Tingyun: "Ji Yuan, Let Me Become an Adult Before Your Coming-of-Age Ceremony!" [7k]
Firefly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Yuan glanced at the time; it was almost late at night. He immediately said to Hua, "Teacher Hua, it's getting late. I should head home now and practice my boxing with you again tomorrow..."
"Okay." Hua nodded gently. "Do you live nearby?"
"Yes."
"Do you have any spare rooms? Perfect! I didn't tell Jing Yuan I was coming, and I don't know where I'll stay tonight. I can take you to learn martial arts again tomorrow morning."
"Yes, there is, but..." Ji Yuan hesitated upon hearing Hua's words.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem at home? If so, I don't mind going somewhere else," Hua asked, puzzled.
Seeing Ji Yuan's expression, Fu Xuan immediately understood the reason. She looked at Ji Yuan, thinking, "Serves you right for being a womanizer, now you know how awkward it is!"
Fu Xuan spoke to Hua, saying, "Marshal, let me make the arrangements for you."
As she said this, she glared at Ji Yuan.
After a moment of hesitation, Ji Yuan whispered, "No, it's just..."
He recounted his relationship with Tingyun, in addition to Firefly's.
I have to admit, Hua saw everything that happened between me and Firefly, except for the time we went to the hotel. If I don't explain now, it will definitely surprise Teacher Hua when we meet Tingyun. It's better to say something now than to wait until problems arise.
"Uh, this..."
Upon hearing Ji Yuan recount these events, Hua couldn't help but show a look of shock.
Is it possible for things to turn out this way?
She shook her head speechlessly. "Forget it, forget it, this is a matter for you young people. Don't worry, I won't interfere."
Ji Yuan gave an awkward smile.
Seeing Ji Yuan's expression, Fu Xuan couldn't help but glare at him.
Afterwards, everyone left. Fu Xuan and Qingque returned to the Divination Commission, while Ji Yuan, Firefly, Herta, and Hua headed towards their home. Fortunately, it was the middle of the night; otherwise, these four handsome men and beautiful women would likely have attracted a lot of attention.
When Ji Yuan returned home, he found that everyone was still awake.
"Brother, how much have you learned from the Marshal..." Sushang said to Ji Yuan while yawning. However, when she saw the figures beside Ji Yuan, she was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately returned to her room. "Mom, brother has brought back a few more guests."
Suyi appeared immediately, and Ruan Mei and Jingliu, who were in the room, also sensed the aura of a powerful figure entering the room. Tingyun hurriedly chased after them, and Huohuo, who had been standing there in the room for a few seconds in a daze, also came out.
"Miss, who are you?"
Suyi looked at the Herta with some confusion.
However, Nguyen Mai immediately revealed the identity of Herta.
"Herta, I never expected you to actually appear in your true form on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel."
"After all, it's a ceremony to acknowledge Ji Yuan as a formal member of the Genius Society. Screwllum had other things to do, so I had to come instead," Herta replied to Ruan Mei, shrugging.
"My brother actually became a full member of the Genius Society, that's really..."
Sushang thought for a few seconds.
Then I couldn't think of anything.
For her, there was no difference between being a full member of the Genius Society and an intern.
Suyi looked at Ji Yuan with great joy.
Having a son like this is truly a source of pride!
While thinking about it, he patted Sushang with a hint of disdain.
Go, go, go quickly and prepare some tea.
Sushang: "..."
At this moment, behind the Herta, Suyi saw Hua, who was calmly gazing at the moonlight.
Upon seeing Hua, Suyi's expression instantly turned tense.
This, this, this, my son, what a privilege you have! You've actually invited the Marshal to your home as a guest.
Hua noticed Suyi's nervousness and smiled, saying, "Suyi, it's been a long time."
"Yes, yes, it has been more than four hundred years since I started learning swordsmanship from you." Suyi nodded nervously.
Ji Yuan watched his usually calm mother display such an expression and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
This is so interesting.
"Ji Yuan's talent in boxing is the best I've ever seen. I was so excited when I saw it that I decided to stay with him for the next few days to teach him more. I wonder if you would agree?"
"Of course, of course, please..."
Suyi nodded quickly and invited Hua and the others into the room.
Meanwhile, Jingliu and Ruan Mei, who were standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a strange sense of familiarity.
Discovering Ji Yuan's exceptional talent—a sense of excitement took hold, and a desire to teach him skills arose—to facilitate this teaching, they stayed together—then, witnessing his performance, they were overjoyed—and finally...
Ji Yuan has already gone through this process twice.
Will we have to go a third time?
"Brother, I want to be someone's music teacher."
Lying in bed, Robin called his brother Sunday to tell him about what had happened on the Xianzhou that day.
She was originally going directly to Penacony for the Harmony Festival, but at the company's request, she was diverted to Luofu Starfaring Vessel. Once settled in at the Xianzhou, she immediately called her brother to let him know she was safe.
First, she said that everything was fine on Luofu Starfaring Vessel and that it was safe here, so brother, you don't need to worry. Then she told Sunday that she wanted to be someone's music teacher.
The Robin has always sung alone, and while she is happy to share Harmony melodies with people, she sometimes feels lonely. However, when she sings with others, they simply don't have the ability and would only become redundant noise, affecting the whole song.
