Chapter 179

The entire group finally understood.

But... "Water Margin"? Su Meng's heart stirred.

In his past life, this TV series produced a legendary song!

That was the famous "Song of the Heroes"!

After thinking for a moment, Su Meng said with a grin.

"Liu Laoshi, since you've put it that way, I certainly want to give it a try."

"However... I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Speak!" Liu Huan's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest, agreeing immediately.

Su Meng felt a bit embarrassed.

"Liu Laoshi, since you've watched the show, you should know that half of the "Shanhe Tu", right?"

"This piece is a duet for male and female voices; the requirements for the female singer are also quite high. An ordinary person can't muster that kind of momentum."

"You are quite familiar with the domestic music scene, so... could you recommend a female singer for me?"

What? Liu Huan froze, his gaze on him growing stranger and stranger.

That look made Su Meng feel extremely uncomfortable all over.

After a moment, Liu Huan let out a long, low sigh, his tone carrying a hint of frustration at his inability to improve.

"Su Meng, you really are sitting on a treasure trove without even knowing it."

These words left Su Meng completely bewildered.

How am I sitting on a treasure trove? How do I not know that?

Liu Huan pointed at Bai Xiao Ling.

"Why look for anyone else? Look for Xiao Ling!"

Bai Xiao Ling? Su Meng looked at Bai Xiao Ling in surprise, also greatly taken aback.

They were already quite familiar; he didn't even know she could sing?

Liu Huan sighed, his tone somewhat complex.

"Xiao Ling's voice is simply unparalleled; it's as if Heaven itself is chasing her to feed her."

"Wide vocal range, versatile tone, she can almost master any female vocal song."

"If she were to enter the pop music scene, she would undoubtedly be a future diva."

"But she refuses to learn singing from me, insisting instead on playing the guzheng, erhu, and suona. Isn't that a waste of a precious talent?"

"And Old Hu is no better; just standing there watching a good talent get wasted like this?"

"When he fought me for her back then, he even cheated!"

"We agreed to settle it with a drinking contest for Xiao Ling, but he ended up calling a bunch of disciples to blow the suona right by my ear?"

"And they were all funeral tunes!"

"Who the hell could keep drinking under those circumstances?!"

Pfft pfft pfft~~~ A few stifled laughs came from the crowd.

But out of respect for Liu Huan's face, they kept it somewhat restrained.

Su Meng had no such restraint and burst out laughing, tears nearly streaming from his eyes.

Hu Zhengyuan looked gentle, elegant, and kind; who would have thought he was so cunningly malicious?

Just imagining Liu Huan drinking wine while a group of people played mournful suona tunes beside him made the scene too beautiful to bear!

With his old tricks exposed, Hu Zhengyuan felt a bit of his face slip.

"You have the nerve to say that? You're no good yourself!"

"For the past two years, you've been secretly teaching Xiao Ling to sing; do you think I don't know?"

"And you've been badmouthing me in front of Xiao Ling every day, damaging our master-disciple bond; do you think I don't know?"

Liu Huan was equally unconvinced.

"Don't you know what level Bai Xiao Ling is at?"

"Right now, in your traditional music department, how many teachers can actually teach her?"

"Not learning some singing is purely a waste of time!"

Instantly, the two big shots went all out, spittle flying everywhere, and started arguing.

Su Meng opened his mouth, looking at one then the other; he wanted to mediate but didn't know how.

Instead, Bai Xiao Ling whispered softly.

"Su Meng, don't worry about them; they do this often. Just get used to it."

Su Meng looked around and saw the crowd with expressions of complete nonchalance.

They were even lining up to get melon seeds from the eldest senior sister.

Who knows why Qin Qianyan carries melon seeds with her at all times!

Su Meng felt a bit numb.

I finally understand now why this group of artists are all like this.

If the beam above is crooked, how can you expect the beam below to be straight?

Truly, they are worthy of being direct disciples!

After thinking for a moment, Su Meng whispered softly.

"Xiao Ling, I'll give you the lyrics and music for "Shanhe Tu" in the next couple of days; you give it a try too."

"If it works out, let's find time to record the song."

"Otherwise my fans are going to riot."

Bai Xiao Ling nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Su Meng thought for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and asked curiously.

"Xiao Ling, don't you play the guzheng? How good are you?"

Xiao Ling shook her head, a little embarrassed.

"My level is pretty average. Compared to you, I'm far behind."

Qin Qianyan had already edged over from the side and chimed in.

"Xiao Meng, her guzheng is indeed a bit worse than yours, but across the whole country, it's still top-tier."

"Let me put it this way — don't be fooled by the fact that she hasn't graduated yet. The guzheng principal seats of the three major folk orchestras are all being held for her."

"That's good." Su Meng chuckled.

"Then later I'll give you the sheet music for 'Rule the World' too."

"Practice it, then film a clip and post it on Bilibili."

"I'll say something to them and get them to push some traffic your way."

"Bilibili?" Bai Xiao Ling was also greatly surprised.

Su Meng nodded and added.

"Yeah, Bilibili."

"Oh right, when you post, don't use your real name. From now on, your Bilibili ID will be — Lord Thousand Fingers!"

Lord Thousand Fingers?

Bai Xiao Ling was instantly dumbfounded.

That name… is so chuunibyou!

But why does it also feel inexplicably hype?!

……

On the other side, the war between the two big shots had finally come to a temporary pause.

After all, this time Liu Huan was asking Hu Zhengyuan for a favor, so he ended up taking a bit of a loss.

Hu Zhengyuan had won this battle and was originally looking quite smug.

But when he turned and saw Su Meng, his face instantly stiffened.

Sigh… got too caught up in the argument, completely forgot Su Meng was over here.

My dignified image has completely collapsed… bah! It's all Old Liu's fault!

Seeing the two had finished arguing, Su Meng finally spoke up.
