Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 712 - 684 Qin Chi, Lin Zhixiang

"Now, with our warmest applause, let's welcome Carefree Sigh."

"Hello, everyone, we are Carefree Sigh!"

Five people bounced out from backstage, one with a violin and another with a saxophone, and at the center, at the forefront, holding a microphone, he was the lead vocalist of Carefree Sigh, Sun Xiao.

"Hello, I'm Sun Xiao, I love you guys."

Sun Xiao waved to the crowd, greeted everyone warmly, and then bowed.

This scene drove the fans crazy with excitement, surging passionately—it was sheer madness.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"We love you."

...,...,

Even the wives, with no regard for Lin Tian's feelings beside them, raised their signs high and shouted.

"We love you, we love you."

Lin Tian shook his head repeatedly on the side, also feeling rather helpless.

How could they say the word 'love' so casually to another man!

Sun Xiao said, "Thank you for your support. I have nothing to repay you with, so I'll use my singing to thank you."

Then the music started, and the venue gradually quieted down.

Sun Xiao closed his eyes and began to sing.

"Drip drap, drip drap drap drip drap."

"Let's meet on the streets of New York."

...,....

Lin Tian was not interested in this song, so he picked up his phone and played Fight the Landlord.

After one song was over, Carefree Sigh did some street dancing, which was overall quite good and elicited screams from the female fans. However, Lin Tian was not interested in street dancing. Perhaps if it were the passionate dances of Korean girl groups, he might have watched, but men dancing—what's there to see?

Then, one song after another was performed. There were one or two decent songs, but the rest were not pleasing to the ear. However, the crowd of female fans didn't seem to have come just for the music. The slightest action from Sun Xiao sent them into a screaming frenzy, the atmosphere was very lively.

Two and a half hours passed, and the concert neared its end. Finally, Carefree Sigh brought out their finale, Carefree Sigh.

"Next, let us perform for you our signature work, Carefree Sigh,"

Sun Xiao yelled.

"Wow, they're finally singing Carefree Sigh!"

"Big love for Carefree Sigh, big love for Sun Xiao."

"Hurry, sing, sing!"

...,....

The lights danced, and the intro played, the beautiful melody ringing in everyone's ears.

Everyone, full of anticipation for this song, quieted down, and some even closed their eyes.

The lights twinkled, shining down on Sun Xiao, who slowly began to sing.

"Time seldom stands still, the autumn wind tires of wandering, the setting sun clings to the wall, reluctant to leave me!"

"Hmm, sounds good, quite interesting," Lin Tian commented. This song was indeed good, Lin Tian waited half a day to hear this one, and it was worth it.

"Words once whispered in my ear have now flowed eastward with the tide."

"Looking back, bygone days fall away with the autumn leaves, one by one."

...,....

With just a few lines, everyone was intoxicated, utterly immersed in the song.

"Lofty ambitions clouded by woes, true friends are hard to retain!"

"Looking back again, I hear laughter within drunken dreams."

"Idle talk exhausts, the past obsessed becomes today's madness and ends in vain, the blade dulls lacking edge, love lost and bonds broken as dreams shatter!"

"The wild path laments, embracing footprints unknown, eyes yearn through years for understanding amidst the bustling world!"

By the end of the song, Lin Tian's eyes were moist, and most of the audience had already cried.

Sun Xiao's haunting voice had moved Lin Tian—and everyone else.

"Competing with the sun for radiance only to waste away."

"As tears dry and blood rises in a frenzy, the white snow flutters!"

"All in vain!"

When the song concluded, it was as if everyone had witnessed the last stand of a hero, destitute and sorrowful with unfulfilled ambitions. After the song, there were no cheers, no screams, only tears and sadness.

Such is the power of a song, the power of a concert. Without being there in person, one simply can't feel the same emotion.

It seemed Sun Xiao was accustomed to such scenes and after a moment, he spoke, "Fans, come back to reality now!"

With those words, he woke the crowd, and what followed was a thunderous roar like a tidal wave at the venue.

"So good, big love for Carefree Sigh."

"Big love for Sun Xiao."

"Sun Xiao, Carefree Sigh, we love you, we love you."

...,....

Everyone, while wiping their tears, was screaming frantically.

Seeing the fans so enthusiastic, Sun Xiao was also very satisfied. Responding to the strong demand from the audience, Sun Xiao shouted,

"Next, I will play 'Carefree Sigh' for everyone, and the concert will close amidst the sound of the zither."

Then, the other four on stage stepped back, and several staff members carrying stools and an ancient zither placed them on the stage.

This 'Carefree Sigh' started as a melody; after it became popular, lyrics were added. To speak one-sidedly, the melody is more beautiful and more eagerly anticipated than the lyrics.

Sun Xiao rested one hand on the zither and plucked the strings with the other.

"Zheng zheng zheng...!"

The beautiful sound of the zither arose, the tune high and slowly turned deep, the image of a hero's downfall and unfulfilled ambition once again appeared before everyone, tears reemerged, and all lamented the injustices of fate and the tragedy of a hero's song!

