Capítulo 2304: Chapter 36: Just an Ordinary Matter
Chapter Thirty-Six: Just a Common Thing
Bai Yuxia certainly wouldn’t go looking for Jiang Wang.
What reason would he have to find Jiang Wang?
Jiang Wang’s record as the top Inner Mansion in history still shines prominently.
No cultivator in the current world has surpassed it.
Now, he has already charged into the God Arrives realm, been granted a marquis title for military rit, and has moved out of the “young genius” circle to compete with strong figures of all ages.
As soone like Bai Yuxia, who couldn’t even claim the title of “strongest young genius of Yue Country,” by what right would you challenge him?
But Xiang Qian actually knows Jiang Wang, and they seem to be quite familiar.
In this light, losing to this person in the sa realm doesn’t seem so hard to accept… like attracts like, birds of a feather flock together, being close to Jiang Wang, it makes sense for Xiang Qian to be strong too.
Bai Yuxia thought about it, then found a tree branch to lie on comfortably.
He hadn’t realized it yet, but before eting Xiang Qian, he would never have had such thoughts or admitted that his loss was “reasonable.”
But everything just happened naturally and subtly.
Like “struggler” and “lounger” traveling together, like two tigers fighting, one will always be influenced. But who knows if the east wind prevails over the west, or vice versa.
However, at this mont, just lying there, with no thoughts of anything.
Late night stars and moon, the evening breeze brings the sound of insects.
To be honest, it’s quite enjoyable.
…
…
“What joy in life, what sorrow in death. So many mories, so little affection. eting and parting, seize the pleasure~” The singer’s voice was lodious.
The pipa strums, the guzheng begins.
The dancer’s cloud sleeves flutter, her graceful figure reflected on the screen.
Yuwen Ze sat upright and slowly said, “Marquis Wu’an doesn’t seem interested in deepening the alliance.”
Helian Yuyun looked at the dance on stage and casually said, “Such matters need not involve him in discussions, don’t make unwarranted probes. Just play along as you are good at, right?”
Yuwen Ze said with a bitter face, “I really haven’t taken Rucheng Yeshua anywhere to play… I haven’t been back from the Border Wilderness for long!”
Helian Yuyun didn’t respond, only enjoyed the performance on stage and sincerely praised, “Chu won are gentle, Chu songs are lodious, how I love it!”
Yuwen Ze was quite pained, but still said, “Since Your Highness likes it, please enjoy it at the palace.”
This troupe of singers and dancers was moved here at great cost from Chu Territory, dearly loved by him, and not easily invited to perform. It was only today, with Your Highness at the “Mingluan Performance Tower,” that he summoned them to show off. Yet Your Highness said they liked it, could he say, “Visit often?”
“Though I love it, such decadent sounds inevitably weaken ambition…” Helian Yuyun waved a hand: “Give them to Marquis Wu’an, let him take them back to Qi Country.”
“Ah?” Yuwen Ze looked up in surprise.
Helian Yuyun was already getting up to leave the seat.
What nonsense about decadent sounds weakening ambition, isn’t Marquis Wu’an’s ambition afraid of being weakened?
Listening left and right, Yuwen Ze clearly only heard this from the hidden aning in the voice—
“I also pity them, let alone Rucheng?”
But what wrong did I, Yuwen Ze, do?
Listening again to the lodious singing in the hall, lantations and sighs, just felt exceptionally befitting his mood, evoking lancholy.
“Performance Towers” are buildings found throughout Mugu, long used for performing the grassland’s traditional “Beast Mask Theater,” a favorite pasti for herders after a busy day.
A pot of mare’s milk wine, a basin of lamb, a beast mask performance, life better than a deity’s.
For many herders, they could do without tents, without horse fences, but never without a Performance Tower.
“Beast Mask Theater” is a taphorical play depicting humans as animals; perforrs wear beast masks painted in vivid colors, integrating dance with song, balancing ballads with stories. It has now developed over thirty thousand scripts, from creation myths to tragic romances, with rich and diverse plots.
After the unification of the grasslands, as the vision of Mugu’s nobility widened, especially among young people with much travel experience across various countries, enjoying relatively better entertainnt, many foreign entertainnt forms were introduced.
So the Performance Towers gradually weren’t limited to Beast Mask Theater.
Like Yuwen Ze’s troupe, skilled in Chu Territory music and dance, was one such example, even among the top troupes in the Royal Court.
Whenever he invited them to perform, the audience was always packed.
Made many True Blood brothers envious!
Didn’t expect today would be the last ti to enjoy…
“I’ll escort Your Highness.” Yuwen Ze suppressed his sorrow, stood up to respectfully send off Princess Yunyun.
Clenching teeth and swallowing blood, Rucheng has misled !
The group exiting the hall happened to encounter another group—Prince Damu, Helian Zhaotu.
The Mingluan Performance Tower, being the most renowned tower in Eagle City, always gathered high officials and nobles. But it was rare to have both prince and princess present as on this day.
Mugu is unlike other nations, with not many heirs.
The current Empress has only one son and one daughter, the son nad “Zhaotu,” and the daughter “Yunyun.”
The position of Crown Prince remains undecided but would only be between these two Highnesses. Other imperial kin have no chance at all.
For the upcoming Crown Preaching High Priest succession ceremony, it’s Helian Yuyun who presides over it. Helian Zhaotu had gone earlier to Qionglu Mountain for another significant affair.
The Empress grants them equal opportunities to perform, showing no favoritism.
But to be factual… over recent years, Helian Zhaotu has clearly had the upper hand.
Even Yuwen Ze, whose stance was already quite clear, must admit that Helian Zhaotu, with his heroic and grand appearance, has the makings of a wise sovereign.
