Chapter 764: Charge to the Next Building
The biggest event in the City of Azure Waves today was, without a doubt, Miss Xue’s concert.
It was what people called a citywide sensation.
As the Kingdom of the Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon, this nation had an unparalleled passion for dance and music, a love that extended from the highest nobles to the common folk. The South Melody Conservatory, revered as the holy land of music across the nine provinces, was held in especially high regard here. Though disciples of the South Melody Conservatory had never traveled eastward to this land before, every year during the grand selection of the head disciple of the South Melody Conservatory, thousands from the Fuyao Kingdom would journey across the seas to the Yu Dynasty, just to cheer for their favorites.
Now, with Xue Lingxue making her first-ever appearance in the Fuyao Kingdom, the Flower Pavilion, which hosted the event, had gone to great lengths to accommodate the audience. They tore down the surrounding walls, leaving only support pillars. They even purchased and demolished more than a dozen nearby buildings to ensure that the performance could be seen by more people.
Such a massive event was rare in the entire history of the Fuyao Kingdom.
"Didn't expect to be this popular here, did you?" Chu Liang said as he looked at Xue Lingxue with a smile while being seated on a balcony on a rooftop.
As cultivators, their keen senses far surpassed those of ordinary people, so there was no need for them to squeeze into the dense crowd. They could easily see the performance in the Flower Pavilion from the surrounding buildings.
Meanwhile, across from them, a towering building was already surrounded by over a hundred saber-wielding and armored guards. In a short while, the King of the Fuyao Kingdom would arrive there to watch the performance. For the past few years, the king had remained in seclusion, rarely appearing in public. The fact that he showed up for this event was proof of his deep admiration for Xue Lingxue.
With her face veiled in white cloth, Xue Lingxue spoke softly, "I never knew the Fuyao Kingdom held such a refined appreciation for music. I should speak with the Conservatory Master about arranging more performances here in the future."
"That would be wonderful," replied Hu Sanlang, his face concealed beneath a black hood. "The people of Fuyao Kingdom have long admired the music and dance of the South Melody Conservatory."
"The same goes for Mount Shu," Lin Bei added, nodding in agreement.
