After that day, Master Wu Ai went into seclusion again and didn't emerge for many days.
'She's not avoiding me, is she? It's just a normal seclusion, right?'
'Yeah, she's definitely not avoiding me.'
'What's there to avoid?'
'Master Wu Ai must have heard that melody somewhere before, she just couldn't recall it right away.'
Du Youqian thought for a moment and recalled that the siblings, Du Yuxi and Du Yuhuan, had also heard him play "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer Melody."
'Maybe they once tried to replicate the melody in the Imperial Palace, and a court attendant overheard it, secretly recorded it, and it spread to the Dai Kingdom... Nah, I can't even make that story work.'
'So, Master Wu Ai is probably someone's reincarnation.'
'That someone could be Du Yuxi, or Du Yuhuan, or maybe...'
But Du Youqian didn't intend to find out.
Even if it were true, so what?
Master Wu Ai hadn't overcome the Mystery of the Womb, so saying anything at this point would be meaningless.
