My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"yes!"

The expert from the Zhenying Division looked somewhat embarrassed: "If Young Master Jiang doesn't sing, the expert in the pavilion certainly won't sing either!"

"this……"

Jiang Xiaobai's expression flashed with helplessness upon hearing this.

That's right, this is clearly forcing him!

"Jiang Xiaobai..."

At this moment, Xiao Jinxuan's voice rang out: "Your next piece of music won't also be about tender feelings, will it?"

"No...that's not it!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head.

"Then sing!"

Xiao Jinxuan spoke.

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai opened his mouth, but finally sighed helplessly, "Yes!"

As Jiang Xiaobai nodded, the Zhenying Division expert said no more and headed straight for the pavilion in the center of the lake.

After the message was relayed, the expert from the Zhenying Division quickly returned.

Almost the instant he landed, there was a "ding" sound from the direction of the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

The music started again, still "Daughter's Love," and its tenderness spread almost instantly.

Inside the courtyard, silence fell once again.

This time, everyone listened more attentively.

Because this time, the master in the pavilion will not only play the instrument, but also sing.

As the melody began, a sweet, melodious "ah" echoed from the direction of the lake.

hiss!

Jiang Xiaobai felt a chill run down his spine.

Yes, he didn't write the opening chant in the lyrics of "Daughter's Love," but unexpectedly, the other party started chanting it themselves.

And that voice... it's so beautiful!

Most importantly, judging from the voice, the woman in the pavilion should not be too old.

At least, he's not some senior figure.

After the chanting ended, as the melody gradually changed, the sweet voice began to sing along with the music.

"Mandarin ducks swim in pairs, butterflies fly in pairs, the garden is full of spring colors that intoxicate the heart; quietly ask the holy monk, is the daughter beautiful, is the daughter beautiful..."

Jiang Xiaobai gasped again upon hearing this.

That voice is not only clean, but the singing is also extremely beautiful!

Of course, he wasn't the only one; everyone else in the courtyard was also shocked.

Before, they just thought the tune was nice, but now, with this voice, the feeling is completely different.

Heavenly music, this is simply heavenly music!

Li Zhiwei sat beside her, her eyes filled with amazement.

Yes, even though she was a woman herself, she couldn't help but be somewhat lost in thought when she heard this song.

The melody is full of emotion, and the lyrics are full of meaning.

Tang Ningshuang also looked in the direction of the pavilion in the middle of the lake, her expression showing surprise.

Gradually, the music faded away, but the courtyard remained quiet.

Everyone was still in shock.

Even Jiang Xiaobai felt a little unsatisfied.

Now... he understood why Xiao Jinxuan had been so expectant just now.

As Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed in amazement, Xiao Jinxuan slowly came to his senses, his expression full of praise: "Good, good, good!"

Xiao Jinxuan said it three times, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Jiang Xiaobai, your melody and lyrics are truly wonderful!"

"Your Majesty flatters me!"

Jiang Xiaobai coughed lightly.

The items are classics from a previous life, how could they not be good!

"Haha, truly impressive!"

Xiao Jinfeng chuckled heartily twice, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "But Jiang Xiaobai, it's your turn next!"

Upon hearing this, those present finally remembered.

Yes, there's one more song!

Moreover, the following piece was written by Jiang Xiaobai in a very short time.

They were very curious to see how the second piece would go.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai immediately wore a wry smile.

He knew there was no way to avoid it, so he cleared his throat, thought for a moment, and then simply stood up.

Just then, the sound of a zither rang out again from the direction of the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

This time, however, the moment the tune began, everyone's expression changed simultaneously.

Completely different from the previous "Daughter's Love," this zither music carried an indescribable sense of freedom and ease.

It's like a great river suddenly spreading out.

The Zhenying Division guards outside the courtyard, who had been standing ramrod straight, all perked up upon hearing the tune and turned around.

That's right, the moment that tune came out, that江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) vibe instantly burst forth.

The people in the Zhenying Division are almost all people who have roamed the martial arts world.

This piece of music truly resonated with them.

As for Jiang Xiaobai, after listening to the intro, he decided to go all out and started singing along.

"A hearty laugh echoes across the vast ocean, the tides surge on both shores; drifting and sinking with the waves, I remember this day!"

"Heaven laughs, the world's tides surge and fall; only Heaven knows who wins and who loses!"

"The landscape smiles, the mist and rain stretch far, the waves have washed away all traces of the mortal world..."

That's right, what Jiang Xiaobai wrote later was "A Laugh in the Vast Sea".

This piece is brimming with the spirit of the martial arts world, and there is no other like it.

Having already shown tenderness in the first song, he naturally couldn't continue with that in the second.

And the spirit of chivalry and heroism is undoubtedly the most suitable.

Moreover, the woman in the pavilion was a highly skilled person with astonishing internal strength.

Such a person may not only appreciate tenderness, but will also be interested in such unrestrained and bold music.

As it turns out, he made the right bet!

As Jiang Xiaobai began to sing at the top of his lungs, the expressions of everyone present began to change.

Regardless of how well Jiang Xiaobai sang, the melody and lyrics were absolutely amazing!

Just moments ago she was displaying a woman's tenderness, but now she's brimming with the spirit of chivalry.

That's a huge leap!

Tang Ningshuang's eyes also changed noticeably.

She understands this tune.

She could also feel the chivalrous spirit in the music, and for a moment, Tang Ningshuang looked at Jiang Xiaobai with amazement.

Yes, she had to admit, this guy was really talented!

The smile on Li Bingzhang's face never faded.

His son-in-law has brought him one surprise after another!

Jiang Xiaobai has now gone all out.

The voice kept rising, and it didn't matter if it cracked; that's the point—to get that momentum.

And that's why it felt like everyone present was truly witnessing the world of martial arts.

They saw a man in a blue robe, carrying a sword, walking along despite the wind and rain, and he just laughed loudly.

Chen Zhanqiu sat there, his face alternating between pale and flushed.

Damn, this simple tune is so beautiful!

And it's so imposing?

Just how much more is that bastard Jiang Xiaobai hiding?!

As for Jiang Xiaobai, he sang more and more smoothly at this moment, and even his momentum was rising!

The master in the pavilion in the middle of the lake had obviously noticed it as well, and the music of the zither spread out in layers.

This caused everyone in the courtyard to pause in surprise.

These two... one singing, the other playing an instrument, actually got along perfectly!

Especially in the final scene of Jiang Xiaobai, the "la la la la la" sound, accompanied by music, perfectly captures the heroic spirit of the martial arts world.

Finally, as the music subsided, Jiang Xiaobai's voice also faded away.

When it was over, Jiang Xiaobai let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally finished singing!

This time, still no one spoke.

Yes, everyone was still immersed in the heroic spirit they had just felt.

"good!"

A moment later, Xiao Jinfeng was the first to slam his hand on the table, his eyes filled with admiration: "Jiang Xiaobai, I'm completely convinced!"

Indeed, the song "Daughter's Love" that just played was so tender it made my heart tremble!

This song now makes one want to pick up a sword and venture into the martial world!

Jiang Xiaobai coughed lightly, and just as he was about to speak, a voice came from the direction of the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"May I ask, sir, what is the name of this piece of music?"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone present was taken aback.

The sage in the pavilion actually spoke up!
