Xu Que finished speaking. All the people listening were totally confused. Even Miss Dong was puzzled and didn’t know what Xu Que was talking about.

“Lord Wang, what I want to know is the musical instrument used to play this composition!” Miss Dong came to herself and asked seriously. Her words reminded all the rest of the people here that they didn’t know what kind of musical instrument Xu Que was playing either.

If Miss Dong hadn’t mentioned the musical instrument, they wouldn’t have realized that the musical instrument used to play his composition was not the Guqin or Guzheng that they were familiar with.

“This is strange! If Miss Dong hadn’t reminded us, we wouldn’t have realized this yet. It seems as if we haven’t heard the musical sound created by this musical instrument before!” People were puzzled. They screened all the musical instruments they knew about in their minds but failed to find one which could make this kind of sound.

“What the hell is this musical instrument? How could it make such a crisp and penetrating sound?”

“Could it be that this gui…gui… oh, right, guitar was invented by Xu Que?”

“If we can master this musical instrument, just think how many more new compositions will be made!”

Many people were talking about this instrument.

Xu Que looked at them with a faint smile. The musical instrument used to play Beethoven’s Fur Elise was a piano. These people only knew the ancient musical instruments like Guzheng, Guqin, and flute, etc. They had never seen a piano before! They were so curious about the guitar at this moment – can you imagine how they’d react if they heard a piano!

“Heh, heh, since you’ve realized it is a new musical instrument, I will broaden your horizons today!” Xu Que waved his hands with a smile, and then he took out a brand-new piano.

Bang!

A piano was placed on the ground, making a dull sound. Everyone’s eyes widened as they looked at this musical instrument with white and black keys curiously.

Suddenly, Xu Que swept over all the piano keys with his fingers. A crisp and penetrating sound echoed throughout the building. The onlookers were immediately excited.

Then, in front of these dumbfounded onlookers, Xu Que’s ten fingers started to dance on the keys of the piano merrily.

Deng-deng-deng-deng-deng…

Deng-deng-deng-deng-deng…

He played Fate, which was another masterwork of Beethoven.

Instantly, the overbearing and majestic musical sounds impacted the onlookers violently like surging waves. Everyone was totally shocked and felt their hair stand on end because of the passionate melody.

“What…a powerful composition!”

“How could this be?”

“Why do I have a feeling that my blood is boiling!”

Many people were so shocked that they didn’t believe their eyes and ears.

Even Lu Zhouhe was impressed by this composition. He had never expected Xu Que to make such a magnificent composition, which put his composition to shame mercilessly.

Deng-deng-deng-deng!

Xu Que was playing the piano seriously. However, deep in his heart, he was laughing wildly. He had noticed the change of expression among the onlookers, which brought him tens of thousands of Acting Tough Points. He said nothing but continued to smile.

After all, Beethoven’s Fate was a master class composition on Earth. Of course, it didn’t mean this composition had no equal in this world. Also, it didn’t mean the piano was better than other musical instruments.

These people had never seen or used a heavy instrument like the piano. Also, this was their first time hearing such a strong musical sound. As a musician, Xu Que’s extraordinary performance had totally convinced the onlookers.

…

Behind the gauze curtain, Miss Dong had also been greatly shocked. She opened her mouth in a daze. It seemed she had totally been absorbed in this magnificent melody.

When Xu Que picked up the pace, people couldn’t help but hold their breaths and let out sighs of relief when the playing of the composition was finished. They were impressed by this composition during the entire process.

At last, Xu Que’s performance was finished.

The entire area fell into a dead silence.

Like soldiers who had returned from the battlefield, all the onlookers were sweating profusely but their hearts were full of refreshing feelings. Because when the composition was finished, they felt like they had defeated fate. Therefore, they were happy and relaxed.

“Great! The instrument is good and the composition is even better!” A young man stood up and shouted as he applauded vigorously, “Lord Wang, I am totally convinced by this composition. I will address you as Master Wang!”

“Master Wang?” Xu Que looked at the man with a faint smile.

The young man nodded his head earnestly. “Right! We underestimated you before. As an outstanding musician, you really deserve the title of Master!”

“Exactly! Master Wang is mighty!”

“Master Wang is awesome!”

The rest of the people also started to show their feelings reverently. This place was always a stage to show one’s genuine talents. Although most people detested Xu Que because of his past behavior, when he played this composition, they were totally convinced and were willing to call him Master Wang.

Only Lu Zhouhe and a few others didn’t want to admit defeat. They darkened their faces and kept silent because of their self-esteem or jealousy.

