chapter 3132 musical scale
as long chen and liao yuhuang appeared on the stage, everyone fell silent. both of them were considered contesters for first place. now that they finally met each other in the clash for the top eight, no one could predict who would win.
“may i be so bold as to ask who came up with your name?” asked long chen.
“it’s my mother,” answered liao yuhuang.
“what a good name. it seems that your mother is not only skilled in the music dao. her mental realm must have reached an enviable level as well,” said long chen.
“no way. boss is also going to suck up?” exclaimed bai xiaole in disbelief. bai xiaole had put on a humble appearance for fear of provoking liao yuhuang. he had known that she wouldn’t kill him, but she could definitely have given him a miserable beating.
now, long chen directly praised her name. this kind of boot-licking was a bit too direct.
“what a coward. he fears the strong. he might put on a good show against a weakling, but he tucks his tail in between his legs when he sees a really strong person.”
“that’s right. now everyone is seeing his true face. you were all tricked by him. this fellow doesn’t have any ability.”
“a fake hypocrite. just like that bai xiaole, he becomes a coward as soon as he faces a real opponent, trying to worm his way into being friends.”
“long chen, you’ve lost the face of all men. hurry up and scram!”
long chen returned her courtesy but shook his head. “when it comes to music theory, i know merely the slightest bit. it can’t count as any accomplishment. the only reason i know this little bit is because someone i know is a true expert in this regard. i have been influenced by her, and while i am unworthy of her music, even a foolish oaf like me can learn a bit over time.”
“there’s someone even more skilled than you? then i’d like for you to introduce us. i would be endlessly grateful,” said liao yuhuang.
“this lover of mine ascended at the same time as me from the lower plane, but we’ve lost connection since then, and i haven’t found a trace of her in the immortal world. however, after ascending, i would guess that she would join your zither sect. so i was actually thinking of requesting fairy yuhuang to ask around your sect to see if there is a newcomer named zi yan.”
long chen’s heartbeat quickened. however, he knew just how low this possibility was.
if zi yan had really gone to the zither sect, there was no way that she would be some nameless disciple. with her talent and comprehension, she would soar.
as expected, liao yuhuang shook her head. “my apologies. our branch sect doesn’t have such a person. as for other branch sects, i can’t say. the branch sects are spread far and wide and rarely interact with each other. we might not come into contact for thousands of years. i can report to the sect master when i get back to help you investigate, but you shouldn’t raise your hopes. even amongst our connections, there are only four branch sects that we have regular contact with. we are unable to reach the other branch sects.”
“then i’ll thank fairy yuhuang for the effort. now, when it comes to us...” long chen rubbed his fists awkwardly.
the barrier between them had already vanished, and long chen’s meaning was clear. now that they were done talking, it was time to get to business. long chen’s goal was the golden dragon scale. it didn’t matter if his opponent was friendly, as that dragon scale had to be his.
liao yuhuang smiled. “brother long is very capable. i can tell that you view first place as something you must obtain. normally, i should retreat here. but i also feel unwilling to do so. how about i instead play a song for you?”
long chen smiled. he understood her meaning. ultimately, liao yuhuang wanted to test him.
liao yuhuang then pressed her hand against her zither. a single note rang out, one that caused every expert’s expression to change.
