Chapter Twenty Story

  His fate is no longer strange, but rather it seems that he is not even in the fate, which is impossible, unless he has covered up the heavenly mechanism in some way. I want to investigate further, but my star power is more and more suppressed as I get closer to him. Yu Xuanji was puzzled, but she didn't know that Xu Xian wasn't covering up the heavenly mechanism, but rather there was no such thing as his fate in the heavenly mechanism.

  "He doesn't seem as cunning as Pan Yu, wait till he comes tomorrow and ask him thoroughly, there should be a result."

  "What if he's really a fellow disciple of Master?" Bamboo shoots asked curiously.

  "I will definitely lead him to the right path, and not let him sink into this mundane world, wasting his life in vain." As she finished speaking, Yu Xuanji's face was full of determination, as if this sentence was both a promise to the bamboo beside her and an affirmation to herself.

  The bamboo shoots looked at the master with trepidation, and the master's eyes reminded her of their first meeting in the depths of the deep mountains, amidst an endless sea of bamboo, where a Taoist had appeared before her when she was just beginning to develop spiritual intelligence, tapping on her body and revealing a satisfied smile, saying: I'll teach you how to cultivate now!

  At that time, she didn't understand what cultivation was, but was scared by the Taoist's gaze, and involuntarily trembled. Then the Taoist revealed an absolutely beautiful smile and said: "You agreed, so follow me." After finishing speaking, he took out a prepared hoe and brought her away from the bamboo sea where she had lived for hundreds of years.

  "You may be a big and old bamboo, but on the path of cultivation, you are just a small bamboo shoot that has just poked its head out! From now on, let's call you 'Shoot'!" The Taoist took it upon himself to name her, and planted her in his own backyard. At that time, she was terrified, fortunately, she was very gentle, except for liking to force herself to do homework and take medicine pills.

  Apart from the fact that she doesn't allow herself to be called "master" and is really good, (the phrase "beginning in chaos and ending in abandonment" is something she just learned recently, and at this moment she used it on her master without any hesitation). No, the look in her eyes when she took herself away from the bamboo sea still sends shivers down my spine even now!

  Bamboo thought that his Shifu was probably going to be unlucky, and would have to do homework, eat bitter medicine pills, and drink bitter medicinal water. He imagined Xu Xian frowning as he ate those pills, and if he didn't eat them, he would get spanked, while Bamboo stood by with a bamboo stick, supervising. Bamboo's face broke out into a happy smile.

  Yu Xuanji didn't notice the little thoughts of the small figure beside her, she was worried, would Xu Xian really come tomorrow? After Yu Xuanji's Tianji algorithm was completed for the first time, there was one thing that was completely beyond her control.

  In the academy, Pan Yu handed the letter to Li Si Ming.

  Li Si Ming opened the envelope, read out the contents on the paper "Next month's end of the month, at three o'clock in the afternoon, snow will be two inches and three points thick. Then he raised his head and smiled: "Good, announce this date to everyone, let them prepare more. Pan Yu, especially you, don't go out these days, just stay in the academy and study!"

  Pan Yu smiled slightly in response, but Li Si Ming turned his face to Xu Xian and said: "Since the date has been set, the invitation should be sent out. Xu Xian, you go take care of it!"

  Xu Xian hummed in discontent: "This gap is too big!" However, he had been thinking of going out for a spin, and this task was just what he wanted, so he simply said: "Where to?"

  "Jinhua City, you and Ning Cai Chen go together, set off the day after tomorrow."

  Xu Xian was shocked and pale, saying: "Who? Ning, Ning Cai Chen."

  "What's wrong, Ning Caichen is our fellow student, lives in Jinhua, what's not right?" Pan Yu immediately revealed all the information about Ning Caichen. But Xu Xian came to Jin Tian Shu Yuan without noticing these things, but last time he entered the school, he vaguely saw this name.

  Xu Xian chuckled twice and said: "Nothing, nothing, it's just that this name sounds familiar." He thought to himself: This must be a coincidence, yeah, a coincidence.

  It doesn't make sense, I'm a ghostly beauty, I should be wearing the new Legend of the White Snake Maiden! Is this what they mean by Hong Kong and Taiwan not being different? Or did the director pick up the wrong script?

  Xu Xian was lost in thought, and didn't even notice Li Si Ming's conversation with Pan Yu, responding randomly a few times. Pan Yu thought Xu Xian was just distracted because it was his first time traveling far from home, but he had no idea that Xu Xian was actually thinking about the serious issue of crossing over.

  When the sky darkens and turns indigo, a cool autumn breeze sweeps across the window frame.

  Pan Yu simply washed up and prepared for bed, her black hair scattered, wearing only a white undergarment. Her white clothes were as snowy, her black hair like ink, truly an ethereal beauty. She floated lightly into the room, but saw Xu Xian lying stiffly on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling. Pan Yu silently cursed him as a fool in her heart, but said aloud: "Han Wen doesn't need to worry, it's just car sickness, and the journey was still quite interesting."

