Seriously injured

  Qian Yu Xian looked at this old and young conversation with doubt, what's going on? It seemed to be talking about me, but I completely didn't understand!

  The middle-aged man looked at Qianyu Xian again, his tone different from when he spoke to Yan Yi, no longer gentle:

  "Lass, it seems like you just blew a tune, I'll play with you."

  Qianyu Xian was taken aback, looking around and seemingly finding only herself as the only woman nearby. She furrowed her eyebrows at the middle-aged man:

  "What's the fun? What kind of fun?"

  The middle-aged man looked at Qianyu Xian with a cold gaze, "I'm very interested in the tune you just played, I've decided to listen to it."

  Qian Yu Xian understood, just now he was trying to test me, it seems that he wanted to know why the tune I just blew could make that man tell the truth. However, Qian Yu Xian didn't dare to provoke this middle-aged man, lowering his head and biting his red lips, not wanting to take out the jade flute.

  The middle-aged man looked at Senya Chihiro with his head down and became impatient, his tone even colder:

  "Don't keep me waiting, I'm not in a good mood, bring out the flute."

  Qian Yu Xian weakly raised her head, not daring to meet the middle-aged man's gaze but also fearing that he would think she was disrespecting him and take it out on her. She had no choice but to steel herself and meet his icy stare, swallowing hard as her voice echoed through the cold, empty hall:

  "Playing a new tune requires willpower. I don't know what you want me to do now, so I don't have the willpower to play the flute."

  The middle-aged man lay comfortably in his chair, his eyes coldly fixed on Qian Yu Xian:

  "It doesn't matter, you can try killing me if you have the ability."

  Qian Yu Xian gritted her teeth and clenched her fists to adjust her mindset, swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Her usually lively eyes had lost their sparkle:

  "Alright."

  The middle-aged man's body slightly leaned forward, as if he wanted to get up, looking at Qianyu Xian's tense appearance, the middle-aged man coldly spoke:

  "Don't worry, I'll also take action and won't let you kill me. You should focus on protecting yourself first, don't worry about hurting me."

  Qian Yu Xian took out the Jade Feather Flute, and upon hearing the middle-aged man say that he would make a move, she almost dropped the flute. She bit her red lips nervously, and her bright, watery eyes turned to Yan Yi, who was still smiling with an air of mischief. His dark, piercing gaze was fixed on her.

  Qian Yu Xian raised the jade flute to her rose-red lips, took a deep breath to calm herself, closed her sparkling eyes, and silently recited in her heart: "Since you said you would make a move, please help me counter his attack, I beg of you."

  Thinking of this, Qianyu Xian's hands began to move, and the jade flute blew out a gentle melody. White mist and lily petals gradually appeared around her, swirling around her in a dance.

  The middle-aged man's eyes darkened, his black sleeves fluttered, and a surge of black energy shot towards Qian Yu Xian.

  When the black aura of the middle-aged man hit the white aura surrounding her, Chihiro Sen felt her hand movements slowing down and the melody becoming a bit disjointed. Chihiro Sen realized that it was because her willpower was not enough. Chihiro Sen closed her eyes and muttered to herself, "Please protect me, protect me."

  As Senya muttered to herself, she felt her hands start moving on their own, pressing the small holes on the jade flute, and the melody no longer had that abrupt, stiff feeling.

  A middle-aged man lay on the chair, watching Qian Yu Xian's every move. When he heard that the Jade Feather Melody blown by Qian Yu Xian no longer had the abrupt and stiff feeling of being interrupted by his own breath at the beginning, he opened his mouth in a cold tone:

  "It's indeed necessary to rely on willpower to play this tune with this flute. Wonderful! Lass, let me counterattack."

  The middle-aged man's hand moved again, and a black air current that was even faster than before shot towards Qianyu Xian.

  Sen just tried to strengthen her will, but was suddenly blown away. The white aura and lily flower petals surrounding her also disappeared in an instant as she was blown away.

  Qian Yu Xian was not simply blown away this time, unlike when she tried to get that man to tell the truth and got counterattacked. The previous time she was blown away was because she wanted that man to tell the truth but he ended up committing suicide instead. Qian Yu Xian's first use of the Jade Feather Flute was unskilled, which is why she got counterattacked and blown back.

  This time she was knocked flying because she was hit by the middle-aged man's black aura, her own will was not enough to successfully block the middle-aged man's attack and was knocked flying by his black aura.

  Qianyu Xian was struck and flew backward, crashing into a pillar in the great hall, where he fainted.
