My Synthesizer Has Talent

"Then why isn’t Su Qing using one?" Bai Di asked, stunned.

Su Qing was already lying in a game pod.

Bai Di didn’t want to do it this way.

"Su Qing can restrain his power. Can you?"

"I told you, it’s more fun with an ordinary clone,"

Zhu Yuan said helplessly.

Her clone had also lain down to play.

Resigned, Bai Di had no choice but to play along.

Bai Di also created an ordinary clone of himself.

Then he got into the game pod.

...

...

「One month later.」

「Taichu Daoist Palace.」

"Who would have thought? Playing the game with an ordinary clone is actually this difficult."

"I felt like my reactions should have been faster, but I just couldn’t execute the moves," Bai Di said, appearing outside the Taichu Daoist Palace.

He was speaking with an excited look on his face.

He had been reluctant at first, but now he loved playing the game this way.

It was difficult.

But he had succeeded in the challenge.

The feeling of the four of them coordinating was what made it truly fun.

"You’re still thinking about games?"

"We’ve already beaten plenty of them."

"It’s time for Cultivation."

Su Qing said with a smile.

He noticed some living beings in the vicinity were watching him.

But he didn’t know why.

Moreover, the White Cloak he wore just loved to drape itself over him.

Even if Su Qing took it off, it would reappear on him after just a few steps.

Su Qing was helpless.

Zhu Yuan had already left the Taichu Daoist Palace.

She said she was going off to cultivate.

They all knew perfectly well that she was going to the Star Sea Tree to cultivate.

But the three of them weren’t overly jealous.

Nor did they let on that they knew Zhu Yuan had gone to the Star Sea Tree.

In the Taichu Daoist Palace,

the three of them walked and chatted together.

"I’m heading back. Bai Di, Yu Hu."

Su Qing took out two jars of Bell Music Immortal Brew and gave one to each of them.

"This brew... I saw you two drinking it before."

"I was quite curious about it." Bai Di accepted it with a smile.

Yu Hu also accepted it without any politeness.

"Su Qing, I’ll find some precious seeds for you."

Just as Su Qing was about to enter his own world, Bai Di suddenly spoke up.

Su Qing looked at Bai Di.

His face was incredibly serious and earnest.

Su Qing chuckled lightly. "No need. Those seeds aren’t very useful to me. You should focus on your Cultivation."

"Yu Hu, even though you have a child now, you need to cultivate properly too."

After offering this piece of advice, Su Qing entered his own world.

Bai Di and Yu Hu exchanged a look.

They smiled at each other in tacit understanding, then vanished.

...

「Meanwhile.」

The moment Su Qing stepped into his own world,

he felt as if he had walked into the wrong one.

As far as the eye could see,

there was a vast expanse of red.

Among the many flowers and plants,

an extremely vibrant red had sprouted.

Su Qing’s heart trembled.

He was a little scared.

’It’s not Black Abyss again, is it?’

Su Qing swallowed and looked at the White Cloak he was wearing.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

At least this Standardization could help him avoid a lot of trouble.

"Xiaoqing."

Su Qing called out to Xiaoqing in the distance.

Xiaoqing flew over at high speed.

"Master," Xiaoqing said, its voice cheerful as it arrived.

Su Qing calmed himself slightly. "These red flowers, when did they start to grow?"

"Sometime in the last month, I think?"

"What’s wrong?"

"Didn’t you plant these, Master?" Xiaoqing asked, confused.

Although the large patch of red flowers was a bit unsettling to look at, Xiaoqing had already gotten used to the sight.

It had become accustomed to them.

They were blood-red Other Shore Flowers.

If it were Su Qing,

he would never get used to them.

They were too conspicuous.

And they possessed a strange quality that made Su Qing deeply uncomfortable.

He constantly felt like Black Abyss was right beside him.

Who could stand that?

In any case, Su Qing couldn’t.

"I didn’t plant these flowers."

Su Qing felt helpless.

’It seems Black Abyss knows my Flame Mark has been removed.’

’It’s probably because of this White Cloak.’

