"Did you guys come for my 26th concert or what..." Yu Sheng uttered as he observe his surroundings. Apparently he was in some abandon house that was kept quite clean on the inside.
The crowd hearing him broke out into whispers.
"Who is this guy?"
"I don't know, but did he just come out of that house where someone from the Xu Clan was pronounced dead?"
"Look! His clothes is covered in blood!"
"Hey!" Just as Yu Sheng began getting nervous hearing the crowd whispers a man wearing police uniform came up to him with a baton in hand. "Who are you? What were you doing in that house!" The man shouted, his eyes locking onto Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng stared at the man with still eyes, but inside his eyes glitter with excitement. The more he look at the man though, the more he see the man grip on the baton tighten.
Seeing this Yu Sheng sneered. "I should be the one asking you! Who do you think you are? Don't you know of my clans name?!" Yu Sheng yelled, bringing out the persona of the previous host.
"What—" Caught off guard by Yu Sheng sudden shout, the man stepped back. His grip on his baton loosing.
Yu Sheng noticing this, took advantage of the situation by saying, "I don't know if you live under a rock or something, but my glorious name begins with Xu and ends with Wantian! Does that name ring a bell for yah?"
'The Xu Clan! Wait they said the kid that died in there name is Wantian! What the f*ck is going on?!' The man shuddered slightly when he realize who he just yelled at, his breathing become rapid as he avert his gaze to look on the ground.
"Ah! You must be the boy from the Xu Clan! We thought you were dead. It's good that your alive..." Recovering from his shock, the man put on a smile and tried to recover his stance.
'Just as I thought.' Yu Sheng smiled back. With his sharp gaze he saw everything the man just did. He could tell that beneath his facade he was shivering like a scared dog. He could even hear his heart rapidly beating, probably some special ability of the yinyue race.
'No matter how trash the host of this body was normal civilians wouldn't dare mess with the Xu Clan.' Yu Sheng thought as he sneer out loud again. "What are you waiting for then? Scram! Can't you see I am getting prepared for my 26th Concert! Why you think these people showed up for?!" He yelled, gathering the attention of the people in the crowd.
"Eh? But sir, we heard that you were facing some sort of trouble..." Confused, the man looked at his colleagues for help.
"Nonsense! Now get out of my way. Are you going to keep the people waiting?" Yu Sheng said, staring at the other police officers near him.
A police officer with grey hair stepped forward. "Apologies sir, but this is of national security. A crime was committed here not too long ago and..." The police officer tried explaining.
"Uh! Pitiful mortals. Can't you see the situation has already been taken care of? I disposed of those trash who dare lay a finger on I, Xu Wantian." Grabbing his shirt, Yu Sheng pulled to make sure the police officers see the blood stains on it. "Just so you know this isn't my blood..."
Coming to an understanding the police officer with grey hair nodded his head. "Well if you excuse me sir." Bowing his head slightly, the police officer left with his men in-tow, taking a small glimpse of his badge Yu Sheng realize the man was actually the head of this little group.
The police officer from before seeing this came up to his commander. "Sir, are we really gonna let him go? Don't you know that he's that Xu Wantian who the Xu Clan disposed of? There's even a bounty on his head..."
The Commander looked at his Lieutenant while shaking his head. "Even if he's an abandoned son, the name Xu isn't something us mortals should mess with."
"Make sure if you ever come across anyone from the Great Clans that you leave them alone. They are up to the Special Cultivators Force to handle got that everyone?!"
"Roger!"
Seeing the police officers leaving Yu Sheng sighed in relief. He wish he could handle things in a more polite way, but when leaving the house Yu Sheng activated the Eternal Melody headphones in fear that the robed men didn't leave causing excitement to bubble up inside him.
"This damn power may cause my death one day." Yu Sheng cursed, "but on the bright side... Super sight, super hearing am I becoming Superman or something?!" Yu Sheng laughed in excitement. "No wonder Yin Qing'er would rather die than staying another minute on earth!" He thought.
Even when the police officers already left the area and was already meters away from him, he could still hear their faint whispering. "Hehe, this power can come in handy." Putting on a evil, perverted grin, Yu Sheng laughed before getting back to business.
Looking at the crowd that was still questioning what was going to happen he growled while tapping his head as if having a headache.
"I could have just let the police handle the public, but I need to build this idiots horrible reputation." Yu Sheng grumbled, "Not only do I need to build up his reputation, but also get back the approval of the Xu Clan."
"I just had to get transferred to the body of a useless idiot." Sighing, Yu Sheng walked up to the stage and stared at the public.
"Whatever, lets get this over with so I can start making some money!" With a shout his fingers pull a string on the guitar.
A moment later a sound echo in everyone's ears. Even thought it was just a mere sound, it managed to get the public attention.
Yu Sheng noticing that he got the attention of the crowd smiled brightly. "I haven't had a concert in over 45 years, I hope I'm not too rusty."
