I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character

Chapter 63: Different Small Paths

“I can feel that I have recovered quite a bit, so no need to worry, big sis.”

“It still better for us to check you.”

“Yeah, just in case.”

“No need for the trouble, big sis. I really am fine. However, I gained some insights during the performance, so I have some questions about music that I would like to consult about.”

Seeing that Ye Yong emphasized that he was fine and had questions to ask, the 2 painting beauties didn’t persist and sat down beside Ye, waiting for his questions.

Yi Bai felt a bit regretful. She wanted to wipe Ye Yong’s sweat from earlier and let him sleep comfortably. But Junior Brother Ye clearly looked unwell previously, but he suddenly recovered… Could it be that his previous condition was just an act? Does he want me to take care of him? Does he actually like me? Yi Bai let her imagination run wild, and she had already thought of several names for their children and even began to think of names for their grandchildren.

“Hey, what are you giggling about? Hurry back to teach. A bunch of Golden Core Realm disciples running around and leaving Crystallization Realm disciples to maintain the scene, how ridiculous! Don’t you know it might leave a bad impression on the newly joined junior sisters?” Hua Ming scolded Yi Bai.

Yi Bai had previously used the same excuse to send away the other Golden Core disciples. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to be the only one helping Ye into his residence. Although Hua Ming was a Painting Soul, she occasionally conveyed messages for the hall master, so Yi Bai didn’t dare to defy her and quickly took her leave.

“200 years old and still can’t control her mortal heart,” Hua Ming grunted discontentedly.

Mu Qing Yin was currently controling Hua Ming with her divine senses. She glanced at Hua Xin but didn’t retort. Having lived for 600 years, Ye Yong was indeed the most surprising guy she had ever seen. Mu Qing Yin withdrew her divine senses, and Hua Ming could move freely again. She came behind Ye Yong and squeezed his shoulders. “So what did you want to ask, lil bro?”

“Big sis, you don’t need to waste soul power for me.” Ye Yong wanted to refuse Hua Ming’s massage as it was considered physical contact. He enjoyed it, but he was afraid that Mu Qing Yin would probe him with her divine soul power to do a full body checkup on him. She might have good intentions, but what if she discovers my little secret?

On top of that, the painting beauties had to use soul power in order to affect the physical world, and Ye Yong didn’t want Hua Ming to waste soul power for such a trivial matter.

“That’s really considerate, lil bro. But don’t underestimate me. In terms of soul power intensity, I’m at least in the mid-stage of Nascent Soul. Massaging your entire body for half an hour isn’t a problem for me.”

“Don’t forget about me. If you want, we can take turns.” Hua Xin added.

“Then, thank you both.” Ye Yong couldn’t refuse the goodwill of the two painting beauties. He silently bought the high-level concealment system, instantly setting the concealment level to the maximum to avoid any accidents. “During the performance, I felt…”

Ye Yong, who had [Basic Music Mastery], did gain some insights while playing spiritual music. It wasn’t just an excuse to change the topic. With professional knowledge supporting him, when he talked about those insights, both of the painted beauties’ eyes lit up. It wasn’t that they knew the answer, as it exceeded their own level, just like Ye Yong’s art skills, which had surpassed theirs after having been taught by Mu Qing Yin for a few days.

He’s young but has a high understanding of music and art. His sword intent must also be strong, as he couldn’t have imbued sword intent into the painting with it. He’s like an all rounded genius.

Mu Qing Yin listened to Ye Yon’s insights and questions and was also impressed. She felt that Ye Yong truly had astonishing talent. She answered Ye Yong’s questions through Hua Ming and gave him some guidance.

Mu Qing Yin didn’t want to restrict Ye Yong with her understanding of the Dao, so she only gave him a little bit of guidance. Sometimes it was best not to show and teach too much because everyone understood things a little differently, and realizing something through one’s own effort and thinking might be better than having things explicitly explained to them. Mu Qing Yin also didn’t want to forcibly change Ye Yong’s views on music and art based on her understanding. If that happened, then Ye Yong would walk the exact same path as her.

