Night Without End

Rui City, large snowflakes dance in the wind.

On the glazed windows, frost flowers are inlaid, inside the house, a small red clay stove emits a warm glow, and the warmed wine is already rising with a rich aroma.

Wu Yaizu smiled and said, "Come, Brother Ming, 'Facade'; and Brother Wu, 'Backboard'; plus me, 'Lintel'; let's three 'Gates' brothers drink a toast."

Change a person to call Xiang Yiwu a backboard, he would definitely practice the Tathagata Palm on the spot.

As for now, he rather casually raised his glass and didn't mind.

Moonlight Tower, one of the three famous towers in Da Rui Capital City.

It is located by the Spirit Lake, standing on the tower, one can overlook the lake surface dyed with Golden Radiance, and the night blending with the shimmering waves, also able to behold the grand view of the entire city.

This was the place chosen by Wu Yaizu, recently, he traveled the world, entering and exiting famous cities, he has quite the research on fine wine and beautiful scenery.

"How about it, isn't this 'Moonlight Wine' great?" Xiao Wu shook the green porcelain cup, the amber liquid inside, under the reflection of the stove's fire, emitted a golden sparkle and was also filled with an intoxicating aroma.

"Not bad." Qin Ming nodded.

Soon after, the three mentioned the exorbitant ticket price of Jinguang Cave, and all sighed, twenty thousand Day Gold per ticket, really got them stumped.

"It's really outrageous." Xiang Yiwu said, the most critical thing is, he felt this was a scam.

Qin Ming had come through life and death, yet now he only had over ten thousand Day Gold on him.

Of course, he had invisible assets, for instance, selling a Miracle Technique, someone would surely be willing to pay a high price for it.

Wu Yaizu said, "Brother Wu, you're a Reaching Enlightenment Disciple, haven't you managed to pull some strings? With your status, you should be able to enter Jinguang Cave directly, right?"

Xiang Yiwu drank the fine wine in the green porcelain cup and said, "I asked, an Elder said, it's not urgent now, let me wait a bit longer, and strive for another Golden Body Nirvana."

Qin Ming hearing this, inquired, "Isn't there some deep meaning behind this?"

Xiang Yiwu shook his head and said, "Not really, he is exceedingly cautious by nature, many people behind his back call him Elder Ximei, whenever there's any slight sign of danger, he always flees first out of courtesy."

Wu Yaizu said, "Either we jump into the pit directly, or wait a bit longer, forget it, let's drink first."

Subsequently, he clapped his hands, and immediately a waiter entered the room, asking if he needed anything.

"We have wine, no music, it's too monotonous, please invite the best musician here, also, the dancers of Moonlight Tower are quite famous, go choose a group to bring over."

"Alright!" The waiter was about to turn around.

Qin Ming stopped him and said, "A musician is enough."

Xiao Wu said, "One must enjoy life to the fullest, even though life rushes by in hundreds of years, even Earth Immortals and Heavenly Gods have a day when their lifespan ends, no living being can outlast the sun and moon. Brother Ming, don't just focus on cultivation, you and I are almost becoming ascetics, relax a bit."

At his request, dancers also arrived.

Wu Yaizu added, "In fact, even the sun and moon have disappeared, till now no reason is known. The long night drags on, the entire world's eventual fate is unknown, everything must be taken lightly."

Xiang Yiwu nodded and said, "Makes sense, there should be music, dance, and also song."

Moments later, a group of graceful women entered in single file.

Twelve dancing girls spun lightly, long sleeves fluttering like butterflies, red string and silver bells tied at their ankles, producing melodious sounds as they moved.

Two singing girls both wore warm yellow skirts, embroidered with double lotus patterns, pearl chains entwined their snow-white wrists, their voices clear and melodious, like jade colliding.

Qin Ming's expression turned serious, he did not appreciate the song and dance, but focused on the musician, quietly sitting there, easily overlooked.

However, once Qin Ming opened the Newborn's Eye, the perception was entirely different, seeing through her true looks, surprisingly she was an exceptionally beautiful woman, with a faint smile hanging on her jade-like face.

She gently played the guqin, a barely perceptible light mist curling around, capable of affecting a person's state of mind, at least Xiang Yiwu and Wu Yaizu seemed to be dazed, completely ignoring her.

The reason Qin Ming focused on her was because he suddenly sensed that this girl was investigating him using inscrutable means.

Especially now, she barely concealed it, forming a dreamy world with the sound of the guqin and light mist, creating her own small universe.

She smiled slightly and said, "I mean no harm."

As she spoke, the surrounding people didn't react much, the guqin sound and light mist surrounded them as if they were beyond the room.

"Who are you?" Qin Ming asked.

"Pei Qingwu." She reported her name.

Qin Ming confirmed, never having heard of her.

A woman in a black dress lightly smiled, "I heard two months ago, you had insights while watching a page of true scripture from Pu Gong on Spirit Lake, I was quite surprised, so I came to see."

Qin Ming realized, in the light mist, she had already begun Divine Travel.

A little figure identical to her sat quietly on the side's green sandalwood table, where miniature tea sets and cushions were placed, inviting Qin Ming to come over for a chat.

Qin Ming found it strange, so close by, didn't anyone else notice? How could this light mist and guqin sound be so Divine? Seemingly able to isolate everything.

What is this woman's background? She seems very formidable.

Qin Ming was not afraid, secretly carrying the Mysterious Iron Small Sword, Divine Travel to sit opposite her.

Pei Qingwu poured tea and said, "That page of true scripture, even an Earth Immortal can only gain from it through hard practice, how did you achieve your remarkable perception, did you really grasp the basics from mere comprehension?"

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "The true scripture's depth is endless, I only scratched the surface, it's nothing much."

Pei Qingwu, when not smiling, was pure and unworldly, with a slight smile, her whole being seemed illuminated, possessing an enchanting charm, embodying two completely different temperaments.
