Only I Can Save the World Tree

Mr. An'an's image as a gentleman is about to collapse completely.

Yu Shang's image of her Husband a great man was pretty much formed... No, wait, her Husband never really had much of a great image to begin with. How did she end up like that? What was with those two women at the wedding? That seems to be the opposite of being great and righteous...

Why do I now feel that my Husband is very tall and upright? Yu Shang fell into deep thought.

Qin Yi, oblivious to his completely ruined image, continued to say to Ju Yunxiu, "Okay, I admit I came to the Great Wilderness mainly to visit Jianmu, but ever since I arrived, I haven't stopped thinking about seeing my Senior Sister... The first thing I thought about when I arrived was where my Senior Sister was going, and every day in the sea I thought it was such a pity that my Senior Sister wasn't here... Even when I first came to participate in the concert, I was still thinking about how to use this leaf for Qing Cha... I never came to the Great Wilderness to seek the Dao, Senior Sister."

Hmm... this time it's really realistic.

Especially Yu Shang and An'an, they can completely prove this point. He really does say things like, "If only my senior Senior Sister were here," and even said that without Senior Sister, holding ten thousand more concerts at Qiu Niu would be pointless. He genuinely misses his Senior Sister; these aren't just empty words of affection.

At the time, no one suspected that the Senior Sister he mentioned was in this relationship... They just thought he was being respectful to his teacher and missing his mentor and friend...

Ju Yunxiu could even guess that his visit to Jianmu was likely related to the Little Ghost in that club. That was Qin Yi's deepest secret, his most dependent dao companion, and possibly the root of Qin Yi's path in this life, or even the reason for most of Qin Yi's actions... She wouldn't be jealous of that, she couldn't bring herself to be.

Apart from this ambiguous statement, she believed everything else.

This little thief does have a shred of conscience.

She finally calmed down, and the displeasure she felt from seeing Qin Yi and An'an playing a duet gradually subsided.

That's right, her displeasure stemmed solely from this. It had nothing to do with Yu Shang, nor with the so-called "decline in flute skills."

Instead, Qin Yi actually played a duet with a woman other than her... This was originally hers alone... Not only that, he also used the techniques she taught him to woo other girls.

This is intolerable!

Qin Yi never intended to take An'an as his disciple from the beginning, nor did he use the skills he taught him to woo others. He simply taught him basic musical scores in order to get in touch with Qiu Niu. He didn't teach him the core content of the Zither Sect at all... This attitude is very reassuring. Regardless of his ultimate purpose, it must be said that he is very good at dealing with people and has a clear understanding of things.

Once the initial anger subsided, a barrage of sweet words was used to finally silence her anger.

Seeing Ju Yunxiu's completely softened expression, Gouzi started taking notes.

To become a Peach Blossom Spirit, you need talent. Otherwise, you'll be getting a machete instead of ants.

Qin Yi grabbed it. "Why are you memorizing this thing? Aren't you asexual?"

The dog shook its head and said, "There are three thousand great paths, and one can understand them by analogy. The stones from other mountains can be used to polish one's own jade..."

Ju Yunxiu asked curiously, "Who is this cute girl with the Black Fur Ball bow? I've never seen her before."

The dog ripped off its bow and cried out indignantly, "I don't have a name that long! My name is Dog... uh, no..."

Ju Yunxiu: "?"

Qing Cha ran in from outside, looking very sad. "Master, Master, I can't find any ants here."

Qin Yi pinched her face and pulled it to both sides, scaring her, "Your master just said that if you can't find ants to put under your knees, you'll use tea leaves."

Qing Cha burst into tears.

Yu Shang: "..."

An'an: "... Wait a minute, is she tea leaves?"

"Yes."

"What was the tea I just drank?"

Qing Cha sniffed. "It's just a slice of lemon in a cup, water poured in, and I just stir it. It's delicious."

As he spoke, he reached up and wiped his nose.

An'an burst out laughing, covered her mouth, and ran out.

The dog dropped its pen, filled with grief and indignation. This dignified glutton, who spent his days freeloading, had actually been brought down here!

Qing Cha chased after An'an, shouting, "Elder Sister Bang, I don't have snot..."

Qin Yi asked Ju Yunxiu blankly, "Now you can just stir the Qing Cha with your hand? Before, you had to use a whole teapot..."

