People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 109 Tomoyo sings so well, hehehehe~ how about we sing it again!

Ye Hui looked at her composed demeanor and shrugged inwardly.

In fact, Sakura is just a very normal elementary school girl.

On the contrary, Tomoyo is not like an elementary school student at all.

The feeling Ye Hui got from her was that he always felt like he was facing a beautiful, generous, gentle, and cute 25-year-old girl who hadn't fully grown up yet.

Moreover, an ordinary girl in such a dark and silent environment would probably have screamed in fright or hidden behind someone.

Sakura is doing quite well now.

Tomoyo, however, was able to remain extremely calm and even had the mind to record the scene.

Sigh... these two girls next to me are both extraordinary!

One is a magician who can use Clow Cards.

One is a gentle and calm young lady.

With two people often by his side, Ye Hui couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Tomoyo, I heard from Sakura that you often stay at school to practice choir, right? Did you hear this strange singing voice when you practiced before?" Kero turned to look at Tomoyo and asked curiously.

Tomoyo gently shook her head: "Even when I practice, it's usually no later than seven o'clock. At that time, there are still teachers and students from other clubs in the school, so it's not deserted. Therefore, I have never heard any singing."

"Furthermore, the music classroom is locked at night. Although there is a spare key outside the door in case someone forgets something and needs to come back to get it, very few people go in except for classes and club activities during the day."

Just as they were talking.

Suddenly, a faint singing voice drifted from the end of the corridor.

The singing was soft, yet exceptionally ethereal and clear, like spring water flowing through cracks in rocks, slowly spreading in the quiet night, carrying an indescribable gentleness.

"They're here!" Ye Hui immediately lowered his voice and looked in the direction from which the singing was coming.

"This is the mysterious singing voice Naoko was talking about! It sounds really beautiful!" Sakura's eyes lit up. "I think Yukito-nii will definitely like it!"

Sakura's fear was instantly replaced by a kind of excitement, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

"Shh." Ye Hui gently raised one index finger.

Sakura quickly covered her mouth, then looked at Ye Hui with her big eyes and nodded.

After careful listening, the group confirmed that the singing was coming from the direction of the music classroom.

Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi exchanged a glance, decided not to waste any more time, quickened their pace, and ran towards the music classroom.

Kero followed closely beside Sakura, flapping its wings rapidly.

As he ran, Ye Hui didn't forget to glance at the system task log that had suddenly refreshed out of the corner of his eye.

[The Dharma Protector, Ji Zhishi, is not only exceptionally talented in cultivating immortality, but also proficient in music. He was once favored by the elder of the Music Hall of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect and regarded as their most beloved disciple.]

After learning this news by chance, you decide to please her by finding a fine celestial zither to gift to her, hoping to increase her affection for you!

Your investigation reveals that the Music Hall of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect possesses a priceless ancient zither with exceptional sound quality! You decide to retrieve it and present it to Zhi Shi of the Great Dao Temple! You firmly believe she will be deeply grateful to you!

However, the process of acquiring the Immortal Harp was not smooth sailing. Your competitors included Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple with a Heavenly Spiritual Root; Li Xiaolang, a cultivation prodigy; and Li Meiling, a body-cultivating girl. You vowed in your heart that this time, you would surpass everyone and outshine them all!

[Ding! You have refreshed the side quest "Ancient Qin Fairy Fate"! Successfully completing this quest will greatly increase Daidouji Tomoyo's affection for you. We hope you will do your best to win her heart!]

Ye Hui smacked his lips.

The Clow Cards have been downgraded again. Previously, the cards either had offensive capabilities or special spells, making them terrifying monsters.

When it comes to karuta, it can only be associated with a fine guqin, becoming something to be listened to.

Although it doesn't really have much offensive power, the cards that Kuro Rido left behind are really strange.

Could it be that Clow Reed used it specifically to listen to tunes?
That was really enjoyable!

However, just as they were about to reach the music classroom door...

A hand suddenly emerged from the shadows beside her and gently patted Sakura's shoulder.

"Wow!"

The sudden touch made Sakura tense up instantly, letting out a short scream and instinctively taking a step forward.

Her jump itself wasn't a big deal, but the little one on her shoulder reacted much more violently.

“A ghost—!”

Xiao Ke let out a scream comparable to a dolphin's cry, its two little wings flapping wildly, like a runaway little cannonball.

It flew eight meters away with a "whoosh".

