Thousands of eyes on the entire sunset terrace were all looking at the box on the back of the man in front of Jiang Ran.
But at this moment, the person closest to the box cannot see it.
He tried hard to turn his head and look at what was on his back, but unfortunately Jiang Ran held his head down.
Jiang Ran smiled and looked at the people in the field.
This group of people was still quite patient at this time. Although everyone's eyes wanted to take this Jiaowei as their own immediately, they did not act rashly.
Slowly, they looked away from Jiaowei.
He looked at several places in the field.
One is Qifeng Villa.
One is Wenxiang Academy.
Another place is of course Baizhen Club!
There is no need to say more about Qifeng Villa.
As the host of Changqing Mansion, Qifeng Villa is also famous in the world.
Jiang Ran has been living in Qifeng Villa for this period of time.
Qifeng Villa also helped Jiang Ran block many people who wanted to capture Jiaowei.
So much so that many people have debated the purpose of Qifeng Villa.
Some people think that there must have been some transaction between Jiang Ran and Qifeng Villa. Otherwise, Qifeng Villa would have no reason to protect a knife hunter like this.
Some people also heard about the relationship between Xuanyuan Yidao of Blood Sword Hall and Jiang Ran.
Therefore, I felt that Blood Sword Hall was exerting pressure, so Qifeng Villa did not dare to do anything without permission.
Some people even think that Qifeng Villa has another plan and wants to gain Jiang Ran's trust before making plans later.
All in all, personal opinions all have different biases due to different perspectives and intelligence.
As for Wenxiang Academy, there were quite a few people here this time.
It was Liu Zongming, the leader of the academy, who personally led the disciples here.
There were more than twenty people behind us. It was obviously an away game, but the momentum didn't look much smaller than that of Qifeng Villa.
Therefore, many people feel that this trip to Wenxiang Academy is bound to win against Jiaowei...
In contrast, at the equally famous Huanqiu Lake Tingyu Tower, only one Gu Shengyan came this time.
Gu Shengyan's reputation in the world is not small. Her main reputation comes from the fact that she followed her mentor "Xiaoxiao Yuluo" Xiao Lianshang to test the sword in the world, and she was challenged by various sects and sought training.
With a 'small bamboo sword' and a set of [Xiaofeng Tingyu], he got his name as a flower sword.
He is quite famous among the younger generation.
Being able to represent Tingyulou in this tea tasting and piano appreciation meeting today shows that he is a great person.
However, this person seemed to be staying at Qifeng Villa during this period.
But I don’t know how much overlap there is with Jiang Ran?
Moreover, he was alone after all and could not be compared with others, so he was not taken seriously by most people.
This is just like Ruan Yuqing.
Although the Shuiyue Sword Sect is strong, there is only one Ruan Yuqing, so what's the point?
In the end, the most important thing is Baizhen’s meeting!
Vice leader Yan Wushuang personally led his disciples to Sunset Ping to attend the meeting.
Among the thirteen gangs of the Second Club, Five Swords, and Seven Factions, this is one of the top-ranked Second Clubs. No matter which family, sect, or faction in the field, no one dares to underestimate it.
Everyone felt that if they wanted to capture Jiaowei today.
The Baizhen Society is the threshold they must cross.
As for the Baizhenhui disciples who came out to maintain order in this venue...
This did not attract much attention.
Everyone knows that Baizhen will be a businessman.
Wherever there is business, there must be people from the Baizhen Society.
It can be seen from the behavior of that group of people that Jiang Ran entrusted Baizhen Club to prepare for this scene on Sunset Ping.
Therefore, Baizhenhui naturally does not allow others to cause trouble here.
But this point has no conflict with Baizhen Society's desire to seize Jiaowei.
Business is business, and purpose is purpose. If Baizhen Club couldn't even distinguish this, then they wouldn't be able to have such a huge net worth.
In addition to these three families, there are still a few people who are concerned about it, namely a few well-known people in the world.
‘Clumsy Qin’ Yan Wenge.
This person is famous for his music, and he likes to carry a qin on his back and walk around the world.
The self-created [Seven-string Score] is unique in both the music and the swordsmanship.
Later there was Shang Yue'er, the 'Yin Ling'.
