Zuan chuckled sheepishly, scratched his head, and said, "That's different. I only know one song for that instrument."
Xie Xiu couldn't help but sigh, "Such humility is a bit unlike your personality, Azu."
Zuan thought about it and realized that it made sense. Anyway, no one in this world knows that Dangdang plagiarist... ah, pui pui pui, Dangdang porter brought some of the crystallization of human art from my world to this world and carried it forward. It should be a very glorious thing. Why should I feel guilty?
At this moment, Shang Liuyu hummed a few tunes, the melody of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer": "Auntie, I really think this piece is good. It has both a sense of freedom and unrestraint, and a kind of inspiring effect. It's like hearing the war songs of the beastmen. It's very similar to the B-B-what you used to make your entrance last time?"
She taught a class on the languages and cultures of all races, so she was very knowledgeable and experienced. Therefore, no one doubted that she had heard the orc war song.
“BGM means background music,” Zuan added.
“BGM…” Shang Liuyu murmured to herself. She was fluent in various languages, but she didn’t know which language this was.
She thought for a while but couldn't come up with anything, so she gave up. "I heard that you won the heart of Qiu Honglei, the most popular courtesan in Shenxianju, with this song?"
Zu An waved his hand: "Those are just rumors circulating in the streets, don't take them seriously."
"Isn't that right?" Shang Liuyu was somewhat surprised and looked at Xie Xiu with a puzzled expression.
Xie Xiu couldn't help but say, "But it was indeed with this song that you made Qiu fall in love with you that day."
"Nonsense, I didn't win her heart with this song, but with my looks and talent," Zuan replied seriously.
Xie Xiu: "..."
Shang Liuyu: "..."
The squad behind: "..."
How could there be such a shameless person in the world!
In the end, Shang Liuyu was the first to recover: "Auntie, when will you compose a piece for me? Your pieces are all very interesting."
Her previous works, such as "The Original Scenery of My Hometown," "God of Gamblers," and "The Song of the Swordsman," all gave her a refreshing feeling. They were completely different from the popular music in the world, but they were also very much in line with music theory. They were both novel and easy to evoke emotions.
“Okay!” Zuan readily agreed.
Xie Xiu, who was following behind, felt a pang of jealousy. She thought to herself, "If I had known this would happen, I should have learned more music from my sister."
Next, a group of people arrived at the Silver Hook Gambling House. Zu An directly took out the IOU for the Plum Blossom Gang that Shang Liuyu had given him in advance, and then began to accept the work.
The Plum Blossom Gang was already in chaos after Mei Chaofeng's death, and then Plum Blossom Seven, the manager of the Silver Hook Gambling House, was killed by the enraged Shi Kun, making the situation even more chaotic.
Today, Zu'an represents the Chu family in a certain sense. Accompanying him are staff from Mingyue Academy and the young master of the city lord's family. To some extent, they can be considered the three top forces in Mingyue City. How could the people of Silver Hook Gambling House dare to resist?
Even if a few people had objections, they were dealt with directly by the academy's small team without Zu An or Shang Liuyu having to lift a finger.
Xie Xiu was unaware of the deal between the two parties and was secretly alarmed. He wondered why the academy would help Zu An so much. This guy was really special, hated to the bone by one group of people, yet liked so much by another.
The people sent by Jiang Luofu were indeed professional. They quickly inventoried and sealed off all the assets and receipts in the Silver Hook Gambling House, drove out the original Plum Blossom Gang members, and then affixed seals to the door.
Afterwards, the college will send logistics personnel here to recruit new staff, renovate and reopen the business.
Seeing that the academy was helping so much, it was a foregone conclusion that Zu'an would take over the Plum Blossom Gang's assets. Xie Xiu thought it would be better to do the same to both sides, so he sent word to bring in some government officials to help.
This made the process much more efficient. The group raided and seized the Plum Blossom Gang's properties one after another. What was originally expected to take several days was actually completed in just one day.
"Grandpa, you have to treat us to a good meal after we're done today. We're so tired, our backs ache, and our legs are cramping." Xie Xiu was getting impatient halfway through. After all, a playboy like him couldn't even be bothered with his own affairs, so he had no time to do these things.
Fortunately, Shang Liuyu is truly beautiful, and there are usually few opportunities to come into contact with her. This close-up appreciation is a great pleasure, which is why he has been able to persist for so long.
Zu An said with a smile, "Xiuer, you're so young and you already have backaches, leg cramps, and other ailments. This is probably a sign of kidney deficiency. You should go to Doctor Ji's clinic and get some medicine to help you recover."
Xie Xiu: "..."
The others around chuckled softly, and even Shang Liuyu covered his mouth and smiled.
Xie Xiu was speechless for a moment, thinking to herself, "Which eye of yours saw that I have kidney deficiency? I'm perfectly fine in that area, okay? Otherwise, why would those girls and ladies make such a fuss when they break up with me?"
If you don't believe me, let's have a competition!
The moment the thought crossed his mind, the scene he had witnessed in the secret realm flashed through his mind, and he instantly felt terrible.
Damn it, I'm not going to compete anymore.
Anger from Xie Xiu: +66 +66 +66...
Sensing his continued resentment, Zu'an laughed and said, "Just kidding. I'll definitely treat everyone to a meal later."
The people around cheered and instantly perked up, which made Xie Xiu feel a little better.
There was only one family left. After a while, someone grabbed a middle-aged man and threw him over: "Teacher Shang, Teacher Zu, this guy is trying to escape, and he's carrying a lot of land deeds and silver notes."
"This guy looks like Plum Blossom Fourth from the Plum Blossom Gang, right?" someone recognized him.
