"Opera!"

These two words deeply touched Hua Chao's heart.

For her, opera was of extraordinary significance. Opera not only supported her livelihood, but also was the most precious legacy left by her mother. It was something she could never give up in her lifetime.

That thick stack of opera scripts was the painstaking effort of her and her mother, but it would be a long time before they could be published.

Compared to the seven-character and five-character poems, opera was still in its infancy, only suitable for the entertainment of nobles. It was difficult to reach the level of high culture. As for the finished drama, it was even more impossible to expect.

But now, she seemed to see hope.

If she could win the favor of the officials in charge of music, she might be able to see the drama recorded in the Zhou Music Bureau in her lifetime. Her mother should be able to rest in peace knowing this.

"Wuji..."

Hua Chao looked at Ying Wuji and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Since she didn't know what to say, she decided to do something.

She took a step forward and tightly embraced Ying Wuji.

Ying Wuji was originally sitting leisurely, but he suddenly felt the sky darken and then he was suffocated in happiness.

It was so soft and warm.

I'm going to faint.

After more than ten breaths, he finally came back to his senses.

Hua Chao then realized what she had done and her beautiful face was blushing under the candlelight. She pretended to be calm and said, "Don't worry! When the drama is recorded in the music bureau, our names as brother and sister will definitely be listed."

"Of course!"

Ying Wuji smiled and looked back at the place where he had almost been suffocated.

Hua Chao cursed inwardly and bit her lip, "But this 'The Beauty Executioner'..."

Ying Wuji quickly shifted his gaze and replied, "Don't worry about the lack of fame, I have my ways. You just need to focus on how to perform the drama, as there will be a lot of people needed."

"Don't worry! I know some singers who will definitely help. I'll go find them now!"

After Hua Chao finished speaking, she fled from the study.

The door closed and Hua Chao leaned against the wall in the backyard, looking at the bright crescent moon in the night sky, panting heavily and her heart beating rapidly.

For a moment, she seemed to understand why her mother had been so devoted to Luo Yan back then.

But then she thought, was Luo Yan worthy of being compared to her dear brother?

No way!

No way!

To read the uncut version, go to ].

No way!

He was her dear brother, why did she compare him to Luo Yan?

Hua Chao spat lightly and touched her flushed cheeks, feeling both happy and sad in her heart.

...

[Prompt]: Emotion fluctuation value has exceeded 90, randomly obtained the Xuan-ranked special spell "Demon Seed."

[Prompt]: There are no demon seeds in the host's body, absorption failed. The host can choose a demon seed to give away. If not given away within fifteen minutes, the demon seed will dissipate.

"Demon Seed?"

Ying Wuji's heart skipped a beat. When he first met Hua Chao, he noticed two light balls behind her emotional bar, one yellow-ranked and one Xuan-ranked. The yellow-ranked "Master of Music" had already been obtained by himself.

He didn't expect the Xuan-ranked one to be a demon seed, but what exactly was a demon seed?Looking closely, the truth was finally revealed.

【Demon Seed】: a seed of the heart demon, under certain conditions, can more easily induce growth into a heart demon, and form a life-saving spell.

Ying Wuji's face darkened: "This..."

Anyone could see that the tragic life experience has always been a nightmare that Hua Chao cannot escape from, so it's not far-fetched to say that she would form a heart demon.

But there are many people with heart demons in this world, but only one in a million can form a life-saving spell.

However, the introduction of this "demon seed" is one hundred percent forming a life-saving spell, and it is almost certain that this demon seed has been artificially planted.

And this setting is very similar to the doctrine of facing pain and becoming pain itself in my religion.

So... not only did Hua Chao unintentionally become a tool for my religion to assassinate herself, but she herself was also targeted by my religion?

Upon careful consideration, it is very possible!

Regardless of how Luo Yan's motives and methods are disgusting, it can be seen that he wants to protect his daughter thoroughly. With such an identity, if he is used by my religion, his role will not be much worse than his own.

Damn it!

"Young Master?"

"Ah? What's up?"

Ying Wuji turned his head and found that Bai Zhi was looking at him, her lips opening and closing, but she couldn't say anything.

He smiled: "Just say what you want to say!"

Bai Zhi pouted and said aggrievedly, "I don't know what I want to say..."

Ying Wuji: "......"

...

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and in the blink of an eye, several cycles have passed.

These days, the city of Jiang has become more lively every day.

Although the Hundred Family Gathering will not be held until the middle of next month, the literary meeting will be held at the beginning of next month. The literary meeting is related to the opportunity for the Hundred Family Gathering to directly communicate with the wise men of various families in the realm of spiritual enlightenment. Those Hundred Family students who have not been selected as elite students naturally want to compete for these few places.

The main force has not yet arrived, but the younger generation has already arrived. The prices of the entire city of Jiang have been raised by one level.

At the teahouse opposite the headquarters of the Flying Fish Guards.

Ying Wuji looked at the people coming and going downstairs and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Damn, there are too many people!

Fortunately, this teahouse is expensive enough to keep most people out, so he can be a little quieter.

"Young Master Wuji, you're spending money!"

Wu Shuangxu still had no expression on her face: "I don't know what business you have to discuss, why choose such an expensive place where you can't even eat enough?"

Ying Wuji: "......"

Whether to say it or not, this female centurion is an honest person.

He smiled: "Miss Wu, don't worry, just order whatever you want to eat. I guarantee you'll be full!"

Wu Shuangxu raised her eyelids: "It seems that Young Master Wuji has made a lot of money these days!"

"Small money, all small money!"

Ying Wuji grinned: "Miss has helped me so much, I have always wanted to repay Miss, but I have never found the opportunity. Finally, I caught a time when both sides were free, so naturally, I cannot neglect it! I just bought some herbs that can help with cultivation, please don't dislike them."

As he spoke, he took out a package of herbs from his arms and pushed it in front of Wu Shuangxu.Seeing Wu Shuangxu hesitating, Ying Wuji continued, "Although it was your sect's intention to help me, the later Spirit Awakening talismans were like timely assistance. Sect matters aside, personal relationships are also important. If you don't accept it, I'm afraid it will hurt my feelings!"

"Thank you, then!"

Wu Shuangxu did not refuse any further and accepted the medicinal materials graciously.

Ying Wuji nodded secretly. Although he didn't know what Wu Shuangxu's sect was planning, it didn't seem like there was any major ill intent. This connection still needed to be maintained well. Even if there was any ill intent, giving these things would lessen his psychological burden when he had to betray them in the future.

He looked down at the floor below and couldn't help but be curious, "Miss Wu! This Hundred Families Gathering, isn't your Daoist sect not participating? Why have there been so many young people in Daoist robes appearing in Jincheng recently?"

Wu Shuangxu took a sip of tea, "Because the Daoist sect is going to do something even more lively than the Hundred Families Gathering."

Ying Wuji became interested, "Oh? What is it?"

Wu Shuangxu shook her head, "Young Master will naturally know when the time comes, there's no need to be impatient. However, among the Daoist disciples, there is one person that you should want to meet!"

"Who?"

"My senior brother!"

"I wonder who your senior brother is…"

Wu Shuangxu smiled, "In the dynasty, my senior brother is just a nameless pawn. Even if I tell you his name, you might not know him. However, he sent a letter a few days ago, saying that when he descended the mountain, he happened to encounter a team of Flying Fish Guards, and he helped them capture a man, who should be the one who taught Miss Hua Chao the Huqin."

Ying Wuji: "!!!"

He subconsciously clenched his fists.

Damn it.

Finally, there was news of this bastard.
