Chapter 318: The annoucement

…

The chamber was the private place for the girls.

Fang Zhengzhi was not particularly interested in entering the chambers at night. However, he still entered.

To him, as long as one’s moral compass was strong…

There was not much difference between entering and not entering.

There was a saying. As long as one believed in buddha, even alcohol and meat could pass through one’s gut without being digested.

Fang Zhengzhi stepped into Immortal Tune’s chambers. He looked around and began to take in the decorations.

Usually, the way the chamber was decorated would reveal something about the girl’s character.

Immortal Tune’s chamber was extremely gentle and warm. Light incense filled the room, giving a calming effect.

The floor was carpeted, making it very comfortable to walk on.

As for color.

It was primarily light blue and green. The carpets were light blue and the green came from the plants on the windowsill.

“Young Master Fang, please have a seat.” Immortal Tune gestured to a chair in the middle of the room.

Fang Zhengzhi sat down without hesitation.

Even though there were some differences between this world and his previous world, their thinking was not that much different. The customer was still the most important person.

Leaving the seat in the chamber for the guest showed respect.

Immortal Tune poured a cup of tea for Fang Zhengzhi as he sat down and brought him a plate of nuts. Then, she bowed and placed the cup of tea in his hands.

Fang Zhengzhi did not move.

He did not feel comfortable being served by Immortal Tune this way. He felt that something was amiss.

He had never been here before.

He could possibly attribute the events of today to luck. However, he knew that everything happened for a reason.

He had done absolutely nothing.

He didn’t perform the duet, he didn’t compose any poems. He showed neither talent nor ability.

Yet, he was invited into the chambers. Furthermore, he was invited by the most popular girl. There could only be two possibilities.

One, he was incredibly handsome. Two, he looked like her father.

Fang Zhengzhi felt that neither was likely.

As such, the only remaining reason was…

He had no idea.

Fang Zhengzhi did not know, but, he wanted to know. As such, he began to observe Immortal Tune carefully.

“Young Master Fang, please have some tea.” Immortal Tune brought the cup of tea to Fang Zhengzhi.

“Thank you.” Fang Zhengzhi thanked her and took the cup of tea. However, he did not drink it immediately.

Immortal Tune did not wait for Fang Zhengzhi to drink it.

She turned and entered a room within the chamber. Within moments, she had changed into a different set of clothes.

She was not in a pale blue dress.

It was not as gaudy as her red dress, but it added a layer of gentleness to her. More importantly, Immortal Tune had removed her veil.

Her exquisite features were in the open for Fang Zhengzhi to see.

Immortal Tune’s features were beautiful and small. Everything about her was small, her nose, her mouth, even her face.

Yet, just looking at it was oddly calming.

Fang Zhengzhi had thought that he would have to remove the veil himself. However, Immortal Tune clearly was not going to give him the chance, removing the veil herself.

Then, everything proceeded according to plan.

Immortal Tune placed her guqin on the rosewood desk and began to perform.

A melodious tune filled the room. It felt just as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring. Coupled with the intoxicating incense, this was true enjoyment.

Fang Zhengzhi rarely listened to music and did not know much about it.

However, he had heard great musicians, including Yun Qingwu and Chi Guyan.

Yun Qingwu’s music was slightly more classy and open. It transported one’s spirits through mountains and oceans, making one feel oddly refreshed.

Chi Guyan’s music was more poetic. It made people feel like they were admiring various works of art. Everything from grass to creeks could be made beautiful by her music.

Immortal Tune’s music was different from both the others.

It was gentle.

It was as gentle as water and as warm as jade. Listening to it made one feel snug and comfortable.

Fang Zhengzhi was so captivated by the music he completely lost track of time.

All of a sudden, he felt thirsty.

He looked at the cold cup of tea in front of him.

Immortal Tune seemed to notice it. She immediately stopped playing and walked into an adjacent room. She came out with a fresh pot of tea.

She also changed into another outfit.

This one was green with embroidery of leaves. She had a matching green flower in her hair.

If she was like water previously, now, she felt like spring. Everything about her screamed nature and the warmth of spring.

“Young Master Fang, please have some tea.” Immortal Tune filled the cup and brought it to Fang Zhengzhi.

“Thank you.” Fang Zhengzhi took the cup and felt the warmth emanating for it. Yet, he did not drink the tea.

Then, his hand trembled a little.

A loose piece of silver fell into the slightly cold cup of tea.

Splash.

“Young Master Fang, you dropped a tael of silver.” Immortal Tune did not react when she saw the silver drop into the cup. She picked it up and brought it to Fang Zhengzhi.

“Thank you.” Fang Zhengzhi coughed lightly, then kept the silver.

Then, he placed the fresh cup of tea by his lip. He took a sniff, the aroma of the tea hitting his nose instantly. He gulped it down.

He swirled the tea around in his mouth.

“Good tea.”

“Thank you for the compliment. This tea was made by me. I used dried flowers to enhance the flavor.” Immortal Tune explained.

