Chapter 196 Selected List

"Not bad!"

Qingyan, who is a senior musician in the Musicians' Mansion, nodded with satisfaction when he saw the students from the Divine Music Academy wearing purple robes after the performance.

This time, there are only ten places to be selected for the Musicians' House, which have been decided long ago. Among them, six are from the Kagura Academy and four are ordinary musicians. Now it is just a formality.

The Sea Empire has existed for so many years. Except for the positions that must be held by the royal family, other rights have long been divided up. The network of interests inside is so intricate that no one without connections can enter the circle.

Those civilian musicians who don't know why still dream of becoming palace musicians and rising to the top in one step is simply a dream.

In the eyes of Qingyan and others, he is as funny as a clown.

The civilian musicians came forward one after another and performed their best songs diligently. There were no amazingly talented people among them, but there were some outstanding characters who were refreshing.

Qingyan wrote down the opponent's name and characteristics one by one, and planned to take him under his wing after the selection and compose music for himself.

There are also internal assessments in the Musicians' Mansion. Purple-robed musicians like him must produce new music every once in a while, otherwise their salary will be deducted, or they may even be promoted.

The musicians in the Musician's Mansion start from the lowest white robe, followed by blue robe, purple robe, silver robe, gold robe, and the highest black robe.

In the Sea Empire, black is respected!

In addition to the reason why the skin of the royal family of the Sea Empire is black, it is also because blackness costs water.

Although Zipao is only ranked at the third level, he still has an extraordinary status outside and enjoys higher treatment than some Jindan guards. He has managed to get through it, so he naturally does not want to be demoted.

It's not just him, any musician who works in the musician's house doesn't have a few diners who are composers.

These diners are usually unsuccessful folk musicians with low cultivation and they like to play music. They really deserve to be squeezed.

This is not only Qingyan’s idea, but also the idea of ​​all the musicians in the Music Master’s House.

It seems that after they added the Musician's Mansion, they became noble.

Just when Qingyan and the others felt that this selection was going smoothly, a young man from the Black Snake Tribe came on stage.

Judging from his appearance alone, he is not very old. The sea tribe has its own method of analyzing age, which is not much different from humans.

Young sea people like this are often more keen on pursuing palace guards or chamberlains who can be promoted faster, so not many come to join the Musician's Mansion.

Of course, this does not mean that there are few young musicians, but that musicians of this age are usually not very skilled and will not humiliate themselves.

The young snake man took out his own musical instrument. It was not the most popular harp of the sea tribe, but the nine-stringed harp that was widely spread in the human region.

The strings emit a faint white light, which repels the surrounding sea water, allowing the sound to escape smoothly.

Faint thoughts and sorrow turned into notes, jumping out from the strings and falling into the ears of everyone present.

There is not a word in the melody, but it outlines a beautiful, pure, sad and tragic love story in everyone's heart, making people unconsciously immersed in it for a long time.

Just one song!

It took a while for anyone to react.

Bang bang bang!

I don't know who it was, but it actually clapped, and then it was spread to ten, ten, and hundreds. Except for the students of the Divine Music Academy and the musicians of the Musician's House, everyone started to applaud.

Qing Yan's expression was ugly, not because he played too badly, but because he played too well.

He had never heard this piece of music before, and it was completely different from the current popular style. It was obviously a new composition by the other party, and he wanted to add two pieces together. It was so amazing.

Unfortunately, the personnel have already been decided, and now that the other party shows up, it will be difficult for him as the person in charge to handle it.

"What are you doing! What are you doing!"

Qingyan opened his mouth and scolded everyone, asking them to quiet down.

"The music you played is too unorthodox, and the tune is messy and flashy. When you go back, you should read more of the music published by the Musicians' Office! Next!"

Qingyan waved his hand and told the young snake man to retreat.

The young snake man's eyes flickered, and he silently retreated into the crowd, frowning slightly.

"Is there any mistake? The eternally famous song Butterfly Lovers in the previous life was actually rated as useless!"

Xu Mu was surprised and speechless.

