Chapter 307 Xinghe Qin

The first dance at the reception has extraordinary symbolic meaning. Avril blushed and walked towards Xia Fei. This was a kind of courage. She dared to invite the unknown Xia Fei to dance in public. Even a fool could see Avril's thoughts. .

This would expose himself and Xia Fei to the attention of the entire alliance. Although some people in the circle had already gotten the news, no one was sure whether the daughter of the Jian family was really motivated.

After tomorrow, the gossip about Avril and Xia Fei will spread throughout the alliance. Due to the disparity in status between the two, those rumors will probably follow one after another. Xia Fei will just give it up. Avril is a young girl after all, and she will be able to bear it when the time comes. Can you survive the rumors spreading like a storm?

Xia Fei shook his head and put away his random thoughts. What should come will always come. Now that Avril has decided, all he can do is stay with her and comfort her.

Thinking of this, Xia Fei raised his head and curled up the corner of his mouth. He planned to face all the rumors in the world calmly. As long as Avril was happy, Xia Fei would not care about what other people thought.

Avril's father Newman frowned and stopped Avril and whispered in her ear: "Have you really decided? Grandpa asked you to dance the first dance with Li Mo."

Avril looked at Li Mo, whose face was livid in the crowd, and then at Xia Fei, who was smiling at her, and then walked to Xia Fei's side with light steps.

Avril stretched out a hand to Xia Fei. Her crystal-clear fingers were like the most exquisite works of art. The hand was trembling slightly. Xia Fei gently supported her and treated her with standard male etiquette. The two of them walked onto the dance floor. Dance to melodious music.

People were shocked. Avril Lavigne's dance partner turned out to be an unknown person. Many people were shocked and quietly asked about the gossip about Xia Fei. The shock caused by him and Tai entering the room to have a secret chat had not dissipated yet. Then he became Avril Lavigne's dance partner again. People can't help but have a lot of doubts and associations.

Nicole's eyes looked very complicated. She squeezed the wine glass in her hand, lowered her eyes, and looked at the pink scar on her wrist intentionally or unintentionally, and whispered to herself: "This is not fair, this unfair…"

"Our first-class supplier seems to have a good relationship with the Jian family, right?" Tai asked with a frown.

Williamson smiled slightly, "This is a good thing. Weren't you worried that his company would not be able to supply goods to the military before? Now it seems that at least Xia Fei still has some connections, and developing connections in the alliance is also a necessary condition. one."

Marta, the Minister of the Arbiter Union, was also shocked. He had known about the relationship between Xia Fei and Qin Mang for a long time. As one of Qin Mang's opponents in the Arbitrator Union, Marta had never had any good feelings towards Xia Fei. Now she saw it with her own eyes. The relationship between Xia Fei and Avril made him secretly unhappy for a while.

Not to mention those young people who admired Avril, Xia Fei did not belong to this circle. Seeing their dreams shattered by the unknown Xia Fei, the jealousy and envy in these people's hearts was simply beyond words.

Of course, the one who hated Xia Fei the most was undoubtedly Mr. Li Mo. Looking at Xia Fei and Avril Li Mo on the dance floor, they felt blood boiling in their chests, their eyes went white, and they almost fainted.

The golden finger cup that he was about to get flew away because of Xia Fei, and even Avril was getting closer and closer to Xia Fei. These were all things Li Mo couldn't bear.

From childhood to adulthood, Li Mo grew up surrounded by praises, a superior environment, and a rich family, all of which Xia Fei did not have. However, such a handsome young master was defeated by the little man Xia Fei. fly? Li Mo will never accept this humiliating ending.

Turning around, Li Mo wanted to leave.

A firm hand held him.

Li Mo turned around and saw his father Li Guanzheng staring at him coldly.

"Where are you going?"

"I...I don't want to stay here." Li Mo stammered.

An evil smile appeared on Li Guan's lips, and he said solemnly: "Are you afraid of this? Are you going to admit defeat?"

Li Mo lowered his head and said nothing. What else could he say now that things had come to this?

