In fact, the Xitang that was deep into the night also appeared to be very quiet, but within the silence, it seemed to be a sign of the liveliness of tomorrow.

That night, many people found it hard to fall asleep.

Of course, some people were sad, while others were sad because of their thoughts.

Some people were excited because they had their own plans for a long time. Others were worried because they were worried about what would happen tomorrow.

In a certain restaurant, Yao Shisan stood at the window and thought for a long time, looking at the cool breeze in the night, listening to the music coming from an unknown place, that sound was a little sad, or perhaps bitter.

He was at the window, but he didn't know where his heart was.

He had been lying in bed for a long time, but it had been difficult for him to fall asleep.

In his entire life, he was like a blade of grass or an autumn tree.

Spring went back to the flower and then reopened, accompanied by a cool breeze and the waning of the moon, but still unable to disperse people's dreams, withered the flowers on the ground, recorded the helplessness of life.

The current Yao Shisan was a little unfamiliar, perhaps even Yao Tianheng would not be able to recognize that the youth whose face was filled with distress was actually his son, because his current appearance was completely different from his usual sloppy personality.

Very strange.

It was so strange that he almost didn't recognize himself.

And all of this was because of the Miss Li in his heart.

"Father said that the Zhou family will announce the engagement tomorrow in front of everyone. Is there really no room for negotiation?"

Yao Shisan asked himself in the dark of the night. However, this question seemed to already have an answer, so his answer naturally didn't have any meaning either.

Finally, the words turned into a sigh.

At the same time, in a small courtyard, a woman dressed in plain clothes sat under a banyan tree in the small courtyard. In her heart, this banyan tree was far superior to the hawthorn tree of Li Shan, because she had personally planted it when she was young.

She looked up at the night sky. The scattered stars were still hanging in the night sky.

She was already very annoyed in her heart, and with the addition of the zither music that floated over from afar, she became even more disturbed.

Finally, the zither music stopped, but the flute music began.

The sound of the zither was very far away, but the sound of the flute was very close.

This was because the flute melody came from the Zhou family's inner courtyard.

It was another small courtyard, another woman, but this woman did not have the worry on Zhou Xueying's face. Instead, she had a slight smile on her lips.

In the woman's hand was a short flute, the corners of her mouth slightly pursed as the flute melody lingered. The flute melody reverberated in the endless night, sometimes it was as clear as dew, sometimes it felt like it would shatter with a touch. Sometimes it was as warm and beautiful as sunlight, but then it suddenly began to rain; sometimes it was as calm as the surface of a river, and then it suddenly stirred up a ripple.

However, those who heard it were mesmerized.

"With a single thought, all mountains and all rivers will be annihilated."

The girl put down the flute in her hand as she recited.

"Wuhui, how is it?"

A middle-aged scholar on the side said.

So it turned out that the woman's name was No Regret. This name was indeed a bit special. No Regret?

Why did he have no regrets?

The premise of having no regrets was naturally to have no regrets, to regret life without any regrets.

And who was the person who asked the question, it was none other than Lai Rufeng.

"Master, he's here."

"Are you sure it's him?"

another man beside him asked.

"Senior brother, other than him, no one else has reached such a level in their zither skills. Although he was only playing one of Shui Zhou's folk songs, which is dull and powerless, the unique spirituality of Qin Ya's bloodline was clearly mixed within the zither music. "

Lai Rufeng laughed for a bit, then said: "Qin Ya's successor is naturally not an ordinary person, it's just that I don't know why he is using the zither in the middle of the night to probe, but thinking about it, Qin Ya's successor's character shouldn't be low, and she wouldn't do anything out of line."

"However, you should still be careful during tomorrow's competition."

Lai Rufeng paused for a moment before adding.

"Yes, Master."

Lai Rufeng acknowledged him, then walked into the house, leaving Wu Se and the man behind. The two of them looked at each other speechlessly, and then looked towards the direction where the sound of the zither disappeared.

His eyes were bright, but it was as if the other party could feel them.

On a certain rooftop in Xitang, a girl looked towards the Zhou Family residence. Her eyes were as smooth as the moonlight, and her hands that were placed on the zither were white as snow.

What was interesting was that there was a man standing next to the woman. However, this man gave off a cold aura that could repel people a thousand miles away.

"What's wrong?"

The man asked. Although his tone was very cold, he seemed to be very respectful to that woman.

"Our opponent tomorrow is very strong. It seems like Xiao Ya has really taught her everything she learned in her lifetime."

The woman smiled.

The man's gaze was somewhat disdainful as he said, "Anyway, our real goal is not this competition."

"Tell me, if Qin Ya knew that we kidnapped his successor, what would she do?"

The woman always had a smile on her face when she spoke.

The man did not say anything, he knew clearly that the cultivation levels of the Qin Ya and Xiao Ya were extremely terrifying, but why would they be afraid?

