Chapter 2083: He Listened to Her Song All Night
Sikong Jing’s applause, in Fu Miaoling’s eyes, was undoubtedly thickly laden with sarcasm.
In her eyes, Sikong Jing was Qianwang’s Envoy.
"If you don’t agree, it’s okay, I will commit suicide, and my brother will do the same."
"Both of us siblings are not afraid of death."
Her voice grew firmer, and flames of determination burned fiercely in her eyes as she said heavily: "I will absolutely not be a pawn of the Thousand Prison Tower. When we siblings received the inheritance, we were already prepared to die."
Now, Fu Miaoling must be even more resolute to strive for more...
And Sikong Jing finally stopped clapping, instead looking at Fu Miaoling and said, "I’m not... hmm, someone is coming."
He originally intended to say "I’m not Qianwang’s Envoy," but suddenly he sensed an incredibly powerful aura appearing, and then quickly said again, "A top-level Emperor is arriving, so the Emperor’s Artifact around is ineffective, it must be withdrawn."
Speaking of this, Sikong Jing immediately withdrew all the Emperor’s Artifacts he had just arranged.
Then he looked at Fu Miaoling and said, "Play the melody for me, I want to hear the stringless ethereal melody."
With the arrival of the top-level Emperor, he couldn’t continue speaking with Fu Miaoling anymore, otherwise, they would be heard immediately.
And he couldn’t do nothing, so he had to make Fu Miaoling play the zither.
Fu Miaoling was stunned at his request, hesitated slightly, and still took out her Stringless White Jade Zither, then began to play.
Her heart was conflicted, knowing well that a powerhouse from the Holy Craftsman You Family had come to monitor her.
And now, as long as she points out that this person in front is indeed Qianwang’s Envoy, the You Family would definitely silence him, but the Qianwang Holy Tower is one of her options...
She indeed wanted to attract the attention of Overlord Commerce, but if that failed, she would have no choice but to select the Qianwang Holy Tower.
Although the Qianwang Holy Tower is a fire pit as well, perhaps it’s worth a gamble.
As she pondered, she ultimately closed her eyes and focused on playing her zither.
Outside the room, two streams of light had already descended...
They floated in mid-air and watched the situation inside the room. One was the old woman You Yao and the other an old man from the Holy Craftsman You Family, who was the Family Head and also the Mountain Master of Holy Craftsman Mountain, named You Dan!
Thus, Sikong Jing just sensed the top-level Emperor.
Watching the two inside the room, one playing the zither and the other listening, Mountain Master You Dan’s expression was grim.
While the old woman You Yao spoke with overflowing hatred: "Still playing the melody, and continues to play the stringless ethereal melody, this damn Fu Family brat is simply courting death."
Speaking, You Yao looked to You Dan and said, "Mountain Master, shall we kill this black-clothed youth immediately and then..."
"No need, killing this black-clothed youth tomorrow won’t be too late."
You Dan’s cold and aged voice interjected, heavily saying: "Since we want to punish this brat, it must be thorough. How can it end without the punishment starting?"
Upon hearing this, the old woman You Yao immediately nodded, letting Fu Miaoling lose her body was her first punishment and warning.
"However, remember to use your brain in the future."
Suddenly, You Dan’s voice turned severe and fiercely said: "Trying to punish this brat in such a manner, what sense is there in involving outsiders? It’s not like our Holy Craftsman You Family doesn’t have men, we have plenty."
The implication was that the old woman You Yao had been reckless.
To punish Fu Miaoling, it didn’t need to be done publicly like this, they could directly send in the men from the You Family. Fu Miaoling was a secret holder of the Mechanical Messenger Bird, how could they allow her to contact outsiders alone?
And You Yao, blushing, of course lowered her head...
She whispered, "Mountain Master, I was impulsive at the time because I was so angry, I promise it won’t happen again."
Previously, she hadn’t felt it was a big deal, but now thinking back, she was a bit scared; the secret of the Mechanical Message Bird must absolutely not be leaked to outsiders, at no time can they not be cautious...
"Hmph, now stay here and monitor them closely, you must clearly hear every word they say."
As You Dan said this, he turned around and left, immediately going to question the servants who had just brought Sikong Jing and Fu Miaoling inside.
That is, he asked them whether they had heard anything the two said in the room earlier?
The answer, of course, was that they hadn’t heard anything, due to the sound being obstructed by Sikong Jing’s Emperor’s Artifact, and You Dan didn’t mind it. Anyway, this black-clothed youth was surely destined to die tomorrow...
With that, Mountain Master You Dan left.
The old woman You Yao had made a grave mistake, certainly, she had to stay vigilantly outside the room.
Inside the room...
The stringless ethereal melody kept playing, and Sikong Jing had already closed his eyes, quietly listening to this melody with spatial folding power, while the Spiritual Shadow Power kept observing Fu Miaoling’s True Qi control.
And his beast-shaped Spiritual Shadow entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison, letting Fierce Beasts demonstrate the operation of space power and so on for him.
Sikong Jing was well aware of Fu Miaoling’s character, dead or alive, she would never reveal the secret of the Mechanical Messenger Bird, even if she wanted to join Overlord Commerce, she couldn’t reveal it.
Thus, Sikong Jing of course had to learn for himself...
Time slowly passed, and after the tune was finished, Fu Miaoling again looked at Sikong Jing.
And Sikong Jing naturally said with lingering interest, "Please continue playing, thank you."
With mouth agape, Fu Miaoling twitched the corner of her mouth, then could only continue playing the zither, and Sikong Jing naturally continued listening, continued comprehending!
An hour, two hours, three hours...
The servants outside the room couldn’t help but chatter among themselves: "This Young Master Shen must have some issue, right? Listening to music nonstop till now, does he refuse to defile his inner goddess, or does he really have a problem?"
"Probably both. Damn, really wish I could switch with him..."
"Keep it down, Fu Miaoling’s identity is too special, it’s not for us to spy upon."
At the same time, the hidden old woman You Yao was also thoroughly puzzled, agreeing internally that the servants had reasonable points.
But perhaps this Young Master Shen was holding back, planning to act in the last hour or so?
But it didn’t happen, as another two hours quickly passed.
By now, dawn was breaking slightly, and the tune continued...
Indeed, Fu Miaoling had played for five full hours.
And it was a single melody on repeat. Even old woman You Yao was nearly driven mad from listening, no matter how beautiful, it could lead to a meltdown.
"Damn, I wanted to punish this brat, and this man is messing things up."
The old woman You Yao couldn’t help but grumble.
Promptly, she ordered the servants to knock on the door, hurry and get this Young Master Shen out, simply too annoying.
And Fu Miaoling’s qin Yin also stopped upon the servants knocking on the door.
With bleary eyes, she watched as Qianwang’s Envoy was shown out by the Holy Craftsman servants.
Fu Miaoling’s mood, of course, turned peculiar because of this... Qianwang’s black-clothed youth Envoy listened to her tune all night without touching her, seemed like she escaped the First Tribulation?
But she soon chuckled silently, her body may have escaped, but even more terrifying matters lay ahead.
He hadn’t mentioned how he would deal with her yet.
