Chapter 492: The Evian Pavilion

Ling Luanluan looked solemn and said with a firm gaze: "I feel that Yun Xuan might be in danger. Really, I may not go back to Zhaoxing Hall. I will live in Evian Hall first." Shousheng immediately said: "Then I will accompany you." Ling Luanluan nodded.

Ling Luanluan continued, "We will probably face a lot of pressure, both from the Chai family and from our Ling family."

Shousheng frowned and said seriously: "No matter how much pressure there is, we must face it together."

Ling Luanluan took a deep breath and said firmly: "Okay, let's find a way to deal with it together." Shousheng patted Ling Luanluan on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, we will solve the problem."

Xiang Zhu said in a serious tone, "No, Yun Xuan can't stay here, you have to go back with us." Ling Luan Luan frowned and was about to open his mouth to explain, but Xiang Zhu interrupted without question, "No buts."

Ajing immediately agreed: "Yes, no buts. Even if you two stay here, Yun Xuan must not put himself in danger. Besides, there is still a great possibility that you will be held hostage by the Chai family, the Ling family, or other forces of the Lan clan." Ajing looked determined, and Xiang Zhu also nodded heavily.

Shousheng hesitated for a moment and tentatively suggested: "Why don't we go back to Zhaoxing Pavilion together first and discuss it slowly?" After hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

Just at this moment, Chai He strode out with a arrogant look on his face and shouted loudly: "No one of you can leave!" His eyes were like torches, sweeping across everyone's faces one by one, full of provocation.

Ling Luan Luan looked disdainful, her eyes slightly raised, staring at Chai He, and said coldly: "Chai He, do you really not recognize who I am?"

A mocking arc instantly appeared on Chaihe's face, and he let out a harsh laugh: "Oh, you are the big traitor of the Greedy Clan! This news has spread all over our land, and you still think that paper can cover up fire?"

Ling Luanluan raised an equally sarcastic smile, but his eyes were as cold as stars, and every word was loud and clear: "Chaihe, I advise you not to get carried away here. I left the Greedy Clan and devoted myself to justice in order to protect the innocent people in this world. Chaihe, don't be stubborn anymore. Turn back as soon as possible, there is still a chance to reform. Otherwise, you will face irreversible consequences."

Chai He curled his lips, his face full of disapproval, and sneered: "Humph, you talk better than singing, do you think you can escape easily?" Ling Luan Luan raised his chin slightly, his posture was straight, his eyes were firm as if they could penetrate all the darkness, and he said loudly: "Since I have chosen this bright path, I am not afraid of any evil spirits. You evil minions of darkness will sooner or later be crushed into dust by the power of justice."

Chai He was so angry that his cheeks bulged, veins popped out on his forehead, and he said viciously through his teeth: "Okay, then we'll see!"

Ling Luanluan looked at the firewood. The confidence and determination in his eyes were like a burning flame, as if to burn away the darkness around him.

Ling Luanluan's palms quickly gathered countless crystal ice cones, shining with light, and she suddenly pushed forward, and in an instant a great chill surged out. The ice cones flew like arrows from a bow towards Chaihe and the stewards behind him, and the air seemed to be frozen wherever they went.

As the ice cones flew, the sky darkened in an instant. Chaihe and the managers behind him were terrified. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and their faces were filled with horror and fear. They subconsciously took several steps back. A manager cried out, "Don't come over here!" Chaihe pretended to be calm and shouted, "Hmph, don't be complacent. Don't think you can leave here easily today!" Xiang Zhu was not afraid at all. He took a step forward and faced Chaihe directly: "Chaihe, you are arrogant. We are not afraid of you."

Chai He snorted coldly and sneered: "Humph, with all your strength, no one can step out of this place today."

Shousheng took down the zither from behind without hesitation, and gently stroked the strings with both hands. In an instant, a sad song sounded. The sound of the zither seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, majestic and heavy, as if it could penetrate the soul and shake every inch of air present.

As soon as Chaihe and the others heard the song, they felt as if their heads were hit by a heavy hammer, and a splitting headache came over them like a surging tide. They hugged their heads tightly with both hands, and the muscles on their faces were twisted in pain. They could only squat on the ground helplessly, emitting bursts of shrill screams.

"Ah! What kind of weird song is this? Stop it!" Chai He widened his eyes, veins bulged on his forehead, and he screamed with all his might, trying to cover up the captivating piano sound, but it was all in vain.

As the sound of the piano became more passionate, the managers beside Chaihe collapsed to the ground one after another, their bodies rolling back and forth uncontrollably, groaning in pain, as if they were being torn apart by countless evil spirits.

Shousheng's face was stern, his eyes were full of determination, his ten fingers were dancing rapidly on the strings, and he was not moved at all. At this moment, he was like a judge who controlled life and death, using the power of music to give the enemy a fatal blow.

Until the screams of Chaihe and the others gradually faded, and they finally lay on the ground, breathless and motionless, with expressions of pain and despair on their faces, Shousheng slowly stopped playing the piano, swept his cold eyes over the people on the ground, and said coldly: "This is the end of your evil deeds!"

Ling Luan Luan was extremely anxious, her beautiful eyes full of worry. She walked quickly to Xiang Zhu and said anxiously: "Xiang Zhu, if we don't quickly subdue them and completely control Evian Pavilion, I'm afraid they will make a fuss about the lives of the maids here or other innocent people!"

Xiang Zhu frowned when he heard this, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his deep eyes. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then slowly said: "I know the seriousness of this matter, but the current situation is complicated and we cannot act rashly."

Chai He was full of disdain, and sneered: "Just you few? Stop dreaming." Chai He was so angry that his eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said: "Then let's see if you have the ability!"

Shou Sheng heard what Ling Luan Luan said, his eyes shone, his slender fingers moved quickly on the strings, and he played a few notes. As soon as these notes were integrated into the melody, the whole sad song instantly turned into a surging sound wave, sweeping towards Chai He and others with a devastating force.

Chaihe and the others had already been tortured by the previous piano music, and their heads were splitting and miserable. When they heard the violent sound waves added by these new notes, they felt as if their heads were about to explode, and an irresistible feeling of dizziness surged over them. Their faces instantly turned as pale as paper, their legs softened, and their bodies shook violently and uncontrollably.

Before they could utter a final scream, their eyes rolled back and they fell backwards like a puppet with its strings cut, and with a few dull thumps, they fainted.

Shousheng slowly stopped playing the zither, looked at Chaihe and the others lying unconscious on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, a cold look of relief appeared on his face, and he whispered to himself, "Now, we can have some peace and quiet for a while."