Finally, with a splat, it stuck to the wall at the end of the corridor.

Then it slowly slid down the wall and flowed to the ground, taking a long time to recover.

"Hey! You two, what are you yelling about all of a sudden!" A voice, equally startled, came from the shadows.

Immediately afterwards, two familiar figures emerged from the darkness.

It was Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling.

Li Xiaolang remained in the same outstretched hand position, his face showing shock and surprise.

Clearly, he hadn't expected that a simple pat on the shoulder would elicit such a strong reaction.

Li Meiling patted her chest, her chest heaving, her face still showing signs of shock.

He was clearly quite frightened by Sakura and Kero's reactions.

"Oh...it was you guys..." Sakura breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling, and patted her chest.

"How did you get here, and why did you suddenly pat me on the back!" Xiao Ke recovered her senses, her soul almost leaving her body, and she stumbled back.

Upon recognizing Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling, it became furious, placing its paws on its hips and circling around them, barking loudly.

"You two brats and brats! You almost scared me to death!"

"You guys scared us to death, okay!" Li Meiling retorted without backing down. "Who told you to react so strongly and shout so loudly? You almost scared the soul out of me!"

Ye Hui walked over to Keroberos and lifted it down from the air: "Keroberos, your reaction is way too exaggerated, isn't it? You are the sealing beast that protects the Clow Cards, how come you are even more timid than Sakura? Just now, you were only lightly patted on the shoulder, and you immediately launched yourself and flew away."

"I...I was just having a normal stress response!" Xiao Ke struggled in his arms, stubbornly insisting, "Besides, who told that brat to suddenly slap someone from behind! In this pitch-black corridor, you would have been startled too!"

[Kerberos's Mood Value +14]

Although he wouldn't be frightened, he could sense when someone approached him.

However, to some extent, what Xiao Ke said was not wrong.

Ye Hui glanced at Li Xiaolang beside him.

He had a "I did nothing wrong" expression on his face.

They clearly didn't realize how frightening it would be if someone suddenly reached out from the shadows and slapped them in the middle of the night in an empty corridor.

However, given Li Xiaolang's emotional intelligence, he probably genuinely doesn't understand why Sakura and Kero reacted so strongly.

"What are you two doing here?" Ye Hui asked, knowing the answer already.

"Hmph, of course we're here to capture the Clow Cards too!" Li Meiling raised her chin. "We sensed the presence of the Clow Cards this afternoon and were planning to come and check it out tonight, but we didn't expect to run into you guys!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke became even more excited.

It broke free from Ye Hui's hand, flew to Li Xiaolang, and lectured him in a senior's tone: "Let me tell you, capturing the Clow Cards is no joke, it can be dangerous if you're not careful! You two should go home right away, this is not a place for you!"

"Who are you calling 'little brat'?" Li Xiaolang frowned, clearly displeased with Xiao Ke's form of address.

"That's exactly what I'm calling!" Xiao Ke continued to provoke without fear. "You're not even ten years old yet, what else should I call you but 'kid'? Should I call you 'old man'?"

"You!" Li Xiaolang was speechless, choked by the words.

For this Kuro-Sealed Beast, he was indeed not even ten years old and could be considered a little kid.

Xiao Ke's words, though blunt, were not wrong.

After criticizing Li Xiaolang, Xiao Ke turned her attention to Li Meiling.

"And you brat, you were beaten so badly by the card battle last time that you couldn't even stand up. Haven't you learned your lesson? Capturing the Clow Cards requires magic power, and you have nothing. This is not a place for you at all!"

Xiao Ke kept shouting back and forth.

Anyone with eyesight can see it.

It was quite frightened earlier and now wants to retaliate by picking a fight and confronting everyone who scared it.

"Mind your own business!" Li Meiling glared at Xiao Ke. "I'm here today to avenge myself! I wasn't prepared last time, but I'm sure I can help this time!"

"Let me tell you, I'm here today to avenge this humiliation!"

"You?" Keroberos curled her lip in disdain, flapping her wings twice. "You don't even have the most basic magic power, and you can't even sense the aura of the Clow Cards. What are you going to do to fight the Clow Cards? Don't end up like last time, needing someone else to save you."

“It’s really too dangerous here, Meiling.” Li Xiaolang frowned as well. “The abilities of the Clow Cards are unknown. You don’t have any magic power. If you encounter an emergency, you won’t be able to handle it at all. I think you should go back first. I’ll tell you about the situation when I’ve captured the Clow Cards and returned home.”

