Chapter 5

Unexpectedly, my parents would return early.
I heard the noise in the lobby on the first floor.
I reached out and pulled my sleeping robes and opened the door.
Then, I saw Blue Hall at the top of the stairs.
Did he live next to my room?
Lan Tang was lying on the armrest of the stairs, looking down with a worried expression."What are you doing?!" I shouted in a cold voice.
I could hear my father and mother arguing in the living room.
No matter what the reason was, Lantang's actions had already violated our Shangguan family's privacy.
When he heard my voice, he didn't panic at all.
Instead, he calmly turned around and looked at me.
His face didn't have the same fearful expression as when he saw me during the day."Why are you so fierce?
Can't you take off the mask on your face?" Lantang calmly said to me.
I snorted, "You've been dismissed, Mr Lantang.
Please leave the Shangguan residence tomorrow morning."Dismiss?
Lantang repeated these two words in his heart with great interest.
Shangguan Xian's clear temper was truly unexpectedly bad.
He had originally thought that he was someone who was cold on the outside and warm on the inside, which was why he had acted in such an unrestrained manner in front of him.
Who would have thought that he would ignore his occasional childish temper?After all, he was only a 16-year-old child.
In that case..."Phew."I could feel the whiteness in front of me, the faint blue petals drifting down my face, and a long-haired, green-eyed child appears in front of me.
My memory is instantly restored.
That night, I met the child in the garden.
That's why I've been going to the garden so often lately.It was because my memories were gone!"Who are you?!" I asked as I stared at Lan Tang's face.
I wasn't surprised to see such a strange scene.
It was normal for something to appear in such an ancient place.
However, why did it appear next to me?Little Blue rubbed her hair in disdain, her legs crossed in midair as she looked at me casually.
"Shh...
quiet down, aren't you afraid they'll hear you?""Heh, what is there to be afraid of?
This is where I, Shangguan Xian, am clear.
The person in charge of the Shangguan family, is Shangguan Xian Xian!
I look at the boy with a cold face, "If you don't say anything, then scram."Suddenly, Lantang made an action that left me stunned.
He flew in front of me and kissed me hard on the lips.
I didn't know what to do, but I felt the softness of my lips.
I instinctively stuck out my tongue to look for the strange sweet liquid.
It was clearly a taste I'd tasted in the morning, but now it felt so different.
I didn't want to get out of it.Until it was hard to breathe, I pushed away the child in front of me."My dear Xianche actually forgot about me.
I'm so sad..." Lantang, who had been pushed away, looked scared and floated in front of me.
I took a deep breath and looked at Lantang angrily.
He was clearly so unfamiliar during the day, but now he was so experienced.He really knew how to pretend.
No, I was actually wondering if he was unfamiliar or experienced?
What did this have to do with me?Lantang circled around me, and finally flew away from me on the railing of the stairs.
His face was teasing.
"Let's not talk about me.
Don't you want to know what they're talking about?""Hmph, I'm not interested," I murmur coldly.
They were fighting, so how could I want to know?
I just thought it was too noisy to come out and have a look.Lantang's laughter made me frown in displeasure.
Was he a ghost?
Why did he appear in front of me?
At noon, I read his information.
Except that his appearance didn't match his twenty-five years old, there were traces of him.
Just as I frowned, Lantang suddenly fell down the stairs.
Damn it.I looked at Lantang, who was holding my hand and smiling slyly at me.
Had I been tricked?
I abruptly straightened up.
Lantang, who had suddenly let go of my hand, flew in front of me, complaining about my cold-blooded mercilessness.
It was enough that the evil person had complained first.
No matter how patient I was, it was enough.It was better for her to sleep quickly.
Either way, she wouldn't be able to see this person or ghost tomorrow."Hey, the violin was stolen."This casual tone made it hard for people to get serious, but there were still constant quarrels downstairs.
Even though Lan Tang had fallen and caused a commotion, it did not interrupt their quarrel.The Shangguan family had been a music family for generations and had a violin with an ancestral silver string in it.
It was called silver.
I remembered that everyone in the family regarded it as a treasure and would only play it in front of outsiders during important concerts.
Normally, they could only practice it in front of the Shangguan family or alone.The zither is inherited by the most outstanding violinist of every generation in the family.
If it's this zither, then the matter will be big."That's right." I didn't want to hear the least response in my lazy tone.
It was unbelievable.
I remembered that the number of bodyguards in the zither was higher than mine.
How could it have disappeared?
Looking at the anxious faces of my parents downstairs, indeed, the disappearance of the violin wasn't a small matter in the Shangguan family.After all, it was something passed down from the ancestors.
Although I didn't think a zither was important, it was still worth a lot.
I, Shangguan Xianche, am not someone who would benefit others.However...
"Who are you?
The loss of the zither has something to do with you, right?" I looked coldly at Blue Tang, who was sitting on the armrest of the stairs, with his back facing me.
Only then did I notice that there were two small, transparent wings on his back, faintly flickering with blue light."I am the music spirit, Blue Hall.
Shangguan Xian is clear.
The loss of the zither is indeed related to me, but the bigger reason is because of you." Lan Tang said without turning his head, "This zither does not belong to the Shangguan family, but belongs to you.
The reason why it is guarded by the Shangguan family is just a form of protection.""..."Elves, the word was unfamiliar.
It was a fairy tale now.
"I don't want to know.
Bring the zither back." I shook my head, uninterested.
I just wanted to know where the zither was.
As for who it belonged to, it had nothing to do with me.
All I had to do was ensure the safety of the Shangguan family's property.Lantang frowned.
"I want to know why I didn't go down and ask myself.""Why would I waste my time here listening to Lantang's nonsense?" I straightened my robes and brushed away the hair covering my eyes.
Then, I slowly walked downstairs.Father and Mother heard me coming downstairs and looked up at me.
The two of them were surprised that I would appear here.
Mother wiped her undried tears and said, "Chi'er, I've disturbed your sleep.
Your father and I have something to talk about.
You should go back to sleep first."It was obvious that my mother didn't want me to know about the disappearance of the violin.
Or perhaps it could be said that no one else knew about the disappearance of the violin?
My lips curled up."Now that I'm awake, I can't sleep.
Mother, is there anything I can help you with?" I sit elegantly on the sofa and look at my mother on the left.
I don't know how my father and mother, who have always been focused on music, will have the ability to find the violin.
The person who took the violin must be extraordinary.I even wondered if he had borrowed some external force...
for example, a creature like Lantang.
If Lantang had changed in front of me, I would never have believed it.But now...The mother and father looked at each other and the father said seriously, "There are some things that you don't need to worry about.
You are too young.
Don't always get involved in the matters of your parents." It seemed that the father didn't want me to know.I chuckled and stood up, looking proudly at my parents.
I had always thought that they were very tactful people, but I didn't expect them to become so flustered the moment something happened.
I didn't want to talk about it, so I had to deal with it myself.
I stretched and walked upstairs.
As I walked, I said, "Since it's nothing to do with me, I'll take my leave."Father, Mother.
"
