"My teacher is a genius!"
Li Ziqi lifted her chin, feeling incomparably proud.
Si ~
The little sunny egg's words caused the countless great teachers present to be dumbfounded. They subconsciously glanced toward the spectator stands of the Great Tang Empire.
Sun Mo had once again refreshed everyone's understanding.
After all, Sun Mo had never displayed his zither skills before others.
"Just this?"
Li Guinian felt that Li Ziqi was brushing him off. Hence, his voice was filled with dissatisfaction. "I've been learning since I was young and have bitterly cultivated the zither for 16 years. I only became a Music Saint after 30 years. This speed is already very fast."
Li Ziqi shrugged. (Since you don't believe me, what can I do?)
Li Guinian wanted to say more but was interrupted by King Qi.
"What kind of songs are you playing?"
King Qi was curious.
From the attitude of this country's monarch, he could tell that the status of the Music Saint was really too low.
Li Guinian sat down dejectedly.
After all, the only achievement he could be proud of was becoming a Music Saint. However, Sun Mo didn't care about it at all.
If it was someone else, if their zither skills were high, they would definitely think of ways to display it.
“despair!”
"Exodus!"
“despacito！”
"Together with the Orchid!"
"Kikujiro's Summer!"
"Cloud Palace Swift Sound!"
"Flying Wild Bee!"
Li Ziqi reported the name of the song.
"Eh? Why are there seven? "
King Qi didn't understand. "You clearly only played six songs!"
"Your Majesty, the last song that sounded like a bee buzzing, although it only lasted for a short ten breaths, it should also be a song!"
The grand tutor interjected.
"Ah? Such a short song can be considered a song? "
King Qi was shocked.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the song is short. It's that I played it too fast!"
Li Ziqi smiled and explained to everyone, "It's called Flying Wild Bee. It's used to train one's hand speed!"
Actually, it was just showing off her skills!
If she didn't have the augmentation from Grand Hope Sound, she wouldn't be able to play so fast.
"It's an excellent song, but it's a little like the zither!"
The Empress teased as she looked at the burning zither. "What a waste of a famous zither!"
"Your Majesty, you are wrong. This zither will be recorded in the history of music because of today's zither duel. You should know that this is the birth of the grand occasion of 'Great Melody Lacks Sound'!"
The Grand Tutor laughed. "There have been so many Five Nation Mock Battles, but most of them have been forgotten. However, this year's Mock Battles are destined to be recorded in the annals of history with just this battle. The name of our Qi Nation will naturally be basking in the glory."
Why?
This was because the music would be passed down from generation to generation. As long as someone listened to it, they would know the origins of these seven songs and eventually become allusions.
"That's right. Even that Broken Bowstring 'Seeking A Phoenix For A Phoenix' has benefited from it."
Li Guinian sighed.
"That's right, although these songs are nice, why are they so strange?"
King Qi smacked his lips. "Who made them?"
"It's my master!"
Li Ziqi reported.
Everyone looked at Sun Mo once again.
"As expected of God Hands. I didn't expect his musical talent to be so high as well!"
King Qi praised.
"Your Majesty, you've misunderstood. I obtained these songs from a ruin in the darkness!"
Although no one would know that he had borrowed someone else's work in this world, he still couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.
(Sigh!)
(As expected, my moral integrity is full.)
"Great Teacher Sun, there's no need to be humble. Your brilliant disciple can perform these songs so excellently. I'm sure you must have grasped the essence of it to be able to teach such a genius."
King Qi praised, "Men, reward him greatly!"
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
Li Ziqi hesitated a little but still decided to speak.
"Speak!"
King Qi was very amicable.
"Sister True Jade's songs are decisive, courageous, and have the heroism of a man. Brother Xiang Zhao's skills have already reached the grandmaster level. If it wasn't for Lingering Sound, Great Melody Lacks Sound, and these famous songs, I wouldn't be able to match up to him."
Li Ziqi smiled warmly.
"Little sister Ziqi, you don't have to be humble."
Xiang Zhao touched his nose. It felt quite good to be praised by a beautiful great teacher!
"His Highness Wei Wuan tampered with the musical instrument in order to win, but he didn't do anything evil. It's understandable. However, Xia Taikang, your method is truly despicable."
At the end, Li Ziqi pointed directly at Xia Taikang and spoke in a strict tone.
Everyone's gossipy hearts were instantly hooked.
What?
There was an accident?
One must know that Li Ziqi's tone was already very impolite.
"Ziqi, enough!"
Li Xiu hurriedly stopped her. Since they had already won, there was no need to complicate matters. After all, Xia Country was the strongest country in the Nine Provinces, and Xia Taikang was destined to become the next emperor. It was best not to offend him easily.
"Aunt, I'm a great teacher and my teacher often taught me that I have to be upright. When I encounter injustice, I have to shout it out. If not, how can I be a role model?"
Li Ziqi pursed her lips.
"What did he do?"
A great teacher asked, wanting to watch a commotion.
"Xia Taikang, you used an ancient forbidden blood sacrifice technique to refine the soul of a music grandmaster into a zither. Aren't you a little too inhumane?"
After Li Ziqi finished speaking, a series of exclamations rang out.
Many people's hairs stood up. They looked at the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix Zither and felt their scalps turning numb at the thought of refining a living person into it. In this hot summer, they felt their entire bodies turning cold.
Wasn't this too cruel?
"No wonder I felt that there was something wrong with this zither!"
Li Guinian was enlightened.
Qi King frowned. "Taikang, what do you have to say?"
