The others stopped feeling jealous after realizing what this was about.

Instead, they all showed an interesting facial expression.

Jiang Chen wasn’t as embarra.s.sed as they had thought he would be. He

didn’t want to find a hole to hide himself because of shame.

He was just smiling bitterly.

He had indeed wondered what was so special about himself that Miss Tian

Ling was attracted to him, but it turned out he had been overthinking.

“Miss Tian Ling.”

Li Bai hurried to get to his feet. He said, “Young Master Wind’s seat belongs to

my good friend Lu Yuan. He can’t come because he has some other errands

to run. That’s how Young Master Wind ends up sitting there.”

However, in the pavilion, Miss Tian Ling didn’t give his word a d.a.m.n at all.

“My intention to establish the Civil and Martial Arts Inst.i.tute is to stay out of

the influence of forces, strong people and common views.”

“Your friend can’t come today. Tomorrow maybe someone’s friend will get

killed. If I allow this to happen every time, how will things end up?”

Many people agreed with her.

“But…” Li Bai was going to continue arguing.

“Li Bai! Don’t bring shame on the Heaven Martial Arts Club and Wing

Prefecture!”

Opposite to him, a man about 27 or 28 years old, sitting in his seat, scolded

him.

“Elder brother.”

Li Bai greeted him. Then he looked towards Jiang Chen helplessly, since

there was really nothing he could do.

Jiang Chen said, “Miss Tian Ling, you mean even if the seat owner isn’t

coming, the seat shouldn’t be taken by anyone else?”

“Cut the c.r.a.p! You wanna make Wing Prefecture a laughingstock? Just stand

aside!”

Li Bai’s elder brother said sternly.

“That is the rule,” Tian Ling added.

“By the way, Miss Tian Ling, you asked for my comment on your music

instead of driving me away in the first place. Can I interpret it in this way, that

if I had said something more impressive, you would have made a different

decision?”

Jiang Chen said, neither too humble nor too proud, ignoring Li Bai’s elder

brother.

“Exactly. But your first comment doesn’t count,” Tian Ling said.

“That’s right. That being said, if I’m supposed to comment on your music

seriously, will I be able to express everything in only one sentence?”

Jiang Chen nodded. If he had been behaving in a normal manner, what he

said next would astound everyone on the scene.

“The reason I couldn’t say what was so good about it is that it wasn’t good

enough.”

Tian Ling was such a prestigious person. It wasn’t hard to imagine how the

people were shocked by him.

Then the crowd flew into a rage.

“Li Bai, where did you find such an arrogant person?” Li Bai’s elder brother

said in anger.

“Miss Tian Ling, do you mind if it gets b.l.o.o.d.y here?”

At the same time, another person asked after rising to his feet.

Jiang Chen looked over and met his eyes, full of aggressiveness.

When their eyes had met, Jiang Chen knew immediately this guy wasn’t

simple. He must have some real stuff.

And this guy looked so familiar to him. He felt he had seen this guy

somewhere.

“Young Master Shenji is always so impressive.”

Someone’s murmur happened to resolve Jiang Chen’s puzzles.

This guy was Young Master Shenji from the Constellation Palace.

Jiang Chen had been feeling lucky in the morning that the Constellation

Palace was on the other side of Wing Prefecture. However, in the evening, he

was seeing Young Master Shenji here, but since he had known more about

the Civil and Martial Arts Inst.i.tute and Tian Ling, he didn’t feel too weird about

it.

Looking carefully at the rival he would confront in the t.i.tle Battle, Jiang Chen

felt he had made the correct decision to come here.

If he didn’t know how strong Young Master Shenji was, he was afraid he

wouldn’t even know how he would die in the battle.

He intuited that if they fought then, he would definitely lose!

Young Master Shenji was different from his younger brother Young Master

Xuanji.

They looked alike. Both of them looked proud.

He looked arrogant and unbridled with his black hair hanging down on his

shoulder.

However, Young Master Xuanji was so arrogant that he seemed a bit

r.e.t.a.r.ded, while he was different.

