Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 234: Chapter 234: A Melody of the Guqin, Unity of Heaven and Man!

At that moment, the songstresses on the high platform all retreated backstage, and a young man who appeared to be the evening’s host came forward. He announced with a clear, laughing voice, ”To all the juniors who have newly joined the Heavenly Position Academy, welcome to the evening party. I am Bai Jiantao from the Central Courtyard, an A-class Disciple!”

A-class Disciples symbolized a central powerhouse amongst the strength of the Heavenly Position Academy.

Each year, the Heavenly Position Academy enrolls nearly a thousand Yellow Character Disciples, yet less than ten percent manage to pass the rigorous tests to become A-class Disciples!

This Bai Jiantao exuded an aura like a treasure sword with its edge concealed, but still occasionally emitted a sharpness that was too intimidating to face directly. Indeed, as an A-class Disciple, he was impressive!

The crowd quickly quieted down, not daring to disrespect an A-class Disciple.

”At our Heavenly Position Academy, we have a long history and encompass a myriad of academic fields. We are not simply a place for cultivating martial artists. Every year, among the Yellow Character Disciples, there are those with outstanding talents! Next, we welcome Qin Wanwan, a Yellow Character Disciple from the East Courtyard, to perform the ancient zither piece ’Spring Snow’ for us!”

”Qin Wanwan?”

Feng Mo, who was beside Ling Feng, suddenly widened his eyes, ”Brother Feng, I didn’t expect Miss Qin to play the zither as well!”

”Yes, really impressive!” Jiang Xiaofan nodded consistently. This guy, aside from knowing how to handle a spear and a stick, couldn’t recognize a bucketful of large characters and was even more clueless about anything related to ancient zither music.

Ling Feng pursed his lips, he too had not expected that the capricious and willful young lady would possess such a skill!

In the next moment, a graceful figure walked slowly onto the high platform, holding an aged zither made of scorched wood in her hands. Her serene and earnest demeanor contrasted sharply with her usual brash attitude, revealing a different kind of charm.

The Yellow Character Disciples from the other four courtyards immediately began to exclaim in surprise. It turned out that such a high-caliber beauty was hidden in the East Courtyard!

At once, the area below the stage erupted into deafening cheers!

The Yellow Character Disciples who had just entered the Heavenly Position Academy undoubtedly faced the strictest training, and a rare chance to relax like this naturally made them more excited than ever!

Qin Wanwan was dressed very formally today, in a resplendent light blue fairy-like gown that was dazzling to the eye, adding an extra touch of beauty.

Under the hazy twilight and the soft starlight, she sat calmly in the center of the stage and began to gently pluck the zither strings, playing a beautiful and moving melody.

It must be said, Qin Wanwan’s skill with the zither was quite impressive. Although most of the audience undoubtedly lacked expertise in poetry and music, they could still be touched by her music and experience a sense of tranquility and peace.

With her eyes closed, Qin Wanwan immersed herself in the beautiful melodies. As her fingertips danced, strings of wonderful notes fell like autumn rain, soaking into the hearts of those listening!

A master!

Absolutely a master lute player!

Even if Qin Wanwan couldn’t reach the pinnacle in the Martial Arts realm, if she were to focus on her zither skills, she would undoubtedly have the potential to become a court chief lute master.

As the beautiful music played by Qin Wanwan continued, in Ling Feng’s mind, an image emerged of a solitary Swordsman dancing with his sword under the moon.

Listening to Qin Wanwan’s zither sound, he unconsciously sank into a profound state, as if merging with the natural world, achieving Unity of Heaven and Man.

”This woman...” Ling Feng felt as though a chord in his heart had been struck.

It is said that one can discern refined sentiments from the music of strings; indeed, Qin Wanwan’s zither playing expressed a part of her inner world. She didn’t seem quite as unreasonable.

Not knowing when, the youth who always appeared as cold as a thousand years of Frost, Lee Bufan, also showed up at the evening event, accompanied by a man who bore a resemblance to him and looked a few years older, clearly his older brother.

From his attire, he was likely an A-class Disciple.

This man was none other than the sixth son of the Grand Commandant Mansion, also known as Lee Bufan’s own elder brother, Lee Bujue!

The Grand Commandant Mansion had numerous offspring, but Lee Bufan and Lee Bujue were born of the same mother, which naturally made their relationship far better than with their other brothers.

”Bufan, you regard all the world’s beautiful women as mere dirt, so why today were you actually attracted by this woman’s zither music?”

Lee Bujue turned his head to look at his ninth brother, Lee Bufan, and smiled slightly.

Facing his elder brother, Lee Bufan’s expression softened slightly, but was still as cold as frost, ”Brother Six jests.”

In fact, at the end of his gaze was Ling Feng!

This was the only peer who could match him, someone he could not forget at any moment. The only thing on his mind was when he could completely leave Ling Feng behind!

Finally, as the last beautiful note fell, Qin Wanwan slowly opened her eyes, her hands still resting on the zither strings, seemingly unwilling to let go...

Her gaze appeared to be searching—who had understood the message in her heart?

”Clap! Clap! Clap!...”

Ling Feng clapped for her candidly; at that moment, his mind seemed to have sunk into a state of Unity of Heaven and Man, and even his Sword Dao Enlightenment seemed to have improved a bit.

To be able to play the zither to such an extent, she certainly deserved to be called a zither master!

Immediately after, a tidal wave of applause erupted, accompanied by cheers and acclaims.

”Today I’ve come to understand why Master Su seems particularly fond of Miss Qin; turns out Miss Qin is also a talented lady!” Feng Mo stroked his chin repeatedly, full of admiration.

Meanwhile, Zhou Kai and Ouyang Jing had already found Zhou Yun and pushed through the crowded throng to reach her side.

Ling Feng pursed his lips; he had just briefly entered a state of Unity of Heaven and Man with the help of Qin Wanwan’s zither music. Just for that alone, it was worth coming tonight.

After a long while, Qin Wanwan slowly rose to her feet, bowed to the audience below, then carrying her Ancient Zither, she stepped down from the stage.

She slowly lifted her dress hem and descended the stage with grace, wherever she passed the crowd was impassable!

”Miss Qin, I greatly admire your talent; I wonder if we might engage in some in-depth discussion about the arts!”

”Junior Sister Qin, actually I have researched Ancient Zither Sheet Music quite a bit as well—’Plum Blossoms,’ ’Dusk Flute and Drum,’ I can play them all...”

”Hahaha, Miss Qin, we must be kindred spirits; I actually have a very large collection of famous Ancient Zithers!”

A group of young men, who were enchanted by Qin Wanwan’s talent and beauty, surrounded her; even with her cousin Lio Yunfei offering his protection, the crazy crowd was relentless and unyielding.

Qin Wanwan frowned, a far cry from the tranquility and elegance she had on stage, and with a cold face she swept a glance at those lecherous fellows, ”A good dog doesn’t block the path, all of you scram!”

Indeed, this was the true nature of the arrogant lady!

However, this only stirred up the desires of those young men to conquer her and entangled her even more.

Just as Qin Wanwan was about to go berserk with anger, she suddenly caught sight of Ling Feng, clenched her silver teeth, and shouted, ”Stinky Ling Feng, listen up, the first thing I want you to do is to help me drive away these annoying flies!”
