Chapter 7 The Banquet of the Flute

Li Shen returned to the City Lord's Mansion with Ming Xue, and that night, Zi Xia Linxun held a banquet to entertain Ming Xue, saying that she was grateful to her for retreating from the tsunami and protecting Yuncheng, but she didn't mention Li Ember at all, and seemed to acquiesce in Li Ash's innocence.

After all, people are under the eaves, and Ming Xue is not good at dismissing the face of the city lord, so she did not refuse.

The dinner was not grand, but the celebrities invited were also from Cloud City, and there were some uninvited people, who were said to admire Mingxue's demeanor and come to have a glimpse.

At the banquet, facing the searching eyes of people from all walks of life, Ming Xue's face was condensed and slightly unhappy.

The guests knew that they were rude, their expressions were a little embarrassed, and the atmosphere was not very harmonious.

"Miss Mingxue, please take a seat, this banquet is set up by this official to thank the girl for quelling the tsunami and saving the people of a city. The girl will be our benefactor in Cloud City from now on, and if there is anything you need help in the future, this official will do her best! Zi Xia Linxun made a gesture of invitation, and his attitude was very sincere. Different from the day of the sea festival, the city lord was dressed in casual clothes today, with an easy-going attitude, but there was a faint trace of sadness in the depths of his eyes.

Ming Xue replied lightly, and the displeasure in her heart faded a lot, but she gradually became ashamed! Her retreat from the tsunami was just a mistake, and it was not for the people of Cloud City. For this world, she is like a lonely outsider, and she does not have those thoughts of sacrificing herself to save people for the country and the people.

"I don't know where Miss Mingxue's house is?" This is almost the answer that everyone present wants to know, Ming Xue, such a mysterious woman, no matter how you inquire about it, there is no news. I only knew that a few days ago she came from the Northern Tianli Country.

"Huh!" Ming Xueya smiled lightly, and her silver bell-like voice was like fairy music from outside the sky, but there was some self-deprecation in her tone. "Home? I also want to know where my home is! Maybe in another world! ”

Ling Shuang stood to the side and looked at her young lady with some concern. Half a month ago, the valley lord handed over the young lady to her, called care, but also surveillance, she didn't know anything about the young lady's background, probably except for the valley lord - the mysterious and powerful man, there will be no second person to know.

Everyone was a little disappointed with Ming Xue's answer, but Ming Xue's desolate tone made them involuntarily believe such a statement. She must be the goddess sent by heaven to rescue them in Cloud City, dare to ask how mortal dust can have such a woman who can compete with the power of heaven? But no one would have thought that many years later, it was this goddess in their minds who caused the bloody killing.

The atmosphere of the dinner was not very lively, but there was no conflict. There was an eerie atmosphere with a slight silence.

During the banquet, Ming Xue intuitively locked on her with a strong hostile gaze. When she first arrived in Cloud City, she didn't seem to have any enemies. She took a sip of the wine in the glass, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a brightly dressed young lady in a lake-green breast-length skirt looking at her with displeasure. Ming Xue chuckled in her heart, thinking carefully that she didn't seem to offend any woman! I don't know where this woman came from. It's rare for a woman to attend such a banquet.

"Miss Mingxue, I heard that your flute music is breathtaking, beautiful, I don't know if I dare to compete with Miss Ben?" Mingxue wondered, and the woman actually spoke up! Or ask for a test tune.

Just as the woman spoke, Ling Shuang was shocked, wasn't that one of the women who was sneakily talking behind the rockery during the day? Her voice was thin and sharp, and when she spoke in a high pitch, there was something mean, so Ling Shuang was impressed.

"Qinghe, Hugh is messing around!" The city lord of Zixia immediately scolded the young lady, and did not forget to explain to Mingxue: "This is the little girl Qinghe, who has been pampered since she was a child, please don't care about Miss Mingxue!" ”

"Humph! If you don't dare to compete, you are a coward, and you are ashamed of everyone's admiration for you! The woman didn't listen to the words of the Zixia City Lord at all, and still spoke arrogantly. It seems that Mingxue should not fight in vain.

Ming Xue's cold eyes suddenly touched Zixia Qinghe, and she immediately closed her mouth, shivering all over, as if she was cold.

Zixia Qinghe stood dumbfounded, a little stunned, and the coldness at that moment was like extreme fear reaching the bottom of his heart. What kind of cold, very peculiar, like a cold without the breath of life at all.

"Huh!" However, Ming Xue smiled lightly, as if she was not the one who had just created the freezing point. "Are you sure Miss Zixia wants to compete?"

“…… To ~" She was hesitant and unsure.

"Okay, let's show Miss's Xiaoyin first!" Ming Xue still has a smile on her face, but the smile seems to be very cold, and it is not as close as a expressionless face!

Zixia Qinghe hesitantly instructed the maid to fetch her own red jade flute, which was a birthday gift from her uncle, the prime minister of Liufeng Kingdom, and it was said to be priceless.

At this time, Li Xue was also sitting next to Ming Xue, but he was silent and had no sense of existence, everyone seemed to deliberately ignore him, or maybe Ming Xue's presence made it difficult for everyone to take out their usual attitude towards people like Li Xue! He drank alone, and in the cold moonlight, his red eyes seemed even more eerie.

Everything was ready, Zixia Qinghe stood in the brightest place of the moonlight and played the first tune. It is the phoenix that blows the phoenix, and the phoenix is originally a piano song, and this time it is very innovative to change it to a flute song, but playing such a courtship song in the public, the deep meaning in this seems to be more worth exploring.

In the face of everyone's exploration, the face of the city lord of Zixia turned purple, and he couldn't wait to lock this daughter back in the room immediately.

Zixia Qinghe plays every note extremely accurately, with familiar techniques and changeable skills, and it is indeed very rare to be able to play Xiao Sheng like this at this age. However, it seems to be too rigid, her Xiao voice is a little less smart, and naturally she does not have the shocking appeal of Mingxue.

Li Shen raised his eyes and glanced at Zixia Qinghe with some mockery. He had heard the sound of Mingxue's flute, it was a heavenly sound that was hard to forget after hearing it, and it could not be challenged at will, Zixia Qinghe was just overwhelmed!

At the moment when Li Yan raised his eyes, it seemed that his breath was in chaos, and Zixia Qinghe suddenly messed up the rules, and he couldn't find the tune in his heart anymore! In the face of everyone's exploration, questioning, and impatience...... She finally couldn't hold it anymore, so she threw down the red jade flute and ran away crying!

Zi Xia Linxun couldn't hold it on his face, so he sent the guests back, and a dinner party ended hastily.

Ming Xue sighed lightly, she didn't want to fight with the girl for anything, she didn't have any interest in such mundane things. She came to Cloud City for her purpose.
