Chapter 96 -98: Could She Also Be Someone Who Transversed Through Time?
The moonlight waned in the west, and in the Wangyue Pavilion, the evening breeze stirred the gauze curtains.
An ancient zither lay there, with tendrils of white smoke slowly rising from the burner. Ouyang Chenchen had long vanished without a trace.
Lady Nan Xiu’s smile faded as she gazed intensely at Feng Bailing, her eyes fixed and her focus inward.
“Who are you, if not Feng Bailing?”
Lady Nan Xiu’s voice suddenly changed, as a fiery red character flickered between her eyebrows—a stylized ‘wood’—seeming ready to emerge.
Her tone was chilling to the bone, and as her delicate jade-like hands fell swiftly onto the zither, the sound resonated, followed abruptly by a flash of cold light.
A string from the ancient zither transformed into a streak of white light, racing like lightning and carrying a fierce killing intent, thrusting directly at Feng Bailing’s brow.
At the critical moment, the string shifted abruptly.
As the string changed its trajectory, the curtains were torn into shreds, scattering and falling to the ground.
Lady Nan Xiu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and upon looking again, Feng Bailing’s figure hadn’t moved; his expression was as impassive as ever, the very picture of an unrivalled master.
Mount Tai could crumble before him without a change in his expression—such bravery and perception!
Lady Nan Xiu rarely failed in confrontation.
She broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly bowed with respect.
“Elder, Nan Xiu has been presumptuous. Please forgive my offense.”
Lady Nan Xiu was trembling with fear and dared not look Feng Bailing directly in the eye, for fear that this deeply hidden elder would be displeased and slap her to death with a palm.
To stand unwavering, without even lifting a finger, and alter the attack of the zither’s strings—such cultivation surely surpassed the Wuji Golden Seal!
Lady Nan Xiu had been suspicious when she saw the few lines of the zither’s score that Feng Bailing had written.
That’s why she added the extra eleventh spot.
“Ignorance isn’t a crime. Considering you are Chenchen’s teacher, I will let this go.”
Feng Bailing too had broken out into a cold sweat.
Only with the help of the Seventh Sense had she avoided that strike.
The headmaster turned out to be a master.
“Elder, please take a seat.”
Lady Nan Xiu personally brewed tea and served it to Feng Bailing, waiting attentively by his side with a submissive demeanor.
“Do you understand that piece of music?”
Feng Bailing took a sip of tea and seemingly asked casually.
“I am but a novice with shallow learning, having mastered only the Wenhua Fire Seal, I can only understand a small portion. I would be extraordinarily grateful if the elder could enlighten me and complete the remaining parts of the unfinished piece.”
Lady Nan Xiu’s face lit up with excitement as the music of the Ten Sides Ambush was mentioned.
“You’ve also condensed the Wenhua Seal?”
Feng Bailing instantly found the tea in her hand less fragrant.
She had no seals, yet the other possessed two?
What a remarkable person!
“The Wenhua Seal and the Wuji Seal can coexist; whichever is stronger will be more prominently displayed. Elder, you…”
Lady Nan Xiu hesitated, wanting to ask how Feng Bailing could be unaware, but then she thought better of it—the elder must be testing her.
“I am no great master myself; I simply had the honor of apprenticing under one. You must know, I spent some years at the Other Manor. It was during that time when I met my master, who taught me everything about music and martial arts.”
Feng Bailing, afraid Lady Nan Xiu might not believe her, instructed her to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and she proceeded to write out the remaining four sections of the Ten Sides Ambush.
Upon seeing it, Lady Nan Xiu quickly knelt down.
“Elder, I am not very talented, and would like to invite the elder to be the head of Yuxiu Academy. Nan Xiu is willing to step down, only wishing for the elder to stay.”
Feng Bailing’s hand holding the teacup quivered.
“I have no interest in teaching.”
“Senior, then I beg you to take me as your servant. I’m willing to serve by your side and only ask for occasional guidance.”