Li Mo, who grew up in a mansion, is different from Xia Fei. The superior life caused him to lose the most primitive instinct of human beings.

For Avril, Xia Fei dared to risk his own life without hesitation

But at the moment, Li Mo only wanted to find comfort in the gentle village. Not to mention fighting for his life, Li Mo didn't even dare to fight for wine.

Just like weeds growing in the wild and flowers cultivated in a greenhouse, the two are completely different in temperament.

"Idiot, this little blow will make you lose your mind. How can you achieve great things in the future?" Li Guan said angrily. He rarely scolded his precious son, but Li Mo's performance today really disappointed him. How could he look like a bloody man?

"I told you, our Li family was born as butchers, and our hands are stained with blood. Whenever someone steps on us, we must step back ten times. This is the family tradition of the Li family."

Li Mo nodded mechanically. He was at the cocktail party, but his thoughts were already going somewhere.

"Stand here and watch, today I'm going to let you see what the Li family's skills are," Li Guan said in a deep voice.

Li Mo was startled. Could it be that his father was going to take action himself today?

He was like a helpless child who saw the sun in a jungle full of dangers, and suddenly felt full of hope.

"This is just the beginning. Anyone who dares to offend my Li family will never end well." Li Guan said fiercely, with a fierce look in his eyes.

When the song ended, Avril took Xia Fei's arm and walked calmly down the dance floor.

The people around were dumbfounded and even forgot to applaud and congratulate each other.

bang bang bang bang

Thuram was the first to laugh and applaud, followed closely by the three military giants.

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and the crowd burst into warm applause.

"You danced very well just now." Avril said.

Xia Fei smiled and said, "I have only learned to dance for a few days, and I was very afraid of stepping on your feet before I went on stage. Fortunately, I got over it."

Avril put her face on Xia Fei's arm, looking extremely intimate.

Xia Fei knew that she was doing it deliberately for everyone to see. There was no doubt that Avril had already made up her mind to make the matter between herself and Xia Fei known to the whole city. Considering that Sean would rather Avril and Li More than anything else, Avril Lavigne's approach was more like a silent protest.

"You should go over there." Avril said.

Xia Fei followed Avril's gaze and saw that Sean was surrounded by dozens of guests. These people were undoubtedly of higher status, including the three giants of the military and Thuram of the Arbitrator Union.

"I'll just accompany you. I'm not interested in their topic." Xia Fei said.

Avril's face turned red and she whispered: "You danced the first dance with me today, and you are already considered the most important guest of the Jian family, so you should accompany grandpa. This is the rule, and my father and I will start entertaining other guests. ”

Xia Fei frowned. He had long known that there were many rules in the upper class, so since Avril Lavigne said it, Xia Fei had no choice but to obey.

Avril reluctantly let go of Xia Fei's arm, walked into the crowd accompanied by Pang Xing, and greeted every guest with a smile.

Xia Fei straightened his tie and strode towards the largest and most prominent circle of people.

Xia Fei didn't know many of these people, but it was easy to tell from their appearance and behavior that they were the most important people at the party. Others were full of envy of this circle, and everyone consciously gathered around to listen to their conversations. But few would chime in.

The crowd consciously made a way to let Xia Fei in. After all, Xia Fei danced the first dance with Avril Lavigne, so he should stand at the core of the crowd.

Thuram pulled Xia Fei and motioned for him to stand next to him.

Xia Fei stood with a glass of champagne and a smile on his face. They were discussing the recently popular topic of the Garden of Eden. Xia Fei listened casually and did not intend to interrupt.

Nicole raised her glass to Xia Fei, as if to congratulate her, but Xia Fei noticed a hint of loss that was difficult to conceal in her eyes.

"But I wonder if those humans from the Garden of Eden have reached the alliance now?" asked an old man with a goatee. Xia Fei had seen him on the news. He seemed to be the chairman of a certain securities institution, but for a moment he Can not remember.

Tai smiled slightly, "About this matter, I can only say that I haven't entered the capital circle yet."