Only Ji Yuan has the talent and ability to become his own chorus.
On Sunday, she replied with a smile, "Oh? Who is it that has made my sister want to become a music teacher?"
"It's Ji Yuan, the protagonist of this ceremony on the Xianzhou."
The Robin answered immediately.
Upon hearing her name, Sunday fell silent for a few seconds. After several more seconds, he finally spoke to Robin, asking, "What exactly happened in Luofu today?"
"It's like this..."
The Robin obediently recounted everything that had happened that day to her brother. First, she and Ji Yuan were maliciously photographed without their consent, and then various rumors were spread to the media. Ji Yuan appeared and used his identity to clear up all those rumors and gossip.
"That is indeed a good thing."
He said this with great joy on Sunday.
Although he wielded considerable power in Penacony was ultimately just a corner of the universe, and outside the family territory, few people paid him any attention. Robin's travels throughout the universe, and with her immense fame, naturally attracted many scandals, Sunday would find difficult to handle.
Now, Ji Yuan's appearance directly helped his sister resolve everything.
Even the largest media conglomerates are utterly powerless against a company like Interastral Peace Corporation, which even controls the issuance of currency. Furthermore, Ji Yuan is Celestial Ark Native, and the Celestial Ark Native's vengeful nature makes them someone to be avoided. With both factors combined, Sunday can guarantee that no one will dare report on Robin's scandals again.
Sunday acknowledged. "So you're teaching Ji Yuan vocal music for these reasons? Indeed, if he's interested in it, this would be a very good way to repay him."
"No, brother, that's not why I want to teach Ji Yuan," the Robin said, shaking his head.
"What is that?"
I had some doubts on Sunday.
"Brother, Ji Yuan's musical talent is no less than mine. If he were to receive a little guidance, I believe he could sing songs that are just as good as mine."
Sunday was taken aback by the Robin's confident tone.
He listened to his sister's words on the phone and didn't sense any exaggeration in them.
It's worth noting that Robin is a singer who can perform as the lead vocalist at the Harmony Festival, meaning her voice can attract the attention of Aeon of Harmony to some extent. And Robin says that Ji Yuan also possesses such vocal talent.
If an ordinary person possessed such talent, Sunday would be understandable. After all, it's normal for there to be exceptionally gifted people in the universe.
But Ji Yuan is different; he has already demonstrated exceptional talent in many areas, including swordsmanship, science, and magic. And he has even managed to bring this talent to his songs.
Just how talented he is!
As if sensing her brother's shock, the Robin confirmed, "Yes, brother, although it's a bit hard to understand, Ji Yuan does have talent in singing."
At this point, Robin seemed to remember something and said to Sunday, "By the way, brother, Ji Yuan said he'll be going to Penacony at the upcoming Harmony Festival. I believe you can become good friends with him then."
After pondering for a while on Sunday, he replied to the Robin, "Sister, if possible, I hope Ji Yuan will not participate in the Harmony Festival."
This guy is just too wicked. He's incredibly talented and has a powerful background. Sunday was also a little worried about how much unpredictable change his appearance would bring to his plans.
The key issue is the final ceremony; whether or not to involve him in it is also a troublesome matter.
"Huh? Why?"
The Robin was somewhat puzzled.
"Under normal circumstances, I would naturally welcome his arrival. However, he always brings bloodshed wherever he goes, and I am a little worried that something might happen at the Harmony Festival."
Sunday explained.
"Hmm..." The Robin thought for a moment and felt that it seemed to be true.
Ji Yuan alone defeated three Lord of Destruction and one Emanator of Abundance, which certainly makes him a harbinger of disaster.
"It must just be a coincidence. Besides, he has other business to attend to in Penacony, and I'm afraid I can't stop him. After all, we only met today."
"Well, if he's coming, it seems I'll have to make more security preparations. Hopefully, the problems he caused before were just coincidences."
The Robin nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, brother."
"You've worked even harder. Prepare well, and I hope to hear your most perfect singing voice at the Harmony Festival."
"Yes, I will definitely do it."
The Robin made a promise to his brother.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Ji Yuan and the others prepared to rest.
Hua didn't care about the accommodation at all, and randomly found an empty room to sleep in.
Fortunately, Topaz had the foresight to prepare in advance. The Ji Yuan family had enough rooms to accommodate more people.
Ji Yuan also returned to his room and lay down.
However, he couldn't fall asleep at all while lying in bed.
It must be rolled up.
If you want to survive, if you want to live well, you have to roll up your sleeves.
He slowly closed his eyes.
The virtual training area is now open.
On the training field, Ji Yuan looked at Marshal Hua had appeared in the virtual training field.
The space created by his defeat of the Zephyro could project all the enemies he fought. This included sparring, which also counted as combat.
Seeing Hua's figure, Ji Yuan rushed forward and launched an attack.
The rate of time flow here is one to one hundred.
There are still five or six hours until morning.
Let's play for 500 hours first.
Ji Yuan thought to himself as he clenched his fist.
The next morning, Hua got up early to prepare for practicing his boxing skills.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw Ji Yuan already standing in the courtyard.
Upon seeing Marshal Hua appear, he said with excitement in his eyes, "Teacher Hua, I would like to spar with you again."
