10 Princess You Yan's Banquet (3)

Zhu Xiao Wan requested, "But Xiao Wan needs a zither to perform for Princess."

Zhu Xiao Qian and Ning Su Cai were not worried, they heard her play before.

She walked to the center of the hall, a servant girl handed her a zither and silently retreated to the side.

Zhu Xiao Wan smiled cheerfully, "Xiao Wan will play a piece for Princess and everyone here." Her fingers plucked the strings, the music was soothing and peaceful.

"Her skills are very good."

"Yes."

"I want to hear it again."

"It's...the sound is ever finer than Princess'"

When Princess You Yan heard the compliments and praises, she was about to flip in anger. Gritting her teeth unnoticeable, she lightly said, "Young Miss Xiao Wan is wondrous at playing zither."

Zhu Xiao Wan smiled and thanked her before going back to her place. She wondered, 'Did she offended Princess You Yan?'

Shortly, battles of one-on-one started. Ning Hai Heng was dragged on stage to fight by Han Po Ting. Ning Hai Heng could be called a genius. His contractual spirit had awakened a few months ago and he was about to become a Third Stage Red Spirit.

After a watching a few battles, Zhu Xiao Wan hid herself and left. She walked around for a while, found a flowers fountain and rested there. The wind made her silver hair flutter as she admired the moon. Zhu Xiao Wan opened her mouth to question, "Shen Wang also like to admire the moon?"

A man in a white robe with golden embroidery came out from the shadow behind her.

Song Hui Yao said, "You won't mind me joining, right?"

Zhu Xiao Wan did not respond so he took it as a yes. Staring at her hair, he asked, "Why are your hair silver?"

She didn't answer but said, "I also don't know why."

They didn't speak anymore. Listening to the winds and admiring the brightly shone moon together, they appeared to be like a pair of immortals.

Suddenly, Song Hui Yao narrowed his eyes slightly while a strange smile crept onto Zhu Xiao Wan's face. Someone was peeping on them.

Zhu Xiao Wan said, "Big Brother Xiao Qian will be waiting, Xiao Wan will take her leave first."

Song Hui Yao nodded and watched as Zhu Xiao Wan walked farther away until she couldn't be seen any longer. He waited for the amateur spy to run away before he said, "Yin Yi, investigate her and her brother."

Yin Yi was the one that followed Zhu Xiao Wan before. When he heard his master order, he left to do his job.

Then Song Hui Yao turned to go out of Princess You Yan's Manor, thinking, 'People of the plaster saint sure are dumb.'

-----

After the banquet, Princess You Yan returned to her chamber. A servant girl came and whispered something into her ear. After the servant girl left, Tang Rue's face gradually became incensed, "Ning Xiao Wan, why is it that Song Hui Yao took the initiate to talk to you, but not me!"
