Few people heard Qin Yi's words.

Just as he shouted, loud laughter came from outside the door. "Where are the Winged Human Guard? Throw him out!"

The sound was so loud that it drowned out Qin Yi's words.

Where did this idiot come from? Qin Yi didn't know whether to thank it or get angry. He was already wondering how to explain things to his Senior Sister, and this interruption was supposed to ease the awkwardness? But what it said wasn't anything nice...

Turning around, they saw a monster with a Dragon-Headed Wolf-Bodied swaying into the doorway.

Yazi.

Is this guy really stingy, deliberately trying to cause trouble?

Didn't it hear its Senior Sister say, "It's not as good as it was ten years ago"? Even a fool knows they're on our side, so what's the point of causing trouble?

Ya Zi hadn't heard what her Senior Sister said. She had just arrived and only heard her Senior Sister's last sentence, "Hurry up and drive them out," and then Qiu Niu echoed that she wanted to drive them out.

Previously, the brothers wouldn't Qiu Niu's concerts; they just didn't have the inclination, and would fall asleep during them. But Yazi knew that this time the Yuren had come in full force, even Yu Feiling, and knew that the Yuren wanted to talk to Qiu Niu. Qiu Niu rarely received guests, so this was a good opportunity for the Yuren.

The actions of Pixiu towards the Feathered People were not a consensus among the Dragon Son, Qiu Niu certainly wouldn't agree to turn against them. If the Feathered People explained the situation to Qiu Niu might even be beaten to death by Qiuniu. However, the tricky part is that the Feathered People have no evidence that Yazi was behind the mischief, and they might not be able to convince Qiu Niu.

When the time comes, there will be a confrontation. The sea siren Clam Girl will definitely not testify for the winged people. They will just deny it and that's it. What can the winged people do?

Of course, it would be ideal if Qiu Niu could develop a different opinion about the Feathered People beforehand. Perhaps this could even persuade Qiu Niu to join forces and force the Feathered People to submit—Yazi believed all the Dragon Son harbored this thought, but felt it was somewhat underhanded and didn't dare express it openly. If this matter could serve as a catalyst, sparking a consensus to act together, then a bad thing would turn into a good thing.

How can we make Qiu Niu also become dissatisfied with the Feathered People?

Ya Zi had no idea what to do, so he brought up the phoenix feathers. Qiu Niu already knew that the feathered people recognized the phoenix, so saying that would be useless.

Just as this thought was lingering in his mind on the Jianmu tree, he heard the guardian giant shaking his head and saying, "This flute sounds beautiful."

"Yes, I didn't expect the Clam Girl to actually be able to invite a master this time."

"That human seems to be the Husband of a winged person, so why is he with Clam Girl?"

Ya Zi's heart skipped a beat; something was wrong.

It knew better than anyone else Qiu Niu's love for music. If this winged Husband could truly connect with Qiu Niu through music and they could become like-minded, then his words to Qiu Niu would carry more weight than anyone else's. Qiu Niu valued this man more than a younger brother.

Mortals who cultivate the Tao must detach themselves from the mortal world, but how many blood relatives do these Demon Cultivators have? Their secret rivalry is no less intense than anyone else's.

If humans and Qiu Niu really get involved, things will get messy. Ya Zi was anxious to check on the situation, but as soon as he arrived, he heard someone shouting from inside, "Get them out!"

Ya Zi was overjoyed.

It seems this human's performance has gone awry?

This is a golden opportunity. Not only did he lose face greatly in front of Qiu Niu, but now the internal guards are Yuren. Could Yuren possibly let their own divine messenger slip through their fingers?

If we can't do it, won't we offend Qiu Niu along with the Feathered People?

Seeing this as a golden opportunity, Ya Zi seized the chance without hesitation to sow discord among the Feathered People: "Where are the Winged Human Guard? Throw him out!"

As a result, the feathered people, who were initially quite troubled, lost all their troubled expressions after hearing its words, and looked at it as if it were an idiot.

I was in a dilemma because I could tell that it was someone my Husband knew. I didn't know whether I should cooperate or not. My Husband wouldn't be angry anyway, and I could even take advantage of Husband.

What are you trying to do by jumping out like this?

Even a fool could tell that it was just family arguing. Why are you, an outsider, making a scene?

Ya Zi noticed that everyone was looking at it strangely, and just as it was wondering what was going on, Qiu Niu slowly said, "You've never liked the Way of Music, so why are you here all of a sudden?"

