"Sir, are we really going in?"
Qin Xuan, who was following Jun Xiaoyao, glanced around at the luxurious Immortal Jade Restaurant with an uneasy expression.
She had never been to such a high-class place before.
"If I don't go in, how am I going to attend the zither competition?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
He casually took out a supreme-grade divine source and tossed it to the attendant of the Immortal Jade Restaurant.
The young servant was so stunned that he didn't dare to stop Jun Xiaoyao from entering.
Qin Xuan nodded slightly.
She also saw Jun Xiaoyao as a suitor who admired Tianqin.
As for playing the zither?
Qin Xuan never thought about it.
Jun Xiaoyao and Qin Xuan soon reached the top floor of the Immortal Jade Restaurant.
As soon as Jun Xiaoyao appeared, everyone turned their attention to him.
That aura was so unique that it was difficult for people to not notice it.
"Huh? Who is that? Why does he have such a shocking aura?"
"Why do I feel like an immortal has descended into the mortal world?"
The eyes of many geniuses from major forces were filled with astonishment.
The Third Prince and the young master of the Million Treasures Chamber of Commerce were also surprised.
The Third Prince, in particular, was on high alert while feeling surprised.
From what he saw, most men who attended the Zither Contest were there to admire the fairy-like beauty of the Heavenly Zither Maiden.
On the other hand, the Third Prince had long considered Tianqin to be his exclusive property.
The mysterious young master shrouded in the divine light made the Third Prince feel threatened.
Even a prince like him felt a sense of inferiority before the young master in white.
Like a lowly mortal facing an immortal.
That feeling made the Third Prince extremely displeased.
What made him even more displeased was that Lady Tianqin's attention was also attracted by the young man in white.
"What an amazing aura…"
Despite being as cold as ice, she was still very surprised at the moment.
Even she felt a little ashamed of herself before the young master in white.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't care about the attention from the crowd. He casually found a seat and sat down.
On the other hand, Qin Xuan, who was standing by the side, felt a little uneasy being watched by so many people.
"Huh… he…"
On the other side, Feng Qingling also noticed Jun Xiaoyao.
Red light gathered in her eyes as she tried to see through the mist of divine light on Jun Xiaoyao's face.
"Huh?" Jun Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows slightly as the true spirit in his Divine Palace unleashed its soul power.
All of a sudden, Feng Qingling frowned as she felt a sharp pain in her head.
"This man has some tricks up his sleeve." Feng Qingling frowned and gave up on prying.
After all, the main reason she came here this time was to meet this Tianqin girl who was known as the best at the zither.
Jun Xiaoyao retracted his gaze and muttered to himself, "People of the Wanhuang Spirit Mountain, it seems that this lineage has begun to act."
Previously, it was the Lair of Zulong who was causing trouble.
Now, the successor of the Wanhuang Spirit Mountain had appeared.
Coincidentally, the two branches were on good terms, and both of them were targeting the Jun family.
Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao naturally didn't like Feng Qingling.
An old woman from the Heavenly Zither Sect said from the side of the stage, "Everyone, it's about time. Let the zither competition begin now."
She was also the guardian of Tianqin's mother.
A young man walked out with a smile and took out his guqin. "Haha, if that's the case, then I shall make a fool of myself first. May I have your guidance, Miss Tianqin?"
"Please."
Tianqin only uttered one word, her voice clear and cold.
The young man played the zither. The sound of the zither flowed like water.
On the other hand, the cold and aloof Tianqin remained composed throughout.
After listening to the young man's piece, the Heavenly Zither Maiden then plucked the strings with her slender fingers.
At that moment, the sound of the zither was heard.
Sacred rays of light lingered around her, while clouds of smoke rose. In the void, there was a faint glimmer of divine light that complemented the Heavenly Zither Maiden, making her seem like a fairy in the way of the zither.
Almost everyone present was mesmerized by what they heard. The Third Prince, the Young Master of the Million Treasures Chamber of Commerce, and the others were even more impressed.
As the Heavenly Zither Maiden finished her piece, the lingering notes lingered in the air.
"This is a piece of the Deity's Song! How exciting!"
"After listening to the Heavenly Zither Maidens music, I feel like I'm about to be elevated to a higher level," many young men sighed.
"It sounds so good." Qin Xuan was also mesmerized by the song.
Even someone like her who didn't know anything about the zither was mesmerized.
"Not bad," Jun Xiaoyao said faintly.
He didn't specialize in the zither, nor did he practice it much.
However, with Jun Xiaoyao's freakish talents and some of the famous pieces of the zither that he learned in his previous life…
Jun Xiaoyao's mastery of the zither had unknowingly reached its peak when the two were combined.
To him, the sound of the zither played by the Heavenly Zither Maiden could only be considered decent. It was something that he could appreciate.
The young man who challenged her cupped his hands at her and said, "You truly are the best of the younger generation in the Mystic Realm. I admit defeat."
"Thank you for letting me win." The beautiful face of the Heavenly Zither Maiden was indifferent. She was not delighted by her victory.
Following that, several geniuses went up to challenge her one after another, all of whom were defeated.
The Third Prince, the Young Master of the Million Treasures Chamber of Commerce, and the others were all smiling at the sight.
No one could defeat the Heavenly Zither Maiden in the art of the zither, so no one could pique her interest.
At that moment, a female voice with a hint of arrogance was heard.
"Qingling will spar with you for a bit. Let's see the best zither player among the younger generation of the Mystic Realm."
Feng Qingling stood up. She wore a fiery red dress that accentuated her tall and slim figure.
Although her face was enveloped in the divine light, the faint glimpse of her face was still astonishing.
She took out a fiery red zither that seemed to be wreathed in flames.
It was an extremely powerful Noble Weapon.
"I wouldn't dare to claim to be the number one zither player. Since Miss Feng wishes to challenge me, then please go ahead." The Heavenly Zither Maidens tone was faint, but there was also a hint of rivalry.
The two faced each other and actually began playing the zither at the same time.
"Listen to me, Phoenix Seeking Phoenix!" Feng Qingling stroked the strings of her zither with her hands. Countless crimson runes were engraved in the void.
Then, the cry of a Phoenix rang out.
One Pair of Phoenix came into existence, and two lifelike divine birds circled around Feng Qingling.
Such a phenomenon shocked many people.
Tianqin also began to play her famous song, the Feathers of the Rainbow.
At that moment, everyone felt as if they were witnessing the arrival of a celestial palace. The celestial bodies danced in the air while golden lotuses bloomed on the ground.
Everyone seemed to be lost in the moment, not knowing what year it was.
The two melodies intertwined and clashed.
Eventually, a bang was heard.
One of Feng Qingling's strings snapped.
Her face was faintly tinged with blue as her expression changed.
Eventually, she stopped playing the zither.
Feng Qingling shook her head slightly. "As expected of the number one genius of the younger generation in the Mystic Realm. If even I can't beat you, then no one should be able to."
She came from the Wanhuang Spirit Mountain and possessed an innate sense of pride and nobility.
Now, however, she had to admit that she had lost.
Of course, this was only a loss in the way of the zither. If they were to truly compete in strength, the Heavenly Zither Maiden would definitely be inferior to her.
Besides, Feng Qingling was also very arrogant.
She believed that if she would never be able to defeat Tianqin Wen. No one among the younger generation of the Huangtian Mystic Realm would be able to defeat her in the zither.
