Chapter 114: Watching the Performance (2)

"There's something like that?" Lin Xiao asked in astonishment. He couldn't believe that the powerful cultivators still liked to show off. Well, he had to admit that showing off felt good because one would be admired by the people around him.

"…yes."

Even Wenren Yu felt a bit helpless, but he had already visited several cities back then. While he was not that fond with how the riches used their money, he still knew that they all people who appreciated arts. For some powerful cultivators, when they had reached the last stage they could possibly achieve in their live, they would have no other choice but to pick other hobbies.

One of the hobbies that they picked in the end was to appreciate arts and also watching performance. Flaunting their money was also something very common, which was how the special pavilion was born in this place.

Lin Xiao looked at the residence once more. "Isn't cultivators' goal is to reach the peak and understanding of the world?"

"Not everyone can reach the peak," Wenren Yu said helplessly. His eyes also showed traces of longing. "Many wished to reach the peak, but not everyone had the chance. The difference in talent, attainment, and chance created the difference."

How many people wished to become powerful cultivator yet they stuck in certain stage?

When they finally lost hope to reach higher stages, they would shift their attention to other things. Aside from teaching the younger generations so that they would be able to replace him, they could also start another hobby where they would be able to make sure that they used their time properly.

"Right."

"Brother, are we going to watch?"

"Ah? Of course!"

With that reminder, Lin Xiao rushed to the back. As the others have said, there was a separate smaller residence. It was usually called as pavilion and there was also shorter gate that was placed there. That was the mark for outsiders. They could watch but they were not allowed to get close.

Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed when he looked at the wall that surrounded the first residence. For some reason, there was a faint feeling that the dragon marking that was supposed to be protecting this residence was lower than before.

'Lin Hu.'

'Why do you call me again?' Lin Hu asked in annoyance. He was about to sleep when Lin Xiao bothered him.

'The dragon mark's power is weaker here?'

'Oh, yeah.'

'Why?'

'The marking is placed on the wall and naturally it's embedded into the materials deeply. However, the area at the back is already renovated and probably destroyed in the past. In here, the power is only around 1 percent of the power at the front gate.'

Lin Xiao was stunned. 'You're saying that if I want to attack this residence, the backyard is much weaker?'

'Yes, it's weaker, but there are more people guarding the place. If you wish to get yourself killed, I suggest choosing another method.'

At this point, Lin Xiao abandoned the thoughts of trying to sneak into the residence. He was only thinking of doing it for fun because he was curious what kind of training place that the richest have. But if there were already so many guard here, he should just forget about it.

The people all had gathered. Lin Xiao and the other two were stuck in the middle, staying low and not attracting anyone's attention.

Tring!

When the first sound was made, Lin Xiao shifted his attention to the front. He didn't realize it but the members of Street Performance had already gathered. Some women moved to the front and began to dance while Sui Wenyan was staying at the back and started to play the zither.

Melodious sound rang out from her zither, capturing everyone's attention.

Lin Xiao's first intention to come was to find the powerful people who were also nobles. But when he started to hear the sound, he felt that his entire attention was sucked into the song.

It was so comforting. He felt as if he had fallen into a soft bed and could smell something sweet.

Just as he was about to feel the sensation deeper, he was struck from the side.

Bump!

"Wha…?"

"Ssh!" Wenren Yu stopped Lin Xiao from shouting. There were some people who already shot them a glare before focusing their attention to the front again. Their eyes turned misty and hazy for a moment.

Lin Xiao was stunned when he saw it all then looked at Wenren Yu. He whispered, "What happened?"

"Sui Wenyan's attack is Zither sound," Wenren Yu said helplessly. When Sui Wenyan attacked him with Mountain Punch back then, he knew that she was not serious. After all, the real attack that Sui Wenyan had would be soundwave attack. If one got hit by her soundwave attack, they would fall into deep dream.

Her attack was directed straight to one's soul. It might not be able to attack those who had higher cultivation than her easily, but to make those weaker fall into a trance was easy for Sui Wenyan.

When they didn't put on any guard, they would fall to her attack very easily.

"This is an attack?"

"No." Wenren Yu pursed his lips. "She's just training her Qi control by playing the zither. However, ordinary people would fall into trance and unable to wake up on their own. Whenever you're in front of Sui Wenyan, make sure that you have your guard on so that you won't fall into a trance."

He knew very well that once someone fall into a trance, Sui Wenyan would be able to even influence their consciousness. There was already a lot of incident in the past when Sui Wenyan directly used her soundwave attack to eliminate her opponent, thus making her way to the top 10 students of Outer Sect Disciples.

Lin Xiao nodded. "I didn't know that there's an attack like this."

"Well, cultivators' world is vast. You'll see many others who didn't attack physically directly as your rank grow higher."
