Chapter 165 - In Need of a Partner (1/2)
When the female disciples began demanding a second song, Yuan turned to look at Disciple Fei, who quickly nodded her head, giving him the approval to continue using her zither.
Thus, Yuan placed his fingers on the zither strings once again and began playing another song.
The atmosphere immediately changed again, and Yuan's zither music echoed throughout the area, allowing disciples far away from their location to enjoy the music as well.
”Wow! This must be Fairy Fei's zither performance! I think she has improved yet again!”
”As expected of a genius, her talents with the zither are off the charts!”
”What beautiful music… I can listen to this all day if it was an option…”
Yuan finished his second song a few minutes later, and the world turned quiet again, even feeling a little bit lonely without the music.
”A-Again! Play another song, Disciple Yuan!” One of the Inner Court disciples said with a slightly bashful look on her face.
”Yeah! Two songs are not enough! You need to play at least a dozen songs!” Another one said.
”A dozen songs…?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.
”You can play until you are satisfied,” Disciple Fei suddenly said to him.
Yuan nodded, and he began playing the zither again shortly after.
Meanwhile, the Inner Court disciples and Disciple Fei closed their eyes and fully indulged themselves in the music, feeling their minds entering an indescribable state that allowed them to think with more clarity, almost like there was some sort of special effects coming from Yuan's zither play.
An hour later, Yuan suddenly stopped playing the zither, as he'd run out of songs to play.
”Eh? Why did you stop? I was so close to entering a state of enlightenment! At least that's what it felt like!”
”Don't stop! Play some more!”
The Inner Court disciples immediately began complaining.
However, Yuan shook his head and said, ”That's all the songs I know.”
”Just repeat the songs then!” One of them quickly responded.
”Okay, calm down, Junior Sisters. Disciple Yuan has already showcased his abilities enough. Let's give him a break.” Disciple Fei said, and she continued, ”Furthermore, this gathering was supposed to end over an hour ago. Come back next month, perhaps Disciple Yuan will be here again.”
”If you say so, Senior Sister Fei…”
Although the Inner Court disciples were reluctant to leave, they had no choice.
”I'm sorry for being rude to you at the beginning, Disciple Yuan.” Disciple Feng said to him with an apologetic expression on her face before leaving the place.
”I would also like to apologize for doubting your abilities, Disciple Yuan. Thank you for today's performance.” Disciple Ying said to him with a friendly smile on her face.
