What was even more unexpected was that the person who could play Emperor’s Song to such a degree was not from Dihong City. The Elf Queen fell into deep thought, her mind drifting back to the days before she became the Elf Queen, when she alone left Xianju Country and encountered that spirited young man on her journey. It was also a zither, its melodious music, became her deepest memory from her maiden days. Unfortunately, she was the Elf Crown Prince, bearing the great responsibility of the Elf Clan of Xianju Country. The young man was the heir of Dihong City; both of them had different missions and after their separation, they went their separate ways. The lifespan of humans is limited, while elves live much longer; while she was in Xianju Country, she heard from Dihong City that he had married, had children, and passed away. Years later, at an elf banquet, she accidentally heard a zither piece played by Divine Wind’s father, which reminded her of the friendship they shared in their youth. "Well, love is indeed misleading; I hope Feng’er will not make the same mistakes," the Elf Queen returned the Thousand-Year-Old Ice Zither to its original owner, partly because she saw that other Elf Nobles were quite dissatisfied with Yun Sheng. Especially Huo Yaoyao from the Fire Elf Clan, her affection for Divine Wind was very apparent. After the birthday banquet, the Elf Nobles did not leave immediately; they still stayed in the Royal Court for a while, and she must be extra cautious during this period. Yun Sheng had no magic to protect herself, perhaps the Thousand-Year-Old Ice Zither would provide her some assistance. After returning to her chambers with the zither, Yun Sheng, tired and sleepy, dozed off on the bed without even managing to put down the zither. It was a quiet night. Divine Wind, slightly tipsy, entered Yun Sheng’s chamber. Although everyone in the Royal Court already regarded Yun Sheng as his woman, deep in his heart, Divine Wind knew that he and Yun Sheng, were still innocent. The Elf Queen had suggested that Divine Wind should first take Yun Sheng as a concubine, but Divine Wind was not willing to just submit to Yun Sheng. Moreover, Yun Sheng’s amnesia has always been a worry for him; he was afraid that one day Yun Sheng might suddenly regain her memory. She still had a lot on her shoulders, family, friends, and the Hunting Corps. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥 Divine Wind carried Yun Sheng to the bed and covered her with a quilt. That zither made him glance sideways. Mother Empress, he... Divine Wind looked at the zither with a complex expression, reminiscing about when Yun Sheng played the zither, completely lost in the music, he fell silent for a moment. "Forget it, it’s just a zither," Divine Wind removed the decoration from Yun Sheng’s forehead, untied her braid, let down her hair, and then quietly left. In the days following the birthday banquet, as the Elf Nobles gradually left, Yun Sheng’s days returned to normal. She did not bring up the incident concerning the zither music at the banquet, and Divine Wind did not ask Yun Sheng when she had learned to play the zither. Both tacitly avoided the topic. Divine Wind continued to teach Yun Sheng the Sealing Demon Arrow Technique as agreed. Yun Sheng quickly mastered the essentials. "Little Sheng’er, take a break for a while," Divine Wind saw Yun Sheng’s rapid progress, within three days, she could already consecutively shoot more than five Sealing Demon Arrows. Yun Sheng still seemed somewhat reluctant, sullenly putting down the arrow. "Divine Wind, so you’re here, shooting arrows with the little beauty," Huo Yu and Huo Yaoyao, the siblings, walked over. Most of the Elf Nobles had already left, only these siblings remained in the Royal Court. "Hmph, all style and no substance," Huo Yaoyao had been trying to persuade Divine Wind to accompany her on her outings, but he always refused, using teaching Yun Sheng the Sealing Demon Arrow as an excuse. It was only with great difficulty that she learned Divine Wind was here teaching Yun Sheng archery, so she persuaded her brother to come and find him. "Divine Wind, you’re wrong to do this. Letting the little beauty practice on immobile targets, she’ll only ever be able to shoot at dead targets for a lifetime. In my opinion, to truly master the Sealing Demon Arrow, one must practice on live targets," Huo Yu, seeing Divine Wind’s displeasure, hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Huo Yu, if there’s nothing important, you and Huo Yaoyao should head back to the Huo Clan Tribe earlier. I’ve heard that it’s been restless near the Huo Clan Tribe these days," Divine Wind could hear the provocation in Huo Yaoyao’s voice, but she was still a guest of the Elf Royal Court, after all, he couldn’t reprimand her – his only option was to send her away. Upon hearing this, Huo Yaoyao bit her lip and raised her eyebrows at Yun Sheng, "Half-blood, dare you compete with me in archery!" "Huo Yaoyao!" Divine Wind became angry. "Divine Wind, you’re being overly protective. She can’t live under your protection forever," Huo Yu didn’t understand why Divine Wind was so protective of this half-blood Elf girl; that wasn’t his usual character. "Divine Wind, they’re right, I want to try using arrows in combat too. Didn’t you say that a true Elf Warrior is one who has been through life-and-death battles? Huo Yaoyao, tell me, how shall we compete?" Yun Sheng also lost her temper, Huo Yaoyao’s hostility was inexplicable. She also understood that Divine Wind’s protection of her had recently attracted a lot of criticism from the Elf Nobles and ministers; she didn’t want to make things difficult for Divine Wind. She wanted to show the Elves that even without Divine Wind’s protection, she could still protect herself. Seeing the determination in Yun Sheng’s eyes, Divine Wind felt a headache coming on. It was only an hour less than a whole day that Divine Wind didn’t revolve around the little beauty. Even when his close friend came by rarely, Divine Wind completely ignored him. Huo Yu admitted that he was jealous, so he had to trip Divine Wind up and get him to prioritize love over friendship. Divine Wind glared resentfully at Huo Yu, who just shrugged, indicating his words were the truth. "It’s simple. You might have heard, our Fire Elf Tribe recently encountered some trouble. A group of an unknown number of Night Charm Clan has taken over the Holy Mountain. The Night Charm Clan is very skilled at Dark Magic, and Dark Magic is exactly the magic we struggle the most against, so we need the Elf’s assistance from the Royal Court to exterminate that group of Night Charm and reclaim our territory. Whoever kills more Night Charm Clan enemies wins," Huo Yaoyao said, which was also the issue Huo Yu was most troubled about lately. "No way, the Night Charm Clan’s stronghold is dangerous, Little Sheng’er doesn’t understand magic, she can’t go in there," Divine Wind originally planned to teach Yun Sheng the Sealing Demon Arrow Technique, and then pay a visit to the Fire Elf Tribe. But Huo Yaoyao couldn’t wait and brought it up first. "Divine Wind, if you are worried, you can protect her closely. It’s a great opportunity," Huo Yu teased. Divine Wind glared at him again. "I don’t see a problem, it’s said that Night Charm are the best at Concealment and flying among Elves, Divine Wind, you know, my vision is very good, and now that I’ve learned the Sealing Demon Arrow Technique, I can use the Arrow Technique to counter the Night Charm’s Dark Magic," although Yun Sheng doesn’t know magic, she had heard that among Dark Mage magics, some are very tricky. No wonder the Fire Elf Tribe is also at their wits’ end. "Then it’s settled, if I lose, both parties have to agree to a condition from the other side," Huo Yaoyao said confidently. Her mastery of the Sealing Demon Arrow Technique was among the top three in the Fire Elf Tribe. She couldn’t believe that her decades of learning Elf Arrow Techniques would lose to someone who had only been practicing arrows for a few days. *Moved, last day for double monthly tickets, sisters, your potential is great, continue to ask, shall we add more to repay*
