Zhong Fengyue picked up his chopsticks, raised his head to look at Su Xiaoliu, pursed his rosy diamond - shaped lips slightly, and said softly, "By the way, wife, something has happened to the Tang Family."
The Tang Family?
Su Xiaoliu stopped her chopsticks. She raised her head and stared blankly at Zhong Fengyue, asking, "What's going on?" Why would something happen to the Tang Family out of the blue? Moreover, with the highly - skilled martial - artist Island Master Tang around, even if someone caused trouble, it would just be a trivial provocation to the prestigious Tang Family. She bit her lip and said, "Is it the Alliance Leader?"
Zhong Fengyue pursed his lips. Remembering what Chu Xun had said when he came before, he looked at Su Xiaoliu and said, "It's not the Alliance Leader. I heard that there was a verbal dispute between the Tang Family and the Wei Family over Tang Yuyan. Unexpectedly, the matter got out of hand. Coupled with the sudden appearance of Cang Nanyan, the Wei Family joined hands with Cang Nanyan to frame the Tang Family. The Tang Family declined overnight, and Island Master Tang is now missing."
The Wei Family joined hands with Cang Nanyan?
Su Xiaoliu was stunned. Why would the Wei Family do such a thing as to kick someone when they're down and join hands with Cang Nanyan to frame the Tang Family? Weren't these two families long - time friends? And Young Master Wei Feng was always upright. How could he listen to Cang Nanyan and frame the Tang Family? Could it be that Cang Nanyan instigated and masterminded this vicious scheme?
"After the battle at Wanku Valley, the Alliance Leader has been recuperating. He was seriously injured. His entire right hand was almost useless. With such a serious injury, he could barely handle the official documents of the martial world, let alone spare the energy to think about harming the Tang Family." Zhong Fengyue picked up the teapot beside him and slowly poured hot tea into the empty cup in front of him. His long eyelashes drooped as he said softly, "I'm afraid someone else is secretly masterminding all this."
Someone is secretly plotting all this?
Su Xiaoliu lowered her head and pursed her lips. She whispered, "Why would they want to harm the Tang Family?" She had heard from Chang He before that Island Master Tang rarely caused trouble in the martial world. He was loyal and generous. It would be extremely difficult for him to make enemies. Who on earth was it that used the Wei Family and Cang Nanyan as sharp knives to secretly frame the Tang Family?
Zhong Fengyue put down the teapot, raised his eyes to look at Su Xiaoliu, and said softly, "The Southern Star Lord had been lurking beside the Alliance Leader before. He would pass on the Alliance Leader's information to the Tianci Cult in the first place. After the Cult Leader passed on the information, Chu Xun told me. All these were conveyed to me by Chu Xun."
The Southern Star Lord?
Su Xiaoliu frowned slightly. She looked up at Zhong Fengyue and asked, "Who is the Southern Star Lord?"
The Eastern Star Lord was Duanmu You, the Northern Star Lord was Jiang Li, the Western Star Lord was Wanyan Meng. But she had never seen the Southern Star Lord.
This Southern Star Lord was really mysterious.
Zhong Fengyue looked at Su Xiaoliu. His long eyelashes fluttered as he said, "The Southern Star Lord is extremely good at the art of disguise. Maybe you've already met him. His surname is Bai, and his given name is Qing."
Bai Qing?
Su Xiaoliu slightly widened her almond - shaped eyes. She had never heard this name before. Also, the art of disguise? The Southern Star Lord could do the art of disguise? Maybe she had already met him. She had met so many people. How could she remember who the Southern Star Lord was?
After a long silence, Su Xiaoliu pursed her lips, lowered her head, and whispered, "Situ Qianyue, let's not get involved in these martial - world matters..." The martial world was too chaotic, and she just wanted to live a good life and not get involved in those worldly disputes.
Zhong Fengyue looked up at her. His jade - like ink - colored eyes quietly looked at her pursed lips. He nodded and said, "Okay, we won't get involved in those matters anymore."
