Dragon Martial Sword Supreme

At the same time, everyone's gaze converged on Zhao Letian.

Many people showed impatience and even disgust in their eyes.

Zhao Letian was the last one to arrive at the banquet today, which had already displeased them.

Now, while everyone was heaping praise on Princess Ye Siyu, Zhao Letian remained silent, seemingly aloof, inevitably giving the impression of being pretentious.

However, they didn't know that Zhao Letian was not intentionally being pretentious and never had such a trivial thought.

It's just that his feelings were very different from others, and expressing them might be inappropriate, possibly making the atmosphere at the scene very awkward.

Adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble, he kept his thoughts to himself.

Yet, even so, he still managed to displease those people.

But that's normal: Among geniuses, personal talent and strength are highly regarded, but so are background and cultivation level.

Those geniuses already looked down on Zhao Letian, who only had the cultivation of True Martial Seventh Realm.

Moreover, given Zhao Letian's ordinary background, which they considered lowly, those so-called geniuses despised him even more, thinking that his presence in the same room was an insult to them.

Generally speaking, among the dozens of geniuses from the Four Great Kingdoms, Zhao Letian stood out like a sore thumb, like a poor boy from the countryside among a group of top wealthy young masters, facing disdain and contempt, which was not surprising at all.

However, Zhao Letian didn't care about their opinions. He came to the Royal Capital of Dajin Country not to please these geniuses, but to participate in the contest of the Imperial Secret Realm.

They might dislike him, but it's best not to provoke him, or else they would be responsible for the consequences.

"Brother Zilong, what's the matter? Don't tell me you think my sister's qin skills are too mediocre to catch your eye, and not even worth commenting on?"

Seeing Zhao Letian not answering immediately, Ye Chenxiao frowned slightly, his tone turning slightly cold.

"Second Prince, I've already said, some people simply don't understand music. What could he possibly discern? Asking him is just a waste of time."

Xiao Yan from Skyfire Country scoffed disdainfully once again.

Although Skyfire Country had ostensibly given up on the Purple Lotus Demon Fire and stopped pursuing Lin Yu's death, they would never forget this grudge and would find an opportunity to retaliate, thus naturally, they would not show a pleasant face to Zhao Letian.

"Although I don't understand music, I can tell that the Princess's melody expresses the longing for a loved one, not some frivolous romantic sentiment."

Zhao Letian couldn't bother to look at Xiao Yan and responded indifferently.

"Longing for a loved one? Ha! That's laughable. If you don't understand, don't pretend to, why make such a scene? Do you think you're better than all of us? We all misunderstood but only you got it right? What a joke!"

Xiao Yan sneered coldly.

"Exactly, stop pretending."

"If you don't understand, just say so. No one will laugh at you. Why put on airs?"

Others also joined in the mockery.

Zhao Letian expressed a different opinion, effectively offending everyone present, naturally they did not show him any favor.

Especially those from Gray Wolf Kingdom such as Wanyan Zheng, who revealed a schadenfreude sneer on their faces.

Prince Ye Chenxiao also furrowed his brows.

Zhao Letian's response was indeed inappropriate. If he were wrong, it would have been fine, but if he was correct, it would be akin to slapping the faces of all the other geniuses.

However, in Princess Ye Siyu's beautiful eyes, a look of surprise and appreciation appeared.

Indeed, among all the men present, only Zhao Letian answered correctly.

What her music conveyed was the longing for her loved ones, not any romantic affections.

The reason why others sensed romantic affections was entirely because they prejudged upon seeing the stunning beauty of Ye Siyu, harboring impure thoughts, which naturally led them to associate the music with romantic affections.

Only Zhao Letian, with a pure mind devoid of any lustful thoughts, was able to discern the true meaning in Ye Siyu's music.

"Does the young master also understand music? Could you find an opportunity to enlighten Siyu?"

After a moment of surprise, Ye Siyu suddenly smiled and spoke to Zhao Letian.

Although others couldn't see her smiling face beneath her mask, they could imagine that it must be a breathtakingly beautiful smile.

However, at this moment, there was no trace of infatuation on the faces of the crowd; rather, they all frowned, looking rather displeased.

Obviously, Ye Siyu's words meant to tell everyone that only Zhao Letian had answered correctly, and these people who considered themselves knowledgeable in music were utterly defeated, none of them answered correctly, it was like a resounding slap across their faces, causing them to lose all their dignity.

"Princess is joking. How could I know anything about music? I was merely talking nonsense."

Zhao Letian smiled lightly, dismissing the matter nonchalantly.

He wasn't being modest; in fact, he was telling the truth: he had never learned anything about music and naturally couldn't claim to understand it.

However, hearing his response, the others felt so frustrated they could almost spit blood.

If Zhao Letian, who knew nothing about music, could guess correctly just by talking nonsense, didn't that mean they, the so-called musical geniuses, were purely spouting nonsense?

Thus, Zhao Letian's words became a great humiliation for them.

"Sir is being humble. This is my token; with this, you may come to the Royal Palace anytime to discuss music with me."

Ye Siyu didn't believe Zhao Letian's modesty. A Spirit Light flashed in her hand, she took out a Jade Token and tossed it to Zhao Letian, then stopped talking and stood up, leaving the banquet hall.

Holding the exquisite Jade Token, feeling the residual warmth and scent of a beautiful woman on it, Zhao Letian frowned.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he had always tried to keep his distance from the women of this world, but things always went contrary to his wishes. Reflecting on it, wherever he went, he inevitably made a few close female friends. Now, he had just arrived in the Royal Capital of Dajin Country and had already caught the special attention of the Dajin Princess. He truly did not know whether this was a blessing or a curse.

Meanwhile, seeing the Princess Token in Zhao Letian's hands, envy and jealousy uncontrollably emerged in the eyes of the assembled crowd.

Everyone knew that Princess Ye Siyu was of marriageable age, and Prince Ye Chenxiao likely had the intention of letting her meet with top talents from the Four Great Kingdoms today to choose a fitting husband. Many among them had fantasized about being chosen, but to their surprise, the selected one turned out to be Zhao Letian, the rural poor boy whom they had looked down upon.
