"Thank you, haha." Xia Xiang was speechless; the fact that she was a musical instrument killer was practically the most amusing anecdote on Demon Island. "Give it to me."

"What is it?" the researcher asked.

Xia Xiang exclaimed excitedly, "Sheet music!"

He still hasn't fixed the sheet music after all this time!

"I'll send it to you after I've organized it, don't rush me." The researcher said impatiently.

"Brother, I asked you to fix that piece of paper, not to analyze this piece of music!" Xia Xiang was speechless.

"You didn't explain it clearly, so is it my fault?" The researcher put the arranged paper into the machine, and it was repaired in a moment.

However, if you look closely, you can still see faint marks where the hole was previously torn.

"Could there be some other secret hidden in this paper? I'll tell you after I scan and analyze it," the researcher said.

Xia Xiang left immediately, saying "Bye-bye".

She didn't care what secrets the paper held; she only cared about the paper itself.

——

When Xia Xiang returned to the Gold Dimension, Wang Yase was still looking for Ding Xiaoyu.

"We've searched all the places he usually goes," Wang Yase said anxiously. "Xiangxiang, do you know where he went?"

"I'm not sure either. What about part-time piano lessons? Have you looked for one yet?" Xia Xiang, carrying a file bag containing sheet music, went with Wang Yase to the music school where she learned to play the bamboo flute.

When the two anxiously arrived at the school lobby, Ding Xiaoyu was playing a very sad piece of music, and a girl was sitting on a piano bench not far away.

"Xiaoyu..." Wang Yase was going crazy looking for him and was about to rush forward excitedly, but Xia Xiang stopped her.

"Brother, it's best if we don't disturb him for now." Xia Xiang frowned, looking at the two people by the piano, and turned to Wang Yase to say.

When the song ended, the girl sitting next to him clapped gently.

Xia Xiang and Wang Yase also stepped forward and heard the girl describe her feelings in a gentle voice.

After the girl finished speaking, the two noticed Xia Xiang and Wang Yase approaching.

"Xiaoyu, are they your friends?" the girl asked gently.

“Yes, that’s right,” Ding Xiaoyu said, looking at Xia Xiang and Wang Yase.

"Hello, my name is Huang Anqi," the girl said, standing up and smiling gently.

Xia Xiang was shocked; she was actually Hu Yanqing's clone! However, this outfit seemed too strange to her, and she couldn't get used to it at all.

"Hello, I'm Wang Yase," Wang Yase greeted politely, gently nudging the stunned Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "Hello, my name is Xia Xiang."

"I've heard of you," Huang Anqi said with a smile.

Xia Xiang was puzzled; she had never seen her before.

“The principal of this school is a friend of my father’s. When he introduced Teacher Xiaoyu to me, he mentioned you,” Huang Anqi said with a smile.

Xia Xiang: The principal is talking badly about her!?

"Um, he didn't tell you that I compensated him for more than a dozen musical instruments, did he?" Xia Xiang said, squinting her eyes.

Huang Anqi couldn't help but laugh, "He didn't do it on purpose, I was just asking out of curiosity."

Xia Xiang: "Hehe"

"I have something to do, so I'll be going now. Goodbye~" Huang Anqi said to the three of them.

——

Xia Xiang handed the file bag to Wang Yase, and remained silent.

Wang Yase: "Xiaoyu, this is your sheet music. Xiangxiang had someone repair it. Take a look at it first."

Ding Xiaoyu held the file bag without opening it, and looked at the two of them, saying...

"I'm sorry, Arthur, Xiangxiang. I know it wasn't Arthur who did it, I was just too excited at the time. This is the only thing my mother left me, the music my father composed with his life."

"Take a look. You can't see the tear unless you look closely," Xia Xiang said.

"I'm sorry, because the paper itself is largely yellowed, the cracks may appear slightly whiter, and it's impossible to repair them exactly the same."

"It's okay," Ding Xiaoyu said.

"To express my apology, I can grant you one request within my power," Xia Xiang said.

Ding Xiaoyu is different from Wang Yase. He is introverted by nature, and it takes a great deal of stimulation to make him express his emotions so openly. This matter is definitely not something he can easily let go of.

The fact that his sheet music was torn up was most likely Rex's doing; she bears about 30% of the responsibility.

Ding Xiaoyu felt a pang of unease, her eyes filled with melancholy as she quietly looked at Xia Xiang. "Are you doing this for me? Or for Arthur?"

Wang Yase: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Because you were framed and had my sheet music torn up," Ding Xiaoyu said.

Wang Yase was speechless: "Hey! What are you jealous about?!"

Ding Xiaoyu: "I'm not jealous."

“You’re both older brothers, so of course I hope there’s no distance between you,” Xia Xiang said earnestly.

"Just my brother?" Ding Xiaoyu lowered her eyes, a hint of loneliness in her eyes. Her mind was filled with the image of Xia Xiang anxiously explaining things to Wang Yase in the classroom.

Xia Xiang's mind went blank for a moment. "I... I have something to do, I'll go now."

He teleported away before he could finish speaking.

Wang Yase: "Hey! What are you two talking about?"

"She didn't say anything," Ding Xiaoyu carefully put the sheet music back, turned around and walked out, leaving Independent King Arthur standing there, completely bewildered.

After Xia Xiang teleported away, she wandered aimlessly through the streets and unknowingly returned to the house she had bought near Wang Dadong's house.

Looking from afar, Wang Da Dong and Dong Cheng Wei...? When did they meet?

After Wang Dadong went inside, Xia Xiang slowly walked back. The Dongcheng Guards were still discussing how music increases combat power and didn't even notice Xia Xiang coming in.

When Xia Xiang collapsed onto the sofa with a thud, the five men immediately grabbed their weapons and went on guard.

"Big shots, it's me," Xia Xiang said sullenly.

"Hey, little sister Xia Xiang, what's up?" A-Kou put away his Ghost Battle Tuning Fork and asked with a curious look.

"Did you fail the exam? Or did you get along with your new deskmate? Did you fight with your best friend? Or did your arrogant brother, King Arthur, kick you out of the house?"

"Neither," Xia Xiang buried her face in the cushion and shook her head.

"Could it be that he's heartbroken?" Akou exclaimed in horror, uttering an answer he couldn't believe.

He's very well-informed. Xia Xiang wasn't heartbroken when she came back before, but she's in this terrible state now. That means the person Xia Xiang was dating must be from the Gold Dimension!

Good heavens! He absolutely had to share this news with the captain of the North City Guard.

"Shut up! No way!" Xia Xiang groped around, picked up another cushion, and threw it hard at A Kou.

"Aww, you're getting angry?! Are you?!" Akou yelled even louder as he looked at his teammates.

The other members of Dongchengwei stared at Akou speechlessly.

"If Miss Xia Xiang has any worries, your subordinates can try to help you resolve them," Jie said in a serious tone.

Then, apart from Xiu who was standing on the side looking cool, the rest of the group sat in a row, eager to hear some gossip.
