Zither Emperor Chapter 217 Chapter 62 The Strongest Heart Part 1_1

217: Chapter 62: The Strongest Heart (Part 1)_1 217: Chapter 62: The Strongest Heart (Part 1)_1 She was a strikingly beautiful woman, and calling her peerless was by no means an overstatement.

Her fair, lovely face radiated a soft glow, with a small, straight nose, a gracefully long and exquisite neck, and rosy, alluring lips.

Her features, as if sculpted by the gods themselves, made her look like a goddess who had descended to the mortal realm.

Her slender figure was tall and upright, but what was most unusual were the pointed ears that emerged from her damp hair, setting her apart from the rest.

A slightly strange smile played on her lips as she stared intently into Ye Yinzhu’s eyes.

Upon first glance, Ye Yinzhu found this woman eerily familiar, but he couldn’t quite recall where he had seen her before.

It wasn’t until he noticed her pointed ears that he was utterly shaken.

This woman who had appeared so suddenly was none other than An Qi, who had once showed up at Floating Orchid Villa and nearly cost him his life.

Her identity was extremely special—not only was she Sister Anya’s sister, but she was also the Elf Queen!

Seeing her appearance, Ye Yinzhu’s heart sank immediately.

Almost instinctively, he took a step back to stand in front of Xiang Luan and Haiyang.

“Why are you here?”

An Qi did not e closer.

The smile on her face seemed to grow more intense as she gently gathered her damp bangs away from her forehead, “Why can’t I be here if you can bring girls to enjoy the hot springs?”

Xiang Luan leaned in close to Ye Yinzhu and asked in a low voice, “Who is she?”

Ye Yinzhu did not answer.

He did not even dare to take his eyes off An Qi; he vividly remembered what kind of power An Qi possessed!

Back then, it was only with the help of his zither music that Anya had barely managed to drive An Qi away.

Now that she had reappeared, the situation was clearly not going to end well.

Eighth Rank Zi level, like astronomical figures in terms of money, weighed on Ye Yinzhu’s heart like a heavy mountain.

“Where is Sura?” Ye Yinzhu asked sternly.

An Qi smiled slightly and raised her left hand.

With a swoosh, a figure emerged from the water—it was Sura.

At this moment, his face was pale, his eyes closed tightly, as if he had already passed out.

“Sura,” Ye Yinzhu called out tentatively, but Sura showed no reaction.

A faint purple glow lit up around An Qi’s body, revealing the depth of her power to Haiyang and Xiang Luan, who were seeing her for the first time.

It was as if an invisible hand was leading Sura to her side.

“He’s fine, at least for now.

I thought you were my dear sister’s little lover at first.

Now it seems you are really quite the playboy, bringing three women to the hot springs at once.

I truly feel it is unfair for my sister!”

Ye Yinzhu was very nervous, so at this moment, he did not bother to discern the difference between three and two, but just stared intently at An Qi.

“What do you want?”

An Qi smiled radiantly, adding a bit more charm to her demeanor.

However, interwoven with her charm was an element of bewitching allure, “What do you think I want?

My adorable sister has disappeared, and as her sister, I must be concerned about her whereabouts.

I think you would know.

I may not care if you are fickle—that’s for Anya to deal with personally.

But I must find my sister first, right?”

Ye Yinzhu’s expression changed slightly; he understood the purpose of An Qi’s visit—to find out Anya’s whereabouts from him.

He could not tell her; Sister Anya had changed countless hiding places to avoid her.

Having finally gone to Qin City, if An Qi found out about it, Anya would likely never have a day’s peace.

“I don’t know where Sister Anya has gone,” said Ye Yinzhu coldly.

An Qi did not get angry, “You don’t know?

But I remember Anya thinks highly of you!

I suppose even if she left, she wouldn’t leave without telling you, right?”

Ye Yinzhu tried to calm himself down, “I really don’t know.

I’m just a Divine Music Master who plays the zither for Sister Anya.

What can you expect me to know?”

An Qi’s eyes flickered, and she grabbed Sura’s neck with one hand, snorting coldly, “Kid, I don’t have time to waste with you.

A mere acquaintance with Anya?

If that’s true, would she have chased after me relentlessly to save you last time at Floating Orchid Villa?

You should know she’s always avoided me like the plague.

I’ll give you one last chance, tell me her whereabouts.

Otherwise, I’ll kill these three friends of yours first and then torment you slowly.”

Watching as Sura turned even paler in her clutches, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but grow very anxious, “Don’t hurt Sura.”

A hint of a smile flashed through An Qi’s eyes, and she thought to herself, Kid, you’re still too green.

I tested you and immediately found out you have more than just a casual relationship with these girls.

