Chapter 270: An Alluring Dance, Let Snow Maiden Go and See!
“Looking for me? It seems I don’t know you.”
Tian Meng furrowed his brows tightly, not recalling any blind man he knew.
Li Mo smiled and said, “Indeed, we don’t know each other. But I’ve heard that the Farmer Clan’s Hall Lord Tian Meng is quite formidable, no less than Sheng Qi. I came to see for myself, and yes, you’re quite impressive.”
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
It seemed he really just came to take a look at the Farmer Clan’s Hall Lord.
Tian Meng and Tian Zhong looked at each other, utterly confused.
“Is the National Advisor interested in that Tian Meng? Should I call him up to accompany the National Advisor for a few drinks?”
In the private room on the second floor, Yan Chun suddenly asked after sitting down.
Li Mo lifted the wine that Fei Yan poured for him, and his hand suddenly trembled slightly when he heard the words.
He shook his head and said, “Not interested.”
I’m straight, really not interested in men.
Going up to ask was just to avoid killing the wrong person.
Moon Goddess seemed absent-minded beside him.
She originally thought that Li Mo was going to help her vent her anger, but unexpectedly, he just went up to ask and then left.
Had she known this, she might as well have taken action herself.
Hearing Li Mo say this, Lord Yan Chun didn’t inquire further.
Zheng~
Just then, the sound of a zither suddenly resonated from downstairs.
Simultaneously, the noisy discussions around the viewing platform ceased.
“Haha, it has started!”
Lord Yan Chun stood up happily, clapping his hands, and looked down toward the viewing platform.
The brightly lit Feixue Pavilion suddenly dimmed.
Meanwhile, the surrounding sound of the zither’s notes started tinkling.
“This zither sound is a bit strange.”
Fei Yan, who understood music theory, spoke softly after listening for a while.
“It sounds like continuous flowing water, but there is chaos within the stability.”
Moon Goddess, not to be outdone, also expressed her understanding.
Li Mo remarked in response, “Falling flowers carry intent, but flowing water is heartless. When one seeks but cannot obtain, the mind of the zither player is disturbed, and so is the zither sound.”
Fei Yan glanced over curiously and asked, “Husband, do you know the reason?”
Li Mo smiled and said, “This zither player is named Gao Jianli, he is a zither master at Feixue Pavilion with considerable musical talent, just responsible for playing while the Snow Maiden performs.”
Fei Yan and Moon Goddess were both intelligent.
Hearing his words, they quickly understood the reason behind it:
Fei Yan gently nodded and said, “So that’s it, Gao Jianli admires Snow Maiden, but she has no feelings for him.”
Lord Yan Chun, standing at the edge of the viewing platform, sneered when he heard this.
Full of disdain, he said, “A mere zither player aspiring for the unattainable, how foolishly wishful.”
After saying this, he turned to the three who hadn’t moved and asked, “It’s about to begin, won’t the national advisor come over to watch?”
He was curious about how Li Mo managed to see without using his eyes.
But regardless, could sitting in a room really allow him to see?
Li Mo shook his head and declined, “With a heart, it doesn’t matter if you’re sitting or standing, it’s the same.”
Without having to go, he could sense the entire Feixue Pavilion.
Fei Yan and Moon Goddess, being women, were not much interested anyway.
Thus, the three of them sat there unmoved.
Lord Yan Chun couldn’t understand.
If you can’t understand, so be it.
The zither sound continued for a long time, then suddenly a weak candlelight lit up the previously dim Feixue Pavilion.
Immediately afterward, candles like a spreading fire dragon lit up around the central Feixue platform.
Flames danced at the edge of the mirror-like stage, like red spirits performing a dance.
A dazzling white light suddenly shone from the roof, lighting up the entire stage as if it was daytime.
The temperature inside the Feixue Pavilion dropped sharply.
White snowflakes fluttered down, and a white silk ribbon hung from above.
A woman in a light blue dance dress grasped the white silk and descended like a light petal from the sky.
With waist-length, glossy silver-white hair, she was extraordinarily eye-catching.
Her figure was graceful, her skin whiter than snow.
Her slender waist that could be grasped with hand was as delicate as a willow.
Amidst the dancing snowflakes, she slowly descended as if a fairy had graced the mortal world.
There was deathly silence in Feixue Pavilion.
All eyes were fixed on the stage.
Every face was filled with admiration and awe.
