Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 167 1 Qu Jianjia

You know what, Meng Xianyu was really amazed.

Yufan: “How is it?”

Meng Xianyu: "Well, it looks good."

Yufan: "If you don't want to wear it, just give it to someone else. Acacia will eventually meet its owner."

Meng Xianyu: "Yeah, well, I'll accept it with reluctance."

Although the name Xiangsi is not pleasant, it is similar to the name of Rumeng Guqin. It seems that both have unknown secrets.

Maybe it's God's will.

Meng Xianyu didn't act pretentiously. In front of the two of them, she put the Acacia Sword into the space ring.

Anyway, the space ring in her hand was given to her by the high priest, so there was nothing to hide.

Yufan smiled and asked her to start the performance.

Meng Xianyu didn't know why Yufan was so happy.

Although his expression was not that exaggerated, Meng Xianyu and Coral Guardian both caught the joy that could not be concealed in his eyes.

In fact, the guardian Yufan was saying goodbye to the Acacia Sword and its original owner.

From today on, he and Xiang Sijian will start over and embark on a new journey.

No one knew that the original owner of the Acacia Sword was supposed to be his wife who had not yet married him. But that woman died at the age of 15.

Neither the woman nor her parents knew that Yufan was the person their family was looking for.

Yufan and her were originally betrothed by their parents. Yufan and her fiancée had met since childhood. The parents of both parties only communicated through letters. Therefore, the girl's parents had never met Yufan.

Something happened in Yufan's family and he was later rescued by the high priest.

His original name was not Yufan, but Yunfan. But perhaps no one remembers the name Yunfan anymore.

Yufan approached their family because of a mission.

Without knowing it, Yufan became close friends with the girl's father and even swore them to be brothers. This is simply a huge joke.

From that day on, there was no turning back.

Yufan entered the world of that woman as her younger uncle.

It was destined to end in tragedy from the beginning.

Yufan accidentally discovered that the woman had the same jade pendant as him, and only then did he learn of her identity.

But he couldn't tell the truth until he completed the mission.

After the woman died, her parents became ill with longing for their daughter and passed away one after another. Until the end, they did not know Yufan's true identity.

After completing his mission, Yufan avenged the poor woman.

Then he left the place, and the only thing he took away was the Acacia Sword.

He took the Acacia Sword away just as a thought.

The Acacia Sword always reminded him that he had let down a good woman.

He didn't like the woman and he never thought of fulfilling his promise.

He just wanted to cancel their engagement after completing the mission. He wanted her to have a good home.

If given the chance, he would not tell the other person his true identity.

He would make up a story to make their family think Yunfan was dead.

And he will always be that woman's uncle.

He used his family's connections to successfully approach his target.

But when he completed the task, the woman was accidentally killed.

If it weren't for his deliberate approach, perhaps their family would have lived a dull life.

But his appearance led the three of them to a dead end.

If he hadn't appeared, the woman's identity as a pure yin body would never have been exposed.

Before he appeared, she was just an ordinary person and had never thought about practicing. It was because of Yufan that she began to want to practice.

The reason their family is so low-key is that they want to keep it a secret.

But as soon as she starts practicing, her secrets can no longer be hidden.

This was the only mistake Yufan made in all these years.

After that, he became quieter and more cautious.

There are many things we cannot look back on, we can only move forward.

At that time, the woman was about the same age as Meng Xianyu. It was the best time for innocence. I don't know why, but she always liked to pester him. Maybe it was because they were of the same age, or maybe they were destined to be together.

Although Yufan didn't mind her approach, he never showed any real feelings for her. They were uncle and nephew, not lovers.

Yufan only owes her.

Yufan is the only one in the world who knows the truth, and he will keep this past forever.

Now that the sword has been given away, let's just treat it as a dream.

Before Meng Xianyu appeared, Yufan had never thought of giving Xiangsi away.

It was not until Meng Xianyu resolved the misunderstanding with him and made him suddenly enlightened that he had this idea.

It's just that there has never been a suitable opportunity.

Although this time was a bit embarrassing, he still sent Acacia away as he wished.

He had no other intention, he just wanted to give it to her.

Because Meng Xianyu, like her, is a very brave woman. They have a kind of strength that makes people admire them.

If she were still alive, she would be like Meng Xianyu, a sunny, cheerful and helpful woman.

Meng Xianyu: "This sword box is very special! The material is unusual, it seems that the wood exudes a faint fragrance. The patterns carved on the box are also unusual."

Yufan didn't expect Meng Xianyu to be so careful and actually discovered it.

This sword box was made by him himself.

To him, this sword was pure as ice and jade, just like that woman. And this sword box was the coffin he made for her with his own hands.

