Within Yunzhou Prefecture, at this moment, in an opulently lavish courtyard, the faint sound of a zither could be heard.
Leng Huo, leading Sikong Jing, arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, "Go in. The Ninth Princess is waiting for you inside."
With a nonchalant smile, Sikong Jing stepped forward into the courtyard.
Soon, a pavilion came into view. Surrounding the pavilion were dozens of palace maids, still as clay statues, while in the center sat a beautifully dressed woman playing the zither—none other than Yan Ruyu.
Sikong Jing stood still, his expression unchanging, as he let the piece play to its end.
Gently clapping, Sikong Jing calmly said, "Yan Ruyu, your zither skill has improved."
Lifting her head slightly, Yan Ruyu squinted at Sikong Jing, a smile spreading across her face, "Thank you for the compliment, Brother Jing. How have you been lately?"
As soon as these words fell, Yan Ruyu took on the air of a lofty goddess, looking down upon Sikong Jing.
