Chapter 471 - Unexpected Guest
From the side, Rong Yan exclaimed: “Oh! So, actually, this zither belonged to Miss Yan! Big Brother Ziyan said, that no matter which type of zither it is, he will always take care of them. Even this Sacred Zither. Moreover, he gathered a collection of zithers in his house; including those ones he has picked up on the streets, and of which aren’t a few. He would also take in those damaged ones! …Since I look after them every day, I know him the best. Who let him become such a zither-phile!”
Even though she wore a helpless expression, but each word was filled with some kind of flavor. It made people understand that Gu Ziyan and she had a really intimate relationship.
At the beginning, they all assumed that Gu Ziyan has taken in Yan Ziyuan’s zither solely. Thus, it made them believe that Gu Ziyan was interested in her. But, after Rong Yan’s explanation, they all understood that Gu Ziyan was simply gathering zithers because it was his passion, and nothing more. Therefore, there was no connection between the zither and the person who lost it.
As for Gu Ziyan, he frowned slightly while glaring at Rong Yan. It seemed that he was about to intervene, but, in the end, he kept silent. Instead, he shot a meaningful glance at Yan Ziyuan.
Although Yan Ziyuan’s face became a little whiter, but she continued to smile. As soon as Rong Yan finished talking, she indifferently commented: “Your Big Brother Ziyan is a refined scholar. On the contrary, I am just a commoner, who likes to break valuable things”
After that, she sat down again, and gulped the tea that the maid behind her poured, praising it: “Excellent tea!”
Her actions and attitude were aloof, but the hand she used for holding the cup was slightly shaking, spilling some liquid out…
An awkward atmosphere lingered around.
In order to ease things over, the organizer got up and diverted everybody’s attention: “This competition has come to an end with success. This time, the winner is Lady Xue…” he then rambled congratulatory words, before grabbing the tray where the Crystal Flamboyant Tree was: “Lady Xue has won the prize!”
Ning Xuemo curled her lips upward. She stretched her hand and was ready to accept it, when CLANG!… a silk-like twang abruptly arose from outside.
Nearly everyone shivered, surprised by this turn of events. Especially the organizer, who had to let go of the tray and caused the tree to fall… The Crystal Flamboyant Tree was split into 17 pieces!
My reward!
Ning Xuemo stared at it in disbelief, wanting to cry but not having the tears.
That item was similar to an egg. The time efficiency was the quickest. However, now that it has been dropped, it resembled the smashed eggshells of an egg, of which the inside flowed out. Nothing useful was left!
Meanwhile, the zither sound continued to play, reverberating the notes throughout the lake.
That musician was obviously an expert! Just a few notes, and they were able to crush anyone standing on this ship!
An unprecedented zither expert!!!
The people all showed a crazed expression typical of artists. In succession, they all crowded towards the window and searched the source of the tunes with their eyes. Finally, they all stopped moving!
Beneath the moonlights…
A small boat was floating on the surface of the water slowly. A red-clothed man was sit-crossing on the bow. On his lap he was carrying a sky-like dark blue zither, where the moon rays were reflecting.
The swaying boat, the silvered-colored moon above and the dark sky on the background, altogether made it look like a staged scenery.
The man’s red robes were fluttering, while his black hair were gently hanging down on his shoulders loosely.
Lastly, his facial features were ethereal. Even a faint smile of his would bloom all the flowers under Heaven.