Su Qing sensed his surroundings.

He found no trace of Black Abyss’s aura nearby.

He deployed his Soul Power completely.

Then, he used the Authority of Space-Time from his soul.

Time Stop.

Then, the blood-red Other Shore Flowers,

in an instant,

were all uprooted.

He was just that cautious.

And just that bold.

Su Qing was determined to pull out these Other Shore Flowers.

’If I leave them, what if Black Abyss suddenly pops out?’

So, it was better to clear them all out.

Fortunately, after he finished,

no Black Abyss popped out.

’That was terrifying,’

Su Qing thought.

Then Su Qing spoke again, "Star Race, get out here."

"If you don’t come out, I’ll stop sending you the Power of the Stars."

Su Qing’s little threat

finally forced the little one out.

Xing Zhu was furious. "What do you want?"

"I’m asking you, does Black Abyss know me?"

"From the beginning, you told me I was Black Abyss’s little paramour?"

"What does that mean?"

Su Qing wanted an answer right now.

Xing Zhu couldn’t help but look at Su Qing, then at the White Cloak he wore.

"Since you want to know so badly..."

"...then I’ll be merciful and tell you."

Xing Zhu said curiously, "As it happens, the way you look now is pretty much the same as in her photo."

Then,

the Power of the Stars continuously materialized in Xing Zhu’s hands,

forming the phantom image of a picture frame.

It looked to be in perfect condition.

In the frame was none other than Su Qing, smiling as he posed for a photo with a little girl. Su Qing was squatting down to be in the shot with her.

Both of them were smiling happily.

"..."

Su Qing fell silent.

The little girl looked ninety percent like a young Su Shang.

But she didn’t have a mark between her brows.

And the little girl in the frame seemed very happy.

The most important part was the detail.

In the picture frame, Su Qing was wearing the exact same White Cloak he had on now.

It was too similar.

But Su Qing knew he had never had such an experience.

Yet the person in the frame...

looked so much like Su Qing that he himself was stunned just looking at it.

Then, an idea occurred to Su Qing, and he glared fiercely at Xing Zhu.

"You’re not trying to trick me, are you?"

"How could I possibly have taken a photo like that?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I found it in her secret base."

"She even punished me for it. Why else do you think I came looking for you?"

"You little paramour, hurry up and go find Black Abyss."

"She’s thinking of you right now, you know."

"Bah!" Su Qing was furious. What did any of this have to do with him?

’Even if it were my reincarnation, I could accept that.’

’But I’m a transmigrator! My past life wasn’t even in this Great Thousand World.’

Su Qing wasn’t falling for this.

’Could it be that when I became Dao Companions with Su Hongshang,’

’Black Abyss was meddling behind the scenes?’

’But I didn’t look like this at the start!’

’At first, I was short and incredibly ugly. If I hadn’t transmigrated,’

’and gotten a Golden Finger,’

’how could I have turned out like this?’

’Besides, I’ve remolded my physical body several times.’

’My body has long since adapted to the state of my soul.’

’It has already transformed.’

’So, it’s impossible for a past life or reincarnation of mine to exist in this world.’

’What the hell.’

’Someone’s impersonating me!’

Su Qing was fuming internally.

’It’s one thing to impersonate me, but to do it when that powerful figure was young...’

’And wearing a White Cloak, no less.’

’Now I’ll never be able to clear my name.’

Su Qing sulked off to the side.

But Xing Zhu came over to console him. "You’re mad that Black Abyss has taken a liking to you?"

"And you’re upset about it? I really don’t get what you’re thinking."

"That’s *Black Abyss* we’re talking about~"

"If I were you, I’d stick to her like glue," Xing Zhu said with envy.

And that was the difference between Xing Zhu and Su Qing.

’Transmigrating and getting a Golden Finger already put me on the path to invincibility.’

’What need is there to gain Black Abyss’s affection?’

Su Qing would rather have no karmic ties with her at all.

Black Abyss was too mysterious, which made Su Qing a little afraid to get involved with her.

He feared that among powerhouses of her caliber, there might be one who could control fate itself.
