sense of disappointment. He had only been saying it for effect, and such remarks were usually made just once, not to be repeated." Alright, nearly done... By the way, if you're competing on the first...Chapter 294: Not Enough to See 1
When the three of them reached the edge, they found there were too many people and there was no way to squeeze in because it was already crowded with no empty spots at all!!
"Miss Mo Yu, now is the time for you to show your strength and clear a path!" Princess Nanguang said with a smile. This wasn't joking or mocking Miss, but rather a fact that she could do this.
"No problem, watch me!" Miss patted her chest and shouted at those in front of them: "People up ahead, make way for us! Otherwise I won’t be polite!!"
"Ah, Mo Yu!"
"Damn, Mo Yu is here! Everyone move out of the way!"
…"
Suddenly, a path was squeezed open in this already crowded crowd, and it was even somewhat spacious enough for Miss and her companions to pass through.
This was Miss's reputation. In Qingyun City, who didn't know the city’s bully, Miss Mo Yu She could make people give way, and even stop children from crying; she was a legend, ahem…
However, this legend of hers seemed to be halted at one point: a place where they could clearly hear Xianyao's music. Even if her reputation made others clear the path for her, there were no gaps ahead and even if there were, those people were too engrossed to notice.
Miss wanted to push through further but was unable to do so. She thought about flying over, which they could easily do although there were also many people on top of the buildings; she just needed to kick some down.
However, at this moment, it seemed like she didn't want to do that here because they could already hear the music from here with their hearing. As long as they focused, even further out, they could still clearly hear it.
Here or slightly in front, there was no difference. More importantly, the music made Miss let go of some violent thoughts and she felt listening quietly here wasn’t bad either.
Of course, they did use a little true qi to form an empty space around them so that others wouldn't be able to push them uncomfortably. Thus, in this place, there appeared a strange phenomenon: compared to the crowded area nearby, their space seemed extra spacious.
"This feeling is so familiar!" Miss said after listening for a while; her tone had some confusion—why did she feel it was familiar and what exactly felt familiar
“Do you want to pretend Do you understand this Don’t think that saying you’re familiar with it can conceal your inability to appreciate it.” Princess Nanguang said in disdain at this moment.
Miss wanted to retort but someone spoke before her, which made her feel very comfortable. It was as if she had eaten honey and only the Third Miss of House Nanguang could make her feel like this.
The third miss shook her head and said: "No, it is indeed somewhat familiar; Mo Yu didn’t lie!"
"What’s familiar Music" Princess Nanguang was also listening to the music. She had heard that tune before so she thought they were talking about this.
“Not just that. It's not merely the music, but a feeling! Although this music is 'Laugh at the Vast Sea', I've played it too but haven't succeeded; I lack the technique to play it well and am still practicing!" The third miss said. She naturally heard about this elder when she came here, or even if she hadn’t, she had seen these instruments in the night market while walking with Miss Mo Yu.
“You can’t do it yet, but he can” Miss was somewhat surprised; in her eyes, the third miss of House Nanguang was the strongest talent and expert in music.
"Hm, this person can play it perfectly. The techniques he possesses are beyond my reach." The third miss nodded to answer, although she spoke, most of her mind remained immersed in the music.
With their cultivation levels, whether scholarly or martial, they were much better than ordinary people when it came to state of mind; they could focus on multiple things at once. Even if Xianyao's music made them lose themselves, they could still do other things.
"But why does this feeling seem so familiar to me The sense isn’t about the music but the feel of this sound…" Third Miss muttered.
“That’s right. Why would I have such a feeling You don't find it strange, but I do!” Miss said nodding her head; she hadn’t encountered much music compared to the third miss, who might have heard this person before, but not her.
"Eh, wait!" Miss seemed to recall something. "The only person who is stronger than you that I’ve seen is—"
“Little servant boy!” At this moment, Princess Nanguang also recalled it; the only person who was a little better than the third miss and who they were all familiar with could be none other than Little Servant Boy.
"Hm, that’s right. It must be Xianyao; this is his style of playing music. Furthermore, he surpasses anyone I’ve seen in terms of musical expertise. He really can play this tune!" The third miss said.
