"I have a song to perform here, and I hope everyone here will give their feedback."
As she spoke, the corners of her lips turned up slightly, as if carrying a faint, almost imperceptible smile, and her voice was soft and gentle, carrying an ambiguous air that was hard to define.
The same thought arose in everyone's mind: What a bewitching and captivating enchantress!
Xie Daoyun, in a private room on the second floor, couldn't help but sigh, "I have always thought highly of myself, but in terms of temperament and charm, I am no match for her."
Xie Xiu, standing to the side, comforted her, saying, "Sister, you're being too attached to appearances. You are the daughter of the city lord, and a renowned talented woman. No matter how beautiful or charming the other woman is, she's just a brothel girl. How could she compare to you?"
He frequented brothels and was a playboy who broke the hearts of countless young girls. He had long seen through this, and it wasn't long before he recovered from Qiu Honglei's seductive arts.
If we're talking about the most clear-headed man on the field, besides Zuan, he'd probably be it.
A blush appeared on Xie Daoyun's fair, oval face: "You smooth talker, you're a master at deceiving girls. No wonder so many young ladies have fallen for your tricks."
Xie Xiu cried out that she was wronged: "Sister, I was just trying to comfort you."
"Shh, she's starting to play the piano." Xie Daoyun made a shushing gesture and began to listen carefully to the music.
As a renowned talented woman, her piano skills were naturally impeccable. Now, judging her with a professional eye, she became more serious than ever before.
The momentary feeling of shame vanished without her noticing, and a serious yet sacred light unconsciously emanated from her cheeks.
Looking at her flawless face, Xie Xiu couldn't help but exclaim, "What a beauty! What a pity, what a real pity!"
Although Xie Daoyun was about to seriously evaluate Qiu Honglei's zither skills, she turned around curiously upon hearing his words: "What's the pity?"
Xie Xiu blinked and smiled slyly: "It's a pity you're my own sister, otherwise why would I need to look for other girls?"
After saying that, he quickly jumped away. Xie Daoyun was both embarrassed and angry: "You bastard, how dare you flirt with me!"
She quickly ran over and chased after him, finally grabbing his ear and twisting it hard.
"Sister, spare me!" Xie Xiu was pleading when suddenly a clear and melodious zither sound came from behind her. It turned out that Qiu Honglei had begun to play the zither.
Everyone pricked up their ears, listening intently to the celestial music, for there was a rumor that Qiu Honglei would choose a favorite as her guest today.
But no one knows exactly how to choose.
Therefore, no one will let go of any clue; perhaps the other party will have someone evaluate their piano skills after playing.
At this moment, the madam, Hua Weimian, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said to Chen Xuan, "We forgot to prepare an invitation for you, sir. It was our oversight. Shenxianju has prepared a special banquet for you. Please take a seat."
Now that they knew he was a sixth-rank expert, Shenxianju changed their attitude.
After all, this world is ruled by the strong, and in Bright Moon City, a sixth-rank expert is already considered a top-tier master.
Such a master is worth winning over and showing goodwill to.
No one around showed any surprise, because this was perfectly normal; it was simply how the world operated.
Chen Xuan frowned. He still had grudges with Zu An, but now that Qiu Honglei had started playing the zither, if he were to cause trouble again, it would not only spoil the mood, but also likely incur public wrath.
In addition, he also became interested in this charming beauty, so he wanted to listen carefully to her playing the piano in preparation for the test later.
So, not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble, he simply nodded and, led by the staff of Shenxianju, went to another table.
Hua Weimian swayed her hips and came to the Zuan group again, repeatedly apologizing to Wang Yuanlong and the Chu brothers, arranging a new banquet for them, and saying that all their expenses for the day would be waived.
As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face, so the group naturally couldn't say anything. In addition, they were worried about missing the information in the music, especially with Chu Hongcai craning his neck. They were unwilling to waste any more words with Sister Hua and hurriedly agreed.
Zuan secretly sighed, "This Sister Hua is truly a formidable character; she chose the perfect time."
While the two sides were fighting to the death, she seemed to have vanished into thin air;
Now, as Qiu Honglei plays the zither, a conflict is instantly resolved.
Of course, Zuan didn't say anything; this is the wisdom of survival, and there's nothing wrong with it.
Before long, he too was drawn to the music.
The music seemed to possess a special magic; though there were no words, it could conjure up vivid images in the listener's mind.
A gentle breeze blows,
Falling petals
A man was drinking alone in a lakeside pavilion.
Like a celestial being banished from heaven.
The woman's heart stirred, and she mustered her courage to step forward.
The two enjoyed romantic moments under the moon and flowers, living in perfect harmony.
The man left without saying goodbye in a day.
The woman waits by the lake every day.
Unfortunately, the man never returned.
Many years later, when the man returned to find the woman, his face weathered and worn,
But I can't find it no matter what I do.
I thought she had already left.
Heartbroken, he drowned his sorrows in alcohol by the lake.
But I learned from the fishermen by the lake that
Years ago, a woman sat here just like this, waiting for her lover.
Unfortunately, it never came.
One day she was carrying a pot of wine,
Sitting by the lake, drinking and crying at the same time
When people found her,
She has already drowned.
It's unclear whether she accidentally fell or intentionally attempted suicide.
Upon learning all this, the man broke down in tears.
...
Hearing the plaintive music, the many men who had come to seek pleasure found themselves weeping.

The second update will be around 12 o'clock.
I took my computer to the after-sales service center to get it repaired today. The feedback was that the motherboard was broken, and repairing it was pointless because it was too expensive; I might as well buy a new one.
Fortunately, the hard drive wasn't damaged, and the data was finally copied out.
I bought it for almost 10,000 yuan and it broke after only three years. I'm really annoyed.
At the same time, I was curious why, even though only the motherboard was broken, the repairman considered the rest of the computer worthless except for the hard drive, which was still somewhat valuable. I had hoped I could sell it to recoup some of the money...
