Chapter 1336 Goodbye Liu Ruyan
The interior of Hongya Pavilion is magnificent and golden.
A few minutes later, Xiao Yi and Xia Mingyao arrived at a grand banquet hall.
There were nearly thirty people in the banquet hall at this time, most of them were men.
They gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and talking, but in their hearts they were all looking forward to it. After all, most of them came for the courtesan Liu Ruyan.
Especially since this name has been circulating here for two or three days, they are getting impatient and want to find out what's going on.
Even if they are mostly cultivators, they cannot escape the worldly desires. Such a stunning woman is welcome everywhere...
When they saw Ye Xin, many people took the initiative to say hello.
There were also some people who recognized Xia Mingyao and came forward to greet her.
Just then, a woman with excellent temperament began to host the show, and everyone came to the front of the stage and took their seats.
Xiao Yi and his friend's table was naturally in the front row.
Soon, the performance on the stage began, with various musical instruments, such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and singing, which were truly wonderful.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the finale Liu Ruyan would soon appear on stage, and everyone's expectations were raised to the peak.
"Can you be more serious?"
Xia Mingyao noticed Xiao Yi's absent-minded look and said.
"The question is, can I? This is happening right in front of you. If you want to bury me, you don't have to go through so much trouble to dig a hole."
Xiao Yi couldn't laugh or cry.
"Am I so petty in your eyes?"
Xia Mingyao was helpless.
"It's you who is looking at it through tinted glasses and doesn't know how to appreciate art."
"Then I'll go to the symphony. Everyone there is dressed so formally, whether on stage or in the audience."
Xiao Yi said seriously.
"Each of them has their own beauty. They work so hard and have both beauty and talent. It would be disrespectful if you don't watch them."
Xia Mingyao said.
"If you say so, then I'll just keep watching. I want to always respect them."
Xiao Yi finally looked at the stage openly and stopped pretending.
"..."
Xia Mingyao rolled her eyes. This guy is simply amazing.
At this moment, the last wave of actresses on the stage bowed and went back to the stage.
Then, the female host returned to the stage.
"Everyone, we have finally reached the most important part of the night. Our courtesan, Liu Ruyan, will be meeting you soon..."
The female host kept everyone on suspense.
Everyone smiled and looked forward to it.
"Are you looking forward to it?"
Xia Mingyao asked deliberately.
"If I say no, will you believe me?"
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.
"Do not believe."
Xia Mingyao shook her head.
Xiao Yi: "..."
Then what are you asking?
On the stage, as the lights flickered, Liu Ruyan finally appeared after much anticipation.
Today, she has her hair tied up with a long hairpin, and her hair is soft and graceful, charming and delicate, with a faint scent like orchid, which is very alluring.
"I go……"
"Oh my god, this is not a human, it's clearly a fairy."
"It really lives up to its reputation..."
Many people in the back row exclaimed in amazement, this courtesan was so beautiful beyond words.
"Have these guys never seen a woman?"
Xiao Yi muttered to himself, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It really was her!
“I think it’s beautiful, too.”
Xia Mingyao also looked a little dazed.
"No matter how beautiful you are, you are not as beautiful as me."
Xiao Yi looked serious.
"Your desire to survive as the Heavenly King doesn't need to be so strong. Can you just look at it with appreciation?"
Xia Mingyao lowered her voice.
"I am a layman. I don't have such high attainments."
Xiao Yi curled his lips and looked away, also to avoid looking at Liu Ruyan.
His little action was noticed by Xia Mingyao. There must be something wrong here...
"Good evening, everyone."
Liu Ruyan, holding a pipa, stepped forward, bowed, and introduced herself.
In the audience, many people's eyes widened, still a little confused.
Especially the chirping of swallows, which touched the deepest part of their hearts.
"Next, I will present a song for you..."
Liu Ruyan sat down slowly, extremely elegantly.
Then, she began to play, but she hardly looked at the audience the whole time.
She had seen too many scenes like this, and as for the people in the audience, in her opinion, they were simply not acceptable to her.
Soon, the clear string sounds, sometimes like the gurgling of water, flowed slowly in my ears.
Sometimes it is like the moment when a sudden rain stops, it is exciting and shocking to the soul.
A piece of pipa music is like the sound of nature, touching the heartstrings, with lingering sound, making people immersed in the wonderful world of music, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.
"The music of the pipa has been played for thousands of years, and people today can still hear it..."
Xia Mingyao was also immersed in it and felt quite emotional.
At this moment, Xiao Yi finally couldn't help but look up.
He didn't know why, but when they met again, he felt a little emotional, especially when he found that Liu Ruyan seemed a little different from before.
Although she was in a good state of performance, Liu Ruyan's eyes always showed a sense of emptiness and sadness.
Others might not be able to notice this, but as an 'old friend' of his, he could see it at a glance.
Maybe...something happened later...
Xiao Yi muttered to himself.
When the song ended, the place was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
wow...
The deafening applause echoed throughout the banquet hall and did not stop for a long time.
The sound of the pipa seemed to have a soul, impacting the hearts of everyone present and making them intoxicated.
Afterwards, the staff brought the guzheng up again, and Liu Ruyan put down the pipa and sat down again.
It was at this moment that she inadvertently glanced at the audience, and the next second, her whole body began to tremble.
"Xiao...Xiao Yi?"
Liu Ruyan's gaze fell on Xiao Yi, and a hint of surprise flashed in the depths of her eyes.
How can this be……
At this moment, her heart was like a raging wave, shaking extremely, and at the same time she was extremely excited and happy.
However, when she noticed the woman next to Xiao Yi, she calmed down a little.
It was too late for Xiao Yi to lower his head, and the position he was in meant that he would be seen by Liu Ruyan.
"Miss Ruyan."
Seeing Liu Ruyan distracted, the staff at the side stage shouted softly.
Liu Ruyan came back to her senses and made preparations before the performance, but her hands were obviously flustered and she didn't dare to look up at Xiao Yi again.
She was extremely surprised to meet the person she had been thinking about here...
She tried her best to suppress the restlessness in her heart and began to play.
Even so, some people still noticed something unusual and were confused as to why.
Xiao Yi's heart moved. If he had known, he would not have sat so close. He also noticed the strangeness in Liu Ruyan's eyes. It should be because she saw him.
In any case, he saw surprise in Liu Ruyan's eyes, so he could basically judge that the other party was not coming for him.
"Is it really such a coincidence?"
Xiao Yi muttered to himself.
Xia Mingyao obviously discovered something. She felt that Liu Ruyan's abnormality must be related to Xiao Yi.
However, in her peripheral vision, Xiao Yi seemed so calm.
Her eyes were always on Liu Ruyan. As a woman, she felt it very deeply.
Liu Ruyan on the stage let out a long sigh, nodded to the audience, and then began to play...
