The musicians, instrumentalists, and performers all glanced at the dark river surface and uncontrollably shivered. Although they had already been on edge, putting forth their utmost effort, upon hearing Wang Liu's words, they all doubled their resolve, as if trying to muster two hundred percent of their spirit.
Seeing that everyone had taken his words to heart, Wang Liu was somewhat relieved. After a stern warning, he offered them a sweet date, "Of course, tonight, if you manage to please Marquis Yan Qing, avoiding any mishaps, I will report to our master and you will be handsomely rewarded. Those things you have wanted, those you have strived hard to attain with great difficulty, if you pass Marquis Yan Qing's test today and make him happy, I will do my utmost to help you achieve them."
The group exchanged looks and unanimously nodded.
