Yueyao walked to the backyard and, observing the thick layer of snow that covered the bamboo, went forward and shook it, causing the snow to pitter-patter as it fell.
Xi Juan was about to laugh at Yueyao's childlike behavior, but then she saw Yueyao pick up a bamboo leaf, put it to her lips, and a melodious tune began to resonate throughout the Lanxi Courtyard.
In her previous life, Yueyao had also dabbled in musical instruments; she was most proficient with the zither, followed by the flute. However, it was in the Nunnery that she had learned to play music with leaves. Life in the Nunnery was monotonous, and once, with nothing to do on the back mountain, she took it up as a pastime. Later, whenever she had free time, she would go there to play tunes for fun. Because of this, the Great Grandmaster never allowed her to take the tonsure, claiming that her worldly attachments were not yet severed.
