After making a turn and arriving in a lively corridor, Ouyang Ye hurriedly shook off Gu Qingfeng"s hand and deliberately looked back. After realizing that Li Sen hadn"t followed them, she breathed a sigh of relief, then threw a glance at Gu Qingfeng, and said seriously, “Hey, don"t misunderstand, I grabbed your arm just to get rid of Li Sen and didn"t mean anything else, so don"t get the wrong idea.”
“Misunderstand?” Gu Qingfeng leisurely threw a melon seed in his mouth and lightly laughed, “I"m not a three years old child, how could I misunderstand.”
“That"s good.”
Ouyang Ye gave him an appreciative look, and then reminded seriously, ”But when you enter the venue later, you can"t talk nonsense, do you understand? The villa will hold a musical gathering today, and all the musical masters from the Bluesun Domain are here, so just sit next to me and eat with your head down.”
“No problem.” Gu Qingfeng has not eaten good food in ages so he won"t do anything else before stuffing himself with food.
“I didn"t expect you to be this tactful but since that"s the case, don"t worry, since I brought you in, I will definitely let you eat and drink your fill.”
Gu Qingfeng smiled but didn"t say anything and only after Ouyang Ye had repeatedly instructed him did she lead him into the venue.
The venue was extremely grand and it was enveloped by seven or eight formations. The spiritual energy inside was abundant and it was decorated in a graceful way, surrounded by antique attics with exquisite tables and chairs underneath, and a circular platform in the center, which was was the location where the performances would take place.
There were a lot of people in the venue, some old and some young, some men and women, all of them in groups. Some were talking and laughing, and some discussing music, and overall, it was very lively.
Ouyang Ye found an old man, which seemed to be the supervisor here, and after the two talked for a while, she took Gu Qingfeng to a table located on the west side and sat down.
On the table were many delicious dishes, but all of them were made with spiritual fruits, which made Gu Qingfeng a bit disappointed since he was thinking of eating some meat, but now it looked like there was no hope for that.
Fortunately, there was wine to drink and he poured himself a cup and tasted it, and although the taste was really not good, it was enough to drink.
“Hey, you can eat first, I"ll go to greet some seniors.” Ouyang Ye got up and was about to leave, but she unwittingly caught sight of someone and suddenly said, “How come that annoying Ye Hui is here too, and also she"s with Li Sen.”
“What"s wrong?” Gu Qingfeng followed Ouyang Ye"s gaze and saw a young man and a young woman standing at the entrance. The man in question was Li Sen, the young master who had been pestering Ouyang Ye earlier, and opposite of him stood a woman in a gorgeous outfit.
“Nothing, I just saw the woman I hate the most!” Ouyang Ye curled her lips, seemingly very displeased, and then suddenly realized something which instantly worried her, “I"m finished… I"m really finished… That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Li Sen will definitely tell Ye Hui that I brought Young Master Bloodflame. What should I do…”
She had a look of remorse and patted her forehead: ”d.a.m.n it! Why did I have mention Young Master Bloodflame at the time! What should I do now…”
Gu Qingfeng sat leisurely in the chair with his legs crossed while eating a small red fruit and drinking some wine. He saw Ouyang Ye"s worried and remorseful appearance and said, “Can"t you just say that I am not Young Master Bloodflame and be done with it?”
“You don"t know how abominable Ye Hui is. If I said that you are not Young Master Bloodflame, she would definitely humiliate me, and soon enough the entire Redcloud Sect will know about this.”
Gu Qingfeng shook his head, appearing as if he did not understand.
Ouyang Ye paced back and forth, then stared at Gu Qingfeng for a while and said, “Hey, can you continue posing as Young Master Bloodflame later on?”
“Why?” It"s been a long time since he had a drink, and Gu Qingfeng was drinking one cup after another, getting more and more excited. But Ouyang Ye"s question made him very puzzled, “Why bother like this? Can"t you just ask Young Master Bloodflame to come over?”
“Young Master Bloodflame simply doesn"t exist!”
“He doesn"t exist? “Gu Qingfeng was even more puzzled, “But I remember hearing that Li Sen say that you have fallen in love at first sight with this Young Master Bloodflame, right? How come he doesn"t exist now?”
“Why are you so stupid! Let me tell you the truth, Young Master Bloodflame is a person I invented and does not exist!”
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng appeared even more confused. He changed his posture and asked with interest, “Girl, are you out of your mind? You"re saying that you just invented a person? Why?”
“You"re really r.e.t.a.r.ded!”
Ouyang Ye glared ferociously and said: “I was forced to do this. Apart from Li Sen, there were a few other disciples in Redcloud Sect that had been pestering me all day long. In order to make them give up, I had to say that I had a sweetheart, so I invented this Young Master Bloodflame.”
“You made it all up just so those kids pursuing you would give up??”
“Not entirely because of that. That only comes in second place. Most importantly, I did it because of that hateful Ye Hui!”
