It was indeed a sad story . The girl must have been very happy to be loved by such an adult . However, he eventually died .
This was the world of cultivation . No matter how powerful one was, one might still die .
"My life also changed after that . My parents became extremely strict towards me and no longer plays with me . Every day, they would ask me to cultivate and want me to enter the Top Three Schools . Why do I have to go to those rubbish places?" the girl complained . Ye Futian was speechless . The Top Three Schools were the holy lands of the Eastern Region . Yet they were actually referred to as "rubbish places" by the girl .
Raising her head to look at the crescent in the sky, the girl said softly, "Uncle, I miss you . " Ye Futian realized that the person whom the girl had called a hero was her uncle . She had a senior who loved and petted her so much and yet he died . It was no wonder she was so sad .
Ye Futian did not speak and only sat there quietly to give her time to calm down .
After a while, the girl suddenly turned her head . Staring at Ye Futian, she said, "Why did I just tell you these? Since you already know my story, shouldn't you tell me what grief you have experienced?"
"You are much more fortunate than me . My parents went missing mysteriously, so is my godfather, and I do not even know where I am from . There was this old guy who was not bad to me, but he was also taken away by someone . My senior sister who loved me was also brought back by her family . My girlfriend also parted with me . Do you think my life is miserable?" Ye Futian said slowly .
Hearing his words, the girl was stunned and said, "I think so . Then why can you still laugh?"
"Life still goes on and we have to face it optimistically . Furthermore, shouldn't we work hard to make up for these regrets?" Ye Futian replied, feeling somewhat weird . Am I actually enlightening the girl? Was I not brought here by force?
That was quite shameless .
Forget it . She looks so pitiful so I shall just console her for now . Why am I always so kind?
"Sounds reasonable," the girl nodded . Then, she seemed to have realized something and said in a low tone, "But my uncle will never return . . . "
"Therefore you should become the person whom he hoped you will . You should grow up happily," Ye Futian said .

"I didn't expect you to know how to console someone . " The girl stared at Ye Futian with an alerted look and said, "Is it because I am too pretty?"
" . . . " Ye Futian closed his eyes and put his hand on his forehead . Do girls now all become mature so early? She was so young and yet thinking so much .
"Girl, are you in a serious lack of love?" Ye Futian said, looking at the girl .
"You're the one who lacks love . " The girl stared angrily at Ye Futian .
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a handsome man before?" Ye Futian said in contempt .
" . . . " The girl pointed her finger at Ye Futian . She had never seen such a shameless person . Then, she calmed down again . Smiling, she asked, "Uncle, what's your name?"
"Uncle . . . " Ye Futian jumped up from the ground . Uncle? Am I that old? This was turning unbearable . Calm down . . . I lose if I am serious, Ye Futian thought .
Ye Futian sat down again and smiling, he replied, "Uncle's name is Ye Futian . "
"My name is Long Ling'er . Uncle, how did someone as shameless as you manage to find a girlfriend?" The girl asked, smiling . She really doubted if Ye Futian's girlfriend left him because of this reason .
"My appearance . " Ye Futian grinned brightly .
"You won . " Long Ling'er felt that she had totally lost . Then, she walked to the guqin and the sorrowful music spread again .
"Stop!" Ye Futian shouted . At once, the music came to a halt .
Then, the girl stared at Ye Futian . If she was to continue playing, she would probably spend the whole night crying again .
Music was something that could very easily trigger one's emotion . If the girl played the piece again, she would definitely cry .

"How about I play a piece of music for you?" Ye Futian offered . It seemed like the only person who could save the sad girl at the moment was the kind him .
"Can you even play?" Long Ling'er doubted .
"Of course . I'm much better at this than you," Ye Futian said in a serious tone . What was that look of the girl?
"Then you come and play . " The girl left the guqin and still stared at Ye Futian in suspicion .
Ye Futian walked up to the guqin when his temperament suddenly turned sacred and peaceful . The moonlight poured onto his handsome face . He held the guqin with his hands and used the tip of his fingers to stroke on the strings . Immediately, an extremely tranquil music spread from his fingers .
The music was clear and peaceful . Under the moon, it brought all its listeners into a quiet and placid environment, as if they were sitting down alone under the moonlight, after which they slowly lied down . Showering in the bright moonlight, everyone felt pacified and free from worries .
"Purification of the Night Moon" was the first piece of music that Ye Futian had learned . However, music would be upgraded according to the level of its player . At the moment, this simple piece was played by Ye Futian . Although it did not require much skill, its artistic conception was displayed flawlessly . For any piece of music, the artistic conception was more important than the techniques used .
The girl sat beside Ye Futian and raised her head to look at the moon . Her eyes were filled with peace and she felt more and more relieved . Then, she slowly closed her eyes and actually fell asleep sitting down .
Ye Futian turned around to glance at the girl . Under the moon, the girl was sleeping serenely, just like what a little girl would do .
Behind them, a maidservant walked up and brought the girl away gently, while the music continued . Ye Futian only stopped playing after the maidservant walked out from the room .
"Thank you," the maidservant said to Ye Futian .
"Don't mind it," Ye Futian said politely .
"Even after these few years, the lady is still troubled by the event that year . Very often, she will cry in her sleep and she gets angry easily . I'm sorry for the trouble this has caused you," the maidservant added . She had been taking care of the girl for many years .

