I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness? Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf. The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough! Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit. “Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!
The banquet continued. It was difficult for Miss Dong to refuse the proposals of so many people. Sitting behind the gauze curtain, she said with a faint smile, "Since you are looking forward to my performance, I will set the ball rolling again by playing Go Astray for you. I am looking forward to your advice about my shortcomings!"
After that, her maidservant placed a Guzheng in front of her. The strings were golden and silvery. The Guzheng was made of extraordinary ancient wood. Apparently, it was a precious musical instrument. Through the gauze curtain, people could clearly see Miss Dong raising her arms and plucking the strings of the Guzheng gently.
Zeng-Zeng...
Then, the beautiful sounds of the Guzheng started to echo throughout the entire building. All the people were listening carefully, holding their breaths. The atmosphere among the listeners became immediately intense.
