"Watch me play a tune for you."

"You'd better study hard and play for me someday. If your skills are still this terrible, I'll have to deal with you."

Ye Xuan took a breath.

He then took Su Daji's guqin.

In fact, this guqin is also a famous instrument with a long history.

It is said that the wood used to make the zither was Jianmu from ancient times.

The strings of the zither were made by collecting and refining the light of heaven and earth.

To be honest, this guqin is a masterpiece among guqin.

It is a truly remarkable magical artifact.

Although it is only an acquired Postnatal Dharma Treasure, it is clearly a rather excellent tool for playing the zither.

With a crisp sound, clear highs, and deep lows, it's definitely a remarkable gem.

Ye Xuan picked up the guqin and examined it carefully.

Then he placed it respectfully in front of him.

First, he washed his hands, then had Wushuang and Su Daji help him cleanse himself.

Then he tidied his clothes, burned incense, and meditated.

After this series of actions, Ye Xuan's aura underwent a significant change, and Ye Xuan now seemed to have transformed into a complete scholar.

A strong scholarly atmosphere pervades the air.

It seems like I have countless emotions inside me that I want to vent.

The guqin in front of him was his most important outlet for venting his emotions.

After all preparations were complete, I finally began to play.

"Clang! C...!!!"

The very first syllable completely amazed Wushuang and Su Daji.

It was as if every note of the piano could strike the depths of people's hearts perfectly.

This allows the two of them to achieve complete resonance.

Then the next syllable suddenly rang out again.

The sound was crisp and clear, both gentle and resolute.

It is like High Mountains and Flowing Water or a mighty river.

The various sounds were truly lifelike.

Ye Xuan's slender fingers flew across the guqin.

The sound was clear, resonant, and yet not abrupt.

A moment later, the voice changed again, like countless wild horses galloping across the grassland, full of heroic spirit.

The music rose and fell, sometimes soaring high, sometimes soft and melodious.

One moment it's a dramatic scene, the next it transforms into a lyrical one.

The sound of the zither was so melodious and clear, like a mountain spring playing among the green peaks.

The sound of the zither was so unrestrained, like Qingfeng drifting past the tips of willow branches.

The sound of the zither was so gentle and beautiful, like a colorful butterfly fluttering among a hundred flowers.

The sound of the zither was so pure and noble, like a beautiful plum blossom blooming amidst a heavy snowfall.

Such beautiful music naturally captivated the two women.

They had never heard such beautiful music before; it was completely beyond their expectations.

The next moment, the music suddenly reached an extremely high level.

It seems to have broken through some kind of limit.

"Bah!!!"

A resounding, incredibly loud voice.

Then, the two women seemed to see a Colorful Phoenix rise into the sky.

This is a phoenix radiating endless flames.

At this moment, the phoenix was flying in the void.

Although it was only constructed from Ye Xuan's zither music, it still shocked the two women.

To be able to create music from nothing is truly a divine and mysterious feat.

The two women never imagined that their master's musical skills had reached the level of creating something from nothing.

The changes in the music were also met with a serene and captivating fascination.

The tender, lingering voices seemed to be expounding on love.

A moment later, a slightly smaller phoenix appeared in the sky.

Two phoenixes, one large and one small, danced gracefully in the air.

Both Wushuang and Su Daji were stunned as they looked at the two phoenixes in the sky.

Deep inside, I was utterly shocked, as if a raging storm had struck.

Both of them understood what Ye Xuan meant.

Compared to her master, Su Daji's zither playing was truly beneath her dignity.

Little did the two of them know that Ye Xuan was playing the timeless classic, "The Phoenix Seeks His Mate Its Mate."

Before his rebirth, Ye Xuan was a spoiled brat.

However, Ye Xuan had received all the education that nobles were allowed to receive.

This is why Ye Xuan is able to possess such a vast amount of knowledge.

Playing the tune "The Phoenix Seeks His Mate" was obviously an easy task for Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan has now become Human Dao Saint, and his understanding of Human Dao completely surpasses that of everyone else.

Playing the so-called "The Phoenix Seeks His Mate Its Mate" is a piece of cake for him.

Ye Xuan played the instrument while reciting poetry.

"Phoenix, oh phoenix, return to your homeland, roam the Four Seas to find your mate!"

"Oh phoenix, oh phoenix, may you rest in peace and be my eternal consort!"

"How can we become a pair of mandarin ducks, neck to neck, soaring together like the stubborn Hu Jie!"

"Disdain rises and soars high, indifference lingers in my thoughts, only sorrow remains!"

Ye Xuan sang only to better express his emotions.

Two phoenixes, formed from the sound of the zither, seemed to have a physical form as they flew here.

This is an atmosphere of sharing life and death, honor and disgrace.

This is an emotion born from pursuing love to the extreme.

This poignant and beautiful atmosphere was clearly felt by both Wushuang and Su Daji Jin Jie.

There was a beautiful woman, whom I will never forget once I saw her!

"A day without seeing you, I am driven mad with longing!"

"The phoenix soars high, seeking its mate Four Seas!"

Alas, the beauty is not here on the east wall!

"Let the zither speak for me, and express my heartfelt feelings!"

When will I see you again, to soothe my anxious heart?

"Let our complaints be commensurate with our virtues, and let us join hands and walk together!"

"---------"

Ye Xuan actually quite liked this poem.

Ye Xuan once had a true love in front of him.

Unfortunately, they ultimately couldn't be together.

It was this relationship that turned Ye Xuan into a spoiled brat.

The problem was that even after Ye Xuan had turned away, the woman turned back to beg him.

This greatly angered Ye Xuan.

Why did things turn out this way in the first place?

He is no longer the person he once was, and neither is she.

When the two met again, they were still filled with emotion, but the hysterical love they once shared was gone.

With tears streaming down his face, Ye Xuan finally let go.

Later, Ye Xuan remained the same spoiled brat.

But that woman also completely succumbed to despair and never appeared before Ye Xuan again.

Ye Xuan played the tune "The Phoenix Seeks His Mate Its Mate".

Isn't this a perfect reflection of his mindset when he was naive?

There was a beautiful woman, whom I could never forget after we met.

I miss you terribly if I don't see you for a day.

The phoenix soars high, seeking its mate Four Seas.

Alas, the beauty is not here on the east wall.

Let me use the zither to express my feelings, and write down my innermost thoughts.

This is a reflection of his mindset.

He has now traveled to the Primordial World and is no longer the same person he used to be.

He is now a thousand times, a hundred times happier than before.

Not only did a legendary femme fatale like Su Daji serve by his side.

There is also Wushuang Four Seas here.

But for some reason...

Ye Xuan still thought of the woman he had once loved deeply.

Perhaps that woman was his last remaining pure and unwavering devotion?
