He Wei Ni Ya's Snap

After He Wei Ni Ya uttered those words, the entire cabin fell into a deathly silence.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the servants standing on either side of Ha Duo Ke immediately stiffened, staring intently at He Wei Ni Ya, as if they might rush at any moment.

Ha Duo Ke's expression remained largely unchanged. He calmly gazed at He Wei Ni Ya, his eyes showing little surprise, as if he had already anticipated this possibility.

After a brief silence, Ha Duo Ke slowly spoke, "Your honesty surprised me. I originally thought you either didn't dare to come or would continue to lie to me."

He Wei Ni Ya shook her head. "I'm not that stupid."

With no outsiders present, Ha Duo Ke had far too many ways to verify her identity, and He Wei Ni Ya did not believe she could deceive him.

"Of course you're not a stupid person," Ha Duo Ke said. "Otherwise, the real Hai Luo Family heiress, and my daughter, wouldn't have fallen into your hands."

He paused.

"To be honest, I still can't believe that you came from a place like this."

"I'm not just talking about your once-in-a-millennium Golden Score, but your ability and your courage. These extraordinary qualities, even among nobles, require countless years of education and experience to build up. But as far as I know, the time you've truly received education is only one year."

"But you killed and replaced He Wei Ni Ya, the most valued young lady of the Hai Luo Family, and defeated my thoughtful daughter. You even fooled me with your on-the-spot reaction a few days ago."

"I'm very curious, really curious, so curious that I want to find your parents and see how they raised someone like you."

"Unfortunately, I couldn't find your parents; at most, I could only find..."

He slowly got up and kicked the black sack he was sitting on toward He Wei Ni Ya.

The black sack struggled for a moment, then quickly went silent.

"The only one we could find was your aunt, whom you asked us to get rid of. A woman with no distinguishing features, so stupid she was practically a ghost. According to her description, your mother was even worse than her."

"So, those, like your Golden Score, are all gifts from the Lord of Holy Sound... If that's the case, then it's truly enviable."

Faced with the enemy who killed his daughter, Ha Duo Ke did not choose to take action directly, but instead spoke a long string of words.

He Wei Ni Ya lowered her head and looked at the sack in front of her.

She knew it was her aunt, and she also knew that the other person was not dead, but had just fallen into a coma.

"You didn't kill her." He Wei Ni Ya looked up at Ha Duo Ke again. "That means you don't completely trust me either."

"Of course," Ha Duo Ke said calmly. "That night, my Daphne didn't return on time, and I had already prepared for the worst. I thought the woman named Ariana would be the last one alive, but I didn't expect it to be you. I was really surprised when I learned that the eldest daughter of the Hai Luo Family had returned home safely. This made me realize that you are a more dangerous person than Daphne imagined, so today..."

Ha Duo Ke tapped the ground twice with his foot.

A pleasant "ding-dong" sound rang out, like Music Box that had been wound up.

Immediately, countless spiderweb-like Magic Power patterns spread out from Ha Duo Ke's feet in all directions, almost instantly covering a large area that completely enveloped the small house, forming a unique magic circle.

He Wei Ni Ya was naturally also in this magic circle.

"... I am fully prepared."

The moment Ha Duo Ke finished speaking, his two servants also took out their staffs. The magic circle beneath their feet resonated with their power, and the patterns became even more dazzling and radiant.

Clearly, Ha Duo Ke did not completely trust He Wei Ni Ya, just as he said, and had made two preparations.

Either the father and daughter will meet peacefully, or it will turn into an ambush.

But now it is clearly the latter.

He Wei Ni Ya also grabbed the staff from her sleeve, but she didn't act immediately because she could tell that Ha Duo Ke hadn't finished speaking.

"You know what? I originally thought there were only two possibilities today. Either it was Daphne who came, then there was nothing to say. But if it wasn't Daphne but you, then I would kill you and then take the score." Ha Duo Ke said softly. "But the moment I saw you, I suddenly thought that there might be a third option."

He paused.

"You shall become Daphne, you shall become my true daughter."

