Back then, she practiced this piece diligently just to show off.
Because it was too difficult, she simply practiced only the first part. That one part was enough for her to perform for her relatives during holidays, and then ask for a big red envelope from her elders.
And now, she's going to use this song to show off again!
Her fingers traced a line, and a series of notes, imbued with murderous intent, rang out. The music abruptly changed, instantly creating tension.
Unlike the previous cheerful and lively piece, which had a touch of freshness, this piece is magnificent, majestic, and unique. Even after listening to just a short excerpt, one can tell that it is a rare, world-class masterpiece.
Some demonic cultivators, upon hearing this music, even felt their fighting spirit fluctuate, their fingers unconsciously resting on the hilt of their swords.
Just as the music was reaching its climax, it abruptly stopped.
Everyone present looked at her at the same time. "Why did you stop?"
Because she only learned the first part.
"Your Highness, Lord Demon Prince, Your Highness, I learned the pipa from a senior who was skilled in music and whom I met by chance. The piece is called 'Ambush from Ten Sides,' and that senior only taught me the first few notes."
Upon hearing her words, everyone immediately felt a pang of regret.
The Demon Lord looked at the woman holding the pipa, then glanced at the Demon Prince, "Your pipa is quite favored by the Demon Prince, so I will spare your lives. The others may leave, but you may stay."
He pointed to Jia Xitong below and asked, "What's your name?"
"Reporting to Lord Demon Lord, my daughter's name is Mu Mu."
"Mumu?"
The old demon frowned slightly, revealing a look of disgust. "Who are your parents? Why would they give you such a strange name?"
I'll change your name to Carol.
Listen to it yourself, is this name really better than the name that Xiao Shang casually mentioned in the original work?
Jia Xitong was also very disgusted, but the difference in their status prevented her from saying it out loud. "Carol thanks the Demon Elder."
Thank you, my foot!
Jia Xitong, in her wild and unrestrained spirit, felt disgusted.

Some people practice their movements with great difficulty, almost losing their lives while performing on stage. Others casually play a few notes on stage and receive thunderous applause, thus securing their place on the show.
Although Li Tuo admitted that Jia Xitong played the pipa very well, he was still unhappy, resentful, and jealous!
As he left Shanghai, he glanced back at the towering city walls. He was furious, unsure how to explain himself to Shang Yanting when he returned.
Actually, without his explanation, Jia Xitong, who had been settled, was already secretly making porridge with a communication talisman for Shang Yanting.
"Moshi Moshi, my dearest host!"
"What's wrong?"
Hearing her voice, Shang Yanting gestured to the person next to him to be quiet.
"Dear host, I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"
Jia Xitong kept everyone in suspense for a moment.
"Bad news." Shang Yanting made the selection without even thinking.
"Host, you really care about Teacher Tuo."
Jia Xitong's chuckle came from the communication talisman, leaving Shang Yanting speechless. "What's wrong with him?"
"The plan has been moved up. Teacher Tuo is here to perform a dance today. Neither Elder Mo nor Senior Bai Yu took a liking to him. He has now been rejected and returned to the inn."
"oh"
I thought it was something bad.
He never placed his hopes on Li Tuo disguising himself as a man to infiltrate the area.
"And what's the good news?"
Finally, they asked this question.
"The good news is that I've been chosen!"
Jia Xitong's voice was filled with pride and excitement as she spoke, "I only showed off a little of my talent today, and both Elder Mo and Senior Bai Yu were very satisfied."
And that's how I managed to sneak in.
I'm staying in a single room, though it's not as comfortable as the inn, but apparently that's the best treatment for a musician.
She said happily, "I'm just going to find an opportunity to get closer to Senior Bai Yu now. You'll all be waiting to hear my good news."
She said a lot, but there was no response from the other side for a long time.
Only after she finished laughing with a series of "whoosh whoosh" sounds did the person on the other end ask, "You call this good news?"
That's a strange way of asking the question.
"Isn't this good news?"
Jia Xitong returned the favor by throwing it back at him.
"Of course not."
Shang Yanting closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He had expected what Li Tuo had to do, but what he had to do now was the real bad news.
However, he quickly calmed down.
"Did the Son of Annihilation recognize you?"
"No."
Jia Xitong shook her head. "I put on burn makeup. Even if you came, you might not recognize me, let alone him."
"Of course I recognize you."
Shang Yanting said directly, as if he were merely stating a fact, "Since he doesn't recognize you now, I want you to disguise yourself well so that he won't recognize you later either."
"But……"
This doesn't align with her goals.
"No buts. Do you realize how dangerous you are right now?"
Shang Yanting was about to speak with her when a heavily injured martial artist rushed over, indicating how urgent his situation was.
"Tongbao, be good and don't make me worry, okay?"
His tone softened.
This is the kind of thing Jia Xitong is most susceptible to.
"Be good, I'll come pick you up as soon as I'm done here."
After Shang Yanting finished speaking, their previous contact was severed. Jia Xitong clutched the communication talisman, her expression somewhat like that of someone wearing a mask of pain.
