Chapter 216: She’s in the Sky, How Do I Get Her Down?

Shen Zhiyao asked, "Is this matter also related to the Judicial Sect?"

Chen Yan said, "We can’t be sure. We just noticed something was off outside and came in to take a look."

After silently listening to this exchange, Meng Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but ask, "Chen Yan, who exactly are you? Weren’t the tickets for Wuxia City sold out? How did you get in?"

Chen Yan let out a light chuckle. "Currently, I’m a newbie in the entertainment industry, and I also hold the part-time position of Wudang Mountain Master."

Meng Xiaoxiao was speechless.

Meng Xiaoxiao had transmigrated over 70 years ago, so she definitely knew about Hua Country’s Wudang Mountain.

For many years, Wudang Mountain had been slaying demons and devils, earning a renowned reputation.

Legend had it that many evil spirits and demons were suppressed at the foot of Wudang Mountain.

To demons, Wudang Mountain was an invincible existence.

A century ago, several Fox Demons with a thousand years of Cultivation secretly infiltrated Wudang Mountain, hoping to rescue their companions suppressed at its foot.

But before they could even get close, the Wudang Mountain Master slapped them into ash with a single palm strike.

Other demons might fear the Wudang Mountain Master, but to Meng Xiaoxiao, that level of strength was pretty average.

After all, she was a demon with a trace of Phoenix bloodline and possessed seven Nine-Colored Divine Sabers.

With her seven Nine-Colored Divine Sabers, it would be no problem for her to KO the Wudang Mountain Master.

’But I have no idea how strong the current Wudang Mountain Master is.’

In recent years, Wudang Mountain had gradually fallen silent, its former glory gone.

Rumor had it that a mishap occurred, leaving the Wudang Mountain Master severely injured. Others said he died in that incident.

’I could KO the Wudang Mountain Master from back then, so the current one should be no trouble.’

The first time she met Chen Yan, Meng Xiaoxiao had thought he was like a little puppy, the kind that makes you want to protect him.

Now, thinking back on what she had thought, she wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.

Seeing Meng Xiaoxiao, Master Chen immediately grew vigilant. "There’s a demonic aura! You’re a demon!"

As he spoke, he moved to draw his sword.

Meng Xiaoxiao didn’t hesitate, immediately casting her fox charm technique to control Master Chen.

Just as Meng Xiaoxiao was about to make a move on Master Chen, Chen Yan grabbed the hilt of Master Chen’s sword. "Don’t overreact. She’s a good demon and doesn’t hurt people. Stand down!"

Master Chen looked at Chen Yan in confusion. ’Why has he become so soft-hearted? This is the man who annihilated several powerful demons with a single palm strike back in the day!’

But since the Mountain Master had spoken, he didn’t dare say more, so he sheathed his sword and stood aside.

Chen Yan nodded in relief. ’Good thing Old Chen didn’t attack. Meng Xiaoxiao would have beaten him to death.’

Meng Xiaoxiao retracted her fox charm technique and pointed at Chen Yan. "This kid is the Wudang Mountain Master?"

"The current one," Chen Yan emphasized.

This made Meng Xiaoxiao even more certain. ’He’s not a descendant of the previous Wudang Mountain Master. Otherwise, why would he specifically emphasize ’the current one’?’

She stared at him. ’After all, we were on that variety show together, and he helped cover for me when I was getting my revenge. He even stopped his subordinate from attacking. He must be an ally, not an enemy.’

The dance music ended. The stirring melody stopped, and the venue fell silent.

On stage, Gong Feng stopped dancing. She picked up the microphone and said, "Next, I’ll be singing ’Sunflower,’ the hit song by the Gemini Group."

Meng Xiaoxiao explained, "The only reason she’s managed to stay somewhat famous is thanks to the songs her best friend left behind."

The song "Sunflower" was credited as a joint creation of the Gemini Group, but in reality, her best friend, Zhao Huan, wrote it all by herself.

Thanks to this song, the Gemini Group became an overnight sensation on DouY, gaining tens of millions of followers and becoming top influencers on the platform.

At the peak of their popularity, posters of the Gemini Group were all over the streets of Hua Country.

