Chapter 74 – Peerless Talent Of The Beautiful Youth
Yin Zi caught and held onto a branch beneath him to keep his balance, and then immediately turned his head in my direction. Upon seeing me, his eyes stared in shock and his mouth was opened wide speechless.
As I examined the Yin Zi that I haven’t seen in a long time, I found that he had lost a lot of weight, and his complexion had become even more pale. He was sitting barefooted, wearing a large robe decorated with many white feathers and an ordinary belt around his waist, and had many ivory like accessories hanging around him. His entire body was immaculately decorated, almost like the quivering snow of winter, and his dark obsidian-like eyes, they appeared to be even more dazzling on him.
“Yin Zi! I really miss you!” Seeing him freeze and didn’t respond to me, I spoiledly rubbed my body against his, waiting for him to happily call my name.
A cold and distinct voice from beside us suddenly interrupted our reunion, “Such a bold evil being, how dare you wander into the Valley of Fragments?”
I looked to the source of the sound, and discovered a woman wearing a long black dress sitting by a nearby branch. She had a book in her hand and was glaring at me, as if she was mad or something.
Perhaps it was because I didn’t notice her existence, but this woman really did not have much of a presence. Although her facial features weren’t ugly or unsightly, and her clothing weren’t anything out of the ordinary, she was the type that most people would tend to forget about. In a crowd of people, she would be easily overlooked, or often forgotten.
Understanding my own rudeness, I quickly let go of Yin Zi, stood up, and then said hello and introduced my name. That woman just coldly made a ‘hmph’ sound and paid no attention to me.
Xiao Zi seeing that the situation in front her had become unpleasant, abruptly stepped forward, and brought out the invitation. Letting her paper butterflies bring the invitation before her, Xiao Zi respectfully said, “White Flower Fairy has ordered this servant to deliver the invitation for the Hundred Flowers Banquet and requests that Crystal Jade Fairy to make an appearance.”
The face of the one called Crystal Jade Fairy instantly lit up like that of a person whose money was lent out had just been returned. She happily opened her mouth to ask, “Is White Flower Fairy doing well?”
“My master is very worried about all the fairy sisters.” Xiao Zi answered in a reasonable manner, and no longer had that nonsensical look of mischief.
“Why would a person of such nobility give the responsibility of delivering the invitation to you two peasants?” Crystal Jade Fairy said dismissively, “Did she even forget to teach you two about etiquette?”
Xiao Zi just bowed with a flushed face. And hearing these unpleasant words coming from that woman, I hastily asked her, “Didn’t we greet you? Why do we not have etiquette? It’s just that initially, I didn’t notice you…..and I’m not even an underling of White Flower Fairy, and even if I was at fault, this doesn’t have anything to do with Xiao Zi.”
“Bi Qingshen Jun, as a war general, shouldn’t neglect the training and education of his disciples. If the leader is not diligent, then how can one expect the followers to diligent?” The Crystal Jade Fairy’s voice was full impudence.
Even though I didn’t understand the meaning of the words spoken, what I did know was that she was being disrespectful towards Shifu. Enduring the impulse to punch and fight with her, I turned to Yin Zi and said, “Let’s go, leave that woman alone, her speech is so hateful.”
“Yin Zi! You!” Crystal Jade Fairy suddenly cried out.
I turned around and mockingly stuck out my tongue. I grabbed onto Yin Zi’s hand and pulled him away, but he ruthlessly shook away my hands, and told Crystal Jade Fairy while looking at her, “I’m not leaving.”
“Why?” I was surprised.