As Lady Nan Xiu spoke, she knelt and bowed three times. By the time Feng Bailing wanted to stop her, it was already too late.
“Alright, I can teach you some… music theory, but you must not speak of it to others.”
Feng Bailing, a former military musician, knew plenty of ancient and Western tunes. Just picking a few at random would be enough to bamboozle Lady Nan Xiu.
“Rest assured, senior, this is our secret.”
Seeing Feng Bailing insist on not taking her as a disciple, Lady Nan Xiu’s face was full of regret.
“Additionally, I need a title to stay at Yuxiu Academy. To others, I shall claim to be your nominal disciple.”
Feng Bailing knew she was just at Yuxiu Academy to gild her name, to get a “diploma”, and there was no need to be an official disciple.
“I’m putting you in a tough spot, senior.”
The dean’s face showed panic and fear.

“Furthermore, I will attend the academy’s classes sporadically, but I will participate in the monthly assessments.”
Feng Bailing had a lot on her plate and simply could not attend classes every day.
“With your extensive knowledge and talent, senior, there’s no need for you to attend classes with the regular students. You just need to select a few subjects and pass the monthly assessments. I will explain this to the vice dean.”
The dean readily agreed.
When she left Yuxiu Academy, it was already late at night.
In the horse carriage, Feng Bailing’s brow was deeply furrowed.
That incomplete version of “Ten Sides Ambush” wasn’t created by Lady Nan Xiu but was something she stumbled upon on a battlefield.
About a decade ago, during one of Lady Nan Xiu’s travels, she witnessed wars among several nations, including the Great Chu Army.
On the battlefield, amidst deafening war cries, the Great Chu Army had the upper hand in numbers and was commanded by a capable general, poised for a sweeping victory.
But suddenly, the sound of a zither carried across the battleground.
The melody, distant yet prevailing, initially sounded like a sudden downpour of rain, then like the clash of metal and hooves, with war cries that shook the heavens.
Under the influence of the zither, the previously high-spirited Chu Army’s formation was thrown into disarray, soldiers routed, transforming their advantageous situation into a steep decline, ultimately leading to a crushing defeat where even the commander was beheaded.
“The enemy didn’t even finish the entire tune before defeating eighty thousand Chu soldiers. I remembered the incomplete melody, never knowing the rest. I thought it would be a lifelong regret, but to my surprise, I had the chance to meet you, senior.”
While recalling Lady Nan Xiu’s words amidst the rumbling sounds of the carriage wheels, Feng Bailing reflected on that battle.
It was also Dugu Wu’s first battle, and it was then that Lady Nan Xiu saved Dugu Wu’s life.
One song, “Ten Sides Ambush,” had turned into a deadly reaper’s tune.
Yet the person who played it never showed themselves.
The carriage had already arrived outside the Feng Mansion, and Feng Bailing stepped off.
When she returned to the east wing, Feng Xiaoli had already fallen asleep.
Dongfang Lianhua was delighted to hear that Feng Bailing had passed the assessment.
Her daughter’s lifelong matters were settled, and she had found a way to redeem Feng Luochen and the Jade Pendant.
“Miss, Xinglin Spring has sent over the medicinal herbs you requested.”
Mrs. Su had been waiting for a long time; Feng Bailing had gone for the assessment during the day, and Su Wang had prepared all the medicinal ingredients Feng Bailing wanted to make the hair cream earlier on.
“Let’s go, it’s time to prepare the medicine.”
Feng Bailing perked up upon hearing this.
With the substantial earnings from Yuxiu Academy, even after putting aside the money to redeem Feng Luochen and the Jade Pendant, as well as the ever-necessary emergency medical kit that could consume funds at any moment, Feng Bailing still decided to work hard to make more money.
If successful, purely medicinal hair cream could become a treasure of Xinglin Spring.
Under the cover of night, Feng Zao watched Feng Bailing, Mrs. Su, and Chun Liu rush into the kitchen where they set up a large iron pot to start preparing the medicine!
