A majority of the young generation present had never been able to appreciate opera. All of them sat on their seats restlessly, but when they noticed the old master’s rapt attention and fascination, they didn’t dare to act rashly.

Shen Qianrou sat in the front row, her face revealing impatience. In her opinion, the opera performance was noisy and their actions were so fake. There was no aesthetic appeal and she was groaning as her heart felt as though it was being torn apart. Especially when she sat in the front row, the deafening sounds shook her chest and irritated her.

She turned her head impatiently, only to spot Shen Fanxing in the front row a short distance away, with Xu Qingzhi and Yin Ruijue beside her.

She frowned at the sight of her. All these years because of Xu Qingzhi, Shen Fanxing had gotten to befriend a few young masters.

Without Xu Qingzhi, where would Shen Fanxing be now?

At that moment, Pei Anzhi and Bo Jinchuan appeared.

The two of them sat down beside Shen Fanxing.

On Shen Fanxing’s right sat Xu Qingzhi, while Ye Susu sat on her right. Pei Anzhi walked over and sat on the empty seat next to Ye Susu. The two shared a smile. Pei Anzhi lowered his head slightly and Ye Susu whispered into his ear. He couldn’t hide the affectionate smile on his handsome face. Ye Susu adjusted his collar naturally before looking in the direction of Old Master Pei. Seeing how engrossed he was, she straightened her body and continued watching the performance.

Xu Qingzhi, who was sitting beside Shen Fanxing, saw Bo Jinchuan walking towards them. She glanced at him before grabbing a handful of snacks. Then, she rose and gave up her seat naturally.

Bo Jinchuan bent and sat down naturally next to Shen Fanxing.

At that moment, Xu Qingzhi straightened her back and turned to speak to Yin Ruijue. She had blocked Shen Qianrou’s view, so she had no choice but to retract her gaze. Her frown deepened.

The opera went on until the female lead, Mu Guiying’s children, received recognition from the military. The old master heaved a noticeable sigh of relief.

Thereafter, the performance continued to depict how She Taijun had received the seal and how he wanted to unite the three armies to protect the country. Mu Guiying couldn’t suppress the melancholy in her heart and said resignedly,

“Tears roll down your face before you speak, and you call me Old Madam respectfully. It’s not that I’m afraid of death nor am I unwilling, but the slanders of Emperor Song make me sad. I, Guiying, didn’t leave ten years ago. Our Yang family has been in the army for four generations. We’ve worn out countless saddles and stirrups, and we’ve worn hundreds of iron armor. When we storm empires and defend our borders, how can we not hurt our family? On the battlefield, loyal and good generals die, but unscrupulous officials enjoy luxury…”

Upon hearing that line, Shen Fanxing grinned silently.

The ones who died on the battlefield were loyal generals, but the ones who enjoyed luxury were unscrupulous officials!

Indeed, good people have never been avenged from then till now!

“Don’t you think you resemble Mu Guiying?”

Bo Jinchuan whispered into her ear.

Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “A little. She has set her heart on conquering the empire and becoming a capable ruler. But scheming people enjoy the fruits of labor and live a luxurious life instead…”

Bo Jinchuan frowned and asked, “You mean Su Heng and Shen Qianrou?”

“Who else could it be?”

Shen Fanxing looked at him.

Bo Jinchuan flashed her a meaningful grin and whispered in her ear,

“I was thinking that you’re just like Mu Guiying. You’re intelligent, aloof, and unyielding. You’re strong and you refuse to be bullied. But when you soften up, you’re very alluring…”

Shen Fanxing’s face turned pink instantly.
