Tao Xiangrong applauded and said, "Young Master Cyan Sword, truly well-known, you've seen right through my thoughts."
Young Master Cyan Sword smiled with a raised corner of his mouth, clasping his hands to those around him, quite proud. Tao Xiangrong said, "However, the first part of the tune was merely slightly altered by me, it's not much. I even composed an original second part of the tune myself. Gentlemen, would you care to listen?"
Everyone said, "We couldn't ask for more."
Tao Xiangrong immediately played the zither again. This time, the melody was even more beautiful, astonishingly attracting the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. From afar, several thousand birds came, riding upon hundreds of dishes.
Precisely delivered to the tables, each person got a portion, steaming with fresh white mist, it was a bowl of "soup." Just then, Young Master Cyan Sword was served with two portions of dishes and an extra cake.
