Even Su Qian’s heart tightened. Her steps changed, but every step happened to fall on the beat of the flute sound.
Su Qian was slightly startled as she looked at the person playing the flute.
In Su Qian’s sight, Xiao Yan was sitting quietly on the spot, playing a green flute. The music was elegant and beautiful, but it perfectly blended into Su Qian’s dance steps.
Everyone was stunned, but Su Qian was even more surprised.
Her sword dance was created on a whim of years ago. She had tried to pair it with some music, but the music played by the famous musicians she had hired could not keep up with her movements. Instead, it would slow her down. Therefore, she never danced to the music.
But now, with the flute sound, her dance movements became even smoother. Despite it being their first collaboration, she seemed to sense Xiao Yan’s emotions. Her footsteps and movements happened to step on Xiao Yan’s flute music perfectly. The two of them worked together seamlessly, impressing the audience and leaving them awestruck with the exquisite dance and beautiful music. They felt chills down their spines and didn’t even want to blink!
A satisfied smile tugged at the corners of Su Qian’s rosy lips as she enjoyed the dance. With a sweep of her hand on the sword, flickering flames leaped out from the blade.
Instantly, the flute sound soared and fluctuated, igniting the atmosphere of the entire audience along with the flames on the sword, making people inevitably tense.
Boom!
The flames on the longsword leaped and danced, wrapping around Su Qian’s alluring body like a burning ribbon. It was so dangerous yet incredibly beautiful. Everyone was so mesmerized that they forgot to breathe and stared wide-eyed. Only the increasingly intense flute music pounding their hearts in perfect synchronization with Su Qian’s dance moves!
Everyone was impressed by this scene, and no one could bear to blink their eyes.
At this moment, the sound of the flute soared to its climax again. Su Qian’s body spun rapidly in the midst of the flames. With a loud bang, the flames that enveloped Su Qian’s body burst out of the sword and exploded in the air.
The intense heat wave spread out, and a fire phoenix emerged. Under the control of Su Qian’s spiritual power, it respectfully lowered its head toward Empress Dowager. Then, under everyone’s gaze, it turned into a flame and disappeared into the air.
The flute and Su Qian stopped at the same time. Everything was just perfect.
“This courtier’s daughter wishes to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her good health and great fortune.” Su Qian held her sword and bowed.
The entire hall fell silent. Everyone was deeply shocked and speechless, except for Xiao Yan, whose gaze met with Su Qian’s across the space.
The cooperation between the two of them was almost perfectly seamless just now. Su Qian looked at Xiao Yan in confusion.
How could this man be so cooperative with her?
Xiao Yan sensed Su Qian’s questioning gaze, but he smiled and didn’t answer.
When Qianqian was dancing just now, Xiao Yan seemed to have peeped into her heart.
Whether it was dancing or playing music, they could all reveal a person’s temperament. Only when their souls were compatible could they cooperate seamlessly.
Xiao Yan was very satisfied with this result and reminded with a smile, “Imperial Grandmother, do you like it?”
It was only then the Empress Dowager finally came back to her senses and exclaimed with joy, “Miss Su, you never cease to amaze me with your surprises. I really like your gift. Come, reward her generously!”
No one dared to speak up this time. Even An Ruoruo had to admit that Su Qian had done an excellent job. Just as she gritted her teeth unwillingly, Su Qian’s cold voice sounded.
“Miss An, I’ll return this sword to you.” After saying that, Su Qian flicked her hand and a cold light shot out from her hand..
