Just Wanting to Live a Good Life But Surpassing the Protagonist – 47 Come Help
“I believe you, my ass!” Liang Xiaorou rolled her eyes at Ye Yong. “If you have the ability, play a piece of music for me.”
“Then what instrument would Senior Sister Liang like to hear?”
Seeing Ye Yong so calm, Liang Xiaorou became a bit puzzled. Could it be that he really knew?
“Flute, Xiao, Guzheng, anything is fine.”
Normally, the Music and Art Hall requires musical instruments, so Ye Yonggang figured he might as well buy one.
With his professional knowledge, he was proficient in all musical instruments, but considering the female lead of the Music and Art Hall, he chose the flute.
A Profound Level 5 flute wasn’t expensive, only costing three hundred Reversal Points.
Taking out the brand-new flute, Ye Yong saw that everyone’s attention was on him, and he couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Pretending to be awesome comes naturally to me.
“Whew~” A long, clear flute sound came out. Having mastered the entire book of musical theory, Ye Yong could play beautiful melodies without sheet music.
In the vast valley, only the sound of the flute lingered.
Ye Yong closed his eyes, his long black hair and white robe contrasting sharply, fluttering in the evening breeze.
At first, he was just testing the waters, but soon Ye Yong tried to add spiritual energy to the sound of the flute. The originally beautiful flute sound seemed to be enchanted.
It cleansed the soul.
If there were a mortal murderer who had killed many lives present at this moment, he would put down the butcher knife, burst into tears, and repent his sins.
This was because Ye Yong’s cultivation was not yet proficient. If he were stronger, even cultivators could be affected.
Musical theory was that magical. Perhaps it didn’t have obvious attack power, but it could stir the emotions of living beings. If he were to play a war song on the battlefield, he could completely boost the morale and strength of his own side .

Long Tian listened from behind the crowd, feeling very calm. If he were to enlightenment now, perhaps his speed would increase.
The old immortal in the jade pendant also praised, ‘Not bad, not bad, there’s already a hint of the charm of the Great Dao. I didn’t expect a Foundation Establishment cultivator to be able to play such a flute sound. It’s truly rare. It seems that he has an extremely high talent for music.’
‘He’s really amazing.’ Long Tian couldn’t help but sigh.
They were both 18 years old, but Ye Yong was at the tenth level of Foundation Establishment, with a Seven-Colored Foundation Establishment. He had received praise from the experienced old immortal, and he came from a prominent family.
With so many excellent qualities combined, Long Tian couldn’t help but feel envious. However, he didn’t feel inferior because he had the old immortal and his own talent. He believed that he would definitely be able to catch up to Ye Yong in the future, or even surpass him.
If Ye Yong could know Long Tian’s inner thoughts at this moment, he would definitely sigh that this was the self-cultivation of the Son of Destiny, the protagonist.
———
After the song ended, Ye Yong opened his eyes. His gaze was deep, like a mysterious starry sky, and when paired with that handsome face of a female killer, the female cultivators around him were almost driven mad.
Awesome! So awesome! Damn awesome!
Ye Yong’s heart was beating fast. Without a doubt, he had successfully pretended to be awesome once again.
Despite the ecstasy in his heart, Ye Yong’s outward appearance was still one of basic operation, an indifferent look that was not worth mentioning. He looked at Liang Xiaorou, who was stunned, and asked, “Senior Sister Liang, how was it?”
“Sea, starfish.”
You’re so shocked that even the tone of your speech has changed. Is this still considered average?
However, Ye Yong liked to see the other party act tough. A Jiaoao loli, how cute?
“There shouldn’t be a problem with me joining the Music and Art Hall, right?” Ye Yong asked again.
“Barely, but I still suggest you join the Sword Pavilion Hall. Male cultivators who want to join the Music and Art Hall still need to pass the hall master’s assessment. As for the content of the assessment, you’re very likely to embarrass yourself.”
“Yes, yes, Young Master Ye, come to the Sword Pavilion Hall.” The new female cultivators who had already joined the Sword Pavilion Hall spoke one after another.
“No!” How could the female cultivators of the Music and Art Hall be willing? But she was alone. Being stared at by so many people, she didn’t have much confidence when she spoke: “You, you’re very talented . Coming to the Music and Art Hall will definitely allow you to reach a higher level of attainment in music. As for the assessment, I can apply to the hall master to exempt you from it.”