The Snow Maiden stood still, her neck slightly raised, and her long arms spread out like wings.
She looked like a proud swan standing loftily.
Zheng~
The zither sound suddenly resonated.
The Snow Maiden began to dance along.
With light arm movements, her long dancing sleeves seemed dazzling and overwhelming.
With just a light tap of her jade-like feet, she moved with the agility of a swan across the stage.
Still as a statue, but agile as a fleeing rabbit.
Her dance was light and ethereal, like that of a celestial being.
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, or urgent, or leisurely.
Her supple body seemed weightless as she danced gracefully.
She truly embodied the saying “as a swimming dragon, as a surprised swan.”
Her beautiful eyes, reflected by the firelight at the edge of the stage, seemed to ripple like water waves.
Wherever she glanced, hearts would skip a beat.
As the music ended, the dance was enchanting enough to captivate an entire city!
The audience was silent for a long time before erupting into a tsunami-like applause.
Snow Maiden smiled and bowed to the surroundings before stepping down.
It wasn’t until she reached the dressing room backstage that she finally exhaled.
Every time she performed on stage, it was a test for her.
If she messed up, it would be a small embarrassment for herself, but damaging Feixue Pavilion’s reputation would be a big deal.
Fortunately, judging from the reaction just now, this performance was very successful.
Snow Maiden sat in front of the dressing table, in a joyful mood.
After resting for a moment, she pinched her orchid fingers, ready to remove the accessories from her head.
But at that moment, a maid rushed in frantically.
“What’s the matter, running all sweaty, did the sky fall?” Snow Maiden glanced at her in the bronze mirror and joked.
The maid frowned, looking at her and said, “Lord Yan Chun is here.”
Snow Maiden shrugged, “I know, I saw him on the stage just now, he’s not the first time at Feixue Pavilion, no need to make a big deal out of it.”
The maid’s face turned even more unpleasant, saying with a worried expression, “But…he said the master of the house wants you to go over, saying there’s an important guest who needs to see you.”
“Important guest?” Snow Maiden turned around, blinked, and then suddenly chuckled.
“What does his important guest have to do with me? I’m a dancer, not an attendant. Does this Lord Yan Chun intend to have me accompany him for drinks?” She turned back and continued, “I’m not going.”
Lord Yan Chun has been trying to court her for a long time.
If it weren’t for her reputation and the fact that she had suitors among the nobility, he would have probably forced her into a relationship long ago.
Lord Yan Chun is not a good man, it’s best to avoid him as much as possible.
The maid still stood there motionless, with a distressed look on her face, “Lord Yan Chun also said…if you refuse to go, Feixue Pavilion will no longer need to open.”
Snow Maiden’s expression changed slightly, and her eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow.
Feixue Pavilion can operate in Yan State without fear of trouble, naturally because it has a backer.
And this backer is the crown prince of Yan State, Dan.
Although later on, Yan Dan went to Qin State as a hostage, he is still the heir to the throne on the surface.
So even Lord Yan Chun, with his power, had to restrain himself here.
But not long ago, there was news from Yan State.
Yan Dan, who was in Qin State as a hostage, escaped for no reason, causing the king of Yan to be furious and deposed the crown prince to vent his anger on Qin State.
And after fleeing, Yan Dan’s whereabouts were unknown.
So, Feixue Pavilion’s biggest supporter is no longer reliable.
Lord Yan Chun now has no constraints and is acting without hesitation.
If she doesn’t go this time, he probably won’t give up easily.
“Do you know the origin of the guest he mentioned?” Snow Maiden was puzzled as to who could be so important to Lord Yan Chun that he had to make her go and meet them, even resorting to such harsh words.
After contemplating for a while, she finally asked.
There is almost no one in Yan State that could make Lord Yan Chun value them so much.
The maid shook her head and honestly said, “This servant doesn’t know, only that he is blind, extraordinary demeanor, about the same age as the master, and there are two women with him, like fairies, as beautiful as the master.”
Snow Maiden looked at her speechless, “Why do you always compare me to others? Alright, you go back and tell them, I’ll change into proper clothes and go.”
The maid was surprised, “The master agreed?”
Snow Maiden rolled her eyes at her, “The important guest mentioned by Lord Yan Chun is not interested in me. I’ll just go and see to avoid further trouble from him.”
The maid didn’t understand, “How do you know?”
Snow Maiden smiled, “You said he’s blind, how would he know what I look like?”
