Chapter 79 - 79: Celestial Melody



Immediately, Zhuo Buqun slammed the piano keys and stood up, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Chu Qing, do you know what respect is?” Zhuo Buqun questioned Chu Qing in front of everyone.

Chu Qing was engaged in a quiet conversation with Tang Ziyan when he was suddenly reprimanded by someone. Despite the unexpected scolding, he remained composed. He turned around calmly and explained with a serious tone, “Whether or not you play the piano is your concern. Whether or not I choose to listen is mine. It appears that your criticism stems from a narrow-minded perspective.”

It was impossible for Chu Qing to watch Zhuo Buqun show off. At most, he would turn a blind eye to it. However, Zhuo Buqun seemed to be dissatisfied with Chu Qing’s actions. He tried his best to show off and did not allow Chu Qing to turn a blind eye.

“Chu Qing, you… It’s fine if you don’t regard me seriously. But why are you disrespecting Lin Wan’er?” Zhuo Buqun retorted, displaying his sharp tongue and logical reasoning.

Chu Qing was rendered speechless. Was such a trivial matter really worth mentioning? Moreover, Zhuo Buqun, with his keen observation, could see that Chu Qing did not appreciate the goodwill behind Lin Xiaowan’s words.

From where Chu Qing was sitting, even if he did not deliberately raise his head, it was enough for him to see Lin Xiaowan’s dance. At this point, Chu Qing could not be bothered to waste his breath. Zhuo Buqun was clearly looking for trouble with Chu Qing. If he wanted to accuse someone, he had to find a reason.

Chu Qing raised his glass and gestured to Lin Xiaowan. He did not say much. He thought that Lin Xiaowan should understand him and finished the wine in his glass. Lin Xiaowan smiled faintly and was not affected by Zhuo Buqun’s sowing discord at all.

When Zhuo Buqun saw Chu Qing and Lin Xiaowan flirting with each other in front of him and treating him like air, he immediately said hurtful words, “Country bumpkin, have you ever touched the piano in your life? It’s not your fault if you have never touched the piano. However, when others are playing, you’re in the wrong to speak.”

Despite his mocking tone, Zhuo Buqun still maintained a sanctimonious demeanor, which infuriated Chu Qing the most. He found it utterly intolerable to witness someone being hypocritical and acting holier-than-thou while engaging in questionable behavior.

“Forgive me for being straightforward, cough cough.” As soon as Chu Qing spoke, he realized that he seemed to have been led astray by Zhuo Buqun. Wouldn’t he get goosebumps when he said those pretentious words? He immediately coughed lightly to cover it up.

Then, he continued. “In my opinion, your playing is not that good. It’s not as good as my whistle. I have never touched the piano, but if I did and played like you, I might as well chop off my hand. As for you, Zhuo Buqun, it’s okay to act cool, but it’s your fault to try too hard.”

Chu Qing’s words undoubtedly stripped away any semblance of dignity from Zhuo Buqun. As soon as Zhuo Buqun heard them, his face turned pale. In a fit of anger, he unbuttoned the two buttons on his tuxedo collar and pointed fiercely at Chu Qing. He declared, “Chu Qing, I challenge you to a duel today! You claim that your whistle is superior to mine, right? Well, let’s see what kind of tune you can produce. If your whistle isn’t better than mine, you must kneel down and apologize to me. Do you have the courage to accept?”

“What if you lose?” In the face of Zhuo Buqun’s ruthless words, Chu Qing asked without changing his expression.

On the contrary, the others were a little nervous because of this scene. No one had expected that things would develop to this stage. They were all classmates and Zhuo Buqun had invited them. However, they had witnessed Zhuo Buqun’s targeting of Chu Qing. Now that the two of them had fallen out, it was difficult for them to do anything.

“I won’t lose.” Zhuo Buqun responded to Chu Qing’s words. In his opinion, he would definitely win. Chu Qing was clearly bragging.

Unfortunately, Zhuo Buqun was unaware that while Chu Qing might not excel in various areas, he possessed a significant advantage—he never boasted about his abilities.

“What if you do?” Chu Qing would not accept an unfair bet. He was not stupid.

“Then what do you want?” Zhuo Buqun was confident of victory.

“You want me to kneel and apologize? If you lose, why don’t you leave your hands behind?” Chu Qing’s calm words were filled with coldness.

When Zhuo Buqun heard this, he was shocked for a moment. However, soon, he was overwhelmed by excitement. When he thought that Chu Qing would kneel before him like a dog, he could not help but feel excited.

“Whooo…” Chu Qing did not care what Zhuo Buqun thought. He whistled.

A simple and ordinary melody emanated from Chu Qing’s lips, capturing everyone’s attention instantly. The enchanting tune had a mesmerizing effect, causing people to involuntarily be drawn into its spell. Initially, Zhuo Buqun wore a sneer on his face, but gradually, he struggled to resist its allure. Eventually, even he succumbed to its captivating power.

Unbeknownst to everyone, as Chu Qing’s tone shifted, a shimmering golden light emanated from between his lips and teeth. It was a manifestation of the surging spiritual energy within him. Chu Qing was whistling with the power of spiritual energy, and the musical piece he played held a profound background. It was an authentic celestial melody, infused with heavenly essence.

In his previous life, during Chu Qing’s ascension to immortality, it was considered a remarkable phenomenon of the heavens and the earth. At that moment, Chu Qing had successfully absorbed and imprinted about 10% of the Tao runes into his consciousness. His intention was to delve into their profound meaning upon his arrival in the cultivation world.

Who would have thought that… what he had displayed now was less than one or two percent of the celestial melody. But it was enough..