  Xu Xian came back to his senses and took a glance at Pan Yu, although he had seen her many times before, he was still moved by her beauty. He couldn't help but think: If only she were Liang Zhu, but it seemed there wasn't anyone named Ma Wencai here. Never mind, never mind, let's take things one step at a time, maybe it's just a coincidence of names.

  "It's just me being overly worried."

  Pan Yu sat beside her desk, holding a copper mirror to tidy up her hair while saying: "Aren't you going to tell a story? Come on and talk!"

  Xu Xiandao said: "Well, that makes sense. What's the point of looking in a mirror so late at night? Listening to me tell stories is the real deal."

  The candle was extinguished, and the room fell into darkness. Pan Yu lay on the bed, covering herself with the quilt, feeling much more comfortable. She still wasn't used to sharing a room with others; this darkness seemed to bring her some warmth instead.

  I remember the past, when feeling exhausted and unable to go on, she would find a closed room, the house was pitch black, she lay in the middle of the room without eating or drinking, staring at the endless darkness, until she came out again with a smile like a jade gentleman. Regardless of her mother's worries, she locked herself in the room, perhaps it was the only willfulness since she understood things, an inevitable willfulness.

  "A long, long time ago, there was a person named Liang Shanbo..." Xian began his story in the darkness. There are many versions of the Butterfly Lovers, but the one that left the deepest impression on Xian was the Disney animated version. Following the original plot, he continued in a lighthearted tone.

  In the darkness, Pan Yu curled up her slender body in the quilt, listening to that familiar voice telling a familiar story. When she heard about cross-dressing, her chest shook, thinking, he wouldn't be making it up, would he? But she soon realized that Zhu Yingtai and she were two completely different kinds of people, just a spoiled and naive young lady from a wealthy family. But she couldn't be willful, couldn't throw tantrums, couldn't seek death or life, couldn't fall in love with any man under the sky, this was her fate.

  "In the end, the two turned into butterflies." Xu Xian let out a long sigh, still feeling moved. In fact, when he first saw that movie, he had cried, and although it was because of his young age at the time, he was still mercilessly teased by his classmates.

  "Is it done?" Pan Yu's voice came over, with an extra chill compared to daytime.

  "It's done."

  "Oh, go to sleep then!"

  Xu Xian's eyes welled up with tears: "Can't you show some reaction?! I'm parched from talking, don't you have any feelings at all?!"

  "Yes, it's really stupid that Liang Shanbo didn't discover Zhu Yingtai's identity for so long, it's not very reasonable. Zhu Yingtai only thought of her own feelings, which is quite selfish. So this is a story that is both stupid and selfish and unreasonable." Pan Yu had some moving and yearning feelings in his heart, but when he spoke, they turned into complete denial, and he couldn't help but deny them.

  A loud "thud" sound.

  "What's wrong?" Pan Yu exclaimed.

  "Don't talk to me, just let me die." Xu Xian's voice was filled with a sense of defeat. For some reason, it made Pan Yu feel like laughing. And she did laugh, saying softly: "Although this story is silly and selfish, and you can guess the ending from the beginning, it's still quite interesting. You can tell more stories like this in the future!" This kind of strange story was really to her taste.

  Is this supposed to be comforting? Ninety-nine percent negation plus one percent affirmation, and a completely insincere expectation. Xiān Yù muttered: "Thank you for your kindness, I'll definitely talk more in the future." But in his heart, he felt a surge of discontent. As a mighty time-traveler, he couldn't even move an ancient person? If Liang Zhu didn't work, then Romeo and Juliet would; if not, there was still Titanic, this ultimate killer, which would surely make you shed tears.

  But on this, Xu Xian was destined to suffer a lifetime of defeat, and Pan Yu's words were like an unfeeling verdict.

  "What a ridiculous donkey, completely without any stance, and in the end died under such a coincidence, indeed still a stupid and selfish story."

  Xu Xian spat blood.

  "Jack is such an unpleasant name, and there's even a girl named Rou Si, they must have had a tough childhood at home." Xian spat out blood again. "Let's focus on the main issue, names are trivial matters."

  "A man of great wealth and status, how could he sacrifice his life for a woman, especially one who is promiscuous and unchaste? But then Jack was always a scoundrel and a gambler, not a real man at all. This story does make sense after all."

  Xu Xian's body was emitting smoke, and he fell to the ground. Why Titanic became a story of rascals and sluts, he no longer wanted to understand. He finally discovered that Perfect Panyu's only imperfection was extreme male chauvinism. In his opinion, that "slut" should have jumped into the water to let Jack live, if not, it proved she wasn't a good woman, and Jack should push her down. The original words were, "This slut, killing her would be no loss."

  Xu Xian, who was struck by lightning and had a crispy outside but tender inside, secretly vowed never to tell love stories again.

  "Today's stories are quite interesting, let's tell some every night from now on!"

  "Alright!" Xu Xian weakly responded.
