Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 206: My mother taught me

The young master couldn’t resist at all as the sound wave picked him up off the ground and sent him flying through the air.

When he landed, he was off the stage.

The crowd had already moved out of the way so that they wouldn’t be hit by this young master when he landed.

He had a dazed look on his face, but no one cared about him since they were all focused on the music coming from Mu Bao Bao’s zither.

Her hands skillfully plucked the strings of the zither as she played, moving with an elegance that the young master didn’t have when he was playing the zither.

With the way that she was playing, it was clear who was better between the two of them. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

With the way that she was playing, it was almost as if one was the teacher and the other was the student.

That was just how much of a gap was between the two of them in terms of zither skills.

Everyone had already forgotten about the music that the young master had played before as they sunk themselves into Mu Bao Bao’s music. They completely lost themselves in the tune of her zither.

It was even so deep and meaningful that they felt like they were seeing cherry blossoms floating in the air.

Even my group was stunned when we heard her playing since we never expected Mu Bao Bao to be this skilled at playing the zither. With how she had acted before, this definitely was not something that I thought was part of her skill set.

However, I had to admit that she really was an otherworldly beauty when she played the zither like this.

She was just shining on stage as she played her zither.

I was pulled out of this daze by a voice that came from my back.

"She reminds me of her mother when she plays her zither like this."

I could hear the sad tone that was in this voice and I turned my head to see that there was a little white fox that was on my back.

It wasn’t surprising to see Mu Huang, but it was surprising to see him appear out of nowhere like this. After all, he should have been with Liu Han and the other elders who were watching from afar.

They didn’t participate directly since this was a comparison between the younger generation, so they didn’t want to influence anyone.

Of course, they didn’t go too far so that they wouldn’t be able to do anything if something happened.

As an elder, Mu Huang should have been with them.

But here he was on my back.

If I had to guess, it was most likely his ’good brother’ Liu Han who brought him here.

Those two daughtercons had bonded over their obsessive love for their daughters...

But I didn’t tease Mu Huang in this situation since I could hear the sadness in his voice.

I knew that something must have happened for him to have this kind of sadness in his voice.

When Mu Bao Bao finished playing, I thought I saw something in the corner of her eyes. It flickered for a second before disappearing without a trace.

With how fast it had disappeared, it almost seemed like I had been mistaken.

However, I could have sworn that I saw it.

She didn’t even bother talking to anyone as she picked up her zither and put it away. Then with her head held up high, she walked over to where I was and looked at me as if she was asking to be praised.

There was a bitter smile that crept onto my lips, but I still raised my hand and patted her on her head.

At the same time, Liu Ao Xue also came over and patted her shoulder to praise her as well.

Mu Bao Bao surprisingly accepted Liu Ao Xue’s praise and even looked at her with a strange look. The way that the two of them looked at each other, it was almost as if they were bonding over something.

I didn’t really understand what, but I also didn’t bother staying here any longer.

With the commotion that Mu Bao Bao caused, there was no doubt that we wouldn’t be able to stay here any longer without causing a large scene. So I just waved my hand and led everyone away to watch something else.

But as we were walking away, I couldn’t help asking, "Who taught you to play the zither like that?"

There was a strange look that appeared on Mu Bao Bao’s face when I asked this.

She didn’t say a thing, but I could tell that there was something about this question that seemed to weigh heavy on her.

So I said, "You don’t have to answer if you don’t..."

Before I could finish, Mu Bao Bao cut me off by saying, "My mother was the one that taught me. This zither and the lessons that she gave me were one of the few things that she left me."

It really felt like I had stepped on a landmine the moment that I heard this answer and there was an awkward silence that hung in the air.

From behind, I could feel the glare coming from the little white fox who was now on Gao Fu Shuai’s back.

Since Mu Bao Bao didn’t like seeing him, Mu Huang did what he could to hide himself when she was around. Though it was clear that this hurt him very much to do so.

But even if he hid himself, that didn’t mean that he didn’t try to make things bad for me.

Which was why he was glaring at me now.

Though in a sense, this was deserved since I was the one that stepped on a landmine.

As such...

I reached out and patted Mu Bao Bao on the head again before saying, "It’s fine, you don’t have to say anything. You’re with us now."

Mu Bao Bao looked up at me in silence for a bit before giving a firm nod and revealing a smile.

Mu Huang looked like he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry seeing this, but he was happy to see that there was someone that could take his daughter’s loneliness away.

If it wasn’t for his mistake in the past...
