Chapter 515 - 225: 3 Wins in a Row! Hua Hua’er!
Song Yinghan was feeling quite uneasy at the moment. She really wanted to ask the other party if they knew Yuchi, after all, Yuchi was the junior master of the Ascension Gate and seemed quite famous. But to actually say that she, an outsider, would inquire about this, it felt really embarrassing. The grand competition of the immortal sect wasn’t child’s play; if she disrupted others, that wouldn’t be good either.
"If it were just my own matter, I could directly find this Sect Leader Zong Liangqing, but since it involves Yuchi as well, if I anger the other party, would it lead to a bad impression of Yuchi? Then wouldn’t I have done something wrong?"
With a gentle sigh, the expression behind the mask no longer held the proud demeanor of a young woman. It’s uncertain since when, but whenever she was involved in any matter concerning Yuchi, she felt quite confused and even a bit helpless.
"The observatory previously made a mistake too, although later on it seemed like Yuchi wasn’t angry, at the time, he must have been quite furious..."
Song Yinghan recalled the scene of going to Xufu Town with her father.
According to her own calculations, going to Xufu Town one day was supposed to be to greet her future in-laws with tea, and it should have been a happy occasion. However, after finally making a visit to Xufu Town, this was how it ended.
"I could sense some of his anger at the time, for a moment... I even felt like his affection for me had completely vanished..."
Some things are unsaid, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t happen.
When Song Qingshan and the others had just arrived at the Wei Family’s doorstep, Yuchi came over to welcome them. Song Yinghan saw Yuchi’s brief shock, followed by a wave of annoyance. That instant change in his gaze was like looking at a complete stranger, and standing before him, she was no longer "Song the Great Beauty" or "Yinghan," perhaps just a plain "Miss Song," if even that.
"We were indeed in the wrong... If I were him, I would be angry too. The Wei Family and Xufu Town are the softest places in his heart. Suddenly, a group of fierce people arrived, causing a big trouble for the Wei Family and Xufu Town. If I were him, I’d be very irritated too."
"Not every matter requires me to personally handle it. The person I like can’t even manage this, does she have to come harm my family?"
Another gentle sigh, behind the mask, her face was three degrees more bitter.
"Thinking about it, I am really quite useless. It seems like, other than mere looks and physique, there’s nothing admirable about me... Even with just looks and physique, there are women far better than me emerging, even within the Ascension Gate... that Huo Shanlan who calls him junior master, her beauty is simply mesmerizing..."
"So in this situation, I can’t even persuade my own father, can’t stop him from disturbing other people’s lives, which led to such a dreadful agreement between two people. Three years later... it’s just three years away, in the blink of an eye. I don’t know how he will treat the observatory then... and how the observatory will deal with him?"
A series of complicated thoughts emerged in Song Yinghan’s mind, leaving her in a tangle. She missed Yuchi yet did not know how to handle the task before her efficiently. Why couldn’t she be as carefree as Yuchi, and why did she always feel foolish in her actions?
Watching the disciples surrounding the Sect Leader from afar, Song Yinghan felt quite bitter, quite envious:
"Oh well, it’s best not to disturb others now. They just finished a splendid match. I should wait until after the competition ends and then find Zong Liangqing, to ask if he knows of Yuchi’s recent situation or some troublesome matters about the observatory."
With that, she quietly left the crowd.
This time, Song Qingshan wanted Song Yinghan to come to the immortal sect’s grand competition to broaden her horizons. But after falling for someone, her entire being was in a state of closure, unable to see or feel the surroundings. Upon closing her eyes, her mind was filled with the image of the other person.
So would Song Yinghan take the stage for a match? She couldn’t be bothered. This kind of match was meaningless to her, winning or losing didn’t matter. She was just a hastily created sect of one, Song Yinghan herself, regardless of the outcome.
...
Yuchi seemed to notice something. He glanced back at the crowd, moving past many admiring gazes to look at a distant small pavilion, as if there was a gaze from within. This gaze felt quite odd to him... the owner of the gaze seemed very complex.
"It couldn’t really be Yinghan, could it..."
Yuchi wondered.
Song the Great Beauty should really be at the observatory, what would she be doing at the immortal sect’s grand competition at this time? Could it be her father let her out to relax? And while relaxing, she ended up at the grand competition?
