"What is the name of this song?”Sitting in a high position, Princess Keke muttered to herself as she recalled the meaning of the lyrics.
"Big brother, you're so awesome!" In the hall, Qin Zixuan covered her mouth and couldn't take her eyes off Chen Ning.
Just as everyone in the hall was still in shock, in a study room of the City Lord's Mansion, the Xia City Lord stood in front of the window. His sharp eyes immediately saw Chen Ning singing loudly on the balcony. Chen Ning sang more and more heartily. His Celestial Chi surged as he played and sang, and his voice spread throughout the entire City Lord's Mansion.
Even City Lord Xia, who had lived for so many years, could not help but sigh. This was the first time he had heard such a soul-stirring song. He did not expect that there would be such a talented kid hidden in the Heaven's Wall City.
However, Chen Ning was unaware of all this. After he played and sang twice, his excited expression gradually calmed down. He let out a long breath and felt comfortable. It had been a long time since he had sung to his heart's content. He picked up the zither and stood up. He did not know if Princess Keke was satisfied. In any case, he had quickly recovered. He could not help but look towards the hall.
Everyone who had been discussing Chen Ning was now stunned by Chen Ning's performance. They looked at Chen Ning in shock and disbelief as he stood up with his zither in hand. Ouyang Xin was overjoyed after recovering from the shock. Chen Ning was not only talented in cultivation, but he was also so talented. I, Ouyang Xin, was right.
Chen Ning rubbed his nose in embarrassment when he saw everyone looking at him like that. He said to everyone,"I admit that I'm indeed very outstanding, but I'll be embarrassed if you guys look at me like this.”After saying that, he deliberately put on an embarrassed look.
Everyone who had recovered from their shock heard Chen Ning's words. Their faces changed slightly. They had seen people with thick faces, but they had never seen someone with such a thick face. Ouyang Xin and Shangguan Wan 'er shook their heads and chuckled. They couldn't understand Chen Ning's behavior. Sometimes, he was cold to the point of death, and sometimes, he was shameless. Princess Keke was also amazed by Chen Ning's shocking song. However, Chen Ning paused for a moment before she smiled at Chen Ning and said,""Young Master Chen Ning's performance has truly shocked Keke. I wonder if Young Master Chen Ning can write a copy of the zither score and give it to Keke?”His words were filled with anticipation!
"Of course." Chen Ning replied with a smile. Since Princess Keke asked him for the score, she obviously wouldn't blame him for his previous mistake.
Guan Jie, who was standing in the hall, stared at Chen Ning with a dark expression. His eyes were filled with hatred as he gritted his teeth and muttered,"I didn't think that a piece of trash at the bottom of the hierarchy like you could actually play and sing such a moving song. Hmph, but I definitely won't let you off for the auction.”Hearing Guan Jie's murmurs, a young man in black beside him asked in a low voice,"Guan Jie, could this be the person who caused you to lose a few thousand magnetite at the auction that day?”
"That's right. Cousin Li Ke, you must help me kill him. Otherwise, I, Guan Jie, will find it hard to swallow this anger.”Guan Jie whispered. His cousin Chen Ke was the son of his mother's brother. He had a close relationship with him and was very fond of him. Hearing this, Li Ke frowned and said in a low voice,""Cousin, I'm afraid this is not easy to handle. If we were outside, we could easily kill him without even needing to do anything. However, didn't you hear that even princess Keke is asking him for the score? If he is appreciated by princess Keke, our actions will cause princess Keke to be dissatisfied. Moreover, he is quite close to Ouyang Xin. This…"
" Cousin Li Ke, I've already investigated his background. He's just a low-class family from Lanxian Town. Even if Ouyang Xin is very close to him, Ouyang Xin can't cause any trouble without me. Perhaps the song just now was copied by someone else. Later, you challenge Chen Ning under the pretext of celebrating Princess Keke's birthday and then take the opportunity to kill him. Life and death are very normal in martial arts competitions. As for Princess Keke's blame, I'll ask my father to take action.”Guan Jie said viciously. Li Ke nodded slightly and said,"Since cousin says so, then I'll challenge him later and wait for an opportunity to kill him."”
When Princess Keke asked Chen Ning for the score, everyone in the hall was surprised and envious. Although they did not know Chen Ning's background, Chen Ning's performance and heroic voice had won the respect of many people. They were envious because Chen Ning had caught Princess Keke's attention. At this moment, Qin Zixuan was even more delighted. If it were not for the fact that there were so many people here, she would have shouted Chen Ning's name to look for him.
