"How about later I apologize to you, young master? What song would you like to hear? As long as it isn’t particularly difficult, I can play it." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"I can also sing, you know. Lanshan tune, Pinglan tune, and Gehead are no problem for me."

"What do you think?"

After she finished speaking, Xiangxiang completely ignored Yuchi’s thoughts. She leaned over and gave Yuchi a quick peck on the cheek, feeling quite shy afterward.

Yuchi: "..."

Oh goddess, please spare your divine powers; I’ve already been punished twice by the heavens. Do you know how terrifying it is when the heavens demand you to change your ways?

And if the disciples of my Ascension Gate didn’t see you, otherwise you’d be hanged by now. Yuchi pulled her off him.

Since there’s no way to gather information about Xiang Shaoyuan from here, maybe Xi Jiayu might be able to offer some insight? Yuchi directly asked, "So let’s not mind Xiang Shaoyuan’s matters for now. Do you perhaps have any recollection regarding the name Xi Jiayu, Miss Xiangxiang?"

Yuchi asked without much hope, realizing that since she didn’t know Xiang Shaoyuan, she probably wouldn’t know Xi Jiayu either.

But having spent money, if I don’t ask for more clues, I’d feel a bit shortchanged.

Xiangxiang, who was initially relishing Yuchi’s warm embrace and thinking of ways to handle this tough nut, suddenly grew curious as she heard Yuchi’s question and leaned closer.

Looking embarrassed, with a playful pout and tapping Yuchi’s chest with her fists, she giggled and said, "Young master, could it be that you already knew my name is Xi Jiayu, is that why you asked?"

Huh! You’re called Xi Jiayu?

"Yes, I didn’t expect that young master would know so much about me. You even claimed not to be a local, but I see you’ve been feigning an accent to seem like an outsider."

"Actually, young master, there’s no need for that. If you want me to serve you, you can just say so. Since you’ve given me gold and silver, you certainly deserve something in return. So, young master, shall we go soak in the hot spring later? We have a hot spring here, you know."

Yuchi: "..."

Goodness, is this for real? Don’t mess with me like this. What kind of luck is this? Could the Xi Jiayu I’m looking for really be this Xiangxiang in front of me? Does she have some childhood promise with Xiang Shaoyuan, for whom I came here!

And did I unknowingly embrace his childhood sweetheart?

Good grief.

I’m going to suffer divine retribution. What kind of bad luck is this?

"No, no, I’m a very lucky man. I can’t be this unlucky now; I drive cautiously and never rush. When crossing the street, I always give way to pedestrians without moving an inch."

He thought seriously.

Looking at the shy and giggling Xiangxiang in her loose pink dress, Yuchi felt he was overthinking. These are surely just two people with the same name, yes, that’s it. Otherwise, there’s no reason Xi Jiayu wouldn’t remember Xiang Shaoyuan.

Yes.

Just a name coincidence.

So Xiang Shaoyuan, my friend, whatever my intentions, I’m not trying to get involved with your childhood sweetheart. My sect is full of beautiful women, there’s really no need for me to do such a thing.

I have Yinghan.

Thinking of this, Yuchi timidly asked again, "Miss Xi, so you really don’t know Xiang Shaoyuan? Or perhaps you could broaden your view a bit, and look back into your past memories to see if someone like that ever appeared?"

Xiang Shaoyuan did leave me a letter, but its content is very limited.

When exactly did this happen? Did he even have any friends? None of this is explained, otherwise, this wouldn’t be so troublesome. But considering he’s about to die and still has such a mindset, it’s quite remarkable.

However, Yuchi still doubted that if Xiang Shaoyuan had the time to write a letter, he could just return to Songquan County, considering it’s only about seven hundred miles in a straight line for a cultivator who flies unimpeded in the sky. Seven hundred miles is just about an hour’s journey, isn’t it?

You should know Xiang Shaoyuan fell from the sky, he could clearly go up there.

Meanwhile, Xiangxiang pondered carefully for a while, trying to dig up something from her memories. As Yuchi was about to offer another prompt, she signaled him to hold off, with a smile. After all, as Xiangxiang, she had some pride, especially since the silver given had yet to be repaid. She wasn’t one to wear a "payment code" on her face.
