Chapter 519: Chapter 519

"Miss Lin, I’ve heard that you play the zither quite well. My Seventh Brother and I would be honored if we could listen to a piece," Shan Langyuan said with a smile unabated.

"If Seventh Prince and Tenth Prince don’t mind, then I shall play a tune."

The maiden behind her handed over the zither she was carrying, and Lin Yueer carried the zither to a chair, carefully placing it on the table.

Then she began to play.

To Gu Lili, the sound of the zither was barely decent, but to the men and women around, it seemed like a heavenly tune, each of them incredibly astonished.

Perhaps it was because she didn’t understand the beauty of the zither music.

As everyone was intoxicated, Su Changzhi appeared.

Wearing a blue robe, his hair tied up high, his long and narrow phoenix eyes full of enchantment, and his red lips hooked into a sinister smile, he held a fan in his hand, and in almost an instant, he appeared in front of Lin Yueer without any hesitation and removed her veil.

The crowd gasped instantly, all with expressions as if they saw a fairy.

Gu Lili admitted that Lin Yueer was indeed beautiful; being a nine-tailed fox, her foxy charm was apparent, but surely it wasn’t to that degree?

As if she was the most beautiful in the world.

"Ninth Prince, you are too rude!"

This soft rebuke made everyone look towards Su Changzhi.

"But to have a glimpse of Miss Lin’s face, isn’t it a bit stingy not to?"

Lin Yueer, angered, walked away with the zither.

To dare to give Ninth Prince a cold shoulder, she truly must have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, and yet, her disinterest piqued Su Changzhi’s interest who promptly chased after her.

Gu Lili was about to look at rouwan, when suddenly the scene spun around, changing.

It was Long Chan and Lin Yueer in a pavilion playing chess; the two were silent, but every gaze they exchanged was filled with deep emotion.

As Gu Lili was watching rouwan, it kept walking back and forth between the two, circling like it was dizzying itself and finally, Lin Yueer couldn’t help but ask, "Seventh Prince, can you please stop your cat from circling? I’m getting dizzy."

Long Chan spoke, "Rouwan, sit down quietly."

Rouwan seemed not to hear him and continued as if being spiteful.

Long Chan’s face stiffened instantly, his tone intensifying with reprimand, "Rouwan!"

Rouwan shuddered visibly, startled, gave him a look of reproach, then ran away.

Gu Lili followed the Li Mao, which wasn’t running fast, stopping now and then, looking back as if waiting for its owner to come after, but nobody did.

Its owner was busy playing chess with a beauty, not caring about it.

Perhaps understanding this, it went back to its nest, lying down obediently, and Gu Lili leaned in to examine it.

She found it was shedding tears.

When Gu Lili woke up, she heard the pattering of rain nearby, having dreamt again, feeling exhausted.

She suddenly opened her eyes, looking towards the place the sound came from, just as she sat up, two tall figures rushed in from the door. Thɪs chapter is updated by N0veI.Fiɾe.net

Sharp pain struck her, an unexpected silencer-equipped bullet first hitting her right shoulder.

Gu Lili, enduring the pain, pulled out the Huiling Sword and thrust it into the shadows, stabbing a man in the abdomen, his body immediacy falling to the ground.

She quickly rolled out of the bed, her back hit by two more shots from another man. When she reached for the gun placed by her bedside, Gu Lili’s entire body was halfway leaning over the edge of the bed, using it to protect her stomach.
