Chapter 432 Carefree Scholar (2)

aiting for here.Anticipation, yet another one, but this time not for a young person, but for the person they are waiting for. All of them are anticipating the person they are waiting for, standing at...Chapter 432 Carefree Scholar 2

The person in front of them began cheering and jumping with joy. Some were screaming, others leaping about, appearing somewhat mad.

This... What exactly is going on

"Whoever it was, play another one!!"

"Play another one!!"

When someone shouted for another performance, everyone began shouting for more. The people in the private rooms upstairs also came out to see who this person was.

The sound of the zither had come too suddenly; no one knew where it had originated from and wanted to confirm whose hands it was in. At the same time, they were still basking in the lingering melody and hoped for more music.

"Who is playing Come out!"

"That's right, who exactly is it Show yourself!"

"Yeah, yeah..."

Seeing that no one came forward when the music stopped, everyone began shouting again for someone to come forward. However, at this moment, Free and Easy was looking over sheet music and didn't have time to pay attention to others' shouts. Dujuan was in awe as she watched him; it took her a while to realize what was going on since she was the only one present when he played. She was most shocked.

"I know who it is! Look, no one from that private room came out!"

There were also some quick-witted individuals in attendance who noticed that while Free and Easy's door was open, nobody had come out when everyone else did. This was quite peculiar under the circumstances, making them suspect.

" Over there"

Pudan looked over to see the door indeed open but no one coming out. She went over to take a look and saw Dujuan staring at a young man in daze; he was sitting before the zither, looking at sheet music which matched the song just played.

No need for words. It must be this youth then. He looks only around twenty and yet possesses such skill!

"May I ask if you are the one who performed earlier" Pudan immediately asked as she entered, fearing that someone else might have been first otherwise.

Upon her entering, others quickly followed suit. Her entrance indicated the answer was already there; the zither player was inside.

Almost everyone pushed their way toward this room. Soon enough, it filled to capacity and so did the hallway and stairwell below with people trying to come up.

This all happened within seconds of Pudan's inquiry. When Free and Easy noticed, he found himself surrounded by a crowd. Fortunately, he spotted Pudan and Qi Dongqiang; otherwise, his efforts would have been in vain. Still, the situation was troublesome. Why were these people acting so crazily

"What are you all doing" Free and Easy asked somewhat confusedly, noticing that most of them were quite attractive ladies. If Lady Zhao had been here, she'd surely be drooling.

"Did your Excellency not hear me earlier I want to ask if you played the piece just now," Pudan asked, pointing at the sheet music in Free and Easy's hand.

"Yes. This sheet music is quite interesting; what's wrong" he asked innocently. It was only a tune after all, which he had barely tried out himself. Was it really necessary to go this far

Free and Easy didn't know that if he expressed his thoughts aloud, these people would be even more crazed. Just trying out the piece What about playing with intent then

In fact, it wasn't surprising Free and Easy was unaware; his level already surpassed most people's comprehension. Things he found ordinary were extraordinary to others, plus this piece had a certain allure of its own which could bewitch anyone. This is why the effect was so terrifying.

"There's nothing wrong with that, naturally. I just want to ask your Excellency how you managed to play such a beautiful tune as 'Floral Moonlit Night.' I've been studying it but have many doubts," Pudan asked respectfully, admiration evident in her eyes.

Free and Easy frowned; he didn't wish for this troublesome situation. Originally, he just wanted to meet with Pudan by way of Qi Dongqiang. Now, however, the first thing to do was send these people away before speaking with Pudan. As for whether Qi Dongqiang would stay or not...

Qi Dongqiang must have thought that his part in this day's performance was over and didn't want to remain; Free and Easy couldn't just ask him to stick around, which might appear odd.

If he were found out about his intentions, perhaps Qi Dongqiang wouldn't reveal anything or continue as planned. It depended on how much the matter weighed in his mind. Previously, Free and Easy hadn't wanted any complications but now it seemed things had become troublesome anyway.

He might have been better off just using some means to abduct Qi Dongqiang then force him to talk; at least that would be about as trouble-prone.

The reason was that Qi Dongqiang's strength wasn't negligible. Though not top-notch, he also couldn't be easily dealt with by Free and Easy who was merely a king-level cultivator. Capturing him would prove troublesome too; hence why it had been dismissed earlier.

