Madam Miao continued in a heavy tone. “In terms of looks, your beauty is on a country toppling level. Even compared to all the absolute beauties in history until now, my daughter can still stand among the top 10 for sure! In addition, your family background and personal talent is not something common people can match! Even royal princesses of the mundane world have lower statuses than you! Your temperament is also gentle and refined. You are well versed in both the arts and cultivation and are a talent rarely seen in the world... but not only did this man not seize the chance to get close to you, he even rejected your affection! Why is that?”

Miao Xiao Miao could not help but fall silent in contemplation when she heard this. Although her mother’s words were somewhat exaggerated, they were mostly true. With her qualifications, why did Mo Jun Ye still reject her? This was the reason why she was so confused.

“Mother... just what is the reason?” Miao Xiao Miao thought for a long time but was still unable to comprehend the reason.

“Ai... indeed, the person involved is often confused. The reason can be said to be extremely simple. It’s right after he cracked that joke, his attitude became cold...” Madam Miao said with a heavy sigh.

“This... what is going on? How can it be the same reason?” Miao Xiao Miao grew anxious.

“This Free and Natural Physique prodigy... already has another person in his heart...” Madam Miao said lightly. “From what you’ve said, this Mo Jun Ye is a genius in the literary area, creating beautiful poems and verses with every sentence, each word being deeply touching and timelessly classic. Furthermore, every poem and song he makes is filled with true emotion that is as deep as the ocean. Yet... all those poems are filled with ‘intense longing and unbearable’ emotion... If those poems were really all composed by him... and... there’s also the Song of the Burial of Flowers you received today...”

Madam Miao pointed at the score sheet in Miao Xiao Miao’s hands. “This song... is likely not the work of some girl several hundred years ago... If it is, how come we’ve never heard of it before? You should know that your mother has been extremely fervent over music for many years. I have confidence that my knowledge of music is not inferior to anyone. But I’ve truly never heard of such a well arranged and excellent song before... For the sake of this hobby of mine, how many people have your father sent out over the years to scour the best music? When the song ‘Laughing Proudly in the Pugilistic World’ appeared in Chrysanthemum City previously, I obtained the entire music score in three days. If this was really an old song, there wouldn’t be a reason for your mother to not know it...

“Also, although the melody of this song is excellent, meaning in the song is even more impressive. Apart from the feelings of self pity and pain, there is also the sorrow of love and departure...” Madam Miao sighed heavily: “I’m certain that this song is an original composition of Mo Jun Ye! This song was most likely composed for his own remembrance, which was why it had never spread out until now...

“You should know that if a girl reaches such a point of certain death, she would never write a poem like this... Although this song did not mention anything about the love between a man and woman, but every verse is filled with the sadness of love, as well as the grief of the loss of life and death... If a woman has her lover accompanying her side, even if she dies, it would be a happy and contented death. Why would she leave behind a song like this to torment her lover day and night? The both of us are female... could it be that we cannot understand the heart of a girl?”

Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes widened with realization. “Mother’s words indeed make sense. Could it be... this was created after his lover... departed?”

“There should be no mistakes about this.” Madam Miao nodded. “Truthfully, he’d already hinted about this long ago. Remember you said before that he told that musical genius: ‘There are no rivers to one who has crossed the ocean, and no clouds to one who has passed Mount Wu!’ Unfortunately, you were too enchanted by him and hadn’t realized it!

Madam Miao sighed and said, “Daughter, I’ll say it again, let go... If it’s a living person, with my daughter’s standard, I’m confident in your abilities! However, against a dead person, even if you’re a fairy from the nine heavens, you will never be able to replace the memory of her in his mind! Even if you forced yourself into his heart, you would only be a substitute, a replacement. If that’s really the case, will you be resigned?”

“So he... actually has such a painful past. He’s so true to his feelings... If I let such a good man pass by so simply, where will I go to find another...” Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes misted over and she sighed with great heartache. “To think that he... is actually carrying such pain in his heart...”

Madam Miao sighed helplessly. “Daughter, it’s not that mother is trying to pour cold water over you... but you need to know that regardless of men or women, everyone inevitably has a dream in their heart! Even a girl with absolutely no experience will also have a dream, a shadow in her heart, that will never disappear...

“No matter how cruel or evil a man becomes in the future, or even... how incorrigibly perverted! But... the first girl to ever enter that man’s heart will forever be his goddess!”

Madam Miao emphasized seriously. “Any girl that comes after will likely never be able to replace the first girl! Even if those girls are ten thousand times better... In the heart of the man, the most precious and beautiful will forever be that first love whom he fell head over heels for in his youth! It will be the first girl he ever liked; not the first girl he ever gets!

