1108: Chapter 285_7 1108: Chapter 285_7 “Just…”
Qian Yu looked at Cao Zhen and asked, “However, that poem seems incomplete, Master Cao.
I wonder what the rest is?”
Cao Zhen gently shook his head and said, “The rest, I’d rather leave unsaid.”
The remaining two lines of the poem, if spoken, would clearly convey the intention of pursuing the other person.
Although he was struck by Immortal Bi Yue’s stunning presence, he harbored no such thoughts.
He had never considered matters of men and women.
The reason he recited that poem was merely a spontaneous expression, an uncontrollable utterance that followed his admiration of something beautiful!
Qian Yu let out a sigh full of regret and said, “If I have the chance, I definitely want to hear the last two lines from Master Cao.”
While she conversed with Cao Zhen, the attention of the people around them had once again fallen on Immortal Bi Yue.
“Immortal Bi Yue, how come you’ve arrived?”
“Immortal, we’ve already found our performers, and we’re just about to practice in advance before seeking you out.”
“Immortal…”
Immortal Bi Yue did not exude any coquettish allure; instead, she possessed an untouchable quality, only to be admired from afar.
And yet, people couldn’t help but fixate their gazes upon her.
Immortal Bi Yue moved with a grace that caused subtle sounds with each step.
Her mere walking seemed enchanting, every step resonating with a kind of rhythm, appearing to tread upon the very hearts of the onlookers.
As she walked, she spoke softly, “I was passing by and heard someone playing the Moon Night Dance.
I couldn’t help but come over.
I apologize for interrupting everyone.”
Her voice was neither sharp nor deep, nor was it sweetly melodious.
It seemed quite ordinary but for some reason, it was felt to be magnetic and delightful to the listeners’ ears, leaving their hearts tingling.
“Not an interruption at all.”
“It’s our honor that Immortal Bi Yue could come.”
“Immortal Bi Yue, our performance should complement yours, please offer us your guidance.”
Cao Zhen, hearing the surrounding flattery, really wanted to tell everyone that flatterers often end up with nothing.
Considering they might not understand, and it would be too troublesome to explain, he refrained from speaking out.
Immortal Bi Yue chuckled and shook her head, “In terms of musical rhythm, I’m far inferior to you gentlemen, and I couldn’t possibly offer any guidance.”
As she spoke, she walked up to Cao Zhen and stood before him, then looked at him and asked in a soft voice, “Was it you, Master, who played the zhu earlier?”
Upon seeing Immortal Bi Yue for the first time, Cao Zhen was already taken aback, but now, facing her directly, his heart uncontrollably quickened its pace, and he nodded slightly, “Yes, it was me playing the zhu.”
Immortal Bi Yue glanced at the zhu in front of Cao Zhen and said softly, “Just now, outside, I heard the Master playing.
Though the sound was pleasing, I felt that you weren’t playing with your full strength.”
Her words had just ended when Wu Se immediately praised, “Immortal Bi Yue, you say you’re not proficient in musical rhythm, but with just that one comment, you show that you possess a deep understanding of it.
This Cao Zhen, Master Cao, indeed did not give his all.
Previously, we heard Master Cao playing outside the Cloud Reaching Sect’s gates.
That sound was one of the most melodious zhu sounds I’ve heard in my life, not even second to our mentors in the Five Sounds Sect.”
Speaking, he paused for a moment, then continued, “Unfortunately, Master Cao’s skill is too high.
In order to play with us, he could not fully exert his prowess on the zhu.”
Immortal Bi Yue’s gaze did not shift at Wu Se’s interjection; she kept her eyes fixed on Cao Zhen.
After Wu Se stopped speaking, she asked in a low voice, “Tonight, when the night falls and all is quiet, will Master Cao have time?”
Cao Zhen was momentarily stunned.
What was this situation?
What was going on?
You’re asking if I have time, and specifically during the deep quiet of the night?
What do you want to do?
Are you flirting with me?
