Chapter 32: Learning to play the flute

"Eating chicken is such a beautiful thing!"

Lu Xiaoji subconsciously smelled the roast chicken in his hand.

Then his tone changed.

"Dead hag, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"

Hearing Lu Xiaoji's words, Xie Liting was instantly furious.

"Brother, look at him, hurry and help me teach him a lesson."

Hearing his sister's words, Xie Wuqing's expression became gloomy.

He could let anyone bully him, but he couldn't let anyone bully his sister.

"What's wrong, you sister-doting maniac, do you want to make a move on me?"

Before, Lu Xiaoji would have been afraid of Xie Wuqing.

But now, he was also a Master Realm ability user.

"Lu Xiaoji, don't think that just because you broke through to the Master Realm, you can be smug."

"Today I'll let you see that there are differences even in the Master Realm."

Saying this, Xie Wuqing condensed water currents in both hands.

Xie Wuqing was a first-stage Master Realm ability user with the A-level ability [Water Current Manipulation].

Just as Xie Wuqing was about to fight Lu Xiaoji.

Boom!

Snap!

The door of the seclusion room slowly opened.

Chen Hao walked out from inside.

He stretched.

"Ah, refreshing!"

Chen Hao felt his whole body was full of power.

This breakthrough had absorbed too much energy, and his body was filled with too much ability energy, causing his whole body to feel a bit bloated.

Chen Hao now wanted to do one thing.

That was to have a hearty battle.

"Brother, look, that bastard is out."

Hearing this, Xie Wuqing immediately changed his attack target.

Pfft!

He condensed a water column in his right hand and charged toward Chen Hao.

"What's the situation?"

Although he didn't know what had happened.

But Chen Hao would still fight back.

He condensed flames in his right hand and threw them toward the water column.

Boom!

Both sides began to clash with energy waves.

A pillar of fire battled a pillar of water.

Xie Wuqing was somewhat shocked.

He had assumed that since Chen Hao had just broken through to the first stage of the Master Realm, he could easily handle him.

He had not expected the opponent to be able to fight him to a standstill.

Both sides entered a stalemate.

Seeing this, Xie Liting, who was on the sidelines, could not help but speak up: "Brother, I'll come help you."

Xie Liting opened her umbrella, preparing to activate her [Rain Maiden] ability.

But Lu Xiaoji blocked her path.

"Little Chicken Lu, what are you trying to do?"

"This matter has nothing to do with the Rain Maiden!"

"Xie Liting, you want to deal with my Brother Hao, how can you say this matter has nothing to do with me?"

"Your Brother Hao?"

"Hmph, you two are truly birds of a feather."

Just as Xie Liting prepared to make a move:

"Hold your hand."

"What, are you scared?"

"It's not that I'm scared, but have you forgotten something?"

As Lu Xiaoji spoke, he wagged his finger in front of Xie Liting.

Xie Liting seemed to recall some terrifying memory and subconsciously clamped her legs together.

"You stinking hooligan."

"Hey, that's right."

"Be a good girl and listen, good babies get candy."

"Bad babies..." Lu Xiaoji said, extending his right index finger.

Hearing this, Xie Liting's face turned black instantly.

She wanted to curse, but she didn't dare.

She was terrified that Lu Xiaoji would give her another shot.

That one time before, she had been in so much pain she lay in bed for three days.

Even now, thinking about it made her ache faintly.

The battle between Chen Hao and Xie Wuqing reached its conclusion.

Chen Hao's flames crushed Xie Wuqing's water flow.

Thud!

Xie Wuqing was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Xie Wuqing looked at Chen Hao with some shock.

He had thought himself a heaven-favored genius, but he hadn't expected that there were heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people—someone was even stronger than him.

"What is the deal with this guy?"

"Why does he have more ability energy in his body than me when he just broke through?"

Xie Wuqing could not fathom it.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Xie Liting ran over and helped Xie Wuqing up.

"I'm fine."

Xie Wuqing gave Chen Hao a cold look.

"Today's matter is noted."

"Remember this, I will definitely settle the score for today."

With that, Xie Wuqing left.

Seeing this, Chen Hao felt it was inexplicable.

He had been cultivating perfectly well, and yet people came looking for trouble for no reason.

Lu Xiaoji walked over at this moment.

He comforted Chen Hao: "Brother Hao, don't be angry."

"Those two siblings are just like that."

"They act recklessly; it's not just you—others have been provoked by them too."

"But Brother Hao, you're truly awesome."

"You're the first person to defeat him."

As Lu Xiaoji spoke, he looked at Chen Hao with an expression of worship.

"By the way, Brother Hao, this is the roast chicken I packed for you."

"Eat it while it's hot."

"Good."

Chen Hao took the roast chicken Lu Xiaoji handed over.

He was indeed hungry, so he didn't stand on ceremony and started eating immediately.

Before long, a whole roast chicken was in Chen Hao's stomach.

The next few days.

Aside from cultivating, Chen Hao did nothing but cultivate.

He had thoroughly stabilized his realm.

After stabilizing his realm, Chen Hao remembered one thing.

That was to put learning to play the flute on his agenda.

He took out his phone and looked it up.

He found an instrument studio with a decent reputation.

Following the address on his phone, he headed to this instrument studio.

"Commoner Instrument Studio."

Chen Hao glanced at the sign.

"Just don't know if the prices are 'commoner' as well."

Chen Hao pushed the door open and walked in.

The Commoner Instrument Studio was located in a corner.

But precisely because of that, the space inside was exceptionally large.

"Welcome, is there anything I can help you with?"

A woman wearing an apron, looking like a woman in her prime, smiled at Chen Hao.

"Hello, I'm here to learn how to play the flute."

"Play the flute?"

The woman paused, then said: "Perfect, we just hired a flute teacher recently."

"Hey, Little Lin, come over here."

The proprietress saw someone passing by not far away.

"Proprietress, what's wrong?"

A woman wearing a white dress walked over.

Chen Hao looked toward the woman.

He discovered the woman was quite pretty, with fair skin and hair cascading down like a waterfall.

Her whole person exuded a quiet and peaceful aura.

"This guest says he wants to learn to play the flute."

"Take him to try out a lesson."

"Okay."