Before He Wei Ni Ya could react, the expressions of her two servants changed first. They instinctively turned their heads and stared at Ha Duo Ke in astonishment.

Clearly, Ha Duo Ke's remarks were also unexpected.

He Wei Ni Ya had already taken out her staff, and after hearing Ha Duo Ke's words, her expression didn't change much, but she still asked, "Why?"

"Because I admire you," Ha Duo Ke said bluntly. "I admire not only the chart you possess, but also the series of qualities I just mentioned. To achieve this level despite your humble origins is, in my opinion, no less valuable than the Golden Score. In this respect, you really are like Daphne."

"Do I look a lot like Daphne?"

"Yes." Ha Duo Ke nodded, then a flash of recollection crossed his eyes, and he said softly, "Our Te Lei Er Family has been an appendage of the Hai Luo Family for so many years, nobles in name but servants in reality. No one was willing to change it, and no one dared to change it, except for my daughter Daphne. She noticed your difference, guessed your identity, and... proposed the plan to hunt you down."

"From this perspective, you and Daphne are very similar. You both came from humble backgrounds and were even once toys of that Hai Luo Family's eldest daughter, but you did not accept your fate and did things that ordinary people could not imagine. It's just that you succeeded and Daphne failed. But if you think about it carefully, we, who have the same qualities, should not be on opposite sides. If it weren't for that disguise, I believe you and Daphne could have become true friends."

At this point, Ha Duo Ke paused for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and reached out to He Wei Ni Ya, his originally sharp gaze gradually softening.

"Since we are the same kind of people, why not unite together? Te Lei Er Family, become my daughter, and let me be your father. Believe me, I will be a better father than anyone else, and the Te Lei Er Family will be your strongest support. Let us play together... the Seven Sound Divine Song."

Ha Duo Ke's words were full of sincerity.

He Wei Ni Ya looked at the outstretched hand and knew that as long as she responded, Ha Duo Ke would definitely accept her as he had said.

She also believed Ha Duo Ke was telling the truth.

However, she did not make a choice immediately, but said, "But if I kill Daphne, will it be alright?"

"Daphne won't care." Ha Duo Ke didn't lower his hand. "I lost a daughter, but I gained a better one. I think she will be very happy, especially when we play the Seven Sound Divine Song. That will be the best consolation for her."

After Ha Duo Ke finished speaking.

He Wei Ni Ya remained silent for a long time.

Then, he burst out laughing.

She seemed to have heard the funniest joke, so much so that she had to clutch her lower abdomen and eventually laughed until tears streamed down her face.

Ha Duo Ke's hand remained suspended in the air, but the gentleness and expectation in his eyes gradually faded amidst the laughter.

"It seems we can't reach an agreement." Ha Duo Ke slowly lowered his hand. "To be honest, it's a bit of a shame. You made a very unwise choice."

He Wei Ni Ya's laughter gradually subsided.

Although she acted exaggeratedly, there was little sign of a smile in her eyes.

Even so, she said to Ha Duo Ke with a hint of regret, "No, actually I really wanted to say yes, but unfortunately, you're too late. There's someone who probably won't allow me to have a new father."

"I see," Ha Duo Ke said calmly. "It seems you trust the Hai Luo Family more than ours."

Ha Duo Ke thought that the "person" He Wei Ni Ya mentioned was the head of the Hai Luo Family.

But He Wei Ni Ya shook her head and whispered, "No, that's... a much more troublesome guy."

The moment He Wei Ni Ya finished speaking, the musician to Ha Duo Ke's left made his move, immediately raising his staff and pointing it at He Wei Ni Ya, the Universal Notes engraved on the staff lighting up inch by inch.

Of course, he did not act rashly, but was instructed by Ha Duo Ke.

After being rejected by He Wei Ni Ya, Ha Duo Ke lost his last bit of patience and didn't want to listen to He Wei Ni Ya continue her nonsense.

Since you don't want to be my daughter,

Then go see my daughter.

Ha Duo Ke had long been prepared to take the Gold Score right under the noses of the Hai Luo Family.

