Chapter 362.
In the lobby of Lichun Academy, immortal music floated and dark scents floated.
A Ying Luan bird with seven-colored tail feathers hovered and danced in the sky above the stage, responding to the music and songs and emitting pleasant chirps from time to time.
On the necks of these Ying Luan birds, all of them had a vermillion lacquer plate with their names written on it, representing the thirty-six songstresses who were participating in tonight’s Red Sleeve Workshop Songstresses’ Meeting.
“Cai Yue!”
“Xiao Qiao!”
“Jiao Jiao!”
The guests sitting in the upstairs and downstairs boxes and halls threw out a hairpin from time to time.
The Ying Luan bird corresponding to the name immediately swooped down, nimbly and accurately grabbed the hairpin and swallowed it into its crop.
The Yingluan bird has an oval-shaped crop on its neck, which has a natural ability to store things.
Wild Yingluan birds would use the crop to store food, while these artificial domesticated ones were used as a tool for counting votes.
By the time all the songstresses finish their performances, the one who gets the most hairpins is the season’s flower leader!
The more hairpins the Yingluan bird swallows, the higher it flies.
The rankings were clear at a glance.
There were many guests who came to Lichun courtyard to watch the competition in the evening, and many of them were the benefactors of these songstresses, who paid large sums of spirit stones to buy the hairpins and smashed them out one by one.
In order for their favorite songstresses to be able to dominate the luan head!
As each songstress made her debut, the atmosphere gradually became fiery, and the number of hairpins smashed out became more and more, making it too late for the Ying Luan birds to pick them up.
But this was only a small problem, because the hairpin flowers were also divided into grades, there were copper flowers, silver flowers, gold flowers, jade flowers and purple flowers.
Copper flowers are one spirit a piece, silver flowers are ten spirits, and gold flowers are a hundred spirits ……
A jade flower smashed down by a luxurious guest made his favored songstress go straight to the dome!
It drew bursts of amazement and cheers.
In such an atmosphere, it was still really hard for the average person to control the urge for Kryptonite Spirit Stones.
With a hot head, large handfuls of spirit stones were smashed out.
There were also those who were purely in it for the fighting spirit.
The ones currently occupying the top positions were Xiao Qiao from the Bright Moon Pavilion, and Su Qing from the Hundred Flowers Building.
The two gold masters were divided between the east and west boxes on the fifth floor, forming a tit-for-tat situation.
They smashed out more and more hairpins, and actually had a tendency to kill each other!
“Miss Su Qing’s benefactor is the Wang family’s Wang Daoshao ……”
In the third floor box, Xiao Gui Zi, who served beside Wang Chen, explained for him, “The Wang family of Liancheng Wang, whose family has a Jindan real person, does business trading tremendously, with tens of thousands of acres of land in the city, and builds a lot of houses and stores.”
This was really rich!
Wang Dust nodded.
Lotus City was the location of the Western Sea Sect’s Southern Region Palace, and it belonged to the political, economic, and cultural center of the southern part of the Western Sea Spiritual Region.
Since this Immortal City was constructed on top of a large swamp and a large lake, although it was said that Immortal’s means of building a city was not comparable to that of the mundane, such a city could not be expanded out casually.
Although Wang Dust had just come to Lotus City, he also had a certain understanding of the situation here.
Having tens of thousands of acres of land in Lotus City, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was rich.
No wonder this Young Master Wang was so bold, smashing spirit stones was like smashing stones, throwing out a branch of jade flowers without blinking his eyes.
“Young Master Wang’s counterpart is Young Master Wang Fifth.”
Little Gui Zi continued his introduction, “The Lian Cheng Wang family used to be broad, and it is said that their ancestor had once produced a True Immortal, but there is no way to compare their prestige with the Wang family now.”
This family ah!
Wang Dust raised his eyebrows, “Then this Wang Fifth Young Man also dares to fight with Mr. Wang?”
Little Gui Zi explained, “Wang Fifth Shao is of a mixed nature and has always defied Da Shao Wang, and he likes Su Qing so much that he ran to Hundred Flowers House every day some time ago.”
“Wait.”
Wang Dust was puzzled, “Isn’t this Wang Fifth Youngster supporting Xiao Qiao?”
“That’s right.”
Xiao Gui Zi laughed, “Because Young Master Wang has taken a liking to Su Qing and chartered her for a month to listen to music, so Wang Fifth Shao can only prove that he is not powerless by supporting Xiao Qiao.”
“If he supports Su Qing now, wouldn’t that be giving Big Shot Wang a boost!”
Such a brain loop ……
Wang Dust could only say how strange Big Brother List One was!
While the two were talking, suddenly a lazy voice floated down from the top floor: “Xiao Wu ah, it’s not easy for your family to earn some spirit stones, being spoiled by you like this, does your father know?”
The thick mockery in these words, everyone in Lichun courtyard heard it clearly and plainly!
The hot atmosphere of the scene was stagnant.
Even the singer who was singing on the stage was stuck on her words.
Xiao Guizi said softly, “This is Young Master Wang.”
After a few moments, another voice came out, “Surname Wang, I’m no poorer than this amount of spirit stones, no one will take you as mute if you don’t speak!”
“Heh!”
Wang Da Shao snorted, “You only have a few spirit stones in your pocket, I advise you not to hold out.”
Wang Fifth Shao: “Bah!”
The exchange between the two was intense and short, but after exchanging a few curses, they coincidentally didn’t smash any more hairpins.
It was only because there were more smashes in front of them that the Ying Luan Bird representing Xiao Qiao and Su Qing still stood tall.
As usual, it was colorful!
In fact, at this time, many people understood that tonight’s Flower Leader would inevitably be decided between the two songstresses.
There was no hope for anyone else.
The singing of the songstresses on the stage was still continuing, but the atmosphere of the scene had calmed down a lot.
Possibly under the influence, the songstress continuously sang several wrong words, drawing a few snickers.
She finally left the stage with tears in her eyes.
Xiao Gui Zi sighed, “From tonight onwards, her value will drop by at least half.”
Not being able to hold up the stage at a critical moment, her reputation would naturally be poor.
It was at this time that another songstress appeared on stage.
“Xiao Ren!”
Xiao Guizi instantly became excited, “Xiao Ren is out!”
He gripped the sandalwood chair in front of him with such force that he almost crushed the back of the chair.
Although Wang Duan had ordered Xiao Ren to listen to the song, he had never seen the other party’s face, and this time he was able to see the real person.
Only to see her wearing a plain white long dress, her face covered with a veil, holding a jiaowei zither in her arms and bowing to the crowd.
“Xiao Ren of Lichun Academy, please give me your guidance.”
Xiao Ren took a seat in front of the zither table, set the burnt-tailed zither on it, and after holding her breath for a moment began to play.
Her zither skills were undoubtedly the most outstanding among all the singing girls who appeared in front of her, her ten flourishing fingers fluttered on the strings, resting, breaking, picking, wiping, ticking, hooking, plucking, and hitting, as if they were flowing like a cloud of water, making people marvel.
Wang Dust couldn’t help but nod his head.
Just this one opening song was worth coming to watch this songstress meeting tonight.
Wang Dust waved his sleeve, and a pile of spirit stones instantly appeared on the desk.
“Help me change it into a hairpin.”
He said to Xiao Gui Zi, “Vote for all of them for Miss Xiao Ren.”
Although Xiao Ren said earlier that she didn’t want to vote for flowers, after listening to her zither music, Wang Chen was really embarrassed to not give a single penny.
Meaning is always necessary.