But after one performance, Zhao Huan was hit and killed by a large truck, her organs torn from her body on the spot.

After her best friend’s death, Gong Feng had to go solo. She signed with a music label and continued to build her career on DouY.

Over the years, she released many albums, but her tone quality was poor, and her vocal skills couldn’t compare to Zhao Huan’s. Her records received a lukewarm response, and her popularity plummeted.

People didn’t like her new songs, showing much more interest in the old hits instead.

That’s why whenever Gong Feng performed at tourist venues, the organizers would always ask her to sing the old songs.

Meng Xiaoxiao felt it was a great pity. She had watched that talent show and been completely captivated by Zhao Huan’s voice.

And what was the result? Zhao Huan died, and now her best friend was on stage every day singing their old songs. It was like she was profiting from a tragedy.

She rolled her eyes in disdain, in no mood to listen.

Just then, the pleasant sound of the song’s intro filled the air:

"A soft kiss from the wind, under the moonlight,"

"You and I, shoulder to shoulder, watching the sunset,"

"Speaking of our hopes for the future,"

"Remember how many times we fell in the mud, struggling to get back up,"

"We wiped away our tears,"

"And swore to overcome a thousand hardships."

"I remember how many times,"

"We climbed back up from the mud,"

"No matter what happens, we’ll never be apart."

Meng Xiaoxiao froze. "Is that... Zhao Huan’s voice?"

She listened more closely, her certainty growing. "Yes, that’s Zhao Huan’s voice. Her voice was always so beautiful and powerful!"

On stage, Gong Feng sang emotionally, her eyes glistening with tears.

Shen Zhiyao, however, could clearly sense a dense yin aura around her. It was obvious she was possessed by a ghost.

Someone who had been dead for years had suddenly appeared, borrowing her best friend’s body to sing passionately on stage.

Just then, Gong Feng sat on a moon-shaped harness and was lifted into the air. Dressed exquisitely, she sat on the wire, gently crooning the song.

The crowd erupted in thunderous cheers, but her voice only grew clearer, drowning out the commotion.

"I remember how many times,"

"We climbed back up from the mud,"

"No matter what happens, we’ll never be apart."

The final four words, "we’ll never be apart," were repeated over and over.

The voice was sorrowful, yet exceptionally beautiful.

Shen Zhiyao’s expression immediately grew grave. "Damn it, she’s going to kill someone!"

Meng Xiaoxiao asked, "Kill who?"

Then it hit her. "Don’t tell me she’s going to kill Gong Feng!?"

She remembered how, right after Zhao Huan’s death, the internet had been flooded with accusations that Gong Feng had killed her.

Back then, an insider had revealed that only Zhao Huan was supposed to move on to the next round. Some companies had also only wanted to sign Zhao Huan.

In terms of vocal skill, fundamentals, and songwriting ability, Zhao Huan was superior to Gong Feng in every way.

In the eyes of netizens, Gong Feng was just holding the Gemini Group back.

Zhao Huan, on the other hand, was different. She had the potential to become the next-generation’s pop queen.

Unfortunately, just as the budding pop queen was beginning to shine, she was murdered.

After Zhao Huan’s death, Gong Feng’s fan count actually saw a slight increase. She became the sole representative of the Gemini Group and signed with a management agency.

Gong Feng was the biggest beneficiary of Zhao Huan’s death.

Due to a lack of evidence, the case of Zhao Huan’s death was hastily closed.

Having seen plenty of the dark side of human nature, Meng Xiaoxiao had harbored the same suspicion.

And now, she was standing here watching the drama of the two ’sisters’ confronting each other.

Time was short. Shen Zhiyao didn’t have a moment to spare and said to Meng Xiaoxiao, "Quick, think of a way to get Gong Feng down from there!"

Meng Xiaoxiao was stunned. "Huh? Why are you asking me? If even you don’t have a plan, what am I supposed to do?"

Shen Zhiyao said, "Do you want karmic merit?"

Karmic merit could boost her Cultivation, but it was hard to come by. Of course Meng Xiaoxiao wanted it.

She glanced at Gong Feng, then said to Shen Zhiyao, "So what should I do? She’s up in the air, dude! How am I supposed to get her down?"
