Listening Downward, I Hear the Startling Wind

[Complete] Synopsis Yu Hui, the Immortal Lord of Qingjiang, comes from a distinguished family and is warmhearted. Everything in his life has gone smoothly, except that he got stuck with two troublesome friends and has been forced to serve as their messenger ever since. One day, he flew 1,800 li on his sword... “A Luan is back. He says you're even now, and he never wants to see your face again.” “If he doesn't want to see me, fine. Tell him to get his things out of my palace as soon as possible. Every last one of them!” Yu Hui flew 1,800 li back on his sword... “He told you to move all your things out.” “No. Throw them away.” Yu Hui flew another 1,800 li on his sword... “A Luan said to throw everything away.” “I gave him priceless treasures. He can't just throw them away!” In the end, Yu Hui helped haul the things back himself. They filled three hundred carts. A few months later, Si Wei casually asked, “How has he been lately?” Yu Hui replied, “Very well. Ever since the news got out that you'd split up, Yuechuan Valley has been packed with visitors. Some people gave him mountains of gold and jade, others showered him with dazzling, rainbow-colored light.” Si Wei flew into a rage. “Hasn't there been a single bad thing? I don't believe it.” He dropped everything and went to see for himself. When he arrived, a spellcaster was conjuring a sea of stars across the mountains. Feng Huaiyue, the most beautiful man in the world, was leaning against a perfumed boat as it drifted downstream. He wore a jade crown and fine robes, his eyes hazy with drink. First, he drank to his heart's content with everyone; then he clapped his hand against a wine jar and sang. Night became as bright as day, and laughter rang without end. Si Wei glared at him, surrounded by dark, murderous energy. Then he spat out, “He has me in his heart!” Yu Hui asked in confusion, “How can you tell?” Theme: After all the sand has been blown away, gold is what remains.
