Liu Xinyue got into the car with a puzzled look on her face.
“What’s so important?” Liu Xinyue tilted her little head and asked.
“I found you a really amazing tutor,” Lin Hai said as he took out his phone.
“Xinyue, sing a few lines of your competition song.”
“Oh.” Liu Xinyue didn’t know what Lin Hai was up to, but she obediently nodded. She parted her lips slightly and began to sing sweetly.
“Sitting on the carpet, back to back, listening to you and me talk about our wishes.” Liu Xinyue wore a smile, her voice sweet and lovely, performing the song perfectly.
“Hold on a second.” Lin Hai released the “hold to talk” button and sent it to Chang’e.
Ding dong!
The moment he sent it, Chang’e replied.
Fairy Chang’e: How are you able to send voice messages? A surprised emoji followed.
Damn it, isn’t this feature built into WeChat?
Little Confused Immortal: Can’t you send voice messages?
Fairy Chang’e: No! WeChat doesn’t have that feature.
Damn, Lin Hai felt frustrated. The Heavenly Court’s WeChat was really backward. If it didn’t have this feature, did that mean Chang’e couldn’t hear what he just sent?
Fairy Chang’e: But why can I hear the voice message you sent?
Pfft!
She can hear it? That’s really strange. You can receive but not send?
Whatever, Lin Hai couldn’t be bothered to care about these things. Since she could hear it, that was great.
Little Confused Immortal: Fairy, this voice message is a song my friend sang. Please help give some guidance.
Fairy Chang’e: The melody of this song is so beautiful, and the lyrics are well written too. I also wish I had someone to grow old with slowly. That would be such a romantic thing. An enraptured emoji followed.
Pfft!
Damn, I’m asking you for guidance. What are you getting all sentimental for? Can you get to the point?
Little Confused Immortal: Fairy, could you help point out the flaws in this song? I feel like it never quite reaches the ideal effect.
Fairy Chang’e: Fellow immortal, why do I feel like this song was sung using my Moon Palace Immortal Melody singing method? How strange.
Damn, she found out.
Fairy Chang’e: Who is your friend? Why do they know my exclusive singing method?
This…
Lin Hai was stumped for a moment. Damn, should he tell her?
Ding dong!
Just then, Lin Hai’s WeChat rang again.
He opened it and saw it was from the Jade Rabbit.
Jade Rabbit: Great Immortal, I saw your chat with my master. Please don’t say I sold it to you, I’m begging you. A long string of bowing emojis followed.
Uh… Lin Hai understood immediately. It seemed the Jade Rabbit had secretly copied the Moon Palace Immortal Melody behind Chang’e’s back and was selling it on the side for extra money.
The Jade Rabbit had helped him a lot. Lin Hai wasn’t the kind of person to sell out a friend.
Little Confused Immortal: Don’t worry, I know what to say.
Lin Hai thought for a moment, then sent another message to Chang’e.
Little Confused Immortal: To be honest, I once heard you sing from afar with a friend. I admired your voice so much that I privately studied your singing method. But without anyone to guide me, and since the method is too profound, there are still many shortcomings. I hope you can give some guidance.
Fairy Chang’e: Oh, I see. That’s what I thought. This singing method is very similar to my Moon Palace Immortal Melody, but it only captures the surface, not the essence.
“Not the essence? Damn, counterfeit goods are just counterfeit goods. Pirated books really screw you over.” Lin Hai cursed inwardly.
Little Confused Immortal: Then please give some guidance, Fairy.
Fairy Chang’e: How about this? I’ll give you my Moon Palace Immortal Melody. Have your friend study it carefully. It should help a lot.
Holy crap! Lin Hai was delighted. Damn, this Chang’e is pretty generous.
Ding dong!
Fairy Chang’e sent you a copy of Moon Palace Immortal Melody.
Little Confused Immortal: Thank you, Fairy!
Lin Hai thought for a moment. This time he wouldn’t learn it himself. He’d give it directly to Xinyue.
Xinyue learning it directly would be much more convenient than having him as a middleman.
“Xinyue, close your eyes. I have a gift for you.” Lin Hai suddenly said mysteriously.
“What gift?” Liu Xinyue asked curiously.
“Close your eyes first. You’ll know soon.”
“Mm.” Liu Xinyue obediently closed her eyes.
Lin Hai quickly opened the Qiankun Bag and found the Moon Palace Immortal Melody.
Extract!
A light blue book appeared in his hand.
Learn?
No!
“Alright, open your eyes.”
Liu Xinyue opened her eyes and saw Lin Hai holding a light blue book out to her.
“What’s this?”
“This is the tutor I found for you.” Lin Hai said mysteriously.
Liu Xinyue gave him a surprised look and took the book.
“Open it and take a look.” Lin Hai stood beside her, smiling mysteriously.
Liu Xinyue nodded and opened the book to a page.
Pfft!
Lin Hai nearly slid off the car seat.
Damn, what kind of bird language is this?
Lin Hai stared at the dense text on the page and couldn’t recognize a single character.
Damn, what’s going on? Could Chang’e be a foreign import?
“Xinyue, this book…”
“How strange.” Before Lin Hai could finish, Liu Xinyue furrowed her delicate brows and stared at the text, lost in thought.
“It really is strange. This text…” Lin Hai scratched his head awkwardly.
“I’ve never seen this text before, but why do I recognize every single character?” Liu Xinyue said thoughtfully.
“What? What? What!” Liu Xinyue’s words shocked Lin Hai.
“Xinyue, you’re saying you recognize all the characters in this book?” Lin Hai was dumbfounded.
“Mm.” Liu Xinyue nodded with a frown. “Not only do I recognize them all, but I understand the contents very thoroughly. Even more deeply than when you first taught me.”
Holy crap! Lin Hai was even more shocked now.
“There’s something even stranger. I feel like I’m very familiar with this book, as if…” Liu Xinyue tilted her head, thinking.
“As if what?” Lin Hai’s heart suddenly tightened.
“As if… I originally created it myself.”
Pfft!
Lin Hai was stunned!
The thought he had just suppressed came rushing back wildly.
Damn, could it be… could it all be true?
Lin Hai couldn’t stay calm anymore. With trembling hands, he took out his phone and found the photo Chang’e had sent him.
“Xinyue, take a look. Who is this?”
Liu Xinyue leaned over to look and couldn’t help but let out a cry of surprise.
“You… when did you take this photo of me?”
“Is this you?” Lin Hai’s heart was in his throat.
“Of course it’s me. Don’t tell me I don’t even recognize myself.” Liu Xinyue gave Lin Hai a sidelong glance.
“Hey, where did this photo come from anyway? I’ve definitely never worn this outfit, and… and it shows so much of my back.” Liu Xinyue looked at Lin Hai strangely and said shyly.
“Haha, of course you’ve never worn it, because I photoshopped it.” Lin Hai laughed loudly to hide the huge waves crashing in his heart.
Now, Lin Hai could be one hundred percent certain: Liu Xinyue was Chang’e, and Chang’e was Liu Xinyue!
