"Get lost if you have nothing to do!" As soon as his two younger sisters left, Qin Mu lightly kicked Qin Huaiyu and said.
"Hehe! Big brother, was that the power of the musical instrument just now? It scared me to death!" Qin Huaiyu asked with a smile as he got up.
"Yes! So if you don't work harder at your training, you won't even be able to beat Yu Ling in the future. How embarrassing will that be?" For boys, encouragement is better than mere motivation.
"That's impossible! I've made great progress recently, while Yuling hasn't even started cultivating yet!" Qin Huaiyu said confidently.
"Hehe, once I've collected all the medicinal herbs, I'll help Yuling refine her body. Then, entering the cultivation world won't be a difficult matter," Qin Mu said with a smile.
"Big brother, you can't forget me! Get me some good stuff to help me recover!" Qin Huaiyu hurriedly said, pulling Qin Mu along.
For him, the most important thing is to become powerful and show off in front of his friends.
"As long as you cultivate diligently, your elder brother won't forget you. But if you disobey, then I won't care," Qin Mu said. Rewards plus threats—a timeless tactic.
"I promise I'll be obedient," Qin Huaiyu hurriedly promised.
"Okay, and make sure you play well with Luo Tong, don't fight," Qin Mu instructed. It's inevitable that the little ones will fight when they get together, calling it "sparring." The problem is they're too young; sometimes they don't know their own strength and it's easy for things to go wrong. Although there are guards watching, if something really happens, it'll be difficult for everyone to explain.
"I understand. I'm the older brother, and I won't bully him."
"Don't bully him. Luo Tong is much more talented than you. If you don't work hard, who knows who will bully whom in the future?"
"I will try my best!" Qin Huaiyu assured him again with certainty.
"Okay, I believe you. Go take a shower and change your clothes now."
"Alright!"
After seeing his younger siblings off, Qin Mu twirled his bamboo flute in his hand and fell into deep thought. He also knew the "Azure Sea Tide Melody," but it had no effect whatsoever.
"Could it be because there's no one to target?" Qin Mu wondered to himself. Thinking this, he ordered someone to summon Qin Yong.
"Young Master, you were looking for me?"
"Qin Yong, I just learned a song. Listen to it and see what you think," Qin Mu said with a smile.
"Hey! Young Master, how would I know anything about that?" Qin Yong said with a bitter face.
"It's nothing, I just wanted you to hear if you don't like it. If you like it, I'll teach my second sister and the others." Qin Mu made up an excuse casually.
"Yes, young master, I'm listening." The honest Qin Yong nodded in agreement.
"Hmm, don't be nervous. Just sit there and listen. Relax. It doesn't matter if it sounds good or not, there are no outsiders here," Qin Mu said with a smile.
Hearing Qin Mu's words, Qin Yong relaxed and sat down to the side. Qin Mu picked up the flute and began to play. He was very familiar with the sheet music, his pronunciation technique was flawless, and he also used his mental energy in sync with the sound.
With his focused playing, Qin Mu felt that he was indistinguishable from the original. However, looking at Qin Yong, his eyes were clear and bright, showing no signs of illusion.
After finishing his performance, before Qin Mu could even ask, Qin Yong gave him a thumbs up and said, "Young Master, you played so well, even better than Xiao Cui..."
Although he didn't know who Xiao Cui was, Qin Mu was speechless and waved his hand, saying, "Go, go, go do your thing."
Seeing that his young master was somewhat unhappy, Qin Yong covered his head and ran away as fast as he could.
"Could it be that Qin Yong's mental strength is too high?" Qin Mu wondered to himself.
Then he tricked Wang Ma into coming over, but all he got in return was the same comment: "Young Master plays the flute so well!"
It's obvious that I've failed!
"Perhaps this piece is more suitable for women." Qin Mu gave himself another reason. Then he started fiddling with the suona. When this thing first came out, it seemed that it was used by men. He just happened to transcribe two pieces for Cheng Lin.
Thinking that playing this at home wasn't quite appropriate, I decided to go to the Six Doors and invited the Cheng sisters over so we could all practice together.
Having confirmed once again that the "Azure Sea Tide Song" had failed with him, Qin Mu then took out the sheet music for the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument).
With the help of the Cheng sisters, the score was perfected, and then it was played at the Six Doors.
The suona and erhu, wow! The sound of them playing was truly heart-wrenching, enough to bring tears to the eyes of anyone who heard it! The Six Doors seemed to be shrouded in sorrow, everyone hurrying about. Of course! They wanted to stay away from Qin Mu and his group; it was entirely an instinctive reaction.
Qin Mu had learned that in this world, if a relative passed away, as long as monks and Taoist priests chanted sutras to help them pass on, wishing them to cleanse their sins in the afterlife and be reborn as humans, there was no need for elaborate rituals like music and fanfare.
When this famous suona piece, the "Funeral Tune," is played, it is truly unmatched. Even the happiest person loses their smile upon hearing it.
Qin Mu initially thought that the musical score had exerted its power, but that was not the case. It was just the sound that made people feel depressed, but it did not affect their minds, which remained clear.
The three of them spent another three days synchronizing their mental energy and vocal frequencies to complete the final step of the musical score.
"Wah! Waaah!" As the brother-in-law, Yuchi Baolin was naturally the best choice for the experiment. With his mind clear, he listened to Cheng Lin's funeral song and cried his heart out.
"A song that breaks my heart, where in the world can I find a kindred spirit! Could it be that Brother Baolin intends to marry both sisters?" Qin Mu said with a melancholy expression. There was nothing he could do, because he discovered that the musical score they had perfected together, when used by him, had no power whatsoever; it was no different from an ordinary person playing a musical instrument.
"Hmph!" Cheng Huaimo's eyes widened, looking as if he wanted to devour Yuchi Baolin. Then, he clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "None of these pretty boys are any good!"
"???" Han Chen
"Serves you right for talking nonsense." Princess Changning smiled and rolled her eyes at Qin Mu, who was equally speechless. After being blessed by the heavens, he too had turned pale, and his skin was so fair and delicate that it made people envious.
Cheng Lin stopped, and Yu Chi Baolin looked up blankly at everyone. Seeing his tear-streaked face, Cheng Huaimo finally felt much happier.
"whee!"
"hey-hey!"
"Haha!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh. They were at a distance and on guard, so they were not affected and laughed at Yuchi Baolin without any pressure.
"Thank you so much, Huai Dao!" Cheng Lin touched the suona with great affection, expressing her gratitude with a face full of excitement.
"Don't mention it. Uncle Cheng would be very happy if he knew you also had the score for an attack." Qin Mu said with a smile, his eyes darting around.
"Yes! Yes! Third Sister, let's go home and tell the old man!" Cheng Huaimo's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly. He was thrilled at the thought of seeing Cheng Zhijie make a fool of himself.
Seeing that Cheng Huaimo understood his intention, Qin Mu was also very happy and added a reminder: "If you sisters play together, the power might be much greater. I have another copy here, which is perfect for a duet. It's not useful to me, so you can take it back and practice!"