Ya Zi said, "Although I don't like music, I respect my elder brother. This Clam Girl was perfunctory last time, and this time she brought in a human to play nonsense. It's practically a provocation against our Dragon Son. The winged people are siding with outsiders. As guards, they stand by and do nothing when they're told to forcibly remove someone. Whose orders are they listening to? Elder brother, you're just too easygoing..."

Qiu Niu's face twitched as he looked at Yu Feiling and Yu Shang to his left and right.

Previously, Yu Feiling had hinted that there was something to discuss after the concert. Qiu Niu didn't know what she meant at first, but now he roughly understands.

Yu Shang suddenly said, "The Fifth Great King said we refuse to forcibly remove them?"

Ya Zi sneered, "So you're willing?"

"Of course!" Yu Shang strode forward, grabbed Qin Yi's arm, and lowered her voice, "Who is that woman inside! Come out with me and we'll talk!"

Qin Yi: "..."

Seeing that the music concert was about to turn into a farce, Qiu Niu finally couldn't help but say, "This person's music is Divine Land Skill, which is beyond our knowledge. As for how well he played the flute, let me, the This King's High Minister, give my opinion first."

Ya Zi said, "Didn't that person just say to drag him out?"

There was a moment of silence behind the screen, then a voice devoid of emotion said, "The playing was so beautiful that it reminded me of my hometown, and I felt a pang of sadness. In terms of musical artistry alone, it Head of the Music Concert."

Yu Shang: "..."

Ya Zi: "???"

Are you trying to scam me?

Behind the screen Ju Yunxiu clenched her hands expressionlessly. Before she could even discipline that brat, some idiot forced her to act as a biased referee.

How dare they laugh at Minghe...

With such lousy flute skills, he calls himself the best? He should be dragged out and played to death!

Qing Cha looked up at her master's face, which was turning pale and then red, and silently recited the Rebirth Mantra for her uncle in advance.

The concert outside was still going on, and Qiu Niu didn't call for it to stop. In its heart, listening to a good concert was more important than anything else. Yazi didn't leave; it sat to the side listening, planning to pull Qiu Niu aside to talk as soon as things were over.

Qin Yi had already been invited behind the screen by the "High Minister".

Yu Shang followed beside her, An'an cautiously shrank behind her. In front of them sat her Senior Sister behind the guqin, with Qing Cha standing next to Senior Sister.

Qin Yi was wiping cold sweat from his right hand. His left hand was being held by Yu Shang; pulling it away seemed wrong, but keeping it also seemed wrong, leaving him incredibly awkward. Meanwhile, Yu Shang and Ju Yunxiu were glaring at each other, their atmosphere seemingly frozen.

Qing Cha waved to her martial uncle, intending to greet him, but was immediately smacked on the head by her master. So the wave turned into a fist-waving, menacing gesture as she stood before... An'an.

She could tell this one was easy to bully. Since her master wanted to tear apart that bird, the clever Qing Cha decided to take on this clam instead.

The two sides are evenly matched!

An'an patted Qing Cha's head.

Grinning from drinking Qing Cha.

An'an handed over a pearl.

I'll accept the Qing Cha. I'll also give An'an a cup of lemon tea.

An'an took the tea, and the two turned around and sat on a chair to the side, watching the show while holding their teacups.

A consensus on peace was reached.

The dog jumped out and stretched out its short paws towards Qing Cha.

Qing Cha stared at the dog curiously for a while, then touched its bow tie.

The dog continued to reach out.

Qing Cha handed over another cup of tea.

The dog drank it with great satisfaction.

From beginning to end, the three of them didn't dare to say a word, because the atmosphere over there was too terrifying, and it was better not to get themselves into trouble.

Ju Yunxiu finally spoke her first words, "So, what you're saying from your explanation is that you weren't actually soaking that clam, but this bird?"

"..." This explanation doesn't seem wrong... Qin Yi found that he had no explanation to give.

Ju Yunxiu sighed, "You've traveled thousands of miles, crossed oceans, not to seek the Dao, but to chase after a bird?"

Yu Shang roared in fury, "Feathered people are not birds!"

It looked like dark clouds were gathering overhead.

Qin Yi wanted to cry.

This concert has been in preparation for a long time. We were worried that others would cause trouble, and we were also worried that Qiu Niu would be dissatisfied. An'an and I spent so many days working on it, just in case the concert went wrong.

Unexpectedly, there was no boss, and none of the difficulties and dangers I had imagined existed... but I was still going to be killed.

Unexpectedly, the final boss turned out to be her own Senior Sister, and the greatest danger was the chaotic battlefield.