Behind the gauze curtain, Miss Dong had calmed down. She said gently, “Lord Wang, please forgive my negligence before. I didn’t expect you would be so good at music at such a young age. You really deserve the title of Master!”

“Alas! Guys, these titles like Lord or Expert are as transient as fleeting clouds, which I don’t care about at all!” Xu Que said, waving his hand modestly.

However, deep in his eyes, people could see the loneliness of an expert clearly.

Someone said, folding his hands in admiration, “Master Wang, I really admire your exemplary conduct and noble character. I misunderstood you before. Please forgive me!”

“Heh, heh, it doesn’t matter. As I said just now, fame and fortune are just fleeting clouds, which mean nothing to me!” Xu Que said.

Then he looked up at a 45-degree angle and sighed again, “While others are saying I’m mad, I am laughing at their shortsightedness! Guys, I am really glad to know all of you today! Farewell, and we’ll meet when fate beholds!”

After saying that, Xu Que stepped toward the gate, placing his hands behind his back. The onlookers were stunned.

What’s going on?

Is he going to leave?

He really acts like an expert!

“Wait, Master Wang, please hold on a moment, please!” Miss Dong’s voice rang out, stopping Xu Que suddenly.

She even stood up and walked out of the gauze curtain to catch up with Xu Que. Seeing that, the onlookers were quite disappointed for they thought they were already out of the competition.

Lu Zhouhe darkened his face and his eyes were full of kill intent.

Xu Que ignored the onlookers’ reactions. He turned around and said with a graceful smile, “Miss Dong, what can I do for you?”

This was the first time that Miss Dong saw Xu Que’s face clearly. His wicked smile stunned this lady a bit. She came to herself and asked with a red face, “You said…you want the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew, right?”

“Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew? No, since you said you are not in charge of that business, how could I force you to do something?” Xu Que shook his head.

“Master Wang, actually…I have a bottle of the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew with me. If you are really in urgent need of it, I can give it to you!” After saying that, Miss Dong lowered her head and didn’t dare to have eye contact with Xu Que again, like a little girl whose lie has been exposed.

“Oh?” Xu Que’s eyes lit up a bit, and he said curiously as if he was surprised, “Really? My god, this is great! Miss Dong, I am so touched! Could I give you a hug?”

“Ah?” Miss Dong was surprised.

She knew it was improper for men and women to even touch each other’s hands in passing objects. Xu Que had requested to hug her, which shocked her completely.

The rest of the people in the area also started to be curious.

Xu Que realized that what he had said was improper, so he said as he laughed loudly, “Hah, hah, take it easy. This is a tradition in my hometown. There is even a song about it!”

Then, Xu Que cleared his throat and started to sing as he stared at Miss Dong affectionately like Xue Zhiqian on Earth.

“I want to give you a hug as a friend, is it OK? Do you really mean it when you took a half-step backward? Your small movement hurt me seriously. I can only talk to you by acting as a gentleman….”

“Ah!” Miss Dong’s face turned red immediately. She covered her mouth with her hands and explained hurriedly, “Master Wang, just now I took two steps backward, not half a step!”

Swish!

Xu Que smiled and couldn’t continue his love song.

The half-step is just a lyric of the song! If you are not impressed by the song, it is OK. I didn’t expect you would discuss the number of steps with me!

Holy crap! You really embarrassed me!

“Master Wang, this is the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew! Please take it! However…besides the MP3 player you mentioned just now, could you also give me these two new musical instruments, please?” At this time, Miss Dong took out a small jade bottle as she looked at Xu Que eagerly.

Apparently, compared to Xu Que, she was more interested in the musical instruments. Xu Que didn’t expect that Miss Dong would not be impressed by his handsome face and extraordinary talents.

I never expected she would be more impressed by these compositions and musical instruments.

“Eh, of course!”

At last, Xu Que nodded his head and waved his hand to take out the piano and the guitar again. Then he gave them to Miss Dong together with the MP3 player.

Anyway, he had purchased those items with only three Acting Tough Points, which were nothing for him.

Miss Dong’s eyes lit up in excitement. She fixed them on the piano and the guitar and said curiously, “Master Wang, what are the names of these instruments again?”

Xu Que, who had been attracted by the Ten-Millennium-Flower-Dew, replied carelessly, “The name of this one is piano.”

“What about this? This is a guitar, right?” Miss Dong touched the guitar.

Xu Que nodded his head, “Right!”