The night had grown darker, but there were still many people who had not fallen asleep.

There were even people shuttling through the streets, one old and one young, looking like they had just arrived at Xitang, looking for a shop on the streets.

The old man's back was somewhat hunched, and his expression was cold. The old man's appearance was very ordinary, but his background was not small. Most importantly, his cultivation was very high.

This point was indisputable, because from the killing intent on his body, it could be seen how an ordinary cultivator dared to brazenly reveal his killing intent on the streets.

Only he was not afraid, or rather very arrogant.

Yet this kind of person with a high cultivation was willing to walk behind a child, and that child's cultivation was only at the ninth level of Soul Condensation Realm. It could only be said that this child's status was extraordinary.

The night wind was blowing on the street, but the child's clothes were untouched because of the old man behind him.

Finally, in the dim light, the figures of an old man and a young man disappeared into the darkness.

The scenery of the Xitang was bustling like yesterday.

The streets of Xitang were already filled with people early in the morning, but it seemed that most of them were headed towards An He bridge.

There were fewer merchant ships on the Luo River than usual, because today's competition between Xiao Ya and An He and the two would be held on the Luo River River that was beneath the bridge.

Both sides of the bridge were filled with people, but there was no one on the bridge.

Although they were waiting anxiously, the citizens of the Xitang were not worried at all. This was because the competition between Qin Ya and Qin Ya that happened once every ten years had become a custom in the Xitang, so it was naturally to be the focus of attention.

Qin Ya and Xiao Ya had become famous Rankers in Linzhou for a long time. Not only were the two of them profound in cultivation, their zither skills and flute skills were also extremely powerful, and it was said that they were originally from the same sect as their teacher. What was worth mentioning was that they were once divine companions that the people of the world envied, but then, for some reason, they split up.

This competition happened once every ten years, and this year was the fifth Qin Xiao competition.

However, what's different from previous years is that this year's competition isn't between two people, but is between their respective successors. As for the reason … It was because Xiao Ya said that he did not wish to see Qin Ya.

As a result, everyone was very curious about what Xiao Ya's and Qin Ya's successors looked like, and whether or not their music could be as stunning as the two seniors.

This kind of competition was very interesting. The story behind the competition was even more fascinating.

As a result, not only did the people of Xitang want to come and take a look, the three great families, the various big sects, and a few scholars, all came from far away to take a look at this feast.

Suddenly, the people on both sides of Luo He instantly fell silent, and then there was an uproar!

That was because two ships were already approaching.

"It's the Zhou family's ship."

Someone from the crowd shouted.

Naturally, many people recognized the two ships. As the owner of the Xitang, the Zhou Family had naturally arranged such a grand event to be arranged by the Zhou Family. Firstly, it was to show their respect to the owner and secondly, it was to show the prestige of the Zhou Family.

Of course, there were also intentions for them to rope Xiao Ya and Qin Ya in. After all, many powers yearned to be associated with such strong people even in their dreams.

However, based on the competition from the past few times, it seemed that Xiao Ya and Qin Ya did not want to take advantage of the Zhou family.

Slowly, the Zhou family's ship was leaning on the embankment close to the An He Bridge. The ship was huge, and the most important thing was that it was extremely luxurious, but there were only a few people on the ship. Zhou family's patriarch Zhou Yiqun, his sons Zhou Chuanning and Zhou Xuan, as well as the Zhou family's Chief Reverend Ye Tianxiong, the patriarch of Yao Family Yao Tianheng and the Grand Elder of the Yao family.

Grand Elder of the Yao family sat beside Yao Tianheng, looking like he was in a deep sleep. This old man was indeed very old, Yao Family was truly worried that one day he would close his eyes and be unable to open them.

Such a loss is a huge loss to the Yao Family because... That was a Soul Destroyer Realm expert, in the whole of Lingxiao Kingdom, there were not many.

And Zhou Chuanning was also silent like the Grand Elder of the Yao family, his eyes continuously swept across the crowd on both sides, as though he was looking for someone.

That person was naturally his precious little sister, Zhou Xueying. Although he had instructed her not to appear when he left the sect, he was extremely clear on his little sister's temperament … Zhou Yiqun and Yao Tianheng were currently chatting and laughing softly at this moment. This kind of scene undoubtedly told the world that the relationship between the two families was not normal. This kind of scene seemed more like it was purposefully being seen by some people, such as the Jiang Family.

Of course, the Jiang Family had also seen it.

This was because, at this time, another boat had arrived. That ship was obviously the Zhou Family's ship, but the people of Jiang Family stood atop it. There was only one explanation, that the Jiang Family had stolen the Zhou Family's boat.

In fact, two of the Zhou Family's merchant ships were indeed robbed a few days ago. At that time, the Zhou Family sent someone to investigate this matter, but now it was clear.

And today, the Jiang Family was actually using the Zhou Family's boat to watch the Qin Xiao competition.

It was a blatant provocation!
