The others stopped feeling jealous after realizing what this was about.
Instead, they all showed an interesting facial expression.
Jiang Chen wasn’t as embarrassed as they had thought he would be. He
didn’t want to find a hole to hide himself because of shame.
He was just smiling bitterly.
He had indeed wondered what was so special about himself that Miss Tian
Ling was attracted to him, but it turned out he had been overthinking.
“Miss Tian Ling.”
Li Bai hurried to get to his feet. He said, “Young Master Wind’s seat belongs to
my good friend Lu Yuan. He can’te because he has some other errands
to run. That’s how Young Master Wind ends up sitting there.”
However, in the pavilion, Miss Tian Ling didn’t give his word a damn at all.
“My intention to establish the Civil and Martial Arts Institute is to stay out of
the influence of forces, strong people andmon views.”
“Your friend can’te today. Tomorrow maybe someone’s friend will get
killed. If I allow this to happen every time, how will things end up?”
Many people agreed with her.
“But...” Li Bai was going to continue arguing.
“Li Bai! Don’t bring shame on the Heaven Martial Arts Club and Wing
Prefecture!”
Opposite to him, a man about 27 or 28 years old, sitting in his seat, scolded
him.
“Elder brother.”
Li Bai greeted him. Then he looked towards Jiang Chen helplessly, since
there was really nothing he could do.
Jiang Chen said, “Miss Tian Ling, you mean even if the seat owner isn’t
ing, the seat shouldn’t be taken by anyone else?”
“Cut the crap! You wanna make Wing Prefecture aughingstock? Just stand
aside!”
Li Bai’s elder brother said sternly.
“That is the rule,” Tian Ling added.
“By the way, Miss Tian Ling, you asked for myment on your music
instead of driving me away in the first ce. Can I interpret it in this way, that
if I had said something more impressive, you would have made a different
decision?”
Jiang Chen said, neither too humble nor too proud, ignoring Li Bai’s elder
brother.
“Exactly. But your firstment doesn’t count,” Tian Ling said.
“That’s right. That being said, if I’m supposed toment on your music
seriously, will I be able to express everything in only one sentence?”
Jiang Chen nodded. If he had been behaving in a normal manner, what he
said next would astound everyone on the scene.
“The reason I couldn’t say what was so good about it is that it wasn’t good
enough.”
Tian Ling was such a prestigious person. It wasn’t hard to imagine how the
people were shocked by him.
Then the crowd flew into a rage.
“Li Bai, where did you find such an arrogant person?” Li Bai’s elder brother
said in anger.
“Miss Tian Ling, do you mind if it gets bloody here?”
At the same time, another person asked after rising to his feet.
Jiang Chen looked over and met his eyes, full of aggressiveness.
When their eyes had met, Jiang Chen knew immediately this guy wasn’t
simple. He must have some real stuff.
And this guy looked so familiar to him. He felt he had seen this guy
somewhere.
“Young Master Shenji is always so impressive.”
Someone’s murmur happened to resolve Jiang Chen’s puzzles.
This guy was Young Master Shenji from the Constetion Pce.
Jiang Chen had been feeling lucky in the morning that the Constetion
Pce was on the other side of Wing Prefecture. However, in the evening, he
was seeing Young Master Shenji here, but since he had known more about
the Civil and Martial Arts Institute and Tian Ling, he didn’t feel too weird about
it.
Looking carefully at the rival he would confront in the Title Battle, Jiang Chen
felt he had made the correct decision toe here.
If he didn’t know how strong Young Master Shenji was, he was afraid he
wouldn’t even know how he would die in the battle.
He intuited that if they fought then, he would definitely lose!
Young Master Shenji was different from his younger brother Young Master
Xuanji.
They looked alike. Both of them looked proud.
He looked arrogant and unbridled with his ck hair hanging down on his
shoulder.
However, Young Master Xuanji was so arrogant that he seemed a bit
retarded, while he was different.
