232 You Don’t Know About Music

Translator:Nyoi-Bo Studio | Editor: Vicky_ Today, Qin Mengruo had played her guqin at this place and invited the people from the various forces to come and enjoy.

Qian Shanmu from the Donghua Clan came and used his flute to follow the music. The guqin and the flute were played together, and the music was very pleasant. Previously, Liu Feiyang had asked Ye Futian how he felt about the music. Liu Feiyang did not know much about music, but Ye Futian could feel the artistic conception within the music. The sound of Qian Shanmu’s flute had always changed according to the changes in Qin Mengruo’s music. The artistic conception there seemed to say that a gentleman would be a good match for a beautiful and graceful lady.

Later, the music turned increasingly harmonious, as if the husband and the wife were becoming reconciled. Therefore, Ye Futian would feel that although the music was good, there was still a fly in the ointment.

Along with what the fifth brother, Luo Fan, had said earlier, Ye Futian guessed that the so-called guqin recital on the day was actually a meet-up between the two forces which were trying to be allied through marriage. It was the marriage between the little princess from the Qin Dynasty and the genius from the Donghua Clan.

One of them was one of the top three beauties in the Eastern Barren Territory and liked music, while the other was the best musician among the young generation in the Eastern Barren Territory. Indeed, they were a match made in heaven.

If the two forces did team up, arranging such a marriage would naturally be very meaningful. However, the two were not ordinary people either, and the seniors would definitely not be able to decide on their marriage with just a sentence. Perhaps, that was why the guqin recital was held. It all seemed to be elegant and delightful.

In fact, not just Ye Futian had guessed it, but people from many forces also had a similar feeling. Maybe it was only a meet-up between the princess Qin Mengruo and Qian Shanmu on that day. All the rest were mere decorations for the two to stand out.

They used music to understand each other and played together. Just like what the person from the Donghua Clan had said earlier, perhaps this would become a nice story. In the future, it would be natural for such an outstanding pair to be together, so the event on that day would also become a favorite tale.

However, all of this was disrupted by one sentence from Ye Futian. Just that one line destroyed the entire atmosphere. Ye Futian said bluntly that if they were trying to date each other, they should not drag him into it… Such a happy event sounded exceptionally vulgar from his mouth.

After he finished that sentence, everyone’s look stagnated and they all felt speechless. Every Liu Feiyang and Liu Chenyu were too surprised to react. They looked in astonishment at Ye Futian who was leaving.

The witch Gu Biyue smiled and looked in Ye Futian’s direction. This guy really doesn’t give anybody face.

The looks from Qin Mengruo and Qian Shanmu were also stunned, and a strange expression appeared on both of their faces. Today, they felt quite comfortable about the meeting and had a favorable impression about each other. However, Ye Futian’s words immediately caused their happy mood to turn somewhat terrible.

“Stop.”

A cold voice was heard. The person who spoke was a cultivator from the Donghua Clan.

Ye Futian stopped and then turned around slowly. Looking at the person from the Donghua Clan, he asked, “What?”

Today, he was asked by Liu Feiyang to come and join in the fun. The Cottage did not bother much about external affairs; this could be seen from the attitude of the fifth brother. Whether the Qin Dynasty teamed up with the Donghua Clan or not, the Cottage was unconcerned, and naturally, Ye Futian would be unconcerned as well. He also did not care about the marriage between the two forces. Whether Qin Mengruo would be together with Qian Shanmu or not, what did it have to do with him? However, they deliberately wanted to drag him in. He could not tolerate this.

The Qin Dynasty, the Donghua Clan, and the College were the three most influential forces in the Eastern Barren Territory. Now, two of them teamed up. Did they want to purposely suppress the College? Although the Cottage was not on good terms with the College, it was a symbol of the College after all. If they could defeat the Cottage, that would be equivalent to defeating the College. Therefore, did they want to begin by defeating Ye Futian? Since this was the case, he would no longer need to give them any face.

“Even if you are a Cottage disciple, isn’t it inappropriate for you to speak in such a manner?” someone from the Donghua Clan said emotionlessly. Ye Futian was not wrong; today’s event was indeed a meeting between Qin Mengruo and Qian Shanmu. However, the atmosphere of such a glorious meet-up was totally destroyed by one sentence from Ye Futian. The feeling of the people from the Donghua Clan could then be well imagined.

The marriage was rather important for both forces. If the important people from both forces were married, there would naturally be less deceive and distrust when the two forces were trying to cooperate. It was particularly important for the Donghua Clan. After all, if they were married, Qian Shanmu from the Donghua Clan would bring the Qin Dynasty princess back to the Donghua Clan. This would help to increase their reputation, whether it was for Qian Shanmu himself or all of the Donghua Clan. Moreover, from then on the Donghua Clan would have two of the top three beauties in the Eastern Barren Territory.

To the Donghua Clan, which wanted to become the top clan in the Eastern Barren Territory, they naturally would not want to miss out on such an opportunity and all hoped that Qian Shanmu and Qin Mengruo could be together.

“Where have I been inappropriate? Please advise,” Ye Futian smiled and said. Since he had already done so, he would not be afraid of what the others would say.

“The princess and my Donghua Clan disciple, Qian Shanmu, played their instruments together. It is supposed to be a very nice event, but in your mouth, it appears to be so vulgar and unbearable. Is this how the people from the Cottage behave?” the young man from the Donghua Clan asked.

Ye Futian glanced at the person with a cold look. Do the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan want to step on the Cottage so badly?

The College was not a clan, and the Cottage also did not participate in external disputes. Even if the Qin Dynasty teamed up with the Donghua Clan, why did they want to suppress the College so much? Was it because they wanted to become the two most influential forces in the Eastern Barren Territory?