When Chen Ning finished writing the score and handed it to a maid of Princess Keke, Qin Zixuan ignored her sister's advice and was about to come to Chen Ning. At this moment, a voice rang out from the hall. Not only did Qin Zixuan stop in her tracks, but it also drowned out the discussion in the hall. " Your Highness, today is your birthday, and Young Master Chen Ning has also presented a song. However, strength is the most important thing in Xuantian Continent. I believe that since Young Master Chen Ning is so talented, his strength is naturally not weak. I'm itching to spar with him. It can also be considered as a birthday gift for Your Highness. I hope that Your Highness can fulfill my wish."”Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and saw a young man dressed in luxurious black clothes cupping his hands at Princess Keke.
"Li Ke, aren't you afraid that others will laugh your head off? You're a third-tier mystic cultivator, and you're sparring with my brother, Chen Ning, a seventh-tier mystic cultivator? Your Highness, Chen Ning is obviously using his position to take revenge. Your Highness cannot agree to this.”Li Ke's words shocked everyone. Ouyang Xin immediately stepped forward and reprimanded Li Ke for using his official position to take revenge. Then, she said this to Princess Keke. Ouyang Xin and Guan Jie had known each other since they were young. Naturally, she knew that the person who challenged Chen Ning was Guan Jie's cousin, Li Ke.
Hearing this, Li Ke seemed to have a plan and immediately cupped his hands."Your Highness, I have no intention of using my official position to take revenge. Just now, Young Master Ouyang said that Chen Ning was a Seventh Level Mystical Warrior. Then, I will compress my strength and use the strength of a Seventh Level Mystical Warrior to spar with Chen Ning.”
When Princess Keke heard Ouyang Xin's words, she also felt that it was inappropriate. However, Li Ke's subsequent words were fair and straightforward, and Chen Ning's song just now had indeed shocked her. She also had a good impression of Chen Ning. She could not help but look at Chen Ning and smile."Young master Chen Ning, I don't know what you think about this proposal. If you are unwilling, I won't force you.”Commandery Princess Keke did not accept Chen Ke and Ouyang Xin's suggestion. Instead, she gave the choice to Chen Ning.
After hearing Princess Keke's words, both Li Ke and Ouyang Xin could not say anything else. They could only look at Chen Ning himself. Ouyang Xin was anxious. Chen Ning, don't agree.
Seeing that the princess and everyone else were looking at him, Chen Ning smiled and said,""Cough cough…There's no hurry to spar. Please, someone give me a belt first. Let me tie my hair. My belt was blown away by the wind.”After saying that, Chen Ning touched her long hair that fell over her shoulders, and a bitter expression appeared on her face.
.........
Chen Ning's words stunned everyone. What's going on? She's looking for you to spar with her, but you're asking if everyone has belts and saying that they're not in a hurry. You're looking down on Chen Ke too much. "Big brother, I have it. I'll give it to you.”Just as everyone was looking at Chen Ning speechlessly, a voice was heard. Qin Zixuan finally broke free from the woman in white's hand and ran toward Chen Ning. She held a small purple rubber band in her hand and handed it to Chen Ning. Her cute little face was flushed red, and she looked at Chen Ning shyly. "Eh? Miss Zi Xuan, you're here too." Chen Ning's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Zixuan. It was all thanks to Qin Zixuan and her sister that he was seriously injured in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. He smiled.
"Chen Ning, do you dare to accept the challenge? If you don't dare, just say it. Don't take the opportunity to change the topic.”Li Ke shouted when he saw Chen Ning ignoring him and chatting with a little girl.
"Big brother, you were so badly injured last time. Don't fight with him.”Qin Zixuan looked at Chen Ning gently. After saying that, he waved his fist at Li Keyang. Chen Ning smiled at Qin Zixuan and took the purple rubber band from Qin Zixuan's hand to tie up her hair. He patted Qin Zixuan's delicate shoulder and strode out."Since Young Master Li Ke wants to spar, I will naturally do as you wish. It can also be considered as a birthday gift for the princess.”Since Li Ke had said that he would only use the strength of a seventh level cultivator, Chen Ning naturally would not refuse. It was a good opportunity to test his own power.
Upon hearing Chen Ning's words, Princess Keke's face revealed a hint of approval as she said,""Alright, in that case, let's go to the arena outside to cheer for the two of you.”Following that, he walked out of the hall accompanied by a maidservant, followed by a group of distinguished families from the Heaven's Wall City.
On a spacious high ground, everyone came to the stage. Li Ke was the first to jump onto the stage. His movements were clean and neat, attracting cheers from the crowd. While Ouyang Xin scolded him for his recklessness, Chen Ning also slowly walked up to the martial arts stage. Compared to Li Ke's elegance and agility, Chen Ning seemed quite relaxed.