"When someone offered this zither to me, the soul of a music saint was already imprinted on it. What has this got to do with me?"
Xia Taikang explained.
Si ~
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
As expected, there was a soul, and it was the soul of a music saint?
However, Xia Taikang's suspicions were also cleared.
The audience asked themselves if they would use such a treasure if they had it.
"Wait a minute, doesn't this mean that Ziqi won against a music saint?"
The Empress was dumbfounded.
"You can't calculate it like this. A music saint's blood sacrifice is a famous zither, and the music played by his soul should be a little inferior compared to when he was alive!"
The grand teacher analyzed. He was a secondary saint and had this knowledge.
"That's already very impressive!"
The Empress praised.
"Your words can only deceive ignorant people!"
Li Ziqi spoke in disdain. This Phoenix Seeking Phoenix Zither was very famous. Why hadn't she heard of it before? There was a music saint's soul on it?
"Ziqi, that's enough. Come back!"
Sun Mo stopped her.
Such a matter couldn't be explained clearly. Also, no one would uphold justice because no one wanted to offend the crown prince of a country.
"Roger, Teacher!"
Li Ziqi accepted the order. After taking a few steps, she looked at Xia Taikang again. "I'll give you one last sentence. Music is for the sake of making the world more beautiful, filling it with warmth. This is what my teacher said. Please enjoy it seriously and don't take the wrong path."
Bzz!
Priceless Advice was activated.
Li Ziqi's body was enshrouded in golden light. Resplendent motes of light danced in the air, making her look like a fairy.
Xia Taikang clenched his fists tightly. His eyes stared fixedly at Li Ziqi.
(She actually dares to lecture me?)
(I must make her die!)
"Tyrannical. Not only did she win, but she even guided her opponent. What a show-off!"
Xiang Zhao was envious. He also wanted to become a great teacher.
It was a pity that this occupation required talent. If one comprehended self-taught, they would never have a chance again.
"The first round of the debate has ended. The Great Tang Empire is victorious. The second round will begin tomorrow morning!"
After the ceremonial officer announced the result, the spectators dispersed.
"Your highness!"
When the old servant saw Xiang Zhao returning, he immediately came over to welcome him.
"Luckily, I didn't cheat. Otherwise, I would have lost both the match and the situation!"
Xiang Zhao sighed. Actually, he had also prepared a trump card. It was a type of Divine Illusion Fragrance. When used together with his zither skills, it could cause people to unknowingly become intoxicated.
"Yeah, that Sun Mo's judgment is too strong!"
The old servant also sighed. He didn't believe that Li Ziqi would have such knowledge. Sun Mo must have told her.
Why wasn't it Han Cangshui?
If it was him, he would definitely not allow Li Ziqi to be in the limelight. If not, where would Li Xuan's face be?
...
"Teacher, I won!"
Li Ziqi returned to the spectator stand and immediately ran up to Sun Mo like a little student waiting for praise.
"Well done!"
Sun Mo rubbed the little sunny egg's head.
"That Jiang Yuzhen's song is actually a type of cultivation art. Luckily, she took the initiative to forfeit. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to deal with her."
Han Cangshui commented. He didn't want others to feel that he was too useless.
"My eldest martial sister knows the Great Melody Desolation Technique. Who cares what cultivation art it is, just finish it all off!"
Lu Zhiruo boasted.
"That's right!"
Xianyu Wei chimed in and nodded furiously.
"We have only won the first round. Everyone, don't be careless!"
Li Xiu reminded, "Let's go all out tomorrow and win the chess battle!"
Everyone was preparing to return to the hotel, but King Qi took the initiative to come over.
"Great Teacher Sun, I have prepared a lunch banquet. Please do me the honor of coming!"
King Qi invited.
Han Cangshui was so angry that his lips twitched.
In theory, his star-level should be higher, but King Qi spoke to Sun Mo first. Didn't this mean that his status wasn't high enough?
"Many thanks for Your Majesty's hospitality!"
Sun Mo actually didn't want to go, but he couldn't reject the invitation of a major character of this level.
"Princess Xiu, Great Teacher Han, Prince Consort Qi, if you are not busy, why don't you come as well?"
King Qi invited.
"I won't be going. I have to prepare for the chess battle tomorrow!"
Han Cangshui only thought about this in his heart. In the end, he still smiled and agreed to King Qi.
Everyone in the Great Tang's envoy group had a share. All of them followed Sun Mo to the lunch banquet.
However, after the meal, King Qi and the Empress left with Sun Mo.
"Will there be any problems?"
Xianyu Wei was worried.
"Heh, isn't it obvious? King Qi covets Teacher's God Hands!"
Qin Yaoguang's lips twitched.
...
In the Nurturing Peace Palace, King Qi had already stripped naked and was lying on a cushion.
"Great Teacher Sun, how is it?"
King Qi felt trepidation.
"There are no major problems, but there are many minor ones. This is especially so for tonics. You should eat less of them!"
Sun Mo diagnosed.
When the Empress heard this, her face turned red.
"I am the emperor. If I can't even do such a small thing, what's the point of living?"
King Qi was unhappy. After he spoke, he realized that his tone wasn't right and hurriedly explained, "Great Teacher Sun, I'm not targeting you. I'm just angry that my body isn't living up to expectations. Do you have any methods to help me resolve this? I will definitely thank you greatly! "
"It can be treated!"
How could Sun Mo let go of a chance to farm favorable impression points? In any case, there wasn't anything that couldn't be solved with a massage. If there was, he would just massage it a second time!
The ancient massage technique was so sharp!
