Chapter 316: Don’t fall for it

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As Wu Feng spoke, he turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi encouragingly.

All of the talents were stunned when they heard this. However, they recovered quickly. Even though it looked as though Wu Feng was giving up this golden opportunity to Fang Zhengzhi...

In actual fact...

It was a masterful stroke.

Wu Feng had been dissed by Yan Xiu just now. This was his chance to regain the upper hand.

There was no one under the age of 30 who dared to claim that they were more talented than Wu Feng in music.

The girl was right in front of him.

No matter how good Fang Zhengzhi was, he could not be better than Wu Feng. Getting the girl was just a matter of time.

Immortal Tune’s eyes showed no emotion after she heard Wu Feng’s words. Her eyes were icy and clear.

"Young Master Wu, I am not as talented as you make me out to be. Furthermore, I am of a lower status. How can I possibly be talked about in the same league as our imperial examination top scorer? However, if Young Master Fang is willing to indulge me, it will be my pleasure to perform a duet!"

"Hahaha... Immortal Tune, you are too humble. There are countless people who would jump at the opportunity to perform with you." Wu Feng chuckled, then turned to Fang Zhengzhi. "Young Master Fang, I am sure you will not turn down Ms Immortal Tune?"

All of the talents immediately jumped in.

"Young Master Fang, this invitation by Ms Immortal Tune is a golden opportunity."

"Exactly, exactly. We are not as reputable as you. We have no choice but to admire by the side."

"Young Master Fang, you topped the imperial examinations. Now you have the opportunity to perform with Ms Immortal Tune. We are envious of you."

All of the other talents showed expressions of jealousy.

Fang Zhengzhi’s mouth twitched. Damn it.

He knew exactly what the talents were thinking. However, he really did not know anything about music. There was no way he was going to fall into the trap.

He decided to ignore them.

He continued to sip tea and snack.

All of the talents hesitated, realizing that Fang Zhengzhi was still snacking on the nuts. They looked at each other. They all thought the same thing, Fang Zhengzhi probably doesn’t know music. That’s why he isn’t responding.

This was quite reasonable.

Fang Zhengzhi came from the villages. Even though he came into contact with the Law of Dao, music was a luxury he probably could not afford.

"Young Master Fang, do you not know how to make music?" One of the talents asked scornfully.

"Rubbish! Young Master Fang is a talent, how could he possibly not know music?"

"Exactly! Don’t talk rubbish!"

Two voices rebutted almost immediately.

However, right after, they smirked at Fang Zhengzhi.

Anyone in this world who did not know music or poetry was just a nerd.

Even though he could perform in the examinations, he would still be a laughing stock in social situations.

Immortal Tune gaze moved when she heard the discussion. She looked at Fang Zhengzhi.

Then, she curtsied to Wu Feng and began to walk towards Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu.

Wen Dabao, who was brooding, brightened up when he saw Immortal Tune walking over. His jaw dropped.

"Ms Immortal Tune... hi... I... I am Wen Dabao."

"Hello Young Master Wen."

"Ms Immortal Tune, I am a regular here. I listen to all of your songs..."

"Wen Dabao, can you shut up?" Ping Yang looked at Wen Dabao dismissively.

"..." Wen Dabao covered his mouth in fear.

"Young Master Fang, I am Immortal Tune. May I ask what instrument you are adept at? I will get someone to prepare it for you." Immortal Tune turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi.

"Piano. Do you have one here?" Fang Zhengzhi asked without raising his head.

"Piano?" Immortal Tune asked in confusion.

All of the other talents looked at each other, lost. They had never heard of a piano!

"Is he trying to make something up?"

All of the talents looked at each other doubtfully.

"The piano is a keyboard instrument that was invented in the ancient western world. It has 88 keys and three pedals. The one on the left is a softening pedal. It lowers the volume of the notes that are played. The one on the right is a damper pedal. It causes the notes that are played to sustain longer. The one in the middle is the sostenuto pedal. It allows the pianist to sustain certain notes whilst keeping the others unaffected." Fang Zhengzhi explained.

"Western world?!"

"Did he just say western world?! Is he..."

"How can that be?"

All of the talents were stunned when they heard what Fang Zhengzhi said.

Yan Xiu’s expression changed as well. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi awkwardly, but did not say anything.

Immortal Tune was also shocked. However, she recovered quickly.

"Young Master Fang is really talented. You even know the Western... Immortal Tune is not as talented. I would love to hear you play the piano, but we do not have the instrument here. Do you play any others?"

"Violin. Do you have it here? It looks like this..." Fang Zhengzhi nodded understandingly. Then, he sketched a picture of a violin on a piece of paper.

"Is that also from the west?" Immortal Tune’s eyes glimmered when she saw the sketch.

"Yes."

"I am truly sorry, but we do not have a violin."

"Then what about a cello?"

"We don’t have that either."

"You must have a guitar?"

"Erm... we don’t."

Fang Zhengzhi did not say anything else. He waved exasperatingly. His intentions were obvious. It’s not that I don’t want to perform, but they don’t have the instruments for me.

All of the other talents were stunned.

Violin, cello, guitar...

What the hell were these?

They had not heard of these instruments before.

This guy was just trying to shift the blame away from himself!

Fang Zhengzhi did not care about what the others thought. After all, what he had asked for exists, it just wasn’t in this world.

All of the talents were furious. However, they could not say anything. After all, Fang Zhengzhi was able to describe the instruments in detail, even sketching out how they looked like.

Wu Feng did not expect that Fang Zhengzhi would be this shameless. He never expected that Fang Zhengzhi would name instruments that didn’t exist!

However...

No matter how shameless Fang Zhengzhi was, the fact was that he could not play the duet. All he had to do now was invite Immortal Tune to perform the duet with him.

Everything was still within his control.

"Ms Immortal Tune, since Young Master Fang is not going to play the duet, how about I play that duet with you?" Wu Feng bowed towards her.

He looked like a knight in shining armor.

"I heard that Young Master Wu has learnt the true art of playing the jade flute from the Clear Water Sage. I am sure that their duet will be a story for the ages."

"I wonder which song Young Master Wu will choose?"

All of the other talents chimed in with their approval.

Wu Feng smiled and coughed lightly. "I heard that Ms Immortal Tune’s Pingsha is extraordinary. It would be my honor to complement you with my flute."

Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of stopping Wu Feng. He had come here to enjoy the music. He did not care who was going to go off with Immortal Tune.

He looked at Immortal Tune.

Normally, Immortal Tune would take her leave at this moment.

However, she showed no intention of leaving.

"I am sorry for not being able to give you the instruments you wanted. How about I make it up to you by drinking a cup with you?" Immortal Tune gestured to Fang Zhengzhi.

Wu Feng, who was holding the jade flute, stood rooted to his spot.

He was ignored?

He was ranked third on the Rising Dragon Roll and the most talented musician of his generation! Furthermore, he had just met with the Emperor.

This meant that he should be in the top three of the theory examinations if there are no surprises.

That was clearly a much greater achievement than the top scorer for the imperial examinations!

However, it was a fact that he was ignored.

Immortal Tune did not even turn back to look at him.

All of the other talents were stunned as they looked at Immortal Tune in disbelief. Ever since Immortal Tune had started working here, she had never accompanied someone to drink.

Much less drink to make it up to someone!

More importantly...

She wasn’t at fault!

The instruments that he had asked for probably did not exist! Immortal Tune, don’t fall for his trap!

All of the talents wanted to vomit blood as they saw Immortal Tune raise her glass.
