Can't you play something passionate for me? Do you want Daddy to teach you?\" He directly poked his head out of the window to provoke her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, it was a provocation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng was full of confidence; today he must make Jueqing sing a song for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Jueqing was already off work, so what? As long as she could still hear it, how could she endure the provocation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Jueqing's arrogant personality, no one had ever been able to provoke her repeatedly in her life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Cheng!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Cheng expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jueqing's furious voice came from the floor below. After the last provocation, Jueqing stopped playing for several days to repair her beloved pipa. It was finally repaired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For nearly a month, she had ignored Lin Cheng, and her mood was naturally not bad. Just after getting off work, she was thinking about a new song, and her fingers couldn't help but lightly touch the strings to simulate it, but then she suddenly heard Lin Cheng's annoying voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fists not only clenched and made sounds, but she also gritted her teeth. The result was that all the strings she had finally repaired were snapped by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment of being stunned and dumbfounded, a greater anger was ignited in her body. Her pipa was almost her lifeblood; she had accompanied herself with the pipa for so many years. Now, without the pipa, she seemed to have lost the meaning of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before ending her life, she wanted to kill this bastard Lin Cheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second-floor private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jueqing rushed all the way here, kicked open the door of the private room, hugged the broken-string pipa in her arms, and glared angrily at the protagonist inside the private room, with tears in the corners of her eyes, like a resentful woman who had been abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Cheng! I'll kill you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down, calm down, Jueqing, Lin Cheng didn't do it on purpose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Zhang pulled the clawing and raging Jueqing the first time she could, using all the strength of her life, but she still couldn't stop Jueqing from walking towards Lin Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fortunate that Jueqing didn't do anything to Sister Zhang; otherwise, with Sister Zhang's mortal physique, she would have been beaten away by Jueqing in minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Cheng! You pay for my pipa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so the pipa is broken. No wonder you want to fight me to the death... Wait, it doesn't seem like I broke it either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the reminder from Miss Jueqing, Lin Cheng noticed that the strings of the pipa in Jueqing's arms were broken, and Jueqing, such a cold and heartless person, was actually crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost took out the magic recorder to record this moment, so it would be convenient to use it to mock Jueqing next time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, what's in his hand... a magic recorder?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknowingly, he had already taken out the magic recorder and started recording every move in the private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You... you aren't compensating me for my pipa, what's the meaning of taking out a magic recorder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng's inexplicable actions made Jueqing even more furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even began to suspect that this bastard was sent by the heavens to punish her; her calm state of mind, maintained for many years, had been broken by him twice now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's convenient for taking it out to mock you next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng stated his purpose without a care, tossing a white light from his hand at the same time; meanwhile, in the spirit weapon display area of the blacksmith shop, a classical pipa suddenly flashed with white light and vanished from its spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Zhang, let me go, I must kill this bastard Lin Cheng today, he has provoked me time and time again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tossed white light rapidly transformed into the shape of a classical pipa in mid-air; Jueqing took one look, and then her gaze could no longer move away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out and caught it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three feet long and nine inches wide, with four strings and twelve frets, the entire body was crafted from rosewood, with a full, bright luster and not a single flaw; everything about it looked as if it were naturally formed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been in contact with various pipas since childhood, she knew at a glance that this pipa was an excellent top-tier item, and very likely an extremely rare masterpiece; she would only be able to make a final judgment after testing the sound, but given Lin Cheng's craftsmanship, she estimated there wouldn't be any problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph, although Jueqing didn't want to admit it, Lin Cheng's attainments in forging were indeed extraordinary, comparable to the effort and harvest she had put into the Dao of the zither.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jueqing looked at Lin Cheng with questioning eyes, not knowing why he had suddenly taken out such a good one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was he doing with the zither?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't believe for a second that this bastard would be kind enough to compensate her with such a fine pipa. Can't you tell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A spirit weapon-grade pipa; if you can gain its recognition and play a song for me, then it's yours,\" Lin Cheng said bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged; he could see that someone was judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was Jueqing a bit skeptical?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was wrong with this bastard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly wanting to give her such a good pipa, could it be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jueqing's expression changed, and she sternly refused: \"I will not like you, don't even think about it, it's absolutely impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng had just taken a sip of lemonade and ended up spraying it all out. He curled his lip in disgust and said, \"You are truly narcissistic. Why would I ever take a fancy to you? Do you think that with your cold demeanor, you compare to my enthusiastic Miss Qianhui?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1048,"2026-06-16T12:13:35.259Z","2026-06-16T12:23:20.534Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e376e8b4aa08b6cf7604694b7f410a770caaf44f955234f15148151131a07c8a","in-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-chapter-638","in-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-chapter-636",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fin-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-cover.jpg"]