Young Master Shenji’s look became sharp immediately, as if he had perceived
the change in Jiang Chen’s look. He kept staring at thetter.
“What wasn’t good about it?”
Tian Ling didn’t answer Young Master Shenji. She asked Jiang Chen instead.
If she hadn’t even asked, Jiang Chen would be greatly disappointed by the
Civil and Martial Arts Institute.
“It is impossible to use only one or two words to talk about music,” Jiang Chen
said.
“Dude, it’s enough. You didn’t say anything useful at all.”
“If other people hear about this, they will say there is a moron in the Civil and
Martial Arts Institute in Wing Prefecture.”
“Can you just shut up?”
The folks of Wing Prefecture couldn’t help but swear. If Tian Ling weren’t
there, they could even have attacked Jiang Chen.
“Young Master Wind...” Even Li Bai shot him a nervous warning nce.
“Can I y something for miss so that you can make your own judgement?”
Jiang Chen said calmly, gazing at the pavilion. He wasn’t affected by other
people at all.
Those who had thought Jiang Chen a scoundrelly shut up immediately. They
showed a weird face.
The pavilion went into silence, and the silencested for some time.
Suddenly, a zither made of jade flew out of there. It swirled before Jiang Chen
and finally fell on the table.
“Please.” Tian Ling’s voice came.
Jiang Chen sat down in an elegant manner. He touched the strings gently with
his hands.
“It’s a great zither!”
He said approvingly after a short while.
However, no response came from the pavilion. The others were also skeptical
of what he had said.
Who knew whether Jiang Chen was ying any tricks?
Then, Jiang Chen ced his long delicate fingers on the two ends of the
zither. He suddenly looked like another person. His long hair blew gently.
Soon, he started to pluck the strings.
The tune sounded familiar. It was the one Tian Ling had yed.
Leaving their disdain and scorn behind, everyone was listening to the music
calmly and peacefully.
At first, they were still reluctant to ept the fact that his music was so
soothing, but over time, when they had been really immersed in the music,
their facial expressions changed.
Some people couldn’t resist the attraction of the music anymore.
“No way!”
Out of the pavilion, those pretty women turned pale.
However, Jiang Chen was right there. He was moving his fingers skillfully. He
was so into his music. Every movement of his seemed full of charm.
When the music had stopped, the whole ce was in silence. Even the fall of
a needle could be heard.
“Thank you for listening.”
Jiang Chen’s hands stopped moving. He touched the strings gently again.
He hadn’t yed zither for 500 years. And this wasn’t his zither. As a result,
he wasn’t very satisfied with his performance.
However, it was good enough to impress those on the scene.
The thing was none of these people could tell who was better. They just
looked towards the pavilion silently.
Soon, Tian Ling got to her feet in the pavilion.
The women outside the pavilion pulled the curtain open right away.
Tian Ling came up to Jiang Chen’s table under many enthusiastic gazes.
Just as people knew, she was wearing a veil, so it was impossible to see her
face, but her fair soft skin and great figure were already impressive enough.
Tian Ling saluted to Jiang Chen. The crowd couldn’t believe what they had
seen.
“Young master, please don’t take what happened to the heart. I was so
shortsighted that I forgot there were always more excellent people out there,”
she said.
“Seriously?!”
The people on the scene found it hard to believe what they had heard.
“It’s just ying zither. Wasn’t she a bit exaggerating?” Some people didn’t
understand what had happened.
“It’s not just ying zither. Combined with the movement of wind, the music
was incorporated with the tune of wind.”
Someone saw through what the zitherpetition was really about.
He said slowly, “If Miss Tian Ling managed to merge 90% of them, Jiang
Chen managed to merge 100% of them.”
His word made the crowd exim again.
Tian Ling didn’t refute. She agreed tacitly to his remark.
“It''s never toote to mend.”
Facing Tian Ling’s apology, Jiang Chen said seriously.
