Mo Dao Zu Shi: Together |Zhuiling| ✅

Chapter- 6

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait for me."

As the group was about to leave they heard someone calling. It was a boy's voice.

Sizhui was the first one to turn around, and so he greeted the new comer, "Zizhen, its been a while."

Ouyang Zizhen replied, "It indeed has. I heard that you guys were going to Yi City."

Sizhui was about to reply, but before him, the best Lan boy Lan Jingyi replied with puffing chest, "Yes we are. Wanna join us?"

JinLing was dumbstruck. Why are they inviting more people? He thought as his gaze turned dark.

Ouyang Zizhen happened to feel the gaze and shivered a bit. He replied, "I-its fine."

"Why not? You can join us."

This time the one to speak was Sizhui. Hearing him wanting to invite someone he felt something itching in his heart. But he retreated his dark gaze and said, "If you wanna come. Then come, otherwise get lost."

Hearing JinLing giving him permission his eyes shone, as if a kid was allowed to go to play outside. He replied, "How can I not accept the invitation of Sect Leader Jin. I'll surely come. Plus I already have the permission from my father."

"..."

He didn't invite him. The hell he was saying.

"Okay, now I guess we should leave." Sizhui said.

"Hmm. Now seriously, lets go." JinLing said through gritting teeth.

They didn't use any horse or carriage, neither did they used their sword to travel through air. They walked through their entire journey.

During evening, on their way, when they were traveling through a market place. The youths heard a pleasant voice of someone singing.

It was coming from where the people had crowded.

Ouyang Zizhen said, "Why not for once check the person who's singing?"

Lan Jingyi said while nodding, "Yes we should check."

Lan Sizhui shook his head and sighed, "We'll be late if we go and check. We also need to find an inn to rest tonight."

That one disciple of Jin Sect said, "Umm... But there's nothing wrong if we check out the person once."

He actually peeked his chin up a bit to have a glance. Others thought that he must have been dissolved in the voice of the maiden, but in his eyes only worries flashed.

Sizhui seemed to have noticed, that the boy's demeanor even though was calm, he was desperate to meet that maiden.

When JinLing was saying, "No we ca-"

"Lets have a look then." The one to say this was Sizhui.

JinLing, Jingyi, Zizhen and even those two disciples were baffled to hear him say that.

He continued, "You guys wanted to have a look. So lets go."

Jingyi and Zizhen shared a glance with each other. But nevertheless, walked towards the crowd.

JinLing thought 'Is Sizhui actually interested in girls or what?!"

While they were heading towards the crowd Zizhen asked, "By the way, may I know the names of the two disciples of Jin Sect?"

The one who had earlier suggested to check the singer said while bowing a little, "This disciple's name is Xue LongShi."

The other one said with a cold face, "Jin ShangLi."

"Ohh" Zizhen responded while nodding.

The crowded people were just commoners. Seeing the cultivators of prominent sect, they themselves made way for JinLing and the company.

In the middle was a young girl around seventeen or eighteen, maybe around same age as Sizhui and Jingyi. She had pale skin, and her brunette hair was tied in loose braid and she wore a tiara made of pink and white roses. Her lips were as red as cherry.

She was holding a lute with her left hand and playing it with right. And her voice, it felt that it was melted in honey.

"Green Mountain Perch
You ask why I perch in Green Mountain?
I chortle, don't reply, my heart at ease!
Peach blossom falls, float to the horizon,
Here in this no men world."

Applause and appreciation lifted from the crowd. Many people took out copper tales and gave it to her.

Sizhui said, "This maiden sings really well."

"Is that so?"

He didn't expected any reply, specially from JinLing. So, when he heard it he was startled. He turned his head to see the boy standing beside. That boy's head was lowered, and if Sizhui wasn't mistaken, he actually saw JinLing pouting while lowering his head.

He tried to see more intently but was disturbed by a sweet voice, "Hello Gongzi."

Sizhui turned his head to see who it was. At that time his eyes met with Peach Blossom eyes. The eyes were beautiful and gentle. It was too gentle, and he was used to the sharp phoenix eyes.

So, without baiting another eye he said, "Is the maiden referring to me?" Then Sizhui happened to have remembered something. He took out his jade blue sachet from inner robe, and fished out a silver tale.

"Your voice is indeed melodious. Kindly accept our present." He politely said while handing over the silver tale to the maiden.

She replied while accepting the tale, "Many thanks to Gongzi."

However, then her eyes suddenly paused on Xiao LongShi. Her eyes first widened, they curved into ecstasy. Her lips parted in joy as she cheerfully said, "A-Shi you're here too."