This girl's life experience was quite miserable. She was originally the daughter of an official, but because her elders violated the king's laws, she was demoted and exiled three thousand miles away.
Unexpectedly, an accident occurred on the way, and the official escorting them, as well as their parents and relatives at home, all died in the accident.
And she herself, under the ups and downs, barely managed to survive.
After meeting in the wind and clouds, he worshiped the Fairy Zhiyue in Xiaoyao Palace and achieved great success.
And like Yan Wenge, she was also good at music, so she got the name "Yin Ling".
These two people may not have the greatest reputations among the scattered people attending the meeting today, but they are probably the ones who are most likely to win over Jiao Jiaowei.
Everyone passed their eyes on these people one by one.
I just want to see how they will act.
After all, things like standing out are not so easy to do.
Those who have not been driven away at this time at least have some understanding of their own situation and will not do such a reckless thing.
Sure enough, just when everyone's eyes were flying around.
Feng Xianzhi of Qifeng Villa had already stood up:
"Young Master Jiang, today we all came uninvited and shamelessly participated in this tea and piano appreciation party.
"But I don't know what the rules of this conference are? Please tell me, Young Master Jiang!"
As soon as this statement came out, many people secretly glanced at each other.
I wonder if this Feng Xianzhi was not hired by Jiang Ran?
Otherwise, why be so polite?
The person who already had a plan in mind rolled his eyes, feeling that Feng Xianzhi was more or less shameless, and that he was willing to be Jiang Ran's lackey.
Jiang Ran smiled:
"Master Feng, please sit down for a moment. I will allow this junior to explain this matter to you slowly."
Feng held the branches in his hands and saluted with his fists, then sat down.
Jiang Ran glanced around, chuckled and said:
"In the past, Feng Huo Lanshan, the world's number one mechanism master, once had twelve of his most proud works.
"People in the world call it the Twelve Heavenly Skills.
"It is said that these twelve days are so ingenious that they contain the essence of the universe.
"The rivers and lakes have existed for thousands of years, and the years are long.
"The twelve days coincidentally gather and disperse at any time, flowing in the rivers and lakes!
"Jiang was lucky enough to get the Jiaowei Qin, one of the twelve ingenuity...
"However, such valuable treasures are naturally coveted by others.
"To be honest, ever since the news of the Jiaowei Qin falling into my hands spread to the world, Jiang has really been unbearable to be disturbed.
“Countless people with unknown origins either robbed openly or secretly, or carried out conspiracy and tricks...
"It's true that Jiang is exhausted from dealing with it."
When he said this, he sighed, his words seemed a little tired, but he smiled again:
"Although Jiang is not talented, how can he hand over such a valuable treasure to these scheming and sneaky people?
"I don't dare to take it for myself easily...
"So, Jiang asked the Sanhe Gang to deliver the news to Jianghu.
"On the eighth day of October, this tea tasting and piano appreciation meeting will be held on the Sunset Ping of Sanxian Mountain!
"The purpose is nothing else...it is to find an owner for this Jiaowei Qin."
When Jiang Ran said this, there was an uproar in the venue.
Although he had known for a long time that Jiang Ran would not hold such a troublesome tea tasting and piano appreciation party without any reason.
But now hearing him say it so clearly, the feeling was different.
For a moment, some people were excited, some were emotional, and some were completely surprised by Jiang Ran's decision.
After all, who would be willing to give up such a valuable treasure to others?
At this moment, a voice shouted:
"May I ask Young Master Jiang, how do you want to choose Jiao Wei's master?"
"The Jiaowei Qin is a Qin, so naturally it cannot fall into the hands of ordinary vulgar warriors.
"So, the first requirement is that the person needs to be proficient in music."
After Jiang Ran said this, most of the people in the venue turned dark.
Good guy, this sentence offended most of the people.
Feng Xizhi subconsciously looked around and found that many people were grinding their teeth.
He couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, and said to his wife:
"Young Master Jiang is right, but look at the reaction of these people..."
"Most people in the world spend their entire lives focusing on martial arts. How many people have free time to chant the wind and the moon?"
Mrs. Feng smiled dumbly:
"However, some are happy and some are sad. Look at Yan Wenge and Shang Yue'er."
