Chu Chen slowly walked out of the alley and entered an open field. What entered his eyes was a verdant and lush land.
The Fantasy Spirit City was built on a mountain. This was the back mountain of the Fantasy Spirit City.
There weren't any buildings around, but there was a pavilion in the distance with green stone tiles.
Seeing the few female cultivators speeding up towards the pavilion, Chu Chen knew that it should be the place where the zither master learned the zither.
When he arrived at the pavilion, Chu Chen found that there were already more than twenty cultivators who wanted to learn the zither.
There were men and women among them. There was even an old man with snow white hair and a face full of wrinkles. Although the old man looked old, his figure was tall and straight. His eyes were gentle. One look and one could tell that his cultivation was extraordinary.
Chu Chen was truly curious about the mysterious zither master who could make such a person come here to learn the zither.
The female cultivators had clearly noticed that Chu Chen, who had been tailing them, had also arrived here. Their eyes revealed a strong sense of disgust, and they deliberately adjusted their positions, only wanting to keep as far away from Chu Chen as possible.
Chu Chen was speechless. He could only smile bitterly.
He was inexplicably treated as a pervert.
The cultivators were scattered in twos and threes. Most of them didn't seem to know each other.
There weren't many female cultivators who came in groups like the other female cultivators.
Chu Chen observed the surroundings. He didn't find anyone in the crowd that looked like a zither master. The zither master shouldn't have arrived yet.
At this moment, a purple robed young cultivator walked out of the crowd. He first gestured for everyone to be quiet. Then he opened his mouth to speak.
"Since everyone is here, I presume you're all here to learn the zither. Since we have the same goal, let's all sit down first. Behave yourselves so as to not offend the great zither master. "
This purple robed cultivator was handsome. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He had a tall and straight figure. He looked like a talented young elite.
He arranged for everyone to sit around the pavilion in an orderly manner. He looked very capable.
"The zither dao is an elegant dao. A true zither master needs to burn incense and bathe before playing the zither. Nowadays, the Small Celestial Realm is in a mess. Although we don't pay much attention to it, we still have to follow the rules. This is what Qin Master dislikes the most. "
The purple-robed man seemed to have become the spokesperson of the zither master.
After settling everyone down, he looked at the male cultivators in the crowd with a serious expression. "There is one thing that I must remind everyone. Since everyone is here to learn the zither, learn it well and don't have any improper thoughts. Otherwise, if you anger the musician, I, Duan Qing, will be the first to object. "
The expressions of the young male cultivators on the west side suddenly became somewhat awkward.
Hmm?
These words came out of nowhere, and Chu Chen was confused at first.
Didn't he come here to learn the guqin? What other improper thoughts could he have?
But looking at the awkward appearances of these young male cultivators, they really did have the suspicion of flirting. Could it be that the zither master was a beauty?
After the purple-robed man's warning, the young female cultivators in the crowd all turned to look at the surrounding male cultivators with vigilant gazes.
In the crowd, a young cultivator in a profound yellow robe was about to sit down, but when he heard this, he suddenly stood up. This cultivator could be considered handsome, but his slender eyes carried a bit of arrogance.
He was completely different from the purple-robed man with a serious expression. They were people from two different worlds.
"Brother Duan, I don't like what you're saying. You speak so righteously. However, the zither master's Deep Spring Falling Moon in the market stunned everyone. She has the beauty of a celestial immortal. What's wrong with us young men falling in love with her? "
The Dark Yellow cultivator sneered as he looked at the purple-robed cultivator called Duan Qing. "You told us not to have any improper thoughts, but you're acting on your own here. You even consider yourself as the zither master's assistant. You're the one who's trying to get close to her.
As soon as the Profound Yellow cultivator spoke, the young male cultivators on the side immediately began to whisper to each other.
"So only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people aren't allowed to set fires. This brat wants to dominate Miss Qin Master."
"He has ulterior motives!"
"Pretending to be serious but really chasing after girls, I've seen many."
"Shut up!"
Duan Qing's eyes flashed and his voice was like thunder, shaking the young cultivators until their legs went soft.
Duan Qing's cultivation was at the peak of the Spirit River Realm and was considered the strongest among the people present. The young cultivators with low cultivation were immediately silent after being reprimanded by him.
Duan Qing's gaze was like a blade as he swept his gaze over the arrogant yellow-robed man. "Ouyang Yun, don't talk nonsense!"
The arrogant yellow-robed cultivator called Ouyang Yun sneered and didn't say anything.
Duan Qing flicked his sleeve and cupped his hands. "The zither master is peerless and won't casually teach someone who is not fated to play the zither. This is an extremely rare opportunity. I've already received the zither master's approval to coordinate here, so I'm the zither master's assistant. If you, Ouyang Yun, are not convinced, then feel free to leave."
"Assistant, you're so mighty. I'm a natural zither genius. Whether I leave or not, it's not up to you."
Ouyang Yun opposed him with equal harshness, not showing any signs of weakness.
Hearing this, Chu Chen finally understood. The zither master was indeed a heavenly beauty. She hadn't even arrived yet, but this group of young cultivators were already competing with each other.
Duan Qing clearly didn't have the authority to chase them away, so he tossed Ouyang Yun aside and continued to maintain order.
At this time, there were still cultivators coming to the mountain one after another. In the blink of an eye, there were more than thirty people who came to learn the zither.
After Duan Qing arranged everyone, he looked around and whispered to a blue-robed child beside him. "The number of people is almost enough. If there are more, this pavilion will become crowded and chaotic."
The blue-robed child cupped his hands and left the pavilion. It seemed like he was returning to the market to inform them that the registration time had passed and that they were forbidden to come up the mountain again.
The group of cultivators sat like this, waiting for the zither master to arrive.
Time passed quickly. From morning to afternoon in the blink of an eye, the zither master still hadn't appeared.
Some cultivators couldn't wait any longer and began to discuss spiritedly.
"Where's the zither master?"
"Didn't she say that she would personally teach everyone the zither? Why hasn't she come out yet?"
"Could it be that the zither master has something to do and can't come?"
"The zither master is famous throughout the continent. I knew that she wouldn't easily accept disciples. Sure enough …"
At this time, Duan Qing stood up again and signaled for everyone to be quiet.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. Listen to me first. The zither master will indeed personally teach you the zither, but not everyone here is qualified to receive her guidance."
When Duan Qing said this, the group of cultivators immediately became excited.
"Who doesn't know this? But how will the qualifications be determined? You have to tell us!"
"Let's set it early. Those who aren't qualified can leave early. Everyone's time is very precious."
"Why does the zither master always have to give everyone a chance to be interviewed!"
Duan Qing signaled for everyone to be quiet again. After everyone's voices died down, he spoke again.
"It's very simple to become the master's disciple. You just have to be able to play the zither!"
