Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

She clenched her fingers, her emotions churning, until she could no longer control herself and raised her hand to follow.

No... no one can understand her, and no one will truly understand him!!

She wanted to see how far this person in front of her could go!

The crowd in the audience no longer dared to speak. The two people on the stage seemed to have completely lost control, fighting against each other, yet skillfully combining every harmony.

The intensity only increased, and it could even be said to be a bit insane, as if thousands of ghosts were wailing together, crying so heart-wrenchingly that blood was coming out of all their seven orifices!

The crowd grew frightened and unconsciously began to miss the slower part of the song until someone suddenly realized what was going on.

Not everyone can let go, and not all stories have to have a happy ending of reconciliation.

Life and death are never a joke, and they can never be easily reversed.

This is also why the feeling of regret and remorse is difficult to reduce.

So the final ending of this song must be...

The listeners were immersed in this huge grief and fear, when they heard a sudden strumming of the strings on the platform, followed by the sound of broken strings.

The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Drops of blood flowed down his fingers onto the bare piano board. Tao Yao's eyes were red and he was immersed in his emotions for a long time and couldn't calm down.

Both sides suffer.

The greatest pain that the dead can give to the living is living.

Carrying the will of the deceased, living a life worse than death.

After playing the song "Zui Bugui", he paused for a short while before standing up and leaving the stage, not giving anyone time to recover from their emotions.

"Wait!" Tao Yao reacted and stood up and followed regardless of everything.

The audience only came to their senses when they saw her come down from the stage, and they were all confused.

"This... this is hard to tell who's winning, right?"

"The second half is really..."

It seems that it is really difficult to find extreme words to describe this feeling. I can only sigh and shake my head.

"Absolutely."

Tao Yao chased all the way to the backstage, and as soon as she entered the room, the wooden door behind her closed automatically. She woke up suddenly, her eyes flashed and she became alert in an instant.

"I asked him to bring you here."

A female voice sounded, and Tao Yao narrowed her eyes at the woman who followed her into the room. "Who are you? Where's the person who played the piano just now?!"

"I will let him explain everything to you, but before that, I need to confirm one thing with you." Shen Qiao looked at her and spoke.

"What did the Imperial Master do to you during the blessing this morning?"

Blessing...

Tao Yao frowned, her eyes still red. The ensemble just now had clearly made her almost lose control, but she didn't want to show her weakness, so she suppressed her emotions and spoke with hostility, "Are you from the Imperial Master's Mansion?"

Shen Qiao saw that she didn't believe him, so he raised his hand and took out a waist badge with gold letters on a black background from his waist.

"I am Shen Qiao, a disciple of Tianxing Sect. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this for yourself."

Tao Yao took the badge with half belief and half doubt. When she rubbed the surface of the token with her fingers and used a little spiritual power, she found that a silver-white "star" word emerged.

It is the sect’s exclusive mark. This person is not lying.

She returned the token to Shen Qiao and boldly opened the coat she had been wearing around her neck. "He poisoned several people who were blessed with Gu worms."

The skin was also obviously red, but it was not as serious as the old man who showed symptoms. "I only found out after I got out, otherwise I would have taken revenge at that time."

Shen Qiao took back the token and tossed her a jade bottle. "When we were entering the city, we encountered an old beggar who was ill, so we tracked him down. This is the antidote."

Taoyao took out the medicine bottle, opened it, sniffed it, and ate it directly with her head tilted back.

Shen Qiao chuckled, "Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you?"

"There's no need to be afraid." Tao Yao swallowed the pill whole.

The demon race's ability to withstand these poisons must be better than that of ordinary people, so there is no need to take those precautions when detoxifying.

"I want to see him."

Shen Qiao pointed behind her and said, "Of course."

Tao Yao turned around and saw Zui Bugui standing in a corner far away from her.

"...I want to see your true face."

Zui Bugui shook his head and refused, going straight to the point: "I heard the second half of this song from someone else."

"Who?"

"Zhan Qingchen."

Tao Yao was so excited after hearing this, "Where have you seen him before?!"

Zui Bugui glanced at Shen Qiao and, after getting permission, spoke, "By the Naihe Bridge."

"You..." Tao Yao frowned, the emotions in her eyes changing again and again, "You lied to me..."

"I didn't." Zui Bugui shook his head, "I'm not a 'human'."

“It’s a spirit.”

spirit......

Tao Yao looked at Shen Qiao, as if she had noticed something, "Your weapon spirit?"

"Yes." Shen Qiao did not hide it.

Although Taoyao felt complicated, she decided to listen to the situation first.

"Then how did you know him?"

"Because of his inner ties, he couldn't forget worldly affairs and wandered on the Naihe Bridge for a long time. This song was played by him at that time."

"Later, the zither strings broke, and his soul was taken away by the underworld to reincarnation."

"Reincarnation..." Tao Yao placed a hand on her heart and couldn't help but take a step forward, looking at him hopefully. "Do you know where he was reincarnated? Or... what will he be like in his next life?"

Zui Bugui subconsciously stepped back and shook his head, "Sorry, I can't know that."

"So... so reincarnation really does exist?" She finally burst into tears again.

"I originally planned to stay in the capital for a while and then go with him..."

"But now, I've changed my mind. I'm going to go find him."

Shen Qiao thought of what Xu Tang had said, and asked, "Don't you demons not believe in reincarnation?"

"I originally thought so, but I can't let him go. Even if I can only see him from afar, it would be fine." Tao Yao said frankly. She smiled with tears in her eyes and looked at Shen Qiao, "You are still young and probably don't understand these things."

Shen Qiao: “…”

Well, she really didn't understand.

"Actually, even if you didn't come to find me, I would have done something." She rubbed her eyes and wiped away her tears.

"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. I, Taoyao, will not suffer any loss. Whoever poisoned me, I will definitely take revenge on him!"

Shen Qiao thought about her performance just now, "So the reason you agreed to defend the ring, is it because you want to..."

"That's right." She took a few deep breaths and seemed to recover quickly, her eyes sparkling. "I heard that the royal family is preparing a program for a sacrificial ceremony recently. I want to take this opportunity to be selected and enter the palace."

Shen Qiao nodded in understanding, "Isn't that a coincidence?"

Tao Yao frowned in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

"We're going to settle the score too. Do you want to come with us?"