Of the 3000 big paths to Dao, each had endless amounts of small paths.

Mu Qing Yin and Ye Yong walked on different paths of the same Dao of Music, and she wanted it to stay that way. Only when they walk different paths could they learn from each other and make up for each other’s deficiencies. Mu Qing Yin looked forward to Ye Yong’s future.

“Thank you both for your guidance.” Ye Yong knew that it was actually Mu Qing Yin who answered his question, but he couldn’t thank her as even Yi Bai and the others didn’t know that Mu Qing Yin could perceive everything that the painting beauties perceived. They thought that the painting beauties could only complete a few tasks that Mu Qing Yin gave them.

Without a proper meeting, Ye Yong couldn’t know how much Mu Qing Yin liked him and wouldn’t get transcend points when he increased her favorability, which was a loss for him. After thinking about it, Ye Yong said to the painting beauties, “It’s been some time since I joined the sect, but I haven’t visited the hall master yet. I wonder if she’s willing to see me.”

This was not something the painting beauties could decide. They remained silent, waiting for Mu Qing Yin. Mu Qing Yin hesitated, because for her, she had been seeing Ye Yong every day for the past few days and even personally guided him. But for Ye Yong, Mu Qing Yin was someone who had always shut herself in her room, so it was normal for a new disciple to be curious about what kind of person the hall master was…

After thinking for a moment, Mu Qing Yin replied through Hua Ming. “Lil bro Ye, the hall master enjoys peace and quiet. However, if you want to go, you can give it a try. She would probably appreciate your talents and would be willing to see you.”

How to distinguish whether it was Hua Ming or Mu Qing Yin speaking? It was very simple. Ye Yong noticed a small detail. With Hua Ming’s enthusiastic personality, after getting along for a few days, she was already calling Ye Yong her “lil bro”. In order to maintain Hua Ming’s image, Mu Qing Yin would also call Ye Yong “lil bro” whenever she talked through Hua Ming, but with “Ye” at the end.

Mu Qing Yin and the painting beauties probably didn’t even notice this small detail themselves.

“I see.” Ye Yong understood that it meant that Mu Qing Yin had agreed to meet. “What should I prepare to meet the hall master? Big sis, do you have any recommendations?”

“Why does a disciple need to prepare gifts when meeting a hall master? On the contrary, with your amazing talent, she should be the one to gift you something.”

“That’s right.”

“How could a disciple unilaterally receive gifts? It’s inappropriate.” In fact, Ye Yong knew what Mu Qing Yin liked from reading the novel, but he couldn’t just give her something that she liked.

“Since lil bro Ye is so insistent… the hall master likes poetry, painting, and books. Just pick one.”

“Okay, let me carefully think and prepare.” Seeing that it was quite late, Ye Yong said to the painting beauties, “Let me send you two back, big sis.”

“What, already driving big sis away? You have a date tonight?” Hua Ming squinted her eyes.

“Oh, no. I just feel that if big sis stays here for a long time, others might spread bad rumors. While I don’t mind, big sis are the hall master’s creations. If you suffer damage to your reputation because of me, which may affect the hall master… I would feel guilty.”

This answer satisfied Mu Qing Yin. She remained silent, leaving it to Hua Ming and Hua Xin to respond as they pleased.

“Don’t worry, no one will dare to spread rumors.” Hua Ming laughed lightly. In the eyes of those cultivators, they were like evil spirits. Who would dare to speak ill of us? They probably haven’t experienced social embarrassment.

“Let us stay here for the night. Big sis wants to see how you usually live.” Hua Xin said.

“It’s just meditation and cultivation, nothing interesting. But if big sis is interested, then I naturally won’t refuse.” Originally, before Wu Xue went into seclusion, he promised her that he would hug her and sleep with her tonight. As Lil Huan had lived there for the past 4 days, Wu Xue was too embarrassed to mention such a request and even reduced her physical contact with Ye Yong. She was already feeling quite suffocated from holding back for so long.

However, it looks like a certain little cutie who gets out of seclusion tonight would not only become unhappy when she sees the two painting beauties and a broken, but she would also get jealous.
