Unforgettable Emperor's Favor - Chapter 42 Part 4

42. A Sinking Boat (4)

Requested by: ??????

Yu Qingjia had already stood up, and as she walked down her seat, a woman next to her gently tugged at her arm.

Now that Yu Qingya has won a complete victory, it is obviously time for her to become arrogant.

Even Zhou Suzhi, who was known as the ‘Little Zither Saint‘, was no match for her, so if the next person went up there, wouldn’t it be a waste of time for them to become her stepping stone?

Yu Qingjia smiled at this kind-hearted young miss, yet she still slowly and firmly pulled away from the other party’s hand,

“Just in time, I also want to learn a lesson from you.”

Yu Qingjia used ‘You’ instead of ‘Fourth sister’.

She knew that the person she was going to compete with was not Yu Qingya, nor a person.

The woman in red and Zhou Suzhi were both defeated one after another, and the system was in great shape at the moment.

If Yu Qingjia loses this battle against the system, all her efforts will be turned into a stepping stone to help Yu Qingya make a name for herself, and even after that, she will always be stepped on by her from then on.

She will then forever be shrouded by Yu Qingya’s shadow.

But Yu Qingya just used Madam Yu to provoke her, how could she tolerate it?

Yu Qingjia was enraged, and a sense of pride was born in her heart immediately.

She had known and loved the zither ever since she could read and write, and she had practiced it, day and night for so many years without any hindrance.

Is her ten years of hard work no better than a machine that can only analyze and copy?

After seeing Yu Qingjia’s insistence, the woman sighed and had to let go of her hand.

Yu Qingjia walked out of the banquet hall and blended into the night.

The black and red clothes collided on her body, almost burning up in the darkness of the night, and just her back figure alone made everyone’s heart and soul tremble.

Murong Xu watched Yu Qingjia’s movements with great interest, and when she finally walked out of the range of the path illuminated by lights, Murong Xu stood up for the first time and walked towards the window.

When they saw Prince Yingchuan moving towards their direction, the crowd near the window immediately scattered.

They then vacated an open area for him to sit in.

During the previous two performances, Murong Xu was too lazy to even move from his top seat.

He was simply smiling at the interesting show, but now, Prince Yingchuan himself actually walked towards the window to personally watch the whole competition unfold.

There was silence inside and outside the banquet hall, and everyone was holding their breath.

They were silently anticipating for the action to unfold at the water pavilion.

Yu Qingjia walked towards the water pavilion just in time to meet Zhou Suzhi coming out with the zither in her arms.

Zhou Suzhi’s complexion was very bad, and when she saw her, she was surprised and said in a startled tone,

“Why did you come over?”

After saying that, Zhou Suzhi immediately realized,

“Did you come to compete against Yu Qingya?”

“That’s right.”

Zhou Suzhi had a complicated expression on her face.

She held Yu Qingjia’s hand, not knowing what to say for a while.

Yu Qingjia shook her hand vigorously, and smiled at her,

“I’m fine. It’s cold outside. Look, your hands are already cold from the wind, you can go back first!”

Zhou Suzhi wanted to comfort and encourage her, and Yu Qingjia saw her sincere gaze, she was hesitating a little, so she tried to appease her,

“I know what I’m doing, and I really appreciate your concern. Don’t worry, just go back and warm your hands first.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Suzhi also calmed down under the influence of Yu Qingjia’s calm attitude.

She held Yu Qingjia’s palm with both hands, and said firmly,

“I believe in you, and I will be waiting for your good news inside the hall.”

Yu Qingjia nodded with a smile, and after sending Zhou Suzhi away, Yin Zhu held her zither and said in a weak voice,

“Sixth Miss…”

Yu Qingjia was actually not as confident as she showed on the surface, after seeing that no one was around, she also sighed in a sad manner,

“Stop talking, just set up the zither first.”

In fact, she also felt panicked, but things have already reached to this point, what can she do?

She could only go down and bite the bullet.

Yu Qingjia sat down and pressed her fingers on the strings of the zither.

She was trying to think of a tune that would be difficult for the system to beat.

The woman In red, played a faster rhythm, but the system was not the same as an ordinary person, it can call data, and listen to it repeatedly.

She may have played faster, but can she be faster than the calculating power of the system?

Zhou Suzhi took an inspiration from her predecessor, and abandoned the faster rhythm to a slower one, and chose an ethereal and elegant type of music, but the system was still able to analyze the spectrum of sounds.

Both fast and slow rhythms failed, then what other options does she have?

The wind was already cool in the autumn night, and the bamboo curtains around the room collided back and forth in the night breeze.

It emitted a unique fragrance coming from the bamboo.

Yu Qingjia was frowning and pondering about it for a while, when she suddenly heard a soft pop in her ear, then the entire half of the pavilion went dark.

The candle on the southeast corner of the water pavilion was blown out by the wind, Yu Qingjia looked up following the movement and was about to call Yin Zhu over to re-ignite the candle when her hand was suddenly pressed by another force.

“Don’t talk, it’s me.”