Within this pre-carved magic circle, everything they did would remain unknown to outsiders. Furthermore, He Wei Ni Ya had come alone, so as long as they killed He Wei Ni Ya here and then disposed of her body in any mass grave, no one would be able to find her.

Just like a year ago.

Seeing the musician on her left aiming at her, He Wei Ni Ya neither dodged nor chose to defend herself. Instead, she raised her staff, seemingly ready to fight fire with fire, but she was aiming at Ha Duo Ke instead.

Ha Duo Ke made no move in the face of He Wei Ni Ya's aim, but the musician to his right stepped in front of him and began to play a protective melody.

Thus, the three magical melodies began to coalesce simultaneously and reached the stage of near completion.

With no one moving, the impending magical clash seemed inevitable.

This puzzled Ha Duo Ke, who was standing behind the shield.

... What is He Wei Ni Ya trying to do?

Are we just going to stand there and wait to die?

Ha Duo Ke didn't understand.

In the last second before the three spells were completed, he heard a crisp snap of fingers.

A snap of fingers?

Although he didn't know why, Ha Duo Ke suddenly felt uneasy.

Almost simultaneously, their two nearly completed spells suddenly vanished.

Both players were stunned.

What's going on here?

Before they could figure it out, He Wei Ni Ya's spell was already complete.

A sharp ray of Magic Power shot out from the tip of the staff. In the narrow room, the musician standing in front of Ha Duo Ke had no way to avoid it. The arm holding the staff was instantly pierced through from the palm to the shoulder by the ray, which then pierced Ha Duo Ke at the back with unstoppable force.

And it goes straight to the heart!

Ha Duo Ke was greatly alarmed.

Fortunately, he had already been alerted, and the musical notes on his staff were now constantly moving.

A sudden Rubik's Cube appeared between him and the musician, Magic Power intercepting the ray and refracting it ninety degrees, ultimately piercing through the wall on the other side without harming Ha Duo Ke.

Even so, Ha Duo Ke felt little relief.

He was still in shock.

Why did those two spells suddenly disappear?

He Wei Ni Ya clearly didn't do anything, at least he didn't see it.

He had never even heard of any Movement Spell that could cancel two nearly completed three-note spells in an instant.

What kind of power is that?!

Ha Duo Ke's heart sank.

It seems that Daphne's failure was not accidental; there is something about this girl that they do not know.

"Aaaaaah!"

The injured musician was still screaming in agony.

Because the rays emitted by He Wei Ni Ya were not one-time events but continuous, the musician was like a skewered piece of roast meat. To escape from the ray that pierced through his entire arm, he would have to sever his arm.

Ha Duo Ke would certainly not allow such a thing to happen. Daphne's failure had already cost the family four experienced musicians. Now, the three of them were the last musicians the Te Lei Er Family could still offer. He couldn't bear to see even this fighting strength be further diminished.

Therefore, Ha Duo Ke made a decisive move, no longer holding back or testing the waters, and the third fundamental tone belonging to the exquisite silver tier began to operate.

Sharp thorns immediately sprouted from the soles of He Wei Ni Ya's feet and the top of her head.

[Four Sound · Spiked Ceiling Impalement]!

Meanwhile, the other player also released the Prisoner's Prison of Two Notes on He Wei Ni Ya, intending to trap He Wei Ni Ya in place.

They have done this kind of coordination many times, and few players can react in time.

Just like now, the moment that prison is formed, the spikes will pierce He Wei Ni Ya's body. If she doesn't escape or fight back immediately, then...

"Slap."

Another snap of the fingers.

The nearly completed prison was reduced to dust, and the spikes on its head turned to dirt.

Both spells were canceled once again.

Ha Duo Ke's eyes widened.

Meanwhile, He Wei Ni Ya had completed the preparations for the new spell, and the condensed ray suddenly swelled.

"Damn it!" Ha Duo Ke tried to save the musician, but it was too late.

The radiation exploded.

The player's arm and half of his body turned into a bloody mist.

An experienced silver scale player has fallen.
