When Li Xuan said this, the atmosphere turned extremely tense.

Sun Mo didnt reply. Ying Baiwu, Jiang Leng, and Helian Beifang immediately stood up and stared at him in rage.

Li Xuan, apologize!

Ying Baiwu roared.

Jiang Leng and Helian Beifang didnt say anything, but their hands were already holding their weapons tightly. They were like ferocious beasts that were prepared to hunt prey at any moment.

The killing intent they exuded caused Li Xuan to involuntarily feel his heart shuddering.

RUMBLE~

The guards outside immediately rushed in upon hearing the commotion.

However, Sun Mos students showed no fear at all.

Royal brother, what crazy words are you speaking?

Li Ziqi berated before hurriedly apologizing to Sun Mo. Teacher, he has been spoiled all his life and is too prideful. Please forgive him this time?

These words caused Li Xuan to feel even angrier and more embarrassed. He roared at the little sunny egg, Who do you think you are? I dont need you to meddle in my matters!

Li Ziqi still wanted to persuade her brother, but she was stopped by Sun Mo.

Having no regard for you, the crown prince, in my eyes?

Sun Mos lips curled. Hehe, you are mistaken. Ive never even looked straight at you before. Other than your bloodline, do you have any other aspects that are worthy of my admiration?

You dare to show disrespect to the royal clan of Great Tang?

Li Xuans face flushed red, resembling the color of a pigs liver.

This sentence was simply too over-the-top.

The thing Li Xuan was proudest about was his bloodline. As the crown prince, in name, he was the second most prestigious person in the entire Tang Empire.

Digging a hole for me?

Sun Mo felt disdain. I dare to say this even in front of Princess Li Xiu. It isnt terrifying if a person is mediocre. Whats terrifying is that he cannot recognize the fact that he is mediocre. Yes, thats right. Im talking about you. As the crown prince, you are actually dragging the entire Great Tang down!

Teacher Sun, thats enough. Do you treat me as non-existent?

Han Cangshui spoke, wanting to protect his students pride.

Teacher Han, the alchemy pill you concocted might be magical, but such an item can only treat the symptom and not the root. Could it be that you want Li Xuan to depend on your pills forever?

Sun Mo mocked.

What nonsense are you talking about?

The light in Li Xuans eyes flickered as he secretly snuck a glance at Li Xiu. If his aunt was to know that his results were all dependent on him consuming the medicine, things would surely be dire.

Aunt, dont listen to him

Shut up!

Li Xiu scolded. Apologize to Great Teacher Sun!

Ah?

Li Xuan was unhappy. (Which faction are you from? Im your nephew!)

Apologize!

Li Xiu scold her nephew again.

Who was Sun Mo?

God Hands, a spirit runist great ancestor, the youngest 5-stars great teacher in history. Any of these titles contained a weight heavy enough that no crown prince could afford to disrespect and slight it.

One could say that Sun Mo was the brightest star in Great Tang. (If you act like this, you might truly drive him away.)

If Sun Mo decided to migrate or not teach people of Great Tang anymore, this would be an immense loss to Great Tang.

Li Xuan gritted his teeth and felt extremely reluctant. But even so, he didnt dare to disobey Li Xius order. He could only lower his head. Great Teacher Sun, I

Theres no need to apologize!

Sun Mo rejected. As the emperor, its okay if one doesnt have extraordinary capabilities. Its okay if their charisma isnt great enough to convince everyone. They can even lead an arrogant, dissolute, and sinful life, feasting on meat and wine daily. However, they cannot have bad judgment. As the emperor, the most basic requirement is to know how to select suitable people for suitable missions. If not, your country should simply wait to be annihilated!

Bzz!

A great teacher halo was unleashed. Priceless Advice had activated.

Li Xuans body trembled, as he felt a sense of enlightenment.

Look at you. You cant even tell how your opponents are cheating. Also, you are incredibly stubborn and even refused to listen to the instructions of your esteemed personal teacher. Someone like you is precisely the image of an emperor that would destroy his own country!

Sun Mo was very angry the moment he thought of how the common people would suffer when a fool wanted to control a country.

Li Xuans mind was in chaos. He wanted to rebut but couldnt find any words for a time.

Your highness, quickly apologize!

Li Xiu berated and her tone already became very severe. Great Teacher Sun is educating you and this is your fortune. Dont forget your gratitude and morals!

Since Priceless Advice had activated, it meant that Sun Mo had no other motives and was purely speaking to wake Li Xuan up. Just this debt of gratitude alone was enough for Li Xuan to bow to him.

Great Teacher Sun, I was in the wrong earlier and have offended you!

Li Xuan was still unwilling.

Li Lin stood in the crowd and looked at the golden light radiating from Sun Mo, which made him seem like an immortal. She felt her heart being stirred as her eyes glowed.

I wonder if he would accept me as his student?

Li Lin felt worried.

The sound of the bugle-horn rang out, reminding everyone that the second part of the zither battle was about to start.

Great Teacher Sun, what should we do?

Li Xiu was worried.

Just relax!

Sun Mo looked at Li Ziqi. Do your best, but remember not to over-stretch your limits. You have to be especially careful of Wei Wu`an and Jiang Yuzhen!

Sun Mo naturally didnt care who would win or lose.

In any case, he wasnt the group leader!

Actually, Sun Mo wanted to help Li Xuan on account of Li Ziqi. However, Li Xuans attitude made him give up.

Dont eat the medicine anymore, just give up directly!

Han Cangshui saw the pleading gaze in Li Xuans eyes and directly commanded him to give up.

I understand!

Li Xuans expression turned dim.

Han Cangshui then glanced at Ying Baiwu and the others. A hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

For Sun Mo, they actually didnt mind going against the crown prince of an empire. Truly tyrannical!

