Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Huang Xiaolong Takes the Stage!
The elderly man in Tang suit hurriedly left.
Wei Feiyang stood behind the ancient zither, his gaze arrogantly sweeping over the crowd on the lawn, like a proud rooster.
There were a few women sitting on the lawn. Having listened to Wei Feiyang’s performance just now, they were now deeply infatuated with him, their eyes filled with adoration.
This young man was indeed brilliantly talented.
He was leagues above the typical spoiled, rich second generation.
The talents nurtured by ancient martial arts families were truly dragon and phoenix among people.
“So annoying…Is Miss Ying Aoshan really going to invite this arrogant, hypocritical guy to have lunch together… No~~~” Sun Wei muttered indignantly. She despised men like Wei Feiyang.
Soon, there were continuous sounds of flattering from the lawn—
“The sound of Young Master Wei’s zither is truly touching, the artistic conception is quite extraordinary! Without being a musical genius, it is impossible to play such wonderful music!”
“Ah~~~ Is this a piece of ancient music? The people of today who still study ancient music, and study it so deeply, are indeed extraordinary!”
“This melody should only exist in heaven, it’s rare to hear it in the world… That piece just now, I must say, made me feel like I had traveled back to ancient times!”
“Congratulations, Young Master Wei, on having the honor of having lunch with Miss Ying Aoshan… Ah, I’m so envious!”
“Hahaha~~~ Young Master Wei, could you tell us later what Miss Ying Aoshan really looks like?”
…
“Hehe~~” Wei Feiyang thoroughly enjoyed this pedestal feeling of being complimented and sought after, looking down on everything from above. He nodded his head smiling, looking very refined.
Hearing these nauseating words made Huang Xiaolong’s goosebumps all stand up, he couldn’t help saying, “It’s useless…”
“What? What did you say?” Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s words, Wei Feiyang’s pupils contracted like needles, his gaze sharply locked onto Huang Xiaolong, like two daggers stabbing directly at him!
Huang Xiaolong responded with an indifferent smile. “Ying Aoshan won’t appreciate your music. Just keep a low profile and stop dreaming that she’ll have lunch with you. Hehehe~~~”
After this sentence, all eyes fell on Huang Xiaolong.
“Hahahaha~~ Are you, jealous?” Wei Feiyang suppressed his fierce and bloodthirsty gaze, mocking Huang Xiaolong.
“In your rendition of ‘Phoenix Seeking Phoenix,’ the music may seem gorgeous at first listen, implying a pair of lovebirds. But the emotional depth is too plain. The strong love depicted in the original music was simply nonexistent in your rendition. Moreover, your excessive pursuit of skill over substance is too ostentatious. To put it simply, your rendition may fool those who don’t understand music, but those who do will only get more disgusted as they listen… I nearly threw up just now.” Huang Xiaolong said with a smirk.
“You! Are! Saying! What!” Faced with Huang Xiaolong’s slander, Wei Feiyang was infuriated to the point of disgrace. His eyes were filled with bloodshot, and if it hadn’t been for this place called Green Willow Villa, he would have already rushed forward to tear Huang Xiaolong into pieces!
As for Huang Xiaolong’s statements, the people on the lawn all scoffed at his words, thinking, ‘You don’t know anything! You’re just trying to vilify Wei Feiyang.’ Everyone heard Wei Feiyang’s music earlier, like heavenly melody, yet you disparaged it as worthless, demonstrating your intense jealousy!”
The people of the Sun Family were very uneasy, knowing if they had known earlier, they wouldn’t have allowed Huang Xiaolong to come to Green Willow Villa. Now it’s well done, they’ve completely offended Wei Feiyang!
This was an entity of semi-Grandmaster lineage!
“With your poor and shabby appearance, you understand music?” Wei Feiyang laughed in anger, exuding a cold aura, directly enveloping Huang Xiaolong.
Just then, the elderly man in Tang suit quickly walked back toward the lawn.
