Chapter 293: A Small Gathering of Six

Ke Qiao looked at Su Yu, "Brother Su, let's go find a place to stay first. The Musical Talent Assembly won't start for another two days."

"It will probably be even livelier here at night. By then, we can find some people to exchange pointers on Musical Talent."

Su Yu nodded, "Alright, let's come out again at night."

Su Yu and Ke Qiao spent a while looking for a place to stay. There were simply too many people, and otherwise, the environments were unsatisfactory. Fortunately, they finally found a place they were relatively satisfied with.

Places here were all called Qin Buildings. The one Su Yu and Ke Qiao came to had a quite nice environment, with a small stream outside, so it wasn't in vain that the two of them had searched for so long.

Su Yu and Ke Qiao arrived downstairs, and as soon as they walked down, they heard the sound of someone playing an instrument.

Sure enough, there was a high platform for playing the zither below, specifically intended for them to go over and play.

Quite a few people were eager to try, but Su Yu and Ke Qiao didn't have that idea for the moment.

They were content just listening from below.

Su Yu and Ke Qiao found a spot to sit down, and the two of them ordered some wine and appetizers.

The spot they chose was also quite good. The structure of this pavilion wasn't like the traditional ones with windows.

Instead, it was the type that extended outwards, where every spot had an independent space, similar to a balcony.

Su Yu looked out at the bamboo forest and the small stream, as well as the fine wine before him and the playing of people in different areas.

Such a scene was truly relaxing; for him, this Zither cultivator assembly was quite enjoyable.

After resting for a while, Su Yu and Ke Qiao prepared to head out.

The outside was only lively at night, and the two of them couldn't miss it. It could be said that this place had an even deeper Concept at night.

Su Yu and Ke Qiao went out and began to stroll along with the flow of the crowd.

Walking on the road, Su Yu looked at everything around him. It truly had a deep Concept—the lanterns, the flower boats, the stream—the beauty that was born at night.

In this tranquil bamboo forest, it was amplified infinitely.

Ke Qiao watched as the people around them began to communicate happily.

Ke Qiao then said, "Brother Su, let's go join in the fun too. We can broaden our horizons and meet some friends from other regions."

Su Yu nodded, "Alright, no problem."

While speaking, Ke Qiao led Su Yu to start scouting the crowd to see which small gatherings they could join.

Ke Qiao wanted to be selective, while Su Yu didn't really care. As for Ke Qiao's purpose, Su Yu had guessed it, but Su Yu didn't mind; the two were quite good friends.

Soon, Ke Qiao selected a small gathering that currently only had four people.

Su Yu looked at the candidates Ke Qiao had selected: four people, two men and two women.

Those two women were quite outstanding in appearance with good figures; they looked like Young Misses from some Family, and their temperaments were also very quiet and elegant.

But in reality, this kind of appearance was quite common within the Qin-yin Forest this time.

People with outstanding looks could be seen everywhere here.

There were quite a few even more outstanding people, but Ke Qiao understood in his heart that it would be very difficult for him and Su Yu to blend in with those people, so he wouldn't go looking for trouble. They were here to enjoy themselves, not to suffer.

Su Yu smiled and shook his head; Brother Ke certainly knew how to pick people.

Ke Qiao brought Su Yu to the front of the four people.

"Excuse me, everyone. We two would like to join your small gathering to exchange pointers on Musical Talent, is that alright? I see that you all play very well."

The four smiled and said, "Of course you can. This assembly can be considered a grand event for us Zither cultivators; we can exchange Musical Talent with different people to make up for our own deficiencies."

Ke Qiao smiled upon hearing this, "I am Ke Qiao, please treat me well."

Su Yu also nodded and said, "I am Su Yu, thank you for having us."

The four of them also introduced themselves.

The four were named Wang Han, Yu Liang, Pan Xiao, and Huang Yun.

Wang Han and the others looked at Su Yu, "By the way, where are you two from?"

Su Yu replied, "We are both from the Profound Heaven Sect."

The four were slightly surprised, "Profound Heaven Sect? Brother Su, I didn't expect you to be from the Profound Heaven Sect. That is truly impressive."

Everyone was clear about what the Profound Heaven Sect represented nowadays. The two people before them were definitely not the type who had just joined the Profound Heaven Sect.

These two were likely figures who had survived the War between Immortals and Demons.

"Brother Su, Brother Ke, you two are truly impressive. The Profound Heaven Sect is now the faith of many people in the Southern Region."

Su Yu and the other waved their hands dismissively.

One of these four came from a Sect, though certainly not one of the Eight Great Sects.

There were also two from a Family, and one was a Loose Cultivator.

Just like that, these six people gathered together.

After the six of them got familiar with each other, Su Yu and the others prepared to pick a better place to exchange Musical Talent together.

Along the way, the six of them talked about things related to Musical Talent and some things they were proficient in.

The six of them chatted and laughed as they searched for a suitable place.

Soon, Su Yu and the others found a place that satisfied them.

Ke Qiao saw it and said, "This is the one. The environment is good, and it's quiet around here too."

The others had no objections.

Seeing that there were no objections, Ke Qiao took the zither off his back and began to set it up.

The others also began to take out their own zithers.

Su Yu also took out the sunset clouds zither and set it up. On the surface, the grade of the six people's zithers was about the same.

As all six of them had set up, the six-person Musical Talent gathering began.

At this moment, at the entrance of the Qin-yin Forest, Ling Wanqing looked at the Qin-yin Forest ahead and walked in.

Ling Wanqing, of course, had heard of this assembly. She had originally come to seek an opportunity, so naturally, Ling Wanqing would not miss this assembly.

Fortunately, she had arrived before the assembly started; previously, she had been in a Secret Realm.

Ling Wanqing walked into the Qin-yin Forest. Everything around made Ling Wanqing feel very comfortable; such environments were already rare.

Ling Wanqing was not in a hurry; she wanted to walk around in this Qin-yin Forest first and see everything here.

Ling Wanqing did not intend to participate in that competition by coming here; the prize for first place was of no use to her.

She was just here to gain some insights, enrich her knowledge, and accumulate more Concept.

Ling Wanqing listened to the surrounding zither music and strolled through the Qin-yin Forest.

Occasionally, she would also stop by some vendors to purchase some zither scores.

On Su Yu's side, the six-person gathering was about to end after some time of exchange.

The other four decided to go back and rest for a while, so Su Yu and the other parted ways with them.

Ke Qiao had quite a few insights from this small gathering.

Ke Qiao sighed with emotion, "One really must participate in these small gatherings; there was quite a lot to be gained from just this one."

"Brother Su, let's go back first too, and come out again tomorrow."

Su Yu nodded.

Su Yu and Ke Qiao prepared to return to the Qin Building they had been at earlier.

Just at this moment, Su Yu spotted someone.

Ke Qiao also noticed it.

Ke Qiao hurriedly said, "Long time no see, I didn't expect to run into you here."
