" Li Bing, He is from Six Sword Pavilion. I was one of my pursuers." Mu Qinglian chuckled. Long Ming looked at Li Bing as he nodded.
" His zither playing skills are good. Unfortunately, he isn't going to succeed."
*ZHENG ZHENG!"
Li Bing played the zither as mist appeared around him. The mist condensed into clouds as a gentle wind blew. The scenery became attractive to anyone watching and listening to his music.
The old man was sitting there with his eyes closed as he heard the music. However, Long Ming could notice a sigh of disappointment in his breath.
As Li Bing's music became powerful, the scene around him became stronger. However, the chart remained the same as usual, without any changes. Li Bing's expression turned ugly as he got up.
" Child, Your music was good. But it wasn't enough." The old man spoke..
" How is that possible!" Li Bing shouted. " I played the music and even induced the Cloud and Skies phenomenon!"
" Not enough."
Damn it!" He cursed as he got up. " You must be a crook!"
" Alright, We already anticipated this ending." Long Ming spoke as he walked beside Li Bing. " Now, If you please, stand in the side and let me play the zither."
" Hmph, I, The renowned disciple famous for my zither skill couldn't do it. You think you are better than me?" Li Bing snorted.
Long Ming nodded.
" Of course. I AM better."
His Heavenly Revelation Eyes opened as he glanced at the chart. The clouds and mountains appeared before his eyes as they tumbled. The cloud moved and the mountain collapsed, turning into a string of letters.
Long Ming used his Heavenly Comprehension Heart as he used his music skills. Placing his fingers on the strings, he started playing the zither.
Suddenly, the murmuring crowd became silent as Long Ming's music floated out. The old man who was sitting with his eyes closed, woke up as he looked at Long Ming with disbelief.
Suddenly, the chart buzzed as the mountain and clouds moved in them. A swirl of runes appeared around Long Ming as he played the zither.
" My god! Look at that!"
" What a grand phenomenon!"
Long Ming's hand moved fluidly as he immersed himself in the tune. The mountains and clouds appeared around him as the crowd felt like there was standing on a cliff, where clouds were blowing against their body.
*CHI CHI*
The chart moved as a golden colored ball oozed out from it and shot at Long Ming's eyebrows. Long Ming was startled as he stopped playing it. The old man was startled as he looked at the chart.
" Hahaha! Good! It is unlocked!" The old man laughed loudly. " Don't worry, Kid. That golden ball of light is something beneficial for your soul."
Long Ming got up and bowed. " Thank you senior, For your generosity."
" En, You are good." The old man smiled as he threw Long Ming a ring. " Your reward: ten thousand Mid grade Spirit stones. Also, there is an additional gift for you."
The old man held the zither and scroll as he laughed. " If fate permits, we shall meet again."
Saying that he simply vanished from his position. The crowd was stunned when they saw that.
" Spatial manipulation? I didn't even sense a trace of True Qi."
" Damn it! Could it be, That man was a Nine Spirit Transformation stage cultivator?"
Long Ming chuckled as he wore the spatial ring. He could see the middle-grade spirit stones along with a silver token in the spatial ring.
" Well, Since the show is over, I don't think we should stay here." Long Ming utterly ignored Li Bing as he held Mu Qinglian's hand.
Mu Qinglian was stunned as she followed Long Ming. " You… You never said you can play zither so well."
" Well?" Long Ming shrugged. " Are you forgetting? I clearly told you that I am proficient in all four arts."

Long Ming grinned when he saw that. As they walked, both Mu Qinglian and Long Ming suddenly stopped when they saw a banner.
" Eternal Spring Tower has closed its business! The Blissful Hall is the winner!"
Long Ming could notice the disciples wearing Blissful Heaven Temple's uniform as they chattered around.
" Did you hear? Eternal Spring Tower closed its business."
" Haha, How can they compete with our Blissful Hall?"
" Indeed. I can't wait when all their girls come under our Blissful Hall."
" Heh, Who would accept those cheap bitches?"
Long Ming saw Mu Qinglian trembling in anger as she heard those remarks. Long Ming's eyes narrowed as he looked at the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple with his Heavenly Revelation Eyes.
' The lowest of them was at the peak of Violet Palace Expansion realm. Not to mention, there are two True Core Formation stage disciples.' Long Ming gauged their strength.
However, a smile crept on his face as he laughed. ' Who said I just need to fight with them to defeat them?"
Long Ming took out his Treasured Jade Brush and poured his Fragrant Yin Qi into it.
With a stroke, the jade brush shone with liquid pink light. Long Ming looked at the sky as he casually made some strokes as he activated the Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth.
