Long Chen and Liao Yuhuang entered the arena, and the entire arena fell silent. Both were considered strong contenders with championship potential, and they finally met in the quarterfinals. No one could predict the outcome of this match.
"May I ask, who gave you your name?" Long Chen looked at Liao Yuhuang and spoke.
"My mother gave it to me." Liao Yuhuang replied.
"What a good name. It seems your mother is not only skilled in the Dao but also possesses a spiritual realm so high that people admire her." Long Chen said.
"No way, the boss wants to flatter him too?"
Bai Xiaole said in disbelief.
He had put on a humble demeanor at first, afraid that if he upset Liao Yuhuang and got him beaten, he knew Liao Yuhuang wouldn't kill him, but losing so badly was unbearable for him.
As soon as Long Chen took the stage, he started praising Liao Yuhuang's name, which made people feel that the flattery was a bit too forced.
"Long Chen is just someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong. When he sees the weak, he shows off his might; when he sees the strong, he just keeps his tail between his legs."
"That's right. Now everyone has seen his true colors, right? You've all been fooled by him. This guy really has no real ability."
"He's just a mysterious guy, just like that Bai Xiaole. Once exposed, he chickened out completely. Before the fight started, he tried to get closer."
"Long Chen, you've completely disgraced a man. Get off here quickly."
For a moment, many people started to cheer, deliberately shouting and cursing loudly to embarrass Long Chen. As the match progressed, the formation had not completely separated the arena from the viewing platform. To let spectators feel the atmosphere on the arena, they could hear sounds from outside.
But since they had already reached the quarterfinals, no one would let the outside scolding affect their mood.
"Brother Long, you flatter me, but my mother is indeed a remarkable figure. She oversees the seventeenth branch of the Qin Sect. I'm very curious—how did you know, Brother Long?" Liao Yuhuang looked at Long Chen with interest, because Long Chen was indeed right.
As soon as Liao Yuhuang spoke, those who had been cursing Long Chen immediately fell silent. In charge of the Seventeenth Sect? Isn't that the sect leader? No one expected that Liao Yuhuang was actually the daughter of the sect leader of the 17th branch of the Qin Sect. She was also a terrifying figure.
The Qin Sect is one of the four ancient sects. Its lineage has been passed down since ancient times, enduring the passage of time without interruption, with a foundation so profound it is astonishing.
The Four Ancient Sects have a longer history than the Blood Killing Hall. Although they are very low-key, their fame has always been huge, almost everyone knows them. Liao Yuhuang is the daughter of the sect leader, which explains why she is so terrifying. Those who were defeated by Liao Yuhuang have completely accepted it.
"It's simple. You can tell from your name: the characters Yu and Huang are derived from the five tones and the twelve lü. The five tones are Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, and Yu.
The twelve pitches are divided into yin and yang pitches. There are six yang pitches: Huangzhong, Taicu, Guxi, Ruibin, Yize, and Wangshe; There are six types of yin pitch: Dalu, Jiazhong, Zhonglü, Linzhong, Nanlü, and Yingzhong. Altogether, there are twelve pitches.
Usually, when we say the sound is like the grand bell and pitch of the Yellow Bell, piercing straight to the heart, we mean the foremost of the twelve pitches, the yin and yang pitches.
Your name comes from the Five Tones and Twelve Pitches: Yu is the last of the five notes, Huang refers to Huangzhong, the first of the twelve pitches.
The five tones are the foundation, the twelve pitches are the auxiliary, the earthly strings and heavenly strings harmonize; thus, the sound connects with heaven and earth, wherever music reaches, all paths unite, the body merges with the mortal world, and sound can penetrate the mysterious.
The qin has seven strings; excluding the strings of heaven and earth, among the five tones, the yu note is the most mysterious, connecting the past and opening the future.
Among the twelve pitches, Huangzhong is the foremost, peering beyond the heavens. You are called Yuhuang. From the perspective of joy in the Dao, it embodies the ultimate principle of Heaven and is the lifelong destiny of most practitioners.
Climbing the green mountains, with dangerous rivers ahead and a path behind, you are always in the midst of choices. I speculate that your mother gave you this name to help you understand: the sea of learning is endless, all found in the struggle to cross it! Long
Chen spoke eloquently, and Liao Yuhuang's eyes widened. She never expected Long Chen to be so skilled in music.
The spectators were even more confused, having no idea what Long Chen was saying, yet it sounded like it made a lot of sense.
"Wow, boss is so impressive, he even understands this?" Bai Xiaole exclaimed in amazement.
"Who's the boss? Above you know the heavens, below you know the earth, between heaven and earth you know the air. Following the boss means there's a lot to learn. Qin Feng chuckled.
Just as everyone on the viewing platform was left confused, Liao Yuhuang respectfully bowed to Long Chen:
"Brother Long, you are truly talented. I admire you. I didn't expect your mastery of music to be so profound. I hope you will guide me."
Long Chen returned the bow slightly and shook his head, saying, "As for music, I only know a little about it, not anything special."
The reason I know all this is because I have a female confidante, who is truly a master of music. Influenced by her, I play music to cows all day, and even I, a clumsy ox, can only understand a little. "
Is there anyone more skilled in music than Brother Long? Then please introduce me to you, Brother Long. I would be deeply grateful. Liao Yuhuang said hurriedly.
Long Chen said, "My confidante ascended with me from the next realm, but lost contact. The Immortal Realm is vast and there is no news at all."
Based on my speculation, after ascending to the Immortal Realm, she should also become a disciple of the Qin Sect. So I want to ask Fairy Yuhuang if there is a woman named Ziyan in your sect?" "
Asking Ziyan, Long Chen couldn't help but feel his heart race, but he knew that was very unlikely.
If Ziyan were to join the Qin Sect, she would never be an unknown figure. With her talent, experience, and spiritual realm, she would rise like a comet.
Sure enough, after hearing Long Chen's words, Liao Yuhuang shook his head: "Sorry, our branch doesn't have anyone like that."
If it were other branch sects, it would be hard to say, because the Qin Sect's branches are so widely distributed that they rarely interact with branches, sometimes even meeting for thousands of years.
Here's what we'll do: when we get back, I'll report to the sect leader and see if I can help you investigate. But don't get your hopes up too high, because only four branch sects are connected to us; we can't reach the others." "
In that case, thank you very much, Fairy Yuhuang. In that case, we can ...," Long Chen rubbed his hands shyly.
The two were so focused on talking that the match had already begun. Long Chen meant that after the small talk, it was time to get down to business. Long Chen's target was the Golden Dragon Scale. No matter their relationship, he definitely couldn't afford to give it up.
Seeing Long Chen say this, Liao Yuhuang smiled: "Brother Long, you are truly a master. I can tell that you are determined to win the championship."
Originally, I should have been tactful and yielding, but stepping back like this makes me unwilling. How about I play a piece for Brother Long? Long
Chen smiled. He understood what Liao Yuhuang meant. In the end, Liao Yuhuang still wanted to test his own strength.
"Zheng"
Liao Yu played the zither with his jade hand. With the sound of the zither, all the powerful figures present suddenly changed their expressions.
