When Ji Yuan and Long Nu came back, there was naturally no longer the tit-for-tat atmosphere as before. They walked on the white clouds together and returned to the phoenix tree naturally and harmoniously.
Before anyone arrived, the dragon girl had already spoken.
"There is a huge gap between me and Uncle Ji. I am inferior in skills and I have already admitted defeat."
Although many of the people watching the fight on the paulownia tree already knew that the Dragon Girl had admitted defeat, she still solemnly announced the result again, which left almost no suspense.
Ji Yuan didn't say any polite words like "thank you for letting me win", but he made a straightforward comment when he and the Dragon Girl fell on the paulownia tree together.
"Ruoli's skills and methods really amaze me. Given time, she will surely shine even more brightly..."
The old dragon laughed and walked forward, stroking his beard and smiling.
"Ruoli's performance really pleased me. This was at the Dragon Transformation Banquet. It can be said that she lost with honor. But you, Ji Yuan, didn't you go too far?"
Ji Yuan smiled helplessly. This old dragon was just making sarcastic remarks.
"If I act timidly, you will be the first one to blame me, Mr. Ying, and Ruoli will also be unhappy."
As Ji Yuan said this, the old dragon started laughing, and the dragon girl beside him also chuckled. The dragon mother walked over to the dragon girl and put a brand new red dress on her to cover the torn parts of her clothes.
"Mr. Ji's magic is really eye-opening!" "Yes, it is really worth it to be able to watch this battle at this Dragon Transformation Banquet!"
"If you have time, you are welcome to visit my Dragon Palace in the North Sea!"
"I also hope you will come to my place."
Several dragon kings came over and invited Ji Yuan, and at the same time they did not forget to congratulate the dragon girl, because everyone knew that although this battle was short, the dragon girl’s gains were definitely not small.
Most of the guests and spectators around bowed and congratulated the Dragon Girl, as if she was the winner of this fight. As for the person involved, the Dragon Girl did not show any frustration on her face.
Even many of the birds around politely bowed and congratulated them.
Ji Yuan and Long Nu walked up to Zhen Feng Dan Ye and bowed to him to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, Daoist Dan Ye, for lending me the precious land to fight with Ruoli. I wonder how you think of the music score?"
Dan Ye smiled and said frankly.
"The fight just now was too exciting. Mr. Ji is undoubtedly extremely powerful, and Madam Ying also showed her experience. She was so absorbed in it that she didn't even look at the music score carefully. Let me look at it for a while."
"Daoist Dan Ye, thank you for your compliment!"
The dragon girl smiled and said politely, and Ji Yuan also responded.
"Of course you can. Please go ahead, fellow Taoist. I will come to get the music score when the time is right."
On the paulownia tree, the birds and outsiders were clearly divided, occupying the east and west corners respectively. After Ji Yuan and the Dragon Girl finished talking with Dan Ye, they returned to the guests of the Dragon Palace. The discussion about the fight just now had not stopped there, and the two parties involved went there and had a simple discussion, and the main speaker was the Dragon Girl.
As for the birds, the phoenix sat alone on a thick branch of the phoenix tree, which was as big as a square. The surrounding birds all turned their attention to the divine bird, and were all curious about the magical music score.
Ji Yuan's attention was divided into two, half on the Zhenfeng Dan Ye surrounded by birds in the distance, and the other half on the discussion on this side. Then at a certain moment, he suddenly turned around to look at Long Zi Ying Feng not far behind him.
"how do you feel?"
Longzi had been concentrating on listening to his sister describe the various changes that had previously been difficult for outsiders to understand. When he heard Ji Yuan suddenly speak, he instinctively knew that he was talking to him.
"I think Ruoli is indeed worthy of being a real dragon. Oh, and Uncle Ji is indeed unfathomable and powerful, which makes my nephew admire him even more."
Ji Yuan smiled.
"Flattery... I'll take note of your plan and look forward to your amazing performance."
Longzi also replied with a smile.
"Uncle Ji will have to wait a long time. According to my own estimation, it will take at least two hundred years."
The fact that Longzi could say this so calmly and relatively confidently made Ji Yuan, the old Long couple, and even the Dragon Girl in the guest center very happy.
"Good things come with a wait..."
As soon as Ji Yuan finished speaking, he turned his head and looked towards the east, where Fenghuang Dan Ye had already stood up, holding the "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" in his hand.
Seeing Fenghuang coming, the many guests and Ying family members on this side also quieted down.
"Mr. Ji, I have seen the score. It is a really good piece of music. Dan Ye was moved just by listening to the music. It shows your musical attainments. No wonder I asked Mr. Ji to record the song as a piece of music."
