Chapter 2201
Zhu Yanyi sniffed disdainfully. She looked like a playboy. Definitely not a good man.
Mo Changhen looked at her and said, "Junior Sister Yanyi, I am Mo Changhen."
"Hello, Senior Brother Mo. Do you want to compete with me too?" Zhu Yanyi rested her chin on her hand. She sighed softly inside. Yi Yunfei’s setup was powerful. Two targets already. She wondered if the third would be Che Wuzhe.
Mo Changhen frowned slightly at her distracted look. "Senior Brother Yanyi, I am a sound cultivator. Just now, Junior Sister Feng asked you to watch a dance. Now, I want you to listen to a song."
Zhu Yanyi stared at her for a while. "Senior Brother Mo, do you think that because I removed the gold needle, I will surely be confused by your music?"
"Junior Sister, please don’t say that. Even if you hadn’t removed the needle, I would still tell you this. After all, this is a competition. It is wrong to reveal your trump cards casually."
Mo Changhen certainly wouldn’t admit that she went on stage because she saw her remove the gold needle. Without that warning, she believed she couldn’t escape her sound battle.
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head. "Senior Brother Mo, I don’t understand music. If you play, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed."
Gu Jun, sitting below, looked strange. She didn’t forget how Zhu Yanyi had crushed other schools’ sound cultivators with music during the Five Schools League. Only their seventeen students and the elders knew this. Mo Changhen didn’t. Gu Jun wouldn’t tell her.
Mo Changhen smiled, looking unconcerned. "Junior Sister Yanyi, don’t worry. You don’t need to understand my music. Just listen. Are you ready?"
"Since I don’t understand music, I don’t need to prepare. Play." Zhu Yanyi waved her hand, acting like a cooperative, good listener.
Gu Jun’s expression grew stranger. She was teasing her. Everyone else didn’t know, but she did. Zhu Yanyi was a talented girl skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Saying she didn’t understand music was obviously a joke.
But in this situation, teasing others was better than being teased.
Zhu Yanyi’s serious look attracted Xi Muzheng’s attention again. Xi Muzheng sighed. "Fine, I admit it. This girl has become a devil in her heart. Watch. Mo Changhen will truly regret this."
Mu Rongyin glanced at Xi Muzheng and said slowly, "Since this competition is to teach them a lesson, letting him regret it is appropriate."
Mo Changhen began to play. His tune seemed cheerful. The happy music made everyone see their most desired life.
Those wanting wealth saw money everywhere. Those wanting power saw people bowing to them. Those wanting beauty saw stunning women around them.
Everyone seemed to enter a fantasy world. Here, they had everything they wanted.
Zhu Yanyi looked around. She picked up a silver spoon and tapped a nearby cup. Clang. All illusions vanished.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. "I thought there was lots of delicious food. Why did it disappear?"
Mo Changhen couldn’t continue playing. Zhu Yanyi’s tapping, whether intentional or not, broke her rhythm. Zhu Yanyi lay bored on the small table. "Oh no. I saw so many good foods. Brown sugar osmanthus cake, pine flower dumplings, thousand-layer cake. Why did they all vanish?"
Mo Changhen didn’t know what to say. she couldn’t explain that it was all an illusion, and she had shattered it.
Zhu Yanyi’s helpless expression left Mo Changhen speechless. She could only stand up and say, "I lost."
Watching Mo Changhen leave, Zhu Yanyi blinked her innocent eyes. She looked at everyone. "Did I do something wrong?"
"No, you did nothing," Mi Xiao said with a grin. Then she turned and laughed with everyone. Zhu Yanyi was really funny when she acted.
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. She looked at the others below. "I can be challenged one more time today. Who is the third person? Come up quickly."
"I will."
This time, it wasn’t Che Wuzhe. It was a very burly man.
Actually, a young man who looked burly. Zhu Yanyi looked at her for a while. "May I ask your name?"
"I am Dan Sheng," the burly man answered.
"Dan Sheng? Were you born from an egg?" Zhu Yanyi asked immediately. Then she realized it was rude. "Sorry. Your name made me think that wrongly."
"You are right. I was born from an egg. Because I am a demon cultivator," Dan Sheng answered openly.
Zhu Yanyi nodded in understanding. "I see. Then, Senior Brother Dan Sheng, what do you want to compete in?"
"I am a demon cultivator, so naturally, demon arts," Dan Sheng said seriously. No one questioned him.
Zhu Yanyi paused, then looked at her. She acted like she needed confirmation. "Are you sure you want to compete in demon arts?"
"Yes," Dan Sheng nodded seriously.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. "I can only compete in magic spells with you. Because I am human. You demon cultivators have demon art inheritance. I don’t have demon art inheritance, but I learned magic spells."
"Human magic spells are equivalent to your demon arts," Zhu Yanyi smiled, explaining seriously.
Dan Sheng tilted his head, thought, and nodded. "You are right. You are not a demon, so you have no demon arts. You are human, learning magic spells. Fine. I will use my demon arts against your magic spells."
Zhu Yanyi shook her head. "Fighting is uncivilized. Magic and demon arts don’t need fighting to create a wonderful scene. Senior Brother Dan Sheng, do you want to try?"
"How?" Dan Sheng asked.
Zhu Yanyi turned to the assistants. "Please bring ten flower pots filled with soil. Also bring some seeds for planting. Flowers or medicinal herbs are fine."
Such items were common in the Sage Academy. As soon as Zhu Yanyi finished speaking, someone hurried to prepare them.
