Chapter 442 Falling Moonlight 42
The smile on Chaoge's face never faded.
She raised her eyes, sweeping across the young faces that were full of vigor, boldness and ambition.
Chaoge's voice was not loud, but it was filled with arrogance, confidence, and a sense of self-righteous calmness.
"My wish is, of course, to become a god!"
Then, she tilted her head slightly, "Then, all of your wishes will come true, one by one!"
Under the night sky, the evening breeze blows through the century-old trees, making a rustling sound.
The moon's shadow is as thin as a veil, and the genius sitting under the moon is so powerful and so domineering.
Her eyes were as clear as a stream, but her heart was so soft that people couldn't help but want to get closer to her.
"Okay!" Yun Miao was the first to speak.
"Hahaha! Well said!"
"In order to break this day - we must have a drink!"
The young man's unreserved passionate feelings, mixed with absolute trust, were swallowed down their stomachs along with the clear wine.
"Tomorrow!"
"To the future!"
"cheers!"
The crisp sound of wine glasses colliding was heard, just like their hearts growing closer and closer.
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the courtyard.
Everyone turned to look and saw Yun Qiuling standing at the door with a slightly awkward look.
"I'm sorry, I came at the wrong time and disturbed you."
Facing nine pairs of shining eyes, Yun Qiuling felt that she was almost unable to speak.
"I'm here to congratulate fellow Daoist Tangxi." And by the way, I'd like to ask her about the sword moves that defeated me on the stage.
"Welcome! Come in!" Chaoge smiled and welcomed her loudly.
"Don't bother, don't bother."
"Come quickly, but do you have a wine glass, Fairy Yun?"
"There's plenty of liquor, liqueur, and tea, enough for the ten of us to drink all night long!"
The uneasiness in my heart when I came here was all dispelled by the enthusiasm of everyone.
Yun Qiuling couldn't help but follow them and smiled softly.
All the people present, except those who did not participate in the Qinglan Competition, are in the top ten of the Tianjiao List and are the pride of their respective forces.
Yun Qiuling couldn't help but think that these people were not as arrogant and powerless as their tribe members said.
Everyone soon gathered together again, chatting about this and that, and sharing interesting stories from all over the world.
When the wine was at its best, Chaoge raised his arms high.
"Everyone, when Yunmiao and I turn eighteen, come and attend our coming-of-age ceremony!"
Everyone knows that the ancestors of the Da Zhao Kingdom took the next generation into consideration and stipulated that both men and women were considered adults at the age of 18, and that they had to be 20 to get married and have children.
Su Shang was very curious, "Tell us quickly, what is done in this coming-of-age ceremony? What is the process?"
Chaoge was unusually shy and gently scratched the side of her face with her fingertips, causing Yunmiao to burst into laughter.
She casually recounted the entire process of the banquet.
"You didn't even mention the main point." Yun Miao was trying to sabotage.
Chaoge rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.
Ying Congyue realized something was wrong and gently bumped into her shoulder, "There's something wrong with you!"
Yunmiao tilted his head and moved closer, "Yes, Princess, you haven't mentioned the two songs "Moonrise" and "Pickled Plum Blossoms" yet!"
Chaoge: "..."
Yunmiao smiled and said, "How about this, you sing a line and let's see if you have learned it?"
Upon hearing this, He Jiayi was the first to speak up, "I can compose music for you."
Su Shang, "It's so mysterious. I must hear this song today!"
Chaoge couldn't stand everyone's booing, so he just coughed twice and started singing.
As soon as she uttered the tone, He Jiayi immediately followed in tacit understanding.
The song "Picking Plum Blossoms" was not long and was finished quickly.
Chaoge pressed her cheeks which were heating up. She felt ashamed to perform her talent in front of acquaintances. She felt unwilling that she was the only one who felt embarrassed.
So Chaoge put his arm around Yunmiao's neck and said, "Now that I've finished singing, it's your turn!"
Yun Miao played dumb, "Huh? What? I don't understand!"
Chaoge smiled politely, "Come on, brother, sing a song called "The Moon Rises" and let your sister give you some pointers."
Being pinned under her armpits, Yun Miao couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, you need to find the right person to sing this to you!"
After saying that, Yun Miao raised his eyebrows and winked at Chaoge, which was full of hints.
Chaoge: "..."
She grinned and shook her head to refuse, "You must sing for me today! Otherwise, I'll make you suffer!"
Yun Miao sighed, "Alright, just consider it as me risking my life to accompany a gentleman, to set an example for some people."
After that, a clear male voice sounded, singing a song with a cheerful tone and full of the boy's sincere feelings.
"The moon is bright. The people are beautiful. The girls are graceful. The hearts are tired and the mind is quiet.
The moon is bright. The beautiful woman is happy. The worries are relieved. The tired heart is sad.
The moon is out and shining. The beautiful people are burning. The young are happy. The tired heart is miserable.
After listening to it, Ying Congyue understood the meaning of singing these two songs at the coming-of-age ceremony.
She said in an ambiguous tone, "Oh my, I seem to see a handsome and high-spirited young man expressing his love to his sweetheart!"
He Jiayi praised: "The lyrics are well written, the tone is beautiful, and the emotions contained in it are very moving."
Su Shang said at the end, "So, Your Highness Jiaoyang, who do you want to sing "The Moon Rises" at your coming-of-age ceremony?"
A face subconsciously appeared in Chaoge's mind.
But she still said stubbornly, "No one!"
As everyone was laughing, Chaoge didn't notice Mingdan's momentary sadness, or Yunmiao's thoughtful, slightly meaningful look.
But Qinglian and Ying Congyue, who were watching from the sidelines, could see everyone's expressions clearly.
That gathering under the moonlight turned out to be the last time they were together in their lives.
The images recorded accidentally by Ying Congyue.
It was the purest, happiest, most carefree, boldest and most unrestrained day in their youth.
Every time she thinks back on it, Ying Congyue will feel some regret and strong nostalgia.
Why didn't he say a few more words to Chaoge? She was bright and passionate, and she valued love and friendship. This was her strength, but it also became a flaw later on.
She should have been alert when Changdu said that his wish was related to Lanying's safety.
Shao Chuji, that fool, she should have reminded him to be more careful.
He Jiayi is too stubborn, and Su Shang is too clear about right and wrong.
Yunmiao is smart and conceited, but he still lacks a lot in observing people's hearts...
How wonderful it would be if time could stop at that moment and stay at the happiest moment?
A clear voice rang in his ears, interrupting Ying Congyue's memories.
"It's the song 'Moonrise', right?"
Ying Congyue withdrew her thoughts, and the photo stone had already played to the end.
Everyone was drinking and staggering.
Although Yun Qiuling's cheeks were flushed, she still did not forget her original intention. She raised the long sword with her weak arms and wanted to ask Chaoge for sword moves.
