Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 272: It’s Up To You


After a while, Zheng-Fu reached the end of the song. And when he turned around, Zheng-Fu saw that the two elders had happy expressions on their faces.

Ahem!

Ah!!!

As soon as Zheng-Fu coughed slightly, the two elders immediately awoke from the dream that they had been enchanted by the music just now. With an embarrassed expression on his face, Elder Yan could not say anything before he suppressed his embarrassment and said, "Not bad, kid! The song just now...?"

"The song just now? Oh... It's called... 'Challenging Wulin!'" Zheng-Fu said with a smile at Elder Yan. He knew that Elder Yan certainly would not know it because it was a song he remembered from his previous life.

"Challenging Wulin!?"

Both Elder Yan and the elderly woman exclaimed in unison. It was as Zheng-Fu thought; the two did not know this song. Elder Yan said, "Then how does your song 'Challenging Wulin'…"

"Elder came out like this, is my harp finished?" Zheng-Fu hurriedly cut off Elder Yan when he saw what the latter wanted to say.

Elder Yan immediately swallowed the words down his throat with a pale face before replying, "It's nearly done. I just took my wife out for a walk to see the birds in the trees. You don't have to worry about it. I've already finished it as scheduled." Elder Yan moved toward his wife and hugged her before leading the elderly woman to walk away.

"Don't admit it, right?... Hehehe!!! Well, that's good, Elder Yan. I also want to know how long you can stay stubborn?" Zheng-Fu said with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth. He thought of trying to test that stubborn and hard-headed old man like Elder Yan to see how long he could endure if he played another song that the Elder did not know.

Tue due due... Tue due due... @#!!@!#!#!# (Assuming this is a beautiful song)

Huh...?

As soon as Elder Yan heard Zheng-Fu's song, his ears immediately rose, and he tilted his head to listen intently. But at that moment, Zheng-Fu suddenly stopped playing, causing Elder Yan to be somewhat annoyed because he was enjoying listening.

But as he thought of walking to curse Zheng-Fu, who had suddenly stopped playing, he had to pause. Because he realized that he had nothing to do with this matter and had no right to blame Zheng-Fu, he could only walk away with an annoyed expression. But just as Elder Yan was about to leave, Zheng-Fu picked up the flute and played again, and the song he played changed to another one.

Woo woo woo!!! Woo woo woo!!!

Huh....?

And the new song that Zheng-Fu performed was equally as melodious as the previous songs. But after playing for a while, he stopped playing again before taking a long sigh and saying, "Sigh... What song should I play? This song is melodious. That song is so sweet. Oh my!

Troubling indeed!"

Zheng-Fu said with an annoyed expression. But his mind was filled with a smile. If anyone saw, he had to know that Zheng-Fu was smiling till his mouth almost reached his ears.

"Huh...! Rising! Falling! Keep cool... Keep cool!!"

In contrast to Elder Yan, his face was now covered with many bulging veins because he was very attentive to the music that Zheng-Fu had played, but Zheng-Fu stopped playing whenever he was about to get into the mood of the music. Thus, it caused Elder Yan to lose his temper. But he could not do anything to Zheng-Fu. He wanted to tell Zheng-Fu to finish playing the songs, but he could not as well.

"Huh...? What is it, Elder Yan? Why is your face red like that? Or is the sun out here too strong?" Zheng-Fu looked at Elder Yan and asked, pretending not to know what had happened and why Elder Yan's face was such red.

"Yo... you!!!"

Ha ha ha!!!

"You're being teased by a kid, Old Man!?" The elderly woman heartily laughed when she saw that her husband had been roused by Zheng-Fu until he got mad like that.

"How can you say that I am being teased? It's nothing at all!" Elder Yan still had a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened. Then he turned back towards his smelter. But as he was about to step inside...

Woo woo woo!!!

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded after the first note of the flute was blown out. Then the second note rang out, with an energy wave emitted rhythmically following the sound of the flute while its beautiful voice did not fade away.

"That... that's a martial battle skill? Why was it so violent?" This time, Elder Yan's expression was utterly shocked, even more than the first time he heard Zheng-Fu's song, and the elderly woman as well. Both of them had never seen such a beautiful and powerful martial battle skill before.

"He should have used a martial battle skill. Judging from the energy waves the flute emitted, it probably is. But I don't know what kind of martial skill it is because, on this continent, there are only a handful of people who use instruments as weapons. And we all know them and have seen their martial skills.

But the skill this child uses is…" the elderly woman doubtfully said because she did not know what skill Zheng-Fu was using.

Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!

