The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 78

It was almost time, and Yujue was about to begin his performance. Rufeng and the others listened intently, holding their breath.

This time, Yujue chose the guqin. Rufeng closed his eyes and felt the magnificent music. Upon hearing the first note, Rufeng vaguely sensed a chilling aura. Just as he was about to listen carefully, he found that the music had turned gentle, like a light nocturne in the quiet night. Just as Rufeng was feeling sleepy, the music suddenly changed, becoming strong and powerful, as if he could see the scene before him: surging waves, splashing spray; seabirds flying, their cries filling the air; lush forests and trees, like entering a fairyland.

Ru Feng felt a slight tremor in his heart, and a wonderful feeling arose spontaneously. He heard the harmonious and beautiful music of nature in his ears, and felt an unusual familiarity in his heart.

Yes! That's right! Ru Feng suddenly opened her eyes. This piece of music seemed to be one that Mu Wenchen had played before! Although there were some differences, and although Ru Feng knew almost nothing about music, the piece in front of her was very similar to one that Mu Wenchen often played, and she felt the same way.

Thinking of this, Ru Feng really wanted to see Mu Wenchen's expression. Sigh, she wished she could learn how to use telepathy immediately so she could hear Mu Wenchen's opinion.

There were other performances from the Three Kingdoms period, but clearly, after listening to Yu Jue's music, everyone else was distracted, and in the end, Yu Jue won without a doubt.

Ru Feng stared at Yu Jue with a complicated expression. Yu Jue was puzzled and looked at Ru Feng: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ru Feng thought for a moment and could only shake her head: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect Brother Jue to be so talented, he can actually play such a beautiful tune."

Yu Jue smiled slightly and said calmly, "It was just random playing."

Ru Feng couldn't understand the emotions flashing in his eyes, so she had no choice but to stop talking and obediently watch Yun Tianze compete against others.

But to be honest, Ru Feng had no interest in Go at all, so she fell asleep while waiting.

Yujue and Yuxuan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness. So they silently surrounded Rufeng, letting her lean against one of their shoulders.

Yu Jue slightly adjusted his head, which resembled a gentle breeze, and looked around. Seeing that no one had noticed them, he relaxed. He stared expressionlessly at Yun Tianze on the stage, reflecting on his performance earlier. Choosing that piece of music must have been a bit risky, right? He hoped "he" wouldn't question him.

Yu Xuan watched as Ru Feng unconsciously moved closer to her brother, and then looked at the tender expression on her brother's face as he looked at Ru Feng. A pang of sadness welled up in her heart. Would this scene ever happen again? And would she have to continue watching as an observer forever?

Ru Feng was woken up by the noise. The scene was chaotic. Ru Feng quickly looked for Yu Xuan and Yu Jue in front of him and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Yu Jue looked at him, brushed the hair from Ru Feng's forehead, and said, "Yun Tianze has fainted."

"What?" Ru Feng exclaimed, looking at him in surprise, and asked, "Where is he now?"

Yu Jue looked at a certain point and said, "He has already been sent away, so Rui won't be able to see him for the time being."

Ru Feng asked worriedly, "How could he faint? Is the sun too strong?"

Yu Jue suppressed the sadness welling up inside him and comforted him, "He should be fine. He just played chess for too long, so he fainted because he was exhausted."

Ru Feng then realized that he had slept for five hours. It must have taken a really long time to play chess. No wonder Yun Tianze was exhausted, after all, it was very physically demanding.

Yu Xuan said calmly from the side, "Spring Vine Kingdom won."

Ru Feng pouted, unconvinced: "But we still won one more game than them."

Yu Xuan glanced casually at Ru Feng's flushed face as she slept, and continued, "Who knows if Luo Lin Academy will win? It seems that Chun Teng Kingdom has big ambitions this time, having made so much progress."

Yu Jue remained indifferent, helping Ru Feng up and saying, "Let's go back. The party's over, there's nothing more for us to do."

Ru Feng, overjoyed, looked up at Yu Jue expectantly: "Brother Jue, is it really impossible for us to go see Yun Tianze?"

Yu Jue's eyes were completely black, but his star-like pupils flickered as he said, "Perhaps, after all, his identity is special." He emphasized the last two words.

So Ru Feng had no choice but to follow Yu Xuan and Yu Jue to their dormitory in disappointment.

-------

Yu Jue and Yu Xuan were standing in Yun Tianze's room.

“Brother, are you ready? We’ve already slid down the escape route.” Yu Xuan looked at Yu Jue with determination.

Yu Jue finally sighed, "We've come this far, even if we don't want to, there's no turning back. Let's go, it's getting dark."

"Brother, don't worry, I've arranged everything." Yu Xuan patted Yu Jue's shoulder, his eyes shining with confidence.

Yu Jue nodded, and just as he was about to say something, Yu Xuan said again, "Should we take Ru Feng away?"

Yu Jue immediately objected: "What could he possibly do?"

Yu Xuan looked at Yu Jue and said, "Brother, are you still upset?" She glanced around and continued, "Last time, Ru Feng saved me. His martial arts are incredibly high. Surprisingly, he easily dealt with three top-notch masters in a row. With him around, we have a much better chance of winning."

Yu Jue frowned again: "No, it's too dangerous."

Yu Xuan smiled bitterly: "Brother, you've never been so soft-hearted to anyone except Ru Feng." He stared intently into Yu Jue's eyes and said, "Only Ru Feng. Besides, he's a man, and given how many times we've been to their house, brother, he's already been dragged into this, and now he can't extricate himself."

Yu Xuan wanted to add another reason, but he believed that his brother had already figured it out, so it didn't matter whether he said it or not. Everyone already knew, they just hadn't said it out loud.

Yu Jue finally relented, saying, "Guarantee his safety."

Yu Xuan was silent for a while before saying, "I feel the same way as you; I don't want anything to happen to him either."

*******

Ru Feng returned to her dormitory alone, feeling dejected. She collapsed onto her bed, not even wanting to eat. Just as she was worrying about how to see Yun Tianze, she noticed Yu Jue and Yu Xuan pushing open the door and entering.

Yu Xuan pulled Ru Feng up and said, "Ru Feng, I have something to tell you."

Ru Feng had never seen Yu Xuan so serious and focused, so she had no choice but to put away her dejected expression and look at him intently as well.

"Come with us somewhere tonight."

Ru Feng remained silent, knowing she couldn't refuse, so she could only nod silently, a sense of unease flashing through her heart.

Yu Jue looked at Ru Feng and said, "Be careful."

Ru Feng forced a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Jue, my martial arts are so high, I can definitely protect myself, and I can also protect Yu Xuan."

Yu Xuan glared at him: "There will be someone to protect me then, don't worry. Also, my martial arts skills aren't actually that bad." He couldn't help but argue.
