When the zither spirit appeared, all of the people around the pool were stunned.
They watched with wide eyes as the zither spirit danced and danced merrily above the pond. The zither music they heard was like waves of summer wind carrying a lotus fragrance.
Some people silently put away their instruments. Seeing the zither spirit, they no longer had the heart to fight.
However, there were a few who picked up their musical instruments – they did not want to admit defeat and still wanted to fight. However, they had yet to find the time to play and could only stand by the side of the pool.
Suddenly, a sharp flute sound rang out and an eagle-like figure flew across the surface of the pond. The wild ducks that were originally happily swimming behind the Zither Spirit immediately fled in all directions like frightened birds.
However, at this moment, the zither music flowed like pearls as it scattered. The zither spirit's water sleeves fluttered, and the entire sky above the pond became the pink color of the zither spirit's water sleeves. The falcon's figure could no longer be seen!
The zither notes were melodious as the wild ducks quickly returned to the zither spirit's side. At this moment, the zither spirit's hands seemed to be waving about, causing tiny ripples on the surface of the water. It was as if there were many small worms roaming about on the water.
The wild ducks immediately started to move forward crazily, and the urge to search for food quickly made them rush forward. When all the ducks in the group wandered to where Bai Ruyue was, the zither spirit let out a giggle, and then the zither music stopped. Bai Ruyue's figure disappeared from the side of the pool.
"Sure enough, you're the first one out!" When Bai Ruyue walked back to Demon Suppressing King's side with large steps, Sha Yanliu could not help but clap her hands in praise.
"Duke Yi is too polite." Bai Ruyue smiled as she returned the greeting. At this time, the king cleared his throat and said, "Duke Yi, the results have yet to be revealed, yet you've already started clapping. It seems like the victor in your heart is White Girl?"
Duke Yi stood up and replied, "In reply to Your Majesty, White Girl's zither skills are outstanding. Yan Liu is at a disadvantage. I think she will definitely be number one today!"
"Oh? Is she stronger than Yu Xiu? "
Sha Yanliu nodded without hesitation: "That's for sure. Although Princess Yu Xiu's flute technique is superb, it's still not enough to become a living being. And the most important thing is …" Sha Yanliu looked at Bai Ruyue:
"When we were facing the demons in the Dark Shadow Forest, it was White Girl who played a song,《 Celestial River Calm》, which scared the monster off!"
"What?" Everyone had a face full of surprise, but at this time, everyone heard a soft "pa da" sound, and all of them turned their heads to see Princess Yu Xiu, who had appeared out of nowhere, standing there with an embarrassed face, and beneath her feet was the flute she used to use.
"Duke Yi! "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" In the array, Yu Xiu saw that Bai Ruyue was actually using a Baoqin and even summoning her Zither Spirit, causing him to feel utter despair!
However, she was unwilling. She couldn't afford to lose, because there was a bet between them!
She lured the wild ducks to the side of the pool, and succeeded in getting out of the formation. In her heart, she still thought that she might still have a chance of winning, but the moment she heard Sha Yanliu saying that he had actually scared the monster off with a song called《 Heavenly River Tranquil》, she felt as if her entire body had fallen into a bottomless pit!
It was already amazing for their skills to be able to fool the beasts, but the monsters were the ones being deceived!
"Princess Yu Xiu, you've never asked me before!" Sha Yanliu said with an innocent look on his face, "But I have told you before, a teacher was a student of mine who learned the Zither Technique and the Life Arts. That teacher is White Girl!"
Sha Yanliu did speak the truth, but his words were like knives stabbing Yu Xiu all over.
With a dark face, she returned to her seat. The atmosphere in the pavilion instantly turned bad.
At this time, Bai Ruyue had completely ignored her.
When the result of this round came out, everyone who knew of Bai Ruyue's achievements had already calmed down: Bai Ruyue had once again obtained a tenth, and although Yu Xiu was ranked second, the number of reserves she had was only a mere third.
Yu Xiu had never received such a low bargaining chip before. In the past, it was only her and Sha Yanliu who competed hard against each other in this aspect, but now … This result was quite a face-smacking, which meant that Bai Ruyue's strength was at least three times that of hers!
Yu Xiu's face became extremely ugly. She grabbed her wine cup and drank three cups in succession before starting on the third item: Counting.
The number was the number of calculations.
Those who were good in this field naturally went to the plaza. Yu Xiu was not very good at this field, so she did not plan to go down, but if she did not move, Bai Ruyue would not move. Seeing that Bai Ruyue did not intend to get up, she could not help but open her mouth:
"Why didn't the White Girl come down? Is that your weakness? "
"What does it matter if it's weak or not!" Princess, the bet that you and I have made is a bet that we will win or lose. If you don't step down, you won't be able to get anything.
"Are you saying that if I don't participate, you won't participate? Could it be that you do not wish to compete for the title of Hundred Blossom Pavilion's pavilion master? "
"That's right! I am not interested in the Hundred Blossom Pavilion Master's name. As long as I can win against you, it's fine. " Bai Ruyue's extremely truthful words, simply struck Princess Yu Xiu right in the face. She stood up in anger, "I hope you can also win against me in your future projects."
After saying that, she left the stage. Bai Ruyue put down the wine cup in her hand, and just as she had said, she got up and left the stage as well.
When the competitors entered the ring, everyone in the audience looked at each other.
"What's going on? Why is Yu Xiu making a bet with the White Girl? " The King asked, and the tea that was serving Yu Xiu immediately stood up and said:
In reply to his majesty, the princess was in the pavilion greeting a lady today, but White Girl did not come forward to greet her. The princess ordered a servant to invite White Girl over, but White Girl was disrespectful to the princess.
These words were all replied to Yu Xiu's tyrannical act, only Bai Ruyue did not know the rules.
Hearing that, the king frowned: "Yu Xiu didn't act recklessly? I'm afraid that with her bad temper, she must have provoked the White Girl first? "
Upon hearing these words, Bai Cai immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, the Princess did not act recklessly today, it was White Girl that was disrespectful to the Princess first …"
"En!" The King questioned them, and the Demon Suppressing King said: "Your Majesty does not need to care about who was provoked first. Your Fifth Princess has a bad temper, and my little thing has always been crazy, whenever they get into a fight, it doesn't matter, since we can compete who wins, and in the future, there will be someone who knows how to lower their head, that's fine!"
Although Demon Suppressing King's words seemed to be helping him, the truth was that every word was aimed at Bai Ruyue, and the important part was that the last sentence, immediately caused the country leader's eyes to have a tinge of worry.
But at this time, Bai Ruyue, who was inside the array, was actually a bit troubled, because she had encountered a problem that gave her a headache:
She was surrounded by a group of people, all of these would need to be looked at by Princess Yu Xiu, who was sincerely her henchman, preventing her from entering the room to calculate things.
If she made it later, she would naturally gain fewer chips. However, if she made a move and used her soul power against so many people inside the formation, she didn't know if she would be the cause of any trouble …
What should he do? Am I going to lose this match?