"No problem . I'll go and rest now," Ye Futian said, after which he turned around and left .
The anger he had in the morning was completely gone now . She was but a pitiful young girl, so he should not be too serious . However, Ye Futian suddenly felt that something was wrong and looked at the luxurious West Court before him . Sigh . I am more pitiful .
…
The next morning, Ye Futian was woken up by a loud noise . Walking out of the room, Ye Futian saw Long Ling'er standing akimbo outside the door . She was staring angrily at him like a porcelain doll . Ye Futian realized that when she was angry, she looked quite cute .
"What's up?" Ye Futian asked lazily .
"Did you play a lullaby yesterday?" Long Ling'er widened her eyes at Ye Futian . She actually fell asleep .
"It's just a soothing piece of music," Ye Futian said speechlessly . Why was it a lullaby?
"It's the same . Why did you make me fall asleep?" The girl was unhappy .
"You were tired and therefore fell asleep . What does it have to do with me?" Why is she even unhappy about this? Ye Futian thought .
"You . . . " The girl pointed her finger at Ye Futian . Then, she stomped her foot on the ground and turned around . "Follow me . "
"Where are we going?" Ye Futian asked .
"As my musical attendant, clearly you are following me to learn guqin together," Long Ling'er said . Ye Futian actually did not know what to reply and only started to follow her . Did he actually have to learn guqin with her?
Forget it . I am just doing a kind deed .
The two went before the waterfall seen on the previous day, after which they rode the ice dragon up the hill . The environment of the place was indeed elegant . The elder who surname was Feng was already waiting here . Noticing the arrival of Long Ling'er, he gave a kindly smile .
"Grandfather Feng, I'm here to learn guqin," Long Ling'er said softly .
"Sure," the elder nodded . Then, he looked at Ye Futian and asked, "Who is he?"
"He is Ye Futian, my musical attendant," Long Ling'er replied . The elder did not say anything else . After all, the music that he was about to teach Long Ling'er could not be learned by ordinary people so it really did not matter .
"I believe you already have the basics; your parents should have taught you many things as well . I'll teach you music directly," the elder said .
"Okay," Long Ling'er nodded gently .
The elder walked to the guqin . The guqin was in the shape of a dragon and seemed to be made from dead wood . It was extremely aged and looked somewhat magnificent .
He then started playing the guqin slowly . When the music spread, Ye Futian actually felt that the music was not part of the mortal world . Instead, it was meant for dragons .
"Err . . . " At this instant, Ye Futian was astonished . When the girl asked him to come here and learn music together, he thought that her teacher would only be displaying his skills in front of an expert . However, when he heard the music from the elder, he finally understood how supercilious he was .
At the moment, he felt an invisible current flowing in the sky, as if many pure-blooded dragons were dancing and speaking .
Running the Freedom Meditation naturally, the invisible forms before Ye Futian became clear at once . A shocking picture appeared before him: he actually saw many real dragons coiled up in the sky . The ice dragon beside Long Ling'er also moved restlessly and ascended into the sky and towards the elder . Suddenly, a low dragon howl was heard from the back of the hill . Then, Ye Futian saw an even larger dragon appear . It was a purple dragon whose body was huger than any dragon he had seen before . The purple dragon also went behind the elder and coiled up .
Ye Futian could feel that the music was like a special kind of language . It could summon illusory dragons and also real dragons and communicate with them spiritually . It was more than just a language . It felt as if they were the same species .
"Girl, a Dragon Whisperer is born able to communicate with dragons . You need to use your heart to listen and feel . When you play the guqin, your Spiritual Energy will turn into your language and resonate with heaven, earth, and dragons . An excellent Dragon Whisperer could turn music and dragons into a single body," the elder said slowly in a solemn tone . "Only when you can do that, you can be called a real Dragon Master . "
"Dragon Master . " Ye Futian's eyes sparkled . It was a sacred and powerful class and was even more honorable than Dragon Knight . The elder before him was clearly a powerful Dragon Master . In addition, the girl who liked to play was actually also a young Dragon Master who came here to learn .
