The old man's hair and beard were all white. He wore a very clean robe and stood at the entrance of the garden. His pair of turbid eyes stared at Gu Qingfeng in disbelief. He seemed to be quite excited, so excited that even the muscles at the corners of his mouth were slightly trembling.
"This old man has spent his entire life comprehending the famous song left behind by the Scarlet Firmament Sovereign King. As for this' Drunken Song of the Blue Sea ', this old man has heard many people play it. I have also played it countless times. Only when I heard Young Master play this song did I realize that there are mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens.
Incredible, truly incredible. "
When the little girl saw the old man, she ran over and affectionately called out, "Grandpa."
Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, "You flatter me."
"Flatter? No! This old man believes that I know a thing or two about music. When I heard Young Master play 'Drunken Song of the Blue Sea' just now, whether it was the finger technique or the control of the strings and rhythm, they were all excellent. The most amazing thing was that Young Master did not use a single spiritual art. He only played 'Drunken Song of the Blue Sea' and yet he was able to fully display the essence of the song. It was as if I was dreaming of ancient times and witnessed the various vicissitudes of life when King Chixiao lived in seclusion in the blue sea.
This old man said a lot of praise. Gu Qingfeng just sat there leaning against the pillar of the pavilion and smiled faintly. He was not modest anymore.
"Grandpa, this big brother … is he really so good?"
"He played 'Drunken Song of the Blue Sea' just now and he was able to fully display the essence of the song." The old man nodded and said with admiration, "This Young Master's musical attainment is so high … it is truly rare. This old man is ashamed of his inferiority." After that, the old man cupped his hands and asked, "May I know Young Master's name?"
Gu Qingfeng stood up and tidied up the melon seed shells on the table. He replied softly, "My surname is Gu, my first name is Qingfeng."
Gu Qingfeng?
The old man muttered this name and thought of all the musical prodigies he knew, but he did not have any impression of this name. It was not appropriate for him to ask in detail, so he cupped his hands and said, "Just now, I heard Young Master play 'Drunk on the Blue Sea' in the air. It really opened my eyes. I wonder if Young Master Gu would do me the honor of drinking a few cups."
"Let's have a few drinks …"
Gu Qingfeng pondered over the fact that he hadn't said goodbye to Ouyang Ye when he left. He wondered how the girl was doing. After thinking about it, he decided to forget about it and replied, "I would like to have a few drinks, but … I still have a friend waiting for me … Let's talk when we have the chance."
Gu Qingfeng walked over and ruffled the little girl's hair. He returned the guqin and said, "Little girl, continue practicing. Big Brother, I'll leave first."
Looking at Gu Qingfeng's back as he hurriedly left, the old man exclaimed, "I didn't expect to meet such a young man with such profound musical attainments here today."
"Grandpa, is this big brother's musical attainment really that amazing? Is your musical attainment really not as good as his? " The little girl had never heard her grandfather give such a high evaluation of someone. Even Big Sister Su'Er, whom she admired the most, had never been given such a high evaluation. She couldn't believe it. "Grandpa, aren't you exaggerating a little?"
"Grandpa isn't exaggerating at all. When he was playing just now, whether it was the finger technique or the strings, they were all amazing. Most importantly, he didn't use any spiritual arts. He was able to display the essence of the song just by playing it. This young man's musical attainment is definitely unfathomable. Grandpa may be exaggerating a little by saying that you're not as good as him."
"Ah … Then how does this big brother compare to Big Sister Su'Er?"
"This … Grandpa can't say for sure. Miss Su'Er is the world's musical prodigy. She is also the only expert who can play the mysterious songs of the King. As for Young Master Gu's musical attainment, Grandpa really doesn't know."
"By the way, Grandpa, when Jin Er was playing the song composed by Big Sister Su'Er, she kept making mistakes when playing the Three Leaves of Plum Blossom. But big brother taught me to change the finger technique and spiritual arts, and then … I played it very easily."
"Oh? There's such a thing? "
The old man took the music score, stroked his white beard, and looked at it carefully. The more he looked, the deeper his frown became. The more he looked, the more shocked he became. He quickly sat down in the pavilion and tried to play it. After he finished, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, but he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
"This song was composed by Miss Su'Er with great care. It can be said to be a perfect piece. It's normal that you couldn't play the Three Leaves of Plum Blossom just now. Firstly, your cultivation is not enough. Secondly, your musical attainment isn't at that level. You don't understand many of the complicated finger techniques and spiritual arts … But …"
"But I didn't expect that when I changed the Four String Minor Feather Technique to the Gentle Stroke Layering Technique, and then played it with the Three String Minor Recovery Technique, I could actually … actually play the Three Leaves of Plum Blossom … Not only did it not feel out of place … it seemed even more mysterious than before … This is simply … simply incredible!"
Perhaps because he was too excited, the old man couldn't speak coherently. He took a few deep breaths and sorted out his thoughts. Only then did he calm down and say, "That young master Gu's musical attainment is … perhaps even more unfathomable than grandfather imagined. Compared to Miss Su'Er, it can only be higher, not lower …"
"Last time, big sister Su'Er said that if she had time, she would come to this music festival …" The little girl said softly, "I wonder if big sister Su'Er will come … if she comes, I'll definitely let big sister meet that big brother."
"If Miss Su'Er found out that her song was even more mysterious than before, I wonder what she would think …"
The old man stroked his white beard, still unable to stop himself from sighing in amazement, "I wonder what sect that young master Gu is from. His musical attainment is simply incredible … incredible …"
…
After leaving the garden, Gu Qingfeng went back the way he came. Just as he returned to the bathing area, he saw Ouyang Ye pacing back and forth with her arms crossed. She looked very angry.
