Yang Xiyun and Murong Xuan sat together, whispering into each other's ears as if they were very close.
When the others saw that, they were very annoyed.
One by one, they went up onto the stage to showcase their guqin skills, hoping to attract Yang Xiyun's attention and win her heart back.
"Good, good. This High Mountain Tune is really profound."
"Violinist Lin's skill has improved by another level."
One of the musicians walked down from the stage and looked towards Yang Xiyun's direction.
However, she only glanced at him out of politeness before she turned around and continued her conversation with Murong Xuan.
That musician was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
Not far away, Chu Kuangren, Shang Qingxue, and Feng Yaorao were sitting at a table.
"Brother Chu, what do you think of Musician Lin's performance just now?" Feng Yaorao asked casually. She simply wanted to talk to Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren was silent for a while before he said, "How should I put it? It was alright I guess."
When he said that, Shang Qingxue, who was beside him, had been paying attention to the changes in Chu Kuangren's expression. When she saw that he was silent for a while before he answered, she could basically conclude that the Sect Leader did not even listen to what he said just now.
In fact, it was almost the same.
Other than Yang Xiyun, who was at the beginning, the others' guqin skills were not worth his attention at all.
It was too rough.
He could not understand why these people would cheer so passionately. Was that guqin music that nice to listen to??
However, he also understood that his cultivation realm was not on the same level as these people, so he could not use his own standards to judge others. Hence, he did not make any excessive comments and only said that it was alright. That was already the most lenient he could give them.
However, his self-proclaimed leniency was seen as perfunctory in the eyes of the others.
Everyone frowned, but didn't say anything.
Then, another person went up onto the stage to showcase his guqin skills.
When the song ended, the entire hall cheered.
"Brother Chu, what do you think of this song?" Feng Yaorao asked again.
"It was alright I guess."
'Alright again?? '
'Damn, this guy is quite arrogant. '
The crowd thought to themselves as they looked at Chu Kuangren with hostility.
"By the way, Li Daozi, why don't you go up and play a song to broaden everyone's horizons?"
At this moment, a musician suggested.
Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at Li Changyin.
Even Yang Xiyun was no exception.
Meanwhile, Murong Xuan also looked towards where Li Changyin and the others were. When he saw Chu Kuangren and Shang Qingxue, his eyes instantly widened.
"Sect Leader!!"
Murong Xuan could not help but cry out in surprise.
Chu Kuangren looked at him with a gloomy gaze. "You've finally noticed me, the Sect Leader."
Everyone looked at the two of them in surprise.
Yang Xiyun's eyes lit up when she saw Chu Kuangren. She said to Murong Xuan, "Brother Murong, is this the Sect Leader you've been talking about?"
"Not bad."
Yang Xiyun nodded and bowed to Chu Kuangren. "Greetings, Sect Leader Chu. My name is Yang Xiyun."
He didn't call him Fellow Daoist, but Sect Master. It was a little respectful, as if he was meeting a parent.
Chu Kuangren smiled. "You're welcome, Goddess Yang."
"Sect Leader, why are you guys here?" Murong Xuan asked curiously.
"This is a bit of a long story."
"If that's the case, let's wait until the banquet is over. We're here to make friends with the guqin, not to listen to you guys reminisce."
One of the guqin musicians said unhappily.
Chu Kuangren and Murong Xuan both glanced at that person, but they did not say anything.
"Then I shall go up first." Li Changyin smiled. He then went up the stage and took out a guqin.
According to the information, this person was an expert in all kinds of musical instruments.
However, no matter how good he was, there was still one instrument that he was best at, and that was the guqin.
Li Changyin smiled at the crowd elegantly. Then, he began to play with all ten of his fingers.
In an instant, guqin music poured out and reverberated in the air.
The crowd could not help but be mesmerized by the guqin music.
Even a musical Daoist Master like Yang Xiyun could not help but be impressed.
When the song ended, the crowd was still immersed in the music.
"Good, very good!"
"As expected of Li Daozi. This song is enough to go down in the history of music."
"This song is not inferior to the one that Lady Yang played earlier. In fact, it's even more profound."
As usual, the crowd complimented Li Changyin even more than before.
Li Changyin's song instantly made it sound like there was nothing in the world.
Chu Kuangren was dumbfounded. 'Is it really that good?'
"Brother Chu, what do you think?" Feng Yaorao asked.
"It's alright."
Chu Kuangren admitted that Li Changyin's guqin music was much better than the others, but to him, it was still only alright.
His guqin music was the same as the others. It had not reached a qualitative change.
"Pfft, I thought he was some musical Daoist expert. Turns out he's just a tone-deaf person who knows nothing about music."
One of the musicians said with disdain in his eyes.
The others also thought that Chu Kuangren knew nothing about musical Daoism.
Otherwise, why would he give the same evaluation every time?
"Li Daozi's guqin skills are obviously better than the others, but he still gave the same evaluation. It seems like he has no interest in musical Daoism at all."
"That's right. I guess he doesn't even know how many strings there are on the guqin."
"Forget it. He's just a layman. There's no need to argue with him."
The crowd laughed for a while before they ignored him.
In their opinion, they were professionals, and discussing the art of the zither with a layman was simply an insult to their culture.
"Brother Chu, aren't you going to show off your skills?"
Feng Yaorao, who was beside Chu Kuangren, said. She was a little annoyed to see the crowd looking down on Chu Kuangren.
The others might not know, but how could she, who had fought with Chu Kuangren before, not know?
Chu Kuangren knew how to play the guqin.
Moreover, he was an expert. That Eight Celestial Demonic Chords was still fresh in her memory.
"Heh, there's no need. Besides, I don't have a guqin with me." Chu Kuangren shook his head.
His expression was calm. He did not care about the gossip of the crowd.
These people treated him like a layman, but he treated them like a bunch of frogs in a well.
He would not easily show off his musical skills.
Besides, not many people in this world were qualified to listen to his guqin music.
He couldn't be bothered to go on stage to show off just because of a few words of gossip.
"Alright." Feng Yaorao did not say anything else.
However, at that moment, the crowd turned their attention to Murong Xuan.
"This Brother Murong here has a close relationship with Lady Yang. I'm sure he has some attainments in musical Daoism. I wonder if you can show us?"
A white-robed musical cultivator said.
Compared to Chu Kuangren, Murong Xuan, who had stolen Yang Xiyun's heart, was undoubtedly more likely to be hated by these people.
"I'm not good with music," Murong Xuan said honestly.
"Brother Murong, you must be joking. Are you looking down on us and thinking that we're not qualified to listen to your music?"
The white-robed musical cultivator's tone changed and became a little aggressive towards the end.
"If this is considered looking down on us, then you're really too insignificant."
At that moment, an indifferent voice was heard.
