    Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi weirdly. She wondered to herself, Is this guy really so charismatic?


    Yan Xiu found it weird as well, but he did not say anything.


    When Wen Dabao looked at Fang Zhengzhi, his eyes were filled with admiration and jealousy. This man is the master!


    Fang Zhengzhi was taken aback as well. He did not want to flirt with her. More importantly, he was neither rich nor powerful.


    More importantly, he did not know how to y music.


    What was Immortal Tune trying to do?


    "Young Master Fang, drink up." Immortal Tune raised her ss and gulped the wine down without waiting for Fang Zhengzhi.


    Fang Zhengzhi looked at the ss in front of him. He thought about it, then drank up.


    All of the other talents wanted to kill Fang Zhengzhi when they saw him hesitate. He already had the girl, yet he still wanted to feign innocence.


    Wu Feng stood quietly in his original position.


    Even though he was ignored, he still had to maintain hisposure. He felt that even if Immortal Tune ignored him for now, she woulde back to him in the end.


    Yes...


    She will.


    "Young Master Fang, are you not going to invite me to sit down?" Immortal Tune asked.


    "Plonk!" Wu Feng’s legs turned to jelly as he fell back into his seat. His face waspletely red. He did not know what happened.


    Where did he go wrong?


    He was asked to meet the Emperor! Furthermore, he was higher ranked than Fang Zhengzhi on the Rising Dragon Roll. Most importantly, he was a talented musician.


    He had all the advantages.


    But he lost.


    He had beenpletely schooled.


    Hallucination, this must be a hallucination.


    Wu Feng rubbed his eyes and looked at Immortal Tune. He saw that Immortal Tune was taking a seat at Fang Zhengzhi’s table. She even filled Fang Zhengzhi’s cup.


    No way!


    Wu Feng could not take it any longer.


    He had been stymied at every turn. Each one waspletely unexpected and illogical. The n had been perfect. He had the initiative and the advantage, but the truth was cruel.


    "Fang Zhengzhi, with so many talents and beauties here, would you engage me in a poetrypetition in the spirit of this intellectual meet? You can choose the topic." Wu Feng raged.


    It was a pity that this was an intellectual meet and not a martial one. If not, he would challenge Fang Zhengzhi and destroy him.


    "Poetry?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Wu Feng.


    "That’s right. You can choose the topic." Wu Feng nodded confidently. He knew that Fang Zhengzhi would notpete with him in music. His only chance was to engage Fang Zhengzhi in an intellectual duel.


    "Nope." Fang Zhengzhi rejected him.


    "Why? This is an intellectual meet!" Wu Feng could not understand. He was already giving Fang Zhengzhi the advantage, why would Fang Zhengzhi reject him?


    "But I cam to listen to music." Fang Zhengzhi chewed on a nut and replied tly.


    "You... how about wepete based on couplets? I saw your script before. If you’re not willing topete in poetry, how about couplets?" Wu Feng grit his teeth.


    "Nope."


    "Why not?"


    "I already told you before. I came to listen to music. Stop annoying me." Fang Zhengzhi said dismissively.


    "Hehehe..." Immortal Tune chuckled to herself, her hand covering her mouth.


    Ping Yang’sughter was much more maniacal.


    "Hahaha!!" She did not even try to keep her volume down.


    Even Yan Xiu cracked a smile. It was almost as if all the unhappiness flooded out of him in that instant.


    Wen Dabao wanted tough too. However, he knew that he was not as good as Fang Zhengzhi. He could not afford to antagonize Wu Feng.


    As such, he blushed.


    He was trying to suppress hisughter.


    Wu Feng’s expression darkened. It was even darker than charcoal.


    "Since Young Master Fang is here to listen to music, I haveposed a few new songs. I wonder if you are willing to walk with me?" Immortal Tune chuckled, then said.


    The entire loft fell silent when they heard this.


    All of the talents looked at Fang Zhengzhi in disbelief.


    They could not understand where Fang Zhengzhi got his luck from. He did not strum any strings, hit any drum, blow into any flute. He did not evenpose a poem.


    Even so...


    Immortal Tune invited him into her private chambers?


    Could the world be any more unfair?!


    Wu Feng had thought that he would be the lucky one tonight. After receiving the invite from the Emperor, he had thought that he would be going home with a prettydy. Tomorrow, his victory would be confirmed.