Li Meiling pouted, clearly unwilling to leave just like that.

She looked around, then suddenly turned to Tomoyo beside her and said defiantly, "Then why is she allowed to come? She looks just like me, an ordinary girl!"

Until now.

Li Meiling was unaware that Zhi Shi was also cultivating immortality with Ye Hui.

I always thought she was just an ordinary elementary school girl who liked taking pictures.

Upon hearing this, Tomoyo gently shook the camera in her hand, a gentle smile appearing on her face, and explained naturally, "I am the team's support staff, responsible for recording everyone's process of capturing the Clow Cards. I will not participate in the battle directly, so there is no need to worry about danger."

"I should have brought a camera too..." Li Meiling muttered under her breath, then immediately puffed out her chest. "But anyway, my martial arts have improved a lot recently! If you don't believe me, just ask Ye Hui!"

[Li Meiling's mood score +9]

Ye Hui blinked innocently: "Huh? What? I don't know. You haven't asked me much these past two days."

"So I'm not quite sure how much you've improved."

"However, you don't need to worry too much."

Ye Hui smiled, and before Li Meiling could explode again, he changed the subject, "With me here, I will take good care of everyone and won't let anyone get hurt."

Tomoyo spoke up at the right moment, her voice gentle, defusing the previous argument: "Alright, everyone, our primary task now is to find that Clow Card and determine its power, isn't it?"

Li Meiling snorted coldly, turned her head away and stopped talking, but didn't move an inch.

Let her go? No way!

Kero flew back to Sakura's shoulder and muttered, "I'll let it slide today for Tomoyo's sake, but if you dare to scare people again, I won't let you off the hook!"

Tomoyo-chan, you're always the lubricant of the team!
No matter how loud the argument gets, the atmosphere immediately calms down as soon as she speaks.

at this time.

That ethereal and clear singing voice rang out once again.

This time, it was even clearer than before; they could even faintly hear fragments of the lyrics.

"The singing has started again!" Sakura immediately composed herself, becoming serious, and unconsciously tightened her grip on the Clow Cards in her pocket.

"The sound is coming from the music room!" Li Xiaolang carefully discerned the direction and quickly determined the source of the sound.

The group quickly walked to the door of the music classroom.

The classroom door was ajar, and a faint light shone through a thin crack. The singing was coming from that crack.

"It's inside!" Li Xiaolang lowered his voice, his eyes fixed on the door, his hand already quietly placed on the talisman at his waist, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Sakura gripped her wand tightly, took a deep breath, and stared intently at the crack in the door.

Tomoyo then raised the camera, the lens steadily aimed at Sakura's serious profile, clearly capturing even the slightly taut corners of her mouth.

Although Ye Hui was also observing the surrounding environment, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

This whole setup makes it seem like they're going to fight some ultimate boss.

When they went inside, they found that it was just a small shrimp.

Just as Li Xiaolang was about to reach out and push the door open, Li Meiling, who was standing next to him, was a step ahead and reached out to grab the doorknob first.

"I come!"

Li Meiling gave no one a chance to react, grabbed the doorknob, and pushed it hard.

"Bang!" The door slammed against the wall with a dull thud that was particularly jarring in the quiet corridor.

However, the expected scene of the Clow Cards being startled and appearing did not occur.

However, the ethereal singing stopped abruptly the moment the door was pushed open, as if someone had suddenly pressed the pause button.

The music room was empty except for the moonlight streaming through the window onto the piano, casting long shadows. There was not a sound to be heard.

"What...what are you doing?"

Li Meiling stared blankly at the empty classroom.

She was just thinking about how to help, and even prepared for potential dangers.

The sudden realization that there was only an empty classroom left her momentarily stunned.

Or rather, she was prepared to go all out, and this is how it turned out?

Li Xiaolang frowned and stepped forward: "Meiling! You were too reckless! You didn't even check the situation before opening the door. Now look what's happened, you've scared the Clow Cards away!"

"I... how was I supposed to know it would be so timid, disappearing as soon as the door opened!" Li Meiling knew she was in the wrong, so she lowered her voice, but still couldn't help but argue, "Besides, we were supposed to go inside anyway, we couldn't just stand outside forever!"

Kero flapped its wings and flew over, giving Li Meiling a good scolding: "You stupid girl! It's all your fault! Now the Clow Cards are gone, and we haven't even seen what they look like. Where are we supposed to find them?!"

