"Memories of the Past … Good! Good name! " Wang Bo praised loudly. Then, he hurriedly stood up and bowed to the emperor. "Your Majesty, please forgive me for leaving first. If I don't memorize this song, I won't be able to sit still."
After saying that, he hurriedly left without waiting for Long Yin's reply. His aged body was running as if he was flying, scaring the attendants who were following closely behind him.
After watching Wang Bo leave, Long Yin turned around and carefully looked at Ye Wuchen. Then, he sighed and said with melancholy, "Today, I found out that I have been living in ignorance all these years. Only when I left the palace today did I know what a painting is and what a flute is. Starless, you're truly … a godly talent! "
"Your Majesty, you are exaggerating. Everything is according to Master's guidance. Without Master, there would be no Wuchen today, "Ye Wuchen replied. Then, he carefully put the jade flute into his sleeve. He had no intention of returning it to Hua Shuirou.
This action made Hua Zhentian's eyes widen. He said to his daughter, "My dear daughter, do you still want that flute? That brat actually wanted to take advantage of my daughter and keep it for himself. Look at me … he almost tricked me into crying. I feel so stifled and want to beat that brat up. "
"No, Father … Don't ask me, don't talk to me …" Hua Shuirou covered her tear-stained face and desperately shook her head. She felt that today … she had fallen. That's right, she had fallen. She had done too many things that she shouldn't have done and things that she wouldn't have dared to do in the past. And everything that happened was because of that person.
Hua Zhentian rubbed his head and softly muttered, "If you don't want to say it, then I won't say it."
"Haha, if it weren't for your great talent, even if your master was a genius, he wouldn't have been able to teach a disciple like you." He then turned to Lin Xiao and said, "Lin Xiao, your skill with the flute has really opened our eyes. We have never heard of it before. But today, Wuchen still wins this match. Are you convinced? "
When Ye Wuchen's "Memories of the Past" was halfway played, Lin Xiao was completely stunned, as if he had lost his soul. Because he knew that he had lost. He had lost again. Even the Xiao that he believed to be invincible … had actually lost.
Thinking of what he had said before he played the flute, his face turned pale. The xiao was half of his life, and he was not exaggerating. But now that he had lost, could it be that in this life, he had to give up this half of his life?
"Unless you have absolute confidence, don't bet your life for such an insignificant competition. Furthermore, it's a bet that doesn't have any returns. This is something only a fool would do … "Recalling what Ye Wuchen had said to him before, his heart trembled even more violently. It turned out that from the beginning, the flute skill that he was so proud of, the skill that no one could compete with him, was just a joke. That confident and arrogant statement was like a slap to his face once again.
What kind of person was he …
In the field, there were still a few people looking at him … Very few, really very few, and most of them were looking at him with pity, comfort, and sympathy. Even his father and grandfather were looking at him, their faces full of disbelief. It was as if they, like him, could not believe that such a person really existed.
Once, he was a dazzling star. No matter where he stood, he was so dazzling and eye-catching. Now, he was still a star, and even a little brighter, but he was a sun, completely covered by the light. Standing next to him, he was only left with shame.
Why, this was not a dream.
Since there was me, Lin Xiao, why did there have to be another Ye Wuchen!
"I am convinced! I, Lin Xiao, am convinced. In my twenty years of life, this is the first time I am so convinced by someone. From today onwards, the title of 'Sky Dragon's Number One Hero' and 'Sky Dragon's Number One Scholar' no longer belong to me, Lin Xiao, but to you — — Ye Wuchen. "
When he turned to Ye Wuchen, his face had become calm, and there was even a faint smile on his face. Ye Wuchen slightly raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself: Good self-restraint. But compared to that, I admire your patience more.
"Haha! Lin Xiao, although you have lost, you are still a rare young hero of Sky Dragon City, and even the whole Tianchen Continent. Your breadth of mind and breadth of mind are rare even for people like me who have experienced the vicissitudes of life. You are still the pride of Sky Dragon City. " Long Yin praised, and then he continued with a straight face, "But, I heard that you said that if you lose to Ye Wuchen, you will never play the flute again. This is not allowed! How can such an amazing talent like you be erased because of one sentence? Not only will I not allow it, but everyone in Tenryū Province will not allow it. So, I order you to always play the flute with you, and you must play it every day. If you do not allow it, I will punish you! "
Lin Xiao's expression froze, and then he was so excited that his whole body trembled. He suddenly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily in the direction of Long Yin, "Lin Xiao thanks Your Majesty for your grace! I, Lin Xiao, will remember every word Your Majesty has said! "
"Haha, good, get up. This is not the palace, so there is no need to kneel here and there. "
Lin Xiao got up, and his face was full of joy. Ye Wuchen secretly smiled, and thought: If I were the emperor, I would do the same. If I don't take advantage of such a big advantage, I will be an emperor for nothing.
Long Yin then turned to Ye Wuchen, and said with a smile, "Wuchen, your performance today really shocked me! At the same time, I am also very glad that if it wasn't for today's competition, if it wasn't for the appearance of this Dafeng man called Cold Cliffs, I would not have known that there was someone like you in Tenryū Province. I am greatly relieved. How can I let go of such a talent? I will confer you the title of third-class marquis. Come to the Great Heavenly Dragon Ceremony tomorrow morning!? "
Long Yin's words were like a big thunder on the scene … to be conferred the title of third-class marquis at such a young age? Was the emperor crazy?!
This was because even Ye Wuchen's father, Ye Wei, the well-known General of the Mighty Dragon, Ye Wei, was only a fifth-class marquis in name only. Although the title of marquis was only an empty title in Tenryū Province, and had no real power, it represented glory and the emperor's favor. It was a signboard that allowed one to do whatever they wanted no matter where they went. This third-class marquis title had surpassed many princes and ministers who had worked hard for their entire lives. This was because only the emperor's relatives could have the title of marquis.
"Your Majesty, this matter is slightly inappropriate," someone finally said. Everyone looked over and saw that it was the Minister of Civil Affairs, Yu Wenli.
"What's inappropriate?" Long Yin said with some displeasure.
Yu Wenli said, "Young Master Lin is a genius and the successor of the God of Swords. In this old subject's opinion, conferring him the title of first-class minister is not excessive. However, Ye Gongzi is too young, and he has not made any real contributions to Tenryū Province. Moreover, his father, General Ye, is only a fifth-class marquis. Once this title is announced, it will definitely attract a lot of criticism, which will be very detrimental to the imperial family's prestige. "
Everyone nodded in agreement. Everyone was convinced of Ye Wuchen's talent. However, if he were to recklessly appoint someone based on his talent while ignoring his experience and contributions, he would definitely attract dissatisfaction and criticism. Long Yin laughed heartily and said, "If we betroth our beloved daughter, Flying Phoenix, to Wuchen and marry her when she turns 16, would you still have any objections?"
As soon as these words were said, the surroundings became quiet again. The faces of the Lin family were ashen, while the Yeh family was overjoyed.