The food had already gotten cold, and Su Xiaoliu had lost her appetite. She sighed softly and raised her eyes to look outside the door.
The capital was still bustling with people and full of excitement.
After lunch, Su Xiaoliu quietly sat at the door, propping her chin with her hand. Her hair fell on her neck, and her thoughts were wandering.
"Wife, can you play the zither?"
The clear and pleasant voice of Zhong Fengyue rang in her ears. Su Xiaoliu couldn't help but look up.
Zhong Fengyue in a white robe was walking towards her with a purple - wood zither in his arms. Under his jade - like ink - colored eyes, his nose was straight, and his rosy diamond - shaped lips were slightly curved. He had an indescribable ethereal charm.
Her gaze fell on the purple - wood zither. Su Xiaoliu put down the hand that was propping her cheek, looked up at him, and said, "Elder sister can play the zither. I also learned a bit from her before, but I haven't touched the zither for a long time. Now I can't remember the tunes anymore." When mentioning her elder sister, her eyes became a bit dim.
Zhong Fengyue walked in front of her, put the purple - wood zither on the table. His slender fingers gently slid across the strings of the zither, and a clear and pleasant sound of the zither came out, with a lingering aftertaste. He reached out and gently pressed the strings, and the sound of the zither stopped. Zhong Fengyue looked up at Su Xiaoliu and smiled, "If wife is interested, I'll teach you some tunes. How about that?"
Su Xiaoliu slightly widened her almond - shaped eyes and couldn't help but be a bit surprised. She said, "Situ Qianyue, you can play the zither?" She only thought he was good at swordsmanship, but she didn't expect him to be interested in such elegant pastimes.
His jade - like ink - colored eyes were smiling as he looked at her. Zhong Fengyue sat down at the table, his fingers gently falling on the strings. He said softly, "The people of the Tianci Cult must be both civilly and militarily accomplished. I learned the zither in my spare time from practicing swordsmanship. It's just a superficial skill and not comparable to those zither masters."
The people of the Tianci Cult are all both civilly and militarily accomplished?
Su Xiaoliu stared with her almond - shaped eyes. She didn't expect that everyone in the Tianci Cult was so amazing. Suddenly, she curled the corner of her mouth, walked in front of Zhong Fengyue, tilted her head to look at him, and asked, "Then can Jiang Li, the Northern Star Lord, play the zither?" It was really hard to imagine such a romantic young man sitting down to play the zither.
Hearing her question, Zhong Fengyue couldn't help but chuckle. He raised his eyes to look at Su Xiaoliu. His long eyelashes fluttered as he smiled and said, "The Northern Star Lord is good at calligraphy, but he has never played the zither."
Oh? Good at calligraphy?
Su Xiaoliu blinked her almond - shaped eyes. She didn't expect that Jiang Li could even do calligraphy. She looked up at him and continued to ask with interest, "What about the Eastern Star Lord and the Western Star Lord? What are they good at?"
Zhong Fengyue looked at Su Xiaoliu. His red lips curved as he said softly, "The Eastern Star Lord likes the flute, and the Western Star Lord likes dancing." After a moment, he added, "The Southern Star Lord likes writing poems. He is a well - learned person."
Su Xiaoliu slowly opened her mouth wide. She didn't expect that the four Star Lords of the Tianci Cult were all so amazing. People really can't be judged by their appearance...
Suddenly, Su Xiaoliu remembered something. She lowered her voice and whispered, "What is your Cult Leader good at?"
Zhong Fengyue curled the corner of his mouth and quietly looked at Su Xiaoliu. He said, "The Cult Leader is good at playing the zither, and he plays it very well."
The Cult Leader of the Tianci Cult is actually a zither master. It really surprised her.
Some people said that the Cult Leader of the Tianci Cult was an old man, while others said that he was only in his twenties or thirties. Su Xiaoliu had never seen this Cult Leader. It was said that the Cult Leader looked a bit similar to Zhong Fengyue, the young master of the Tianci Cult. Would she be able to tell them apart?
