He changed Tiwat

Even though she became a rock singer with passion, she never gave up honing her skills.

It's not just because these skills are helpful for the performance, nor just because of her competitive nature, but also because she believes that giving up without talent is a kind of "prejudice".

Who says rock musicians can't be good at needlework? Who says rock musicians can't balance a normal life?

Xin Yan not only has to juggle these responsibilities, but she also excels at them – this is also part of her "rock spirit".

Yun Jin accepted her friend's gift with great care and has decided to place the dolls made by Xin Yan on her pillow and hug them to sleep every night.

At this moment, Han Fulai suddenly reached out his hand to Xin Yan.

"Miss Xin Yan, could I borrow your hand drum?" he asked.

Xin Yan tilted her head. "What do you need this for?"

“People say ‘sing while drinking,’ and although there’s no wine here, after hearing Miss Xin Yan’s story, I’d like to dedicate a song to you. A… rock song,” Han Fulai replied.

"Oh, you also know rock music?" Xin Yan found it very interesting and took off the hand drum from his waist and handed it to Han Fulai.

Yun Jin was even more surprised. She knew that Han Fulai was a talented writer and that he had written songs for Shen He, but this was the first time she had heard that he could sing rock music.

Xingqiu, however, explained to the two women with a smug look on his face: "Brother Han is a returned student from Fontainebleau. He spent a long time there and is quite skilled at singing and dancing. Rock music originated in Fontainebleau, so of course Brother Han knows about it!"

Han Fulai simply smiled.

Not many people in Liyue understand rock music, but as a modern college student in China, there will always be a few classmates who play rock music and form bands. Although these college bands usually break up after graduation, they usually practice very diligently before graduation, especially when performing for their roommates.

Although Han Fulai has never joined any bands, he has listened to a lot of music.

If you were to ask him what the most popular song among college students of his generation was, it would undoubtedly be that hit song that swept the entire country, hailed as "a different song every time it's performed."

That song doesn't require singing skills, it doesn't matter if you're off-key, you can sing off-key as you please, it doesn't matter if you're tone-deaf, it doesn't matter if you sing it like a train wreck... because that song doesn't require technique, it's all about emotion.

Every graduation season, the melody of this song echoes throughout the campus. Students who are about to go their separate ways hold empty bottles in their hands and roar to the sky together—"For the beauty in our hearts, we will not compromise until we grow old!"

Han Fulai gently tapped his hand drum and began to sing "A Child's Heart Chasing Dreams":

Where exactly is the world filled with flowers?

If it really exists, then I will definitely go.

I want to stand on the highest peak there.

It doesn't matter if it's a cliff or a steep slope.

Live life to the fullest, love with all your might, even if it means sacrificing your life.

I don't seek anyone's approval, as long as I can be true to myself.

I have never chosen to give up on my ideals.

Even on the most gloomy days.

Maybe I don't have the talent.

But I have the naivety to dream.

I will prove it with my whole life.

Maybe I'm just clumsy with my hands.

But I am willing to keep exploring.

Give your all in your youth so you have no regrets.

Run forward—

Facing cold stares and ridicule,

How can one truly appreciate the vastness of life without experiencing hardship?

Fate cannot make us kneel, beg, or plead for mercy!

Even if blood is spilled all over my arms!

Keep running—

With the pride of a child.

How can you see the brilliance of life if you don't persevere to the end?

Rather than lingering on in misery, let's burn brightly!

It will sprout again someday...

It should be said that Han Fulai sang with a lot of "original singer's flavor" - the so-called "original singer's flavor" means that he was tone-deaf, with all sorts of off-key and broken notes... after all, even the original singer himself couldn't sing in tune.

But this song, "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart," is all about conveying emotion.

It expresses the spirit of bravely moving forward even when faced with setbacks and ridicule.

So it's okay if you can't sing, just sing it out bravely.

Xin Yan, Yun Jin, and Xing Qiu, of course, did not know what the original tune of the song was, and therefore did not know that Han Fulai had actually sung it off-key. However, the rich emotions contained in the song could still stir people's hearts even across the distance between two worlds.

Xin Yan excitedly grabbed Han Fulai's hand: "Mr. Han, please teach me this song! Please sing it with me at the concert later!"

His powerful, screaming performance was filled with a persistent pursuit and dedication to his dreams. The song's rich emotions seemed to express the heartfelt sentiments of everyone on their journey towards their ideals—Xin Yan's heartfelt sentiments.

Chapter 327 Singing Rock in the Hall of Rebirth [4k]

Han Fulai initially refused when asked to sing on stage.

It wasn't because he was stage-frightened; he was already thick-skinned enough to talk nonsense at press conferences without batting an eye. It was just a roadside concert, nothing to be afraid of.

He refused mainly because it would have a bad influence...

