Chapter 159: Chapter 90 The Annoying Ancestral Business of My Sect_2
Such a beautiful beaded hairpin, such exquisite craftsmanship, such large pearls…
Swallowing his saliva, Gu Changsheng spoke with difficulty, “Flower Peacock, I forgot to ask you, your master’s lineage, that ‘The Music and Dance Academy’ of the Gongsun Family, what kind of lineage is it really?”
If it’s what she had imagined, she really would have to feign death from a blow to her tofu forehead!
“Ancestral Granny Lady Gongsun, a prodigy from The Music and Dance Academy, her sword dance excels above all, unparalleled in the world…”
“Once there was a beauty known as Lady Gongsun, her sword dance stirred all quarters. Spectators were as numerous as mountains with disheartened hues, the sky and earth long swayed for her. She was as swift as Yi shooting down the nine suns, as majestic as emperors riding alongside dragons. When she came like thunder’s rage, or departed like the sea’s calm gleaming light…” Gu Changsheng murmured in distraction.
Hearing this, Yue Xilou was visibly shaken and looked at Gu Changsheng in disbelief, “How do you know the secret records of my master’s lineage?”
“This is your master’s lineage record…” Gu Changsheng repeated absentmindedly.
Bullshit! These were clearly the verses by the poetry sage Du Fu describing Lady Gongsun’s sword dance!
Back in her youth, upon reading these lines, she dreamt of Lady Gongsun with mountains bowing and winds and clouds changing color at her majestic sword dance, the splendor overwhelming as the dragon’s auspicious flight, the light vying with the nine suns. She couldn’t help but fantasize about it, and even practiced ancient dances for a while!
Has this damnable space-time been riddled with holes?
This Lady Gongsun, she must have traveled here from her Flourishing Tang Dynasty! Definitely, undoubtedly!
The awe-inspiring ancient, crossing over and still able to establish a lineage like The Music and Dance Academy’s, spanning generations of disciples, impressive!
“Girl, speak, how do you know the records of my lineage that should never be passed outside?” Yue Xilou’s expression turned solemn as she stared at Gu Changsheng.
Those were lines from the private writings of his lineage’s Ancestral Granny, not known to anyone outside his direct disciples!
“Hehe…” Gu Changsheng responded with a powerless smile. How could she tell him she had learned it from history, from poetry collections?
“Speak!” Yue Xilou was not ready to let the matter drop, pursuing the truth relentlessly.
“If you really want me to say, I can only tell you, I might have some kind of connection with your Ancestral Granny. Gu Changsheng stroked her forehead, lifting a wry smile. It wasn’t that she was conning anyone; if you really thought about it, she absolutely came from the same time as Lady Gongsun, it’s just that Lady Gongsun was from the history she knew!
Now, it was Yue Xilou’s turn to be stunned, looking at the woman before her uncertainly.
His doubtful gaze completely irritated Gu Changsheng, who narrowed her eyes and slowly uttered a few words.
“West River Sword Art…” Damn it, if she hadn’t remembered wrongly, Lady Gongsun was known in later ages for her West River sword dance and the detached elegance of her moves, and she refused to believe that, since Lady Gongsun had traveled through time, she could have forgotten her fame that shook the world in the past.
As expected, Yue Xilou’s expression changed several times upon hearing this.
Quick to seize the opportunity, Gu Changsheng snatched the beaded hairpin from Yue Xilou’s hands while he was still in a daze.
He looked it over from top to bottom, left to right, but couldn’t figure out if this was something from his time-space or hers from the history of that time-space, “Is this something that belonged to Lady Gongsun?”
“You’re not allowed to call my ancestral granny by her name directly!” Yue Xilou snapped back to her senses and snatched the beaded hairpin, reminding him with an unfriendly expression.
“Uh…” Gu Changsheng was taken aback.
“The name of the Gongsun Family is known by all, a beautiful dancer who commanded the attention of the Capital Region, who vowed never to bow before the powerful and wealthy. She used her entire fortune to save the people from the flood after disaster struck, and both her deeds and her legacy are praised by future generations. You may address her as Grandmother Gongsun,” Zhou Mu explained softly, then looked at Yue Xilou, “Rumors had it that the Gongsun lineage disappeared without a trace after using up all their wealth. I hadn’t expected that you would be her heir. The Music and Dance Academy prevails in one lineage throughout the Itinerant World. The rumors are indeed true.”
“Uh…” Gu Changsheng’s admiration for Lady Gongsun was indeed like an overwhelming river now, awesome! The leader in the Academy of Music and Dance, an existence like a deity!
Realizing something, Gu Changsheng stroked his chin, circled Yue Xilou, “If I’m not mistaken, Grandmother Gongsun came from The Music and Dance Academy, shouldn’t all her heirs be female?”
Men being prostitutes, could that even be a sight? At most, a Flower Peacock can only play the part of a Cowherd!
“Otherwise, why would I need to disguise myself as a woman?” Yue Xilou’s reply was crystal clear.
Gu Changsheng suddenly understood, “Oh… so you’re in disguise as a woman to steal the craft…”
This ambiguous gender appearance, surpassing a woman by a thousand times, was truly a great deception!
“Whether it be, in my academy, it doesn’t matter whether one is male or female.”
“Oh, your master really does think outside the box, unconventionally attracting talents, huh?” Gu Changsheng suddenly remembered a saying and couldn’t help but burst into laughter, ‘Our sect only accepts female disciples, eunuchs and transgenders are also ineligible. No provision of the Sunflower Manual or small scissors!’
Gaga… His eyes shone with spirit!
“Hold it right there!” Gu Changsheng suddenly snapped back to his senses with another thought, looking at Yue Xilou, then at his obedient son standing by his side, “Wait a second, if my son becomes your disciple, he wouldn’t also have to dress up like you… uhm… in such a unique way, right?”
Please forgive her poor appreciation skills, she truly couldn’t accept Yue Xilou’s flamboyant dress that was quite eye-catching in public, so flashy…
“Of course!” Yue Xilou suddenly burst into laughter, taking delight in his misfortune, he was a hundred percent certain that Gu Changsheng disapproved of his attire!
“I’ll fuck your mother!” Gu Changsheng raised his leg and kicked fiercely, outraged, “Dare to dress my son ambiguously and just you wait, do you believe I’ll wipe out your goddamned academy right now? Do you believe I’ll castrate you right now and have you keep Yuan Bao company?”
“You!” Yue Xilou, pointing at the woman before him, was at a loss for words, angry and speechless.
“Son, your mama is so sorry! Don’t worry, if it comes to it, Mama will take him out for you, we don’t need a master from such a sect!” Rubbing her son’s little head, Gu Changsheng was on the verge of tears, extremely frustrated!
Damn it! She thought Yue Xilou was just running a brothel, but no, turns out this brothel is a family heritage!
I’m so screwed! What kind of ridiculous family business is this!