Ji Yuan could only smile. Could he say that his understanding of music before was only at the appreciation level? But when music reaches a certain level, it is connected with Taoism, so it is normal for Ji Yuan's comprehension to be exaggerated.
"Thank you very much."
Dan Ye returned the music score to Ji Yuan, and many water creatures around him were also quite curious about the book. However, before anyone else could speak, Dan Ye spoke again.
"It's a pity that I can only see the score but not hear the music. This should be a flute piece. Does Mr. Ji have his flute with him?"
Hearing this, Ji Yuan knew what the phoenix meant. To be honest, it was fine for him to play the flute in Ju'an Pavilion, but it was still a bit nerve-wracking to play the music in such an occasion, especially in front of Dan Ye, the original singer and the real phoenix.
As a result, Hu Yunxian excitedly started talking to Yin Qing about the fish basin he was holding in his arms.
"I can finally listen to Mr. Quan's "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix". I haven't played a single song on the purple bamboo flute since it was made! Big Blue Fish, Yin Qing, let me tell you, it sounds really good, but the ordinary flute I bought from a musical instrument store the last few times I used it would break after a short while..."
Hu Yun was talking in the back. Although his voice was very low, most of the people around Ji Yuan could hear clearly who was who, especially Fenghuang Dan Ye, whose eyes glowed a bright yellow like fire.
"Mr. Ji, please play a tune and I will personally sing along for you!"
Ji Yuan was a little nervous at first, but it was not that he lacked confidence in his musicality. At this moment, he heard the harmonious singing of the phoenixes, and he was naturally a little excited, as he could only have such an opportunity a few times in the world. He looked around and saw that all eyes were filled with anticipation.
So Ji Yuan did not refuse. He put his left hand into the sleeve of his right hand, and when he stretched it out, he was holding a long dark purple flute in his hand. Some people could see clearly that there were faint words "Ji Yuan" on the flute. How could he have left words on it if he didn't really like her
"In that case, I will show off my ugliness today, and use this as a way to congratulate Ruoli on her transformation into a dragon."
Compared to others, Fenghuang Dan Ye seemed particularly excited. He bowed respectfully to Ji Yuan and then stretched out his hand to invite him to the side.
"Mr. Ji, please, let's go to the branch over there."
"please!"
Ji Yuan could feel Dan Ye's throbbing, perhaps he had been singing alone here for so many years. It could be said that he was seeking a phoenix, or it could be said that he hoped to have a true soulmate, which would happen to him, Ji. After reading "Phoenix Seeking a Phoenix", Dan Ye's expectations had reached its peak.
Ji Yuan felt a tremendous amount of pressure. If his flute music failed to meet Dan Ye's expectations, the lonely phoenix would surely feel very disappointed. He wasn't so nervous even when he was fighting with the dragon girl just now.
When the two of them walked away, neither the birds nor the guests followed them. The bamboo flute made waves of "sobbing..." soft and wonderful sounds as Ji Yuan's arms swung, showing the magic of the flute and increasing the expectations of others.
Ji Yuan and Dan Ye continued to climb up along a branch of the phoenix tree. As they went higher, the branch became thinner and thinner. It gradually became as wide as a street and became as thick as a normal person's thigh. The huge phoenix leaves were arranged in an orderly manner like an umbrella cap.
The two stopped here, and Dan Ye took a step forward. His body glowed with colorful light, and when he rose into the air, he had transformed into a phoenix, dancing around Ji Yuan with layers of light.
"Mr. Ji, you lead the song and I'll sing along."
Ji Yuan casually flipped through "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" and simply stuffed the music score into his sleeve, then nodded to the Phoenix.
"Okay, let's get started!"
After he finished speaking, Ji Yuan didn't do anything extra. He turned the flute and put the mouth of the flute on his lips.
“Woo~~~Woo~~~Sob~~~~”
The moment the melodious and distant sound of the flute sounded, it spread in all directions as if ignoring distance, and the sound of the flute also brought peace to everyone's heart.
Ji Yuan also entered the state after the moment he played the music. Following his understanding in his heart and thinking about the song of the phoenix, a feeling of Taoism was born in the music.
The phoenix just danced around without singing, but from its dancing movements, all the birds and foreign guests knew that he was by no means disappointed, but was waiting.
Sure enough, when Ji Yuan's flute sound became louder and louder, the sound of the phoenix rang out at the most appropriate moment, and the sound seemed to be able to penetrate gold and stone.
“clang—”
After a harmonious cry, the phoenix no longer kept silent. Its dancing led the rosy glow. The phoenix cry and the flute sounds harmonized with each other. This scene on the branches of the phoenix tree was as intoxicating as the dancing of the phoenix in the rosy glow.