Young Master Shenji’s look became sharp immediately, as if he had perceived

the change in Jiang Chen’s look. He kept staring at the latter.

“What wasn’t good about it?”

Tian Ling didn’t answer Young Master Shenji. She asked Jiang Chen instead.

If she hadn’t even asked, Jiang Chen would be greatly disappointed by the

Civil and Martial Arts Inst.i.tute.

“It is impossible to use only one or two words to talk about music,” Jiang Chen

said.

“Dude, it’s enough. You didn’t say anything useful at all.”

“If other people hear about this, they will say there is a moron in the Civil and

Martial Arts Inst.i.tute in Wing Prefecture.”

“Can you just shut up?”

The folks of Wing Prefecture couldn’t help but swear. If Tian Ling weren’t

there, they could even have attacked Jiang Chen.

“Young Master Wind…” Even Li Bai shot him a nervous warning glance.

“Can I play something for miss so that you can make your own judgement?”

Jiang Chen said calmly, gazing at the pavilion. He wasn’t affected by other

people at all.

Those who had thought Jiang Chen a scoundrelly shut up immediately. They

showed a weird face.

The pavilion went into silence, and the silence lasted for some time.

Suddenly, a zither made of jade flew out of there. It swirled before Jiang Chen

and finally fell on the table.

“Please.” Tian Ling’s voice came.

Jiang Chen sat down in an elegant manner. He touched the strings gently with

his hands.

“It’s a great zither!”

He said approvingly after a short while.

However, no response came from the pavilion. The others were also skeptical

of what he had said.

Who knew whether Jiang Chen was playing any tricks?

Then, Jiang Chen placed his long delicate fingers on the two ends of the

zither. He suddenly looked like another person. His long hair blew gently.

Soon, he started to pluck the strings.

The tune sounded familiar. It was the one Tian Ling had played.

Leaving their disdain and scorn behind, everyone was listening to the music

calmly and peacefully.

At first, they were still reluctant to accept the fact that his music was so

soothing, but over time, when they had been really immersed in the music,

their facial expressions changed.

Some people couldn’t resist the attraction of the music anymore.

“No way!”

Out of the pavilion, those pretty women turned pale.

However, Jiang Chen was right there. He was moving his fingers skillfully. He

was so into his music. Every movement of his seemed full of charm.

When the music had stopped, the whole place was in silence. Even the fall of

a needle could be heard.

“Thank you for listening.”

Jiang Chen’s hands stopped moving. He touched the strings gently again.

He hadn’t played zither for 500 years. And this wasn’t his zither. As a result,

he wasn’t very satisfied with his performance.

However, it was good enough to impress those on the scene.

The thing was none of these people could tell who was better. They just

looked towards the pavilion silently.

Soon, Tian Ling got to her feet in the pavilion.

The women outside the pavilion pulled the curtain open right away.

Tian Ling came up to Jiang Chen’s table under many enthusiastic gazes.

Just as people knew, she was wearing a veil, so it was impossible to see her

face, but her fair soft skin and great figure were already impressive enough.

Tian Ling saluted to Jiang Chen. The crowd couldn’t believe what they had

seen.

“Young master, please don’t take what happened to the heart. I was so

shortsighted that I forgot there were always more excellent people out there,”

she said.

“Seriously?!”

The people on the scene found it hard to believe what they had heard.

“It’s just playing zither. Wasn’t she a bit exaggerating?” Some people didn’t

understand what had happened.

“It’s not just playing zither. Combined with the movement of wind, the music

was incorporated with the tune of wind.”

Someone saw through what the zither compet.i.tion was really about.

He said slowly, “If Miss Tian Ling managed to merge 90% of them, Jiang

Chen managed to merge 100% of them.”

His word made the crowd exclaim again.

Tian Ling didn’t refute. She agreed tacitly to his remark.

“It's never too late to mend.”

Facing Tian Ling’s apology, Jiang Chen said seriously.
