Chapter 99 - 99: The Qin Competition Begins, Feng Qingling is Defeated
"Young Master, are we really going in?"
Qin Xuan, who was beside Jun Xiaoyao, scanned the luxurious and magnificent Xianqiong Pavilion, her face filled with unease.
She had never entered such a high-class establishment before.
"If we don't go in, how can we participate in the qin competition?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
He casually took out a top-grade Divine Origin stone and tossed it to a servant of Xianqiong Pavilion nearby.
The servant was stunned and didn't dare to stop Jun Xiaoyao from entering.
Qin Xuan nodded slightly. freewebnøvel.coɱ
She also regarded Jun Xiaoyao as an admirer of Tianqin Fairy.
As for the qin competition?
Qin Xuan hadn't even thought about it.
Soon, Jun Xiaoyao and Qin Xuan ascended to the top floor of Xianqiong Pavilion.
When Jun Xiaoyao appeared, the gazes of the entire audience couldn't help but converge on him.
That aura was too special; it was hard not to notice.
"Huh, who is that person? To have such an astonishing presence?"
"Why do I feel like he's an immortal who has descended to the mortal world?"
Many talents from major forces showed a strange light in their eyes.
The Third Prince and the Young Master of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce also revealed looks of surprise.
The Third Prince, in particular, while surprised, also had a faint look of vigilance in the depths of his eyes.
In his view, most men who came to participate in the qin competition were there to admire Tianqin Fairy's celestial beauty.
And the Third Prince had long regarded Tianqin Fairy as his exclusive possession.
This mysterious young master enveloped in immortal light gave the Third Prince a faint sense of threat.
Because in front of this white-robed young master, even he, a prince, faintly felt a sense of inferiority.
As if a humble mortal was facing an immortal.
This feeling made the Third Prince extremely displeased.
What made him even more displeased was that Tianqin Fairy's gaze was actually drawn to this white-robed young master.
"What an astonishing aura..."
Even with Tianqin Fairy's ice-cold personality, she was inwardly surprised at this moment.
In front of this white-robed young master, she faintly felt a sense of inadequacy.
Jun Xiaoyao paid no attention to the gazes of the audience and casually found a seat.
Qin Xuan, on the other hand, being stared at by so many people, felt somewhat flustered and uneasy.
"Huh... him..."
On the other side, Feng Qingling also noticed Jun Xiaoyao.
Crimson light condensed in her eyes as she tried to see through the immortal brilliance and mist veiling Jun Xiaoyao's face.
"Hmm?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyebrows twitched slightly, and the True Spirit in his Divine Palace released soul power.
Instantly, Feng Qingling frowned, feeling a stabbing pain in her mind.
"This person has some skill," Feng Qingling蹙眉 (frowned), giving up her attempt to pry.
After all, her main purpose in coming this time was to meet this Tianqin Fairy, who was reputed to be number one in qin skills.
Jun Xiaoyao retracted his gaze and murmured, "Someone from Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain. It seems this lineage has also started to make its move."
Previously, it was always the Ancestral Dragon Nest causing trouble.
Now, a successor from Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain had also appeared.
And these two lineages happened to have a good relationship and were both targeting the Jun family.
Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao naturally had no good feelings towards this Feng Qingling.
"Everyone, it's about time. Let the qin competition begin now," an old woman from the Immortal Dance Qin Sect, standing beside the high platform, said.
She was also Tianqin Fairy's Dao Protector.
"Haha, in that case, I shall present my humble skills first. I implore Tianqin Fairy to not hesitate in offering guidance," a young man walked out, smiling, and took out his guqin.
"Please."
Tianqin Fairy uttered only one word, her voice clear and cold.
The young man played the qin, the music flowing like water.
Tianqin Fairy's cold and beautiful eyes remained calm and undisturbed.
Only after listening to the young man's piece did Tianqin Fairy use her slender, jade-like fingers to pluck the qin strings.
Instantly, the qin music sounded like the music of the heavens.
Sacred rosy clouds swirled around, mist arose, and divine radiance flickered in the void, making Tianqin Fairy seem even more like a qin fairy.