After being driven away by Anya and Ye Yinzhu last time, An Qi went into hiding to cultivate in secret and came back as soon as her strength was restored.

However, when she returned to Milan City, the Floating Orchid Villa was already empty without a trace of Anya.

The giant Life ancient tree was also gone; it was then that An Qi realized she had been fooled by Anya.

That tree was unmistakably the Life seed left behind by her mother, the previous Elf Queen, and Anya!

In a fury, she searched around Milan City for a long time, but not a single clue about Anya’s whereabouts emerged.

Nobody knew where Anya had gone.

It was at that time she suddenly thought of Ye Yinzhu, realizing that as a Divine Music Master, she could find the Milan Magic Martial Academy just outside Milan City.

Ye Yinzhu was quite famous in the Milan Magic Martial Academy; it didn’t take much effort for her to locate the Divine Music Department where he was.

Unfortunately, by that time, Ye Yinzhu had already left for Silver Dragon City.

After waiting desperately for a month, Ye Yinzhu finally returned.

However, An Qi didn’t dare to act rashly within the Magic Martial Arts Academy.

After all, it was the Continent’s number one academy and one of the most important places of the Milan Empire.

Not only did it boast numerous powerful teachers, but Principal Ferguson also made her wary.

Thus, after Ye Yinzhu returned, she had been waiting for the right opportunity.

Today, as soon as Ye Yinzhu and his group left the academy, she had followed them.

After arriving at this Holy Spring, she knew this was the place to make her move.

That’s why she managed to quietly take down all the serving staff, and the moment Sura was pushed into the water by Ye Yinzhu, she captured him at the first opportunity.

“I can indeed avoid harming him, but it will depend on what you do.

Don’t tell me you don’t know where Anya is—I won’t believe it.

In other words, if you truly don’t know, then none of you will leave this place alive today,” An Qi said arrogantly.

Ye Yinzhu’s panions Xiang Luan and Haiyang, who stood behind him, were alarmed at the deep Zi rank aura emanating from her.

Especially Haiyang, who could tell that this seemingly young and beautiful woman possessed strength even greater than her grandfather Xi Duofu, who was known as the number one master of the Milan Empire.

They knew they were no match for such a formidable opponent.

Letting out a silent sigh, Ye Yinzhu didn’t know what to do.

He didn’t want to betray Anya and was even less willing to let Sura die because of himself.

His brain worked frantically, and finally, before An Qi could make a move, he thought of a way to stall for time.

After signaling Haiyang and the other girl behind him with his right hand, Ye Yinzhu stepped out of the water and walked toward An Qi, “Alright, I agree to take you to Sister Anya.

You know, to avoid you, Sister Anya must be hiding in a very secret place.

That place cannot be described in words, but I’ve been there.

I can take you there, but you must let these friends of mine go.

Otherwise, even if it means mutual destruction, I absolutely won’t tell you Sister Anya’s whereabouts.”

An Qi looked at the calm and posed Ye Yinzhu, somewhat surprised.

This kid seemed to have bee shrewd, actually using this method to threaten her.

To her, the lives of Sura and Haiyang meant nothing; finding Anya was all that mattered.

“Fine,” An Qi immediately tossed Sura towards Ye Yinzhu without hesitation.

She was not fearful that Ye Yinzhu and his panions would escape now.

From her earlier tracking, she had already assessed the strength of the four, and she was confident that even if they wanted to escape, they absolutely couldn’t.

Ye Yinzhu extended his arms and caught Sura.

Sura’s body was surprisingly soft, his eyes still closed, and his body somewhat cold.

However, the softness surprised Ye Yinzhu.

He didn’t have time to think about it now.

“What have you done to him?

Wake him up, and I’ll leave with you right away.”

With a nonchalant smile, An Qi raised her hand, and as purple light flickered, Sura groaned softly, moving slightly as he regained consciousness in Ye Yinzhu’s arms.

Ye Yinzhu could clearly feel Sura’s body suddenly stiffen, and when he realized he was in Ye Yinzhu’s arms, the stiffness slowly eased.

Sura had seen An Qi before, and his eyes couldn’t help but flash with a cold light.

Ye Yinzhu could clearly feel that in the water, his hand had already gripped the Angel’s Sigh Dagger concealed in his sleeve.

“Sura, take Haiyang and the others and leave,” Ye Yinzhu said steadily.

“No, I won’t leave,” Sura said firmly.

Ye Yinzhu looked down at him, and he was looking right back.

In that moment when their gazes met, they could both sense the other’s intent.

Sighing inwardly, Ye Yinzhu looked up at An Qi, “Please, wait a moment—I need to speak to my friends.” Without waiting for An Qi’s consent, he quickly pulled Sura to the other side of the Holy Spring.
