Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Not Even Worth Shit

Seeing Ye Qingtian down the glass of red wine in one gulp, Xiao Zhen’s eyes were full of ridicule.

To him, Ye Qingtian was just a country bumpkin who didn’t even know how to drink red wine properly!

"Brother Ye, are you from the Hidden Sect People?" Xiao Zhen asked.

"I’m from the Mortal World," Ye Qingtian answered truthfully.

This made the mockery in Xiao Zhen’s eyes even more intense.

"The first step in drinking red wine is to look at the wine, the second is to swirl the wine, the third is to smell the wine, the fourth is to taste the wine, and the fifth is to savor it."

"That’s the proper way to drink red wine."

After saying that, he looked at Tang Chan’er: "Your friend here probably comes from a poor family in the Mortal World, hasn’t he? He might not have even tasted red wine before!"

Xiao Zhen’s words were full of disdain.

Earlier, when he saw Tang Chan’er dining with Ye Qingtian, he felt a pang of envy.

Later, when Tang Chan’er was very warm to Ye Qingtian, his jealousy intensified.

So Xiao Zhen wanted to show off his own knowledge and abilities while belittling Ye Qingtian!

Hearing Xiao Zhen’s disdainful words, Tang Chan’er’s brows furrowed, ready to retort for Ye Qingtian.

But Ye Qingtian picked up a bottle of red wine and began to gulp it down.

He finished it quickly.

He ignored Xiao Zhen the entire time.

Seeing Ye Qingtian’s behavior, Xiao Zhen’s face immediately darkened.

He didn’t expect Ye Qingtian, a lowly person from the Mortal World, not only to disrespect him but to also ignore him!

"Kid, how dare you look down on me!"

Xiao Zhen yelled in anger.

Ye Qingtian still ignored him, turning to Tang Chan’er, saying, "Thank you for the wine."

Seeing Ye Qingtian continue to ignore him, Xiao Zhen was about to burst with rage.

At that moment, the mellow and lingering sound of a cello began to permeate the air, preventing Xiao Zhen from making a move.

But his gaze at Ye Qingtian was full of hostility!

Tang Chan’er’s brow furrowed slightly, her eyes full of loathing.

To be frank, she really disliked dining with Xiao Zhen, always avoiding it if she could, and if not, she’d make an excuse to leave for the bathroom and then quietly head home.

But today was for inviting Ye Qingtian to dinner, and Xiao Zhen was very eager to join them.

So she agreed.

Who would have thought that this guy would take several digs at Ye Qingtian, showing off in front of him!

This made Tang Chan’er even more disgusted with him to the extreme.

At this point, she ignored Xiao Zhen, turned to Ye Qingtian, and said, "Mr. Ye, the one playing the cello on stage is my friend Bei Xiyue."

Ye Qingtian looked up, seeing a beautiful woman on stage.

Dressed in white, she was exquisite in every way.

She quietly played the cello, with all emotions seemingly emanating from it.

The notes danced mischievously on the strings, leaping into the ears of the diners.

Her performance was enchanting, and many people closed their eyes to listen.

As the piece ended, the audience erupted in thunderous applause.

At this moment, Xiao Zhen sneered and asked, "Mr. Ye, how was the cello performance?"

"Let me remind you, this is different from your Mortal World stuff."

"Miss Bei Xiyue is a Spirit Musician, and her music allows martial artists to quickly enter their cultivation state."

"Whatever, explaining to you is pointless, just share your thoughts."

Xiao Zhen wasn’t going to miss the chance to make Ye Qingtian look foolish.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingtian glanced at Xiao Zhen as if looking at an idiot and once again ignored him.

Xiao Zhen, ignored for the third time, could no longer bear it.

Just as he was about to take action, a voice as soft as a bird chirping sounded: "Chan’er, may I sit down?"

"Of course, you silly girl, no need to be so polite."

"I just didn’t want to be the third wheel and interrupt your date," Bei Xiyue smiled softly.

"What date! Mr. Ye is my brother’s lifesaver, I invited him to dinner to thank him specifically."

Tang Chan’er hurried to clarify.

"I wasn’t talking about Mr. Ye, I was referring to Young Master Xiao," Bei Xiyue laughed slightly.

"Him?"

"He’s the one with thick skin who insisted on joining us," Tang Chan’er rolled her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth, realizing that in Tang Chan’er’s eyes, he was no better than Ye Qingtian from the Mortal World!

After mutual introductions, Bei Xiyue sat down and casually asked Ye Qingtian, "Mr. Ye, how did you find my cello performance?"

Bei Xiyue’s lips curled slightly, a touch more anticipation on her splendid face.

It was clear she hoped to receive Ye Qingtian’s praise.

"Are you sure?" Ye Qingtian asked.

"Yes, go ahead, we’re all eager to hear," Bei Xiyue said.

Even Tang Chan’er and Xiao Zhen showed interest at this point.

"Mr. Ye, feel free to comment," Tang Chan’er added.

Hearing this, Ye Qingtian calmly said, "Not worth a dog’s fart."

Not worth a dog’s fart?

When the words came out, the other three were all dumbfounded.

They could hardly dream that Ye Qingtian would use such words.

Especially Bei Xiyue, whose face changed drastically at hearing this!

And Xiao Zhen, initially stunned, then burst into laughter: "Wow, Mr. Ye, you really say whatever you want!"

"Miss Bei Xiyue is a true Illusion Musician!"

"Do you even know what an Illusion Musician is? I bet you’ve never heard of it being a lowly person from the Mortal World!"

Xiao Zhen was certain Ye Qingtian had never even heard of the profession of Illusion Musician.

He had said that just to catch Bei Xiyue’s attention!

But that approach was sheer idiocy!

Tang Chan’er felt a moment of awkwardness but couldn’t fault Ye Qingtian, so she apologized herself: "Xiyue, I’m sorry, Mr. Ye didn’t mean it."

"Why apologize? Did I do something wrong, or did you?"

Ye Qingtian’s words were overwhelmingly forceful!

Upon hearing this, Bei Xiyue gritted her teeth in anger.

Across the entire Wu City, even the entire Esoteric Region, Spirit Musicians were as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn’s horn.

It could even be said that Spirit Musicians were rarer than Spirit Array Masters.

A Spirit Musician not only requires extraordinary talent and high martial arts cultivation, but also an expertise in music.

A Spirit Array Master uses spiritual qi for array formation, but a Spirit Musician relies not only on spiritual qi but also on music.

Music is the soul of a Spirit Musician, enabling them to attack, defend, and cultivate through it...

In summary, Spirit Musicians are incredibly powerful and exceedingly rare.

As of now, across Wu City and even the entire Esoteric Sect region, there are only two Spirit Musicians, one of whom is Bei Xiyue.

The other is her father, Master Bei.

It’s said that Master Bei is a descendant of Beethoven.

Beethoven is a world-renowned music master.

As the daughter of Master Bei, Bei Xiyue possesses extremely strong musical instincts, and she was handpicked by Master Bei from hundreds of thousands of music maestros.

Several years ago, Bei Xiyue caught the attention of the entire Hidden Sect Realm!

The praise she received was as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Yet Ye Qingtian said her cello playing was not worth a dog’s fart!

As she pondered this, Bei Xiyue gritted her teeth in resentment: "Ye, your earlier words insult us Spirit Musicians."

"I’m telling you, my father, Master Bei, will arrive soon, you’d better apologize immediately!"
