Everyone's eyes were drawn to the corner, where a young man wearing a cloth robe with disheveled hair slowly stood up.
I saw that he had bright eyebrows and a long body. In terms of appearance alone, he was not inferior to Ji Yi.
It's just that this person doesn't pay attention to dressing up, and his clothes look very casual and contemptible. Perhaps because of this, he reveals a cynical and suave look.
An old man at the head wearing a turban and a singlet frowned and said, "Which family are you a disciple of? Why are you dressed so rudely?"
"Did anyone say that you must be from a well-known family and be well-dressed to participate in this competition?" He looked directly at the old man without fear and said calmly.
"Although I haven't said it yet, how can such an elegant thing be allowed to allow a disheveled person to enter!" Seeing that he dared to retort, the old man frowned and looked at Fang Yuan, "Why did you invite such a disrespectful person? Disrespectful people!"
Fang Yuan was dissatisfied when he heard the old man's unkind words. However, this man came from a family of law and Taoism and had a high status. He usually used his seniority to suppress others, so there was nothing he could do.
Fang Yuan could only look at the young man and asked, "I wonder where you got the invitation from?"
The young man laughed and said, "The surname of a certain family is Wang Mingheng, who is a non-sect cultivator. As for this invitation, I won it a few days ago. I don't think there is a name on this invitation. Could it be that it cannot be used?" "
"Won it?" Fang Yuan's expression changed and he said, "Could it be that you are the flute player who didn't show up the day before yesterday?"
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this, and people who didn't know why asked questions one after another.
Someone said: "Three days ago, we were discussing mysteries and piano in the music hall, and there was also a small competition. Brother Guo Dao from Jiuwei Mountain originally won the first place, but suddenly there was a flute sound, and Guo Dao was the winner. Brother, the man didn't say anything else, he just asked Brother Guo to leave today's invitation."
"Oh, being able to defeat Jiuweishan's True Inheritance, doesn't it mean that his strength in law is extraordinary?"
"Hmph! So what if this guy has some talent?" The old man snorted coldly, "The one I'm waiting to choose is Miss Fang's collaborator. A wild boy from a non-aristocratic family, what qualifications do he have!"
Wang Heng smiled disapprovingly and said: "I originally thought that this meeting was just for having fun and meeting friends. I didn't want to consider status. If so, why not go directly to that family to recruit a wife? Why talk about the world's outstanding figures in law and order?"
Although the East China Sea is not as hierarchical and orderly as in the Middle Earth, and the poor families of the aristocratic families are as if they are separated from each other, there are still common people, especially those invited by Fang Yuan today are all the children of various immortal families. For serious.
Even though he knew that this person was indeed talented in law, his expression was still very complicated.
"You are a sharp-tongued junior." The old man at the head was still unwilling to give up. "For those who are not from aristocratic families, how can they truly understand the principles of happiness? They just secretly learned some simple skills somewhere. How can they reach the level of elegance?" Tang, would you like to talk with us?"
Wang Heng glanced at him and said indifferently: "If you go by what I said, then Fan Xiang of Shangqing was just a young boy from the countryside at the beginning, not from a noble family. Do you dare to say this to him face to face?"
The old man flicked his sleeves and said, "Shuzi is good at debating. I'm talking about music. What are you doing with Fan Xiang?"
Although in his heart, he looked down on Fan Xiang, who was a mud-legged person, he believed that such mortals, even if they had extraordinary talents, were only worthy of being slaves and maidservants who were direct descendants of noble families.
But he is not stupid, and he certainly would not dare to say such outrageous remarks in public, otherwise, let alone himself, the family behind him will be chopped to pieces by the Sword of the Supreme Purity.
If it weren't for the Shangqing Sect, Shenxiao Sect, Wanfa Sect, and Yuquan Mountain, which are top-notch immortal sects with long heritage, the family's troubles would have swept across the entire East China Sea.
Especially for the slightly smaller middle and lower sects, such as the Qingmu Sect and the Taihao Sect, the Nuo Da Xian Sect with wide open doors has already become the private property of several aristocratic families.
Even in some sea areas, the concept of sect is weak, and the cultivation of aristocratic families is the foundation.
In this way, the bloodline view is extremely serious. Only people from aristocratic families have first-class cultivation resources and cultivation classics. No matter how talented you are, it will never be possible to get ahead without clinging to a noble family.
This is also the reason why these dim-witted old men from aristocratic families think so highly of themselves.
In his world, those with higher qualifications than him but lower status are just his servants and attendants, and they have never been able to reach the level of elegance.
At this time, it is not difficult to understand his contempt for Wang Heng and his flattery for Ji Yi.
The latter was from an aristocratic family, the one with the most distinguished status and bloodline in the earthly immortal world. To this old man, he even spoke with more authority than his old father.
While there was a lot of discussion, Ji Yi stood up and said, "Since Brother Wang wants to compete, he cannot stop him. The art of music and temperament was created by our ancestors. Although it is passed down to aristocratic families, it is not forbidden for those who are not from the aristocratic family." Let’s study it!”
After Ji Yi finished speaking, many disciples of the aristocratic family commented: "Brother Ji is indeed a disciple of Jishui. He is so magnanimous and does not care about family status. It really makes us ashamed."
Wang Heng glanced at the people who were speaking, and said coldly: "I won this invitation. According to the rules, I am naturally qualified to compete. It is not a charity from your master."
The people who spoke were all gentle and elegant disciples of aristocratic families. They might have done all kinds of evil in normal times, but at this moment, in front of everyone, every move must be in compliance with the etiquette. It was difficult for them to refute with some dirty words, so they had to blush and hold it in for a long time. Only then did he say: "Ignorant person!"
Wang Heng, however, did not even look at these people. Instead, he looked at Fang Yuan and said, "Then shall we start now?"
Fang Yuan shook his head and said: "My level of law is far inferior to that of Brother Ji. Anyway, in the end, only one person is selected, so how about you and Brother Ji compete to win?"
Ji Yi smiled indifferently and said: "Of course I have no problem. If you want to cooperate with Fairy Fang, how can you be afraid of the challenge!"
After saying that, he took out the Cuixiao Queyue again, and while stroking the flute body, he said: "If Queyue hadn't been with me for a long time, Ji wouldn't have taken advantage of this instrument, but a certain family will try their best. Suppress it to the magical weapon level."
Such a noble and honorable move made the people holding him climax directly.
Wang Heng, however, still looked carefree and unaffected at all. He took out an ordinary bamboo flute and said: "An ordinary green bamboo flute, if a certain family can suppress one or two, it is enough to play music."
The naked mockery made everyone immediately excited.
Fang Yuan saw the situation a little out of control and said quickly: "Since you two are ready, the first song will be Yangchun Baixue!"
When Tang Yuan heard this, he looked at Yan Cai with playful eyes and said with a smile: "This disciple of Guizong is quite interesting!"
Yan Cai calmly replied: "The Fang family has a sect called Sanyin God. It is also the mainstay in the pavilion. The disciples in its clan are naturally extraordinary."
