Quick Wear: Boss, she won again by doing nothing

Chapter 495: Don’t be disrespectful to the gods, or you will die (57)

Tian Jie replied without hesitation: "Of course!"

He waved to the maid waiting outside the door, and the maid came in holding a guqin and placed it carefully in front of him.

"I know that you have been an excellent zither player since you were young, and Rumeng Pavilion is also a place famous for zither skills. Although I often go out to subdue demons, I have not disgraced the name of the Young Master of the Zither Tower."

"You have always played for us. But I recently learned a piece of music and I wanted to play it for you to appreciate."

Xing Rong did not respond, but put down the wine glass in his hand, casually placed his hands on his bent knees, and closed his eyes, as if to indicate that he could begin.

Upon seeing this, Tian Jie raised his hand and stroked the strings of the zither. His bony fingers began to pluck them gently. Continuous and melodious notes appeared on the surface of the lake, as if interacting with the water, making people involuntarily intoxicated by them.

He turned his head to look at Xing Rong's reaction, while she closed her eyes and concentrated on enjoying his music. Her white and slender fingers gently plucked the piano in rhythm with the music, as if she was playing with him.

Suddenly, the tune speeds up, and the music changes from melodious and gentle to fierce and passionate, just like thousands of troops galloping out in an instant, and the sound of swords and sabers on the battlefield makes people feel the tense battle atmosphere.

The pleasure boat now came to the middle of the lake. Xing Rong's eyes under the mask suddenly opened, and the playing of her fingertips stopped. She looked sharply outside the boat, as if she had discovered something.

Tian Jie did not stop playing, the tune became more and more tense and rapid, ripples continued to appear on the surface of the lake, and the waves became more and more violent.

Xing Rong quickly drew out her sword and suddenly jumped into the air. Several killers rushed out of the water, holding swords and running towards her. The recliner she had just sat on was chopped into pieces.

The pleasure boat was shaking, Tian Jie quickly put the zither aside, drew his sword, and joined the battle.

The two killers seemed to intend to delay Tian Jie, while the others were besieging Xing Rong who had returned to the pleasure boat.

The battle became more intense, with sword lights flashing and interlacing. Xing Rong's sword moves were sharp and fierce, skillfully attacking the enemy's vital points while deftly dodging their attacks.

They had never seen Xing Rong's swordsmanship before, and they found that they could not get close to him and could not hurt him no matter what.

If they continue like this, they will not be able to report to the Third Prince.

Tian Jie seemed to have sensed their intentions. He pretended to break through the killers' encirclement, approached Xing Rong, and secretly created chaos.

When Xing Rong was fighting the enemy seriously, she suddenly found a sword coming towards him from Tian Jie's left. Before he could react, she subconsciously raised her arm to block the sword for him.

After the killers succeeded, they pretended to be defeated and quickly evacuated the scene.

The lake returned to its tranquility, and the incomplete pleasure boat was enough to show how fierce the fight just now was.

The maids huddled in a corner, trembling in fear, and the boatman also squatted in a corner with his head in his hands.

Xing Rong gently stroked his left arm, which was stained with blood, and looked at Tian Jie in disbelief. His expression was indifferent but also revealed a hint of disappointment. "Is this why you asked me to go boating with you today?"

Tian Jie pursed his thin lips. He looked at her wound anxiously but did not go forward to check.

Although he had expected this result, the sight of the blood flowing from the wound on her left arm still made him feel blinded. It was as if the sword had pierced his heart directly, causing him a dull pain.