The Most Important Xianyao is a pacifist, and for anything that can be resolved peacefully, he always chooses peaceful means. Ah, being too good-natured leads to such troubles!

"Hua Yue Ye, this is indeed a great name. The method of playing this melody isn't complicated; teaching you won't be an issue. However, there's just too many people here; could you please ask some of them to leave" Xianyao said. With so many people in the room, it made him feel quite uncomfortable.

"Ah, that is perfectly fine. Sisters, can you kindly step back a bit" Peony immediately replied and called out to those present. Only some needed to leave rather than everyone, which wouldn’t offend anyone.

Meanwhile, the people who could stay were all talented women; others here just wanted to listen to music without any significant contribution, so they quickly left as well. Those whose status wasn't high enough or weren't in this field also left.

The guests were basically all gone, and those entering now didn’t belong to the category of scholars but only came for entertainment. Under the soft voices of these young women, they too left.

What kind of ability did any guest have to resist a woman's delicate coquettish voice A little flirting solved everything!

When Xianyao noticed this, he suddenly had a new idea: Why didn't I think about it before To find out something about Qi Dongqiang, I don’t necessarily need to do it myself; I can get women to help me!

At this point, someone seemed to feel that Cuckoo was redundant because her status here was very low. In contrast, most of the others standing here were top-tier people with a noticeable difference in social standing.

Cuckoo also noticed this issue and prepared to leave… "Cuckoo, stay here; I'm paying you for your company. This money is not easy to earn," Xianyao casually said.

"…" Cuckoo felt touched in her heart. She knew that although Xianyao was talking about himself, he was actually helping her out. She never expected she could shine so brightly this time; it really was worth the effort.

“If you want to learn how to play the guzheng, I can teach you all, but you need to pay a little tuition.” Xianyao looked at the talented women in the house, each one extraordinarily beautiful and of top-notch quality.

The majority of these women were those who performed art without offering themselves, so they didn't have that kind of worldly smell. Instead, they seemed very pure and charming.

If these talented women were out there, countless people would pursue them and try their best to approach them; however, now that Xianyao had this opportunity, he wanted to charge them tuition without any intention of getting closer to them at all.

This made the proud hearts of these women feel a bit frustrated. Was he disdainful of their status

"Of course, sir; how much do you need" Although they thought this way in their hearts, they still readily agreed because mastering this melody could greatly improve their guzheng skills, and for those who love the art of playing music, it was natural to pay a certain price.

“Not much, just one tael per person,” Xianyao casually replied. This amount was the same as what they charged for company.

"Ah, so little... Hehe..."

When everyone thought about paying tuition, they expected to be overcharged, but Xianyao only asked for a tael. For them at this level of society, one tael was nothing more than a drizzle.

If you find it too little, feel free to give more; I don't mind! Alright, I’ll start teaching….” As Xianyao began his instruction, the women were initially puzzled about how he planned to teach them since they didn’t know what questions to ask. How could he teach without knowing their problems

Soon enough, they understood that Xianyao didn't need to know their issues; instead, he explained in detail and demonstrated the entire song’s playing method.

This teaching method was something none of them had ever encountered before. They never imagined it could be done this way. Suddenly, they realized that this melody wasn’t as difficult as they thought!

But in the future when they wanted to teach others, they found themselves unable to convey what Xianyao did. Their students still couldn't grasp what was being taught until they repeatedly demonstrated.

Only then did they realize how skilled Xianyao was not only with his guzheng skills but also in teaching!

After Xianyao finished the lessons, it was almost dark. The women were ready to disperse and immediately try their newly learned melody tonight. Yihong Chamber would undoubtedly be the focus of attention as everyone would be drawn here because of these ladies' music.

The person who caused this stir left someone behind before she could leave:

"That is, Peony, you stay; I have something to ask for your help!"

“Ah What does the sir want me to do” Peony asked while looking at Xianyao. Thinking about what he might need from her made her blush, although she felt somewhat embarrassed, but it wasn't a big deal.

At that moment, all the other talented women in the brothel thought similarly: They believed Xianyao wanted Peony to stay overnight. In their eyes was a hint of envy. Even though they might not necessarily do such things themselves, they envied being singled out because it at least indicated that Xianyao valued them.

Presently, Xianyao was the great talent in their hearts whom they greatly admired!