“There’s no need for that. I will use my strength to prove that I have the qualifications to join the Music and Art Hall.” After Ye Yong finished speaking, the female cultivator was stunned.
So confident and handsome! She must make him a junior brother of the Music and Art Hall!
Before she could say anything to Ye Yong, a group of female cultivators rushed to join the Music and Art Hall. She was directly overwhelmed by the crowd and hurriedly took out a sound transmission stone to ask for help from the hall.
——Music and Art Hall
Compared to other halls with hundreds or thousands of people, the Music and Art Hall only had less than a hundred cultivators, and they were all female cultivators.
Because there hadn’t been any new members for several sessions, the weakest of them were at the Crystallization stage, and the strongest were at the Golden Core stage.
The age of a cultivator didn’t represent anything. Although the female cultivators of the Music and Art Hall had an average age of over 50, in reality, they were no different from mortal women in their early 20s. Moreover, each and every one of them had their own merits. Therefore, the Music and Art Hall was also known as the place that male cultivators yearned for the most.
“Xiao Xiao said that many new disciples are rushing to join our Music and Art Hall. I wonder if they’ve gone crazy from reading books.” A female cultivator at the eighth level of the Golden Core stage with excellent looks put down the sound transmission stone and shook her head with a sigh.
When cultivators reach a certain level, they no longer need to sleep and can cultivate through meditation alone.
Today just so happened to be the monthly music and painting exchange of the Yinhua Hall, so almost everyone was present.
“Sigh, I wonder who the newbie is that we’ll bully today.” A female Crystal Transformation cultivator lazily laid on the table.
“Why are there so few cultivators who are talented in both music and painting?” Another female cultivator sighed.
At this moment, the sound transmission stone lit up again. The female Golden Core cultivator who had spoken first picked it up impatiently. “Xiaoxiao, come here quickly, stop daydreaming.”
“Senior Sister Bai! I’m not daydreaming! I’m about to be crushed to death! Come and help me! If you don’t come soon, you can collect my body!” Xiaoxiao’s cries came from the sound transmission stone.
“You all heard that.” The female cultivator put down the sound transmission stone. She had just activated the loudspeaker function. “Just find two people to carry her here.”
No one wanted to do such a troublesome task, so the two lowest-level Crystal Transformation Stage female cultivators ‘volunteered’ to go.
About half an incense stick’s worth of time after the two female cultivators went out, the sound transmission stone lit up again. Apart from Xiaoxiao, there were also the voices of the two female cultivators.
A thousand words could be summed up in one sentence, which was: “Come and help!!!”
“What happened?” If one person had been reading a book and had become foolish, it wouldn’t have made sense for two more people to become foolish as well, right?
“Hey, look.”
So, the female cultivators of the Yinhua Hall went out, looking like a group of fairies descending to the mortal world.
When they arrived at the empty valley where the newbie was, they discovered that at least a thousand female cultivators were crowded there, with a number of male cultivators with impure motives behind them.
“Although we called you to come and help, there are too many of you here!” Lu Xiaoxiao, the quiet female cultivator who had registered Ye Yongjin into the hall, wiped the sweat off her pretty face. She had forgotten how long it had been since she had last sweated.
“What’s the situation?” The female cultivator with the highest cultivation level, a Golden Core Stage Level Eight cultivator, asked with a face full of doubt. “Do they all want to join the Yinhua Hall?”
“Yes.”
“Are the newbies these days all fools?” As these words left her mouth, it was as if she herself had been a fool to join the Yinhua Hall. She quickly reacted. “Cough! Regardless of whether it’s music or painting, one needs to persevere. We don’t want those who are just excited about something new.”
“That’s right.” The other female cultivators nodded. They were indeed eager for new members, but they didn’t want to ruin their futures. The path of music and painting was difficult.
However, seeing that the crowd did not disperse, and that they seemed like they wouldn’t give up easily, the female cultivators of the Yinhua Hall worked together and organized something that resembled a competition audition.
“Those who want to join, come over here and demonstrate your musical and painting talents. Only those who pass will be eligible to join.”
