Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

Chapter 168 No One Can

She finally picked out a cat made of green jade, asked the price, gave the spirit stone to the stall owner, and replied to Si Huangjing, "I guessed."

"It's getting late anyway, Your Majesty probably can't afford to wait a little longer. Should we stop by and take a look?"

The other two obviously had no objection.

I continued walking along this road, and before I turned the corner, I heard some noisy piano sounds coming from the alley.

"Oh! I remember now." Si Huangjing slapped his forehead as if he understood after hearing the noise.

"The teahouse said a few days ago that they would hold a competition tonight to select the 'Qinxian'. I guess those who signed up are practicing their music now."

Comparing piano skills? Songs?

Shen Qiao seemed to be lost in thought.

when--

A gong sounded, and a man dressed as a teahouse waiter walked up to the stage with a brass trumpet and started chatting with the people present to warm up the atmosphere.

Although the three of them were far apart, Shen Qiao could hear it clearly. The general message was: The teahouse had invited a zither player, said to be incredibly skilled, to take charge. Whoever defeated this player and won the title of zither master would be granted free tea in the teahouse for life.

After the introduction, a woman in a green dress with a thin gauze covering her face walked up from the stage. She bowed slightly to the audience and then walked to the prepared piano and sat down.

"Do you know this woman?" Shen Qiao gestured to Si Huangjing to identify her.

Si Huangjing looked up at the crowd for a long time, finally sighing and shaking his head. "I don't know her. I've seen several famous zither girls in the capital. Although this woman has most of her face covered, her eyes show that she's not someone I know. Sigh!"

He suddenly realized what was happening, and said with a bit of excitement, "You mean this woman is the one the stall owner just mentioned..."

"It's impossible to judge for now." Shen Qiao thought about it.

It's a pity that she is not good at music, otherwise she could just go up and try it out and the problem would be solved.

She nodded her chin and looked at Si Huangjing first, "Can you play the piano?"

"Me? Playing the piano?" Si Huangjing scratched the back of his head. "You're flattering me too much. How could I sit still and learn that?"

Tsk, it’s unreliable.

She looked at Wang You again, but quickly rejected the idea of ​​asking Wang You to compete in piano playing with others.

She had heard of Wang You's piano before, and it was a waste of talent to use it here. If it attracted unnecessary attention, it would cause more trouble.

Needless to say, Chi Musheng is a "ghost". It would be better to ask her to chop wood than to play the piano.

Wu Jin could do it, but Wang You had put him into hibernation by hiding him in his sword. Thinking about it...

"Then there's only one way."

Wang You and Si Huangjing both looked at her, as if they were waiting to see how she would perform.

The two of them saw her turn around and go to a less noticeable corner. After about ten seconds, a man in a black and white robe and a veil was led out, holding her hand.

Wang You raised his eyebrows.

Si Huangjing's face was filled with shock, his eyes wide open.

After coming out of Prince Xu's mansion, Zui Bugui disappeared, so Si Huangjing didn't notice him.

According to Shen Qiao, although her sword spirit has a face that is very easy to get along with, she is actually an autistic person. She is okay with her own people, but she will never show her human nature to outsiders unless fighting.

Wu Jin is just a simple homebody, but he is actually very good at flirting with people. He is really socially anxious when he stays out drunk.

"Who, who is he? How many men are around you... um!?" Seeing that she had brought out another one in these few seconds, Si Huangjing became a little restless and blurted out a word without stopping. Fortunately, Wang You reacted quickly and silenced him with a silencing spell.

Hearing this, Zui Bugui was about to draw his sword and chop him down, but Shen Qiao quickly held him back, "Then do as agreed. Once you're done, stand up and leave the stage. Don't worry about what others say. I'll meet you downstairs."

Zui Bugui glanced at Si Huangjing with dissatisfaction, then bowed slightly to Shen Qiao, "Yes."

Afterwards, Shen Qiao took Zui Bugui to register for the competition. Si Huangjing and Wang You did not move forward and waited outside the crowd.

"I want to ask you something." Si Huangjing rubbed his mouth and said to Wang You who was standing against the wall with his arms folded.

"What's your relationship with her? She seems to respect you very much, but sometimes I feel that your relationship isn't that structured." He breathed a sigh of relief when his lips finally stopped numb after trying.

"Silly question."

Si Huangjing was so annoyed that he couldn't help but twitch his lips. He said patiently, "You are so boring, you have to give me an answer, right?"

"Now that I know what you are going to do?" Wang You's gaze fell on the group of people a little further away, and it seemed that his mind was not here.

Si Huangjing became serious. "If you are her teacher or friend, I will treat you with courtesy. But if you are anything else to her..."

He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, "I will compete with you."

Wang You: “…Heh.”

"why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at your wild imagination." Wang You tapped his arm with his finger, "You'd better give up this idea."

Si Huangjing was obviously unsure of what he meant, "Are you jealous?"

"She has never been someone who should be trapped in love." Wang You said, narrowing his eyes slightly and looking at Si Huangjing lightly, his voice was contemptuous and irresistible.

"No one can disturb her mind. No matter who it is."

The sound was terrifying. Si Huangjing and Wang You exchanged glances, and a chill spread from the soles of their feet up their entire bodies, causing him to shudder violently. But perhaps because he was stubborn, he endured the pressure and asked one more question, "Including yourself?"

Wang You narrowed his eyes slightly and seemed to be smiling.

"Yes."

It was clearly just a glance between them, but the long speech Si Huangjing had prepared long ago was instantly wiped out, and the previous obscure thoughts no longer emerged in his mind, as if his heart was suddenly empty.

"I...I was just asking casually." His eyes became empty.

"I'm just curious about your relationship and it excites you. I don't have any intention of doing anything, no."

He repeated himself mechanically, not even knowing what he was saying.

"Very good." Wang You spoke slowly, and after he looked away, a faint golden light that was not easy to notice emerged from between Si Huangjing's eyebrows.

Wang You wrapped his fingers around the flowing light and played with it for a few times. He saw that the halo gradually became transparent and finally dissipated.

He clapped his hands, looked at the somewhat dazed Si Huangjing, and slowly guided him, "You are just curious. Don't have any other thoughts in the future. After all, you are not worthy of liking her. Do you understand?"

Si Huangjing stared blankly at one place, Wang You's words echoing in his ears. He nodded slowly and spoke.

"I'm not worthy of her... I won't mess with her anymore..."