This is a cunning answer. The territory of the Pan-Human Alliance is so vast. Not entering the metropolitan circle does not mean that they are still on the periphery of the alliance. Maybe the fleet is only a few hours away from the metropolitan circle.

The topic continued. Li Guan kept observing Xia Fei's expression from the opposite side and felt that the time was almost up. He winked at an old man with a black beard.

The old man understood it and said loudly: "Why don't we play the Xinghe Qin according to tradition?"

Everyone agreed, and soon someone brought a huge weird thing. From the outside, this piano looked like a meteorite flying in the sky, but this meteorite was carved artificially, and there were many irregularities on it. The keys of the keyboard appear very smooth due to frequent playing.

"What a beautiful piano. Could this be Master Solo's last masterpiece [Genesis]?" Williamson asked, stroking his hands.

Sean chuckled and said with a hint of satisfaction: "The general really has a good eye. This piano is the last and most proud work of Solo, the master of the Galaxy piano. It has been more than seven thousand years since he was made." , I accidentally discovered this piano in an art museum not long ago, so I invited it to Sunset Villa.”

Sean used the word "please" when talking about buying the instrument, which shows his respect for this weird organ.

Xia Fei curled his lips. He had no knowledge of music, and he didn't know anything about the so-called Xinghe piano. However, the strange appearance of this piano inevitably aroused his curiosity.

"What is this Xinghe Qin used for?" Xia Fei asked, and then he realized that the ghost figure was staring at the Qin infatuatedly like most people, with bright eyes shining brightly.

"Xia Fei, this is a real Xinghe Qin," Guiying said excitedly.

"So what?"

"How?" Ghost Shadow seemed to complain about Xia Fei's ignorance, and said angrily: "The Galaxy Piano is the oldest musical instrument in the Human Alliance, and it is also the most complex and difficult to learn. It is said that it takes a top-notch person to make a Galaxy Piano. The craftsman has been working for more than fifty years. Do you know that the master Sean just mentioned, Solo, only built a few Galaxy Pianos in his lifetime?"

Xia Fei shook his head. The appearance of this piano was weird, so it was natural that it would create difficulties. However, Xia Fei never imagined that it would take fifty years to make a piano. This was simply unbelievable.

"Solo is the most outstanding of all the masters of making Xinghe Qin. He began to learn to make Xinghe Qin at the age of four. He completed his studies at the age of seventy-nine. He began to try to make independently at the age of one hundred and completed his own work at the age of one hundred and ninety-one. His first work, [Unprovoked Darkness], he completed his second work [Origin] at the age of 315.”

"The second work took much longer than the first one and was more sophisticated. By the time he completed his masterpiece [Origin], Solo was already three hundred and fifteen years old, but he was not I gave up my pursuit of the ultimate Xinghe Qin and started looking for materials to prepare my third work.”

"But unfortunately he was infected with the deadly Domra virus. His right arm completely lost feeling, and he couldn't even move his legs, so he had to be carried by his apprentice and use his only arm to work. "

"By the time his last work, the one you see called Genesis, was completed, Solo was already six hundred and three years old. It took him nearly three hundred years to face such a plane. Peerless Xinghe Qin, aren’t you excited at all?”

Xia Fei shook his head, "The story is a good one. Solo is also very ambitious. He deserves to be a master. But I still don't understand what is so different about such a strange instrument that it deserves to be used for a lifetime." life to cast.”

The ghost said in a deep voice: "It is said that the ancestor of mankind was a seed, sleeping on a meteorite, traveling aimlessly in the sea of ​​​​stars. After countless years, this meteorite hit a certain planet in the Vinnar system. , the seeds were also forced to terminate their journey.”

"Here, the seeds found their partners, and after a long evolution, they eventually multiplied into today's human beings. The appearance of the Galaxy Piano is modeled after the meteorite that carried our ancestors."

