The Elegant Dancing Years By Huo Li (火狸) | BL

Chapter 55 | Liufang Pavilion

As his voice fell, his fingertips moved. Soothing and melodious zither music leisurely drifted out from the open window. Like snowflakes dancing in the wind, it lightly fell into the listeners' ears bringing indescribable comfort and a feeling of calmness. Even the people passing by on the street couldn't help but stop, showing a look of yearning as they looked up at the pavilion only to see a handful of black hair on the windowsill dancing in the wind. It looked especially charming in the twilight and made people feel an additional sense of reverie.

Ruan Tianqi ears listened to such a calming and beautiful music, but his eyes were trained on the pair of hands plucking the strings. The slightly curved fingertips gently plucked and slowly tweaked, it was as if they were tugging at his heartstrings. He looked obsessively at the sight.

Both Hong Qui and Ying Ran couldn't help but admire His Royal Highness' mastery of Tianyin that was truly horrifying, even Chu Yu couldn't do it. He only involved one person under the influence of Tianyin without affecting others. His Highness had fully comprehended it, he was truly worthy of being the Celestial talent. At this moment, the two saw that Ruan Tianqi became dazed under the influence of Tianyin, both of them marvelled at the awe-inspiring beauty of Tianyin.

No matter who was near the restaurant, all of them were moved by the music coming from inside. For a while, no one made a sound. They were all listening attentively to the heavenly zither music until it gradually weakened and came to a stop. It was as if they woke up from a dream and looked around, wondering who could play such extraordinary music.

On the upper floor of the restaurant, Qi Mingyue stopped playing the zither and asked a few questions from Ruan Tianqi, then revealed a contemplative look. Thudding sounds rang out as two people rushed upstairs.

"Did someone play the zither here just now?" A young child stood in front of him along with XiaoEr. He saw the stringed zither on Qi Mingyue's lap and stared at him unblinkingly.

XiaoEr nodded, bowed to Qi Mingyue and said, "This gongzi, I have never heard such a beautiful musical piece in my life. People outside are clamouring to know who played it, I couldn't help it. This little brother was sent by his master and he says that he has something to tell you."

Qi Mingyue casually plucked the strings of the zither. Ruan Tianqi sat there in a daze, not knowing what had happened. He only felt that the music was intoxicating, like music for immortals. At this moment, he looked at Qi Mingyue and was about to speak, but saw XiaoEr and the child in front of him, "Who is this?"

The child bowed to Qi Mingyue, "My young master happened to pass by on the street just now and was fortunate enough to hear gongzi's zither music. He wishes to get acquainted with you. This is what my young master instructed me to give to you. Dare I ask gongzi's name?"

Qi Mingyue took the object in his hand, only to see a light green, slender willow branch of delicate make. It was actually made of jade and shaped like a branch, decorated with several finely carved leaves. It was especially beautiful. Hidden vaguely between the leaves was something the colour of crimson, like a flower bud, that looked refined and pleasantly refreshing at first glance, it also appeared a bit charming.

Just as he was about to inquire, XiaoEr looked at it and exclaimed, "Isn't this Young Master Yan Qing's legendary Jade Blossom invitation?!"

The child nodded slightly, "It is indeed the Jade Blossom invitation. With this, you can go to the Liufang Pavilion to meet my young master at any time. Only two have been sent out so far, gongzi is the third person."

"May I ask who the first two people are?" Qi Mingyue was intrigued as he held the Jade Blossom invitation in his hand.

The child revealed a proud expression, "Naturally, they are all people with distinguished identities. Not only CangHe, but even people from AnYang and LianTong also come to see our young master."
