Nong Yu's Background

~

The pleasant sound of the zither flowed through his chest like a mountain spring, nourishing his heart, making him feel refreshed and as if he were in a fairyland.

A person, a zither, and an elegant window formed a beautiful and moving picture.

As the melody ended, Nong Yu slowly placed her slender fingers on the strings, but the lingering sound of the zither continued to resonate around the beams.

"Clap clap!"

Wang Shu clapped his hands lightly and praised, "Miss Nong Yu, you played wonderfully!"

There were no exaggerated words of praise, just a concise and direct compliment, without any pretense of elegance.

"Crude!"

Wei Zhuang, who always had a cold face and held Shark Tooth in his arms, glared with disapproval.

"Wow, that was so beautiful!"

Flame Spirit Ji's eyes were red; Nong Yu's zither music reminded her of her childhood.

She remembered the days when she lived with her parents and younger brother.

Nong Yu bowed slightly, her movements elegant, her beautiful eyes sparkling like Yangchun Baixue.

"Is the young master satisfied?"

Zi Nu stepped forward slightly and asked, her every move graceful and charming.

"Naturally satisfied. Miss Nong Yu's zither skills are rare in this world, one could say unparalleled. She has the demeanor of a master, and I imagine she comes from a distinguished family," Wang Shu said.

"The young master can determine that Nong Yu comes from a distinguished family just from her zither music?" Zi Nu asked with a smile, her eyes sparkling.

"Isn't that so?" Wang Shu asked in return, his upright gaze fixed on Zi Nu, open and magnanimous.

"Hehe." Zi Nu did not respond.

"The jade pendant on Miss Nong Yu seems to be made of Fire Rain Agate, a treasure that ordinary women cannot possess," Wang Shu said.

"Young master, it is indeed Fire Rain Agate."

Nong Yu placed one arm on her waist, her jade fingers gently picking up the Fire Rain Agate, her water-like, crystal-clear eyes revealing a look of remembrance.

"This is the only keepsake my father left me!"

Then, Nong Yu put down the Fire Rain Agate jade pendant and sighed softly.

She had been without parents since she was young, and from the time she could remember, she had only had this Fire Rain Agate jade pendant to accompany her.

"In my humble opinion, this jade pendant is one half of a Luan Feng Double Jade, it should be a pair. If you can find the other identical jade pendant, perhaps Miss Nong Yu can find the answer she seeks in her heart," Wang Shu said.

Nong Yu's expression froze slightly. She picked up the jade pendant again and examined it carefully. Sure enough, it seemed as if something was missing from the jade pendant.

In the past, she had only regarded it as a keepsake and had not thought deeply about it.

But today, after Wang Shu's reminder, she suddenly understood, and a glimmer of light appeared on her dark path ahead.

"With the vast sea of people, how long will it take to find a jade pendant? It's better to just give up the thought, lest it only adds to the sorrow," Wei Zhuang said.

Hearing this, the flame that had just ignited in Nong Yu's heart slowly died down again.

Indeed, to find such a jade pendant, made of the same Fire Rain Agate, in the vast sea of people, how difficult would it be?

"Hehe, I think it's not difficult," Wang Shu said, seemingly deliberately targeting Wei Zhuang.

Sure enough, Nong Yu's heart, which had been sinking, was lifted again, and she looked at Wang Shu expectantly.

"First of all, where does Fire Rain Agate come from? There are very few Fire Rain Agate mines in the Central Plains, so that can be ruled out.

As far as I know, this kind of exotic mineral, Fire Rain Agate, is abundant in Baiyue. In Baiyue, Fire Rain Agate is also a precious item, not something ordinary people possess.

Nong Yu is from Han State, not Baiyue, so we can use the process of elimination to remove a large number of people.

Fire Rain Agate is worth a hundred gold, and such spending power is not something ordinary people can afford.

If Nong Yu really wants to find out about her background, she can start from this aspect.

Look for wealthy merchants or officials who have been traveling between Baiyue and Xin Zheng in recent years.

I think with the Purple Orchid Pavilion's intelligence capabilities, it should be easy to find out, right?"

Wang Shu directly pointed out the direction for Nong Yu, who was in a fog.

Before long, she would be able to find her biological parents.

Nong Yu was very excited at this time. Although she had never met her biological parents, she was still persistent in this family affection.

She believed that her parents did not abandon her ruthlessly, but had their own difficulties.

Perhaps somewhere, her parents were also trying their best to find her.

Nong Yu's eyes turned red, and a look of joy appeared on her fair and flawless face, and she said gratefully:

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, hehe, just play a few more songs for me!" Wang Shu said with a smile.

Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang exchanged glances, naturally taking Wang Shu's suggestion to heart.

Finding such a wealthy merchant or official who travels between Baiyue and Xin Zheng is easy for them.

Flame Spirit Ji remained silent, her eyes wandering between Wang Shu and Nong Yu, her pink lips pouting slightly, looking a little unhappy.

As the sun set, a beautiful day was spent in the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

Although he really wanted to stay here overnight and talk about life with the girls in the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

But finding that Little Flame Spirit Ji's expression was becoming more and more profound, Wang Shu decided to leave this paradise-like pleasure ground.

Compared to Xin Zheng in the daytime, Xin Zheng under the sunset was even more lively and prosperous.

The dazzling lights rose slowly, seemingly foreshadowing the arrival of the city that never sleeps.

"Here!"

Wang Shu plucked a sugar-coated haw from behind a vendor and handed it to Flame Spirit Ji.

Flame Spirit Ji happily took it with her hand, stretched out her rosy little mouth and licked it. Her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she stuck out her tongue, saying:

"Master, it's so sour!"

"Is it?" Wang Shu said.

But even though it was sour, Flame Spirit Ji still earnestly enjoyed the wonderful feeling that the sugar-coated haw brought her.

"Master, aren't we going back?" Flame Spirit Ji asked, eating the sugar-coated haw while looking at the direction, feeling puzzled.

"Someone isn't letting us go back." Wang Shu's expression was mysterious, and he glanced behind him, lost in thought.

Flame Spirit Ji was very clever, and she also knew the situation, but she didn't feel a bit timid. On the contrary, she was eager to try.

Wang Shu and Flame Spirit Ji gradually moved away from Xin Zheng, quickly leaving the bustling capital streets and walking to the outskirts of the city, where it was desolate and uninhabited.

After confirming that there was no one around, Wang Shu stopped and said to the air:

"Aren't you coming out yet?"

After he spoke, the surroundings were quiet, and there was still no sound, as if there really was no one there.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, Wang Shu snorted coldly. Powerful True Qi continuously spread from him as the center to the surroundings, like the endless waves in the sea, pounding against the shore.

It shook the leaves, causing them to rustle and tremble, the plants and trees swayed, the gale raged, and the wind howled angrily!

"Rattling!"

At this moment, a crisp sound of chains came from the darkness, and a mass of black gas wandered in the night sky, like a ghost.

Faintly accompanying it was the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling. In the dark shadows, that mass of ghostly energy seemed to turn into a huge Taotie beast.

Flame Spirit Ji subconsciously spread out her palm, and a small pinch of flame appeared in her hand, her face showing a look of vigilance.

Although Master's strength was very strong, she was unwilling to always be protected by Master's wings. She wanted to protect Master in turn!

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a black, ferocious dragon suddenly pierced through the darkness, riding the storm to attack.
