C17 To Survive

Jiang Xia and Mengyu's figure slowly moved further and further away. At the Spirit Martial Academy entrance stood a dazed Instructor Luo and a bunch of stunned students. Lan Mengfeng's eyes widened as a trace of astonishment flashed across her eyes.

Teacher Luo's face turned gloomy, "Hmph, how much can a blind person do?"

Half a month later, in a simple and remote house, Jiang Xia was sitting on the clean and crude bed. Both of his hands were placed on the Lishang Lyre and his greyish white pupils were dull. He sighed and muttered: "Why isn't Mengyu back yet?"

"Creak" Right after she finished speaking, a beautiful figure pushed open the door and entered the room. A happy smile hung on her pure face. "Brother Jiang Xia, do you miss me?"

"Eh?" Jiang Xia was surprised for a moment, and then jokingly scolded, "Stinky girl, when did you come back? Why didn't I hear your footsteps? "

"Hee hee." Mengyu stuck out her tongue mischievously, then walked beside Jiang Xia and sat down. She put the fruit that she just bought aside, "When I came, I heard you playing the zither, so I was listening outside!"

"So that's how it is!" Jiang Xia nodded slightly, he concentrated on playing the zither while feeling relatively less about the outside, "Mengyu, we have been in the capital for half a month and don't have much gold left. It seems that we really need to go back."

Looking at Jiang Xia's gloomy face, Mengyu frowned, a trace of heartache flashing through her heart, "Brother Jiang Xia, let's stay in the imperial city! I know you don't want to go back. "

"So what if you don't want to go back? If we do not accept your Spirit Martial Academy, you and I will not even be able to rely on ourselves. "

"I'm fine." Mengyu put her face on Jiang Xia's shoulder and said softly, "Brother Jiang Xia, when I went to buy some fruits, I saw a restaurant recruiting. I've already signed up, so I can go work somewhere so that we won't starve to death."

Jiang Xia's body trembled and he frowned, "What did you say? Who told you to make money? "

Lili was shocked by Jiang Xia's appearance and quickly comforted him, "Brother Jiang Xia, don't be in such a hurry, I'm just going there to help temporarily. I know you're angry, but I don't want to go back to the village like this, I'll support you."

"Nonsense." Jiang Xia's figure was a bit fierce and gloomy, "Mengyu, you are my fiancée, why would a man like me need you to support me? "Hrmph."

With that, Jiang Xia got off the bed, walked to the door and left the room.

"Brother Jiang Xia." Mengyu's petite face was full of grievance. She clearly felt sorry for him and did not want to see him unhappy, but she did not expect that Jiang Xia would be so angry. Tears welled up in her bright eyes.

= = =.

Jiang Xia strolled along the main street. The crowd looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. Some of them were despising him, some were disgusted by him, and some were filled with sympathy.

Jiang Xia walked very slowly. Not only were there a lot of people in the capital, the place was also very big. Even after half a month, Jiang Xia only roughly remembered a few directions.

After a moment, Jiang Xia stopped his footsteps. In front of him was a three-story tall pavilion, and on the first floor of the pavilion, there was a golden signboard, "Lyre Appreciating Pavilion". Jiang Xia sighed and murmured, "Mengyu, I will definitely feed you." He then stepped forward and carefully entered the attic.

"Hey, young master, may I ask if you're here to listen to the guqin or to look for someone?" A tall middle-aged man in a long robe came up and stopped Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia politely cupped his fist and said, "Brother, I heard from someone a few days ago that you're recruiting a zither master here, right?"

"Oh?" The man's brows twitched as he stared into Jiang Xia's eyes with interest, "You're a zither master?"

"En!" Jiang Xia nodded.

"Hur hur." The man's laugh carried a trace of contempt. "Little brother, all of the people we want here are at least second-level zither masters. I think your eyes aren't too convenient, right?"

"That's fine. Is it true or false? So what if Big Brother wants me to play a song for you?"

Looking at Jiang Xia's confident look, the man was quite convinced, "Alright, how about this! "Right now, there is still another customer on the third floor. If you are able to make her satisfied, then I will have decided to take you. If she is not satisfied, then you can't blame me."

Jiang Xia nodded, "I agree."

"Hehe, little brother has quite the spirit. Follow me." The middle-aged man led the way for Jiang Xia.

After a moment, under the guidance of the other party, Jiang Xia arrived at the third floor. Each of the rooms were covered by a curtain, forming a small stage in the middle. The stage was about the same height as a normal low table, and there was a white Five-String Lyre on the stage.

Jiang Xia felt the surrounding environment and was so quiet that there was almost no noise. He didn't even know where the so-called customer was.

"Little brother, sit down first. I'll greet the guests first, then you can begin."

"Hm!" "Big brother, thank you for your help." Jiang Xia didn't expect to be here so soon. He wasn't even prepared.

The middle-aged man walked into an elegant room and respectfully said, "My lady, this is the new zither master today. Would you like to hear his play?"

"Sure." Just from the sound of the voice, Jiang Xia felt that the other party must be an ice-cold woman.

"Yes, miss."

The middle-aged man politely bowed and left. Then, he walked in front of Jiang Xia and said softly, "Miss has already agreed. You have to perform well."

"En!" Jiang Xia nodded and let out a deep breath. His slender hands were placed on the zither strings. His fingers gently played with the strings. A soft sound began, and a smooth melody flowed out from his fingertips.

