Chapter 5: The Sound of Heaven

  Three people walked into the music classroom along the passage left by the students.

  "Who is that girl? She's even prettier than our school flower!" The boy stared at Lan Ruoxi with unblinking eyes.

  "I heard he's here for the entrance exam and it seems like he's already passed the written test." Another boy told him what he knew.

  "Oh! But aren't we not supposed to take music exams? Why did she..." asked with a puzzled expression.

  "I'm not very clear about this either." He shrugged his shoulders and shook his head with a puzzled expression.

  "Wait, wait, wait..." came a clear and crisp voice from behind, with an urgent tone.

  He Xiantian hastily squeezed into the crowd with a look of urgency, while Ou Feiyu followed behind her helplessly. This little girl is really impatient!

  Two people have been quarreling every time they meet since their last argument at the embassy over Lan Ruoxue's matter, like arch-enemies from a past life. The more they quarrel, the more they see eye to eye; if they don't quarrel for a day, they feel uncomfortable all over.

  "Hey! Can't you go any faster? You're crawling!"

  "Big sister, what's the hurry? We haven't even started yet." Ou Fei Yu helplessly rolled her eyes.

  "It's a good thing we haven't started yet, or else I'll never be done with you. Hmph!" She stomped her foot and walked away.

  Ou Fei Yu smiled with a sunny smile, gazing at her back with doting eyes. They quarreled when they first met, but gradually discovered that He Tian Tian was the one who truly suited him. Her fiery and straightforward personality was really adorable. After realizing his feelings for He Tian Tian, he slowly understood that his infatuation with Lan Ruo Xue was just a temporary obsession.

  "Add oil! Do well!" He Tian Tian finally squeezed to the front with great difficulty, raised one hand and clenched her fist to cheer her on.

  Lan Ruotong responded with a faint smile, her dark eyes shining with self-confidence.

  "Lan Ruo Xue, this is a music test, are you ready?" Finally got the chance to speak up, Liu Qing Feng's eyes gleamed with some resentment.

  "Alright." He nodded slightly and walked slowly towards the black piano in the center, his slender fingers lightly brushing over the lid. His eyes gradually moistened, what a familiar feeling! Sitting on the chair in front of the piano, he opened the wooden lid and gently caressed the black and white keys.

  It's been ages since I last played the piano, it feels like a century. Gently closing my eyes, my jade-like hands slid onto the keyboard, and my slender fingers danced nimbly on them like mischievous sprites. The soft and moving music gradually led everyone into a wonderful world of sound. The melody was sometimes sorrowful, sometimes sweet, constantly changing. As it entered the development section, it expressed passionate enthusiasm and strong willpower. After entering the expansion section, the inner excitement became even more intense. In the final part, when the surging passion reached its peak, suddenly slow and long notes appeared, only to quickly subside. Following this was an even more violent impact, ultimately ending with two powerful chords that seemed to affirm the triumph of willpower over sorrowful emotions and internal conflicts...

  Lan Ruoxue's hands moved swiftly between black and white. No one noticed the faint glow of the purple jade bracelet on her wrist, as the purple light flowed along her wrist meridian into her arm.

  The sound of music, like a heavenly bell, deeply shocked Liu Qingfeng's calm heart. He looked at her with an incredulous expression, was she really Lan Ruoxue? Even he, who was known as the "Silver Trace" Music Prince by the world, couldn't play such moving and soul-stirring music.

  Janice's bright blue eyes sparkled with excitement, her heart trembling. Oh heavens! What a beautiful melody!

  Everyone present was as if they had entered a dreamy music kingdom, with their eyes dazed. The beautiful music shocked everyone's hearing, cleansing everyone's soul, making people feel reborn...

  At this time, in the distant dark temple, a man was lazily leaning on the couch, his eyebrows like swords, thin and sexy lips tightly pursed, slender eyes closed, perfect contours like sculptures under sunlight radiating a cold jade-like glow, his whole body exuding an icy king's aura.

  His ink-black hair fell to his neck, carrying a sensual temptation, his slender and evil eyes slowly opened, with a hint of excitement in the deep eyes. "Yin'er, my Yin'er, I've waited for you for ten thousand years and finally felt your breath again."

  Until the last note faded away, Lan Ruoxue opened her eyes and stopped playing the guqin. She felt that something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on what it was. There was a feeling that she couldn't verbalize, a sense of something missing that she couldn't explain.

  The crowd slowly woke up, and the sound of the piano still lingered in the air, echoing in everyone's heart.

  "What beautiful music!" The crowd couldn't help but burst into applause.

  "Wow! You're so awesome!" He Xiangxiang excitedly rushed over and hugged her.

  Lan Ruotong stood by the window, gazing at her with a deep and mysterious smile on his lips, then turned and left.

  Janice covered her still-unsettled heart, and her deep, ocean-like eyes shone with excited light.

  Liu Qingfeng suppressed the excitement in his heart, and his eyes were filled with deep thought. He walked to Lan Ruoxue's side, smiled faintly, and stretched out one hand. "Fellow student Lan Ruoxue, congratulations! You've become a member of Feng Shang."

  Lan smiled brightly and raised her hand to shake his. "I'm extremely honored!"