“The same goes for us women! No matter how scheming or loose a girl becomes... no matter how promiscuous she is, whether she works in a brothel or has tasted the lips of ten thousand men, sharing her bed with thousands... her heart will always remember the first man she fell in love with! In front of that man, no matter how many years she spent leading an immoral life, she will still be that shy and innocent girl...”

Madam Miao’s words became heavier. “Xiao Miao... do you understand what I’m trying to say? Men and women are essentially the same... their first and initial innocent love will never be forgotten even if they die. Your situation right now is exactly so...”

“And that Mo Jun Ye obviously belongs to the other side of the coin... his heart had already been given to another,” Madam Miao sighed lightly and said. “Do you know why he was hesitant in front of your charms, even outrightly rejecting you? Because he’s scared! He’s scared that you will shake the position and the memory of that girl in his heart! He doesn’t dare to try, and he doesn’t dare to bet!”

Miao Xiao Miao clenched her little fists and said in a pitiful manner, “But... mother, since he has such a memory in his heart, he’s literally suffering day and night in his memories. Wouldn’t that be an extremely tiring thing? No one is able to understand him, and he could not confide in anyone... what shall he do then? He’s a man with the Free and Natural Physique, so he’s destined to be have a very long life. Does he have to suffer and be in pain for the rest of his life? That... isn’t it too heartbreaking... How can I just sit by and watch as he drowns in his sorrows day and night? I have to save him; I have to...”

Madam Miao was completely stumped, he tongue speechless!

She said so much out of concern, in hopes that her daughter would know how to give up. But who would have thought that her words would instead achieve the opposite effect? Miao Xiao Miao’s heart was indeed...

Looks like there’s truly no saving this lass anymore. She may have understood the reason now, but she’d instead fallen deeper into the web of love...

“Then do you know why he suddenly became so cold today? There’s no other reason than the fact that your relationship with Little Beansprout is too close! The two of you are practically one set, completely inseparable. The moment you enter his life, it will mean that Little Beansprout follows as well! That will definitely turn into a huge threat to the position in his heart; even a challenge for him! Do you understand?”

Madam Miao was still trying to put in the final bit of effort to steer her away from these muddy waters. “Furthermore, if his first impression was set, then in the future, whenever you and Little Beansprout are together, he will always grow suspicious! As long as you and Little Beansprout accomplish a certain thing together, he would instead grow repulsed! Following a person like that, what happiness can there be? Daughter, just let go, don’t wait until things are too late before you regret!

“Could it be that in the entire Misty Illusory Manor, among the eight great families combined, and the countless small and medium families, there is not be a single person among the sea of geniuses who can compare with Mo Jun Ye?” Madam Miao asked exasperatedly.

“Disregarding whether there’s anyone who can match up to him... Mo Ye is simply too pitiful...” Miao Xiao Miao had already painted Jun Mo Xie as a perfect man of sorrows. Blinking sadly, she continued. “A man like that who could face my beauty and talent with such calmness, and even completely disregard our Miao Family’s background and reject me... Mother, such a person obviously views riches and power as floating clouds, unflinching in the face of great temptations! Such a person is one who truly places importance on relationships, a truly unique man in this world! Wasn’t this how you’ve been teaching me all along? Now that things have reached this level, have you changed your views?

“Could it be that you want me to leave such a wondrous man to marry a mediocre, lustful and untalented wastrel of those large families instead? All for the sake of the large power behind them that could provide help for our family?

“All those so-called talented juniors are all just a bunch of vain losers! Mother, didn’t you ask me if there’s really no one who can compare with Mo Jun Ye? I will tell you seriously right now, there’s really no one who can match him! Those lofty aristocratic disciples are nowhere even comparable to a single toe on his foot!”

Miao Xiao Miao laughed proudly, seemingly declaring to the heavens as she raised her hands and said in a loud voice, “Because in this world, only he is named Mo Jun Ye! Nobody else is! And I only want him!”

“Mother, don’t you think that this name is very cool? Mo Jun Ye! Ink (Mo) as dark as night, filled with the noble demeanor of a gentleman (Jun)... he who is like the night (Ye)...” Miao Xiao Miao giggled in a silly manner...

Looking at the look on her daughter’s face, Madam Miao sighed heavily with helplessness. She wondered how, with her gentle and composed personality, had she given birth to such a stubborn girl?

Wanting to find out the intricacies behind everything...

Perhaps, Madam Miao was also too emotionally involved and had forgotten about something very important as well. In her analysis, Mo Jun Ye was a man broken in love. But she hadn’t realized that Miao Xiao Miao was actually the same as well! She had fallen in love with the first person who’d caught her fancy—Mo Jun Ye!
