Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Piano Girl (Triple Update, Please Add to Favorites)

With every step Ling Wu took, the surrounding area within a ten-foot radius would turn to ice.

Under Ling Wu’s lead, the three stepped on the ice, strolling confidently, and quickly arrived at Lake Heart Island.

"Miss Ling’s talents are truly admirable!"

Yu Huai, who also possessed an Ice Spirit Body, bowed slightly to Ling Wu.

His way of crossing the lake was the same as others, using Spiritual Power to form landing spots on the lake’s surface, then crossing the distance with a couple of leaps and bounds.

But it never occurred to him, being an Ice Spirit Body, he could have turned water into ice!

"Senior Yu, you flatter me."

Ling Wu’s face flushed slightly.

It was only after being reminded by Ling Chen that she thought of it.

"Needing help even to cross a lake, what a waste!"

Gu Lin scoffed.

However, he truly admired Ling Wu from the bottom of his heart.

Within the Spirit Sea Realm, this method of crossing the lake was undoubtedly the most effortless, and she managed to bring three people across in one go.

He had to use Divine Soul Telekinesis to achieve the same.

Compared to Ling Wu, he was inferior.

"Be still and listen to the tune," said Ling Chen lightly, sitting down by the shore, immersing himself in the music of the zither.

Now that he was closer, Ling Chen could sense the Divine Soul Telekinesis within the music even more clearly.

"So it’s her involuntary release of Divine Soul Telekinesis!"

Ling Chen thought to himself.

He had originally thought that Qin Xianzi had done it on purpose, but now it seemed not so.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the piece ended.

"Thank you, everyone, for listening. This piece was composed as a birthday celebration for Miss Wan Er. Next, this servant shall play another tune, please savor it."

Inside the pavilion, Qin Xianzi looked up, her face covered with a white veil, and her pleasant voice resonated.

Although her true face was unclear, everyone could feel that hidden beneath the white veil must be a face that could topple cities and states.

"Thank you, Sister Qin Ji!"

Wan Er hurriedly bowed in gratitude.

Qin Ji did not respond, instead, she began playing the zither immediately.

Her jade-like hands plucked the strings, sketching enchanting notes that echoed over Lake Heart Island.

This piece was completely different in style from the previous one.

The last was cheerful, while this one seemed like the strong sound of iron bones, as if meeting on the battlefield.

"Something’s wrong!"

Despite the somewhat heroic and inspiring music, there was always a jarring note within the melody.

Ling Chen, who was not adept at playing the zither, couldn’t quite describe the feeling, but it felt very strange.

"Zeng!"

Just then, Qin Xianzi’s hands suddenly stopped.

Everyone immediately woke from their reverie and turned their angry gazes toward Ling Chen.

Ling Chen’s voice had been faint, but in the ears of the audience, it was all too clear.

"Haha, to dare to interrupt Qin Xianzi’s performance, what a death wish!"

Gu Lin laughed.

However, Qin Xianzi did not get angry; instead, she moved her thoughts, packed up the Jade Zither, stood up, and looked toward Ling Chen, saying, "Young noble, please, come into the pavilion for a talk!"

"What?"

Everyone was stunned.

The person who interrupted Qin Ji’s performance was actually summoned by Qin Ji?

What was the reasoning behind this?

"Me?"

Ling Chen was also dumbfounded.

He had not expected his own murmur to have such an effect.

"Yes, you!"

Qin Xianzi confirmed.

With the audience looking on in astonishment, Ling Chen entered the pavilion.

Qin Xianzi waved her hand, and a sound barrier immediately surfaced, isolating the two of them inside.

The outsiders could not hear the conversation within.

"May I ask for the noble young gentleman’s honorable name?"

Qin Xianzi smiled.

"Ling Chen."

Ling Chen responded, "May I inquire as to how the Immortal should be addressed?"

"Young Master Ling can simply call me Qin Ji."

Piano Girl laughed and said, "Young Master Ling, your surname is quite uncommon. May I ask if you hail from the Guangling Ling Family?"

