Travel through the heavens

In the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story: The Human World", there are two sisters: Fu Qingfeng, the older sister, played by Joey Wong, and Fu Yuechi, the younger sister, played by Michelle Reis.

Gu Yueqing's two close friends not only share the same name as them, but also bear a striking resemblance to Wang Zuxian and Li Jiaxin, respectively. Their temperaments also match those two characters: one is aloof and refined, like an orchid in a secluded valley, while the other is radiant and charming, like a lily in full bloom. And since they happen to be in this world of demons and ghosts, all these coincidences inevitably led Fang Muye to make connections with them.

Fang Muye's mind raced, but he showed no emotion on his face.

At this moment, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi also saw Fang Muye and Gu Yueqing.

"Sister Yueqing!" Fu Yuechi cheered immediately and rushed over like a swallow returning to its nest. She grabbed Gu Yueqing's arm and said in a clear voice, "I missed you so much. I'm sorry we're late and missed your big day."

Gu Yueqing's face was full of joy. She patted Fu Yuechi's hand and said with a smile, "It's alright. I'm overjoyed that you could come."

Fu Qingfeng slowed her pace slightly and walked up to Gu Yueqing. After a graceful curtsy, she said, "Qingfeng greets elder sister."

Her voice was gentle, completely different from Fu Yuechi's.

Gu Yueqing reached out to support her, playfully scolding, "You're always so polite. There's no need for such formalities between sisters."

Fu Qingfeng smiled faintly, looked Gu Yueqing over carefully, and asked with concern, "When I arrived, I saw that the gates of the mansion were destroyed. After asking the guards, I learned that an extremely powerful tiger demon came seeking revenge last night. Although I heard that the tiger demon was eventually killed, I imagine that it must have been extremely dangerous. Are you alright, sister?"

Due to time constraints, the guard had only given them a general overview, without going into the details.

Gu Yueqing was about to answer when Fu Yuechi spoke first: "Sister, look at Yueqing, her face is rosy, she doesn't look like anything's wrong."

Fu Qingfeng rolled his eyes at Fu Yuechi, his eyes not blaming her, but rather filled with a hint of doting helplessness: "You are always so impatient and impulsive."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuechi stuck out her tongue at Fu Qingfeng and made a funny face, looking quite charming and innocent.

Gu Yueqing felt a warm glow in her heart, grasped Fu Qingfeng's hand tightly, and smiled gently: "Yuechi is right, I'm really fine."

She spoke lightly, making no mention of her past serious injuries, clearly not wanting Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi to worry unnecessarily.

Seeing that her expression was indeed normal, Fu Qingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It's best that you're alright, sister."

Her eyes flickered and landed on Fang Muye, who had been standing quietly to the side for a long time with a gentle and refined demeanor. She said softly, "This... must be my brother-in-law?"

Gu Yueqing nodded and gracefully stepped aside to introduce him: "Indeed, this is my husband, Ning Zhuo, Ning Zizhan."

He then said to Fang Muye, "Zizhan, these two are Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi, my younger sisters whom I grew up with since childhood. Our bond is stronger than blood."

"Greetings, Miss Qingfeng and Miss Yuechi." Fang Muye bowed to the two women, his face bearing a gentle smile that was as warm as a spring breeze.

Fu Qingfeng curtsied in return: "Qingfeng greets brother-in-law and congratulates brother-in-law and sister on their wedding. Yuechi and I were delayed on the way and missed the auspicious time. We are very uneasy and ask for your understanding."

Her voice was melodious and her words were appropriate. Her clear gaze lingered on Fang Muye for a moment, carrying a hint of scrutiny and curiosity.

Is this the man Sister Yueqing entrusted her life to? Judging from his demeanor, gentle and reserved, with profound eyes, he is certainly not an ordinary scholar.

Fu Yuechi, on the other hand, was much more lively. She looked at Fang Muye with curiosity and gave a curtsy with a grin: "Yuechi greets brother-in-law! Today I finally get to see your true face. You are indeed a handsome man with an extraordinary demeanor. Sister Yueqing once told us in her letters that you are a learned scholar who has read extensively in the classics and history. In my opinion, you are quite different from those weak scholars."