Feng Xianzhi heard the words and went to look, and sure enough, he saw that the faces of these two people were full of joy.
They are all famous for their music.
As for those who understand music, of course they do their part.
Jiang Ran's words could be said to have reached their hearts.
But at this moment, Jiang Ran changed the topic again:
"However, in addition to being a harp, the Jiaowei Qin is also one of the Twelve Heavenly Skills.
"There have been rumors since ancient times that there is a big secret hidden inside the Jiaowei Qin.
"If someone can figure out this secret, they can use Jiao Wei Qin.
"Then this piano becomes an excellent weapon.
"The competition for this Qin in the world is mostly for this reason. If you only know music and don't know martial arts, you will inevitably bring disaster to yourself.
"So, the second condition is to have a level of martial arts skills that can defeat all heroes!
“These two conditions are indistinguishable.
"We can first use martial arts to make friends, and then find the one with the best music among the people with the highest martial arts skills.
"As expected, we should be able to choose a Jiaowei Lord who is proficient in music and can protect Jiaowei.
"But I don't know what you think?"
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, the entire venue fell silent.
Those who are proficient in music worry that they are not good at martial arts. They ask themselves that they are good at martial arts, but they know nothing about music.
Isn't it embarrassing for Jiang Ran to make these two demands?
Jiang Ran's two demands are by no means unreasonable.
After all, Jiaowei is indeed a harp... If you don’t understand the music or the harp, why are you robbing Jiaowei?
In the end, even if the secret is really obtained from Jiaowei, he can freely control Jiaowei.
But if you don't know how to play, even if you know how to avoid hurting yourself, what's the use?
Secondly, you only know music but not martial arts, so you can't protect Jiaowei. If you dare to take the piano today, you will die tomorrow.
Everyone present knew this.
Therefore, although Jiang Ran's two conditions were difficult for others to deal with, they were also extremely objective, making it impossible for them to object even if they wanted to.
Feng Xianzhi took a look and saw that no one responded, so he planned to continue to flatter his feet.
He did this willingly.
Feng Wu is their son and therefore their lifeblood.
Jiang Ran is kind to Feng Wu, which means he is kind to his whole family.
There is no way to repay this kindness. Now that there is such an opportunity, how can I let it go?
But before he could speak, someone could already hear someone laughing:
"good!
"Young Master Jiang's words make sense, and we should obey them."
Immediately, many people in the arena who did not understand music or had insufficient martial arts skills glared at the sound.
But when he looked at it, he quickly suppressed the anger in his eyes.
I was afraid that it would be too late and that person would notice...
Just because this person is Yan Wushuang, the vice president of Baizhen Society.
This woman's eyes were long and narrow, with a hidden sparkle in her eyes, and she chuckled:
"What's wrong? Do you think something is wrong?"
"Don't dare."
Everyone shook their heads.
"It's okay if you don't dare."
Yan Wushuang chuckled and looked at Jiang Ran:
"But I don't know whether Jiang Shaoxia plans to compete in martial arts first or discuss music first?"
"If we talk about music first, I'm afraid those with strong martial arts skills will be dissatisfied.
"If we talk about martial arts first, my colleagues who are proficient in music will be very depressed.
“But you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
"Of the two, I can only choose one, so Jiang wanted to give up music first and study martial arts.
"Because no matter what, if you want to protect Jiao Wei in the end, you still have to rely on your own martial arts.
"Those who are just looking forward to competing on the stage and don't know the music should not go on stage."
Jiang Ran spoke softly, stretched out his arms, and looked at an open space in the middle of Sunset Ping, but at this time, the open space was also full of people.
Jiang Ran smiled bitterly:
"Please give me some concessions. This is Jiang's life. It is intended to be used for competitions. It is not used as a grandstand..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people in the arena turned red and they quickly flew up, scattering away like frightened birds in the forest.
"Alright, those of you who believe in music and martial arts can go on stage to fight on your own.
"However, the sword has no eyes and the fists and feet are ruthless. I hope you will be merciful and stop at this point!"
After Jiang Ran said this, he suddenly opened the box with a wave of his hand, and then pulled out his sleeves. Jiaowei Qin immediately jumped out of the box and was firmly held in his palm.
