Chapter 1186: Famous Zither

Translator: Lordbluefire

Sun Mo didn’t answer Lu Zhiruo’s question. Rather, he was staring at Qin Yaoguang curiously.

“You can tell the problem of his music from hearing it?”

If this was the case, this meant that this young girl that loved snacking still had some potential that he hadn’t discovered.

“I feel his music is very ear-piercing and isn’t like a human sound!”

Qin Yaoguang explained.

“Not a human sound?”

Lu Zhiruo didn’t understand the meaning of these words.

“The music of this fellow is definitely produced using some secret techniques.”

Qin Yaoguang shrugged. “Don’t ask me, I don’t know either. In any case, it’s very unpleasant to listen to!”

Sun Mo turned his head away and no longer looked at Qin Yaoguang. However, he still felt somewhat suspicious in his heart.

At this moment, almost everyone on the scene was immersed in Wei Wu`an’s music. Even the Music Saint Li Guinian was no exception.

Lu Zhiruo was uncomfortable and this ought to be due to her instinct. But what about Qin Yaoguang?

Naturally, Sun Mo wasn’t affected. This was because he had comprehended the Battlegod Catalog when he was in the Battlegod Canyon. His mental strength had been tempered by the Battlegod Will, so he wouldn’t be affected by such mental-type techniques.

Sun Mo thought about it and decided to cast the Battlegod Halo. However, the range only covered his students. After all, if too many people awakened, Wei Wu`an would be able to see through it.

Li Ziqi cast a glance around her before silently pondering. After that, she understood the reason and she couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

“Teacher, why is the music so piercing to the ears?”

Xianyu Wei was shocked.

This plains-girl felt that even she could play the zither better than him. How did he dare to show his face up the stage with such skills?

“Hasn’t Ziqi already said? Cheating that is not discovered isn’t considered cheating!”

Sun Mo chortled.

“Is it a mental-type technique?”

Helian Beifang analyzed.

“It is that zither!”

Li Ziqi got it right with a single sentence. After that, she asked, “Teacher, the Ancient Sage halo should be able to block his music, right?”

“Mn!”

Sun Mo felt very gratified. He didn’t use the Ancient Sage halo because he wanted Li Ziqi to discover this for herself.

This proved that Li Ziqi was truly very outstanding.

“That zither was created using an ancient refining method. The weaponsmith sacrificed the parrots living near the coast of the miracle sea and made the zither with them. These parrots could emit a sound to cause their prey to unknowingly sink inside an illusion!”

Sun Mo explained.

Wei Wu`an’s zither skills were ordinary. He solely depended on his musical instrument to win.

“Aren’t this type of parrots very rare?”

Lu Zhiruo was curious.

“They are extremely rare and because they live in the deep sea region, unless one is very lucky, they won’t be able to catch one. But now, they might have already become extinct.”

Sun Mo surveyed Wei Wu`an’s guzheng*. Compared to a musical instrument, it was more like a killing weapon. If this was in the hands of a music sage, the power would be even greater.

Not long later, Wei Wu`an’s performance ended and everyone burst into thunderous applause.

“Excellent, excellent. My dear prince, I wonder what is the name of this music piece?”

Li Guinian shamelessly asked.

Si~

The sound of everyone inhaling a breath of cold air could be heard because the underlying meaning of Li Guinian’s sentence was that he himself wanted to learn it.

“This is a music piece I learned from an ancient book. It’s unworthy of a mention.”

Wei Wu`an smiled.

Li Guinian had a regretful look on his face. Since Wei Wu`an put it this way, it meant that he didn’t want to teach him.

“The first part of this battle has ended. The crown princes, please take a break and make your preparations. 15 minutes later, the second part will commence and it will be a battle between your respective instrumental ensembles!”

As the ceremonial officer announced, a huge commotion rang out from the crowd.

The ordinary folks began engaging in discussion, the peddlers started hawking their wares, and the fellows from various gambling dens started to draw people in to bet.

