Lu Jiuning's addition began with large-scale string slides.
This way of adding it won't seem abrupt; it can blend better with the pipa without overshadowing it.
The two are intertwined and work together.
And at that very moment, a chilling aura burst forth.
It was as if the probing between the two sides on the battlefield had ended, and the real fighting was about to begin.
It's a bit of a shame that there's no drummer here.
Otherwise, the rhythmic cymbals played by the drummer, accompanied by the pipa and bass, would sound very similar to the clanging of swords clashing.
However, true life-or-death battles are often very brief.
There was no back-and-forth exchange, no dozens or hundreds of moves exchanged.
The outcome is often decided within just a few moves.
So, at the 26th second!
Lu Jiuning's chanting voice could be heard.
The chanting was not loud, not louder than the pipa and bass, but rather served as a supplementary instrument.
The pipa music slowed down at this moment, carrying a faint sense of sadness and bitterness.
The combination of these three elements adds a touch of sorrow to the song; in a life-or-death struggle, corpses would inevitably lie scattered, and blood would stain the water red.
All that remains is a desolate land and a heart riddled with wounds.
Lu Jiuning's chanting seemed to be a lament for these lives that had been extinguished.
The song ended at the 44-second mark.
It ended very quickly, catching everyone off guard.
[What the hell? That's it? You're telling me that's it? I wasn't even hooked yet!]
[Damn it, Mr. Mask, you're getting worse and worse! A minute and a half was bad enough, but now it's not even a minute? Have you no shame?]
To be honest, it's really beautiful; I'm completely captivated by the charm of the pipa. But this is way too short! I was just getting into it and it was over? Could it be any shorter?
This is outrageous! For the first time in my life, I feel like I haven't heard enough. I really want to drag Mr. Mask up and beat him to a pulp...
Netizens and audience members at the scene were filled with righteous indignation!
They all declared that they would definitely "torture" Bei Chen if they had the chance.
Even Liang Guyin, who is usually good-tempered, was now gritting her teeth, her veins bulging, and she could no longer hide the murderous glint in her eyes.
What is that?
If you weren't my son, I would definitely make you experience what it's like to kneel on a durian.
If Beiheshan hadn't been keeping her in check, preventing her from revealing her relationship with Mr. Mask, he probably would have already kicked her.
etc!
"Huh? Where did Xiao Chen go?"
When Liang Guyin searched for Bei Chen's figure in the crowd, she found that he was nowhere to be found.
As soon as "The Pipa Enters the Battle" ended, Bei Chen and Lu Jiuning had already made their escape.
What's the point of keeping it!
Are you waiting to get hammered?
Besides, the audience is growing, and a huge crowd is heading here.
If we don't leave now, we'll have nowhere to run later.
"You masked man, even a mayfly's lifespan isn't as short as yours!" Yan Ping and Cheng Jie chased after them from behind.
If Bei Chen left, he would become the focus of attention, so he simply fled as well.
"This was my boss's idea, it has nothing to do with me!"
Bei Chen pushed the matter onto Lu Jiuning, which earned him a roll of his eyes. "You're acting like you weren't having fun?"
Lu Jiuning continued, "Let me introduce you. This is the famous candidate for Heavenly King, Yan Ping!"
This was the first time Bei Chen and Yan Ping had truly met.
The other person looked very young, only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but also seemed quite mature, which was rather contradictory.
Yan Ping gave a wry smile: "I dare not accept such praise. In front of Mr. Mask, all other candidates are nothing but fleeting clouds."
"This is my best friend, Cheng Jie!"
Cheng Jie has long chestnut hair that cascades down her shoulders like a waterfall. She looks quiet and gentle, but she has a bright and charming face.
She seems like a well-behaved girl, but there's also a hint of wildness in her.
Like Yan Ping, he is also full of contradictions.
There's a reason why these two hit it off.
Later, Yan Ping and Cheng Jie walked ahead, while Bei Chen and the other followed behind, not getting too close, not wanting to disturb them.
"By the way, aren't you only 25? Your best friend doesn't look that old either, yet you're already rushing to go on blind dates?" Bei Chen asked curiously.
Lu Jiuning shook her finger: "Who says best friends have to be the same age!"
Cheng Jie is three years older than me and is also my senior, but we can talk about anything.
So, I'm 28 this year, isn't it normal to be pressured by my family to get married?
That makes sense!
Boys are already under immense pressure by the age of 28, let alone girls.
Halfway through their conversation, Cheng Jie suddenly walked towards Lu Jiuning and grabbed her arm, saying, "Come on, I'll take you to a really good coffee shop!"
After saying that, he pulled Lu Jiuning forward.
Actually, she wanted to have a private chat with Lu Jiuning: "Darling, what exactly is your relationship with Mr. Mask, hmm~"
Lu Jiuning's smile froze for a moment, then quickly recovered: "You're overthinking it. It's just a boss-employee relationship."
Cheng Jie moved a little closer, staring intently into Lu Jiuning's eyes: "Really? But I noticed you were smiling happily when you were with him. Confess now!"
Are you happy?
Lu Jiuning himself had never noticed this until Cheng Jie brought it up.
Wait, it's fun shopping with my idol, no problem!
Lu Jiuning quickly suppressed his restless heart.
Right now, all she wants to do is focus on the present and get the billion yuan. Only then will she have the resources to talk about the future and the right to control her own love life and marriage.
At this moment, she was still very clear-headed.
On the other side, Yan Ping also began to probe: "If I'm not mistaken, Boss Lu should be Miss Rabbit, right?"
Bei Chen certainly couldn't answer directly: "You underestimate Boss Lu. Not only is she a first-rate businesswoman, but she also has some talent in music."
If she were Miss Rabbit, why would she need to hide it?
That makes sense. Everyone knows that Lu Jiuning is the owner of Beehive Bar, so why hide himself?
Yan Ping, of course, did not know that Lu Jiuning was inevitably nervous when he first stepped onto the stage.
She didn't have Bei Chen's experience in Xiaolanling and wasn't used to standing in front of people.
The rabbit mask gave her a sense of security and enhanced the mysterious atmosphere of the mask band.
That's how Miss Rabbit came to be.
"And when will you reveal your identity to the public?"
Unable to spy on Lu Jiuning, they began to dig into Bei Chen's background.
Bei Chen brushed it off with a few words, as he wasn't familiar with Yan Ping and didn't want to reveal too much.
The four of them found a less crowded street and strolled along it leisurely. The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was gentle, and with their beloved by their side, how could they let the moment slip by...