Yes, the snake man he married was transformed into Xu Mu.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he did not hide his clumsiness and directly played one of the most famous ancient songs in his previous life. The result was as expected, and his skills were astonishing.

But the purple-robed musician from the Musician's Mansion didn't look happy.

"Looking at his expression just now, you can definitely tell that this piece of music is extraordinary!"

Xu Mu's mind flashed with thoughts, and he had a bad guess.

But whether it is exactly what he thought, we have to look at the final selection list to know.

After everyone finished their performance, Qing Yan led four blue-robed musicians into the back room to discuss the final selection list. Xu Mu and others stayed in the yard waiting for the results.

"I'm Han Rui! I'm really impressed by Brother Xu's song just now!"

Taking advantage of his free time, someone immediately came forward to say hello to Xu Mu.

Everyone is a musician, and they can still tell the quality of the music. Xu Mu is a step ahead of everyone in terms of music and piano skills. If nothing goes wrong, he will definitely be selected. Naturally, he will take this time to make a good friend.

"Brother Han, thank you for your praise, it was just an occasional bad work!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Brother Xu is so humble!"

Someone else came over.

"Yes! Yes! If this music score is included in the Yuefu Music Collection, I am afraid it will be famous all over the world immediately!"

Someone echoed.

"Thank you for your praise! Thank you for your praise!"

Xu Mu could only respond modestly.

Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, more and more people gathered around him, talking about him and praising him to the sky.

"With Brother Daoist Xu's ability, it is almost certain that he will join the Musician's Mansion! We must take good care of us in the future!"

"Yes! Yes! Take good care of me!"

Just when everyone was complimenting Xu Mu, the dozen or so students from the Divine Music Academy began to mock him in a strange way.

“It’s really a dream to join the Musicians’ House just because of that incomprehensible song!”

"Not bad! What the hell! Didn't you hear what the musician said just now?"

It is said that scholars look down upon each other, and it seems that musicians are no different.

Facing the ridicule from the students of Kagura Academy, the originally lively crowd suddenly became quiet.

No one spoke for Xu Mu.

The reason is also very simple. They are all real people. It is okay to flatter him a little, but it is really not worth offending the students of Kagura Academy for him.

There is a high chance that these students will become court musicians. As long as they want to join the musicians' mansion in the future, they will not dare to offend these people.

"Good is good, bad is bad. Don't you have ears? People say shit is delicious, so you guys should eat it too!"

Xu Mu retorted unceremoniously.

If this were his true form, he would choose to swallow his anger and protect himself wisely, but now he is a clone, not to mention that he was already in the limelight enough just now, and he doesn't care about being in the limelight anymore with his mouth.

"What did you say you trash!!"

Several leading Kagura Academy students were stunned for a moment and couldn't help but get furious.

"Who are you talking about trash?" Xu Mu asked.

"Trash talks about you!"

The students at Kagura Academy were furious.

"Oh! So that's what trash is talking about!"

Xu Mu pretended to be surprised.

"Haha! Uh-huh!"

The civilian musician who just reacted couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly covered his mouth.

"How dare you scold me, you bastard?" the student from Kagura Academy yelled angrily.

"Who are you calling a bastard?"

"You bastard...fuck you! I'll kill you!"

This group of students who only know how to study are Xu Mu's opponents, and they will fight with just a few words.

At this moment, Qingyan and the other five people walked out of the house.

"What are you doing!"

Qingyan scolded coldly, and the students at Kagura Academy immediately restrained themselves.

Qingyan swept away the group and said nothing more.

"Now I announce the selection!"

"Blood Branch, Ivy, Shui Xuan... that's it! If you didn't think of it, you can leave!"

After Qing Yan announced the list, everyone looked at Xu Mu unconsciously because he was not there.

Xu Mu frowned slightly and said nothing. He turned around and walked outside. The others looked at me and I looked at you and hurriedly walked outside.

Han Rui, who was the first to greet Xu Mu, caught up with Xu Mu and quickly transmitted the message with his spiritual mind.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you want to know why you were not selected?"
