Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"My confidant...I..."

Looking at the burning gazes of Yin Yiren and Qin Menghan, Ye Fan felt a little overwhelmed. "But I really don't know much about vocal music. I only shouted at the mountains when I was bored when I was a kid..."

"Zhang San, the theme of the last competition of this vocal competition is 'sorrow'. Why don't you share your thoughts on this?"

At this time, Grape spoke up, "Maybe Sister Qin, Sister Yin, and I can gain something in vocal music!"

"'Sigh'...?"

Ye Fan frowned, thinking quickly in his mind.

"Speaking of 'sorrow'... it reminds me of a story I read in the old melon-growing man's book!"

After a while, Ye Fan spoke slowly, "This is a story called "Pin'er Burying Flowers"... It is said that in a wealthy family there was a girl called Concubine Xiaoxiang... Flowers wither and fly all over the sky, who will pity them when their beauty fades and their fragrance is gone... The girl in the boudoir cherishes the end of spring, and is filled with sorrow and has no place to release it... When spring is over, her face becomes old, and she dies without knowing it..."

After Ye Fan finished telling the story of "Pin'er Burying Flowers", Grape, Tan Menghan, Yin Yiren, Zhong Ming and the flower masked man all looked sad... Liu Mengying's eyes were red and tears were welling up, and A Xin was also staring at Ye Fan blankly...

"Now that you are dead, I will bury you... I don't know when I will die..."

After a long while, Qin Menghan came back to her senses from her sadness and murmured.

"You bury flowers today and people will laugh at you for being foolish, but who will bury you next year..."

"Look at the flowers gradually falling in the late spring, that is when the beauty grows old and dies..."

"When spring is over, the face becomes old, and when flowers fall and people die, no one knows..."

After Qin Menghan spoke, Grape, Yin Yiren, and the man with the flower mask murmured one after another.

"This... is so desolate!"

Immediately, Grape, Qin Menghan, Yin Yiren, and the man with the flower mask all spoke to Ye Fan at the same time.

"This is indeed a very sad story... It is titled "A Poem on Flowers", but it is actually about people... It personifies flowers and uses flowers to represent people... It tells the story of a poor woman who has a 'luck but no fortune'..."

Ye Fan nodded. "When I first read this story as a child, I was stunned for a long time!"

Immediately, he turned to look at the flower-masked man, "What's wrong with your voice?"

Ye Fan looked quite puzzled, because he found that the other party's voice had changed from a middle-aged male voice to a crisp female voice...

"Uh... cough... I've been hurt before, so if my emotions fluctuate, my voice won't sound right, it'll sound effeminate!"

The man with the flower mask cleared his throat twice, and his voice returned to that of a middle-aged man.

"Oh, it's okay, I just asked casually, and being a sissy is not a big deal, it's not like I want to become like that!"

Ye Fan immediately comforted her.

"Mr. Zhang, if the story of "Pin'er Burying Flowers" that you just told was turned into a song for the vocal competition, then we would have no chance of participating in this year's vocal competition!"

Qin Menghan swallowed, glanced at Grape and Yin Yiren, and spoke slowly.

"really!"

Grape and Yin Yiren also nodded repeatedly.

"Before, I had some doubts about Grape's claim that you wrote "Pipa Song", but the stunning poem "Burial Flower Song" just now...I was just being petty! I apologize to Master Zhang!"

Qin Menghan said this and bowed towards Ye Fan.

"I also read this "Song of Burying Flowers" in a book... I didn't write it..."

Ye Fan was somewhat speechless.

"I never thought that Master Zhang was not only proficient in vocal music, but also had such attainments in poetry and songs. I have also seen many Hanlin scholars of the current dynasty... Compared with Master Zhang, they are like the light of a firefly compared to the brilliance of the sun and the moon..."

At this time, Yin Yiren spoke, and she looked at Ye Fan with eyes full of amazement and curiosity.

"Girl Yin, meeting someone too stunning when you are young is not necessarily a good thing... It may be difficult for you to get married in the future..."

The flower-masked man said this, turned his head and looked deeply at Ye Fan, while Yin Yiren was slightly stunned, and after she reacted, her face suddenly turned red.

"Sister Qin, Sister Yin, our meeting is fate. Today we listened to the song "Flower Burial Song" together. How about we compose a song for it together?"

As soon as Grape finished speaking, Qin Menghan and Yin Yiren nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

"You guys play... I'm going to sleep~"

Looking at the excited Grape and the other two, Ye Fan yawned, turned around and walked out of the room, while Liu Mengying and A Xin stayed, obviously they were also quite interested in this.

...........

the next morning,

After a good sleep and a hearty meal, Ye Fan discovered that Grape, Qin Menghan and Yin Yiren not only did not sleep all night, but were still discussing the matter of composing music for "Song of Burying Flowers", while Liu Mengying slept until noon before getting up.

.........

at noon,

On the railing of the winding stream,

"Ye Fan, it is a rare thing for a person to be able to do something he likes in his life. It is even a luxury... It is normal for the three of Grape to forget about sleep and food!"

Zhong Ming saw Ye Fan looking at the room where Grape and the other two girls were from time to time, and explained with a smile.

"Yes, that's true! This happened a lot when I was a kid practicing Xuan Qi and learning medicine!"

Ye Fan nodded, "But speaking of which, Senior, aren't Qin Menghan, Yin Yiren, and Grape competitors in the vocal competition? Why do they seem to have such a good relationship?"

"The Qinhuai City Vocal Competition held every three years only produces the first place. The others are not ranked. Moreover, vocalists only discuss vocal music and do not involve other things. Naturally, the relationship is very good!"

Zhong Ming explained with a smile.

"By the way, Ye Fan, what happened to that guy named Li Yin? I didn't have time to ask you yesterday!"

After a pause, Zhong Ming spoke again. While speaking, he sprinkled a handful of fish food into the lake below.

"Oh, Li Yin is dead... It was done by a masked man in a black robe... I don't know who he is, but I know he has sound wave skills... and his strength is at least second-grade king!"

"That man yelled 'waste' and Li Yin immediately started bleeding from all seven orifices. His head turned into a mess and he died instantly!"

As Ye Fan spoke, he sprinkled fish food into the lake below, attracting a group of koi carps to scramble for it.

"Second-grade king... is this powerful?"

Hearing this, Zhong Ming frowned tightly.

"Yes!"

Ye Fan nodded, "It's a pity that I didn't get any information from Li Yin... Judging from the bone flute he made, Li Yin might have been planning this vocal competition a long time ago... The reward for this vocal competition should be very important to him or the people behind him!"

"this………"

Zhong Ming frowned even more tightly. "The rewards for the vocal competition were only determined half a year ago... How could Li Yin prepare so long in advance?"

"Perhaps the bone flute was not originally used for this...but for some reason, its use was changed and given to Li Yin..."

"The Heavenly Musical Instrument?"

After Zhong Ming's analysis, he narrowed his eyes.

"Probably!"

Ye Fan nodded.

"Big brother!"

At this time, Liu Mengying, who had eaten and drunk her fill, came over and said, "Big brother, this flute was made by Li Yin by digging out the breastbones of 108 young girls! What a beast!"

"I heard the sound of this flute yesterday, and it had an unspeakable feeling of depression and resentment... I think it might be a problem with the bone flute itself..."

After a pause, Liu Mengying spoke again, "Big brother, let's destroy this bone flute!"

Ye Fan turned his head and looked at Zhong Ming with a questioning look.
