serious look, and then nodded obediently, signaling that she agreed to Bai Yan's request.
"Really?"
Bai Yan was so excited that he almost forgot about himself for a while, hugged Yue'er beside him, and his heart became a sea of joy. Yue'er, who was hugged by a handful, suddenly turned red, but she didn't struggle in Bai Yan's arms, because she felt an unprecedented warmth.
Time flies, and another two years have passed. In the past two years, Shangguan Baiyan has been by Yue'er's side for the rest of the time, except for some practice on weekdays. The two are getting along for longer and longer, and the feelings are getting stronger and stronger.
Today, there is a large auction in Star Dou City, and many foreign tourists are here for this auction house. The scale of the auction house is unimaginable to people who have never seen it, and it is said that it will be held for a total of 10 days, and the whole process will be run by the Shangguan family, the people of the Star Dou City Lord. There are countless treasures inside, but the price is also terrifying.
"Hey, dude, you're coming to the auction house too?"
"Yes, if you want to say that there are a lot of good treasures in the Shangguan City Lord's house, the auctions are all good things that you can't see on weekdays. This time, I'm going to go and take a look. ”
"It's true, even if I don't have much money in my pocket, I have to go in and open my eyes."
"You don't have any money? Pull it down, do you know why there is so much congestion on this wide street? They are all here for this auction. It is said that the entrance ticket to the auction costs 2,000 gold. If you don't have any money, don't wander around here. ”
"Really, then I'm not playing."
The two people in Star Dou City were chatting, and if they wanted to say that the people in Star Dou City were not talking about this auction, which also showed that the Shangguan family had a great influence on the surrounding area when they held an auction.
Today is the first day of the auction, and Shangguan Baiyan came to the auction site with Yue'er. Once inside the auction room, they were on top of the front row of their internal seats. I saw that there was already a person sitting on the seat, and that person was Shangguan Glory.
Shangguan Rongrong saw that it was Bai Yan and Yue'er, so he sneered, turned his head, and ignored it again. Bai Yan didn't think so, because his younger brother was like this on weekdays. They sat down and waited for the auction to begin. During this period, Bai Yan and Yue'er whispered ambiguously from time to time, like a young couple.
In the past two years, it is no secret that Bai Yan and Yue'er have been together. The sweet daily life between them has long been rumored. Especially some rich ladies in the city, when they heard that Shangguan Baiyan, the son of the city king they had always admired, already had a beloved, they immediately exploded.
You must know that these luxurious ladies in Star Dou City only want to marry into the Shangguan family and enjoy happiness. Bai Yan, who was in the Shangguan family, not only looked handsome and dusty, but was also the youngest archmage in Xingdou! Now, how could they not envy Yue'er who was beside Bai Yan! It's a pity that they have a good look, but they can't even see Shangguan Baiyan's face, so what chance does they have to talk about? So they can only fantasize in their hearts. knew that they would sneak into the Shangguan City Mansion and be a little maid, maybe just like Yue'er, they would have the opportunity to meet Shangguan Baiyan and take down the male god in one fell swoop. Of course, these are just the private gossip of the girls. They are also the daughters of aristocratic families, how can they be willing to be a little maid, for them, it is not more uncomfortable than death.