“I…” Li Meiling was speechless and could only lower her head in grievance.

She just wanted to help, but she ended up messing things up instead.

Seeing her expression, Sakura quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, everyone, don't blame Meiling, she didn't mean it."

"And when Meiling opened the door just now, I felt like I could hear the singing even more clearly. Maybe that can help us pinpoint the location of the Clow Cards!"

Ye Hui listened quietly from the side.

Sakura is as kind as a little angel.

But that's precisely why everyone loves Sakura so much.

at this time.

That familiar song rang out once again.

This time, however, the sound didn't come from the music room, but rather drifted down from above.

"On the rooftop upstairs," Ye Hui said.

He then turned and walked toward the stairwell.

Xiao Ke shouted, "Hurry up and catch up, don't let it run away again!"

The group walked uphill and quickly ran to the entrance leading to the rooftop.

There was a small lock on the door.

However, this was not a difficult task for Ye Hui.

He took out a few talismans and waved them lightly. The talismans stuck to the lock and emitted a faint light.

The next second, the lock cylinder clicked open on its own.

"Let's go!" Ye Hui pushed open the door and walked out first.

The wind was strong on the rooftop, making people's hair and clothes flutter, and the night air was also a bit chilly.

However, the rooftop offered a completely unobstructed view, and apart from a few cardboard boxes piled up in the corner, there was no sign of the Clow Cards.

"Strange, there's clearly the aura of the Clow Cards here, where did it go?" Sakura looked around, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Of course, it's because it hid itself."

Ye Hui began to explain, while simultaneously activating his spiritual energy perception.

In his field of vision, a golden energy body emitting a soft glow floated in the center of the rooftop.

It is the true form of the karuta card, but it uses magic to hide its form, so ordinary people cannot see it.

"Sakura, don't you think the singing sounds a bit familiar?" Tomoyo asked softly, holding up her camera and looking towards the center of the rooftop, her tone tinged with uncertainty.

Sakura listened intently for a while, then her eyes suddenly widened: "It really is! This singing voice... it sounds like Tomoyo's voice! It's exactly the same as your voice when you practice singing in the choir!"

“That’s it!” Xiao Ke immediately agreed, her tone certain. “The karuta’s ability is to imitate other people’s singing, especially those who sing well! It must have heard Tomoyo sing before, which is why it’s imitating Tomoyo’s voice now!”

"Really?" Tomoyo smiled a little embarrassedly when she heard this. "This song is indeed the one our choir is going to use in the national competition. It's called 'Cherry Blossom Song.' I've been practicing it a lot lately, so it probably heard me."

"I see!" Sakura suddenly realized and nodded. "No wonder I thought the singing was so beautiful, it turns out it was an imitation of Tomoyo's singing!"

"Since it's imitating Tomoyo's singing, then our previous battle plan is even less of a problem."

Ye Hui's lips curled slightly. "As long as Zhi Shi sings a song, we can definitely lure it out, and then we can take the opportunity to subdue it."

Ye Hui turned to look at Tomoyo: "Tomoyo, it's up to you now."

"But does it really work?" Tomoyo tilted her head.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +5】

Ye Hui nodded, looking completely matter-of-fact: "Of course, as the saying goes, 'the one who tied the knot must untie it.' Since the karuta was attracted by your singing and even imitated your voice, it would be most appropriate for you to bring it out."

Actually, he could just point out the location of the song card and seal it away.

but……

How can we hear Tomoyo's singing then?
Ahem, he was just following the original plot. Yeah, that's it!

"Hmm, you want me to sing in front of everyone all at once?" Tomoyo gently clenched the hem of her clothes.

"Tomoyo, do your best! You sing so well, you'll definitely be fine!" Sakura moved closer to Tomoyo, nodding vigorously to encourage her.

Ye Hui also smiled and said, "Don't worry, Tomoyo, we all believe in you. You don't need to think too much. Just sing this 'Cherry Blossom Song' in its entirety, just like you usually practice."

He paused, then added, "I believe your singing will move this Clow Card, making it willingly reveal itself!"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +16】

Looking at the encouraging looks in their eyes, Tomoyo took a deep breath and slowly nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try."

She put down the camera in her hand, handed it to Ye Hui for safekeeping, and then walked to the center of the rooftop and stood still.

The night breeze gently lifted her long, black hair, and the strands swayed slightly in the air.