She was innocent and straightforward, and since everyone around her was someone she knew, she said whatever came to mind.

Gu Yueqing gently scolded, "Yuechi, don't be naughty."

Her gaze couldn't help but drift to Fang Muye, recalling his imposing figure last night wielding thunder and suppressing evil demons, and ripples spread across her heart. Her husband was far more than just "different" from ordinary scholars.

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Yuechi." Fang Muye smiled and responded to Fu Yuechi first, then looked at Fu Qingfeng and said sincerely, "Miss Qingfeng, you flatter us. It is an honor for Zizhan and Yueqing that you two could come. You must have had a long and tiring journey. Please come inside and rest for a while and have a cup of tea."

The four of them returned to the backyard and sat down around the stone table.

After the maid served fragrant tea and everyone took a sip, Gu Yueqing asked with concern, "Qingfeng, you said you were delayed on the way. What happened?"

"Let me tell you, let me tell you." Fu Yuechi hurriedly put down her teacup, her eyes sparkling with excitement, her voice as clear as a lark's: "On our way here, we ran into a group of clueless robbers, which is why we were delayed for two days..."

Fu Yuechi immediately began to chatter on about how she encountered bandits on her journey, how she secretly investigated the strength of the mountain stronghold, how she broke into the stronghold and wiped out the bandits, and how she properly settled the property and innocent people looted by the bandits.

She spoke vividly, gesturing wildly, and Gu Yueqing and Fang Muye listened attentively, nodding in approval, which made her even more excited and full of pride.

After Fu Yuechi finished speaking, Gu Yueqing praised them for their thoroughness, courage, and resourcefulness. She then carefully instructed them to be cautious when traveling in the martial world and not to take risks easily just because they were skilled in martial arts.

Gu Yueqing, Fu Qingfeng, and Fu Yuechi had been reunited after a long separation, so they naturally had a lot to talk about. After sitting for a while, Fang Muyi took his leave, leaving the space for them to catch up.

Although it was only a short time together, Fang Muye learned a lot of information during their conversations.

Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi's father is indeed Fu Tianchou, who is now the governor of Jingzhou, holding supreme military and political power over the state. He and Gu Yueqing's father passed the imperial examination at the same time and are close friends who share a deep bond. After Gu's father died on the battlefield, Fu Tianchou took great care of Gu's widow and orphan, treating her like family.

When talking about their fathers' lineage, the three daughters smiled and mentioned two interesting stories.

The first matter was an agreement made between Fu Tianchou and Gu's father years ago: if their children were of different genders, they would marry; if they were both male and female, they would be brothers. Fortunately, both families received precious pearls, otherwise, there would have been no Ning Zizhan.

The second thing is that Gu Yueqing and the other two girls have had a good relationship since childhood. Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi were not originally called by this name. When they were five and three years old, they each took one character from the name "Yueqing" and changed it to this name, which means that the friendship between the three girls will last forever and shine together.

Fang Muye slowly left the courtyard, but his thoughts did not stop.

According to the plot of "A Chinese Ghost Story: The Human World", Fu Tianchou was framed and imprisoned. He was escorted to the capital for trial by Commander Zuo. Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi led a group to ambush at Zhengqi Manor in order to save their father, which is how they met Ning Caichen and Zhi Qiu Yiye.

Gu Yueqing did not participate in that rescue. Perhaps in the original trajectory, Gu Yueqing, along with Ning Zizhan, had already perished in the undeserved calamity of the tiger demon Yin Lie seeking revenge.

Now that he has transmigrated to this world, he has inadvertently replaced the original Ning Zizhan. He not only saved Gu Yueqing's life, but also used swift and decisive means to eliminate Yin Lie, thus changing the original storyline.

Given Gu Yueqing's relationship with the Fu family, the fates of the Fu sisters and Fu Tianchou will inevitably be redirected onto different trajectories because of the wings she quietly flapped.

Fang Muye stopped and looked up. The clouds in the sky were rolling and swirling, as if foreshadowing a brand new story about to unfold in this world.
