Chapter 134 - Enlighten us!

When Miyuki returned to her seat, she left everyone behind dazed. Just her words were enough to affect them in a completely different way. Especially Mingyue Wushuang, she was more profoundly affected than any other.

After Miyuki, no one had the confidence to go up again. At this moment, someone shouted, "Among the disciples in the side chamber, the leaders are Senior Brother Yan Yang, Senior Sister Mingyue, and Senior Brother Long Tianming. Please go up and enlighten us."

Seeing others also requesting, Long Tianming stood up, "Among the three of us, I am weakest. Unlike the two, my Dao couldn't isn't as good as Lady Miyuki. So, I would make a fool out of myself first. After me, I would like Senior Sister Mingyue and Senior Brother Yan Yang to go onstage to guide us."

While everyone was praising Long Tianming for his admitting that he was the weakest.

Mingyue Wushuang glanced at him. She understood the underlying meaning of Long Tianming words well. If he didn't perform better than her and Yan Yang, then that would be natural. If he did, then he would be a talented genius who wasn't arrogant.

Mingyue Wushuang refused to meet his words and said with a smile, "Junior brother must be joking, Lady Miyuki's Dao is far above mine. I couldn't compete with her."

Yan Yang didn't clarify; a smile appeared on his face as he leaned back. Mingyue Wushuang's words were distinct. She did not admit that her Dao was equal to Miyuki's Dao, but she made it clear she thought her Dao was above Long Tianming.

Long Tianming acted like he didn't hear the underlying meaning and stepped towards the stage.

"Qin Yue, Ye Xuan, and Lady Miyuki have already shown their talent in calligraphy and zither. Since two are required for the Go, then there is no point. I will make a fool of myself and show my painting skills."

The moment his brush landed on the paper, his expression changed. His aura turned sharp as he drew the picture; an overbearing aura spread towards the audience. The audience at the foot couldn't help but gasp for breath. Slowly, a ferocious beast took form on the paper; it was a Celestial Blood Saint Dragon, landing with wings unfurled. From the dragon bones, scales to wings, every part was composed of vigorous strokes.

The painting contained an overbearing intent, but it still looked a bit lackluster to the audience. Maybe, it had something to do about what everyone felt from Miyuki's Dao intent. Although if it was like what Mingyue Wushuang said, they just felt the edges of Dao Intent. It was far more boundless than this.

"Painting of Senior Brother Long Tianming is really imposing and filled with the Dao of the King. We can only exclaim in admiration.

Ye Xuan stood up and heaped on his own flattery. "From this painting, one can see Senior Brother Long Tianming has a broad mind."

Long Tianming looked towards Mingyue Wushuang and Yan Yang with a smile, "among the four arts, only Go is left. If you two wouldn't mind, would you reveal a little of your Go skill?"

Two people are required for Go, and the outcome of such a match could be easily determined. If the Dao intent of one was more potent than the other; then, it would make it harder for the loser to exhibit his/her skills. He planned to pit the two against each other.

Yan Yang lightly said, "I don't mind."

Mingyue Wushuang refused it calmly, "I am not proficient in Go, my Dao is not comparable to brother Yan Yang's. I will show play the zither instead."

Mingyue Wushuang walked towards the zither; she didn't sit down. She lightly extended her finger and strummed the string.

*Zenggg*

Her note brought peace to everyone's heart; a single zither note was better than Long Tianming's painting. Even long after, the after taste remained in everyone's heart.

When Mingue Wushuang came down, the crowd snapped out of the daze.

Next, Yan Yang stood up and walked towards the stage, "It's regrettable senior sister Mingyue was unwilling to compete with me in Go. I can only give a casual performance."

Yan Yang was about to turn around when someone in the audience stood up making a loud sound. He looked towards the audience, a girl with pink hair was moving towards him.

"If a senior brother doesn't mind, I would like to accompany you in the game of Go." The girl said with her Dao Intent was exceptionally spreading in the audience. It seemed overbearing on the surface, but Yan Yang could feel something abstruser. It was like a small plant still growing.

