Chapter 565 - 467: The Singing Lady's Surprise (First Update)
"How about it? Do you dare to challenge?"
Xu Wenting looked towards Yang Tian.
Throughout her journey, she encountered various men, and without exception, they all showed a fervent desire towards her.
But Yang Tian was different; he rudely grabbed Xu Wenting's wrist as soon as he jumped up.
Originally, Xu Wenting was curious about Yang Tian, thinking he was different from other men. But to her surprise, Yang Tian accused her of being a Celestial Demon.
"Challenge? Of course!"
Yang Tian nodded.
For some reason, Yang Tian sensed the aura of a Celestial Demon from Xu Wenting, but upon closer observation, he couldn't definitively say Xu Wenting was the Celestial Demon.
To understand more, it's best to delve deeper!
"Where did this guy pop out from? He should take a look at himself; he actually wants to challenge the world's number one Singing Lady? Isn't that courting death?"
"Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, poetry—what isn't she proficient in?"
"She's been trained in these since she was five; this man is simply unaware of the heights of the sky!"
"But it's good, treating the Singing Lady so crudely will make him cry rivers of tears!"
The discussions among the crowd were full of ridicule and cold laughter.
But the group of rouge women surrounded Yang Tian, pulling at him and constantly encouraging him: "Young Master, don't be afraid, you are fighting for the truth, even if you lose, you have our hearts!"
Upon hearing this, the men at Yihong Courtyard exclaimed: "What's going on here? No matter win or lose, this guy can play for free in the future?"
"Play for free? That's too vulgar. We are noble maidens from prestigious families; only a young scholar like Young Master would win our admiration. It's not about playing; it's love. Whenever Young Master needs, we can always accompany!"
This truly stirred the crowd.
"Damn, this guy's in luck!"
"He certainly can't beat the Singing Lady; there's only one outcome: losing! When he loses, he'll have all the women of Yihong Courtyard!"
"Damn him! When he loses, we'll rush up and trample him to death!"
Amidst the crowd's discussions, Yang Tian stepped onto the stage.
"Yang, come down quickly, let me explain for you!"
Li Xian was anxious when he saw Yang Tian really about to perform.
However, Yang Tian was very calm: "Li, don't worry, I have my own judgment!"
For some reason, in Yang Tian's mind, the Power Seal reacted.
Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to probe into it, feeling the Power Seal condensing into notes.
This made Yang Tian somewhat excited.
Could it be that the Power Seal can not only heal Li Xian's illness but also be used to play beautiful music?
He knew clearly, a Singing Lady like Xu Wenting is second only to Wu Zetian in the Great Tang, wanting to defeat her in her proficient fields is absolutely impossible, unless there is another ace up his sleeve.
"Yang, we don't argue with women..."
Li Xian tried to persuade Yang Tian, but Xu Wenting already calmly said: "Mr. Li, your affairs, Mother has told me, you can be my first guest tonight, but now, I want you to help prove my innocence!"
The beauty spoke, and Li Xian could only nod.
"Start, you lose, and we will rush up and trample you!"
The crowd below the stage shouted at Yang Tian.
Yang Tian coldly smiled, approached the guqin, and lightly brushed his hands over the strings, producing a series of irregular notes. Yang Tian listened, feeling somewhat excited, as he had never played a guqin before; then, he began to play chaotically on the guqin.
A series of guqin sounds emerged.
And those listening frowned, unable to hold back from cursing: "Damn, this idiot! Can he even play the guqin? Is this how one plays the guqin? Ridiculous!"
Xu Wenting's eyes showed a trace of smugness.
She naturally knew Yang Tian was an outsider to this art.
Li Xian also awkwardly looked aside, acting as if he didn't know Yang Tian.
The rouge women, originally expectant, were disappointed seeing Yang Tian's skill: "Originally hoping he could drive Xu Wenting away, but don't think about it, his guqin skills show he hasn't practiced!"
Amid the crowd's ridicule, Yang Tian calmly sat down.
In his mind, the Power Seal appeared.
Soon, these Power Seals condensed into a beautiful and melodious note; these notes were softly played out on the guqin through Yang Tian's fingers.
Instantly, a world-shocking music emerged.
"What's happening..."
Everyone froze there.
In front of music, there are no enemies or friends, only good or bad sound.
With Yang Tian playing this note, whether it was Li Xian, those mocking Yang Tian, or the disappointed rouge women, they were all moved by Yang Tian's music.
If the Singing Lady produced heavenly sounds, then Yang Tian's music was divine music.
This tune was played earth-shatteringly.
Everyone was immersed in the sound of the guqin, among the crowd, only Xu Wenting remained clear-headed, only now her clarity was due to astonishment and defeat.
In the music realm, Xu Wenting reached the pinnacle.
But in front of Yang Tian, she felt ashamed.
If correct, this tune Yang Tian played should be the divine tune she longed for.
She spent her life unable to touch even a corner of the divine music, but Yang Tian played it so fluently and beautifully.
None knew how long Yang Tian played; only when everyone at Yihong Courtyard came to their senses, Yang Tian had already finished.
Applause!
Quickly, a thunderous applause erupted at Yihong Courtyard.
First, the rouge women took the initiative to applaud, then those mocking Yang Tian followed suit, the entire Yihong Courtyard filled with an endless applause.
"Yang, I never thought you could play the guqin; this greatly exceeded my expectations!"
Li Xian was the first to congratulate Yang Tian.
Yang Tian gave a gentle smile; he knew clearly, all of this was the effect of his Power Seal.
He looked towards the Singing Lady, Xu Wenting saw her standing there with a disappointed face, and smiled inwardly, perhaps this so-called God's favored daughter would bow her proud head before the Power Seal?
Yang Tian only glanced at Xu Wenting, then ignored her.
Conversely, in his mind, the Power Seal gained another annual ring.
This annual ring was absorbed imperial power from Xu Wenting!