The moonlight shone on her, casting a soft halo around her, making her look exceptionally serene.

The next second, a clear and ethereal singing voice slowly began to play.

It is the melody of "Sakura no Uta" (Cherry Blossom Song).

Tomoyo's voice was soft, yet it carried a power that penetrated the heart, lingering and flowing in the silent night sky, even making the wind on the rooftop seem gentler.

Ye Hui stood aside, quietly appreciating the scene.

He had to admit that Tomoyo's singing seemed to possess a special kind of magic.

Just one listen is enough to instantly calm you down, as if all your troubles will be soothed by the song.

If there truly is such a thing as heavenly music in the world, then it must be the singing of Tomoyo right now!

He picked up Tomoyo's camera and his own, pointed them at the figure in the center of the rooftop, and pressed the record button.

Such a beautiful scene should definitely be recorded forever!
Ye Hui smiled.

The plan for a screening room also needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible!

I need to urge the housekeeper when I get back to get him to start preparing.

In this way, I can relive Chise's singing and spiritual practice anytime, anywhere.

The song is over.

The lingering notes of the song still echoed gently in the night sky.

Everyone was immersed in the beautiful melody and remained silent for a long time.

Even the usually boisterous Keto was now quietly perched on Sakura's shoulder, its eyes filled with bliss, forgetting even to wave its paws.

at this time.

A pale pink light slowly shone from the center of the rooftop.

The chorus card has finally appeared.

It hovered in mid-air, its shape like a transparent petal, and gracefully curtsied to Tomoyo.

He was clearly completely captivated by her singing.

"It worked!" Sakura exclaimed excitedly in a low voice, realizing what had happened.

"Sakura, now's the time!" Ye Hui reminded her.

Actually, Ye Hui wanted to hear it a few more times.

But delaying it isn't a solution, and besides, such "selfish" actions would also cause trouble for others.

Sakura snapped out of her daze, nodded, and raised her wand high: "Restore your original form, Clow Card!"

The chord smiled, offering no resistance, and obediently transformed into a beam of light.

It then fell into Sakura's hand and became a Clow Card.

Li Meiling stepped forward, hands on her hips, and said defiantly, "Hmph, if it were me singing, the karuta would definitely come up! I've been practicing singing lately!"

Kero leaped off Sakura's shoulder and mercilessly retorted, "With your tone-deaf voice? Don't be ridiculous, you'd probably scare the karuta cards away!"

"What did you say! Do you know how well I sing?!" Li Meiling's eyes widened in anger, and she was about to retort when Xiaoying's shout interrupted her.

"Oh no!" Sakura exclaimed in frustration.

"What's wrong, Sakura?" Tomoyo quickly went over and asked with concern.

Sakura held up the Clow Cards, her lips almost pouting to the sky, her voice filled with grievance: "I... I was so focused on catching the Clow Cards that I forgot to record the karuta songs! I was going to record them to take back to Yukito-nii..."

She had even prepared a voice recorder beforehand.

But at the crucial moment, they completely forgot about it!

How could she be so stupid!

Maybe Onii-chan is right, she can be a little idiot sometimes!
"Oh, what does it matter!"

Kero flew over and waved its paws dismissively. "Anyway, this karuta card imitates Tomoyo's singing voice. Why don't you just ask Tomoyo to sing it for you again and record it?"

“That’s different!” Sakura immediately retorted. “The way the karuta sang just now was different from how Tomoyo usually sings. It had a special kind of magic about it, well, I can’t really explain it…”

Looking at her, Ye Hui couldn't help but shrug and say with a smile, "Who said there's no way?"

"Huh?" Sakura looked up at him.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +9]

Ye Hui walked up to Xiaoying and pointed to the song card in her hand.

"Sakura, have you forgotten that you are now the owner of this karuta card? As long as you write your name on the card, you can control its power."

He paused, then continued, "Once you sign your name on the Clow Card, you can command it to do anything—for example, make it sing that 'Cherry Blossom Song' again, so you can record it, right?"

"Oh right! I almost forgot about that!" Sakura immediately realized and thanked Ye Hui, "Thank you for reminding me, Ye Hui!"

She immediately took a pen out of her pocket and carefully wrote her name on the smooth surface of the lyric card.

—"Kinomoto Sakura".

The words had just been written.

The karuta then emitted a pale pink glow.

The karuta sprite, dressed in a gorgeous long gown and with a figure as light as a flower petal, reappeared before everyone.