If they really surpassed the Cottage and the College, whenever people in the world were to mention about the best forces in the Eastern Barren Territory, they would indeed only think about the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan. Furthermore, since the two forces had teamed up, they would surely be able to gather many talents in the world in just a single call.

“I think that certainly everyone knows about how the Cottage behaves. Actually, I should ask your Donghua Clan. Since you have done it, why do you not dare to admit it? It is indeed a nice story for the young geniuses of the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan to be married, so why do you bother to cover it? Or, does the Donghua Clan think that this is a very embarrassing thing?”

Ye Futian asked back, and the people from the Donghua Clan were actually rendered speechless. Definitely, they could not say that the meeting between Qian Shanmu and the princess was embarrassing.

In addition, they could not even deny Ye Futian’s words. If on this day they denied the fact that Qian Shanmu and the princess were using music to know each other, they would be slapping themselves again when the two were to marry in the future.

In short, after Ye Futian said that sentence, the entire atmosphere was destroyed and everything seemed to be different.

The people from the Donghua Clan went into silence and actually did not know how to reply.

“I have heard before that the Cottage disciples are not only capable in terms of talent and strength, but are also highly skilled in speaking. Today, after seeing you, I have learned that this is indeed true.” At that moment, a voice spread out slowly. The person who spoke was the genius Qian Shanmu from the Donghua Clan.

Obviously, Qian Shanmu was mocking the Cottage disciples for only being able to talk their way out. However, his words appeared to be much more elegant, so Ye Futian seemed somewhat vulgar in contrast.

“Indeed, I have long wished to meet with the princess today. Hearing her music, I have learned a lot about her, as many things can be expressed through music. Because I was interested, I played the music together with her. However, you have actually described this as such a terrible event.” Qian Shanmu’s voice was still very calm and he was not angry. He said slowly, “I have heard before that you are an expert in music. Now it seems that you don’t know about music at all.”

His words sounded casual, but they seemed to determine Ye Futian’s status at once. As the best musician among the young generation in the Eastern Barren Territory, since he said openly that Ye Futian did not know about music, then, it must be true that Ye Futian indeed did not.

Ye Futian similarly looked at Qian Shanmu calmly. The two forces were trying to be allied through marriage and use this opportunity to suppress him. From Qian Shanmu’s words, it sounded like everything was Ye Futian’s fault, as if the happiness on that day was all destroyed because of Ye Futian. Precisely because of this, he was appraised as not knowing any music.

Because of Qian Shanmu’s identity—the best musician among the young generation in the Eastern Barren Territory—his judgment towards Ye Futian would surely spread quickly in the Eastern Barren Territory.

Ye Futian stared at Qian Shanmu with a somewhat unhappy look.

“If you think that my words are inappropriate, you can challenge me.” Qian Shanmu seemed to have noticed Ye Futian’s unhappiness and continued to say so. In terms of music, his words were like the rules.

Ye Futian suddenly smiled. As the best musician in the Eastern Barren Territory, the ability Qian Shanmu had been cultivating was music, and this was his strongest part. Furthermore, he was at the peak of the Dharma Plane. With his strong talent, his music could even deal with those who had just entered the Arcana Plane. How could Ye Futian challenge him? He was really bullying Ye Futian.

However, what could Ye Futian do, when he was suppressed in such a way? The people in the world did not care about their levels, but only the scene when the two were confronting each other.

“You’re right,” Ye Futian suddenly smiled and said. “Indeed, I do not know about music.”

Is he admitting defeat? The people from the Donghua Clan sneered.

Qian Shanmu’s expression was still calm. It was not an honorable thing for him to use music to suppress Ye Futian. However, Ye Futian’s words were very aggressive and he had to do something. Otherwise, the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan would really lose face.

“Just now, which person from the Donghua Clan wanted to challenge me?” just as the people from the Donghua Clan were sneering, Ye Futian said.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of many sparkled. Finally, he cannot bear it anymore?

From the Donghua Clan direction, a young person stepped out.

“Gu Ming.” Everyone saw the person and many knew him. He was a very gifted junior in the Donghua Clan and it was said that his combat abilities were very strong.

“Gu Ming, Fifth-level Dharma Plane,” he said to Ye Futian, indicating his name and level. His age was similar to Ye Futian’s, so if he could win, Ye Futian would no longer be a legend.

It seemed that the Donghua Clan and the Qin Dynasty indeed wanted to deliberately suppress the Cottage, and would start this from Ye Futian.

“Ye Futian, Fourth-level Dharma Plane,” Ye Futian said slowly. Then, he sat down alone on the ground. Some light flashed and the Guqin Spirit appeared. In front of Ye Futian, an illusory guqin emerged on which musical notes seemed to be beating.

Seeing the scene, a strange expression appeared on everyone’s face. Against Gu Ming, Ye Futian chose to sit down directly and release the Guqin Spirit. Clearly, Ye Futian was planning to battle with musical spells.

Just a while ago, Qian Shanmu said that Ye Futian did not know about music, and he himself also admitted so. Then, he released the Guqin Spirit and would use music to deal with the person from the Donghua Clan…

Yu Sheng glanced at Qian Shanmu and the people from the Donghua Clan with a cold look. At first, Ye Futian was not interested in fighting at all, but the people from the Donghua Clan kept forcing him. Since this was the case, he wanted to see what expressions the people from the Donghua Clan would have after he, whom the Donghua Clan genius Qian Shanmu claimed to not know music, used music to defeat a person from the Donghua Clan!
