Only Then Did He Know

Yan Zixia was completely unaware that her words had offended Yue Qianchou. On the contrary, she was secretly pleased that the other party had omitted the words "Master Uncle" in his words. She smiled lightly and said, "I heard that the Qingguang Sect once imprisoned a Fox spirit who had cultivated for a thousand years. I heard that you wrote these two songs for that fox spirit, is that right?"

Yue Qianchou was taken aback at first, not expecting the question. Then he frowned. Baihu was not only his sister, but he genuinely considered her a sister. There were few people in this world he truly cared about, and the fox spirit Yan Zixia spoke of was one of them. It was quite unpleasant to hear someone constantly calling his sister a fox spirit, even though it was true.

He had already knelt down for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and with victory so close, he had to endure this unpleasantness. Suppressing the chill rising in his heart, he forced a smile and nodded, saying, "Uncle-Master is indeed amazing; he even knows about such trivial matters."

His words not only answered Yan Zixia's question, but also undoubtedly acknowledged his identity as a member of the Qingguang Sect.

Why are you calling me "Master Uncle" again? Yan Zixia frowned slightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your past. I believe you came to Fu Xian Island for no other reason. I'm just curious why you would compose a song for a fox spirit. Can you tell me why?"

Yue Qianchou chuckled and said, "It's just that she helped me out a little, and I didn't know how to repay her, so I wrote two songs for her. There's no other reason."

"Oh! Is that so!" Yan Zixia's eyes darted around as she stared at him and smiled, "Then wouldn't it count as helping you by having you refine the pills yourself?"

"I've done you a favor, my martial uncle. I will repay you handsomely in the future," Yue Qianchou said with a smile.

Yan Zixia bit her lip again and chuckled, "Is that so! I don't need your generous reward. I don't know what favor that fox spirit did for you that deserves two songs that will be sung throughout the world for her. I won't ask what favor it was. Now, if I help you this time, wouldn't it be worth it for you to write a song for me?" She then added, "Actually, the 'A Laugh in the Vast Sea' that you played and sang a while ago was quite good, but unfortunately, that song is not suitable for me, and it wasn't specially given to me. I only need one song that can rival one of those two."

Hmph! First, they told me not to worry, and now they're making demands on me. Isn't this blatantly threatening me? How about I give you a song called "Eighteen Touches"? I guarantee it'll be sung all over the world.

Once someone forms a bad impression of another, it's very difficult to change it. This applies to men as well as women, especially beautiful women. Yue Qianchou was a naturally suspicious person, and now that someone had caught him red-handed, he couldn't help but interpret everything the other person said in a roundabout way. The more he listened, the more he felt threatened. He couldn't see any tenderness in the other person's words; he was genuinely furious.

He gritted his teeth and said with a wry smile, "Uncle-Master, you really think too highly of me. Since you don't mind my lack of talent, I will definitely compose a song for you. But a good song can't be composed just like that. Could you let me owe you one for a while and give me some time to think it over?"

Yan Zixia pondered for a moment, and thought it made sense. No matter how talented a person is, they can't just open their mouth and sing a song that will be sung all over the world. If there were a song like "White Fox," that would sing about me like that fox spirit, then he should really think about it.

She probably never imagined that the songs that Yue Qianchou supposedly composed and sang throughout the world were all plagiarized, but who would know that?

"Then you can think about it carefully, and send it to me after you've finished making it!" Yan Zixia nodded and said.

"Thank you for your leniency, Uncle-Master. I will do my best to compose a good song for you." Yue Qianchou said this, but he didn't actually intend to do so at all. He planned to take it one day at a time and find a song to pass the time once he successfully completed the Foundation Establishment Pill Foundation Establishment.

"There's something else." Yan Zixia looked at Yue Qianchou with a hint of shyness in her eyes and said softly, "From now on, when it's just the two of us, you're not allowed to call me 'Shishu' anymore. When there are outsiders, you can do whatever you want."

