Chapter 18 Zither Calls Ming Xue (Part 3)_1

Ye Yinzhu said indifferently, "I don't know what you should do. If you truly like her, you should send her back, let her return to her parents and live a happy life, instead of restricting her freedom. That's all I have to say, you figure it out. I'm leaving." Having said that, he turned and walked toward the dormitory without looking back.

"Wait a minute." Yue Ming hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Yinzhu's sleeve. "Can you, can you help me wake up Ming Xue first? If, if she really wishes to return to her parents, then I will let her go." Saying these words seemed to drain all of her strength, her eyes filling with reluctance, but that resoluteness showed Ye Yinzhu the kindness in her heart.

Seeing Yue Ming's anxious expression, Ye Yinzhu's heart softened a bit. "I really don't know how to wake Ming Xue. I heard isn't your grandfather the chairman of the Milan Mage's Guild? Doesn't he have a way?"

Yue Ming nodded and said, "Grandfather also said he couldn't do it. He doesn't understand why Ming Xue has fallen into a deep sleep. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to find you. Grandfather said that since this happened during a fair competition, he won't help me and told me to solve it myself by finding you."

Although he had never met Yue Ming's grandfather, Ye Yinzhu felt a respect for him rise within him. However, when he thought about how Yue Ming's grandfather tore Ming Xue's family apart just to make his granddaughter happy, any goodwill immediately vanished.

"How about this, is there a way for Ming Xue to hear the outside world?"

"It's possible. When I summon her, it's like I'm opening a channel to this world."

Ye Yinzhu said, "You open the channel, and I'll try awakening her with the sound of my zither. If it doesn't work, then there's nothing more I can do. However, you have to remember what you just said, let Ming Xue go home."

Sitting cross-legged, he took out Haiyue Qinhui from his Space Ring and placed it horizontally on his knees, nodding to Yue Ming. Although he wasn't certain, Ye Yinzhu faintly felt that his zither music might have a special connection with Ming Xue.

Yue Ming drew in the air with her right hand, and a flash of yellow magic light was instantly released. A dark blue Magic Hexagram appeared out of nowhere. "Appear, my partner, Ming Xue."

The cold magic fluctuations failed to bring Ming Xue before her, and at that moment, Ye Yinzhu's eight fingers were already moving gracefully, and the deep, humming sound of the zither notes quietly emerged. As the melody started, the ethereal harmonics immersed the listener in a world of rippling blue waves and swirling mists. The soft and distant zither music carried a profound sense, drifting toward the dark blue Magic Hexagram under Ye Yinzhu's deliberate control.

This was a piece from "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud," which belonged to the Éclat Émotionnel category among the eight greatest techniques in zither music. By resonating spiritually to meld emotion with the melody, the profound and melancholic piece was chosen by Ye Yinzhu specifically for Ming Xue, who was an Undead Magical Beast.

The divine music, with its scattering, slow, moderate, fast, and scattering tempos, produced a myriad of sensations through the lighthearted harmonics. Even Yue Ming, who wasn't the target of the zither's emotional impact, couldn't help but be moved by "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud." She thought to herself that losing to him in the competition wasn't a matter of luck; the rich emotional power in his zither music seemed to be even stronger than Spiritual Magic. And he was only "Red-rank"!

Ye Yinzhu was now completely immersed in the zither music, with the strings of the zither resonating in harmony with his heartstrings. Yue Ming waited anxiously, but the dark blue Hexagram remained motionless. Opening such a channel wouldn't be a problem for a short time, but it would continue to deplete her magic power. What to do if Ming Xue still didn't appear before her magic power was exhausted...

When the "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud" piece concluded, it was also the moment Yue Ming's magic power was exhausted. The dark blue Hexagram disappeared in her unwillingness, but Ming Xue had still not appeared.

"It didn't work?" Yue Ming looked at Ye Yinzhu, her eyes filled with the light of disappointment.

Ye Yinzhu gave a slight smile, shook his head at her, and said, "Don't worry. Although I couldn't awaken Ming Xue, I now understand what's happening. You should be happy for Ming Xue."

Yue Ming was startled, "Happy? What exactly happened to Ming Xue?"

Ye Yinzhu said, "Perhaps it was the stimulation from my zither piece 'A Touch Of Ghost' that day that caused Ming Xue, as a growable magical beast, to evolve prematurely. But the sudden evolution made her body not fully formed. That's why she needs time to rest, to let all her abilities evolve successfully."

Yue Ming's heart stirred, and only then did she remember that at the end of the battle that day, Ming Xue's body seemed to have grown a bit. Hearing Ye Yinzhu's explanation, her mood relaxed considerably. "If that's really the case, then that's wonderful. But can your zither really cause magical beasts to evolve? Grandfather said Ming Xue would need at least another year to evolve to level five!"

Ye Yinzhu gave a wry smile and said, "I don't know why that happened either, maybe it was just a coincidence. All right, I have to go."

"Ye Yinzhu." Yue Ming stopped him, her eyes showing a somewhat difficult expression.

"What's wrong?"

Yue Ming sighed, "Please don't tell anyone about what happened today, okay? Especially those words you said to me. I promise you, after Ming Xue wakes up, I will send her back to her parents during the school holidays this year. But my family mustn't know about this, grandfather would never agree."

Ye Yinzhu smiled, a sincere smile from the heart, and nodded to Yue Ming, "I won't tell anyone. Ming Xue will definitely be very happy to know you're willing to let her go home."

Yue Ming seemed to gather her courage, "Ye Yinzhu, can you come with me to send Ming Xue back when the time comes? I—I've never traveled across the continent before, I'm..." She was somewhat afraid but was too embarrassed to say it outright. The words Ye Yinzhu had said earlier struck her heart deeply. Even though she practiced Dark Demon Magic, she had the pure heart of an innocent young girl, pure and kind-hearted, which made her realize Ming Xue's situation after being enlightened by Ye Yinzhu. She, like Ye Yinzhu, had spent most of her life in the cultivation of magic, which accounted for her current achievements. At this moment, Ye Yinzhu, who had just lectured her, was regarded by her as a mentor figure.

"Okay. That's a good thing, I will definitely help you," Ye Yinzhu agreed without any hesitation.

When Ye Yinzhu returned to the dormitory, he found that there were three visitors, and due to the small space in the work-study dormitory, all three guests were waiting outside, and Sura was gone.

"Yin Zhu, where have you been?" Nina seemed a bit impatient waiting, while Haiyang and Xiang Luan stood behind her, their gazes now all focused on Ye Yinzhu.

"Granny Nina, why are you here? I was just chatting with a classmate. Is there something you need?" Ye Yinzhu hurried forward, his gaze sweeping past the two women behind Nina and then settling on the head of the department.

Nina huffed, "Pack your things and come with me. I've arranged a new dormitory for you."

"Ah? Granny Nina, there's no need. I'm quite happy living here," said Ye Yinzhu. It wasn't that he was declining; although the work-study dormitory was small, living there with Sura made him very happy, especially the care and warmth Sura provided, which satisfied him greatly.
