Chapter 33: Drinking among Friends (2/2)

Mo Wuji stood up tipsily, drained his glass and said loudly, ”If that's the case, how about I sing another song,

Yesterday is gone again

Happiness is the most important

Water cannot be recovered again

After a peach withers, there's still a rose

Life will always have strong winds and rains

A sprinkle of rain will not stop us from drinking

Whether we regret or not, we can slowly decide

At this moment friends this cup of wine is the most precious

Have a cup full of wine and sing loudly

Good friends, nice friends, we'll have so much fun tonight

Also let me know how to cherish a friend's shoulder

The sun will always shine after a heavy storm

Let us raise our head and learn to be strong

Like a friend, this cup of wine warms my heart

I do not worry about anything else

Today we have come to meet

Feelings of affection filled the glass

Years rush like water

Who cares who he was yesterday

… ［2］”

Mo Wuji's hoarse, husky voice made Wen Manzhu completely stunned. She preferred this song to the previous one. Each and every word strummed her heartstrings, making her blood boil, compelling her to go in and drink with them.

Is this the feeling of friendship? She also had her own friends. Cheng Yu State's Ninth Prince, Situ Po. Cheng Yu State's general, Zhao Feihu's son, Zhao Pu. Minister Yao Kang's son, Yao Bingzhen. There was also the hypocrite Zhao Xu... [3]

Which one of them wasn't handsome? Which one of them wasn't a promising hero? Why was it that she can't seem to find this feeling of boiling blood when she's with them? If Situ Po wasn't interested in Mo Wuji's knowledge of the Sunflower Law, would he have advised her to chat with Mo Wuji?

”Good... Good... Brother Mo, I like this song... Have a cup full of wine and sing loudly! Good friends, nice friends, we'll have so much fun tonight...” Yuan Zhenyi joined Mo Wuji and sang loudly.

Ding Bu'Er and Aunt Eleven also joined in.

Wen Manzhu stood outside the tent for a long time, and finally dispelled the idea of entering the tent. If not for what happened today, she would never have known how talented Mo Wuji was. By casually singing those two songs, he was able to make her blood boil and compel her to join in the singing.

She walked faraway to a place where she could no longer hear the songs. Wen Manzhu slowly lowered her head. She knew, it didn't matter how well Mo Wuji could sing, they were two different people from two different worlds.

If Mo Wuji had spiritual roots, she would think of ways to help him. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji only had mortal roots. After she enters a sect and starts cultivating, this distance between them would only get wider.

”Let the past go. If I'm successful in my cultivation, and if we were to ever meet again, I will give him great fortune. I can even help him achieve his dream of taking back the Northern Qin Prefecture,” Wen Manzhu muttered as she walked into the inn. She seemed to have found a reason to truly say goodbye to Mo Wuji.
