188 It’s so lonely to be peerless! (2/2)

This Li Bai is way too vile huh? He wouldn’t even leave a shred of dignity left for young master Zhao? He’s truly pushing young master Zhao into a corner. Now if young master Zhao doesn’t jump into the lake and kill himself, he would find it hard to ever be in the presence of educated students.

Also, why did this kid take a qin out? What was he trying to do? Could it be that… He even knows how to play music?

Under the many watchful eyes of everyone around, Xu Que opened his mouth as he looked up towards the ceiling at a 45 degrees angle. He condensed his core energy within his dantian and let his voice loose.

”In this world, I wonder if this mountain is the tallest…”

”Hoo hah!”

”Or could there be another taller peak, which extends far into the heavens…”

”Hoo hah!”

”In this world, there is something else taller than this mountain…”

”It’s another mountain. Because for every tall mountain, there’s another taller one…”

His voice was filled with power and emotions, as he sang brightly and confidently. His voice echoed throughout the entire building.

Everyone who watched on were at a loss for words. Damn it, for every tall mountain, there’s another taller one? Big brother, he’s clearly lost to you already. Do you have to continue taunting him so relentlessly? You even turned it into a song! Could it be that you truly wished for him to end his life by jumping into the lake?

Young master Zhao who froze by the door blushed a deep shade of red. The veins in his forehead looked like they were about to explode in anger. He then turned to Xu Que and glared at him in fury, ”Li Bai, you…”

”Zhng zhng…”

Even before he could complete his sentence, Xu Que strummed once again, interrupting him.

The crowd was once again at a loss for words. What does this mean? The song… Changed?

Xu Que then collected his energy before his mouth formed the shape of an O. Immediately after, a deep and low sounding voice could be heard….

”It’s so lonely, so lonely to be peerless…”

”It’s so empty, so empty to be peerless…”

”I stand alone at the pinnacle, as the cold breeze blow against my skin. Me, my loneliness and I, who can ever understand me...”

The vision of the audience nearly went black as some of them risked falling to the ground.

It was so lonely being peerless? It was so empty to be peerless? You stand alone at the pinnacle as the cold wind blow against your skin?

Big brother, I beg you, can you stop singing?

Young master Zhao pressed his hand to his chest, as he contained himself, doing his utmost not to spit blood out. His eyes were almost bulging out as fiery anger welled up within his chest. However, he was careful not to cause a scene before Madam Ya. After clearing his throat in anger, he turned around to leave.

Mo Yun Shang’s face froze. He didn’t dare to linger behind as well and hurriedly followed young master Zhao.

The pair of great students had left and Xu Que still didn’t look like he was about to stop. He was still playing on his qin, singing loudly.

This songwas obtained because of his Two Star Musician talent, and had affected many people around.

After listening to him repeat his lyrics, they actually felt the sense of loneliness and emptiness within his heart.

Even Madam Ya opened her mouth wide as she looked intently at Xu Que, her heart was appalled. She had never seen someone so multi-talented, and yet felt so lonely in her entire life.

Why was this young mister Li so mysterious? Apart from poems and couplets, he was equally adept in musical instruments? In this world… Was there truly such a talented person? No, no, no, no…

”Eh.. Hmm...”

Soon after, Madam Ya cleared her throat gently as her body trembled, her face was blushing a bright shade of red. She had lost control of herself and the matt which lay below was starting to emit a strange smell. The grey matt had started taking on a black shade to it as well.

However, nobody had noticed the change in Madam Ya’s behaviour since everyone else was focused on Xu Que. They had sunk deep into the lyrics of his song. They had also lost themselves in how Xu Que had managed to completely defeat the great students and was now unrivalled.

All the way till the end, when the strumming of the qin ended, and the music had stopped...

The entire hall was filled with silence!