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed, exclaiming, "You know of the Ling Family from Guangling City?"

Guangling City isn’t even worth mentioning in Zhenwu Prefecture.

Not to mention the small Ling Family!

"It seems so."

Piano Girl nodded and said, "Young Master Ling, do you not find the piece I played agreeable to the ear?"

Ling Chen shook his head and replied, "It’s not that it was unpleasant to listen to, but it felt somewhat awkward. I don’t play the zither, so it’s difficult to explain."

"Hmm."

Piano Girl nodded and suggested, "In that case, allow me to play a piece just for you, Young Master Ling."

With that said, Piano Girl once again took out her Jade Zither and began to play.

Everyone watched jealously as Piano Girl played exclusively for Ling Chen.

But, none of them had the courage to truly intrude.

After all, it was said that Piano Girl had the backing of people from the Eight Great Families!

She played for a full quarter of an hour before asking, "Young Master Ling, what do you think this time?"

"It was like listening to the music of the immortals!"

Ling Chen said with a smile.

"You flatter me too much, Young Master."

Piano Girl smiled gently.

Piano Girl once again put away her Jade Zither and turned to Ling Chen, asking, "Young Master Ling, do you know Ling Tianxing?"

"Ling Tianxing?"

Ling Chen’s pupils sharply contracted.

That was his father!

How did this Piano Girl come to know of him?

"He, too, comes from the Guangling Ling Family. It seems, then, that Ling Tianxing has no small connection with you, Young Master Ling?"

Piano Girl said with a smile.

"Yes, he is the talented individual of our family who disappeared several years ago."

Ling Chen hastily replied.

He dared not admit his relation to Ling Tianxing, fearing the woman might be from the Royal Family.

With his current strength, he was absolutely no match for the Royal Family.

"It is truly a pity."

Piano Girl said with a slight smile, "I had an encounter with him once! Initially, I had planned to visit Guangling City to see him, but it seems there’s no need now."

"Yes, he has been missing for several years."

Ling Chen nodded.

Now, it seemed that Piano Girl had only met his father once.

She didn’t appear to be a person from the Royal Family as he had imagined.

"Very well, Young Master Ling, we shall meet again if fate wills it. I shall take my leave from Zhenwu Prefecture now."

Piano Girl said with a smile.

"Yes, Sister Qin Ji, until we meet again should destiny allow."

Ling Chen nodded.

He always felt that Piano Girl was hiding something.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed with insight, and he said, "Wait a moment."

"Young Master Ling, is there anything else?"

Piano Girl asked with a smile.

Ling Chen looked at Piano Girl and ventured, "Sister Qin Ji, you are a Divine Thought Master, aren’t you?"

"Are you as well?"

Piano Girl looked at Ling Chen with surprise.

However, she hadn’t sensed any trace of Divine Soul Telekinesis emanating from him.

Ling Chen smiled but did not answer Piano Girl’s question. Instead, he said, "Sister Qin Ji, when you play the zither, your Divine Soul Telekinesis leaks quite intensely! Perhaps you should be more cautious in the future, as some might think you are attacking others."

With that, Ling Chen left the pavilion.

Watching Ling Chen’s retreating figure, a bitter smile crept onto Piano Girl’s face.

Her Divine Soul Telekinesis was such that it would unconsciously seep out, completely out of her control.

"Perhaps, you too can try incorporating it into your zither music, it might produce unexpected results!"

Ling Chen’s voice came from afar.

Upon returning to the shore, Ling Chen turned his gaze to Ling Wu and said, "Shall we make our way across?"

Having enjoyed Piano Girl’s performance, Ling Chen felt completely satisfied.

While soaked in the envious stares of the others, Ling Wu again wielded the Ice Spiritual Power to freeze water into ice, escorting both Ling Chen and Chen Mo back to the shore.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let’s return home!"

Qin Wan Er looked up at the pavilion finding it now completely empty.

Before coming to Qin Mansion, Piano Girl had already stated she would play two pieces and then take her leave.