Ju Yunxiu smiled slightly, "Since you've come here to consider the matter of the Jianmu leaves, I've been living here for two or three months now. How could I not have taken action? The Qing Cha bloodline has already been changed."

"Then why is she still so young?"

"Even with a different bloodline, one still needs to grow."

Qin Yi thought of Ye Ling. One year old?

"Then... how long is Qing Cha's lifespan now?"

"If we don't improve, she might outlive us. Remember, this is the Jianmu tree."

"And what about her spiritual practice?"

"I don't know," Ju Yunxiu sighed. "Because I feel like she's not very bright..."

Qin Yi was deeply moved. "Good thing, good thing, that's the cutest thing about having a brain like that."

Ju Yunxiu chuckled, "Your sense of humor is truly unique."

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes glanced at Yu Shang, as if to say, "Why do you like someone so simple-minded?"

Yu Shang Chang raised an eyebrow, seemingly wanting to start a fight, but she held back. Qin Yi saw that she really resembled a wronged little wife; how did this turn into a mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship?

In fact, there is a ready-made bond that unites the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.

Qin Yi listened to the outside of the main hall; the music was still playing, the concert was not yet over. He lowered his voice and asked, "Why is Senior Sister here?"

Ju Yunxiu gracefully gestured for Qin Yi pulled Yu Shang to sit down. Ju Yunxiu then brewed tea with her delicate hands; this time it was real tea...

Watching the steam rise from the tea, Ju Yunxiu slowly said, "For the sake of this Qing Cha, I naturally headed towards Jianmu as soon as possible. Of course, I didn't have your good luck to encounter any beauties... I've been circling in the sea for several months and have become quite familiar with the various Sea Clan outside the forbidden area, but I still can't enter the forbidden area."

Qin Yi thought of those bald fishmen outside. Were those fishmen allowed into the forbidden area, or were they afraid to bring outsiders in?

Ju Yunxiu continued, "I was brought in by Qiu Niu himself. It was simply that I was playing the zither at sea one day, and he heard me. He was overjoyed, and we began to discuss the art of the zither together, becoming close friends."

Qin Yi's lips twitched, a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

"So, now you know how I felt when I saw you playing a duet with another woman?"

"I know..." Qin Yi said, head drooping. He was genuinely jealous.

Ju Yunxiu shook her head. "Others don't have such idle thoughts as you. Qiu Niu is completely devoted to music, and in some aspects, his skill surpasses mine. I've also gained quite a bit from discussing the art of the zither with him. Do you really think he's some kind of Dragon Son with your mind full of nonsense?"

Qin Yi chuckled awkwardly, "So, you're saying this fat cow isn't actually a homebody? It will leave the forbidden area? Or does it use its Divine Sense to scan the entire sea area?"

Ju Yunxiu said, "I don't know if it came out on its own or if the sea creatures secretly informed it. In any case, it is the ruler of this sea area, and it would be strange if it didn't know that its most valued qin master was playing the qin outside."

Qin Yi pondered for a moment and said, "So, this fat ox might not be the clueless person we thought, just someone who stays at home listening to music. It's very likely that it knows a lot about many things, or at least has a general idea."

Ju Yunxiu nodded. "Don't underestimate the power of the Formless... So, what exactly do you hope to achieve by approaching it?"

Qin Yi asked, "Senior Sister, are you aware of the problem with the Winged Human Holy Wood that happened a few days ago?"

"I haven't heard that mentioned before," Ju Yunxiu suddenly said. "But I'm not surprised, because I know there's something wrong with the Jianmu tree itself..."

Qin Yi Yu Shang startled and terrified.

Qiu Niu was indeed well aware that there was something wrong with Jianmu.

And it actually told my Senior Sister?

What does this mean? Putting everything else aside, it means that Senior Sister can't get out! No Dragon Son would want such a serious matter to be leaked!

Seeing their expressions, Ju Yunxiu seemed to guess what they were thinking, and her expression became very strange. "It's not as exaggerated as you think... Oh dear, I don't know how to explain this to you right now. Anyway... do you know the significance of this Qiu Niu concert?"

Qin Yi hesitated and said, "Didn't I say I'd collect the music of a hundred races for you?"

"Yes." Ju Yunxiu sighed, "It believes that only I can save Jianmu."

Qin Yi was dumbfounded.

Is this the relationship between music and plants in the Immortal Dao version?
