After a day of gaining understanding and meeting with the Goblin elder Guru, Ye Yinzhu already has a plan for the construction of Qin City in mind.
Ma Liang paused, “Yinzhu, are you going to form an army in Qin City?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded, “Yes, we need an army to protect Qin City.
Sister Anya and her Elf Clan people are simply too few in numbers.
If we want Qin City to prosper and develop in the future, we will need to rely on a large number of humans.”
Ma Liang said, “That’s no problem.
I don’t have anything to do when I get back, and the same goes for Chang Hao.
Might as well stay here.
It doesn’t make any difference if there’s not much we can help you with, we can still cultivate here.
Since we came together, let’s go back together.”
Haiyang nodded, “I share the same sentiment.
There are many things you’ve taught me that still need to be integrated.
The environment here is beautiful, staying here to cultivate is a good choice.”
Ye Yinzhu’s gaze turned to Sura, “Sura, what about you?”
Sura smiled faintly, “Wherever you are, I’ll be there.
It doesn’t matter if they go back.”
Ye Yinzhu gave a small smile, a warmth rising in his heart, and then turned his gaze towards the blue elf girls, “Lady Yan Luo, it looks like you guys will have to stay here too.
In Qin City, most of the major matters are now being managed by Sister Anya.
She’s a Moon Elf, so if you wish, she could arrange your future dwelling.”
Before Ye Yinzhu could finish speaking, Yan Luo diligently shook her head, “No, Master.
My sisters and I have already discussed this.
We’ve decided to follow you, for only your music can calm our emotions.
Master, please don’t abandon us.” As she said this, she, along with the ten blue elves, prepared to kneel before Ye Yinzhu.
Ye Yinzhu was startled, and quickly released a gentle Douqi to hold them up, “Don’t do this, if you’re willing to stay, then stay.
However, in a few months I will have to return to the academy to study, what will you do then?”
Yan Luo said, “It doesn’t matter, as long as we can follow you, even if that means living within the Life Storage Gem.”
Ye Yinzhu frowned, “That is not fair to you.”
Yan Luo shook her head, her voice melancholic, “Since our home was destroyed and the Blue Elf Clan fell, when have we ever experienced fairness?
To us, your words are already more than enough.”
Feeling rather troubled, Ye Yinzhu said, “But, you can’t just keep following me like this forever!
Sister Anya is trying to rebuild the Elf Tribe here, and the Elf Tribe is your home.
Wouldn’t living with your own kind be better?”
Yan Luo coldly said, “The Moon Elf Clan has long since lost our trust.
You and Miss Haiyang are the only ones we trust.” Under Haiyang’s strong demand, she finally stopped referring to Haiyang as the nanny, which did sound a bit strange.
Ye Yinzhu was at a loss, what could he do with these eleven beautiful girls in the future?
Just when he was struggling, one of the blue elf girls suddenly stood forward, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, please allow us to learn music from you.”
Ye Yinzhu was taken aback, “You want to bee Divine Music Masters?” He saw a strong hope in the eyes of these eleven blue elf girls, and Yan Luo did not stop her sisters.
The blue elf girl who stood out, second only to Yan Luo in looks, nodded, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, ever since we heard you play the Zither that day, we’ve been deeply infatuated with your music.
We never knew such beautiful things existed in the world.
We Blue Elves are extremely sensitive to things from the outside world, including music.
Maybe we can’t help you much, but we truly love the music you play.
Please, say yes.” As she said this, she swiftly knelt before him, faster than Ye Yinzhu could react.
“Don’t do this.” Ye Yinzhu took a step forward and helped the blue elf girl from the ground, “What’s your name?”
With her head down, the blue elf girl said, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, my name is Xun.”
Ye Yinzhu swept his eyes towards the other blue elf girls, “Is this the collective opinion of you all?”
Yan Luo, along with the other blue elves, nodded in affirmation, “Yes, Your Excellency, Zither Emperor.”
Ye Yinzhu said, “But you need to understand that to learn music, you must be able to endure the monotony, expend countless effort and devotion to truly integrate into music.
Without at least ten years of zeal, it is impossible to learn anything.
Can you persevere?”
“We can persevere.” The eleven blue elf girls almost chorused in unison.
Looking into their eyes, filled with determination, Ye Yinzhu slowly nodded, “Alright, since you genuinely love music.
Then I can teach you.
