Chapter 586: Drinking Spiritual Fruit Tea in the "Listening Room"

As soon as you step into Shenxie Pavilion, the melodious music instantly lingers in your ears.

Ajing looked up and saw Zhili and Zhiyuki playing the music together attentively.

The violin in Zhili's hand has smooth lines, and her slender fingers dance nimbly on the strings, playing a melody that is sometimes like a gurgling stream and sometimes like a breeze in the forest; Zhixue holds a bamboo flute in her hand, placing it to her lips, playing an ethereal and melodious tune, the sound of the flute and the violin interweaving with each other, harmonious and beautiful.

Ajing was looking forward to immersing himself in this wonderful musical atmosphere, but when he looked around, he couldn't help but be startled.

The layout of Shenxie Pavilion was completely different from what she remembered, and it had lost all of its former splendor and luxury.

Now all she sees are simple lines, elegant colors, and an overall clear and pure style, as if she is in a completely new space. This makes her feel as if the Shenxie Pavilion in front of her is no longer the familiar place it once was.

Before she could recover and take a closer look, Ajing seemed to be suddenly startled by something, and suddenly pulled Xiang Zhu back out the door.

Standing outside Shenxie Pavilion, she looked up at the plaque and saw the three words "Tingzuoshi" clearly written on it, which made her even more confused. Thinking back to Zhili and Zhixue in the pavilion, they looked similar to what she remembered, but the feeling was completely different.

Ajing's face was full of confusion, his eyes fixed on Xiang Zhu, his lips moved slightly, as if he was about to utter a series of questions.

However, at this moment, Xiang Zhu smiled at her gently. That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, which instantly made Ajing swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Xiang Zhu slowly closed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and showed an expression of great enjoyment on his face, as if he was completely immersed in the wonderful music played by Zhili and Zhiyuki.

The melody interwoven by the violin and bamboo flute echoed softly in the Shenxie Pavilion, like a gurgling stream, flowing into people's hearts.

But Ajing was totally unable to immerse himself in it like Xiangzhu.

Although the music was extremely beautiful, the doubts in her heart were growing like vines, entangled and making her feel upset.

Her fingers unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and her eyes moved back and forth between Xiangzhu, the interior layout of Shenxie Pavilion, and the pair of Zhili and Zhixue who were playing, her brows were always tightly furrowed.

Ah Jing frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "Maybe it's the War Spirit Clan." Her eyes revealed a hint of certainty, and she added silently in her heart, "It must be those little brats who cleaned up this mess, so they took Shenxie Pavilion back."

Thinking of this, Ajing sighed softly.

She really knew nothing about the details.

During this period, she had thought about the affairs of Shenxie Pavilion countless times, but every time she thought deeply about it, she felt a headache.

I thought the problem of Shenxie Pavilion would be a difficult problem that would require some effort to solve, but I didn't expect it to be solved by itself and recovered.

The corners of Ajing's mouth rose slightly, revealing a relieved smile.

She turned to look at Xiang Zhu, wanting to share this unexpected surprise with him, but found that Xiang Zhu was still immersed in the wonderful music.

So, she turned her gaze back to Shenxie Pavilion, and looking at Zhili and Zhixue who were concentrating on playing, she couldn't help but become more curious about their story.

"I don't know how those little brats did it." Ajing murmured to herself in a low voice, "And Zhili and Zhixue, what do they have to do with this matter?" Although her heart was full of questions, she felt more relieved at this moment. After all, the problem of Shenxie Pavilion had been solved.

Ajing stood there, quietly waiting for Xiang Zhu to come back to his senses from the music, ready to discuss these things with him later and solve the mystery in his heart.

Ajing was immersed in thinking about the changes in Shenxie Pavilion, when he suddenly found that Hua Nuan'er and Mo Banhe were also here, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Hua Nuan'er raised her hand to adjust the sunglasses on her face, slightly opened them to reveal her bright eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "Hey, Ajing, you are here too?" Ajing nodded slightly, his eyes full of surprise, and wondered in his heart: "Why is the city lord here too?" Indeed, this small Shenxie Pavilion, with Hua Nuan'er, the former city lord, and herself, the current city lord, at the same time, is really special. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "a place of honor and glory".

Ajing quickly calmed down and responded politely, "I didn't expect to meet City Lord Hua here, what a coincidence." After that, her eyes swept over Hua Nuan'er and Mo Banhe, trying to find some clues from their expressions and behaviors, wanting to know why they appeared here.

Hua Nuan'er smiled gently and said in a relaxed tone: "I was also free, and I heard that there were new changes in Shenxie Pavilion, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to meet you and Xiang Zhu." She looked at Xiang Zhu beside her and nodded slightly.

Ah Jing's doubts were not completely resolved, but he didn't dare to ask directly. He just smiled and said, "Yes, Shenxie Pavilion has indeed changed a lot. Xiang Zhu and I just arrived and are finding it new and interesting."

At this time, the music of Zhili and Zhixue was still going on in Shenxie Pavilion, but Ajing's mind was all on the two people he met unexpectedly in front of him, curious about what would happen next.

Mo Banhe stood quietly beside Hua Nuan'er with a faint expression on his face, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking. Only occasionally would his eyes linger on Ajing and Xiang Zhu for a moment, as if he was looking at something.

"It's so rare." Hua Nuan'er said as she moved closer to Ajing.

She flipped up the lenses of her sunglasses with swift movements, revealing the transparent frames, and turned her gaze to the dance performance of Zhixue and Zhili.

Although her eyes were focused on the two people, she turned her body to talk to Ajing.

Ah Jing nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, it's rare, it's really rare."

Hua Nuan'er sighed softly and said with emotion: "As women, it is already difficult for us to gain a foothold in Fenghua City. How easy is it to gain a firm foothold?" She paused and continued, "Isn't it? You play well, right?"

Ah Jing quickly responded: "Yes, you play really well, it's not easy."

At this time, a waiter came over lightly and served Ajing a drink.

Ajing took a closer look and found that it was spiritual fruit tea.

She was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but glance at Xiang Zhu.

Xiang Zhu had a smile on his face, but he didn't seem to notice Ajing's surprise. Everything seemed to be under his control.

Ajing was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask more questions at this time.

She gently picked up the cup of spiritual fruit tea, feeling the warmth from the cup, her eyes wandering between Xiang Zhu and Hua Nuan'er.

Hua Nuan'er didn't seem to notice Ajing's abnormality. She was still concentrating on watching Zhixue and Zhili's performance, and uttering a few words of praise from time to time.

Ajing took a sip of the spiritual fruit tea, and the familiar yet slightly strange taste spread in his mouth.

She couldn't help but wonder, was the appearance of this spiritual fruit tea here a coincidence, or was it intentional by Xiang Zhu?

But looking at Xiang Zhu's calm appearance, she couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Therefore, Ajing had to temporarily suppress the doubts in his mind and turned his attention back to the performance in front of him, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"City Lord, there is something I don't understand." Ajing broke the brief silence with confusion in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Hua Nuan'er tilted her head slightly and glanced at Ajing with a hint of curiosity on her face.