When the two of them were standing on the training platform, Li Ke held a black spear and looked at Chen Ning with a mocking expression. He channeled the Celestial Chi in his body into the spear, causing it to emit a faint white light. He remembered Guan Jie's words before he went on the stage, asking him to take the opportunity to kill Chen Ning on the stage. His eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. Chen Ning stood in front of Li Ke with a long sword in his hand. He looked at Li Ke and said,"Young Master Li Ke, please do it." Li Ke's face flashed with anger when he heard Chen Ning's tone. He could not help but feel a chill in his eyes. In his opinion, Chen Ning was looking down on him. He kicked off the stage and shot toward Chen Ning with his spear.
Chen Ning smiled. With a sway of his feet, his entire body flashed forward like a ghost. The longsword in his hand emitted a faint purple-green light as he stabbed at Li Ke with lightning speed.”With a crisp sound, the tip of Chen Ning's sword and Li Ke's spear collided. Seeing that his longsword and Li Ke's spear had collided, Chen Ning immediately circulated the Celestial Chi in his body and continuously poured it into the longsword. Li Ke's face was instantly shocked. Then, he felt a powerful force being transmitted from Chen Ning's longsword, causing the spear in Li Ke's hand to tremble continuously. Chen Ning immediately stomped on the ground and the longsword in his hand pushed against the tip of the spear. Li Ke's expression changed drastically. The powerful impact from the spear caused him to stagger back five to six steps before he could regain his balance. The hands that were holding the spear also started to tremble slightly. He felt a tingling sensation in his hands. Li Ke turned pale with fright as he looked at Chen Ning, who did not take advantage of the situation to attack. His face was filled with disbelief. Although he had already suppressed his strength to the seventh level of a Mystical Cultivator to fight Chen Ning, he was still a third level Mystical Cultivator after all. He couldn't even take a single sword strike from Chen Ning.
The spectators on the stage were all in an uproar as they looked at Chen Ning in disbelief. This scene had a huge impact on their hearts. "Could it be that Chen Ning is hiding his cultivation?”Many people thought to themselves.
Commandery Princess Keke took a deep breath and stared at Chen Ning in shock for a while. Then, she gave a look to the maid beside her, asking her to check if Chen Ning was really a Seventh Level Mystical Cultivator. The maid standing beside Commandery Princess Keke nodded slightly, and her eyes flashed as she looked at Chen Ning. Then, she shook her head at the Commandery Princess, indicating that she had not hidden her strength. Seeing the maid shake her head, a hint of surprise appeared on Commandery Princess Keke's face.
"Kid, I was just careless just now. Now, I'll let you see my true strength.”Seeing everyone looking at Chen Ning in surprise, Li Ke felt embarrassed. He no longer cared about the previous agreement. After he finished speaking, he no longer concealed his strength and rushed towards Chen Ning like a blur.
Seeing Li Ke shamelessly break the agreement and directly use the strength of a Xuan Master to charge at him, Chen Ning's originally smiling face instantly turned grave. Sensing the terrifying power that erupted from Li Ke's spear, he did not dare to take it head-on. Immediately, he relied on the Azulet Sword Art's movement technique to quickly dodge.”Li Ke, who was no longer concealing himself, unleashed his third-tier Mystique Adept strength at an extremely fast speed. He left a pitch-black mark on the stage that Chen Ning had just flashed past, but it did not damage the stage at all. It seemed that the stage was extremely sturdy. Li Ke's third-tier Mystique Adept strength was clearly unable to damage it in the slightest.
The crowd below the stage saw that Li Ke did not abide by his previous promise at all and actually flew into a rage out of humiliation and used the strength of a third-stage mystic cultivator." This Li Ke is too shameless. Isn't this bullying?”Many people started to criticize Li Ke. However, when Guan Jie looked at them with a dark gaze, they all shut their mouths and stopped talking. It was obvious that Guan Jie and the others couldn't afford to offend them. However, Ouyang Xin obviously didn't fall for his trick. He immediately said angrily,"Li Ke, you're really shameless. You actually used your mystic cultivator cultivation to deal with my brother. Do you really think that the princess doesn't exist?”However, for some reason, Princess Keke did not stop him when she saw this scene. Her eyes were still fixed on the stage.
When Qin Zixuan saw that Chen Ning had dodged Lee's shot in a sorry state, her heart instantly tensed up. The little girl did not care about this. When she saw that Lee had not kept his promise and was shamelessly going back on his words to her big brother, she was about to speak up for Chen Ning when the woman in white quickly covered her mouth. She had no choice. Guan Jie was the young master of the butler. The Qin family could not afford to offend him.