After all, he is now a big celebrity, and his every move represents the face of Yuehaiting and Yuhengxing.

Xin Yan's concert can be considered an "illegal concert" to some extent.

The reason is obvious: Xin Yan's performances are filled with fireworks and explosions...

According to Xin Yan's past performance records, the temporary stage she set up for her performances would always burst into flames halfway through the show, leaving only a clump of steaming black charcoal in the end.

Xin Yan is, after all, the holder of the Eye of God, so the flames she uses for stage effects are naturally under control and will not cause a fire. However, ordinary people without the Eye of God will still be afraid. In addition, with Xin Yan's heavy metal rock outfit, people who do not know her might think she is a dangerous "arsonist".

If you see any dangerous individuals, you should report them to Qianyan Army.

Xin Yan had long been on the list of the Thousand Rock Army in the General Affairs Department. The Thousand Rock Army in Liyue Harbor received complaints from residents almost every week, saying that a fierce-looking dark-skinned girl was setting fires at night and causing noise pollution.

At first, Chiyan Army treated it as a major case, but after discovering that it was just a concert and that the other party was a "Genshin Impact" with a Vision of God, Chiyan Army's attitude became very subtle.

On the continent of Teyvat, where gods reside, those who possess the Eye of God are generally considered special beings, chosen ones favored by the gods. It is widely believed that those with the Eye of God are destined to accomplish extraordinary feats, even someone like Xiangling who only wanted to be a cook—she would still become the greatest chef of the future.

Xin Yan, a holder of the Eye of God who seems to have achieved little, is clearly a promising future star and will inevitably be viewed differently by others.

Moreover, Xin Yan did not cause any loss of life or property to the people – the stage she burned was built by herself using wooden planks.

Therefore, Qian Yanjun did not force Xin Yan, but only pointed out that her performance might pose a fire hazard and advised her to give up the performance.

However, Xin Yan demonstrated her fire control skills on the spot using her divine eye, and even cleaned up the trash after the performance... leaving Qian Yanjun speechless.

However, Qianyanjun could not ignore the residents' complaints.

After repeated unsuccessful attempts to dissuade Xin Yan, the Qianyan Army had no choice but to increase patrols and try every possible way to stop him from performing. They used the excuse of disturbing the peace late at night, so Xin Yan moved the concert to the outskirts of the city; they then used the excuse of illegally occupying the road, so Xin Yan deliberately moved the concert to an empty, deserted area…

Finally, the Chiiwa Army cited the General Affairs Department's regulations, stating that gatherings must apply for permission from the General Affairs Department, and that gatherings without permission are illegal and that the Chiiwa Army has the right to disperse them according to law.

As for how long the application process for the General Affairs Department is, well, those who know, know.

So Xin Yan and Qian Yanjun began a "cat and mouse game" between the city management officers and the street vendors.

In their battle of wits, Xin Yan often emerged victorious—she could always find a place to sing, quickly set up a stage, and enjoy a night of singing and dancing with the audience.

A more reliable version of the story is that many members of the Thousand Rock Army patrols, while trying to stop Xin Yan, were infected by her "rock spirit" and became her fervent followers. Xin Yan could always learn about the Thousand Rock Army's patrol plans in advance from these "rock enthusiasts," so she could easily avoid patrols.

Over time, since there were no results and no one was reported to be injured at the concert, Qian Yanjun turned a blind eye to Xin Yan's behavior.

Qianyan Army turned a blind eye, but the audience did not.

If Han Fulai were to perform at a concert and be recognized, the news would spread very quickly.

Although he is currently on leave, the nature of this matter remains "public officials participating in an illegal assembly".

Being an audience member is fine; no one will notice him when he's in a crowd. But it's a different story once he's on stage. Countless eyes are watching, and those with ulterior motives will probably get this story in the newspapers very quickly.

He could use his authority to help Xin Yan get a permit for the concert from the General Affairs Department, but it would definitely be too late tonight.

Therefore, when Xin Yan invited Han Fulai to perform on stage together, Han Fulai declined in every way possible.

Until Xin Yan's words changed his mind—

"Sigh... Today's concert was at Mr. Zhongli's invitation..."

Upon hearing the words "Mr. Zhongli," Han Fulai nearly jumped up from his seat.

"Is it...is it Mr. Zhongli, the guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth?" Han Fulai quickly confirmed.

"Yes... So you know him too? Ah, come to think of it, I haven't told you about today's performance venue yet..."

Xin Yan nodded and began to explain the whole story: "As you know, not many people used to listen to my rock music. One day, Mr. Zhong Li suddenly invited me to try out for his place, saying that if it was suitable, I could become a resident singer. I was so excited! Finally, someone understood my music! So I immediately agreed..."

