The Smiling Flower (Part 1): Transmitting a Sound Across a Thousand Miles
The eighteenth year of the Xingguo reign of Emperor Taizu of Song
Ya'an, Sichuan
The summer sun was already blazing in the morning, but the lush trees on both sides of Bifeng Gorge remained verdant under the scorching sun, swaying gently in the breeze blowing from the depths of the gorge.
The wispy clouds did not dissipate due to the sun's heat; they drifted by like silk threads in the breeze, seemingly there yet not there.
The verdant green, the pale white, interspersed with the vibrant colors of wildflowers, create a dreamlike and ethereal scene, like a divine realm.
Amidst the breathtakingly beautiful and ethereal landscape of mountains and clouds, the hems of the long robes of the five men in black fluttered in the wind, sometimes still and sometimes still, complementing their imposing physiques and displaying an eerie and imposing aura.
Their leader—a handsome man in a dark blue brocade robe—had a face so cold that even the sunlight lost its warmth.
He gazed at the continuous white figures on the opposite side of the bottomless canyon, and his lips twitched.
Especially striking were the two figures, one in white and the other in pale yellow, seated on armchairs placed on a makeshift bamboo platform. Too far away to make out their features, only their celestial bearing could be vaguely discerned through the clouds.
The white-clad figure waved his hand, and the hundred-strong group beneath him roared in unison:
"If you've got the guts, then hurry up and call... or my brother-in-law and his family will be here soon..."
The shouts of a hundred men echoed through the valleys and peaks, creating a powerful and impressive sound. But the man in the dark blue brocade robe became even more stiff. He stretched his neck and let out a howl, his voice alone, generated by his profound inner strength, drowning out the entire hundred-man group.
He was filled with grief and indignation: "Juxin, why, why did you marry a man who can't even transmit his voice across a thousand miles... a... a man?" His sorrowful voice echoed through the deep canyon and wilderness, making people feel sorry for him.
"I...can't...do...anything...? Even if...you...are...deaf...you...can't...hear...what...I...said...clearly...?"
“Juxin! In terms of talent and martial arts, I am on par with your two senior brothers. In terms of reputation and power, I am not inferior to them either. Why did you choose him... him... him…”
"Why...why...don't...say...that...in...appearance...even...disfigured...I'm...still...better...than...you..."
"When a powerful enemy attacks, this man will only ask you to protect him! He will only hide behind you! To protect his wife and daughter, he can only ask other men who admire you for help. Are you willing to follow him...?...?..."
“You…don’t…have…disgusting…heart…to…me! My…martial…skills…are…not…high…but…I…never…hide…behind…my…wife…you…have…taken…your…treasure…and…are…coveting…my…wife…and…you…have…shameless…saying…this…thing?…Damn…you…you…are…so…cheap…I…am…a…little…admiration…of…you…you……”
"Xiao Mingyu, if I, Gao Tianjing, don't tear you to pieces, I'll be unworthy of the title 'Soaring Eagle'... Eagle... Eagle..."
"You...you...just...look...like...an...eagle...aren't...you...trying...to...steal...my...money...from...me...and...you...Chrysanthemum...Sister...from...on...the...funeral...using...silver...notes...to...light...and...fire...your...heart...would...break...you...you..."
"Xiao Mingyu, you underestimate me! Who wants your money? I want the Xiao family's secret treasure... treasure... treasure..."
“You…keep…dreaming…I…and…my…beloved…wife…have…gone…back…as long…you…have…passed…Chrysanthemum…Fairy…anything…can…be…discussed… ...
The servants had already carried Xiao Mingyu and Li Juxin down the mountain, but at Xiao Mingyu's i
