Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang finished dealing with the Governess and came out of the city hall. The lady accompanied him to the gates, which shocked the people a lot. Many people saw Shi Lang with Cara, the leader of the city and the word spread like fire in the dry grasslands.

The Terran was unaffected by all this, but in his mind, there was a storm. As he walked through the streets, his aura changed. His brows drooped and his shoulders slouched. Shi Lang was lost in the reverie of his past, the days with Amelia.

Yes, he was triggered by the sight of Cara, who resembled Amelia Knight. While walking through the streets, Shi Lang heard some fluttering music notes. He turned to look at the side and found himself standing before an establishment with a hoarding saying, Sangeet Udyanam.

Shi Lang did not know how someone would use a couple of Sanskrit words in this world, but he did not care at the moment. He stepped inside the establishment and found that behind the walls was an isolated garden where a few people were sitting under the shades of the trees and listening to the music.

A young attending lady approached Shi Lang and asked, "Hello, sir, would you like to have a seat inside?"

Shi Lang nodded and took out a few hundred spirit stones from his space ring and said, "Can you get me some high quality wine?"

His tone was very laid back, and the young attendant nodded. She said, "We have a brew that is seventy years old and costs hundred spirit stones. I guarantee that you will like it."

Shi Lang gave her all the stones and found himself a seat under the shade of the trees. He listened to the music played by a young lady in the center of the garden. The music was contradictory to his mood but he did not mind. This happy piece of music brought him the smiling glimpses of Amelia and their good times together.

Soon, the wine was served and the Terran took his sips leisurely. Then he took out his Qin, but he did not play it. The instrument just lay in his lap. The people all saw this, but since Shi Lang did not disturb the performance they did not say anything.

After a few minutes, the player stopped and said, "I apologize, earlier when Lord Shin asked me to play this song I did tell him that I have not yet completed this piece. I have to stop here."

The people clapped and a middle-aged man, apparently Lord Shin, stood up and said, "It is always a pleasure to hear you play these original songs, Lady Mae. Even if it is incomplete, it brings me great joy."

Lady Mae smiled and at this moment, someone said, "Fellow Daoist, do you also play?"

Everyone turned to look at Shi Lang, and Mae raised her brow, it was only now did she notice the Qin in his lap. The Terran nodded slowly, people thought that he was intoxicated, and Shi Lang raised his head to look at Mae and asked, "May I ask, what is the meaning that you are conveying in the song? It reminded me of some of my happiest moments in the past life."

Mae nodded and said, "Indeed, I want to convey the meaning of three moods of life in this song, but till now, I haven't been able to tap into the second part, grievance or sadness. The ache that generates from the depths of your heart."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Allow me to play."

Mae nodded and everyone looked eager to see what Shi Lang could do. In the world of cultivation having the confidence to play in an unfamiliar setting, and figuring out the meaning of the song on the first go was a sign of skill, and everyone wanted to see this skill.

Shi Lang played the melody that he had heard when he entered the place. Everyone was surprised but Mae stood up from her position in shock. She was the creator of this song and understood the depth of her own song better than the others. However, at this moment, she could clearly picture two young people completely in love with each other.

The music Shi Lang played resonated with the core of her soul and caused her to shiver. She looked at the maid on the side and said, "Remove the isolation array."

As soon as she said this, the people were surprised. They all could sense the music moving their hearts, and by removing the array, the sound made with spiritual instruments traveled far.

Shi Lang was immersed in the music and in his mind the scenes moved in quickly. As the scene came to the end, suddenly, the vibe of the notes changed. They all were overwhelmed by the sudden pain emanating from the music played by the Terran.

The Terran closed his eyes, and recalling the moment when Amelia passed away in his arms, his intention to kill Juan Xuan surfaced one more time and the people almost pissed their pants. The next moment, his notes calmed down and the feeling of heartache erupted.

Almost everyone in the city was crying. Mae looked at Shi Lang, who had tears of blood trailing down his cheeks. She could not believe where he will go with this feeling now. Such an intense feeling, would he be able to find the optimistic emotion for the future.

However, just when she was filled with doubt, the music changed, the feeling of grief calmed down, and it began to transform once again. This time it was subtle, and brewing. It moved slowly and the feeling of hope emerged as the people saw the young couple coming back together and looking at each other with a smile and love in their eyes.

Mae had such a sharp perception that for a second she had the glimpse of Amelia and Shi Lang flash before her eyes as if they were really together. Another thing that Mae realized was that how Amelia bore a striking resemblance with Cara, and it caused a lot of questions to rise in her heart.

After Shi Lang finished playing the song, his heart had eased a lot, and he opened his eyes and grabbed the flask of wine before he chugged it down his throat and stood up.

The people were still entranced, and the Terran was on his way out, when Mae approached him and asked, "Fellow Daoist, can I ask you to stay back for a few minutes? I wish to ask you a few questions. Please?"

Shi Lang thought about it and nodded. He needed something to divert his attention.
