unattractive.""Well, not bad-looking, actually a bit better than normal people, but because you stand out too much, she becomes the peacock among phoenixes.""Alright, are you here to observe or to as...Chapter 293: Smiling at the Vast Sea 2

When Xianyao took away the sheet music, apart from those who stayed to watch the show, everyone who had besieged Xianyao due to Mao Mao dispersed. Since Xianyao denied it, did they really have to wait around Besides, now that Mao Mao was also nearby, a slight detour would suffice, so there was no need to waste time over this.

Although Xianyao seemed to be looking very closely and missed nothing, his speed was still quite fast. Compared to ordinary people, he was much faster.

This was why everyone felt that the kid didn't seem to know much about it, and probably wouldn't make it this time around.

The old man seemed to also sense Xianyao's speed, his expression becoming more serene. It appeared as if he had given up hope on Xianyao.

"It really is Smiling at the Vast Sea, an ancient version too! This technique is very difficult!" Xianyao sighed after looking through it.

"That's right, it's hard. So if you can't do it, leave." The old man said calmly.

Xianyao smiled and replied, "Although it's a bit difficult, I can still manage to do it!"

“ What Can you really do it” the old man opened his eyes and stared at Xianyao. “You’re not exaggerating, are you”

Xianyao smiled but didn't answer the old man's question. Instead, he answered with actions by picking up a guqin and playing it.

Smiling at the Vast Sea!

Xianyao’s qin music began to narrate a story of laughing at the world's風雲, being proud and unrestrained across the land. This was what Smiling at the Vast Sea wanted to convey; in terms of tone and atmosphere, he scored full marks on all fronts.

When Xianyao’s qin music started playing, everyone stopped their activities and remained silent, listening quietly to this marvelous sound as if they had become great martial heroes, laughing at the world of martial arts.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder. Could it really be that he just looked through the sheet music How could it sound so perfect with no flaws! Could it be that he had seen this score before and was pretending to look at it now

That must have been the case; he had pretended to look very quickly, because who else would learn it in such a short time without even practicing!

The old man also suspected as much. However, he did confirm Xianyao's standard: playing such qin music was something he had never heard before. Still, the old man believed that Xianyao couldn't finish Smiling at the Vast Sea.

Now was just the beginning; the main part would come later, where the high-level techniques were crucial to completing this piece of Smiling at the Vast Sea, and only then could its effect be displayed completely.

Nearly no one in the world could perform these difficult techniques. He had sought out many music masters but received the same answer each time. Therefore, he decided to set up a stall here and see if someone with a karmic connection would appear.

As for why he chose this place to set up his stall, there was a reason behind it, which was also his secret.

No way could he succeed; even though he had talent, he was still too young and couldn't master such techniques!

The old man closed his eyes again, seemingly sentencing Xianyao to death in his heart.

But soon after, his eyes opened, revealing a look of shock because he heard this Smiling at the Vast Sea's difficult part that required extremely high-level techniques.

The kid actually managed it Who is this young man, and how did he have such ability

The old man’s gaze towards Xianyao completely changed. Even though Xianyao hadn’t finished playing the entire piece, what he saw now was unbelievable: a youngster actually completing techniques that even grandmasters found difficult!

However, this shock couldn't be conveyed to others’ thoughts; those not at this level had no idea how much technique was involved in what Xianyao played. They merely felt his qin music sounded very pleasant, so much so they forgot themselves and were drawn into the world created by the music.

Because of this music, even a bustling night market became quiet, an unbelievable silence. The night market wasn’t particularly large to begin with, lacking the scale of big cities; in every corner of the night market one could hear Xianyao’s qin music, gradually making the entire place quiet.

After finishing one piece, when the old man was about to say something and others hadn't reacted to cheer yet, Xianyao took up a flute and started playing again. The same Smiling at the Vast Sea.

Although it was the same song, it felt different. Previously, the qin music gave one an intense feeling, but now the flute melody was graceful and悠揚. Even among great heroes, there were different types of heroes.

The others just felt excited at this point; great! They could continue listening, hoping he would play all the instruments in turn for a full enjoyment.

But the old man wasn't just excited; rather, he was shocked. It was already unbelievable that an instrument could reach such heights, and now this youngster knew not one but two (already proven) and might know even more.