The karuta floated in front of Sakura, gracefully bowing with a respectful and gentle demeanor.

"Please sing that song again!" Sakura said.

Then, an ethereal singing voice rang out again on the rooftop.

"Wow! It really works!" Sakura quickly took out the high-end voice recorder that Tomoyo had given her and pressed the record button.

The song ended once again.

Sakura finally pressed the stop button with satisfaction, carefully put the recorder into her pocket, her face full of excitement.

"Great! Now I can bring such a beautiful song back to Brother Snow Rabbit, he'll definitely love it!"

Looking at the scene before him, Ye Hui suddenly had an even more interesting idea. He looked at Sakura and Tomoyo and suggested, "Sakura, why don't we have Karuta and Tomoyo do a duet? Tomoyo's original voice, combined with Karuta's imitation, would definitely be very special, whether it's harmonies or a duet."

When Tomoyo heard this suggestion, her eyes lit up, and she was somewhat tempted.

She looked at the lyric board and nodded slightly: "I also think this would be interesting, let's give it a try."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

As Tomoyo softly began to speak, the karuta cards followed in perfect unison.

Tomoyo's voice is clear and gentle, carrying the delicate emotions of a real person.

The sound of the karuta is ethereal and pure, perfectly replicating the melodies.

Two distinct yet seemingly similar, at least equally beautiful, sounds intertwined.

It flows through the silent night sky.

Everyone held their breath.

Immerse yourself in this unique music.

At this moment, even the wind seemed to become gentler.

The song ended.

Sakura excitedly hugged Tomoyo's arm, her voice full of admiration: "Tomoyo! Your duet with the karuta was so beautiful! I dare say, it's absolutely the most beautiful sound I've ever heard in the world!"

Tomoyo smiled and gently patted Sakura's back: "Really? I'm just glad I can make Sakura like it."

Ye Hui stood aside watching them, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

Tonight, I not only successfully captured the karuta card, but I also heard Tomoyo sing twice.

I even heard such a unique duet.

This nighttime campus exploration was totally worth it!

Not to mention, he also accomplished a task along the way.

Sakura held the voice recorder like a treasure, taking it out to look at it every now and then, completely satisfied.

"With this recorder, I can listen to Tomoyo and Karuta's duets anytime, anywhere. I'm so happy!"

Looking at how much she treasured it, Ye Hui suddenly had an urge to snatch the recording pen from Xiaoying's hand.

However, he quickly suppressed it.

Anyway, he recorded it, which is even more impressive than recording it!

As for the audio version, I'll just ask Sakura for a backup when I get back.

As Tomoyo watched Sakura's joyful expression, the tenderness in her purple eyes softened even more.

She said softly, "Sakura, if you like, I can sing with the karuta for you often in the future."

After saying that, she glanced at Ye Hui again: "Of course, Ye Hui can listen too~"

"Yay!" Sakura nodded vigorously and then checked the time on her phone.

It's almost eleven o'clock.

She was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "We should go home. If we don't go back soon, Dad and my brother will definitely worry if they find out I'm not home, and they might even come looking for us!"

No one had any objection.

Sakura carefully put away the recorder and song card, walked over to Tomoyo, and affectionately took her arm.

The group arrived at the playground of Youzhi Elementary School and prepared to leave.

Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling planned to climb over the wall from the other side.

Sakura plans to use the flying card to go straight home.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi decided to walk together for a while before parting ways.

It can be said that each person has their own way of bypassing the Great Firewall.

"Then let's part ways here, since we're going in different directions anyway," Ye Hui said, glancing at the group.

His house and Tomoyo's house are in the same direction, and of course, they are also very close to Sakura's house, but the directions they start from here are different.

Sakura and Li Xiaolang were in two different directions, so there was really no need for them to travel together.

When Ye Hui got home from school, he would usually sneak away first.

"Wait, Ye, you forgot to comprehend the Clow Cards!" Sakura suddenly remembered something and quickly stuffed the karuta card in her hand into Ye Hui's hand. "Every time you capture a new Clow Card, you have to comprehend its power. Don't forget!"

"Ah, I almost forgot, thank goodness you reminded me, Sakura." Ye Hui was taken aback and took the song card with some embarrassment.

Just now, all I could think about was Tomoyo's singing and the melody of the duet.

I almost completely forgot about the task.
"Thank you, Sakura." Ye Hui smiled at Sakura, and just as his fingertip touched the karuta card, a system notification popped up.