“Mm.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

He did not really know much about tea. He only knew if a tea was nice to drink or not. However, he now knew from Immortal Tune that this was a type of floral tea.

Immortal Tune went back to her original position.

“Young Master Fang, do you enjoy watching dances?”

“Whatever you want to perform.” Fang Zhengzhi actually enjoyed watching dances, but he could not possibly say that.

He had to show some class.

“Then I shall dance for you.” Immortal Tune smiled when she heard this. She immediately began to dance.

Fang Zhengzhi felt a wave of emotions build up as he watched Immortal Tune dance.

In order to be the top girl in this world.

Was quite difficult.

In order to be this good with instruments, one must have had at least a decade of practice. Furthermore, in order to dance this well, she must have put in a lot of effort.

The girls had to be beautiful and be able to sing, dance, make music…

It was probably even more difficult than being a superstar in his previous world. They had to be young. Once they were past their prime, they would not be wanted.

All of their talents would go to waste.

This was the harsh reality.

When they were in their prime, everyone would praise them and fight for them. However, when that was over, they would be shunned.

They were just like flowers, aromatic and beautiful when they bloomed, but just brown and forgotten when they wilted.

Fang Zhengzhi drank even more cups of tea as he watched the dance.

After Immortal Tune danced for some time, she stopped. Then, she re lit the incense before retreating to the adjacent room.

She must be going to change again?

Ever since he came in, she had wore red, blue, and green. He wondered what she would change to now.

Before long…

Another figure walked out from the room.

She wore a black dress and golden cloth shoes this time. Furthermore, she had a red dot on her forehead.

Her steps looked different.

her aura and demeanor had completely changed from the warmth of spring just now,. This time, she was incredibly charming.

Fang Zhengzhi was shocked when he saw the figure come out from the room. Isn’t this too drastic a change?

Did the clothes make that much of a difference?

Even if it did, where did she get the charm from?

Hang on!

Something was not quite right!

Fang Zhengzhi found something strange. The lady was not holding a pot of tea or any instruments.

She walked straight towards him.

Beaming radiantly as she did so.

Fang Zhengzhi felt that something was amiss. He wanted to see how what this lady looked like, but his vision was blurred.

It was almost as if his eyes were covered by a layer of mist.

More importantly, he felt all his strength and energy exit his body. He was completely immobilized.

“Damn it, I fell into the trap!”

Fang Zhengzhi was jolted. He wanted to resist, but his body wouldn’t respond to his will. All he could do was watch as the figure approached him.

More importantly…

He still couldn’t see what she looked like.

Damn it!

Was he going to lose his virginity tonight? He was only 15! Even if he was to lose his virginity, he did not want to be raped!

…

Dawn the next day.

It was late autumn and the temperature was dropping. The wind was strong, sending fallen leaves flying into the air. Birds flew around, pooping wherever they went.

One of the volleys hit Wu Feng on his head.

Wu Feng was still deep in thought. He left the Intellectual Loft extremely late. However, when he left, Fang Zhengzhi was still inside.

That meant that Fang Zhengzhi spent the night there.

Inviting someone into the chamber to listen to music and spending the night in the chamber were two very different things. Even though he did not think that Immortal Tune would sleep with Fang Zhengzhi…

But what if she did?

There was always a possibility. He was furious, so much so that he did not even realize the bird dropping on his head.

When he realized it.

He was even more infuriated.

How fast could a bird be? Normally, he would be able to dodge in time. Either way, the birds were out of reach by now.

“Damn it, wear pants when you go out!” Wu Feng hollered.

The birds turned back to look at Wu Feng. Its black eyes were filled with scorn, almost as if they were saying, “Who wears pants when they poop?”

Wu Feng did not understand their language.

But, he did see the bird turn back.

His eyesight was incredible. More amazingly, he immediately retrieved his jade flute and began to play.

“Chirp!”

This was just like the sound of the bird.

It was crisp and sharp.

The sound travelled through the air like an arrow.

There was a saying.

An injured bird would be terrified by the sound of the bow.

After a bird was injured, even the sound of the bow would be enough to shoot it down.

The bird in this case was not injured. In fact, it was quite proud of itself. Even so, it was still shot down. When the sound rang out, its wings froze in position.

“Woosh!”

The bird crashed into a branch and fell to the ground.

Wu Feng put down the flute, his eyes shining icily. Then, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the poop off his head before turning back to the hotel.

Today was the court examination results day.

He was expected to do extremely well in this examination. How could he go to the hall with bird poop on his head.

Many people were going towards the palace. Even though they could not enter the palace and hear the results…

The announcement could be heard from the vicinity of the palace.

Normally, the names of the candidates who passed would be announced three times. For the top three, the names would be relayed all the way from the Imperial Decree Hall to the outskirts of the city.

It was the greatest honor.

It was something every talent wanted.

The previous night was a sleepless one. All of the talents woke up early in the morning and prepared their best outfit for the occasion.

This was a grand event with many honored guests.

The disciples from most of the major families and well as some of the most influential people throughout the empire were eager to see the results…
