Chapter 97: Qilin, Take Your Place!

Li Guanyi did not expect that it wasn't Xue Shuangtao playing the zither. Seeing Xue Shuangtao's smug expression, he found himself momentarily at a loss for words. After a moment's thought, he gently clapped his hands and said candidly:

"Very beautiful."

Xue Shuangtao had planned to "startle" Li Guanyi, but his frank and straightforward response left her somewhat embarrassed. She raised her fingers and twirled a lock of hair around her temple, begrudgingly saying, "Well, you do have a way with words."

"But is that all a great talent like yourself can say, just those two words?"

Li Guanyi thought for a moment and replied:

"Those lines of poetry I heard during my travels, they were not composed by me."

"Moreover, lines of verse often involve embellishments and techniques."

"Compared to that, I still feel these two words better express my feelings."

Xue Shuangtao's cheeks flushed.
