Chapter 617: 617

It was near!

As the sound became even clearer, Fang Zhengzhi could tell that he was close to the ”talented person” . The sound of the strings sounded nice and pleasing to the ear .

That fitted the image of a ”talented person” .

But . . .

Why was there a sense of familiarity?

As Fang Zhengzhi took another step closer to the direction of the sound, the sense of familiarity increased and it was stronger than before .

Hold on!

Fang Zhengzhi's body jerked, and he stopped moving forward .

At his front, a looming figure slowly revealed itself as he approached it . He could now hear every detail of the sound of the strings, it was near .

Fang Zhengzhi was certain that if he continued to take a few more steps forward, he was able to see the whole figure .

However, he decided to not go any further .

He turned back vigorously, and began rus.h.i.+ng back to the Northern Mountain Village without any hesitation .

”Why are you in such a hurry, since you're already here?” A voice spoke up behind his back . That was a pleasant voice, and it sounded as smooth as the water flowing down, into his soul .

Fang Zhengzhi stopped again .

He hesitated .

The truth was, he had already figured out who was the one playing the strings, and that was hence the reason of his hesitation .

Yun Qingwu .

This woman had many suitors in the Great Xia Dynasty . While she had no feuds with Fang Zhengzhi, she was not within his circle of friends too .

When he had seen Yun Qingwu for the first time, his heart was at ease .

After mastering all the skills he could and leaving the Northern Mountain Village, he b.u.mped into a singer dancing elegantly at the Hundred Flower gathering .

He felt equally relieved when he saw Yun Qingwu for the second time .

While he was standing in Yun Qingwu's territory, but he had the confidence in him, and there was nothing impossible with this level of confidence .

He challenged Yun Qingwu in their second meeting, during which he attempted to reach out to reveal her face behind her veil . He had also tried to show his tough personality by telling Yun Qingwu that he was not feeling panicky at all .

As for the third time . . .

He no longer felt at ease .

Because there was a group of people standing behind her . They were the Supernatural State, the Rebirth State, and other multiple strong warriors, all of whom had the utmost respect for her .

More importantly, there were countless devils waving their spears too .

Fang Zhengzhi almost ”exploded” during his fourth encounter with Yan Qingwu .

That was because of a blind man named Canyang standing beside her . He could barely remember how he had survived that battle .

In fact, during his past half month in the Flame Capital City, he encountered many opportunities to meet Yun Qingwu, but it all ended with a mere brush-by .

Then . . .

There was the fifth meeting .

Fang Zhengzhi did not have any intention to escape towards the Northern Mountain Village, but he also did not want to have this fifth meeting .

He had no idea who was standing beside Yun Qingwu this time round .

But he was certainly aware of one thing .

Yun Qingwu would never appear alone in the Northern Mountain Village, as the 10 Devilish Domain in the Demon Blood Shadow City would forbid such a happening .

”I don't know what's your intention of making your appearance in the Northern Mountain Village, or whatever new plan you have, but don't you think it's late in the night now? Fang Zhengzhi finally opened his mouth to speak .

Fang Zhengzhi did not want to be involved in any battles with the Demon Race, as he had few remaining time left .

”Why would you think that I came late?” Yun Qingwu spoke again, her voice calm and peaceful .

”Because I'm dying soon, so if you were planning to use the Northern Mountain Village to coerce me, you could have arrived a little earlier!” Fang Zhengzhi reasoned back .

”Do you really think I need the Northern Mountain Village just to attack you?” Yun Qingwu asked .

She was always this peaceful, always of such high status . She did not care about Fang Zhengzhi's misunderstanding at all .

Still so pretentious!

Fang Zhengzhi let out a sigh under his breath .

Of course, it might just be her personality .

Afterall, given her high status, she had no choice but to look calm and composed at times . Fang Zhengzhi did not detest this facade she had been putting on .

In fact, he admired this character that she had been carrying .

There were times when a woman had to fake her charm . If all the women in the world were less pretentious, and expressed their anxiety when encountered problems, where would all the romance and excitement come from?

To put it simply, if a woman was able to put on a act forever, that would no longer be labelled as pretentious .

That would mean that she had truly owned what was a part of her .

Clearly, Yun Qingwu was one of those women .

Fang Zhengzhi's mouth twitched a little, grinning subconsciously . He had always been giving that expression since the first meeting with Yun Qingwu .

Subjugation .

Furthermore, it was an intense form of overpowerment .

It had happened since the first encounter, when Fang Zhengzhi revealed her face under her veil, slowly destroying all her plans .

It had happened since the first encounter, when Fang Zhengzhi revealed her face under her veil, slowly destroying all her plans .

It was amazing .

Yun Qingwu was always ever so magnificent, radiating a strong unconventional vibe off from her body . That kind of elegance and angelic element were like the white snows that protruded from the summit of a snowy mountain .

This woman, with her outstanding talents and intellect, as well as her uncomparable skills, be it in the field of music, chess, books or artistry .

To be exact, this should be very well respected by people .

However . . .

Yun Qingwu was a waste!

It did not mean that she's a useless person, but rather, it was her power had gone to waste .

She had always been looking pure, dignified, and well-respected by the people around her . The kind of attraction could not be expressed in words .

Fang Zhengzhi was not aware about how he felt, but he knew that he had always hoped to stop Yun Qingwu from putting up her act .

There seemed to have a voice beside his ears all these time .

Quickly free her from her pretentious act .

Let her release her true self .

Allow the bright sun to s.h.i.+ne on her body, as the blue sky and white clouds surround her, looking as amazing as she already was .

”So, the youngest king in the Great Xia Dynasty, Fang Zhengzhi, standing on his piece of territory, is afraid of a weak girl like me?” Yun Qingwu began speaking again after awhile .

The sound of the strings began filling the air again . It was not loud this time round . She continued plucking the strings softly using her slim fingers .
