Socially anxious me transmigrated to a world of cultivation.

In an ordinary seat in the hall, Tian Guang slowly stood up, looking at Zhang Yingying on the stage with disdain.

Seeing that the speaker was Tian Guang, who was highly accomplished in music, Miao Ruyin suppressed her anger and smiled faintly.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​why do you say that?"

Tian Guang turned his gaze from Zhang Yingying to Miao Ruyin and sneered.

"She has certainly reached the pinnacle in stirring the soul, but her playing is quite rusty."

Tian Guang's words shocked everyone present. Recalling Zhang Yingying's playing just now, they realized that it was indeed as Tian Guang had said.

Zhang Yingying's playing only had the form, but not the spirit. It was as if she was a Nascent Soul cultivator who could release the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but did not have the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Hearing the whispers that had begun to circulate among the audience, Miao Ruyin's face darkened terribly as she spoke coldly.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​don't think that just because you have a deep understanding of music, you can arbitrarily question the results I've announced."

As soon as Miao Ruyin finished speaking, Zhang Yingying, who was beside her, raised her hand and gently plucked the strings of the pipa in her arms.

Suddenly, the crowd that was still whispering seemed to be controlled, their eyes becoming somewhat glazed, then firm, and they all looked angrily at Tian Guang, mocking him.

"I never expected that Tian Guang, the carefree and unrestrained zither immortal, would be such a sore loser."

"Exactly, being surpassed by juniors, yet showing no sense of grace whatsoever as a senior."

"I think you should stop calling yourself the 'Immortal of the Qin' and start calling yourself 'Qin Dung' instead."

Listening to the mocking voices around him, Tian Guang was stunned, wondering why these people suddenly seemed like different people.

At this moment, everyone in the private rooms on the second floor, except for the Zhang family's room, frowned and coldly watched the commotion below.

Suddenly, in the private room where the Teng family was, Teng Jiu stood up abruptly as if he had lost his soul. Under Teng Shan's puzzled gaze, he walked to the window, looked at Tian Guang who was surrounded by the crowd, and said sarcastically.

"Senior Tian, ​​I used to admire your talent, but now it seems you are nothing more than an ordinary person."

Teng Jiu's sudden words caused the many rogue cultivators below the stage to mock Tian Guang even more vigorously.

However, Teng Shan looked at Teng Jiu standing by the window, frowned, and shouted seriously.

"Jiu'er, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing Teng Shan's words, Teng Jiu turned around, his eyes full of confusion, and asked.

"Father, Jiu'er didn't say anything wrong, why do you look at me like that?"

Looking at Teng Jiu's stiff expression and listening to her words, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly stood up, looked coldly at Zhang Yingying on the stage, and shouted sharply.

"Young man of the Zhang family, what exactly did you do? Why is Jiu'er protecting you?"

Looking at Tian Guang below, who was stunned by the barrage of criticism, Zhang Yingying's lips curled into a cold smile when she heard Teng Shan's sharp shout from the second floor, and her body suddenly froze.

Noticing Zhang Yingying's unusual behavior beside her, Miao Ruyin looked up at Tengshan in the private room on the second floor and smiled faintly.

"What's wrong with Patriarch Teng? Why is he so angry?"

Seeing that Zhang Yingying did not reply, but Miao Ruyin responded to him, he couldn't help but look at Miao Ruyin and shouted angrily.

"What's wrong? Jiu'er has always had a peaceful and unassuming attitude, but after listening to the Zhang family's junior play the pipa, she actually made a sarcastic remark about others."

Before Miao Ruyin could answer, Teng Jiu, who was standing next to him, retorted first.

"What is Father doing? Jiu'er is just unhappy that Tian Guang can't stand the fact that others are better than him just because he became famous in music early."

Upon hearing Teng Jiu's words, Teng Shan's anger intensified. He raised his hand and unleashed a gentle burst of spiritual energy, enveloping Teng Jiu and causing her to fall into a coma.

"Hahaha~ Tengshan, the little girl herself said that she can't stand Tian Guang's behavior, so why are you angry?"

Upon hearing this, Tengshan turned to look at the person speaking in the next private room and said coldly.

"Zhang Xiao, stop distorting the truth. If you don't get your daughter to tell you exactly what she did, don't blame me for being impolite."

After he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure emanated from Teng Shan's body, causing everyone who felt this pressure to shut their mouths.

Feeling the pressure released by Tengshan, Zhang Xiao was not to be outdone and also released his own Nascent Soul stage pressure.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

The two powerful forces collided fiercely and silently, causing cultivators with lower cultivation levels to experience a surge of qi and blood from the aftershocks of the collision.

"Enough! This is Miaoyin Pavilion, not a place where you can run wild."

Miao Ruyin looked at the two people who were about to clash, her displeasure evident on her face, and she reprimanded them.

In an instant, the entire pavilion fell silent, and Teng Shan and Zhang Xiao both withdrew their oppressive auras.

After withdrawing his aura, Zhang Xiao stopped looking at Tengshan and instead cupped his hands in greeting to Miao Ruyin.

"Fairy Miao, please don't be angry. I just can't stand some people bullying others because of their power."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiao glanced at Teng Shan, as if to say that the person who bullied others by relying on his power was Teng Shan.

Teng Shan scoffed at Zhang Xiao's slander, then looked at Miao Ruyin, whose face was full of anger, and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Fellow Daoist Miao, I only wish to ask what the Zhang family girl did to Jiu'er."

Seeing that Tengshan and the other person had withdrawn their oppressive aura, Miaoruyin's anger slowly subsided, and she spoke coldly.

"Yingying didn't do anything wrong; Teng Jiu was just following his heart."

Upon hearing this, Teng Shan suddenly realized his mistake and cursed himself for being foolish. Zhang Yingying was Miao Ruyin's apprentice, and even if she had really done something wrong, Miao Ruyin would have covered for her.

Thinking of this, Teng Shan glanced at the unconscious Teng Jiu, turned around and sat back down in his seat, no longer asking any questions.

At this moment, in the VIP box where Pingfan was, Teng Zhong clenched his fists, looked at Teng Jiu who had been knocked unconscious by his father, and then looked at Zhang Yingying on the stage with anger in his eyes, and said angrily.

"Zhang Yingying, if anything happens to Jiu'er, I will make you pay with your life!"

Pingfan frowned as he looked at the unconscious Teng Jiu, then at the crowd below who had just mocked Tian Guang, and began to ponder.

Suddenly, Pingfan remembered what his master had said: some cultivators outside had specifically cultivated their souls.

It can silently invade another person's soul, secretly planting a trace of soul imprint without their knowledge, thereby controlling the person whose soul imprint has been planted.

How could Zhang Yingying control so many people with her cultivation level alone?

However, seeing Teng Zhong's angry expression, Ping Fan placed his hand on Teng Zhong's shoulder and said softly.

"Brother Teng, there's no need to worry. Your sister is not in any immediate danger; she's just having her soul controlled."