[You forcibly borrowed a fine guqin from Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root! Although she was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to submit under your coercion and enticement!]

[You have begun to comprehend the profound principles of music contained within this celestial zither, attempting to claim its power for yourself!]

Ye Hui: “…”

Who did he coerce or bribe? Sakura clearly gave it to him happily!
And wasn't the previous mission to "dedicate the guqin to Zhishi"?

What's going on with this "Ye Hui"? Why did he take it and comprehend it himself?

They have no manners at all!

Where does he resemble him?

Just as he was grumbling to himself, the system notification sounded again.

[You have completed the side quest "Ancient Qin Fairy Fate"! You have obtained the reward supernatural power "Words Become Law"!]

[Words that carry power: Your words contain a subtle spiritual force that can subtly influence others' emotions, making them more receptive to your views.]

Oh? Words become law?
Ye Hui's eyes lit up.

He paused slightly after glancing at the system's introduction.

I originally thought that the so-called "words become law" was truly true.

In retrospect, it seems to be just a supernatural ability that can influence other people's thinking?
However, at first glance, this supernatural power doesn't seem to be very useful; at most, it's just a "talking aid" skill.

But Ye Hui quickly and astutely recognized its potential.

"Influence emotions and make it easier for others to accept your viewpoint."

If it can be further improved, wouldn't it be possible to truly develop in the direction of "word power"?

If what you say can come true, then that would truly be a divine power!

Unfortunately, it's still only at the "subtle" stage, and the effect is limited.

"If only I could have another chance to upgrade my supernatural powers..."

Ye Hui muttered to himself, then shook his head. "But it's not bad as it is now. One can't be too greedy. And if I keep relying on the system, when will I be able to grow on my own?"

Besides Sakura needing to grow up, he needs to grow up too!

Our current strength is far from enough!
It's just the foundation-building stage.

Becoming an immortal is still a long way off ╮(.ˇдˇ;)╭.

Overall, this supernatural ability has great potential.

Ye Hui nodded in satisfaction and returned the karuta card to Xiaoying.

"Have you finished your research, Yezi?" Sakura asked curiously, taking the card.

"Well, that's about it. The power of the karuta is very gentle and there's no danger. I'm comprehending it smoothly." Ye Hui smiled and put the system aside.

Now the time for true parting has finally come.

"Ye-kun, Tomoyo, thank you so much for tonight! Not only did we capture the Clow Cards, but we also heard such a wonderful song!" Sakura waved to the two of them, her face beaming. "See you at school tomorrow!"

See you tomorrow, take care on the road.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi responded with smiles.

Watching Sakura summon the Flying Card and her figure gradually disappear into the night, he turned and walked towards his home.

He took Tomoyo directly back to the manor before going home himself.

After returning to his villa.

The first thing Ye Hui did was to go into the bedroom, close the door, and then open the system panel, eager to check his gains over the past period.

[Emotional value: 4156 points (check the emotional value of the bonded object)]

[Unlock Bonds: Sakura Kinomoto, Tomoyo Daidouji, Cerberus, Meiling Li, Touya Kinomoto, Yukito Tsukishiro...]

Seeing the number "4156 points", Ye Hui's mood instantly improved.

All the hard work these past few days has paid off; I've accumulated a lot of positive emotions.

"It's time to spend some money! We're one step closer to a ten-pull!"

He pondered for a moment, then said to the system, "System, exchange for four adventure maps!"

You have successfully redeemed 4 "Adventure Maps"!

Including the two he had left over from last time, he now has a total of six adventure maps.

The 10-pull progress is already more than halfway done!
After processing the emotion value, Ye Hui closed the panel with satisfaction.

Just as he was about to wash up and rest, a sudden inspiration flashed into his mind.

Wait! He seems to have... forgotten something very important!
A wise attitude towards life!
I was so focused on checking the mood score and the exchange map that I almost forgot to check Tomoyo's attitude score.

Since the last time I had a "frank meeting" with Tomoyo in my dream.

Ye Hui hadn't had a chance to check if her attitude had changed.

Later, he was busy with his cultivation to reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment, "farming" in the spiritual herb world, and taking care of the World Tree sapling.

They completely forgot about it.

"My memory is getting worse and worse... Shouldn't cultivating immortality make me clearer?" Ye Hui raised his hand and patted his forehead.

Tomoyo truly made him lose his composure, and then lose his composure again.