He was intrigued by the situation as a smile appeared on his face, "I wouldn't mind that."

Long Yuyin stood on one side of the Go as she looked at Yan Yang calmly, "if brother Yan Yang doesn't mind, I would like to go first." Although her Dao had progressed, she was nowhere near Yan Yang.

Yan Yang smiled and nodded in expectation, "please..."

Overbearing Dao intent that Long Yuyin had released appeared again. But this time, it was different. Even others felt there was something more to it.

It was something illusionary, but it was there.

Long Tianming narrowed his eyes as they flashed. He couldn't believe it was the same Long Yuyin that he knew of.

Not only him, no one from the people of Divine Feathers Sect could believe it was the same Long Yuyin they knew.

Yan Yang nodded, looking at her move, and picked up the piece. When he picked up the Go piece, it seemed he had disappeared. Only the Go piece was left, radiating Dao Intent that covered everyone in the hall. He held back since he wanted to see how far Long Yuyin could go. But even so, his Dao Intent made everyone gulp in amazement.

Long Yuyin felt a drop of sweat on her cheek, but a smile appeared on her face. She picked up another piece to put forward, but this time her Dao Intent was even greater than before.

Soon, the hall was filled with only the sound of pieces striking the board. With every piece that landed, the illusionary feeling in Long Yuyin's aura became more real, and Yan Yangs Dao became more profound. It started feeling like with every piece that landed the whole room quacked.

It continued for a while before Yan Yang made the last move, "It seems it is my win."

Long Yuyin stared at the board before taking a deep breath and sighing, "Yes...as expected of Senior brother Yan Yang. You, Dao, is really profound. Junior's sister learned a lot."

Yan Yang gazed at her with a smile, "I like you; if your Dao wasn't the same as mine, I would have asked you to be together with me."

Long Yuyin took the completely calmly as she smiled back, "If it wasn't for my Dao, brother Yan Yang wouldn't like me."

While they were talking with each other most of the disciples were gasping for breath. Long Tianming was grasping his armchair with all his strength. He was trying his best to not show what he was truly feeling. Although today he felt Long Yuyin was different, but that was it. Now, he realized she was a threat.

Long Yuyin held a unique position in Dragonseal Family. No one in the clan dared to do anything to her. That was why she was spoiled and overbearing; it was also why she fell to the seventh position for clan successor. Because of that he never considered her a threat.

But, the Long Yuyin in front of him was different. Soon, the news about it would spread to the ears of elders in the clan. He had seen her sitting with Miyuki and Ying Yueru; this change must have something to with them.

If they supported her, his all plans would turn to dust. He needed to do something. To stop them.

"Your Dao Intent grew really fast..." Miyuki was amazed by her progress.

Long Yuyin didn't keep up the act, "I know."

Tatsuya let out a smile, "that more like yourself..."

Long Yuyin had a cold smile on her face, "I learned from the best."

Tatsuya looked at her, confused, "who?"

Ning'Er couldn't hold back and let out a laugh. Not only her soon everyone on the table started chuckling.

"Is there anyone else who would like to show their talent?" Qin Yue's eyes swept towards the crowd.

After the three, no one wanted to go up and make a fool out of themselves. Just when everyone thought there was no one else, Long Tianming stood up.

He looked towards Miyuki with a smile, "Everyone, hear me out. I admire Lady Miyuki's talent and beauty, but sadly she has already declared her love for someone. I am sure the man she loves would be a dragon among men. If possible, I would like to see the brother enlighten us."

Hearing Long Tianming's words, everyone's eyes turned to him. They agreed with him more or less. Whoever was able to make Miyuki fall in love so intensely must have something special.

Soon, every eye on the room turned towards Tatsuya.

Long Yuyin looked at Tatsuya with interest, "It seems you attracted too much attention."

Tatsuya sighed, "this is your fault."

Long Yuyin denied it, "it began with you, so it is your fault. Not only that, you were the one who asked Miyuki to play."