How did he learn it At such a young age, how could he achieve levels others couldn't, and not just in one field! If those music masters were here, they would probably feel ashamed themselves!

The elder wanted to see how many instruments the Free-and-Easy would play, while others wished to continue listening to find out if there were different flavors with a change of instrument.

Hence, the Free-and-Easy changed one kind of musical instrument after another. The elder was thoroughly convinced and impressed by his performances that this scene began to seem rather strange: people gathered in large numbers but kept quiet, all listening to music.

Gradually, more and more people were drawn into this mysterious situation due to the Free-and-Easy’s varied musical instruments. The butterfly effect kicked in, creating a storm of interest in Qingyun City that caused almost everyone who received news to rush over. Those lucky ones could still hear some music.

"What happened ahead"

When Miss Granddaughter was on her way to drink wine and visit courtesans at Yihong House, she noticed people heading toward the same direction. She wondered what had happened and decided not to go drinking for now but find out why everyone seemed to be gathering in that direction.

"Hey, Mo Yu! What a coincidence!"

A figure flashed past Miss Granddaughter at this moment. The shadow stopped and turned around to greet her. This was the person whom Miss Granddaughter disliked most but had always kept company with.

“Nan Gong Susu, why are you in such a hurry” As soon as Miss Granddaughter said that, she knew it must be Nan Gong Susu.

"Someone is playing music ahead and seems to have great skills. I need to go there to cultivate my artistic taste; otherwise, I would become rather crude by hanging out with you," Nan Gong Susu replied, obviously mocking Miss Granddaughter.

“Hmph, temperament is something innate. For instance, I’m naturally beautiful and talented….” Miss Granddaughter complimented herself as usual.

"And narcissistic!" Nan Gong Susu said sarcastically.

"Right….Damn it, who’s being narcissistic Even if I am, there's a reason for me to be so. Are you jealous" Miss Granddaughter put on a proud look and was completely unaffected.

“I don’t have time to talk to you. We should hurry up and go listen to music instead. You lack the potential; better off drinking your flower wine.” Nan Gong Susu ignored her, intending to head there alone.

"No way! I want to prove that I also possess musical talent. I’m going!" Miss Granddaughter never accepted any of Nan Gong Susu’s suggestions before and this time was no exception; she went ahead despite what the latter said.

“Then stay away from me so you don’t embarrass me!” Nan Gong Susu flung her arm dismissively and acted as if she didn't know Miss Granddaughter at all.

Miss Granddaughter saw this, smiled, and retorted, “I’ll follow you. You can hit me if you want to!”

"You …" At that moment, Nan Gong Susu was too busy to fight with her and simply sped up as though ignoring Miss Granddaughter.

Miss Granddaughter laughed and followed suit.

When they neared the night market, they ran into someone very familiar: Third Miss of the Nan Gong Family, Nan Gong Su!

"You guys are here too!" Third Miss was somewhat surprised to see them. She had been reading in a nearby bookshop and came over after hearing news on her way home.

She did not expect her older sister and Miss Granddaughter would also be interested. Especially the latter, who usually showed little interest in music; now she should have been at Yihong House drinking wine instead.

Hence, their unexpected appearance left her quite surprised!

"Third Sister"

“Su Su, my dear…”

“Mo Yu, mind your words!” Third Miss reminded her.

Although Miss Granddaughter and Nan Gong Susu were somewhat taken aback by Third Miss’s appearance, they did not think much of it. The interest in music was originally high with Third Miss; she would definitely come here upon hearing news about the Free-and-Easy.

"What a coincidence! Su Su, do you think we have great fate Meeting each other unexpectedly here!" Miss Granddaughter grabbed Third Miss’s hand and started waxing poetic as usual.

“This Qingyun City isn't big enough for people to gather all over. Of course they’ll meet!” Nan Gong Susu replied sourly, ignoring how her sister held hands with Miss Granddaughter, which she was used to by now.

In this regard, Miss Granddaughter’s shamelessness had caused the two sisters of the Nan Gong Family to be accustomed to it!

“Let’s go. Su Su, I’ll clear a path for you!” Ignoring Nan Gong Susu's words, she grabbed Third Miss’s hand and walked in...evil energy, not from the righteous faction. Could it be that..."Haha!Caught anyway,interesting.I'll just take the peerless sword then! I'm Heaven River from Ghost Shadow Sect of the Demonic sect,reme...