Almost everyone present was intoxicated by the music. The admiration in the hearts of the Third Prince, the Young Master of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and others grew even stronger.
When Tianqin Fairy's piece ended, the lingering notes reverberated, unceasing.
"This is truly celestial music! Wonderful, wonderful!"
"After listening to Tianqin Fairy's music, I feel as if I'm about to transcend." Many talents sighed.
"It's truly beautiful," Qin Xuan was also captivated.
Even someone like her, who didn't understand the Way of the Qin, was somewhat entranced.
"It's alright, I guess," Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.
He didn't specialize in the Way of the Qin, nor had he practiced it much.
But with Jun Xiaoyao's monstrous talent, coupled with some of the famous guqin pieces he knew from his previous life.
With the fusion of the two, Jun Xiaoyao's qin skills had unknowingly reached their peak.
And Tianqin Fairy's music, to his ears, could only be considered pretty good, falling within the realm of enjoyable.
The young man who had challenged Tianqin Fairy cupped his hands towards her and said, "As expected of Tianqin Fairy, number one in the Way of the Qin among the younger generation of the Immortal Domain. I willingly admit defeat."
"You let me win," Tianqin Fairy's jade-like face was indifferent; she showed no joy from the victory.
Next, several more prodigies came forward to challenge, and all were defeated.
Seeing this scene, the Third Prince, the Young Master of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and others had smiles on their faces.
No one could defeat Tianqin Fairy in qin skills, so no one could arouse Tianqin Fairy's interest.
At this moment, a female voice with a hint of faint arrogance sounded.
"Let Qingling meet you, the number one in the Way of the Qin among the younger generation of the Immortal Domain."
Feng Qingling stood up. Her fiery red long dress accentuated her tall and graceful figure.
Although her face was veiled in divine radiance, a fleeting glimpse was breathtaking.
She took out a fiery red guqin, its strings seeming to be wreathed in flames.
It was an extremely powerful Marquis-grade weapon. (TN: 王侯兵器 (wáng hóu bīngqì) - weapon of a king or marquis rank, indicating a high-grade weapon.)
"I dare not claim to be number one in the Way of the Qin. Since Miss Feng wishes to challenge, then please," Tianqin Fairy's tone was indifferent, but it also contained a hint of sharp contention.
The two faced each other and, surprisingly, began to play the qin at the same time.
"Listen to my piece, Feng Qiu Huang (Phoenix Seeking Mate)!" Feng Qingling's jade-like hands caressed the qin strings, and countless crimson runes were actually imprinted in the void. (TN: "凤求凰" (Fèng Qiú Huáng) is a famous classical Chinese guqin piece.)
Then, the cries of a phoenix and a luan bird sounded.
A phoenix and a luan bird, two lifelike divine birds, circled around Feng Qingling.
This phenomenon astonished many people.
Tianqin Fairy also began to play her famous piece, Nishang Yuyi Qu (Song of Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Dress). (TN: "霓裳羽衣曲" (Níshang Yǔyī Qū) is a famous Tang Dynasty musical piece.)
Instantly, the crowd seemed to see an immortal palace descending, immortal maidens dancing, heavenly flowers falling in disarray, and golden lotuses emerging from the earth.
Everyone seemed to be immersed in it, losing track of time.
The two qin pieces intertwined and collided.
Finally, with a twang.
One of Feng Qingling's qin strings broke.
Her face turned faintly green, her expression changing.
Finally, she stopped playing the qin.
"As expected of the number one in the Way of the Qin among the younger generation of the Immortal Domain. If even I cannot defeat you, then no one should be able to defeat you," Feng Qingling shook her head slightly.
She came from Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain and possessed an inherent pride and nobility.
But now, she had to admit defeat.
Of course, this was only a defeat in the Way of the Qin. If they were to truly compare strength, Tianqin Fairy was definitely no match for her.
Moreover, Feng Qingling was also very proud.
She believed that if she couldn't defeat Tianqin Fairy, then no one in the younger generation of the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain could defeat Tianqin Fairy in the Way of the Qin.
