Yoon-jae opened the box and took out a red ribbon. After putting it away he flicked his hand causing the ribbon to go twirling out. It ford a circle around his body, showing off his expertise in using it.
Ding~ Ding~
The bells around Yoon-jae’s ankles then rang out as he got up with a spin. The ribbon slowly rose into the air with his spin and shockingly it sohow kept its shape.
The disciples all watch in amazent. They realized that Yoon-jae wasn’t using any Aether Energy or Soul Energy to control the ribbon despite it looking like a treasure. It was all skill. However, his display of his skills with the ribbon didn’t end there, it was only starting.
With the sound of silent swishing and the ringing of bells, Yoon-jae began dancing. His steps were light making it seem like he was gliding across the deck. The disciples all instinctively step back a little more to give him space.
Yoon-jae didn’t hesitate to use this excess space, the movent of the ribbon’s intricate twirls extended further.
Suddenly the sound of music started to fill the air. Cheong-su had begun playing his zither. Imdiately, silence befell the disciples, and their attention was wholly focused on Yoon-jae’s movents as if they were entranced.
At the edge of the clearing, Sol was watching Yoon-jae’s performance with a huge grin on his face. However, he suddenly thought of sothing and without hesitation he ford several hand seals to create a few yellow runes. He then sent these runes out and they traversed several tens of ters towards the lights that lit this area of the deck.
The lighting noticeably got darker as the runes obscured the light crystals. The disciples were at first about to rage as the area had gotten so dark that Yoon-jae’s movents almost beca unnoticeable. However, the moonlight from above quickly illuminated the deck.
The veil Yoon-jae was wearing seed to be reacting to the silver moonlight and it began to glow. Soon white specs started drifting down from the veil, but due to Yoon-jae’s movents, they began to scatter. However, this created shocking scenery.
The white specs glittered even more brightly under the silver radiance of the moonlight making them look like stars surrounding Yoon-jae. Adding his white robes shimring under the moonlight as well, he suddenly transford into a brightly lit moon that was surrounded by twinkling stars.
What’s even more, the white specs didn’t fall to the ground but stayed afloat and continued to orbit Yoon-jae. His red ribbon moved within the white specs around him, and a few followed its intricate movents.
Mar-Dule’s mouth was left agape when he saw this scene, but if even he was reacting like this one could only imagine how the other disciples were feeling.
Altair and Quilt were initially enraged upon seeing Yoon-jae using their stolen treasures, but their emotions soon beca complicated because Yoon-jae’s dance was simply too stunning. They had similar dances on the Western Continent, and even Altair’s Elvian Race were known as the best dancers. However, they were nothing compared to what he was currently witnessing.
Yoon-jae’s movents weren’t fast or slow, nor did he perform any exaggerated movents. Because of this, Altair and Quilt along with everyone else, found themselves slowly tracing his movent, gradually having their consciousness sucked into the dance.
With a swish of the red ribbon, the slight sway of the veil during every movent, and especially the steps that seed in sync with the music, it was not an exaggeration to say that everyone was srized by Yoon-jae.
Even as Yoon-jae’s dance ca to an end, with him returning to a seiza position in the center of the clearing, everyone remained dazed.
Yoon-jae collected the red ribbon and white veil after finishing before heading to where he took off his shoes and put them on.
Ushi was the only one who started clapping and that seed to wake the other disciples who imdiately began clapping.
Yoon-jae still seed nonchalant as he stepped out of the clearing. Ushi stuck close to him and began raining down complints on him.
The disciples were still in a bit of a daze after Yoon-jae left but they soon started to excitedly discuss his performance. If Sol’s dance instilled a sense of victory in them, then Yoon-jae’s dance instilled a feeling of longing.
It didn’t take long for these drunk disciples to start trying out Sol and Ushi’s dance. As for trying out Yoon-jae’s, no one tried to imitate that. For one, it would be too embarrassing, and two, it would be even more embarrassing if they tried and failed.
However, even for Sol and Ushi’s dance, they got the movents down but failed to get the feeling right. As the party continued Sol went around giving pointers to these disciples who decided to try his dance.
A few days soon went by like this and this wasn’t the only ti Sol beca a teacher. He fulfilled his promise to Mu Zhang and gave pointers to the Wine Pavilion disciples. But his thod of giving pointers wasn’t so simple, it stunned the Wine Pavilion disciples.
When Sol gathered them, he began pointing at random disciples and giving them advice without actually seeing their brewing process to know what to correct. The disciples’ initially believed Sol wasn’t taking this seriously, but they quickly realized that his advice had significant effects on these disciples.
It was soti later that Sol explained he had analyzed all of the wine he purchased from them just from their sll alone to deduce a few surface-level problems with their brewing thods. As for how Sol knew who brewed what wine, he claid that each wine had their distinct aroma, and he could sll this aroma on each disciple. When everyone heard his explanation, they couldn’t help but be floored by his thods.
A few of them even began sniffing themselves to see if it was true, but they couldn’t sll anything no matter how hard they tried. This made them wonder how strong Sol’s senses must be to detect this distinct aroma on them.
So of the disciples were definitely skeptical of Sol’s claim, but he didn’t offer any more explanation than that. For his Omniscient ability that allowed him to project his senses, this was the least shocking thing it could do.
For Sol helping and giving them pointers, the Wine Pavilion disciples decided to help out with his parties. Arwin, En-ho, and Bai-yin were the ones who especially appreciated this.
Sol’s wine parties didn’t just stop on the first day, they continued. During the day, the disciples would mingle with their group or try to observe the blurry scenery below the ship. While at night they would go crazy.
However, on the fourteenth day, the relaxed attitude of the disciples changed drastically, and they were reminded of how dangerous this journey was.
