Chapter 238: This brat is here?!
Following Gu Heng's gaze, Qin Yiyao saw Bai Feier with a cold expression walk straight to the only empty seat in the front row and sit down.
That spot belongs exclusively to the Bai family.
"Um……"
Qin Yiyao blinked.
Does Bai Feier also enjoy listening to music? Or is she simply here because she has "social" obligations?
Based on her understanding of Bai Feier, she was most likely the latter. Bai Feier was similar to herself, hardly caring about anything other than practicing swordsmanship. However, it was also possible that she knew the extraordinary woman who was going to perform on stage tonight, and that they had a close relationship.
"Miss Fei'er, it seems your cultivation has improved again after several months."
Liu Mo took the initiative to strike up a conversation, acting as if they were old acquaintances meeting.
"Young Master Liu is too kind."
Bai Feier glanced at him coldly, only casually making a distant remark, then picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and spoke with elegance.
She was very close to Liu Yu, but as for the rest of the Liu family...
For example, this Liu Mo in front of her is really a character whose integrity cannot withstand scrutiny. If it weren't for Liu Yu's sake, Bai Feier would really be too lazy to pay any attention to him.
There are many rumors about you. It is said that you had some kind of miraculous encounter, which is why you have soared to new heights again.
"I wonder if you could answer my question?"
Yan Zheng held the cup, his gaze growing increasingly serious, as if he wanted to see through all the secrets hidden in Bai Feier. However, no matter how he investigated, Bai Feier remained indifferent, and he had no way of figuring anything out.
But it wasn't just Yan Zheng; Liu Mo also wanted to know what Bai Feier had gone through in the past few months.
After all, it was common knowledge that Bai Feier had been poisoned by an evil cultivator in the Imperial Dynasty's Great Secret Realm. Although the Bai family tried their best to keep the news under wraps, the Liu family and the royal family still knew that Bai Feier had lost all her cultivation.
Yan Zheng knew quite a lot about it.
After all, King Yanxuan was particularly good at intelligence gathering, and he knew every detail about every major and minor event in the Bai family.
even.
Even after Bai Feier lost all her cultivation, she was ridiculed within her family and was eventually married off to the already declining Mo family in Qingmu City. The royal family knew all about this.
However, in just a few months, this prodigy of the Bai family suddenly returned to his peak.
This time, they couldn't find out any inside information, because it was said that the young lady was having some trouble with her family.
"...Today is Xiaoyu's solo performance, so don't keep focusing on me."
Bai Feier still didn't want to respond, only glancing at him indifferently, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
This kind of person still wants to pry into secrets?
Delusion!
Even if he could figure it out, what good would it do? It would probably only scare him and have no other purpose.
"Ah, here we come."
At that moment, on the high platform of Yanjiang Pavilion, which was covered by a curtain, a graceful figure was reflected on the curtain. She was beautiful and elegant, and you could see that she was holding an ancient stringed zither in her arms as she sat down.
Everyone quieted down and turned their attention to that spot.
Then, the curtain was slowly lifted, revealing a woman with a slender and graceful figure, dressed in simple clothes, with a fair complexion and a hint of arrogance between her brows.
She bowed gracefully, but said nothing, her jade-like hands already resting on the strings of the zither.
"...It was her."
Qin Yiyao murmured. She could see Liu Yu's cultivation level, but she really didn't expect that the woman who had temporarily boarded their ship would be the protagonist of tonight's performance.
After all, tonight's solo performance is by a prodigy disciple from "Thousand Sound Valley".
After Qin Yiyao crawled out of the coffin, she carefully learned about the powerful forces in the world. According to the rules of the world, a sect or family with a Saint-level cultivator in charge can be called "extraordinary".
The master of Thousand Sound Valley is a Saint-level expert.
Most of the prodigies who receive special training in such extraordinary forces are very high-profile, but Liu Yu clearly doesn't like such a high-profile style.
Well, coming to Yanjiang Pavilion wasn't her original intention, but now Qin Yiyao has become interested.
Let's see what kind of wonderful music this young lady, Liu Yu, can play.
"Ding--"
The sound of the piano began, melodious and graceful.
Melodious tunes flowed like water in all directions, immersing everyone in the rhythm.
Soon, the music reached its climax, and the style of the zither changed in an instant. What was originally a babbling brook became a roar of dragons and tigers, a long cry of falcons and phoenixes. Between the verses, hundreds of waves surged, and there was even the momentum of thousands of troops attacking!
Liu Yu moved slowly and steadily, her jade-like hands plucking the strings one after another, her fingertips flying across the strings, creating waves of sound, the clear sound of the zither flowing like a spring, each note following the last, like a roaring raging storm, like waves crashing against the shore!
A clear, melodious zither note suddenly rang out, its sound waves sharp as knives, its edge suddenly revealed!
"Hiss... What kind of piano technique is this?"
The guests gasped in astonishment, staring in surprise at Liu Yu, who was immersed in the captivating music on the stage.
Yan Zheng's expression was solemn, and he stared at Liu Yu with narrowed eyes.
The sound of this zither is infused with the power of Tao, and its charm and true meaning are almost non-stop, rising higher and higher with each wave of sound!
"That's somewhat interesting..."
Qin Yiyao murmured to herself, savoring the subtle, layered meaning of the music. This Miss Liu was indeed remarkable; her music could influence people invisibly.
After three or four cups of tea.
The song is over.
Liu Yu placed her hands on the strings, and the music gradually stopped, but the lingering notes still resonated in the air, and the many guests were still savoring the ever-changing melodies.
She put away her instrument, stood up, and bowed to the crowd below the stage.
"These are just my humble skills; I'm afraid I've made a fool of myself."
She was humble and polite, with impeccable manners, and her beautiful appearance and refined temperament immediately drew cheers and applause.
Bai Feier was also quite engrossed in listening, and felt happy for her good friend whom she hadn't seen for several years.
If things continue like this, everyone will have a bright future!
"Oh dear, everyone, you're too kind. My little sister still has room for improvement, so we can't let her get arrogant and complacent, hahaha..."
At this moment, Liu Mo was smiling as he responded to the compliments from many people. If Yan Zheng and Yan Feng weren't there, he probably wouldn't have bothered to pretend and would have burst into laughter.
His dear younger sister has really brought great prestige to the Liu family. "...Miss Liu Yu has entered the Dao through music. After not seeing her for several years, she has made such great progress. It is truly astonishing to me."
"However, now that the music has ended, I shall take my leave. After all, there are many official duties to attend to, and I cannot leave my father to fend for himself alone."
Yan Zheng stood up and exchanged a few pleasantries, but anyone could tell that he was probably the least willing to stay here and watch the Liu family steal the limelight.
"Alright, then I won't see Your Highness off."
Liu Mo's smile widened, almost turning into a Nike-style smile.
Waiting for Yan Zheng to return to the palace and report to Emperor Yan what happened tonight... Heh!
Let's see who's sweating buckets next.
"...They're gone!"
Yan Zheng kicked Yan Feng hard.
Yan Feng was initially drunk, but then Liu Yu's music was so stunning that he sobered up halfway. Now, after being kicked by Yan Zheng, he was halfway sober again.
He quickly stood up and followed.
Upon reaching the door, Yan Feng was about to apologize to Yan Zheng for his lapse in composure when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Ok?"
He glanced sideways.
Then his face darkened.
That brat who mocked him at Yunxiang Tower is actually here!