Wei Feiyang composed his emotions, sneered at Huang Xiaolong and said, “I’ll deal with you after my lunch with Miss Ying Aoshan!”
The elderly man in Tang suit arrived to the middle of the lawn, his gaze landed on Wei Feiyang. “Young Master Wei.”
“Hmm.” Wei Feiyang moved towards the elderly man in Tang suit, smiling. “Please lead me to meet Miss Ying Aoshan.”
“Er?” Seeing this, the elderly man paused and then shook his head. “Wait~~ Young Master Wei, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood. Just now, I asked Miss Aoshan, and she mentioned that your rendition of ‘Phoenix Seeking Phoenix’, didn’t touch her.”
“What?!!!!!!” Wei Feiyang’s face, which was full of triumph, instantly froze and turned gloomy. “Impossible! This is not possible!”
In an instant, Wei Feiyang’s anger skyrocketed, and he looked as if he was going to explode, his body shaking uncontrollably due to the rage.
The elder in Tang suit spoke calmly, “Miss Aoshan said that, Master Wei, your performance of ‘Phoenix Seeking its Mate’ initially seems glorious and speaks of lovebirds flying together. But the emotional expression was too plain. Moreover, you overly pursued displaying your skills, making it flamboyant but empty.”
Hiss!!!!!!
Miss Ying Aoshan’s appraisal of Wei Feiyang was identical to what Huang Xiaolong had said earlier!
All eyes were astonishedly directed at Huang Xiaolong!
Everyone even wondered if Huang Xiaolong and Ying Aoshan had planned their critique in advance! Of course, that was clearly impossible.
“Impossible!” Wei Feiyang finally lost his temper, his eyes emitting fury, completely out of control.
“Master Wei, please watch your manners.” The elder in Tang suit sneered, his eyes radiating a lightning-like glare. A single glance made Wei Feiyang shiver, not daring to act rashly!
It should be noted that the elder in Tang suit was a true Grandmaster in martial arts, condensing eleven threads of True Qi within his body, far surpassing a semi-Grandmaster like Wei Feiyang.
One glance, aura enveloping, heart-wrecking, and it immediately frightened Wei Feiyang into submission.
Although Wei Feiyang dared not utter another word, he looked at Huang Xiaolong with incomparably resentful eyes filled with killing intent, as if … it was all Huang Xiaolong’s fault that Ying Aoshan did not appreciate his music skill.
“Master Wei, please return to your seat.” The elder in Tang suit said indifferently.
“Yes.” Wei Feiyang dejectedly walked back to his seat.
“May I ask, who else would like to play a piece for Miss Aoshan?” The elder in Tang suit asked, casting his gaze around.
At this moment, everyone present was utterly disheartened.
Play what!
Even a superb Guqin piece played by Wei Feiyang was disparaged by Miss Ying Aoshan. Nobody else could surpass Wei Feiyang. Playing music now, isn’t that inviting humiliation?
For an entire three minutes, no one stood up.
The elder in Tang suit was a bit disappointed and shook his head. “Fine, if that’s the case, today’s gathering is over. You all may do as you please.”
The elder in Tang suit had ordered the guests to leave.
Many people stood up, dispiritedly preparing to leave.
Just at that moment!
“Eh~~~ Hold on. How about I play a piece.” Huang Xiaolong stood up giggling, heading toward the musical instruments on the lawn.
“Ah~ Little Long, you… can you really play the Guqin?” Sun Wei was greatly surprised.
All the eyes were on Huang Xiaolong.
“Humph! You, you understand music theory? You’re trying to impress!” Wei Feiyang sneered.
The elder in Tang suit paused, then still said, “Everyone, please be silent and listen to this young man play.”
Huang Xiaolong approached and chose a new Guqin, sitting cross-legged and placing the Guqin on his knees.
He slightly smiled.
Collected his emotions.
Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s temperament changed dramatically!
He became as elegant as a piece of jade brushed by the wind, pure and covered with snow, brimming with spiritual energy!
His ten fingers placed on the strings, ready to start playing…