Gu Qingfeng looked at that gorgeously dressed lady standing at the entrance and said, ”If my eyes are right, that should be a woman, right? Does she also pursue you?”
“What the h.e.l.l are you saying!” Ouyang Ye was in a bad mood, “You don"t know, but ever since I entered the Redcloud Sect, this Ye Hui has been looking at me very badly.”
“She"s often against me and always tries to make things difficult for me. Especially after I made up Young Master Bloodflame and claimed he was myDao companion. She went around to find out the whereabouts of Young Master Bloodflame, and always questioned whether Young Master Bloodflame really exists.”
“Why would she question it for no reason?”
“This…” Ouyang Ye looked somewhat embarra.s.sed and hesitated for a moment before responding, “This is because of my vanity at the time I invented Young Master Bloodflame. I made him too perfect, saying that he was a dragon among men, proficient in all ten arts of the Immortal Dao, especially the music arts, saying he was a genius..”
“…” Gu Qingfeng was speechless and just shook his head.
“Hey, don"t look at me with those eyes. You just don"t know how hateful that Ye Hui is. Ever since she hooked up with Yun Hong, she"s acting so amorous in front of me, saying that Yun Hong was a genius in music. There was no way I could"ve put up with this, so I…I invented Young Master Bloodflame, a dragon among men.”
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng more or less understood what happened, then he tilted his head drained the wine from his gla.s.s in one go, and said, “So one of the reasons why you created this Dao companion of yours, Young Master Bloodflame, was to make use of him and get rid of your pursuers."
"Another reason was that Ye Hui found herself a Dao companion with high musical attainments and you did not want to lose to her, so you created Young Master Bloodflame. A dragon among men, proficient in all ten immortal arts, and a musical genius.”
Ouyang Ye nodded his little head firmly, “That hateful Ye Hui has always doubted the authenticity of Young Master Bloodflame and she even tried to force me several times to make a public appearance with him, but I never did."
"Although I lost a little face, Ye Hui still didn"t have anything concrete on me either, but just moments ago I falsely claimed that you are Young Master Bloodflame in order to get rid of Li Sen and he has definitely told Ye Hui about this…”
Ouyang Ye continued, “If I say now that you"re not Young Master Bloodflame, Ye Hui will definitely make the entire Redcloud Sect know that Young Master Bloodflame doesn"t exist and he is just someone that I made up. By the time I….”
“Your face will be at an all-time low?”
Although Ouyang Ye didn"t want to admit it, this was indeed the case. She stole a glance at Ye Hui and Li Sen who were standing at the entrance and seemed to have an intention of coming this way, and hurriedly said, “Hey, just help me, don"t you forget that I am your savior! If it wasn"t for me, you would probably have starved to death at the cemetery.”
"Starve to death at the cemetery…” Gu Qingfeng shook his head and laughed bitterly.
He carried the wine pot and poured himself another gla.s.s of wine, put it to his mouth and tasted it gently, then frowned, “Okay, let"s just say you"re my savior, it"s not a big deal to do you a favor, but girl, I simply don"t know what kind of person your fictional Young Master Bloodflame is. What should I even say?”
"You were also at the cemetery when I was worshiping the Sovereign, right?"
"What about it?"
"So you must admire the Sovereign too, right?"
"Well…kind of."
“Then you must have heard of Sovereign Bloodheaven"s stories from his youth, right?”
At first, Gu Qingfeng started understanding a little, but after hearing her question, he was once again confused, “What does this have to do with Sovereign Bloodheaven?”
“I-I… Oh, since things have reached this stage, there"s no harm in telling you, and I also don"t care if you think it is amusing. Young Master Bloodflame, the sweetheart that I created, is based on the young Sovereign Bloodheaven..”
Gu Qingfeng almost spurted out the wine in his mouth after hearing this, then he stared at Ouyang Ye in amazement.
"Hey, don"t look at me like that, this is nothing to be embarra.s.sed about! Since I worship and admire Sovereign Bloodheaven, it"s only normal for him to be the lover I fantasize about in my dreams, isn"t it?" Ouyang Ye did not blush, neither did she get shy. She only felt that she was stating something that was universally true and normal.
In fact, the reason why she made up a Young Master Bloodflame was perhaps to make those who pursued her give up, or perhaps because she didn"t want to lose to Ye Hui, but more importantly, she did it because she wanted to give herself a mental comfort.
Ever since she started playing the Sovereign"s songs, she gradually became infatuated with him, moreover, there have always been rumors in the world that the Sovereign would reincarnate, so it made her think that he might really reincarnate one day.
Gu Qingfeng was rather helpless and could only give a bitter smile.
“d.a.m.n it, Li Sen and Ye Hui are coming! Are you going to help me or not?!”
Gu Qingfeng took a look, and sure enough, that girl in a gorgeous dress and Li Sen were coming this way.
Looking at anxious Ouyang Ye, he said, “Alright, no problem, I will help you settle this. You really found the right person to impersonate your Young Master Bloodheaven, who you created based on the young Bloodheaven Sovereign."