However, my specialty lies in the zither, and it’s not possible for all of you to share the same interest.
Therefore, I can’t guide all of you.
How about this, when the issue with Qin City is resolved, and the new school year starts, you will acpany me to Milan.”
Haiyang, standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise, “Yinzhu, you mean to…”
Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly, “I think if they truly have talent, they won’t be refused at the gates of Milan Magic Martial Academy, right?
Having them call us senior will be much better than calling me ‘Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor.’ Haiyang, I’ll need you to help them out during this period.
I’m uncertain whether they are suited to study music, thus please teach them some basic knowledge of a Divine Music Master.
Also, let them select the instrument that suits them best.
As for attending classes, I will speak with Granny Nina.” Given his relationship with Nina, he believed that Nina would not refuse his proposal.
Haiyang smiled, “Alright, it seems I have something to do now.
However, they do not have any foundation in Divine Music.
Isn’t it a bit late to start learning now?”
“It’s not too late.” Anya’s voice came from outside as she entered the room, changed into a white long dress.
It was the first time Chang Hao, Ma Liang, and Haiyang had seen Anya.
They were instantly mesmerized by her majestic air, leaving them speechless, even forgetting their manners as they stared at Anya.
“Sister Anya, you’re here,” Ye Yinzhu weled her with a warm smile.
Anya’s gaze fell onto Yan Luo and her tribespeople, a tint of sadness in her voice, “Blue elves, I never thought I’d see members of the Blue Elf Clan again.
I heard about your clan’s demise from other tribespeople who traveled from afar.
I’m sorry that our Moon Elf Clan couldn’t protect you better.” As she spoke, she curiously bowed to the eleven blue elves.
The blue elves did not speak, just stood there calmly with a noticeable chill in their expressions.
Anya straightened up, letting out a light sigh, “Yin Zhu, the nobility of the Blue Elf Clan is akin to us Moon Elves.
Both of us being the earliest beings of the Elf Tribe.
Although blue elves lack any fighting abilities, they have a keen sense of any matter.
In ancient times, blue elves were the magical geniuses of our Elf Tribe.
Yet, due to later environmental destruction on the continent, the spiritual seed that carried blue elves’ magical inheritance was lost, hence the natural magic unique to our Elf Tribe was not passed down.
Blue elves are known as the natural dancers.
I think, based on their sharp senses of the external world, they should be adapted to the profession of a Divine Music Master perfectly.
Even though they have never cultivated, having grown up in the Elf Forest, they have already gathered an ample amount of natural elements within their bodies.
Should they begin practicing magic, the oute would be remarkable, something no other elf species could match.
It’s just that the Blue Elves love peace and beautiful things too much.
In their consciousness, magic is nothing more than a murderous weapon, and they disdain learning it.
It seems the Blue Elves might have to make an exception this time.”
Ye Yinzhu said, “Since Sister Anya says so, then there will likely be no issue.
Yan Luo, are you all really unwilling to stay, to reside in the soon-to-be-reconstructed elf world?”
Yan Luo shook her head, “We only wish to follow our master.” It seemed like she hadn’t even noticed Anya, not even shooting a straight glance in Anya’s direction.
The atmosphere filled with sorrowful melancholy made Anya somewhat unfortable.
Revealing a forced smile, she said, “Yin Zhu, I’ll take my leave now.
You just arrived from your long journey, rest for a couple of days, and then the day after tomorrow, I will take you to visit the Dwarf Master.” After saying that, she bowed deeply to the blue elves again before leaving the room.
The blue elves’ coldness towards Anya made the atmosphere in the room a bit tense.
Haiyang took the initiative, understanding Ye Yinzhu’s feelings.
He walked forward, taking Yan Luo’s hand, “Since you all like music, why not start now?
e with me to my place.”
“Thank you, Miss Haiyang,” Yan Luo said gratefully.
Although they had recovered from their past pain with the help of Ye Yinzhu and Haiyang, the blue elves were filled with pessimism towards the world.
They were no longer the loving, perfect-seeking blue elves from the Elf Forest.
The ugliness of the human world had taught them that power was the best protection.
At the moment, the only two they could fully trust were Ye Yinzhu and Haiyang.
With Haiyang taking the eleven blue elves away, the room instantly seemed much more spacious.
Chang Hao stuck out his tongue, “These girls seem so cold, yet it’s such a pity they are so beautiful.” (To be continued.
