The people at the tea house had been listening with fascination.

Once the song ended, Yun Biluo stood up gracefully with a posture like the willows, similar to youthful beauty, receiving a round of applause.

The more Chen Yifeng listened, the more he thought that their boss was in a difficult position. He directed his glance at least twice toward Helian Wei Wei with concern.

Their boss was still able to display martial practice, but singing… he could not even imagine seeing her singing. Would it not scare people off?

Hei Zhu also sneaked a peek at Helian Wei Wei. She smiled with satisfaction as she said to Yun Biluo, “Elder sister, your skills are getting more captivating than before. Next time, no one would dare to play musical instruments and sing in front of you anymore!”

Yun Biluo revealed a smile. “That’s enough, Hei Zhu. You’re exaggerating with your compliments.”

“I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Young Master Lie.” Hei Zhu turned her gaze on Nangong Lie. “He really is someone who knows how to enjoy the rhythm in qin music.”

Of course, Nangong Lie was someone who knew how to relish the rhythm in qin music, but in such a situation, it caused his curled thin lips to feel a sense of coldness.

Yun Biluo was afraid that Nangong Lie would overthink, thus, she quickly dragged Hei Zhu back. She laid her clear eyes on Helian Wei Wei as though it was able to gently form ripples of water in her eyes. “It’s your turn, Lady Wei Wei.”

Hei Zhu held her tongue, but she showed an expression as if they were meant to win.

Helian Wei Wei did not turn her gaze to Hei Zhu. She picked up the guqin. Instead of playing it, she flipped it with one hand, allowing one side to be supported on the ground and another to be lifted vertically off the ground which was just right for her to hold it in her hands.

“No way! Don’t tell me she doesn’t even know how to carry the guqin?”

As everyone broke into laughter due to Helian Wei Wei’s action,

suddenly, a low-pitched voice emerged from the throat…

“The wind blew the crystalline snowflakes

Dying our hair into white

Reminiscing about our thoughts of conquering the world together

Could you still remember

The summer that year

We made boundless wishes

Hand in hand we boarded the boat

To cross the river of sadness”

Helian Wei Wei’s voice had always been denser than other girls’. Moreover, she was having her period now, hence, it added a trace of hoarseness to her voice.

Basically, it sounded as such since the first word came out of her mouth.

She managed to grab everyone’s attention.

Not just the others, but even Nangong Lie’s eyes flashed through a glimpse of astonishment.

That tune, that voice had never existed!

At that moment, a humming could suddenly be heard from upstairs, echoing with Helian Wei Wei’s tune.

Helian Wei Wei paused for an instant, and looked upstairs, bumping into the pair of Gemini-like eyes.

She could only see Jing Wushuang staring gently back at her. Clad in ivory white clothes that made him look even more graceful and remarkably alike a figure who emerged from a painting. A gust of wind swept in and was carried away by his gentle smile. His gestures were slow yet elegant, his imposing manner was able to suffocate the people in this world.

Jing Wushuang’s humming was not only euphonious, but it was accompanied by a mild internal force as calm as flowing water. It appeared to be able to soothe the frustration and agitation in people’s hearts with the power of harmony.

Helian Wei Wei smiled, her voice became denser and more pleasing to the ears, as if it was stained with colors when it combined together with the breathtaking humming.

She caught sight of the people who were listening to the music, her eyes were gleaming as though a singer who was recounting a heart-wrenching story.

“We promised not to break apart

But to always stay together

Even if it went against time

Even if it was against the world

Could not bear deceiving each other throughout our innocent years

Living up to your name during my absurd youth

Snow, I ask you not to erase

The traces of our love…”

The singing voice subsided, the humming halted, and silence reigned in the tea house.

Chen Yifeng was dumbfounded and only returned to his senses when Helian Wei Wei rested the guqin on the ground and approached him. He blurted out, “This song is so damn beautiful!”

Like activating a trap, his words triggered the audience to react with an uproar of applause!

Everyone surrounded Helian Wei Wei, pestering her to sing another song!

Helian Wei Wei touched her stomach and laughed, “Hey, I’m still competing. Please let me through.”

“Okay, okay, okay..” The scholars made way for her. With only one song, Helian Wei Wei had won over their hearts.

Even a few ladies from the Superior Compound could not help but think about Helian Wei Wei’s past experiences due to this song.

Observing carefully, she was actually the one being abandoned.

The unrighteous person from the Murong Residence had filed a divorce with her, but in the end, blaming her for being an anthomaniac.

Now that she had finally tied the knot with the Third Prince, things still did not go well for her.

It was due to the fact that everyone knew the actual reason why the Third Prince married her.

As women, who would not yearn to be in the embrace of a man who would never forsake them.

However, no one was as courageous as Helian Wei Wei in speech and actions.

In fact, they were a group of cowards who did not deserve the right to mock a seemingly hideous yet tough lady.

Helian Wei Wei could not understand the thinking of these people. The reason she agreed to this gamble was very simple for she wanted to seek revenge on behalf of Qing Zhan. Hence, she was determined to have the tongue of Hei Zhu!

“Let’s vote. The votes will depend on the audience’s applause.” Helian Wei Wei curved her thin lips, revealing a slouching manner, “Those who think I sang well, you can start clapping your hands. Well, those who applaud will receive silver coins from me.”

Upon hearing the last part of the sentence, the audience’s first reaction was to give out a laugh and followed by thunderous applause.

In the midst of the applause was accompanied by words of compliments, “Third Princess Consort, your singing is remarkable! Even without silver coins, I still think it’s awesome!”

“Thank you.” Helian Wei Wei was not accustomed to facing such huge praise. She was not flamboyant but instead smiled with a handsome expression. “All thanks to your good taste.”

Composed but not cold, indifferent yet humorous.

No other words could be used to describe Helian Wei Wei more precisely.

Those words attracted a few more applauses.

For the song, and also for Helian Wei Wei.

The outcome was immensely obvious.

During Yun Biluo’s turn, only a few applause echoed in the air and mostly came from those who were on Helian Jiao Er’s side.

All of a sudden, the color drained from Hei Zhu’s face.

Helian Wei Wei smiled faintly, rotating a dagger in her hand. At that moment, she appeared like a monster, acting in a forceful way. “Are you going to do it yourself, or do you need my help?”

As Hei Zhu saw Helian Wei Wei walked over, she gripped both her hands tightly, seemed like she was about to strike.

Yun Biluo definitely would not allow her to have the chance to strike. If anything went wrong, her whereabouts would be known to the world. How would she be willing to let herself be escorted by the Retired Emperor again before meeting him?

Upon thinking, she reached out to stop Hei Zhu while fixing her gaze at Qing Zhan, “You’ve always got along well with Hei Zhu, Qing Zhan. If she loses her tongue, the rest of her life…”

The death knights have empathy for each other as they had gone through countless training and in the end, only a few managed to live.

Other than protecting their masters, their leisure time was spent with each other. That was why they could be considered to have been through life and death together.

Yun Biluo purposely dragged Qing Zhan into this matter, just to cause a dilemma in Qing Zhan…
