CHAPTER 638: CHAPTER 637 MARQUIS OF WIND ANCIENT ZITHER

Provocation!

Absolutely a provocation!

Li Ge sneered at Lin Hao, not believing that Lin Hao could sing at all.

To say his musical talent was lacking was an understatement.

His only wish was to make Lin Hao lose face in front of everyone, especially in front of Annie! A Wandering Practitioner like him, what qualifications did he have to vie for a woman against him?

Suddenly, all eyes were on Lin Hao, even Shen Fei glanced at him.

Honestly, things like singing and dancing were not the strengths of people from the Upper Realm Plane.

They were all Cultivators, busy every day improving their Cultivation, striving to Ascend to God as soon as possible; who would have time to sing?

In the entire Upper Realm Plane, those who enjoyed these activities were usually the ones not interested in progress. Of course, these unambitious ones couldn’t sing well either.

"Just for fun, don’t take it so seriously, just casually, just for fun," Shen Fei glanced at Li Ge and quickly smoothed things over for Lin Hao.

Honestly, Shen Fei was decent, lacking that oppressive demeanor of a domineering young master.

For Lin Hao, it didn’t matter much, he set down the wine in his hand.

"How about I sing with you?" Annie bit her lip, gently pulling Lin Hao.

Lin Hao was her invited friend. Although it was just a casual gathering, Li Ge was obviously looking for trouble.

If Lin Hao sang poorly, he would definitely be mocked by Li Ge, and though it wouldn’t do much harm, it was still not pleasant.

If they sang a duet, if Lin Hao didn’t sing well, she could still help out.

"What, is help needed for just a small entertaining banquet? That won’t do, it’s against the rules," Li Ge said coldly, immediately expressing his displeasure.

"Why not!" Annie was somewhat annoyed, she had always sensed a strong sense of combativeness here, Li Ge was clearly bullying.

"Hey, it’s nothing, just singing, no big deal."

Lin Hao smiled slightly, gently patting Annie’s hand.

Feeling his strong hand on hers, Annie’s cheeks reddened inexplicably, she wanted to say something but then saw Lin Hao’s confident face and closed her mouth.

"Do you have any musical instruments? Lend me one," Lin Hao looked at Shen Fei.

That guy, surely carrying many treasures; although musical instruments were not common among Cultivators, that didn’t mean Shen Fei didn’t have one.

"Heh, you know how to play instruments?" Li Ge scoffed repeatedly, thinking Lin Hao was just posturing, pretending to save face.

"Somewhat knowledgeable, somewhat," Lin Hao replied with a shy smile, not masking his modesty.

Music, in the luxurious and extravagant Earth, was very well-developed; whereas people in other mighty planes were busy cultivating, who would delve into music?

Lin Hao knew plenty of popular Earth music, and also knew a bit about musical instruments.

With Lin Hao’s experiences spanning two lives across the Upper Realm Plane, Divine World, and Eternal Life Realm, Earth’s music could overshadow all others.

After all, Earthlings did not cultivate for thousands of years, they just enjoyed life.

Everyone was watching Lin Hao, they hadn’t expected him to also request an instrument.

It seemed Shen Fei was somewhat troubled, he furrowed his brows, hesitated as if unsure about something.

"Don’t have an instrument? You look as though you can’t produce one. Well then, I’m a hospitable person; since you want an instrument, I’ll lend you my string instrument, how about that?"

Saying this, Shen Fei pushed his instrument forward.

"Who says I don’t have an instrument?!"

Seemingly provoked by Li Ge’s scornful gaze, Shen Fei, having traversed the Martial World for many years and a collector of antiques, how could he not possess several musical instruments?

He was just hesitating whether or not to bring out his own instruments!

In Shen Fei’s collection were ancient relics, some over ten thousand years old, even older!

"Come! I happen to have an instrument that I found during my last travels in Beidahuang, the antique I’m going to bring out today for my brother to play, so everyone can take a look!"

Sunset Three Laughs lifted the corner of his mouth slightly, a touch of pride appearing.

Antique?

The others were startled, then followed.

"Antique? I’d like to see what kind of antique instrument it is." Li Ge sneered repeatedly, his eyes looking at Sunset Three Laughs with disdain.

That place, Beidahuang, was known to their traveling merchants. Although there were ancient relics and deadly territories, more often than not, it had ancient weapons, but an ancient music instrument?

Li Ge felt that Sunset Three Laughs was feigning sophistication, thinking they couldn’t recognize the real value.

However, next, Sunset Three Laughs really took out a huge ancient zither from one of his storage rings.

Ancient Zither!!

Even Lin Hao was stunned.

He had never imagined that Sunset Three Laughs would have an ancient zither!

It’s known that only people on Earth could use this ancient formation, which was rare across All Worlds.

Moreover, this ancient zither had an antique charm, it clearly bore the marks of many years but was remarkably well-preserved. At a glance, one could see it bore an air of sophistication.

"I don’t even know what this zither is called, nor what use it has. But it definitely is a treasure," said Sunset Three Laughs, carefully placing the ancient zither in front of Lin Hao and wearing a triumphant expression.

He was not afraid of it being coveted, as their strength was evident here; no one could steal it right from under the noses of Sunset Three Laughs, Lin Hao, and him.

"What is this instrument, can it produce melodies?" Li Ge glanced at the ancient zither. Although he had only a slight understanding of music, he could tell that this zither was no ordinary item.

But he had to save face, so he maintained a tough front.

However, no one noticed that when the ancient zither was placed in front of Lin Hao, a flicker of unusual color passed through his eyes.

True Qi!

The ultimate truth of Dao!

Lin Hao actually felt the flow of True Qi and the essence of the ultimate Dao from this ancient zither!

What’s going on here?

Could it be that this ancient zither really has some incredible origin?

He looked closely and gently strummed the strings.

The zither produced a pleasing sound, capable of resonating deep within one’s heart.

"Marquis of Wind?!"

Suddenly, Lin Hao spotted several ancient characters in the lower right corner of the zither!

They were ancient Huaxia characters from Earth!

The characters for ’Marquis of Wind’ seemed to come from the distant past!

Looking closely, there were two more characters after ’Marquis of Wind’: Fei Lian!

This was the Wind God!

The zither of the Wind God?

Lin Hao was greatly startled, could this really be the legendary figure from Huaxia mythology?

In his two lives, he had experienced and known much; in the ancient times, Earth truly had a flourishing era of cultivation which was soon replaced by technological civilization.

Those ancient cultivators of Earth had seemingly vanished into thin air, barely leaving any trace in All Heavens and All Worlds.

The only exception was the Atlantis clan, suppressed in the Death Sea by the Supreme Immortal Emperor, Mysterious Fire Monarch of the Eternal Life Realm.

As for the others, and even the legendary gods of Huaxia, none were seen.

But today, here, Lin Hao saw the legendary zither of Marquis of Wind and Fei Lian!

This item, it must be genuine!

Lin Hao was internally ecstatic, unable to stop himself from giving Sunset Three Laughs another look.
