Chapter 1350: Apology at the Door

Under Qingyan's suggestion, Qiu Baiyi regained confidence; she had studied music in her youth.

Although not loud, playing a few guqin pieces is no problem.

Back then, she took it up out of interest, but Qiu Baiyi found herself unsuited to the path of music, so she eventually gave it up.

After finding a decent-quality guqin, Qiu Baiyi and Qingyan headed straight for Ye Zhangqing's dong fu.

At that moment, inside the dong fu, Ye Zhangqing lay on the bed, having taken healing pills; his injuries had partially recovered, and Li Tie Niu was applying medicine to him.

"Boss, how did you get like this? Did you start a fight with the Valley Master?"

While applying the medicine, Li Tie Niu asked doubtfully.

You were fine before; how did your waist suddenly break?

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing's face turned dark, and he replied angrily.

"That woman is poisonous; I knew she had no good intentions."

"Huh? You really fought?"

"Society's affairs—don't pry."

"Oh, big brother, what is society?"

"Don't pry."

A massage could break his waist—Ye Zhangqing fears he might be the first in history; it's mainly because of this woman Qiu Baiyi—I never expected her to be so ruthless.

He wasn't given any chance to react—crack, it snapped.

Just as Li Tie Niu had finished applying the medicine, a voice came from outside—Li Tie Dan's.

"Big brother, the Valley Master has come, saying she wants to apologize."

"Huh???"

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing's face instantly darkened—apologize? Or are you here to give him a finishing blow?

Without a second thought, Ye Zhangqing directly refused.

"Don't see them; tell them to leave, just say I'm fine............"

"Zhangqing, I really didn't mean it; it was just a fluke—I'll never do it again."

Before Ye Zhangqing could finish speaking, Qiu Baiyi had already entered with Qingyan; obviously, Li Tie Dan couldn't stop this woman.

Seeing Qiu Baiyi with an apologetic expression, Ye Zhangqing's face darkened; his waist still ached faintly, and he said nothing.

"Valley Master, I truly don't need an apology, and I don't blame you—if you're fine, just leave quickly, okay?"

Ye Zhangqing sincerely doesn't want any apology; he only wants to quickly obtain that imperial-grade transmission talisman, then see if he can contact the people of Yun Xiantai.

Then have them come rescue him, so he can leave this damned place as soon as possible.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's look of disdain, Qiu Baiyi's eyes instantly reddened, but she forced herself to speak.

"Zhangqing, I know I was at fault just now; although I didn't mean it, I know it's because of me that you got hurt."

"I want to give you something to express my apology; you don't lack anything, but I studied some music in my youth—how about I play a piece for you as a gift?"

Having said that, Qiu Baiyi looked at Ye Zhangqing with a pitiful, beseeching expression.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing felt helpless; this woman wouldn't leave, and he couldn't do anything—what could he do if he couldn't beat her?

Moreover, just playing a piece should be fine—it's not a massage, as long as there's no physical contact.

Thinking this, Ye Zhangqing nodded helplessly.

"All right, but you may only play the guqin—nothing else."

"Okay, okay, I definitely won't do anything else."

Seeing Ye Zhangqing nod, Qiu Baiyi immediately nodded excitedly; as long as Ye Zhangqing accepts her apology, that's enough—she had truly been frightened just now, worried that Ye Zhangqing would ignore her thereafter.

Having obtained Ye Zhangqing's permission, Qiu Baiyi said to Qingyan and Li Tie Niu.

"You go out first."

This is a hard-won chance to be alone with Zhangqing; how could she let outsiders disturb them?

Hearing this, Qingyan obediently withdrew from the room; as for Li Tie Niu, although reluctant, he had no choice—he dared not defy Qiu Baiyi.

Qiu Baiyi is kind to Ye Zhangqing, but her temper isn't as good toward others.

After glancing at Ye Zhangqing and seeing him nod slightly, Li Tie Niu also withdrew from the room.

Immediately, Qiu Baiyi waved her hand, and the door slammed shut; moreover, this woman actually set up a prohibition around the room.

Only the two of them remained; Qiu Baiyi stepped forward toward Ye Zhangqing.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing panicked at once.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm playing the guqin for you to listen to."

"Why are you walking over here while playing the guqin?"

"I want to sit by the bedside and play for you to hear."

"Huh???"

Watching Qiu Baiyi approach ever closer, Ye Zhangqing hurriedly called a halt.

"No need; just sit on the futon and play—I can hear you."

"You still want to sit by the bed? You're joking."

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's firm attitude, Qiu Baiyi felt a bit disappointed but did not insist.

After all, she came to apologize; her heart full of remorse, Qiu Baiyi obediently sat on the futon.

The guqin was also taken out from the space ring and placed on the table before her.

Seeing that Qiu Baiyi did not insist on sitting by the bed, Ye Zhangqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at her standing seven or eight meters away—this distance should be safe.

Although Qiu Baiyi's cultivation level means that not only seven or eight meters, even seven or eight li would be but an instant for her.

But this woman probably won't use force, right?

As long as there's no physical contact, that should be fine.

Ye Zhangqing thought so in his heart, yet he dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest.

His gaze stayed fixed on Qiu Baiyi, and under Ye Zhangqing's stare, Qiu Baiyi's face flushed slightly.

This was also her first time playing the qin in front of a man, so she inevitably felt a bit embarrassed.

"Zhangqing, this is my first time playing the qin in front of others; if I play any part poorly, you........"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't say anything; just play well and don't do anything else."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing quickly said.

Whether it's good or bad doesn't matter; as long as you don't do anything else, I'll tolerate it even if it's unpleasant.

Ye Zhangqing didn't care whether it sounded good or not; hearing this, Qiu Baiyi blushed, nodded, and slowly placed her hands on the strings.

The last time she played the qin seemed to be over twenty years ago.

Moreover, that time was because she had drunk alcohol, was bored, so she played a piece, with no one else present—it was just for her own enjoyment.

But now she is going to play for the person she likes; although Qiu Baiyi told Ye Zhangqing not to mind, she still hopes to show her best side to him.

So that he can see her best side, genuinely like her qin sound, and feel that her qin sound is still acceptable.

Rather than just playing a piece perfunctorily and leaving.

So, before beginning, Qiu Baiyi felt somewhat torn, wondering what piece to choose.

She doesn't know many pieces to begin with, and wanting to pick one that suits her feelings from among them makes it even harder.

After thinking it over, suddenly Qiu Baiyi recalled a piece she had long forgotten; this piece was just right for her and Ye Zhangqing.