Raising his free hand to the sky he summoned a plectrum and began playing the guitar.
"What's going on..." Immediately after a wave of emotions took over the crowd. Their mind and body becoming entangled between reality and fiction as melody spread all around, music notes dancing around them.
Green came blossoming out of the ground made of asphalt until there was no more. The sky that was already beautiful became even more beautiful as river banks form around the green ground.
In this illusionary world there was no pain, no suffering. The word was peaceful and there was no war. Every man and beast lived in harmony with one another.
However, this was not the case for everyone. Others became trapped in different illusions. Some saw their love ones that died years ago come back alive, some saw themselves reaching the peak of cultivations, some became a king, rich, happy and some fell into temptation. Becoming what their inner demons want them to become. Some even felt at peace while others only wished for violence.
The music then switched tempo causing the crowd to experience the opposite of what they were feeling.
This is one of Yu Sheng many styles of music. To ability to bring out two separate emotions in a person. To let a person feel both happy yet sad, calm yet angry.
Of course he wasn't the one who invented it, but with his talent in music he managed to bring this style to heights no one has ever done before.
Although he didn't say a word, his message still went through with his music. Seeing everyone eyes closed with no intentions of opening them back, Yu Sheng smiled and slipped away from the crowd, putting away Eternal Melody.
While Yu Sheng was finding the quickest possible way to get by the crowd an individual broke out of Yu Sheng illusion. Shocked, the individual tried finding Yu Sheng only to realize he sneaked away.
"What the hell..." The individual whispered in a manly voice. "How did I fall into that boys illusion." The man continue talking to himself, not bothering to look for Yu Sheng.
The man then took out a phone and dial a number.
"Speak? Did something go wrong?" After a few minutes a voice came through.
"Sir there is an anomaly in this years batch." Not wasting time the man said.
"An anomaly?" Confused, the voice on the line repeated. "What's his name?"
"Xu Wantian sir."
The voice on the line paused for a second before saying, "Never heard of him. What did this kid do to be considered an anomaly?"
"Reporting to sir, this kid by the name Xu Wantian managed to bypass my mental defense. Trapping me an illusion along with a thousand other people who are mortals."
"..."
The man on the line didn't respond after a long time. Ten minutes in fact.
"What's going on."
"Was that an illusion?"
"How long have I been standing here?"
"Oh no, I am going to be late for work!"
"How dare you post this garbage novel Xue Wang, Incompetent Genius? More like Incompetent Fool... wait where am I?"
After ten minutes the crowd finally woke up from their dream. They look around stunned as if unfamiliar with their surroundings.
"Unbelievable..." The man look around and mumbled to himself in fear. Although these people are mortals to be trapped in an illusion caused by none other than another mortal is scary feat. 'Imagine what could happen if this Xu Wantian was a cultivator?' The man shivered at the thought.
"Your name is K right?" As if responding to his mumble the man on the line asked.
"Yes sir."
"Good, I am guessing whoever this kid is, is someone who was hiding his talent away from us so keep an eye on this Xu Wantian. In the meantime I am going to report this matter to the higher ups." The man on the line said to K.
"As you command sir."

"So this is the company." Yu Sheng arrived at a building that was as tall as his father's old company.
"To think they would make this idiot manage such a company. How foolish of this Xu Clan." Yu Sheng smiled while thinking, "Oh well, it now belongs to me anyways. Now watch as I, Business God Yu Sheng bring this company to great heights!"
"Why are they looking at me like that?" Stepping inside the company he saw that everyone was staring at him weirdly.
"Oh right. My clothes..." Looking down, he saw his torn, rigged clothes covered in blood.
Passing by a female worker, Yu Sheng stare into her eyes causing her to tremble in fright. "Uh, h- hello Manager Xu." She greeted.
"Hello, whats your name?" Yu Sheng greeted back.
"H- Hou Xiaohui" The girl said with a trembling, shy voice while screaming in her mind. 'Oh no is he going to turn me into one of his personal toys!'
'Damn! This idiots reputation is gonna take forever to build up.' Yu Sheng cursed, he could hear her heart ready to explode for the amount of fright he gave her just by talking to her.
"You don't need to be afraid of me, I won't hurt you!" Yu Sheng said while trying to put on his best smile, but to Huo Xiaohui, his smile looked like the smile of the grinch.
Realizing his winning smile didn't work he cursed again before leaving the girl alone, in case he runs her away from the company.
Before leaving though he made sure to clear up this obvious misunderstanding. "Just so you know... This is ketchup not blood. Got it?"
"Umm, yes CEO Xu."
After leaving the girl by the name Huo, Yu Sheng arrived at the companies meeting room. From what he recall from Xu Wantian memories, he was suppose to have a meeting at this exact time.
As he was about to step inside however, Yu Sheng heard a faint whisper amongst the many voices inside the meeting.
"I believe they killed him, our first mission was accomplished. Now to turn this company into a branch of Xu Weizhe
