Chapter 1513: Different style
Lin Fan didn’t give up hope right away as he looked at Xiao Mu.
The way that he looked at Xiao Mu was as if he was asking it if there really wasn’t anything that it could do.
But when Xiao Mu shook its head, he knew that it was hopeless.
It wasn’t that Xiao Mu didn’t have any dance routines in its database, it was just that none of these dance routines would actually help them in this situation.
The situation was the same as the music sheets from before.
Since they were in the Dao Sect database, they were things that whoever controlled this pavilion already knew about. This certainly wouldn’t have been enough for them to pass this trial.
Which was why they needed something completely new.
The problem was that demonstrating this dance wasn’t the same as demonstrating the music sheet. The music sheet was a physical and a visual representation of the music, so it was something that was easy to read and follow.
The problem was that unless one demonstrated the dance with their body, it wasn’t something that was easily taught. Naturally, Lin Fan wasn’t capable of doing something like this with his level of skill.
It wasn’t that he lacked hand eye coordination, it was just that this kind of dance wasn’t something that could be mastered that easily.
The one thing that Lin Fan was hesitating over now was whether to show Ye Qing Huan and Xiao Mu. After all, it wasn’t as if he didn’t have a way to show them if he really wanted to show them.
Seeing the way that Xiao Mu looked at him, he knew that there really was no other choice.
In that case, he would have to take some precautions before he actually took out the thing that would show them the dance.
After all, this was the kind of thing that didn’t exist in this world.
Even if he had done some disguises for this thing before, it was completely different this time. It was going to be something that could be considered breaking the very rules of this cultivation continent.
That was why he had to prepare it properly if he wanted to take it out here.
After a while, Lin Fan finally took out the thing that he had exchanged for.
Ye Qing Huan and Xiao Mu raised their brows seeing this since it seemed like this was just a normal jade slip. Only when Lin Fan injected his spiritual energy into the jade slip, there was this screen that was released from it.
"What is this..."
That was all that Ye Qing Huan and Xiao Mu could say when they saw this screen, or rather it was all that they could say when they saw the performance that was in front of them.
"How are they doing these kinds of movements?"
Xiao Mu was the one that seemed to be the most focused on the dancing, but it wasn’t as if Xiao Mu was entranced by the dancing itself. Rather, it was that Xiao Mu was focused on how the bodies of the one doing the dancing were moving.
What Xiao Mu cared more about was how their bodies could make these movements.
Ye Qing Huan didn’t say anything, but the slightly furrowed brow on her face was more than enough to show what she was thinking.
She had also never seen this kind of dancing before and was curious how it was done.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Fan’s face when he saw this.
After all, it wasn’t as if this was considered that hard to begin with. Compared to some of the dances that he saw when he had been doom scrolling, this was considered rather simple.
It was just that when compared to the elegant and flowing dance that was common on this cultivation continent, it was only natural that this snappy style of dancing was something that they had never seen before.
When the dance was over, neither of them said anything as they were deeply lost in thought.
But then all of a sudden, Ye Qing Huan turned to Lin Fan to ask, "Who are these people?"
When he heard this, there was this chill that ran down his back which he didn’t expect. However, Lin Fan knew exactly why Ye Qing Huan had suddenly asked him this question.
Though it wasn’t as if he hadn’t expected her to ask this question, it was just that she had caught him off guard with the tone of voice she used when asking this question.
With a calm voice, Lin Fan said, "This is an ancient relic that I found, I have no idea who these people are. I never thought that I would have a chance to use this thing, so I’m glad that it was useful now."
The way that he said this was too smooth, almost as if he had already practiced what to say beforehand. Because of that, Ye Qing Huan narrowed her eyes to look at him as if she was doubting his words.
But with Lin Fan keeping a calm look on his face, it wasn’t as if there was anything that Ye Qing Huan could say in response. So she could only take his words at face value and accept them for what they were.
After accepting this explanation, Ye Qing Huan went back to watching the video that Lin Fan played.
From time to time, she would use her own body to follow the movement in the video.
She wasn’t the only one that did this, Xiao Mu also followed the video and learned the same dance as her.
But even though it was a dance for three people, it didn’t seem like they had any intention of letting Lin Fan join. It was almost as if they wanted to keep him as far away from this as possible.
It was as if they were afraid of letting him dance for even a moment.
Lin Fan had a bitter smile on his face seeing the way that they treated him, but it wasn’t as if he blamed them for this either since he knew that they were right to do this.
There was a reason why he was using the video jade slip to teach them in the first place, so it would actually be bad if he were to dance with them.
With the physical capabilities of Ye Qing Huan and Xiao Mu, it didn’t take long for them to get this dance down. In fact, it even looked like they had added a few improvements to it even though it was their first time seeing this dance.
From time to time, they would argue about what they should do for parts, but they would always make up in the end.
After seeing their practice dance, Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling that this dance was even better than what was in the video. After all, these were cultivators that had physical capabilities that were beyond what normal humans in his past life had.
It was only natural that they would be able to do things that normal humans couldn’t.
Once they were done practicing, neither Ye Qing Huan nor Xiao Mu asked Lin Fan for his opinion on their dancing. It was clear that neither of them had any faith in Lin Fan’s ability to actually judge their dancing.
A bitter smile appeared once more on Lin Fan’s face seeing this, but he didn’t say anything to refute it since he knew that they were right.
It might seem good in his eyes, but he wouldn’t actually be able to describe what was good about their dancing.
It was different for the voice of the one judging them.
"These movements...they seem wild, but also controlled at the same time. This is truly a dance that I’ve never seen before."
This was actually the simplest praise that the voice gave.
While they were dancing, there were all kinds of high level technical comments that came from the voice. These were all comments that were just too high level for Lin Fan to understand, but he could hear the passion that was in the voice that said it.
At the same time, he could clearly hear the appreciation that this voice had for this dance.
When it was over, there was silence that followed.
Even though there had been all those comments while they had been dancing, there wasn’t a single one that came after they finished.
Though from the looks on Ye Qing Huan and Xiao Mu’s faces, it didn’t seem like they were worried about this at all. The two of them were filled with confidence towards the performance that they had just put on, so they were just waiting for a response now.
It took a while, but eventually a response did come.
"How did you manage to come up with all of this?"
It wasn’t a notification that they had passed nor was it praise for the dance itself, it was a question that wasn’t even directed at the people on the stage. Rather, this was a question that was directly aimed at Lin Fan.
Once more, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
This wasn’t something that he could actually answer, but it also wasn’t as if he had a reason to answer this.
Even though Ye Qing Huan and Xiao Mu were also looking at him with curious looks.
"I think that the more important thing is whether they passed the trial or not." Lin Fan calmly said in response.
"What if I say that they can’t pass unless you answer?"
