Can the tones of Dizi touch the jasmine flower?

CHAPTER 1 What's wrong with me?

Finally, I can rest in peace. Nothing more to prey for. Nothing to hope. Nothingness all around me. The peacefully approaching darkness. Finally...

-You lived to my expectations Wei gonzi.

-Who is it?- the voice I heard was soothing but it could not be located, where was it coming from.

-Do not worry. I am not here to harm you. Just to ask a few questions.

I was thinking about the reason behind that voice's actions, but I stayed silent. I was too tired of everything.

-Wei WuXian, do you want a revenge?

My bitter sigh mixed with laugh came out from my mouth before I could stop it.

-Revenge? What for?

-Do not you resent anyone? They harmed you, tortured you, said a lot of unjustifiable, cruel words to you and dragged your name through the mud...?

That reasoning of the voice was wholly correct, yet I couldn't sense any hatred in my heart. Only regrets. Wasn't I the one who pushed them to do it? Was I not the one who made the war happen? They have all rights to blame me, hate me and loath my full existence...even If some good deeds were done by me, even if I had good intentions, even if I tried to fix it so desperately...

-who I resent is only myself for not trying hard enough and behaving  like a spoiled brat back then... Anyway, may I know who is speaking?

-I am one of few you call immortals. I can give you part of my power, that can be used to grant a wish. Be it to be alive once again, go back in time or make someone fell in love. You can choose anything you desire. For sacrifice you've done I shall comply your request.

-I do not want to come back. Doesn't it sound creepy? Coming back from being dead.-I scoffed. I was starting to think very hard about what to do with the proposal I got from the self-called immortal. When the single notion appeared in my thoughts.- Mr Immortal I shall have one request only. I want to.....

-I shall grant it, however, it will come with a price.

-No matter the price, this is the only thing I pray for.

-Very well. Wei gonzi your pray will be heard.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Wei WuXian!

The familiar voice came to my mind shuttering the peaceful darkness. Darkness that let me sink in the nothingness for a while and rest. No one shall wake me up from this calming feeling of safeness.

-Wei WuXian! Should I pour the cup of water on your head, or will you wake up willingly?

The voice started to be annoying. Couldn't he let me sleep a little longer? Just a bit...

-Don't want to.- I mumbled and turn to the other side. I just wanted to be welcomed by the peaceful black once again. Once again floating with nothing to do. The serenity of silence...

-Very well, WuXian.- I heard steps that appeared to be walking further and further from me. But suddenly I gained full consciousness. The words "cup of water", "on your head" and "very well" made a clear information for me, information that the danger is near once again. Wait...again?

My head hurts really bad. Why again? Was there any danger before? I couldn't remember.

-If you're still not awake, I will help you!- I heard the voice of my half-brother Jiang Cheng, who was probably walking upstairs right now. "Should I prank him?"- this thought caused me to smile a little and I would surely pretend I have not woken up while sneakingly sticking out my leg from behind the door to make him trip and spill all of cold liquid on himself, if the voice from the dream didn't reappear in my head: "who I resent is only myself for not trying hard enough and behaving like a spoiled brat back then..." My mischievous smile was wiped out clean immediately.
