The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 234: Harmony of the Qin, Unity of Heaven and Humanity!

The songstresses on the elevated platform all stepped back, making way for a young man who appeared to be the host of the evening. With a hearty laugh, he stepped forward and said, "Greetings to all the new students of Tianwei Academy, I am Bai Jiantao, a sky-tier student from Central Court!"

Being a sky-tier student in Tianwei Academy meant being a pillar of strength within the institution.

Tianwei Academy annually admitted nearly a thousand yellow-tier students, but less than a tenth of them would eventually ascend to the coveted sky-tier status after enduring numerous trials!

Bai Jiantao exuded an aura akin to a treasured sword, sharp and ambitious, yet tempered with a sense of forbidding intensity. He truly lived up to his status as a sky-tier student.

The crowd quickly quieted down, unwilling to disrespect this sky-tier student.

"Tianwei Academy boasts a rich history and encompasses a multitude of disciplines. It is not merely a place to cultivate martial prowess. Among the yellow-tier students each year, there are always some with outstanding talents. Now, let us welcome Qin Wanwan from the East Court to perform Spring Snow for us!"

"Qin Wanwan?"

Beside Ling Feng, Feng Mo's eyes widened in surprise. "Brother Feng, I didn't expect Ms. Qin to also play the qin[1]!"

"Yeah, she's really talented!" Jiang Xiaofan nodded repeatedly. Apart from wielding weapons, this guy couldn't even recognize half the characters, let alone play a musical piece.

Ling Feng pursed his lips, equally astonished that the willful Ms. Qin possessed such a skill!

In the next moment, a graceful figure ascended the stage, carrying a qin made of polished wood. Her serene and earnest demeanor stood in stark contrast to her usual fiery attitude, radiating a different kind of charm.

The yellow-tier students from the other four courts below immediately exclaimed in awe. Little did they know that such a beauty of this caliber was hidden within East Court!

Suddenly, deafening cheers erupted from the audience!

For the yellow-tier students who had just entered Tianwei Academy, their training was undoubtedly the most rigorous. Rare opportunities like this for relaxation naturally excited them one after another!

Today, Qin Wanwan was dressed with great solemnity, wearing a magnificent light blue flowing fairy gown that added a touch of beauty to her vibrant appearance.

In the hazy night, under the gentle starlight, she sat quietly in the center of the stage, gently plucking the strings of the qin and playing a melodious and enchanting tune.

It must be said that Qin Wanwan's qin skills were quite impressive. Although most people present might not be well-versed in poetry or literature, they could still be moved by her music, experiencing a sense of tranquil peace.

With her eyes closed, Qin Wanwan immersed herself in those beautiful melodies. With the movement of her fingertips, strings of delightful notes flowed like autumn rain, blending into the hearts of the listeners!

Masterful!

Absolutely a master-level qin player!

Even if Qin Wanwan couldn't reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future, if she devoted herself to the art of the qin, she definitely had the potential to become the chief palace musician.

Accompanied by Qin Wanwan's captivating music, Ling Feng's mind conjured up an image of a solitary swordsman dancing under the moonlight.

Listening to Qin Wanwan's qin, unconsciously, Ling Feng seemed to sink into a profound state, as if merging with the natural world.

"This woman..." Ling Feng's heartstrings seemed to be plucked.

They said that by listening to the music, one could understand the elegance of the musician's heart. From Qin Wanwan's music, Ling Feng heard a different kind of voice, as if she wasn't as unreasonable as he had originally thought.

At some point, Li Bufan, the youth as cold as millennium frost, also appeared at the event. Accompanying him was a man who bore some resemblance to him. He was slightly older in age and clearly his elder brother.

Judging from his attire, he was probably a sky-tier student.

This person was none other than the sixth young master of the grand commandant's family, Li Buju!

The grand commandant’s family had many heirs, but Li Bufan and Li Buju were born of the same mother, so naturally, their relationship was much better than with their other brothers.

"Bufan, you usually regard all the beautiful women in the world as worthless, yet today you're attracted by this woman's music?"

Li Buju turned to his ninth brother, Li Bufan, and smiled faintly.

Facing his elder brother, Li Bufan's expression softened slightly, but still remained as cold as frost. "Brother, you must be joking."

In reality, at the end of his gaze was Ling Feng!

The only peer who could rival him, making him unable to forget even for a moment. The only thing on his mind was if and when he could completely surpass Ling Feng!

Finally, as the last beautiful note fell, Qin Wanwan slowly opened her eyes, her hands still resting on the strings of the qin as if she were unwilling to let go...

Her gaze seemed to be searching for someone who could understand her inner voice.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Ling Feng applauded her calmly. His mind seemed to sink into a state of unity with heaven. Even his understanding of swordsmanship seemed to have improved.

To be able to play the qin to such a level was definitely worthy of being called a qin master!

Then, like a tide, applause erupted, accompanied by cheers and praises.

"Now I understand why Mentor Su seems to particularly like Ms. Qin. It turns out Ms. Qin is also a talented woman!" Feng Mo rubbed his chin, expressing his admiration.

Meanwhile, Zhou Kai and Ouyang Jing had found Zhou Yun and squeezed through the crowd to her side.

Ling Feng pursed his lips. Just now, he briefly entered a state of unity of heaven and humanity with the help of Qin Wanwan's qin music. For this alone, tonight's trip was not in vain.

After a while, Qin Wanwan slowly stood up, bowed to the audience below, and then walked down from the stage with the ancient qin in her arms.

She lifted her skirt lightly, walking down the stage slowly, leaving a stir wherever she passed!

"Ms. Qin, I admire your talent very much. I wonder if we could have some in-depth artistic discussions!"

"Junior Sister Qin, actually, I have done some research on ancient qin scores. I can play pieces like Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms and Sunset Flute and Drum..."

"Hahaha, Ms. Qin, we must be soulmates. I actually have a collection of many famous ancient qins!"

A group of young men smitten by Qin Wanwan's beauty and talent clustered around her, with her cousin, Liu Yunfei, escorting her. Despite his efforts, the frenzied crowd showed no signs of relenting.

Qin Wanwan frowned, abandoning her previous grace and tranquility on stage. She glanced at those lecherous fellows and coldly declared, "Get out of the way, you annoying dogs!"

Indeed, this was the true nature of this wilful lady!

However, this only stirred up these young gentemens’ desires to conquer a woman’s heart even more, causing them to pursue her even more relentlessly.

Just as Qin Wanwan was about to explode with anger, she suddenly caught sight of Ling Feng. Clenching her teeth, she shouted, "Stupid Ling Feng, listen up! The first thing I want you to do is help me chase away these annoying flies!"
