Chapter 1196 Bragging to the Point That Even You Don’t Believe It

Not waiting for Long Chen to reply, the woman started playing her zither . The melodious zither music reverberated through the air, and the sound waves spread throughout the majority of Grand Xia City .

Countless experts in the city gazed into the distance at the Heavenly Cloud Platform . That zither music seemed to possess its own will that was giving them food for thought .

“Long Chen, you’re actually skilled in music theory? How did she know that? Do you know her?” Xia Youluo suspiciously looked at Long Chen .

“I also find it strange . Even I didn’t know I was proficient in music theory!” exclaimed Long Chen with shock .

A chuckle escaped Xia Youluo’s lips, and she lightly beat him, warning, “Now’s not the time to mess around . She’ll definitely ask you for pointers once she is done, so prepare yourself . ”

“No need to worry . Could such a thing pose any difficulty to me, Long Chen? She’s looking down on me far too much . ” Long Chen puffed out his chest .

“You have a way to deal with her?” asked Xia Youluo with surprise .

“A tactical escape . You busy yourself while I leave . ” Long Chen stood up to leave, but Xia Youluo pulled him back down .

“You’re running from a battle . How can you act like this? How will you even raise your head in the future?” demanded Xia Youluo .

“Why would I raise my head? It’s tiring . ” Long Chen shrugged .

“Think of some way to handle her! You’re so smart, you can definitely deal with her, right?” said Xia Youluo expectantly .

“That’s not very likely . Of the seven apertures, I am only skilled in six . I have no a.s.surance,” said Long Chen gravely .

“Being skilled in six of them is already extremely amazing! Wait, are you saying… you’re saying you don’t even know one[1]?!” Xia Youluo reacted after a moment .

“Exactly!” When it came to music, Long Chen truly knew nothing . So fleeing was definitely the best choice .

“But you can’t just escape, or it’ll lose the face of our Grand Xia . Right now, you’re one of the Grand Xia’s generals, so you can’t run . ” Xia Youluo kept a tight hold of Long Chen as if afraid he would slip away right this instant .

Long Chen found it funny . This girl was too pure-hearted . Sometimes, she couldn’t even tell a joke and thought he really was running .

“Primal chaos split at the beginning, Yang formed the Heavens, Yin formed the Earth, Yin and Yang divided, Heaven and Earth facing…”

Just at this moment, a sweet singing sound began to accompany the zither music . That woman was actually singing while playing .

Her singing was very nice, and her song was a scripture containing the essence of the world . As her voice resounded in people’s ears, they felt their mental realms rising . She was truly powerful .

Once this song was over, everyone had to nod in praise . This song was truly amazing . If they could hear this song continuously, their mental realms would rapidly rise .

“Mister Long Chen, please give me some pointers . ” The woman looked toward Long Chen . She stayed standing on the stage, refusing to get off .

Long Chen frowned . Did she really have to act like this? He didn’t recall any personal enmity between them . Why would she force him like this?

“Miss, you are forcing me!” Long Chen bitterly smiled .

“I’ve long since heard that mister Long Chen’s skill in the Music Dao is extremely profound . I truly want to hear your appraisal . ” The woman looked at Long Chen sincerely, but while that sincerity might be able to trick others, it wasn’t able to trick Long Chen .

Xia Yunchong and the others were surprised to see this woman view Long Chen so highly . They hadn’t expected Long Chen to have such a skill .

Han Wenjun sneered . The higher he raised Long Chen, the better it would feel to knock him on the ground .

“Miss, where did you hear that I’m skilled in musical theory?” Long Chen smiled a smile that was not a smile at the woman .

She looked at him . For some unknown reason, her heart pounded wildly when Long Chen was staring at her . She couldn’t lie while looking at Long Chen .

However, she did have guts . She smiled and bowed toward Long Chen, lowering her head to avoid his gaze . “Mister Long Chen, you don’t need to be humble . Could it be that you refuse to give me any pointers?”

Since you want to force me like this despite the fact that we don’t have any enmity, I won’t stand on courtesy . Long Chen had never been afraid of bragging . Words began to flow from his mouth . “Alright, you’re right . My humble-self began studying literature at three and martial arts at four, at five I could recite poetry and songs, at six I could kill chickens and pigs, at seven I could slaughter dragons and tigers, at eight I saw through the mundane world of dust and began to study the various musical arts . When it comes to the Music Dao, from the heights of the heavens to the depths of the earth, the zither, the guqin, the lute, the morning bells, the evening drum, there is none that I am not skilled in…”

Long Chen’s bragging caused these people’s ears to buzz and their eyes to see stars . Some of them even had their hair stand on end .

At first, they were truly shocked by Long Chen . But then Long Chen’s words came out like a torrent, and he bragged for a full two hours without repeating a single phrase . Now they all finally realized he was just bragging .