Xia Fei took a closer look at the Galaxy Piano, "It does look very similar to a meteorite in appearance, but the distribution of the keys is so irregular that it is difficult for ordinary people to operate this instrument. It is not like the pianos on Earth, where the keys are all arranged together." ”

The ghost chuckled, "It wouldn't be called the Galaxy Piano if it wasn't difficult to play. This kind of piano has always been famous for being difficult to learn, but the upper class people in the Pan-Human Alliance are proud of being able to play the Galaxy Piano. This is also It’s a tradition. There are probably not a few people here today who can play the Xinghe Qin. After all, these people are the top people in the league.”

Xia Fei asked: "Can you play this kind of piano?"

Guiying patted his chest proudly, "My master has a Xinghe Qin, but it's not as expensive as this one. Naturally, a man as versatile as me has learned some lessons from my master, such as discussing Taoism and playing the Xinghe Qin. My master That is a well-deserved master.”

Guiying's face was full of pride. His master Yueying was a dashing person. He was knowledgeable and capable of all kinds of things. He was known as the most talented person in the Shadow Killing Sect. Guiying would naturally have learned a lot by following him. Otherwise, he would have learned a lot. Nor will he explain the ins and outs of Xinghe Qin in a clear and logical manner.

People were very excited. This Xinghe Qin named [Genesis] aroused great interest among everyone. Human beings are like this. No matter how vulgar people are, they are unwilling to admit their ignorance, especially in the good-looking upper class society. There may not be many people in music, but there are a lot of people who can talk about it. In addition to showing that they are well-educated, wanting to be recognized by the circle may be the main reason.

Everyone expressed that they wanted Sean, the birthday boy tonight, to play a song first. Sean pretended to be humble, but when he saw that he couldn't resist, he ordered someone to bring a chair and sat on it.

After taking a long breath, Sean's fingers suddenly moved. A strange sound came from inside the Xinghe Qin. The sound was vague and unintelligible. It penetrated the entire night sky in an instant, and the whole world became quiet.

Due to the special structure of the Xinghe Piano, Sean had to increase the range of movement of his body in order to press the keys farther away. When the movements are coherent, it looks like the prayer dance of ancient sacrifices, giving it a mysterious and difficult-to-understand feeling.

At the end of the song, the crowd burst into warm applause, and Sean said proudly: "I'm old, I'm a little tired of playing the piano, and the music is full of mistakes. Don't laugh at me."

Li Guandao: "Your song [Recitation of Meteor] is so loud that I can hear it. I seem to have seen the meteors all over the sky rushing past. This is simply the level of a master. You should stop being modest."

Everyone catered to him and praised Sean so much.

Xia Fei, on the other hand, seemed to have something on his mind, stroking his chin and standing on the spot, his face as sinking as water.

Ghost Shadow asked: "How is it? You know how powerful the Galaxy Piano is. This is the top musical instrument in the Pan-Human Alliance."

Xia Fei thought for a moment, "When this instrument is played, it feels like being in a dark night sky, surrounded by countless stars. It deeply attracts people's attention. It is really a rare instrument."

Ghost Shadow said excitedly: "The Xinghe Piano is designed to listen to the sounds from the universe. The difficulty of the piece just now is average. If you are lucky enough to be able to listen to a top Xinghe Piano concert at the White Dwarf Grand Theater, I am afraid you will forget everything."

Xia Fei frowned and said, "But I still have some questions. The sound of the piano seems to contain an aura of murder. It feels very similar to something I have come into contact with before."

The ghost looked at Xia Fei impatiently, "Are you too sensitive? People say that the sound of the Xinghe Qin is vast and mysterious, but when it reaches your ears, why does it sound like killing? The origin of the universe is creation. Rather than destruction, the Galaxy Piano plays the sound of the universe and the sound of creation.”

"I see, the murderous aura in your chest is so strong that it misinterprets the sound played by the Xinghe Qin."

Xia Fei shook his head, "We don't know the origin of the universe. Its creation and destruction are not controlled by humans. The sound of the Xinghe Qin is also full of uncertainty. It sounds like creation to you, but to me It sounds like destruction, endless killing.”