The great casinos had stopped accepting bets. But these smaller gambling dens wanted to take the chance to earn more.

The ordinary folks felt that they could rely on the performances of the crown princes in the first round to continue betting. In truth, no matter if they won or lost, they would be losing money. It was because 80% to 90% of these gambling tens were opened by swindlers. They would just take the money and run.

No one in the Great Xia’s diplomatic group spoke. This was because Xia Taikang was responsible for everything, so they could just listen to orders. As for training? There was no need to do so. With the presence of ‘Phoenix’, they would win for sure.

In Chu’s diplomatic group area, Xiang Zhao was eating snacks. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was stopped by his followers, he would have gone to the Great Tang’s resting area.

“Make wise use of my time to revise? There’s no need for that. Other than Jiang Yuzhen being a little troublesome, the others are newbies.”

Xiang Zhao was very confident in himself.

(If you speak about ruling a country and planning for the economy, I might not be able to do it. But if you speak about playing, no one understands that more than me!)

In her tent, Jiang Yuzhen was seated down on the mat. Her expression was solemn as she sharpened her long sword. However, her mind was solely thinking about Sun Mo. She wondered how his performance would be.

If this continued, Great Tang would lose for sure.

Just as Jiang Yuzhen had expected, the current atmosphere in the Great Tang’s tent was very heavy.

“Teacher, can you think of a solution?”

Li Xuan pleaded.

Li Xuan’s mentality collapsed after he had heard Jiang Yuzhen and Wei Wu`an’s zither skills.

(No matter what medicine I eat, I can’t win against them!)

“What idea can I have? Since his skill is inferior, he can only concede and do his best to prepare for the next round!”

Han Cangshui’s face was black. (I’ve told you not to eat the alchemy pill, but you refused to listen and hurt your body for nothing. Not only that, but you even failed to win.)

Li Xuan felt very helpless. He glanced at Sun Mo wanting to ask if he had any solutions. However, he knew that his personal teacher had a very bad relationship with Sun Mo. Hence, he didn’t dare to speak.

“Teacher Sun, what do you think?”

Li Xiu spoke. She didn’t want to lose.

“We can still win, but if we want to win beautifully, we have to pay out something more.”

Sun Mo smiled. He then lowered his head and whispered something to Li Ziqi.

“Hmph, stop bragging. Among the four competitors, our crown prince only has a chance to win against Xia Taikang. He is inferior when compared to the others.”

Han Cangshui coldly snorted.

He was also very unhappy. As Li Xuan’s personal teacher, he would also lose face if the crown prince lost.

(Should I use the alchemy pills and increase the dosage? Forget it, what should I do if he dies from an overdose?)

Han Cangshui thought of his own plans and was prepared to wait for a little longer.

“Even if you can’t, it doesn’t mean that my teacher cannot!”

Qin Yaoguang spoke.

“That’s right!”

Xianyu Wei helped. But when Han Cangshui glared over, she immediately hid behind Qin Yaoguang.

“Truly having no respect for their elders. Sun Mo, is this how you teach disciples?”

Han Cangshui berated in anger.

“Is this the time to fight about such a thing? Win first before we speak about anything else!”

Sun Mo didn’t care about winning or losing, but since the little sunny egg wanted to win, he would help her.

When Li Xuan heard this, his eyes brightened. “Great Teacher Sun, what should I do?”

“Just do your best and leave the rest for Ziqi to handle.”

Sun Mo hesitated but still decided to advise him. “As for those pills, it’s best to eat them less frequently as they are not good for the body.”

Swish~

Li Xuan’s face immediately turned red from anger as he felt he had been slighted by Sun Mo. Secondly, it was because his secret had been exposed.

“Great Teacher Sun, from your words, does it mean that you have no regard for me, the crown prince?”

(Since you don’t want to help me, I won’t be polite anymore either.)
