Hearing Qin Yu's words, Bai Ruyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ruyan, do you know the origin of that tranquility?"
Qin Yu asked.
It's not a good thing that someone of unknown origin knows Bai Ruyan's biggest secret.
Therefore, Qin Yu must find out the other party's identity. If Shen Jing cannot threaten Bai Ruyan, then Qin Yu can let her go.
But if Chen Jing's presence could threaten Bai Ruyan, then he would not show any mercy.
Bai Ruyan shook her head.
"Sister Chen Jing did not tell me her identity."
Qin Yu was somewhat disappointed to see that Bai Ruyan was unaware of Shen Jing's identity.
But then Bai Ruyan spoke up.
"Although I don't know Sister Shenjing's identity, when she heard that you knew about the mark on my body, she hoped to meet you. If you agree, please set a time, and I will arrange for Sister Shenjing to meet you."
Hearing this, Qin Yu was pleasantly surprised.
He thought it would take some effort, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to see him.
“That’s perfect. I should thank Miss Shen. If it weren’t for her saving you, I probably wouldn’t have been able to see you again. Let’s set the meeting time for three days from now.”
Seeing Qin Yu's happy expression, Bai Ruyan also became happy.
"Okay, I will send a message to Sister Chenjing and tell her to come see you in three days."
Qin Yu nodded, a hint of anticipation rising in his heart.
The reason for choosing three days later is that the Qionglin Banquet is the day after tomorrow, and there must be no setbacks in between.
After discussing the matter, it was time for Qin Yu to leave.
Although Bai Ruyan was reluctant to part with him, she could only watch Qin Yu leave.
"Da Hu, you don't need to come back to the palace with me later. You should inform the Blood Droplets to lie in wait near Shuiyun Pavilion, monitor people coming and going, and protect Miss Ruyan."
As they stepped out of the Shuiyun Pavilion, Qin Yu spoke to Da Hu.
"yes!"
Big Tiger responded.
After making these arrangements, Qin Yu walked back with a flourish.
"Brother Huang, is it really you, Brother Huang?"
Just then, a joyful shout rang out.
Upon hearing this voice, Qin Yu's expression changed.
"not good."
As he spoke, Qin Yu ran off as if fleeing.
He had only taken a couple of steps when a figure blocked his way.
Qin Yu had no choice but to stop and look at the person in front of him who was panting heavily.
"Brother Huang, why did you run away when I called you?"
Nangong Lexi, panting heavily, looked at Qin Yu and asked.
"Uh... my sow is about to give birth, I have to go back and help her!"
Qin Yu casually made up an excuse.
Whether Nangong Lexi believed it or not, she grabbed Qin Yu's hand and walked towards the teahouse next door.
“Brother Huang, you left without saying goodbye yesterday, and I’ve been looking for you everywhere. Today, you should at least have a cup of tea with me.”
Seeing Nangong Xiong Ba's determined expression, Qin Yu still didn't shake off his hand.
The two arrived at the private room of the teahouse, and Nangong Xiong Ba respectfully bowed to Qin Yu.
"Brother Xiong Ba, what are you doing?"
Qin Yu quickly reached out and helped her up.
"Yesterday, thanks to Brother Huang's performance of Chrysanthemum Terrace, I was able to get out of my predicament and save face for my Music Bureau. Brother Huang deserves this great gift from me."
Nangong Lexi's face was full of gratitude.
Hearing this, Qin Yu smiled and shook his head.
"Brother Xiong Ba, there's no need for that. I copied this song from someone else. If you want to thank someone, thank Jay Chou."
"Jay... Jay Chou? There's such a person in the music scene of our Great Xia?"
Nangong Lexi looked completely bewildered.
"Hmm... This person is currently unknown in the Great Xia."
Qin Yu said casually.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xiong Ba's eyes immediately lit up with understanding.
It seems that Brother Huang doesn't want to stand out, so he's using someone else's name!
Thinking about this, Nangong Lexi admired Qin Yu even more.
When someone creates a great piece of music, they can't wait to make their name known to the world.
Qin Yu composed so many wonderful pieces, yet he remained humble throughout. Such a modest gentleman is truly admirable.
"By the way, why did you leave without saying goodbye yesterday, Brother Huang? If you just didn't want to stand out, I wouldn't have forced you to show your face."
After the two sat down, Nangong Lexi asked again.
"Ah, this..."
Qin Yu was momentarily at a loss for words.
He couldn't possibly tell Nangong Xiongba that he was afraid Nangong Xiongba would be moved and offer himself to him.
This is the truth, but saying it out loud might hurt Nangong Xiongba's fragile little heart.
Seeing Qin Yu speechless, Nangong Lexi's expression immediately darkened.
"Brother Huang, is it because you find my performance skills lacking that you are in such a hurry to leave?"
If a normal man said something like that, Qin Yu would definitely be extremely disgusted.
But seeing Nangong Xiong Ba's heartbroken appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
“Brother Xiong Ba, you’re overthinking it. I only know a few novel tunes. As for other musical arts, I’m no match for you. How can you say I’m looking down on you?”
Qin Yu shook his head and said sincerely.
Nangong Lexi then stopped the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
"But yesterday..."
Seeing that he was still concerned about the matter, Qin Yu explained, "My wife was unwell yesterday, so she left early."
Hearing this, Nangong Lexi finally cheered up.
"That's great, I thought..."
"Don't worry, Brother Xiongba, I won't look down on you." Qin Yu said, unable to resist wiping away the tears from the corners of Nangong Xiongba's eyes.
Qin Yu only realized what was happening halfway through wiping.
no!
He was actually wiping away a grown man's tears? And he didn't even think there was anything wrong with it!
That's it, I'm ruined, I've become a Kun Lao!
Qin Yu felt a bit overwhelmed and quickly withdrew her hand, immediately feeling extremely uncomfortable.
He didn't notice that Nangong Xiongba's face was also flushed.
This was the first time in Nangong Lexi's life that a strange man had touched her face.
"Ahem, Brother Xiongba, I heard that the musician yesterday wanted to challenge you. I wonder if you have thought of a way to deal with him?"
Feeling awkward, Qin Yu quickly changed the subject.
Hearing this, Nangong Lexi recovered a little and shook her head.
"That person's performing skills are superior to mine, I... don't have much confidence in beating him!"
When the topic came up, Nangong Lexi became somewhat somber.
She thought she was already a rising star in the world of traditional performing arts, but when faced with that golden musician, she felt like a novice.
Seeing his dejected appearance, Qin Yu pondered for a moment.
"I wonder how this gathering of wonderful music will compare the performing arts?"
Upon hearing Qin Yu's question, Nangong Lexi quickly spoke up.
"The Wonderful Music Gathering brings together musicians from all over the world. The first competition is a contest of various ancient pieces. If one can master a famous ancient piece, then one can advance to compete in the competition of composing one's own piece. Finally, the winners will be judged by the many masters of music present. These winners can all enter the Royal Music Bureau, and the first place winner can be appointed as the deputy director of the Music Bureau."
