“How can….” that be. Ji Liu Xia wanted to retort, but seeing Du Xiao Li’s smiling eyes, she suddenly felt chills

down her back.

“In the first five days, you all just practice on your own. Afterwards, we’ll combine together and practice. That’s

why, big sister Liu Xia, you only have five days time to learn, and moreover have to practice till you’re very familiar

with it.”

“Ah? Five days? Xiao Li, I can’t do it in five days.”Ji Liu Xia frantically shook her head.

“You haven’t even tried yet, how do you know you can’t?” Du Xiao Li sternly looked to Ji Liu Xia, “Giving up

before even trying, then in the future, what else can you expect yourself to accomplish?”

“I…..” Ji Liu Xia felt as if she was smacked on the head. She felt Du Xiao Li’s words were very reasonable, but she

was still uncertain inside. However, she still nodded and said, “I’ll try my best.”

“Since I said five days, then I’ve already taken your problem into consideration.” Du Xiao Li said, “Moreover, this is

a combined performance. The coordination is very important. If the coordination isn’t good, then your performance

will be dragged down. We’re an unit. Each performance all corresponds to another, so that’s why I planned for more

time in the back.”

“En, I understand. I’ll definitely learn earnestly.” Ji Liu Xia promised.

“The three of you can practice together first. Afterwards, once I’ve taught big sister Liu Xia the dance, everyone can

combine together.” Du Xiao Li said.

“Then when I practice, there won’t be any music accompaniment.”

“You can just practice the movements. Afterwards, when big sister Ya Lan isn’t using the pipa, I’ll borrow it and let

you practice to the music.”

“Xiao Li you know how to play the pipa?”

“A little bit.” Du Xiao Li said. In her past life, she’d studied many musical instruments, and pipa was one among

them. Although she’d never gotten an award before, she still played relatively well.

“Then, right now, play this piece for us to hear.”

Du Xiao Li looked to everyone’s expectant gazes and reluctantly nodded. Picking up Fu Ya Lan’s pipa, she sat down

atop the stool and lightly plucked the strings, searching for that feeling from her past life. Once she got familiar with

it, she began playing the piece. That stirred up tune shook the hearts of everyone present.

“As expected, it was this kind of feeling!” Fu Ya Lan understood the pipa the best. As soon as she saw the score, she

just knew, this tune definitely was this kind of feeling!

“Alright, big sister Liu Xia and I will go learn the sword dance first.” Du Xiao Li finished playing and got up,

handing the pipa back to Fu Ya Lan. Afterwards, she took Ji Liu Xia to a separate room and began to teach her the

sword dance.

“Actually, the most impressive among us is Xiao Li. To be able to marry her really is my fifth brother’s good

fortune.” Han Ming Xiang said with a sigh.

Meng Jiang Zhuo and Fu Ya Lan also nodded in agreement. Although when Du Xiao Li entered the capital, she was

rumored to not be good at anything, she still came out and refuted the rumors. That was just because she was lowkey. Her medical skills were superb. She was also very familiar with music, and from the looks of it, she probably

knows more than just the pipa. She also knows how to dance and how to make good food. And to be able to possess

the wolf park and this estate meant that she knew how to earn money. Most importantly, she was only thirteen!

“Hehe, let’s began too. We can’t fall behind them!” Meng Jiang Zhuo said

Thus, the three of them began discussing their first portion’s tune and dance.

In the first few days, Du Xiao Li spent the entire time teaching Ji Liu Xia the sword dance. Have to say, as long as Ji

Liu Xia was holding the sword, her entire person just came to life. An entire tune length of sword dance, she learned

very quickly, and it was much better than antic.i.p.ated.

Du Xiao Li sometimes would also go over to check on Meng Jiang Zhuo and the other’s situation. Watching her

dance, she can’t help but praise.

And when everyone was taking a break, Du Xiao Li would also take everyone outside for a stroll. Once the first five

days past, Du Xiao Li let Xia Yuan and them go into town to fetch the props Blacksmith w.a.n.g forged. Afterwards,

everyone thus began practicing together. In the beginning, everyone was still somewhat unaccustomed and often

made mistakes in coordination. After a day’s grinding, they were already able to perform the entire thing.

“How is it? This result’s not bad right?”

Du Xiao Li and them watched Ji Liu Xia and Fu Ya Lan perform, getting infected by the grandeur that was being

expressed.

“Never thought that Liu Xia could dance the sword dance this well!” Meng Jiang Zhuo happily said as she looked to

brilliantly performing Ji Liu Xia, who was holding the prop sword.

“Right. As expected, she was born for the sword!”

After Ji Liu Xia finished dancing, the pipa sound gradually faded away. To the side, Han Ming Xiang began playing

the xiao flute, letting the entire atmosphere completely change into another tone. Following which, the zither

sounded, seemingly carrying some sweetness amidst the melancholy. Matched with Meng Jiang Zhuo’s dance, it

made Ji Liu Xia, who’d retreated to the side, stare in awe.

“Haha, I can already imagine the others’ expressions when they see this performance of ours!”

After completely dancing through this performance once more, everyone all had an excited look on their face.

‘Clap, clap, clap.’

A burst of applause sounded from the trees. Everyone lifted their heads to look, discovering someone on top of the

persimmon tree.

“Big brother Luo Qi, when did you come?” Du Xiao Li

This morning, Du Xiao Li saw that the sun wasn’t too big, and thus brought Ji Liu Xia and them to the persimmon

orchard to practice. Unexpectedly, she got too into it and didn’t even notice that someone appeared in the tree.

“Halfway through the first dance. Not just me, someone else came too.” Luo Qi jumped down from the tree and

landed by Du Xiao Li’s side.”Who else?” Du Xiao Li asked.

Without needing Luo Qi to reply, a few others already walked in from outside the orchard. It was precisely a fully

dressed in black Han Ming Yi, and Leng Yi and Leng Er.

“See, him.” Luo Qi looked to Han Ming Yi and said.

“Greetings your Highness Ding w.a.n.g.” Meng Jiang Zhuo and them all bowed towards Han Ming Yi.

“You’re excused.” Han Ming Yi faintly said, his line of sight on Du Xiao Li the entire time.

“Fifth brother, why are you here?” Han Min Xiang never thought that Han Ming Yi would come here.