All were once again immersed in the sound of the zither, when Lin Tian suddenly felt a strong surge of True Yuan energy.

A loud bang abruptly erupted like thunder.

"What kind of lousy piece are you playing? With such scant skills, you dare to perform on stage."

A figure, like a ghost, silently rushed onto the stage from below, flicking a finger and emitting a burst of True Yuan energy. The True Yuan transformed into a sharp sword, striking Sun Xiao's ancient zither directly, shattering it into powder.

Sun Xiao was also knocked back by the residual force, flying three or four meters and landing on the floor, sitting down hard. He lay on the ground wailing, holding his stomach, as if his ribs were broken.

The sudden appearance of this scene shocked everyone. Just a moment ago everyone was still intoxicated by the sound of the zither, but now, the music was gone, replaced by the painful howls of Sun Xiao.

Instantly, the scene descended into chaos. Some fans tried to run, but there were too many people, and it was impossible to get out. People were pushing and shoving each other, several were knocked down and trampled into serious injuries.

All of Lin Tian's girlfriends now had no mind to listen to the zither, clinging to his arms and hiding behind him, looking as vulnerable as little birds seeking protection!

The event organizers were petrified in horror. Who could have expected this to happen?

Dozens of bodyguards charged over quickly, wielding batons, and collectively attacked that person.

The intruder held a long rectangular case, dressed in a leather jacket, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a square face, appearing to be in his thirties or forties.

As dozens of security guards rushed toward him, he showed no fear. He opened the case, took out an ancient zither, and laid one hand gently on the zither while lightly flicking the strings with the other.

"Zheng zheng zheng...!"

Once the sound of the zither began, it seemed to touch the heartstrings of the listeners, like the singing of a mythical luan and the lyrics of a phoenix, as mellifluous and enchanting as music from the heavens.

The once panic-stricken crowd, upon hearing the music of the zither, was suddenly spellbound; they stopped running and stayed to listen obediently to the sound of the zither.

The dozens of bodyguards charged fast, but the man, undeterred, gradually mobilized the True Yuan within his body and released it with the sound waves.

Immediately after, each bodyguard, as if struck by a punch, clutched their stomachs and fell to the ground.

The man was very strong, so strong that Lin Tian felt a bit wary of him, but his moves were very gentle, showing no intention of injuring anyone.

It seemed his purpose in causing a disturbance was pure; he merely wanted to showcase his zither skills.

In just a few seconds, his zither music had conquered everyone present and, incidentally, laid low dozens of guards.

The man was very pleased with himself and said, "I have been obsessed with the zither all my life. Today, I came here with no other intention but to let you all hear a true rendition of 'Carefree Sigh.'

"What, he is going to play 'Carefree Sigh?'"

"Who is he, who is he really?"

"Isn't this just smashing up the event? What kind of person does this!"

"Just listen—maybe his rendition of 'Carefree Sigh' is even better. There's no harm in listening; let's stay a while longer."

"Poor Sun Xiao, what happened to him? I'm so worried for him!"

… ... …

Once the man spoke up, there was a buzz of discussion; some worried about Sun Xiao's injury, some cursed him for causing trouble, and some were curious to listen further. In short, the crowd was filled with various opinions.

However, Lin Tian's wives were evidently extremely disgusted by this man, with their faces clearly spelling out four words.

I! Am! Not! Happy!

Lin Tian, on the other hand, wasn't bothered; he was actually quite looking forward to hearing how beautiful the man's zither music could be.

The man gently stroked the zither, then, exhaling a breath of turbid air, he closed his eyes and plucked the strings.

"Zheng zheng zheng...!"

The melodic sound of the zither immediately sweeps one into feelings of full-blown resentment, unfulfilled ambitions, and the tragedy of one's fate, causing everyone to clench their fists in anger.

Then, as the music shifted, it carried one into the scenes of white-haired sorrow, old age, and the helplessness of decline, slowly, the crowd unclenched their fists, their anger turning into a feeling of resigned bitterness.

"Zheng zheng zheng...!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

The sound of the zither continued, resonating with the audience's nerves, leaving everyone unable to hold back tears. Visions began to emerge before their eyes; a lonely old man leaning against a wall, tears becoming dry in the wind, swaying, his loneliness etched onto his face!

"Hoo...!"

Having finished playing, the man took a long breath, the sorrowful tune leaving him feeling unsettled.

The next instant, a crazier wave of screaming erupted. This rabble was even more intense than Sun Xiao's because this man played 'Carefree Sigh' better than Sun Xiao had.

The crowd went wild; in their lives, they had never heard such enchanting zither music and forgot all about Sun Xiao, screaming crazily,

"Who are you!"

"Play another piece, it's so beautiful!"

… ... …

Seeing such a reaction from the audience, the man was very proud and seemed to enjoy everyone's frenzy.

Then he spoke indifferently,

"My name is Lin Zhixiang, people gave me the nickname, Qin Chi!"