*WHOOOOSH!*
The passerby paused as they suddenly saw a swirl of pink qi in the air. Suddenly, words appeared out of thin air as they shone with an attractive pink-colored light.
Lowly Dogs Die for the Bliss
The True Gentlemen Awaits for the Spring
Bliss Is Temporary
Spring Is Eternal
When the words flashed out, everyone couldn't help but pause and look at the letters. The Fragrant Yin QI in the letter was very attractive as the viewers felt strangely refreshed after reading that.
There is already a crowd gathered to see the banner of Blissful Heaven Temple. However, now, their focus was on the words flashing in midair.
" Lowly men die for the Bliss, A True gentleman wait for Spring…Hahaha!"
" Nice! Very Nice!"
"It's like Eternal Spring Tower isn't going to back down either."
The disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple were enraged when they saw the words.
" Who! Which bastard did this!"
" Which bastard cursed our Sect!"
Long Ming laughed when he heard. " It looks like these fellow Daoists became confused. Which sect are you from?"
The disciple snorted as he answered. " Can't you notice? We are from Blissful Heaven Temple."
" Ah, I see." Long Ming waved his Flum Blossom Fan as he gave a nod. " But, I think my eyesight is wrong. Why can't I see anyone slandering Blissful Heaven Temple?"
" Brat, Are you playing with us?" One of the Blissful Heaven Temple's disciples snorted. " You think we are blind? You think we can't see how you slandered our sect?"
" I only wrote the word Bliss though." Long Ming pondered. " Ahhh! So, you think I implied the Blissful Heaven Temple?"
" Of course!."
Three of them shouted. Mu Qinglian was about to intervene. But Long Ming stopped her with his paper fan.
" Well, Since fellow daoists of Blissful Heaven Temple think that your sect owns the word Bliss… Then, Won't that mean If a Sect's name was Celestial Heaven Sect, they will own the heaven and earth?"
" You!!"
" You are twisting the words!"
Long Ming shrugged. " Why would I? I merely felt inspired and wrote some words. But, It looks like the Blissful Heaven Temple disciples only engage in mortal carnal pleasure, unable to see through the artistic poems."
" Bastard! How dare you!"
One of the disciples brandished his sword as he pointed at Long Ming. " Oh, You want to fight against me?" Long Ming chuckled.
" So what!" The disciple snorted angrily. " Since you dared to spout bullshit get ready to lose your arms and legs!"
Long Ming took out his jade brush as he suddenly wrote a new set of words again.
Congratulations to Blissful Heaven Temple for surpassing the Imperial Laws of the Holy Qilin Empire. Now, They don't need to follow any rules.
When the words floated out, the disciples of the Blissful Heaven Temple became surprised.
Wasn't Long Ming just cursing at them before? What happened now? Why is he suddenly praising them?"
Long Ming gave a light bow. " Since fellow Daoists are from such a great sect, A lowly person like myself can't stay here." Qinglian, Let's go."
" Huh?" Mu Qinglian was startled. " Really? We are going back? Just like that?"
" Of course!" Long Ming spoke seriously. " Blissful Heaven Temple is even greater than the Imperial Family of Great Qilin Empire. How can we compete with them?"
As Long Ming spoke that, a row of guards appeared their face was cold. " Where are the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple??
They noticed the three Blissful Heaven Temple disciples as they snorted. " I see. The Blissful Heaven Temple's disciples got very proud, huh? You don't need to follow the rules of the city anymore."
" Why don't you come with us to the City Guard's headquarters so we can have a nice chat?"
When the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple saw the captain of the City Guards of Grandk Sky City, they trembled.
" No! No sir, It wasn't us!"
" That bastard! He is the one who wrote that!"
Long Ming became confused. " But, Wasn't it you who told me to write that? You even dared to fight with me in the middle of the city streets, which was forbidden."
" You can ask everyone here." Long Ming shrugged. " If that is not a display of power over city laws, then what is it?"
" I am sure Lord Captain shall uphold the justice for the common folk. After all, you are a righteous person, aren't you?"
" Anyway, We should leave. I think you can handle everything alone."
Long Ming held Mu Qinglian's hand as he smiled. With a wave of his hands, the liquid pink in the Treasures Jade Brush shot toward the banner of Blissful Heaven Temple as he changed it to…
" Spring is Coming, With many surprises! Do enjoy the Spring with us!"
The word shone as Long Ming and Mu Qinglian escaped from there. The City Guard Captain was stunned as his gaze fell back on the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple."
" Damn it, We are fucked!"
