1468 The Monarchs Hall! (1/2)
It seemed that people in the crowd on the street were all waiting for the arrival of a man named Master Xiao.
It seemed to the people that it was such a great honor to have a close look at that Master Xiao.
All of a sudden, there was a scent in the air coming from the gate of the City of Chaos. It smelled like some special flower.
After that, Ye Xiao saw some men in white clothes walking over slowly from far away. Twenty-four young men in white clothes were walking in front of the others. They were all wearing white and long clothes, with their swords, and red braids on the handles of their swords. They walked on the street with their heads up, like straight and strong spears. None of them had a facial expression on the face. Each of them was young and pretty.
After the twenty-four young man, there were twenty-four young ladies, walking slowly ahead, who were all in perfect body shape—looking gorgeous. The twenty-four girls walked together just like twenty-four tea flowers blossoming in the air. What a beautiful scene!
The two groups of young cultivators walked over the street, leaving flowers everywhere.
The red rose petals fell on the floor and covered every corner.
The street became a long red carpet all of a sudden.
The wonderful scent of the flowers spread ten miles away.
After the twenty-four young ladies walked over, there were five people walking casually over.
Hmm. In fact, only the man in the middle seemed to be casual. The four others of them were standing around him, wearing black clothes like they were all soaked by ink. When they stepped on the floor, no dust flew up. It was dawn and the sky was bright, but these people made Ye Xiao felt like this was a world of ghosts!
The four men who were like ghosts actually made the man in the middle shine in gloss!
The man in the middle was a young man in white clothes; who had a pretty and clean face, two big bright eyes, who was tall and strong. He was walking straight up with his perfect body. What an extremely handsome man.
The man was beautiful. He wasn't angry but didn't seem to be happy either. He just walked ahead without facial expression.
In another's eyes, there was no room for the other four men who were in black clothes.
The young man alone was like a fairy among the flowers; coming alongside the wind flow, dancing among the sea of flowers, and pacing around the flowers. Everything was perfect around him. His every step landed on the red petals on the floor. Everything seemed to be so natural.
His dark hair was fluttering in the air over the collar of his white clothes. His eyes were profound like there was an ocean of stars inside them, and he just walked over step by step.
About a hundred feet behind him, there were over ten young men and young ladies following him in lines.
The crowd was suddenly simmering with excitement.
”Master Xiao!”
”Master Xiao!”
”Master Xiao has come! It is true!”
”Oh, my heavens… Finally, I see Master Xiao with my own eyes… I am so happy…”
”It seems Master Xiao is going to play a song in the City of Chaos, isn't he?”
”That will be such a blessing to us…”
”The sound of the song from heavens…”
”I am so looking forward to it.”
”I am not leaving. I am absolutely staying. I will wait here, no matter what happens. I will follow Master Xiao to wherever he goes. I have to listen to the music he plays.”
”Me too.”
The group of people in white clothes were moving slowly forward. They acted like they couldn't hear any of the noisy sounds on the street. They just ignored the people in fever.
It seemed they were used to such a situation.
When they walked over somewhere, people near them would become silent. Nobody made any sound. When they left, people would start whispering, and then returned to chaos again…
”Master Xiao…” Ye Xiao frowned.
When the young man who was called Master Xiao walked over the inn in which Ye Xiao stayed, Ye Xiao finally had a clear sight of the man's face.
He was young, handsome, peaceful, with a mysterious look on his face.
It was definitely a favorable face to most of the people in the world. He was definitely a perfect man to marry for many young ladies.
However, when Ye Xiao saw that pretty face, he frowned.
He felt that he didn't like that Master Xiao.
He just didn't like him, and he couldn't think of a reason.
He just disliked the man out of his instinct!
For Ye Xiao, it was such a weird feeling. In the old days, when he saw Master Bai, who was always wearing a profound and mysterious expression on his face when he saw Ling Wuxie, who always looked lazy and indifferent. Ye Xiao only felt the hostility. He even liked the two arrogant men at some point. All in all, he barely disliked somebody just for the first sight.
However, he was sure he disliked the young man—Master Xiao, and this was his first time to see that man!
In fact, he hated that man from the bottom of his heart! He was disgusted!
When he saw that face, he felt sick. He had that cold feeling in his heart that aroused a chill that hit him… He felt like there was a poisonous snake that moved below him, waiting to attack at any second. He felt like under a fatal danger. It just didn't feel right.
”Master Xiao…” Ye Xiao humphed and murmured in his head, 'He actually has a similar name to me…'
'Look at him, swaggering through the street…'
”Master Xiao is here.”
The entire morning, everybody was talking about one thing in the City of Chaos.
Master Xiao came to the City of Chaos to look for a metal. He had made a reward for it.
He was going to pay one thousand purple spirit coins for that metal.
That was it, a message about the reward.
Master Xiao's vertical bamboo flute was broken in an accident, so he had to make a new flute for himself.
Not all metals were good enough for Master Xiao.
The metals he wanted were all those that only existed in the old stories.
One thousand purple spirit coins was definitely a fortune to most people in the world. Some people were known as wealthy people in the world, but most of them did not have one thousand purple spirit coins.
Master Xiao offered so much money just to find the metal he wanted, to make his vertical bamboo flute!
It took less than half a day for such a message of a breaking news to spread to the entire City of Chaos!
As it was told, Master Xiao's people had already contacted all the salesroom and galleries… They had asked all possible forces for help.
When Ye Xiao heard the news, he hesitated and then got lost in thoughts.
Brocade Steel, Cosmos Iron, and Feather Bronze.
The man, Master Xiao is looking for these three metals. Every one of them was legendary metals, which was extremely rare.
That afternoon, the Dark Evil Spirit returned from collecting information.
”Young Master, Master Xiao's surprising arrival and his surprising reward could be a perfect opportunity for us to make a fortune.” The Dark Evil Spirit said.
”Old Dark, what is this Master Xiao? Who is he? What is his background?” Ye Xiao asked.
”…” The Dark Evil Spirit was wordless. After thinking for a while, he said, ”Master Xiao is a famous musician in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, who is good at playing a vertical bamboo flute. When he plays a song with his vertical bamboo flute, the world seems to float in the smoke. He is the best vertical bamboo flute player in the Human Realm Upon Heavens for sure.
”As for his background… Well, I just know that his family name is Xiao. Nobody knows what is his given name. His great technique in vertical bamboo flute playing is peerless in the Human Realm Upon Heavens for sure. If he claims to be the second best vertical bamboo flute player in the world, nobody dares to claim the first.
”If he is just a musician, he wouldn't be so famous among the superior cultivators. As it is told, Master Xiao can use his pure spiritual power to play his song. When he does that, the audience will sense the greatness of the cosmos, and some may even have a breakthrough in cultivation…
”That is why Master Xiao becomes the recognized world's most powerful vertical bamboo flute musician in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. No matter where he goes, people greet him with enthusiasm. Everybody likes him. However, it is a shame to people like us, because he always only traveled to the royal cities and great cities in the world… It is quite shocking that he actually comes to the City of Chaos in the Limitless Ocean. This is quite weird.”
