You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?

"The Mastery of Music" is actually a Huang-ranked skill. It seems that Miss Hua Chao's musical skills are indeed not low.

And "Demon Sound Pierces the Ear" has become a Xuan-ranked spell, which can confuse people's minds with sound waves and manipulate the emotions of the target at will.

Unfortunately, the true power of the spell can only be exerted after the Embryonic Breathing Realm. Although it is not impossible in the Gathering Spirit Realm, at least one of the essence, energy, and spirit must have broken through to the eleventh level to barely use it, which is still far inferior to the Embryonic Breathing Realm.

But it's okay.@@novelbin@@

Ying Wuji suddenly felt that a region in his mind was lit up, at least he is not a music ignoramus anymore.

"May I have a chat with the young master behind the screen!"

After Hua Chao's voice sounded, the men in the bamboo garden couldn't help but show envious looks.

Luo Ming's face was ugly, and he stared at Ying Wuji with a gloomy look.

Ying Wuji couldn't be bothered with him, and slowly came to the back of the screen, finally seeing Hua Chao's true appearance.

With a graceful figure and a delicate appearance, she wore a thin veil on her face, but it couldn't conceal the charm of a mature woman. It was like a juicy peach that could be squeezed for juice, tempting people.

Especially those slightly reddish peach blossom eyes, people couldn't help but feel pity.

"Young master, please be seated!"

Hua Chao stood up and bowed unexpectedly.

"Young lady is polite! Let's have a cup of tea first!"

Ying Wuji didn't bother to be polite with her, and sat down directly, picked up a cup of clear tea and drank it.

He glanced around imperceptibly. According to Wu Shuangxu, the maids around Hua Chao have almost no cultivation, but there is a master of the Embryonic Breathing Realm secretly protecting her. Before confirming the truth, he must not act rashly.

Hua Chao asked Xiao Liu to send out the antique jade, and then smiled: "Thank you, young master. It is my good fortune to have such a piece of music!"

Ying Wuji waved his hand: "Don't be polite! A fine horse matches a hero, and a beautiful song naturally matches a beauty. Miss Hua Chao deserves it!"

"Young master flatters me!"

Hua Chao smiled, but found that Ying Wuji's eyes were unabashedly on her. She subconsciously lowered her head. There were many talented men in Jiangcheng, but most of them were implicit. She only met Ying Wuji, who was so bold and direct.

Ying Wuji's expression was a bit stern.

Because he clearly saw that there were two light balls at the end of Hua Chao's energy slot, in addition to the Huang-ranked "Mastery of Music", there was also a Xuan-ranked one, but he didn't know what it was.

How to explain this?

A songstress who has not shown any cultivation to the outside world, but has mastered a Xuan-ranked technique or spell, is really strange.

This person is likely to have a problem!

Ying Wuji smiled slightly: "Miss Hua Chao! I heard that anyone who can listen to music behind the screen is regarded as a confidant by you. If there is someone present who can choose a piece of music for you to play, would you be willing to do it?"

Hua Chao nodded with a smile: "Indeed, I don't know which piece the young master would like to hear?"

At this time, Luo Ming's voice sounded outside the screen: "Coincidentally! Young master Wuji gave a piece of music today. Why don't Miss Hua Chao play this one?"Ying Wuji was a bit displeased: "I was talking with Miss Hua Chao, why did Brother Luo interrupt? Earlier, Brother Luo refused my tune for Miss Hua Chao, and now he's choosing a tune for me. It seems that Brother Luo will become a pillar of the Great Li in the future, and all the political affairs of the Nine Ministers will be taken care of by Brother Luo, saving them from hard work. Isn't that beautiful?"

We are ", find us on google.

Luo Ming choked: "You!"

Hua Chao smiled: "If the young master wants to hear a tune, just say it. Others can't make decisions for the young master!"

Ying Wuji narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Miss Hua Chao is still straightforward. Do you remember the Hu tune we talked about at the third hour of the ugly day yesterday? That's what I want to hear!"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly received a wave of essence, energy, and spirit attributes, all from Luo Ming and Hua Chao.

These siblings were too problematic!

Ying Wuji couldn't help but feel a little angry. At the beginning, he understood why the two countries of Qianli wanted to suppress this matter, but he didn't quite understand why Li Kingdom prohibited the Flying Fish Guards from investigating this case.

But if this assassination case involved the Prime Minister, everything would make sense.

It should be noted that behind the Prime Minister was the Wei family, whose background and power even the Li Kingdom royal family dared not underestimate.

Heh...

Ying Wuji smiled: "Does Miss not want to play? I heard that Miss has superb skills on the qin, and can easily handle both Di and Qiang tunes. A few days ago, I had the pleasure of hearing it from afar, and couldn't help but think about it day and night, so I came to the bamboo garden presumptuously."

Hua Chao's laughter was gentle, but unexpectedly calm: "If the young master loves it so much, how can I ruin the scenery? Xiao Liu, go get the Hu qin."

"Yes!"

Xiao Liu responded and soon came back holding the Hu qin.

Hua Chao picked up the qin, bowed slightly to Ying Wuji, and sat down slowly, playing with a bamboo pick.

The Hu qin was different from the Central Plains style of music, with only two strings but able to play a melodious tune, carrying a wild beauty. Just by listening to the sound, it was as if one was in the wilderness, with an open mind and free spirit. It was as if one could see a bold and unrestrained woman expressing her love to her lover.

After a while, the tune ended.

"Young master, I'm done playing!"

Hua Chao's mouth was slightly smiling, and her expression was calm and relaxed.

Ying Wuji took out a box from his arms and pushed it to the middle of the table, smiling slightly: "Once is not enough, I want to hear it again. Please fulfill my request, Miss."

"This..."

"Of course, I can't let Miss play for nothing. Please accept this gift."

Although Hua Chao was hesitant, she still leaned forward slightly, looking curiously at the box, which was divided into sixty-four small compartments and contained something unknown.

She couldn't help but ask: "Young master, what is this?"

Ying Wuji smiled: "This is the Sound Worm Disc, a gift from a recluse. It contains sixty-four types of sound worms that can move with the music. It is said that those who are skilled in Hu tunes can awaken one of them to dance along with the music. I wonder if Miss can play it again."

Of course, this was not just any Sound Worm Disc. It was a Gu disc, the final judging standard given to him by Wu Shuangxu.The cultivators who specialize in poisons have caused many problems for the Daoist sect. The disciples of the two sects often have conflicts, so many Daoist disciples carry a gu pan containing sealed gu larvae when they go out to investigate the whereabouts of the poison cultivators. They never thought they would need it here.

Upon hearing this, Hua Chao's usually calm expression finally showed a hint of panic.

She instinctively shrank back an inch and forced a smile, "Young Master! This little girl is not skilled enough to make the sound worm dance. I'm really embarrassed. Even if I play it again, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the magnificent sight of the sound worm dancing!"

"Not necessarily!"

Ying Wuji coldly smiled, "If it weren't for the young lady intentionally playing the wrong seventh and twenty-third notes just now, the sound worm would have probably danced already!"

What!

Hua Chao was suddenly shocked. Her heart that had just been put down was now hanging in her throat. She never expected that Ying Wuji could hear such a subtle difference.

For a moment, she also panicked.

In this moment of distraction...

"Clang!"

A cold light.

Ying Wuji drew the short sword hidden in his boot and directly held it against Hua Chao's neck, his eyes extremely cold, "I'll let you play it again!"