Every time Zheng-Fu blew, the flute caused the waves to be compressed into a large note, then floated out to bump into the ground and cause a large hole. And the skill that Zheng-Fu used was one that he invented himself. The name of this skill was 'Reverberating Flute.'

"Great! This flute can really support the energy. Even though I put the high level of the Golden Core stage to the medium level of the Nascent Soul stage, it can still support energy and excellently use the skill." Zheng-Fu muttered in his throat, admiring the flute Elder Yan created with a very low voice that only he could hear. "Kid!

What skill do you use just now?" Finally, Elder Yan could not help but walk toward Zheng-Fu with a curious face, asking him with doubt.

"It's just a general skill... But why? Is something wrong, Elder?" Zheng-Fu made a dazed face and asked Elder Yan with a slightly higher tone.

"Nothing much. I've just never seen this skill before. So I want to know what skill it is and to whom it belongs. That's all," Elder Yan replied with a slightly disappointed expression that Zheng-Fu refused to answer directly.

"This skill is called 'Reverberating Flute Skill.' It's a medium level of intermediate skill of my own clan," Zheng-Fu told the truth but did not tell it all. He did not say that he invented it while learning to play music. If he told them, these two elders would not believe him anyway, so Zheng-Fu decided that it would be better not to tell them about it.

"Reverberating Flute Skill!? Is this the skill of your clan? But what clan are you from?" Elder Yan immediately continued with curiosity.

"I'm from Tian-Tang. My name is Zheng-Fu," Zheng-Fu replied with a smile on his face.

Tian-Tang Clan!?

"Tian-Tang Clan, which is a big clan in the small town of In-See City, right?" Elder Yan spoke with a curious expression when he heard from which clan Zheng-Fu came. Even though he stayed on this mountain peak now, he had previously roamed the battlefield, so he knew almost every area in this region.

"Yes, sir. Elder said correctly. I'm from the Tian-Tang Clan, as you said." Zheng-Fu still replied openly, as usual, with a smile on his face.

"Young man... as far as I can remember, no one in the Tian-Tang Clan had any knowledge of musical ability. So how does your clan have musical martial art battle skills?" The elderly woman who was listening began thinking and analyzing until she realized that his clan did not have any single musical martial arts master. So how could they have the martial arts skill of the musical instrument?

"Ha ha ha! On that matter, I can't tell you because it's an internal matter of my clan. I'm sorry. Unless you are under the affiliation of my clan only, then I can tell you," Zheng-Fu let out a laugh, then a smile, tugging at the corner of his mouth as he spoke as if it hinted at something.

Huh huh huh!!!

"Is that so!? Alright, kid. I'm just asking. I didn't want to know that much!" Elder Yan, hearing that, could immediately understand what Zheng-Fu meant, so he hurriedly cut off and kept his expression blank. However, in his heart, there was still a slight hesitation about what Zheng-Fu had said just now.

"Oh… If you're not interested, then that's fine. Then you can start making the harp for me again, right?" Zheng-Fu also made a face as if he did not say anything and switched to talking about the harp that Elder Yan had left behind because he had to bring it back to the two kids tomorrow.

"I know already!" Having finished speaking, Elder Yan immediately walked into his smelter with a look of frustration and displeasure. His expression was so easy to read what he was thinking.

"Young man, Old Man Yan was always like that. Because whatever it's about the instruments, he'll be interested in them all. Especially the song you played and the martial arts skill you performed just now. Even I myself couldn't help but feel excited when I saw it," said the elderly woman with a smiling face after Elder Yan had entered the smelter.

"Haha, Grandma admired me too much. But what Grandma saw was only part of it. I have some more songs. Also, the martial art battle skill that I performed was only a few notes, and there were still dozens of them left," Zheng-Fu said in a rather loud voice while smiling at the corner of his mouth because he knew that Elder Yan was still eavesdropping at the front door of the smelter.

Huh!!!?

"There are still many songs? And the skill that you performed just now was only a few notes!!!" The elderly woman said it with a shocked expression because she did not think that Zheng-Fu had many songs that she had never heard before, including the musical martial arts skill that he played just now, which was only part of it.

Bang!!!

"It's ludicrous!!! Kid, don't lie and deceive my wife! I can't believe that you have more songs or that the skill that you performed just now is only part of it!!!" Suddenly, Elder Yan opened the door without anyone even realizing it, shouting curses and saying that he did not believe what Zheng-Fu said just now was true.

"It's up to you! I'm not forcing you to believe this... By the way, are you eavesdropping on our conversation?" Zheng-Fu said with a disturbing look at Elder Yan and asked.

"Y...you!!!"