The middle-aged man's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his face revealed a trace of happiness. The girl in the room also shuddered and started to enjoy the tune that Jiang Xia played.

Jiang Xia's ten fingers moved, his eyes were tightly shut, the beautiful music contained his yearning for the outside world within the village. He finally arrived at the imperial capital, but was blocked outside the academy by someone, the pressure he was enduring turned into syllable characters.

Hope, unwillingness, resentment, the changes in the youth's heart. The middle-aged man felt a bit depressed. He was infected by Jiang Xia's zither music and felt a bit indignant.

Just when the teenager was about to be disappointed, his beloved person always supported him. Jiang Xia thought of Mengyu. She really did it for his own good, and the zither music also contained regret, pity, and regret for his attitude towards Mengyu before he left home.

Jiang Xia had released the sound of the zither from his experience for the past half month. When the song ended, he was already eager to return to Mengyu's side.

"What a good song 'Sighing the Sentences'." From behind the curtain of the private room came a soft clapping sound.

Joy gushed out of the middle-aged man's eyes. He bowed and cupped his hands, "Miss, this zither artist is indeed playing Great Master Wu Tian's' Sighing Shang '. Are you satisfied?"

"Give him 100 gold coins!"

"Yes, miss." The man quickly thanked him and instructed Jiang Xia, "Little brother, follow me downstairs!"

Jiang Xia nodded and cupped his fist towards the left, "Thank you, Miss."

After the two of them went downstairs, the curtains in the private room slowly opened. On the comfortable wide chair sat a cold and beautiful woman wearing a long blue dress.

= = =.

"Come, come, come. Little brother, you have truly made me have a whole new level of respect for you. I apologize for my previous attitude." The middle-aged man counted the 100 gold coins from the counter and handed it over to Jiang Xia. The smile on his face was in stark contrast with the smile from the very beginning.

Jiang Xia also felt that it wasn't a big deal, as people are realistic, "Yes, thank you, Big Bro."

"Hehe, little brother, you can come to my Lyre Appreciating Pavilion anytime from now on. I'll arrange the best time for you."

Jiang Xia weighed the heavy gold in his hand and then smiled: "Then thank you for your kindness, but is it inconvenient for me to come here once every ten days? Do you think that's all right? "

"Ten days?" The man frowned, but after some thought, he nodded, "Sure, no problem."

Jiang Xia agreed gratefully and said goodbye. He wanted to go back and tell Mengyu about this. Jiang Xia sighed with emotion. Rich people could spend money as they pleased. He knew that such good things didn't happen every day, but no matter what, he wouldn't let Mengyu suffer in a restaurant anymore.

Watching Jiang Xia leave, the man shook his head and muttered, "This is the first time Miss Lan Meng is satisfied!"

= = =.

Jiang Xia was really in a hurry back home. Mengyu was also anxiously waiting at the door, her large pure eyes were filled with anxiety, "Brother Jiang Xia, where are you going?"

A moment passed, an hour passed. Jiang Xia still hadn't appeared. Mengyu was so anxious that tears were about to fall from her eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that she was worried that Jiang Xia wouldn't be able to find her, she would have already gone out to look for him.

Suddenly, Mengyu felt someone was getting closer behind her. She was overjoyed and turned around, "Brother Jiang Xia."

Before she even finished speaking, the joy on Mengyu's face became bewilderment. The person in front of her was not Jiang Xia. Instead, it was a graceful young man.

"Miss, hello!" The man smiled humbly.

Mengyu frowned and became alert. "Who are you? I don't know you. "

"Miss, my name is Lan Guang. A few days ago I heard that Miss would go to Spirit Martial Academy, but I've searched the entire academy to find Miss but I still haven't seen her. Today, I've finally met you. I'm extremely happy."

The moment she heard the words "Spirit Martial Academy", the displeasure on Mengyu's face grew even more pronounced as she said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I don't know you. I'm still waiting for someone!"

"Oh? Is that so? I wonder if the young mistress is waiting for the unsightly looking man with you? "

"How do you know?" Have you seen him? " Mengyu asked anxiously.

"I didn't see it." Lan Guang was surprised. A trace of jealousy appeared in his heart. He cursed in his heart: "Hmph, what's so good about being blind?"

Mengyu was immediately at a loss. She sighed helplessly, "Oh."

"Right, may I ask Miss's name?" Lan Guang continued to smile with what he thought was an enchanting look.

A trace of impatience flashed in Mengyu's eyes. Without waiting for her to speak, she shouted, "Wife." A familiar male voice was heard. A grey-eyed youngster was looking at them with a smile on his face.

"Brother Jiang Xia." Mengyu immediately rushed towards the figure that she was worried about and hugged her tightly. "Brother Jiang Xia, I thought you were angry and ignored me."

"Silly girl." Jiang Xia lightly pinched the other party's cheek, "Such a obedient wife, how could I bear to reject her?" Jiang Xia then turned his "gaze" to Lan Guang, who had a gloomy expression, and asked with a smile, "Who is this young master?"

Lan Guang's eyes turned cold as he forcefully suppressed the jealousy in his heart, "I was just passing by."

"Oh?" Jiang Xia's handsome eyebrows twitched, "Since we're just passing by, then we'll be taking our leave!" With that, she pulled Mengyu's hand and headed back to her residence.

From the moment Jiang Xia appeared, Mengyu didn't even look at Lan Guang. Lan Guang clenched her fists and said with hatred between clenched teeth, "Brat, you dare to spoil my good fortune. Let's see if you can live a good life in the future."
