Feng Xingzhi's hand tightened slightly. He was a bit nervous.
Ji Yunxi patted his hand in return. "Azhi, relax. It'll be okay."
"But they seem too serious."
"This is the Bamboo Elegance Tower's own defense system. Since the dancers in the tower are all stunningly beautiful and from music workshops, it's hard to guarantee they won't catch the eye of lecherous men. Some people are willing to spend money, but the Bamboo Elegance Tower never does such business."
Ji Yunxi felt pity. "If ordinary women enter the music register, they'll probably never be associated with innocence again. However, everyone in the world knows that the girls in the Bamboo Elegance Tower are all clean and make a living by dancing."
Qing Xuan suddenly understood. "Oh! I get it. Those who can't have them develop dirty thoughts. To protect these dancers from harm, that's why the security is so strict?"
Ji Yunxi nodded with a smile. "That's right. Someone even once hired a martial arts organization to rob the dancers. These girls in green clothes are all guards of the Bamboo Elegance Tower, responsible for the safety of the singers and dancers. If they detect any abnormalities, they'll kill without mercy."
Qing Xuan immediately shivered. Hadn't he just caught their attention?
He quickly stood up and bowed outside to show his apology.
Ji Yunxi glanced at him and shook her head helplessly. Only when he sat down obediently did she look away.
"It seems that not all music workshops in the world are the same..."
Ji Yunxi seemed to think of something, and her tone was a bit sad. "If it weren't for necessity, wouldn't they rather be innocent young ladies in the boudoir?"
Lu Shu had been looking at Ji Yunxi. He felt that there were still many secrets about her. For example, she had always shown familiarity with the Bamboo Elegance Tower.
It wasn't just common knowledge. She even knew some obscure things, as if she had once been a member here.
"Master, why are you so familiar with the things here?"
Ji Yunxi was stunned. She knew that Lu Shu was always sharp, but she didn't expect him to notice so quickly.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you later. But there's no need for the Bamboo Elegance Tower to be so on guard. Maybe you'll be friends in the future."
Accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo music, a dancer slowly descended from the sky. She was dressed in light blue, which set off the red of the flames and instead appeared brilliant and gentle.
She had a beautiful face, a kind of beauty that was unforgettable at a glance. Her figure was graceful. As she twisted with the music, it made people feel peaceful but not vulgar.
The surrounding gauze curtains set off her graceful dancing. She not only danced on the high platform on the first floor but could also stay in the air. Her wrists were weak yet she could raise them high, and her body was light as she moved back and forth. She was comparable to the beautiful Zhao Feiyan.
Even Lu Shu and Qing Xuan, who had seen many beautiful women, were stunned on the spot and couldn't take their eyes off.
Ji Yunxi subconsciously looked at Feng Xingzhi, wanting to see if he would also be fascinated. But she found that his expression was cold, as if no one was in his eyes.
"Azhi, isn't her dance good?"
"No."
Feng Xingzhi frowned slightly. He had a strange feeling but couldn't put it into words. It seemed that he had seen this scene before.
But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember.
Could it be that what he had forgotten was the time he spent with Ji Yunxi in the Bamboo Elegance Tower?
After Ji Yunxi asked this question, she looked at Qing Xuan and Lu Shu, who were already fascinated. She leaned close to Feng Xingzhi's ear. "Azhi, since you don't want to watch either, let's go."
"Where to?"
"To find someone."
By the time Qing Xuan and Lu Shu came to their senses, Feng Xingzhi and Ji Yunxi were no longer in the private room.
Qing Xuan thought something had happened. He immediately frowned and wanted to go out. Lu Shu shook his head at him. "Master and the master must have something to do. Since they didn't say anything, they must want us to wait here. We'll just wait."
"But the people here look fierce. Will they be in danger?"
"You have a connection with the master. She won't get lost." Lu Shu smiled self - deprecatingly. "Whose spiritual power cultivation is not higher than ours? Don't go and cause trouble. Moreover, they're an engaged couple. They must have some private words. You're just being silly and trying to get in the way."
Qing Xuan was a bit dissatisfied. He thought that they were about the same, so who was laughing at whom?
"Look! Look!" Lu Shu exclaimed in a low voice, pulling Qing Xuan's attention back.
Qing Xuan sighed. Since Lu Shu had said so, it really seemed inappropriate for him to chase after them.
So he sat down steadily in his seat and stared at the dancing dancer outside. As the music changed, the second dance was about to start.
Ji Yunxi led Feng Xingzhi out of the room and whispered, "I noticed just now the arrangement of the people opposite and downstairs. The positions of these girls in green clothes are all symmetrical. That is, wherever there's a person opposite, there's also one on our side."
Feng Xingzhi nodded. "It's not difficult to avoid them. But where are we going?"
"You said before that the elder of the Jiang family is interested in precious herbs and music workshops. And he happens to be in the Northern Di region. So I guess that he might have come to the Northern Di region just for this place. After all, although there are many miraculous herbs in the Northern Di region, this is the only famous music workshop."
Feng Xingzhi understood. "That makes sense. If he were to look for herbs, there would be too many places. But if it's a music workshop, there's only this one."
Ji Yunxi poked her head out and looked. There was no one in the corridor.
"Have you ever seen what that elder looks like?"
Feng Xingzhi nodded. "I only saw him once. Then something happened. When I returned, the head of the Jiang family said that he had left."
Ji Yunxi was puzzled. "This person is quite mysterious..."
As she said this, she suddenly remembered something. She grabbed Feng Xingzhi's hand. "Let's go to the rooftop. We can overlook the entire Bamboo Elegance Tower and surely see him at a glance."
The two of them used their spiritual power to make their steps as light as possible. They held their breath and slowly walked past the girls in green clothes.
Finally, they reached the rooftop. Both of them were sweating.
But thinking that they hadn't been discovered the whole time, the two of them still smiled at each other.
The railing on the top floor was just right to see the middle. As soon as Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi went up, they searched along the railing for the person they wanted to see.
However, after a round, they found nothing. Feng Xingzhi thought for a while. "Xixi, maybe he didn't come?"
"Indeed, it's hard to be sure. We don't have any clues."
"One has to spend a fortune to enter the Bamboo Elegance Tower. Maybe this person can't come up with so much silver at once, so he can't get in."
One had to admit that Feng Xingzhi's inference was not without reason. A great sense of loss enveloped Ji Yunxi.
Did she still have to endure the headache day after day?
Feng Xingzhi could also feel Ji Yunxi's mood. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. "It's okay, Xixi. I won't give up."
Ji Yunxi didn't answer but just reached out and hugged him back.
Suddenly, Feng Xingzhi seemed to hear some commotion. He subconsciously looked down and saw a man being pushed out of the door in a sorry state downstairs.
"Xixi, I seem to have seen that person."