Han Cangshuis society experience was simply too much. This was why he could tell that these students werent putting up an act. They truly didnt mind using their lives to guard Sun Mos prestige.

The five prince groups all went up the stage.

Their ensembles consisted of different musical instruments. Only by doing so would performing together like this not seem monotonous.

The competition begins now!

The ceremonial officer waved a little flag. Xia Taikang instantly took action and strummed the strings of his instrument.

Zeng!

The expressions of the other participants suddenly changed because they felt that the musical instruments in their hands, especially so for stringed instruments like guzhengs and pipas, actually started strumming by themselves.

As expected of the famous zither Phoenix!

Xiang Zhao praised greatly, after that, he also strummed the strings of his pipa!

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The musical notes were like pearls landing on a jade plate. The clinking sound actually suppressed Phoenix!

Li Guinian stroked his beard. Just solely based on musical skills, Xiang Zhao was undoubtedly the strongest.

Jiang Yuzhen liked to be aggressive when fighting wars. This was the same in the war discussion. Hence, the sounds of a kings voice shouting commands to his army immediately echoed out as the army that manifested from her music joined the chaotic battle.

Wei Wu`an crossed his arms before his chest and listened. He wasnt in a hurry to play music.

Let us begin!

Li Xuan urged. After he drew in a deep breath, he started playing. It was just that his tune was completely engulfed and swallowed up by the waters of the chaotic battle that was already raging. His music couldnt cause a ripple at all.

Li Guinian shook his head and truly couldnt bear to watch. This young fellow wasnt just a level weaker compared to the other participants. His skill level was simply profaning this competition.

Li Xuan also discovered this problem, feeling awkward and embarrassed. He truly didnt want to follow his teachers order and wanted to eat another alchemy pill. However, he was worried that he couldnt win despite doing so. If that was the case, he would have wasted another chance.

Although this type of alchemy pill could elevate ones potential, there were side effects too. Hence, one must not eat too much of it.

Oh no!

The more Li Xuan panicked, the more mistakes he made. The tempo turned chaotic.

Its over, he lost even before fighting!

Li Lin was depressed. If she knew this would be the case, she wouldnt have come up to embarrass herself.

Li Ziqi frowned. This situation was truly dire.

At this moment, three streams of music rang out, suppressing each other mutually.

Xia Taikang and Jiang Yuzhens styles were similar, and they were like ferocious horses and war chariots, wanting to crush everything before them directly with brute force. However, Xiang Zhaos music style was like the spring rain, nourishing everything silently.

And at this moment, Wei Wu`an acted.

Zheng!

His music rang out and everyone felt their hearts shuddering as though a gigantic rock had been tossed in the lake of their hearts, causing multiple ripples to form.

Everyone no longer spoke as they were fully immersed in this battle of music.

It hadnt even been a minute and Li Xuan was the first to stop.

Bang!

Li Xuan punched his guzheng before leaving in a fury.

The other three in his group had astonishment on their faces, feeling embarrassed. Li Lin then hastened her steps and wanted to quickly leave the stage. Such a performance was truly too embarrassing.

She originally wanted to use this chance to display her skills and boost her fame. But who could have expected that Li Xuan was so weak!

Li Lin walked a few steps away but discovered Li Ziqi didnt move. Hence, she called out to her.

Ziqi, leave quickly!

Right now, the longer they stayed on the stage, the more embarrassing it would be for them.

However, the little sunny egg didnt move. Instead, her hands were placed on the strings of her zither. After focusing her mind, she activated a great teacher halo.

Bzz~

A resplendent light shone from the little sunny egg and illuminated the stage.

Xia Taikang isnt a worry for me. As for Xiang Zhao, his technique is useless against me. The troublesome one is Wu Wei`an. How should I break the spell cast by his ancient zither?!

Jiang Yuzhen was analyzing the battle situation, but at this moment, a princess from the Great Tangs prince group that had lost suddenly stood out.

Sigh, competing with these people in a battle of zither is truly disparaging my skills!

Xiang Zhao found this extremely boring because even if these people won, they didnt win by relying on their zither skills. But at this moment, a light so bright flashed and it almost blinded him.

Hmph, if I use my full strength, all of you will have to die!

Xia Taikang felt contempt. But an instant later, his brows furrowed as he looked at Li Ziqi.

A bunch of salted fishes!

Wu Wei`an confidently continued playing. All of a sudden, his heart trembled as he turned and looked at Li Ziqi.

Its Lingering Sound!

Lu Zhiruo cheered. Our eldest martial sister is going to unleash her impressiveness!

As the Lingering Sound took effect, Li Ziqi started to play a music piece and the intense musical notes immediately flowed from her fingertips.

Li Guinians expression changed. This music piece was one he had never heard before!

The others who knew music were also stunned.

This was because the music piece Li Ziqi was playing was simply too bizarre.

Is this music piece something you taught her? Li Xiu glanced at Sun Mo. Might I enquire what is the name of it?

Despair!

Sun Mo uttered the word. He didnt expect that the little sunny egg would use an EDM music piece to break the situation. However, this type of music, which could cause people to involuntarily shake their legs when they heard it, was the most suitable to replace the position of the host.

Because the power of influence from this type of music was extremely intense.

Even people who didnt understand music would involuntarily shake their legs to the beat.

Hhuh?

Li Xiu didnt understand.

Although the other four played very well, at this moment, they were all suppressed by Li Ziqi.

Li Xuan, who had just walked off the stage, turned his head in astonishment upon hearing this. He then saw his younger sister fighting against the four other prince groups despite being alone. His countenance immediately turned unsightly.

(If she won, where can I put my face? No! Thats impossible, how can she?)