The pattern engraved on it is the ice flower unique to the north.

The scene of the woman being murdered flashed through Yufan’s mind.

Her spiritual roots were dug out, and her heart was hollowed out. There was a huge hole in her chest. Even her dantian was left behind.

Her broken body was divided into several pieces and could not be put together into a complete corpse.

There was a finger-wide hole on her forehead and her eyes were gouged out.

Her clothes were tattered and her body was covered in blood. It was hard to believe what she had been through.

Wild dogs tried to tear her broken limbs and arms, and her father fought with the beasts that tried to get close to her body.

Her mother sat beside her, tidying her hair and wiping the blood off her face.

Even Yufan couldn't hide his shock at such a bloody scene.

Later, Yufan captured all those who harmed her and left them to be eaten by jackals and wild dogs.

Yufan's hands were covered in blood, but he could not bring back the lives of the family of three.

Yufan can't do much for their family. Even if he does more, it won't make up for it.

He carved this box for the woman with his own hands during a sleepless night.

Yufan: "Nanmu"

Meng Xianyu: "I like sandalwood. I wonder if there is a box with sandalwood scent."

Yufan: "What do you use it for?"

Meng Xianyu: "I want a guitar case to store my guitar!"

Shanhu: "It's hard to find a guitar case, but you should be able to find a guitar bag. Miss Meng, why don't you choose a suitable guitar bag first and think of a way to find the guitar case later."

Yufan: "I can help you find out."

Meng Xianyu: "Okay then, if you find it, keep it for me."

Yufan: “Okay”

Yufan didn't tell Meng Xianyu that he made this box himself. If Meng Xianyu liked it, he could make one for her. But he didn't know if he would have the chance to give it to her.

Yufan hopes that Meng Xianyu can leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, but he also hopes that they will have a chance to meet again in the future.

I don't know why, but Yufan feels that they will definitely meet again. I just don't know whether they will be enemies or friends when they meet again.

Meng Xianyu: "Okay, I've received the reward. What kind of music do you want to listen to?"

Yufan: “As you wish”

Meng Xianyu: "Is there any type of Coral Guardian you would like to hear?"

Coral: “It’s all right.”

Meng Xianyu: "I really don't like you guys, you want to listen but don't say what you want to hear."

Meng Xianyu thought about it and then started to sing a slightly modified version of "Jiang Jia".

Reeds grow thick and white dew turns to frost...

Meng Xianyu remembered a song called "On the Other Side of the Water", which seemed to be based on the lyrics and music of "Jian Jia".

The lyrics of "在水一方" are more modern, while she directly used the original lyrics of "蒹葭".

Meng Xianyu didn't know why she sang this song. She just suddenly thought of this song.

Yufan and Shanhu were both fascinated by what she said. Meng Xianyu convinced them as soon as she opened her mouth.

Especially Yufan, he seemed to see that woman. She was standing on the bank of a river, waving goodbye to him with a smile on her face. Yufan's eyes were a little wet.

After the song ended, the two of them were still immersed in it.

Meng Xianyu was the first to notice something was wrong. She turned to look at the door and saw someone standing there.

Meng Xianyu: "Come back"

There was some surprise in Meng Xianyu's voice.

She turned and walked towards the door.

Shanhu and Yufan finally came to their senses.

When the two saw who was coming, they stood up immediately.

Zhuji: “Yeah, I’m back.”

Zhuji was replying to Meng Xianyu, but his eyes were looking at Shanhu and Yufan.

Yufan: "Brother, can you please talk to me for a moment?"

Zhuji: "No hurry, you guys come out first"

Guardians Yufan and Coral nodded obediently and were about to go out immediately.

Meng Xianyu: "What are you doing here?"

Shanhu walked up to Meng Xianyu and pulled her out.

Meng Xianyu came out in a daze.

Shanhu: "Brother, let's take Miss Meng for a walk. When you're done, send someone to call us."

Meng Xianyu: "Where are you going?"

Before Meng Xianyu could figure out what was going on, Zhu Ji closed the door.

Meng Xianyu: "Why is this person like this? He clearly promised me..."

Yufan: "Ms. Meng, I'll take you to a good place first. Brother will be back soon. We'll be back later. Sorry for the inconvenience."

Before Meng Xianyu could figure out what was going on, she was taken away by the guardian Yufan.

Meng Xianyu almost screamed out.

Yufan grabbed Meng Xianyu's arm and took her out.

The coral guardian followed closely behind.

Yufan usually ran very fast, but today he deliberately slowed down, because he was worried that Meng Xianyu would be scared, and Shanhu would not be able to keep up.
