Chapter 1981: Sister

Xi Yue’s eyes snapped open, the dazed expression vanishing, leaving only clarity. The once smooth and melodious flute tune faltered abruptly.

Meng Zisu looked at her in disbelief, “How did you set yourself free?”

“Free from what?” Xi Yue chuckled, reaching out to grasp Meng Zisu’s chin. “Why did you stop playing?”

Meng Zisu jolted upright in fright, her face shifting between pale and flushed. Fear and deep wariness filled her eyes.

Xi Yue was amused by her reaction. She raised the corner of her mouth and said with a hint of ridicule, “Are you trying to seduce me with that level of mental fortitude?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t understand!” Meng Zisu took a deep breath, struggling to steady her emotions.

Xi Yue looked at the flute in her hand with interest.

It appeared to be just an ordinary artifact, which meant that the key lay in the melody itself–or rather, the spiritual power resided within the tune.

As Xi Yue was lost in thought, a commotion suddenly arose in the distance.

These words were spoken in a gentle and sweet voice.

As soon as this voice rang out, Xi Yue noticed Meng Zisu’s body stiffen, her face turning deathly pale.

Then, she heard another man’s voice, “Bai Ya, don’t say that. I’m not happy enough to have you entertain me, so why would I dislike it? What’s more, you don’t have to be envious. I heard that your grades in the Pill Department have always been among the best. There is a high chance that you will be selected for this year’s inner sect student selection.”

“Then I’ll gladly accept Brother Xi’s blessing,” the gentle and sweet voice responded with a delighted laugh tinged with a hint of shyness and affection. “Honestly, I don’t care whether I enter the inner sect or not. I just want to stay by Brother Yanhuai’s side. I want to take care of him and keep him company every day–that alone makes me happy.”

“Yanhuai is truly fortunate to have a lady like you devoted to him. It’s a blessing beyond lifetimes. If I had someone as devoted as you, I would have no regrets in this life.”

As their voices grew closer, Meng Zisu suddenly snapped back to her senses and hurriedly turned to leave.

But before she could take a step, they had already emerged from behind the rock garden.

Xi Yue quickly took in the sight–a young girl dressed in a pink and white gown, accompanied by a handsome young man with sharp, resolute features.

The young lady looked delicate and refined, but her brows and eyes carried a hint of sorrow that evoked sympathy.

Moreover, her alluring eyes looked so delicate and pure, as though she needed protection.

The lady in pink was momentarily stunned upon seeing Meng Zisu and Xi Yue, but she quickly broke into a joyful smile.

She ran over excitedly, grabbing Meng Zisu’s hand and exclaiming, “Sister, this is wonderful! I can’t believe I ran into you here!”

Meng Zisu jerked her hand away and said coldly, “We’re not close, Meng Baiya. Don’t act like we’re familiar with each other.”

Meng Baiya, the lady in pink, was caught off guard and thrown off balance, letting out a startled cry.

The young man’s expression changed instantly. He leaped forward, catching the delicate beauty in his arms, and asked anxiously, “Are you alright, Baiya? Did you get hurt anywhere?”