Obviously, the little girl was still angry. Gu Qingfeng quietly walked over and deliberately teased her. He asked, "Little sister, who are you waiting for?"
"Who are you!" Ouyang Ye glanced at Gu Qingfeng and coldly said, "This lady is annoyed, scram!"
Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Oh, you don't recognize me so quickly?"
Hmm?
What a familiar voice.
Ouyang Ye turned around and carefully looked at Gu Qingfeng. The more she looked, the more familiar he seemed. The little girl suddenly exclaimed, "You! You're Gu Qingfeng? "
"I thought you'd forgotten about me."
"You! Where did you run off to? Do you know I've been looking for you everywhere? "
"Where else could I have gone? I went to look for you." Gu Qingfeng yawned and stretched. He said, "You left me alone and then disappeared. I took a bath and waited for you for a while, but you didn't come, so I could only look for you."
"You! Humph! "
Ouyang Ye originally wanted to scold him fiercely, but after thinking about it, she blamed herself for not telling him clearly before she left.
"Forget it, I'll let you go this time, but …"
Ouyang Ye frowned and looked at Gu Qingfeng with a strange expression. As she looked, she commented, "I didn't expect you to be so handsome after bathing and changing clothes, but … why do I feel like something is wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
Gu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and stretched out his arms to look at himself. He didn't find anything wrong.
"It feels weird. I can't tell."
Ouyang Ye thought deeply. She always felt that Gu Qingfeng had a special feeling. How should she put it? It was like … a pool of stagnant water! Yes! It was like a pool of stagnant water. There was no vitality at all. However, this kind of lethargy was not like the old seniors who had cultivated for hundreds of years. It was more like a kind of quiet that made people feel very uncomfortable. To be exact, it was a kind of quiet that was very frightening.
It was like the quiet in the deep sea, and more like the terrible silence in the vast darkness.
Strange!
How could it be like this?
At this time, a shout came and interrupted her thoughts.
"Ye Ye, I've been looking for you for a long time. So you're here."
The one who responded was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. He had an extraordinary appearance, wearing a red robe and a green flame jade belt. At first glance, one could tell that he came from a big family. Whether it was between his eyebrows or his eyes, there was a kind of arrogance.
"Li Sen?"
When she saw the young man, Ouyang Ye's eyes flashed with a touch of disgust. She replied angrily, "Why are you here?"
"Today your aunt's villa is holding a music festival, and you and senior brother Yun Hong are going to play on the stage, so I came. I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Let's go together."
"No, you can go together."
Ouyang Ye looked at Gu Qingfeng and said, "Let's go."
"Ye Ye, who is he?"
The young man named Li Sen seemed to be very vigilant when he saw Gu Qingfeng.
"It's none of your business."
"Ye Ye …"
Li Sen was about to say something when Ouyang Ye turned around and said impatiently, "Li Sen, you're so annoying. When we were in the sect, you pestered me all day long. Why are you pestering me when we're out? So annoying!"
"Tell me, who is he?"
"I don't want to talk to you!"
Ouyang Ye pulled Gu Qingfeng and was about to leave.
Seeing Ouyang Ye holding the strange man's hand, Li Sen seemed to realize something. His eyes flashed and he shouted, "Ye Ye, is he the Childe Chiyan you said you fell in love with at first sight?"
"It's none of your business!"
"No! You have to tell me! "
Ouyang Ye was about to collapse. Since entering Yunxia School, this Li Sen had been pestering her for almost two years. She couldn't get rid of him like a dog skin plaster. She stared at Li Sen and said in disgust, "What do you want?"
"I just want to know who he is!" Li Sen's aura was fierce and aggressive like a sharp sword. He asked, "Is he the Childe Chiyan?"
"Okay! Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you! " Ouyang Ye grabbed Gu Qingfeng's arm and said angrily, "That's right, he's the Scarlet Flame Prince that I fell in love with at first sight. How about it, are you satisfied?"
"What!"
Li Sen was shocked and then shook his head. He said sternly, "Impossible! I have already investigated this matter. That Young Master Scarlet Flame you speak of is a dragon amongst men. His cultivation base is extremely high and he is involved in all ten of the Immortal Dao's Ten Arts. He is especially outstanding when it comes to music. If there is really such a person, why have I never heard of his name in the Azure Sun Region? "
"When did I tell you that the Childe Chiyan is from Qingyang Territory?" Ouyang Ye reached out and grabbed Gu Qingfeng's arm. From time to time, she would adjust Gu Qingfeng's belt and collar. She made a very intimate gesture, as if she wanted to provoke Li Sen. She said, "If he wasn't the Scarlet Flame Young Master that I fell in love with at first sight, do you think I would do this?"
"You!"
Li Sen was furious. He stared at Gu Qingfeng and shouted, "Are you really the Childe Chiyan?"
"Me?"
Gu Qingfeng looked at Ouyang Ye and Ouyang Ye secretly gave him a look. That look seemed to say, "Hey, cooperate with me."
Gu Qingfeng was quite speechless, but he did not refuse. After understanding, he straightened his body and pointed at Li Sen with a playful smile. He pretended to be arrogant and said arrogantly, "Yes, young man, I am the Childe Chiyan."
"How dare you steal my woman! You! You! Die! "
Looking at his sweetheart holding onto this man's arm, Li Sen was filled with anger. Even his voice was emitted through the gaps of his teeth as he coldly roared out each word!
"Who is your woman?! Li Sen, if you dare to say that again, don't blame me for not being polite to you! " Ouyang Ye snorted and said, "And I can also tell you that it won't be long before I and the Childe Chiyan become Taoist companions, and then we will start dual cultivation … So, don't bother me in the future!"
After that, Ouyang Ye held Gu Qingfeng's arm and left without looking back.
