My Master Knows It All

1107: Chapter 285_6 1107: Chapter 285_6 Although it was a guesthouse prepared for visitors, the courtyard occupied an exceptionally vast area.

Cao Zhen had not waited long in the courtyard before Wu Se left for a moment and then returned with a group of people, each holding a musical instrument in their hands.

Wu Se addressed the crowd, especially Cao Zhen and another person known for his high level of flute playing who entered the Cloud Reaching Sect with the sound of his flute, “Due to the addition of two Dao Companions, and because we are unfamiliar with each other, we need to rehearse in advance.

Moreover, we are to accompany Immortal Bi Yue in her dance under the moonlight.

Immortal Bi Yue specifically invited a master composer who composed this ‘Moonlight Dance’ piece.”

As Wu Se spoke, he took out a sheet of music and handed it over to Cao Zhen and the flute player, “Please familiarize yourselves first, and then we will play together shortly.”

Clearly, the others were already familiar with this piece and had practiced together before.

Now, it was time for the two newcomers to quickly get acquainted.

Cao Zhen glanced around and found that, including himself and the flute player, there were more than twenty people.

Subsequently, his gaze fell upon the sheet of music in front of him.

With just one look, he had already memorized the music score.

Beside him, the flute player also spoke up, “Everyone, I have memorized the score as well.

However, to not delay everyone’s time, I will familiarize myself with it first, and then we can practice together.

How does that sound?”

“That would be best.” Wu Se nodded slightly, then turned towards Cao Zhen.

Given Cao Zhen’s previously demonstrated level of playing the struck instrument, he was much more courteous towards Cao Zhen than the flute player.

His face was full of smiles as he quietly asked, “Master Cao, I wonder if you would like to familiarize yourself first?”

Cao Zhen felt that such a simple piece really did not need familiarization.

It was just like the previous ‘Moonlight Solo Dance’ outside the gates of Cloud Reaching Sect, which he only needed to look at once before he began playing.

Even so, he had caused another person to fail to keep up with his rhythm, completely messing things up.

However…

Cao Zhen looked at the man and still nodded lightly, thinking it best to keep a low profile since he had just arrived in the Eastern Province.

Besides, he had to rein in a bit later; otherwise, he might cause this flute player to lose the rhythm again.

“Then please.” The flute player gestured for Cao Zhen to proceed and put the bamboo flute to his lips.

When Cao Zhen nodded, he sounded the first note.

Cao Zhen had heard the flute player play before and knew his level.

He intentionally suppressed his own skill on the struck instrument, playing quite casually.

Wu Se nodded slightly on the side.

Master Cao Zhen, not only was his skill at the struck instrument worthy of the title of master, but his character was also impeccable.

Master Cao’s skill was far superior to what he was showing, but the master intentionally lowered his own level to keep in step with the flute player.

In truth, had the master not reduced his skill level and had simply played normally, no one could have objected.

After all, it’s your incompetence, why should I lower my standard?

Sounds flowed out, at first the flute player’s sound was slightly unpolished, but his skill was decent and gradually he also got familiar with it.

One playing the struck instrument and the other the flute, it made the listeners feel as if they were under the night sky, admiring the solitary moon.

Gradually, the piece came to an end, and the crowd couldn’t help but applaud and praise.

“Both of your skills are truly superb.

It’s impossible to tell this is your first time playing together.”

“This is just the first time.

I even feel that if you two tried again, you could join us in the performance.”

“Should we try once more?”

“Alright, I have no problem,” said the flute player, slightly nodding.

Then suddenly, as if transfixed by a ‘Divine Skills’ enchantment, he stared intently outside.

When the crowd noticed the flute player’s demeanor, they all turned to look outside as well.

Cao Zhen also turned to look, and out of nowhere, a woman had appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

Instantly, Cao Zhen was struck by a feeling of amazement.

The woman in front of him had skin as fair as lard, with a delicate and beautiful face that seemed like it would ooze water with a gentle touch.

Under her willowy brows, her eyes shone like bright moons, dazzling and mesmerizing onlookers at a single glance.

Adorned in a light blue silk satin dress, the hem fluttered slightly with the breeze, adding to her celestial aura.

Cao Zhen had seen many beauties, and even his four disciples were all great beauties, but for some reason, upon seeing this woman, he experienced a sensation of astonishment.

Immortal Bi Yue!

He hadn’t seen Immortal Bi Yue before, but instantly upon seeing the women in front of him, he knew she must be Immortal Bi Yue.

Compelled, he recited softly, “In the north there is a beauty, peerless and independent.

A single glance overturns a city, a second glance overturns a nation.”

As his words fell, Immortal Bi Yue at the entrance turned her radiant eyes toward Cao Zhen, an expression of awe adorning her features.

Those around him seemed to awaken from the sudden voice as well, all turning towards Cao Zhen.

Qian Yu, who had been standing beside Wu Se and hardly speaking, softly repeated, “A single glance overturns a city, a second glance overturns a nation… Such a beautiful verse… With such an exquisite verse, once made known, it would surely spread throughout Heaven.

I have never heard of this poem before, it must be Master Cao’s own creation.

To think that Master Cao possesses such literary grace!”