No matter how gentle and beautiful she was, in someone's eyes, gentleness and beauty were invisible; she had become a beautiful skeleton that needed to be guarded against at all times. Yue Qianchou asked in confusion, "If I don't call you 'Master Uncle'? Then what should I call you?"

Yan Zixia said shyly, "Just call me Zixia."

"Is this not good?" Yue Qianchou glanced at him suspiciously.

"If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Anyway, when there's no one else around, you're not allowed to call me 'Master Uncle,' you can only call me by my name." Yan Zixia was annoyed that this blockhead was a bit clueless about romance, so she stomped her foot and said, "From now on, I'll call you Qianchou. If you don't agree, then I won't agree to your alchemy either."

The words were so obvious that Yue Qianchou, who was usually oblivious, could see through it. Could this girl have fallen for me? Thinking it was possible, he chuckled and said, "Zixia? As long as Martial Aunt likes it, then when no one's around, I'll call Martial Aunt Zixia."

Hearing him finally call her Zixia, Yan Zixia blushed instantly. She had never imagined that she would be the one pursuing a man before, but sometimes feelings are strange; she had inexplicably fallen for this unassuming man. Turning away, her face flushed, she said, "Qianchou, let's go!" and then fled as if running away.

Qianchou? Yue Qianchou was taken aback, feeling a bit of a toothache. He figured this was pretty much what he'd guessed. This girl might actually have fallen for him. But then he thought it didn't make sense. This wretched body of his didn't have the looks or the Ling Feng level to back it up. Could it be that she'd been conquered by his personal charm? The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. One stunningly beautiful woman like Qu Ping'er was one thing, but adding another equally stunning woman like Yan Zixia made him really need to examine his own charm.

He never imagined that these two beauties were bewitched by the song he plagiarized, both believing him to be a talented man! Besides beauties who love heroes, there are quite a few beauties who love talented men too!

To prove his guess, Yue Qianchou shouted, "Zixia, wait for me!"

Hearing the call, the beautiful woman walking quickly ahead trembled on her shoulders and slowed her pace. Yue Qianchou chuckled and followed, taking a shameless peek at her beauty before calling out with a laugh, "Zixia."

"Mmm!" Yan Zixia replied softly, her face flushed.

Yue Qianchou was secretly pleased, but one should always be wary of others! Remembering a suspicion he had long held, he smiled and said, "Zixia, I actually met you before I joined Fu Xian Island."

Yan Zixia looked up at him in surprise and said, "Ah! Really? Then I..." She wanted to say, "Then how come I have no recollection of it at all?"

Although he didn't say it aloud, Yue Qianchou could guess it and smiled nonchalantly, "That day in Hundred Flower Valley, when I took the Fu Xian Token to the Fu Xian Island shop to join Fu Xian Island, I saw Elder Qin seeing you off. There was also a young man accompanying you. I think I heard the shopkeeper address the young man and you as Young Palace Lord and Miss."

"Ah! You were there too? How could that be? I didn't see you." Yan Zixia blushed again after saying that, wondering what was wrong with her today, always speaking incoherently. She seemed to have seen outsiders in the shop, but she didn't even look at them properly. He could describe it so clearly, it must really be him. She never expected that the person who wouldn't even look at her properly that day would be chasing after her so eagerly today.

"Hey! You must have a bad memory! You wouldn't even look at a nobody like me," Yue Qianchou laughed.

"No, I was just busy at the time and didn't notice," Yan Zixia explained.

"I understand, I understand." Yue Qianchou smiled slyly, "But the shopkeeper called that young master 'Young Palace Lord' and you 'Miss.' I'm quite curious about your identity. You even know my hidden identity, so I wonder if I can find out yours?"

After a brief silence, Yan Zixia bit her lip and said, "The young man you mentioned is my brother, and the Palace Master of Hundred Flower Palace is my mother. The day I went to the shop to find Elder Qin was to discuss my joining Fu Xian Island."