Then he looked around and shook his hands slightly.
The Jiaowei Qin raised its head slightly, and Jiang Ran swept the sleeves of his robe, and the Jiaowei Qin immediately made a clatter and flew straight towards the rock.
"oops!"
Seeing this scene happen, countless people present were frightened and thought that Jiang Ran was insane.
He said it well, but actually he wanted to destroy the Jiaowei Qin in front of everyone, so that everyone would be beaten and no one would care about it!
Someone who is interested wants to stop it, but the burnt tail is like an arrow leaving the string, so how can it be stopped?
Just after hearing the sound of "Duo", Jiaowei was already embedded in the rock wall of the cliff, two and a half inches into the stone. The strings did not tremble or frighten, but did not vibrate at all.
"this……"
There was a sudden gasp of air in the entire venue.
Jiang Ran felt that the air seemed to be a little warmer.
But this group of people never thought that Jiang Ran had such superb martial arts!
With this wave of his hand, the Jiao Wei Qin was driven into the rock wall, as if it were driven into a piece of tofu.
This is by no means as simple as working hard to achieve miracles.
Judging from the fact that the Jiaowei Qin was not damaged at all, Jiang Ran's strength and luck were far superior to most of the people present.
"The burnt tail is right there."
Jiang Ran stretched out his hand and said, "Everyone, please rely on your abilities."
After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and pulled the man in front of the case up: "What did you say?"
The man was stunned: "Let... let me go..."
Jiang Ran looked at the man's face carefully, then stretched out his hand to rub his face, finally shook his head, threw it aside and ignored it.
He sat down on his own, cleaned the teapot and cups on the table, got himself a cup of tea, and got ready to start watching the show.
Then I saw a figure flying into the open space in the field.
After the man landed on the ground, he sat cross-legged, turned one palm, and released his inner strength. Suddenly something flew out from behind, and he reached out to catch it and put it on his knees.
Speak softly:
"This Jiaowei is bound to win, and I won't allow you to offer advice. If you are not afraid of death, feel free to step forward and take action!"
"Yan Wenge!?"
"He actually took action directly?"
"If you can't hold your breath like this, I'm afraid I'm really happy to see you."
Jiang Ran didn't expect that the first person to take action would be Zhuo Qin Yan Wen Ge.
He couldn't help but smile hoarsely: "It's okay, it's better to have an unknown soldier come over and beat him bit by bit. How long will it take to beat him?"
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice laughing:
"Others are afraid of your seven-string score of Yan Wenge, but I'm not afraid!"
During the roar, a slightly short man came across the void.
When he touched the ground with one foot, the ground shook violently.
In an instant, flying sand swept in all directions.
When everyone looked at it carefully, someone suddenly cursed:
"Cripple Sun, do you want shame or not!?"
"That's right, Young Master Jiang has made it very clear that only those who understand music can compete on stage.
"You can't read a single Chinese character, but you can understand a shitty melody!"
"This is simply unreasonable!"
Of course, this Sun Cripple is not his real name. His real name is Sun He.
He has had leg problems since he was a child, making it difficult for him to walk. Although his martial arts practice has made him much better than before, it still cannot be hidden from the eyes of those who care enough to see that there is something wrong with his legs.
Only then was he called "Sun Laizi" by his enemies. Gradually, it became his name.
Sun Laizi looked around and shouted angrily:
"What the fuck are you doing? I've never raised you. How do you know if I'm proficient in music?"
"Yan Wenge, I have long heard that your seven-string score looks like music skills, but is actually swordsmanship.
"I'm here today to ask for advice!"
Yan Wenge frowned slightly and shook his head gently:
"Since you know the temperament well, let me ask you, what are the five tones?"
"...one, two, three, four, five?"
Sun Laizi asked tentatively.
"It's Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu."
Yan Wenge sighed: "But it doesn't matter, you can take action."
Hearing this, Sun Laizi also knew that he was embarrassed. He immediately yelled angrily and spun and rushed. His whole body was like a thin King Kong, carrying the wind and thunder, and went straight to Yan Wenge.
When he saw Yan Wenge, he didn't even raise his head, and just flicked the strings of the piano.
Buzz!
The sound of the piano, like the sound of a sword, suddenly sounded out.
