It was hard to imagine that a single zither piece could contain such a moving story.
Weaving the tale into the zither music allowed everyone to visualize the scene.
This was already an incredibly exquisite and profound technique of the Zither Dao.
Jun Xiaoyao, bathed in radiance as he played the zither, possessed an ethereal aura.
Everyone present seemed infected by the music, even feeling a sublimation of their state of mind.
As the song ended, the whole venue fell silent.
No one made a sound.
Because they were all still intoxicated by the sound of the zither.
Even Lu Yuan had a dazed expression on his face.
It was too perfect.
This zither piece was flawless.
Never mind the laymen; even the experts, or even a Great Grandmaster of the Zither Dao, would be filled with admiration!
After a long while, some people gradually regained their senses.
The surprise and admiration in their eyes were hard to hide.
Some even bowed slightly to Jun Xiaoyao.
Because this zither piece had elevated the state of mind of some, and vaguely, there were even signs of a Breakthrough.
Listening to this song was, to them, no less than a great Opportunity!
"Elegant, simply too elegant!"
"The lingering notes echo for three days..."
"I'm not very cultured, all I can say is holy crap, that sounded damn good!"
After the brief silence, an uproar erupted throughout the venue.
Princess Huo Linger couldn't help but exclaim, her glazed, beautiful eyes filled with stars of admiration.
In her eyes, Jun Xiaoyao was already a perfect, peerless man.
She hadn't expected him to be so versatile, with his Zither Dao skills being so superb.
Princess Huo Linger was absolutely infatuated; this was truly too perfect.
At the same time, many felt ashamed of their own offerings.
The gift Jun Xiaoyao presented was the truly elegant one.
What were the gifts they had brought? They were simply too vulgar!
This kind of spiritual resonance and enjoyment was what best suited Feng Luohan's intellectual and elegant personality.
Thinking of this, everyone realized that Feng Luohan didn't seem to have reacted yet.
They took a look and found that Feng Luohan was still in a slightly dazed state.
A moment later, she finally regained her senses.
Her delicate, white jade-like oval face was flushed, showing traces of daze, admiration, and emotion.
It was as if she had reached a spiritual climax and lost her soul.
"Young Master Jun, what is this song?"
Feng Luohan's breathing was slightly rapid as she stared at Jun Xiaoyao, as if looking at some rare treasure.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled calmly and said, "The name of this piece is High Mountains and Flowing Water."
"High Mountains and Flowing Water..."
Feng Luohan murmured to herself, then continued, "Then the story that Luohan heard in it earlier, could it be..."
"That's right, this zither piece indeed has a story..." Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.
Although they had already learned the story from the zither music earlier.
Jun Xiaoyao still briefly recounted the tale of Bo Ya breaking his strings.
After listening, everyone sighed with emotion.
Some even had strange looks in their eyes.
The so-called High Mountains and Flowing Water meeting a kindred spirit.
Jun Xiaoyao played this piece.
Could it be implying that Feng Luohan is his kindred spirit?
All the people present who admired Feng Luohan were just giving gifts and acting like sycophants, extremely vulgar.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao used a zither piece to express his thoughts.
How elegant this was!
The sentiment was simply too delicate!
And Feng Luohan, seemingly realizing this point as well, had a slight blush suffusing her jade-like cheeks.
For other gifts, Feng Luohan only offered polite thanks.
But she truly loved this zither piece; it perfectly matched her aesthetic and taste.
Coupled with Jun Xiaoyao, dressed in flowing white, as dashing as an immortal.
The way he played the zither, with such peerless grace and unmatched talent.
It was likely that only a heartless woman would feel nothing at all.
No, even a woman with a heart of stone would be moved and unable to remain calm.
Seeing Feng Luohan's rare, slightly flushed face.
Some men in the audience sighed inwardly.
They had lost.
Compared to Jun Xiaoyao's methods of wooing women.
They were too vulgar, too low-class!
Huo Xuan was also stunned, then revealed a bitter smile.
If it were Lu Yuan, that pig trying to root up Feng Luohan, this cabbage, he naturally would have been the first to disagree.
But in Jun Xiaoyao's case.
Honestly, in every aspect, he was perfect, with no flaws to be found.
If he were to lose to Jun Xiaoyao, Huo Xuan could only smile bitterly and concede.
Such a perfect, peerless man was not someone he could compare to.
As for Lu Yuan, seeing Feng Luohan's expression, he frowned, his face changing slightly.
Although he thought highly of himself and didn't like Feng Luohan that much.
She was still a woman with whom he had a marriage alliance.
Now that she was showing such an attitude toward another man, it displeased him.
But no matter how displeased he was, there was nothing he could do; he had to hold it in because he simply couldn't defeat him.
"Just wait, now is not the time..."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath.
At this moment, Feng Luohan seemed to struggle for a bit, but finally made up her mind and summoned the courage to say.
"Young Master Jun's zither piece makes Luohan feel as if she has heard celestial music, clearing her ears and mind."
"I wonder, after Luohan's birthday banquet ends, could I invite Young Master Jun to stay and teach Luohan this zither piece?"
"Of course, this zither piece is so elegant; if Luohan needs to pay some price, that is also fine."
As soon as Feng Luohan spoke.
The sound of countless men's hearts breaking echoed throughout the venue.
Feng Luohan wanted to keep Jun Xiaoyao alone.
What this represented was beyond doubt.
Yet they were defeated and completely convinced, with no complaints.
Jun Xiaoyao heard this and said calmly, "Lady Feng is joking. It is just a zither piece, what price could there be?"
"To be heard by someone who understands it, that is the best destination for a zither piece."
"If you wish to learn, I can naturally teach you. In your hands, this zither piece will surely be able to bloom with its own brilliance."
Jun Xiaoyao's words made Feng Luohan's beautiful face reveal a look of joy.
This was different from the polite smile she had shown before.
This was a true, heartfelt, joyful smile.
But at this moment, Princess Huo Linger, standing to the side, showed a somewhat jealous expression.
She suddenly reached out and hugged Jun Xiaoyao's arm, as if declaring her sovereignty, and then said.
"Master, you never told Linger that you could play the zither."
"This is not something worth mentioning," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
Seeing this scene, everyone present felt their heads buzzing.
Jun Xiaoyao had actually gained the favor of both Princess Huo Linger and Feng Luohan at the same time.
One had to know, making both of the Feng and Huo beauties submit was something all men in the Shanhai Star Realm dreamed of, yet could not achieve.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao had done it!
"Master is alone, Linger is worried, why not take Linger with you..." Princess Huo Linger said in a soft, coquettish voice.
Seeing this, Feng Luohan's expression remained calm, but she said.
"Miss Linger, I am only inviting Young Master Jun to learn how to play the zither piece, is there anything wrong with that?"
Princess Huo Linger raised her eyebrows and said, "Is it playing the zither, or playing with feelings?"
Feng Luohan lowered her long eyelashes and said, "Young Master Jun seems to be only Miss Linger's Revered Master, not your Dao Companion, right?"
"Is Miss Linger overstepping your bounds a bit?"
"Feng Luohan, you..."
Princess Huo Linger was speechless for a moment, biting her silver teeth slightly.
This Feng Luohan was definitely trying to steal her Revered Master!
Seeing this, everyone present was stunned, their eyes opened wide.
Are the Feng and Huo beauties fighting over a man?
