“Not enough!” Di Yi exclaimed, his face full of shock.
It was naturally not enough, because this was the divine melody of crossing the tribulation, ‘Flowers of the Other Shore Bloom’! Created by a generation’s heavenly king in the Immortal Realm, it could be said that even being able to hear it today was a stroke of immense luck. Indeed, no one in the mortal world could possibly evaluate this piece. Moreover, the fact that Luo Chen could play this piece was enough to demonstrate his strength. After all, this was a divine melody; how could it be so easily played? Even in the Immortal Realm, there were only a few who could play it.
“So a true master is right before me. I offended you just now, Master, please do not take offence.” Di Yi bowed deeply to Luo Chen. His face showed an expression of heartfelt submission. Others might only be able to listen in fascination and see the imagery, but Di Yi was, after all, a top pianist in the country. While he might not fully understand this divine melody of crossing the tribulation, he could certainly understand it a bit deeper than the average person. But precisely because of this, Di Yi felt even more terrified of Luo Chen.
Everyone looked at Di Yi’s deep bow in shock. The top piano master in the country actually bowed to Luo Chen?
“Master Di Yi, what exactly is the mystery behind this piece?” Chen Jie asked somewhat unwillingly.
“Let me put it this way. Being able to hear this piece today might be a blessing cultivated over several lifetimes. This kind of music should only exist in the heavens; it should not appear in our mortal world! As for someone who can play things from the heavens, how could I possibly presume to comment on his musical attainments?” Di Yi sighed, truly convinced. This was an incredibly high evaluation, after all, it came straight from the lips of the top piano master in the country!
Enthusiastic applause broke out. Even if these people did not understand music, they could still understand Di Yi’s words. And indeed, Luo Chen’s performance just now could be described as captivating; many people were moved to tears. Having received such praise from the number one pianist, was there any need to say anything more about Luo Chen’s talent?
“It is a pity. This was originally a guzheng piece. Using a piano somewhat ruins the melody.” Luo Chen shook his head and turned to walk down.
“What?”
“This is not even a piano piece?” Di Yi was stunned once again. The people present were also startled. After all, a guzheng is a guzheng, and a piano is a piano. Although they are both instruments, they are definitely different. Such a beautiful piece was actually just casually played by Luo Chen on a piano? This not only showed that the piece should not have reached such a level on a piano, but also indicated that the difficulty of Luo Chen’s performance was even greater. Even those who did not understand music theory could understand this point. Luo Chen had not yet mentioned that he had just casually played a small section. It was truly casual, because if he were to play it seriously, the piano simply would not be able to withstand it! How could the true divine melody of crossing the tribulation be played by such a mortal instrument? If Luo Chen were to say this, Di Yi and the others would probably be even more stunned.
Luo Chen slowly walked down, and the looks many people gave him changed. Especially some of the girls. After all, he could play the piano, he was handsome, and he was generous with his money. This was simply the definition of a tall, rich, and handsome man!
Enthusiastic applause rang out once again! Di Yi followed behind, his attitude extremely respectful. He had originally wanted to take this opportunity to mock Luo Chen, but instead, he was taught how to behave in a matter of minutes. His face was full of embarrassment at this moment, and he no longer had his previous arrogance and airs. Meanwhile, the expressions of Zhang Yang and the others had turned extremely ugly. They had originally wanted to use this opportunity to embarrass Luo Chen, but they never expected this result. Not only did they fail to embarrass him, but they actually let Luo Chen show off. Counting the dinner, they had been slapped in the face by Luo Chen twice now.
“Master Di Yi,” someone greeted Di Yi.
“With this gentleman here, how do I have the qualification to be called a master?” Di Yi waved his hand. Luo Chen walked over to Zi Yuan and sat down.
“I didn’t realise you were so multi-talented. The piece you just played was really beautiful; it almost made my heart flutter for you,” Zi Yuan said half-jokingly. “But don’t get the wrong idea, I still prefer Luo Wuji!” Zi Yuan hurriedly added. Luo Chen was just about to speak when Zi Yuan preempted him again.
“Are you going to say again that you are Luo Wuji?”
“I really am,” Luo Chen spread his hands and said somewhat helplessly.
“And I am really Lan Beier!” Zi Yuan said with a smile. The subsequent entertainment programmes seemed somewhat boring, because Luo Chen had just stunned the entire audience, and those performances instantly paled in comparison to the piano piece he had played. When the annual meeting ended, many people walked out, and Zi Yuan naturally followed them to the entrance. However, she was stopped, which instantly attracted a large crowd to watch. Because the one who stopped Zi Yuan was none other than the son of the richest man in Nanling, Chen Jie!
There were two most famous second-generation heirs in Nanling, known as the Two Young Masters of Nanling! One was the Crown Prince of Nanling, Han Feiyu! The other was the son of the richest man, Chen Jie! The Chen family was absolutely considered a wealthy and powerful household. After all, their family fortune exceeded ten billion, ranking first among the elite families in the entire Nan Province. As the only son of the Chen family, Chen Jie was naturally a prominent figure in Nanling.
“Zi Yuan, you should agree to me this time, right?” Chen Jie held flowers in one hand and a diamond box in the other. Chen Jie’s pursuit of Zi Yuan had caused a huge sensation throughout Nanling City back then, but he was still rejected. This was also why Zi Yuan was so envied, because Chen Jie, the son of the richest man in Nanling, had pursued her so ostentatiously! Meanwhile, many girls who chased after Chen Jie were looked down upon.
“Thank you, but I already have someone I like,” Zi Yuan smiled. She liked Luo Wuji! Of course, no one knew this except herself. Chen Jie was instantly embarrassed. After all, being rejected in front of so many people was hard to take, and he was one of the Two Young Masters of Nanling, so he cared about his face!
“Who?” Chen Jie’s face immediately darkened.
“No comment.” Zi Yuan bypassed Chen Jie and walked away, and Luo Chen naturally went with her. At this moment, Tang Long went up and whispered a few words in Chen Jie’s ear. He told Chen Jie about Luo Chen giving Zi Yuan an evening gown worth twenty million. After all, Chen Jie had not arrived yet when the gown was given, so he did not know.
“I get it. No wonder. So that is how it is. It must be him then, right?” Chen Jie sneered as he looked at Luo Chen’s back. “But I am the son of the richest man in Nanling. Would I lack money?”
“Wait!” Chen Jie suddenly called out to Zi Yuan. He had already disliked Luo Chen because of the piano performance just now. Now, after hearing Tang Long’s words, he naturally realised that the person Zi Yuan liked was very likely this Luo Chen. If Luo Chen had won Zi Yuan’s heart by throwing money around, then he would throw money too! After all, when it came to throwing money, who would the son of the richest man in Nanling be afraid of?
Zi Yuan turned her head back in confusion, and Luo Chen naturally stopped as well. Chen Jie walked quickly to Luo Chen, took out a bank card from inside his jacket, and then said coldly.
“There are forty million in this card. Leave her!”
