I cut off my love, and my senior brother and master regretted it.

Chapter 36: The Way of Music (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

"Junior Sister Ning, are you practicing?"

Outside Ning Ruoxi's cave, Nan Chengwen was transmitting the sound of his spiritual consciousness into Ning Ruoxi's cave.

Ning Ruoxi also replied through telepathy: "Brother, what's the matter?"

Nan Chengwen smiled and explained, "The eldest brother is back to the sect today, and I want to take you to meet him."

"It's too boring for you to practice every day. You should go out of the cave and walk around occasionally."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the cave slowly opened and Ning Ruoxi walked out.

"Then let's meet!"

Ning Ruoxi was not interested in meeting the senior brother, but since Nan Chengwen came in person to say so, she still had to give him some face.

Nan Chengwen helped her a lot at Tianxiang Peak and was quite nice to her.

The two of them headed towards the Tianxiang Palace together. On the way, Nan Chengwen opened the conversation, "Junior Sister Ning, our senior brother's name is Hua Jianyue. Although the name sounds feminine, he is indeed a man."

"My eldest brother is good at music and can use music to move people's emotions, so I thought of letting you give it a try to see if the music can work on you."

"The Way of Music? How is this way? Can it be compared to swords and knives?" Ning Ruoxi had never heard of the Way of Music.

Nan Chengwen nodded, his face showing a bit of seriousness, "This way is not as elegant as a sword, but when practiced to perfection, it can kill people without them even noticing, and even manipulate people to commit suicide."

"But even though you are strong, it is very difficult to practice. I will ask Senior Brother to show you later."

Ning Ruoxi didn't say anything more. The two of them came to the Tianxiang Palace. A man in a black robe was playing a guqin. The sound of the guqin was desolate, as if expressing endless sorrow and sadness.

Nan Chengwen raised his hand to block Ning Ruoxi's way, and signaled him to wait until the man finished playing before passing by, "Junior Sister Ning, this is the senior brother."

Hanami Yue's face was partially obscured by the shadow, but one could still see that he looked focused and devoted. His fingers were slender and nimble as he gently stroked the strings of the zither.

After a while, Hanami Yue smoothed the strings of the zither and the music ended.

Nan Chengwen clapped his hands and walked towards Hua Jianyue, "Big Brother, I haven't seen you for many years. Your piano skills have improved a lot!"

Hua Jianyue raised her eyes to look at him and smiled gently, "Oh? You can understand this? Then what do you think my piano music is trying to express?"

"Uh..." Nan Chengwen touched his nose. He had no idea what Hanamiyue was playing. He just came over to say a few polite words and give her a compliment.

You really don't understand romantic ideas. You have to point this out.

Ning Ruoxi took a look at Hua Jianyue. Hua Jianyue's face was not as feminine as his name suggested. Instead, it had a very masculine look.

"Hello, Senior Brother." Ning Ruoxi bowed to Hua Jianyue.

Hua Jianyue nodded to Ning Ruoxi, then looked at Nan Chengwen and asked, "Is this the Junior Sister Ning you mentioned to me?"

Nan Chengwen said "hmm" softly, "Brother, Junior Sister Ning is not sentimental. I was thinking that your way of music can influence people's emotions, right? You can let Junior Sister Ning give it a try."

"I have never met a person without emotions, but I have met a few people who practice the Way of Ruthlessness. Even if they practice the Way of Ruthlessness, they will be affected by the emotions in my Way of Music, and even fall in love again."

Hua Jianyue was also somewhat curious as to whether her musical skills could have any effect on Ning Ruoxi.

"Junior Sister Ning, do you want to give it a try?" Nan Chengwen asked Ning Ruoxi.

"Thank you, senior brother." Ning Ruoxi sat next to Hua Jianyue and signaled Hua Jianyue that she could start.

Hanami Yue plucked the strings and started playing the guqin again.

Ning Ruoxi didn't understand music, but she felt that the music played by Hua Jianyue was no different from ordinary songs. Nan Chengwen felt differently. He didn't use his cultivation to deliberately resist Hua Jianyue's music. He felt inexplicably happy.

This is the emotion that Hanami Etsu changed in him through the art of music: joy.

Seeing that Ning Ruoxi still had no reaction, Hua Jianyue changed the style of the song to a sad one...

The subsequent music styles of anger, fear, etc. had no effect on Ning Ruoxi, who didn't even raise her eyelids.

"Ah..." After the song ended, Hua Jianyue let out a long sigh. He was not regretting that Ning Ruoxi had no feelings for him, but regretting that his music skills had no effect on people.

If Ning Ruoxi's cultivation was higher than his and she was not affected by the song, then he could still accept it.

But the reality is quite the opposite.

"useless."

Nan Chengwen also frowned, it seemed that the lack of love could not be made up for in any other way.

What should I do if Junior Sister Ning’s humanity completely disappears in the future?
Ning Ruoxi stood up and bowed to Hua Jianyue, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for trying out the song for me."

Hanami Yue gave a bitter smile, "I didn't help much, so I'm just showing off my skills before an expert."

"But it could also be that my cultivation is too shallow. Once I advance in the art of music, I might be able to change your mood."

Seeing that Hua Jianyue was a little depressed, Nan Chengwen hurried out to smooth things over and change the topic.

After chatting, Ning Ruoxi said goodbye.

Hua Jianyue took a sip of the wine gourd that Nan Chengwen gave him and asked, "What is the grudge between Junior Sister Ning and Wanling Peak?"

Nan Chengwen lay down on the grass and put his hands behind his head. "I don't know much, and it's all true and false."

"But after spending some time with Junior Sister Ning, I feel that the image that Wanling Peak has created for her is somewhat discredited!"

"Just as Elder Leng said, whoever is stronger is right..."

"Junior brother, when will Master come back?" Hua Jianyue thought of something and asked Nan Chengwen again.

Nan Chengwen shook his head. "I don't know either! Master didn't tell me anything, but I suspect... Master went deep into the Tianxuan Mountains again."

"The last time Master went to the Tianxuan Mountains, he almost didn't come back. I just hope he won't go to the Tianxuan Mountains this time..."

"Are you talking about the opportunity to become an immortal in the Tianxuan Mountains?" A hint of worry flashed in Hanamiyue's eyes.

Nan Chengwen replied, "Yes! Becoming an immortal... How can it be that simple? There hasn't been an immortal in the world of immortal cultivation for millions of years. Could becoming an immortal be a scam?"

Both of them fell into silence.

.......
Ning Ruoxi returned to the cave and started chatting with Lin Shuang.

"Master, can this way of music really solve my problem of lack of love?"

Lin Shuang's cold voice came, "No."

"The Way of Music can affect people's emotions, but that is based on the existence of emotions. It cannot create emotions out of thin air. Those who practice the Way of No Emotion have only abandoned love and affection, but they still have emotions. Therefore, the Way of Music can have an impact on those who practice the Way of No Emotion."

"I see." Ning Ruoxi no longer worried about whether she could solve the problem of love. At worst, she could find another way later.