"You're right, he does know a lot of random stuff. Should we go over there now" the Miss asked, although she originally wanted to charge over but didn't want to disturb Xianyao's performance; it wasn't out of fear of public outrage, as someone who dominated Qingyun City, that was clearly not something she would be afraid of.
The only reason she did not want to disturb him was because he was performing!!
"No, let's wait until after we're done listening before we say anything. Don't interrupt him!" The Third Miss of the Southern Palace immediately said.
“Yes, let’s talk about it after listening! By the way, how did this little servant boy suddenly appear here He wasn’t supposed to come back here,” Nangong Suxin said with a hint of puzzlement in her voice.
"Why can't he Isn't wandering around a random place all over the world still considered roaming" The Miss replied indifferently.
“You’re really foolish, his purpose for roaming the world is to gain experience. Naturally, he would go somewhere he hasn’t been before! This place is Qingyun City, where he has lived for twenty years and knows everything there is to know about it. There’s no way he could learn anything new here!” Nangong Suxin responded with a somewhat irritated tone. Sometimes the Miss was just lazy; she didn't like thinking too deeply about things, especially now that she had her younger sister.
"That's true. Then why did he come back" The Miss asked, being thoroughly lazy.
“There must be a reason for him to come back here, it’s not like he specifically came back just to see someone!” Nangong Suxin replied.
"What reason could there be" the Miss continued asking.
Nangong Suxin rolled her eyes at the Miss and said with an irritated tone: “If I knew, I would have told you. You need to ask the little servant boy yourself.”
“So you don’t know I thought you knew everything! If you don’t know, there’s no point in pretending that you do!” The Miss said sarcastically.
"..."
“Don’t argue anymore. Listen carefully; this is a rare opportunity. Xianyao wouldn't play just for anyone else. The chance to hear him play like this is very rare, don't miss it!” the Third Miss of the Southern Palace said.
The three girls did not make any move to appear in front of Xianyao and instead remained among the crowd listening quietly, just like everyone else.
If they had appeared, Xianyao would definitely stop playing. He already had enough instruments; he didn't need all of them.
However, if no one interrupted him, he would continue to play…
Everyone hoped that Xianyao would continue to play on and on, they felt their souls were being elevated to a level they had never experienced before. This moment was one they would never forget for the rest of their lives; it was an experience they cherished deeply.
The only thing was, this moment couldn't last forever, Xianyao wouldn’t continue playing indefinitely, even if he could.
“Great, very good, excellent, extremely great!!”
It took a long time for someone to finally speak up after Xianyao finished his performance. The voice came from the old man who gave an evaluation that he had never given before.
After the old man spoke, others also woke up and started clapping and cheering, filling the night air of Qingyun City with loud sounds. Some people thought a major incident had happened due to this misunderstanding.
Among them were conflicts that arose from this misunderstanding, including two empire representatives who attended the meeting thinking someone was trying to attack them at an opportune moment, leading to a clash.
"Can I buy these instruments now" Xianyao asked.
“Of course. But there's something you can do for me…,” the old man said as he noticed that Xianyao was completely ignoring him and counting money instead.
The young man, “Young Brother, did you hear me If you help me with this matter, I'll give these instruments to you.” The old man spoke in a friendly tone.
Xianyao remained unmoved. He counted the money and handed it over to the old man before saying: "Here is the payment for the instruments; they belong to me now! And yes, I heard what you said, but if I can buy something with these coins, why would I want to do something troublesome"
“…” The old man fell silent. Indeed, problems that could be solved by money didn’t need other solutions.
“Haha, when one gets older, they become a bit senile! Sorry about that; I’m in a hurry. I just want you to do something for me; it’s very simple and only you can do it.” The old man said again.
"Sorry, but I have important things to take care of. Can't help," Xianyao shook his head, refusing straightforwardly.(To be continued)d to unintended consequences!"…… Lady大小姐 didn't speak, as such situations only served to heighten the sense of gravity in the matter.……"You should also know something about...