    He would enjoy himself to the fullest.


    However... no matter how he tried...


    He did not manage to seed.


    His ‘fun’ was stolen away by Fang Zhengzhi. More importantly, he did not even know how Fang Zhengzhi did it.


    "Walk? To where?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Immortal Tune with confusion.


    "Her chambers! Immortal Tune is inviting you to her chambers!" Wen Dabao was almost about to jump out of his seat.


    "Chambers? But... I just want to listen to music. I don’t want to sleep with her." Fang Zhengzhi replied innocently.


    "Plonk!"


    All of the seated talents fell off their chairs and onto the ground. They red at Fang Zhengzhi murderously.


    Sleep with her?!


    Would Immortal Tune even want to sleep with you?!


    What was this guy thinking?


    Ping Yang also burst outughing. "Fang Zhengzhi, hahaha... I can’t believe how hrious this is, hahaha..."


    Yan Xiu wasughing too, but he wasughing bitterly.


    Wen Dabao also wanted tough. However, he suppressed it, his body shivering. He whispered, "Official Fang, just because she invited you to her chambers doesn’t mean that she wants to sleep with you. Furthermore, she must agree to it."


    "Oh I see." Fang Zhengzhi nodded slowly. That being said, in the ancient times, going into ady’s chamber usually led to that.


    Perhaps those stories were lying.


    Or maybe they only recorded the stories of those who actually did it. Those who didn’t were left out.


    "Hehehe... is this the first time Young Master Fang hase to listen to music?" Immortal Tune chuckled lightly.


    "Mm, it is." Fang Zhengzhi felt a little awkward saying that this was his first time even though that was a fact.


    "I am honored. Young Master Fang, please follow me." Immortal Tune extended her hand to Fang Zhengzhi after hearing the reply.


    "Hahaha... go quickly." Ping Yang chuckled.


    "Don’t forget that the results will be announced tomorrow. I will wait for you at the entrance to the Imperial Decree Hall." Yan Xiu reminded as he nodded.


    "Official Fang, after you finished listening to the music, you must tell me about it. No one has heard Immortal Tune’s newest songs." Wen Dabao looked at Fang Zhengzhi with jealousy.


    Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang and Yan Xiu. He finally understood why having fun was considered a good thing here.


    He was being asked out by ady so openly. More importantly, even the princess was supporting him.


    How could he resist?


    ...


    Inside the antiquated room in the Intellectual Loft...


    Thedy in the ck dress was still reading the letters in front of her. However, she had lost some of the concentration she had before.


    After reading a dozen letters, she stopped.


    Her eyes turned to look at the bright light as she bit her lip. Her expression revealed traces of anger as she contemted something.


    "Master!" Just at this moment, a servant in a ck dress entered the room cautiously.


    "How is it?" Thedy in ck asked anxiously.


    "Immortal Tune has already invited Young Master Fang to her chambers." The servant bowed and replied.


    "Oh, what did he perform?" Thedy in ck heaved a sigh of relief.


    "He didn’t perform any music."


    "No music? Then did he recite poetry?"


    "Nope, he did not make music, neither did hepose a poem."


    "None of the above... did hee up with an outstanding couplet?" Thedy in ck asked doubtfully.


    "Master, Fang Zhengzhi did not do anything. In actual fact, Young Master Fang did not seem to want her. In order to finish the mission, Immortal Tune had to take the initiative." The servant replied.


    "That shameless fellow didn’t try to win Immortal Tune over?" Thedy in ck was shocked.


    "Exactly. Young Master Fang did not try to win her over. Furthermore, when Immortal Tune invited him to her chamber, he said..."


    "What did he say?"


    "He said that he was only here to listen to music. He had no intention to sleep with her."


    "What? Hahaha... that shameless fellow really said that?"


    "Yes, I heard it loud and clear. Immortal Tune also found out that this is Young Master Fang’s first time out. He doesn’t know the rules here."


    "First time? Okay, I got it. You can leave now. Have Immortal Tune continue ording to n." Thedy in ck ordered.


    "Yes." The servant left the room.


    Thedy in ck picked up yet another letter from the table. She began to read it, this time with a smile on her face.


    "First time out? Only listen to music and not sleep with the girl? Hahaha..."