"When we got to the venue, we found out that he was actually a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, and the venue was the Hall of Rebirth... Don't you think he's a weirdo?"

He really is a weirdo...

Everyone present wholeheartedly agreed with Xin Yan's statement.

What's the deal with a funeral home like Wangshengtang hiring a rock musician like Xin Yan as a resident singer...?

Han Fulai knew that Zhongli was actually quite trendy. Despite being over six thousand years old, he was quite open to new things, so it wasn't surprising that he was interested in rock music. But even if you're trendy, old man, you shouldn't listen to rock music at your funeral, right?

Han Fulai even conjured up a rather discordant image in his mind—Zhong Li and Hu Tao, dressed in solemn black funeral uniforms, carrying a coffin on their shoulders, walking out of the funeral hall to the upbeat rhythm of Xin Yan's energetic rock music...

—Is this a rave on a grave or a group of Black people carrying a coffin...?

He quickly shook his head to shake the image out of his mind.

"So I almost refused Mr. Zhongli's request at the time, but fortunately, the head of the Rebirth Hall, the girl named Hu Tao, explained to me that she wanted to invite me to hold a concert for the ritual officiants of the Rebirth Hall for some kind of 'team building', so I agreed..."

Upon hearing the name "Hu Tao," everyone had a look of sudden realization on their faces.

Because it's a walnut, nothing it does is surprising.

It seems that Zhongli invited Xinyan on the orders of the hall master.

Xin Yan, however, beamed with joy at the mention of Hu Tao: "Speaking of that Master Hu, she's quite the 'rock and roll enthusiast'... Even though she's the head of the Hall of Rebirth, she always seems so cheerful. Everyone in Liyue Harbor avoids me, but I ran into Master Hu Tao on the street the other day, and she greeted me warmly and even complimented me, saying, 'People who like playing with fire are a guarantee of prosperous business.'"

Han Fulai couldn't help but cover his face, thinking to himself—Xin Yan, this really isn't a nice thing to say…

In any case, since the concert was held at the Hall of Rebirth, it means that the Rock King Emperor was protecting it, so it was definitely a legal gathering. There was nothing wrong with going on stage and singing a song.

It had been a long time since Han Fulai had seen Zhongli, and he wanted to meet the old man. Although Zhongli had said he would not give him any more help, chatting with him should not be a problem, right?

Furthermore, since Hu Tao is currently at Wuwangpo, Zhong Li will likely be the one hosting this concert.

Not only will you have the chance to see what the interior of the Hall of Rebirth looks like, but you can also observe Zhongli's daily work and satisfy your curiosity... You might even have the chance to hear Zhongli sing rock music!

Therefore, Han Fulai readily accepted Xin Yan's invitation this time.

The group bid farewell to "Chief Steward Owl," left the shipyard, and headed to the Hall of Rebirth located at the other end of Liyue Harbor.

The Hall of Rebirth is located in the southwest corner of Feiyun Slope, directly below Yujing Terrace. The environment is quite quiet – after all, people don't usually go to this place unless there is a funeral.

Ordinary businesses wouldn't think of opening their shops next to the Rebirth Hall, so this area is basically monopolized by the Rebirth Hall.

This results in the burial hall occupying a very large area.

Standing at the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth was still the same stern-faced nun, the "ferryman" lady.

—Because she always says that "her real name is not worth mentioning," Han Fulai still doesn't know her real name, so he can only call her "Ferryman" Miss.

Miss Ferryman was already familiar with everyone present. Apart from Yun Jin, she had met almost everyone else before, so this time there was no incident like "Are you talking to me?"

Hu Tao must have given instructions to the "ferryman" before leaving. When the four of them arrived, the "ferryman" simply nodded and then took the lantern to lead the way.

The way she turned around without a word to open the door and lead the way, coupled with the cool night breeze and the white paper lantern she was carrying, looked more frightening than a real ghost, as if she were a "ferryman" between two worlds, leading them to another world.

The four followed the "ferryman" into the Hall of Rebirth, only to discover that it was indeed another world inside—

The storefront is decorated in a very antique style, which fits the atmosphere of the Wangsheng Hall perfectly. The walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings, and a large number of antiques are displayed on shelves in an orderly manner. Inside the room, a bronze incense burner emits a faint fragrance, and a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) sits on a table next to it. Overall, the feeling can be summed up in seven words: understated luxury with profound cultural significance.

It is likely that in addition to the items inherited from the Wangshengtang, many of these items are antiques that Zhongli has collected.

Although Han Fulai doesn't know much about antiques and calligraphy, Zhongli's eye for quality is definitely not bad. These things could probably be exchanged for a lot of Mora on the market.

When he was with Hu Tao, he couldn't tell at all, but after seeing the facade of the Hall of Rebirth, Han Fulai realized one thing clearly—Hu Tao was also a rich woman...
