Chapter 418: Chapter 408 Strong Backlash

"Spiritual power is a double-edged sword, it can nurture emotions and soothe nerves," Jiang Zhe patiently explained, "With exceptional spiritual power, some can even heal sicknesses and save lives. However, as age increases and spiritual power diminishes, many who once had exceptional spiritual power need to rely on food supplements, medicinal supplements, and replenishments of spiritual power to maintain stability in spirit and emotion."

Jiang Zhe spoke eloquently.

Long Feilie had heard something about this before.

Jiang Fanyue frowned, feeling that Jiang Zhe was being deliberately enigmatic.

The expressions of Long Feilie and Long Feiyan became noticeably more serious.

"Those not of Beicheng Continent bloodline almost never possess spiritual power. Yet, individuals like Elder Long who stand out in a particular field, to an exceptional extent, carry some spiritual power, regardless," Jiang Zhe continued, "This spiritual power contributes to their success. But given that he is now old and frail, his spiritual power has inevitably weakened, and thus he needs some forms of nourishment. The piano piece performed by Jiang Fanyue carries a hint of spiritual power."

Hearing this, Long Feilie and Long Feiyan understood.

Jiang Fanyue was shocked; she hadn’t realized her own compositions carried spiritual power.

Zhou Yaming couldn’t help but take another look at Jiang Fanyue. Could it be that her future prospects were even more boundless than he had imagined?

Jiang Zhe glanced at Jiang Fanyue, "However, though Jiang Fanyue’s compositions carry some spiritual power, her performance was impure in heart, incorrect in thought, spoiling the mood of the piece. Such influence has only adverse effects on Elder Long. While the duration was short, the effect wasn’t obvious. Over time, it’s led to Elder Long coughing up blood. In a word, Jiang Fanyue’s compositions are better left unlistened to."

Jiang Fanyue said with a sense of grievance, "It wasn’t intentional, and I hadn’t imagined it would harm Elder Long. I was merely playing my own pieces. If Jiang Zhe wants to malign me like this, I have nothing else to say."

Zhou Yaming also spoke up, "Since both of you choose to believe Jiang Zhe, we truly have nothing to say. But Fanyue is right, whether intentional or not, none of us would harm Elder Long. We hope you will consider this further. For now, we will take our leave."

Long Feiyan was very close friends with Zhou Yaming. Seeing him hurt, she also felt uncomfortable.

"Wait a moment," Jiang Zhe called out to Zhou Yaming and Jiang Fanyue.

"What else do you want to say?" Zhou Yaming asked, impatiently.

"Jiang Fanyue’s compositions cannot be released in an album, they cannot see the light of day."

Jiang Zhe spoke indifferently, but with utmost firmness.

Standing beside her, Qin Jingchen’s face was full of protective intent, as if every word Jiang Zhe said was most correct.

This time, Zhou Yaming was genuinely angry, "Jiang Zhe, Mr. Long and Feiyan may choose to believe your reasoning, and I won’t comment on that. But you have no right to interfere in Fanyue’s affairs!"

"Oh, is that so?" Jiang Zhe countered.

She walked slowly toward Jiang Fanyue, "Jiang Fanyue, did you truly create this piece yourself?"

Jiang Fanyue stood tall, "Of course!"

She spoke with righteous indignation, showing no fear.

Jiang Zhe took out her phone and waved it in front of Jiang Fanyue, "In Beicheng Continent’s music library, music creators release their compositions every year, which can be accessed for a small fee. Since they are created by people from the Beicheng Continent, these melodies naturally carry some of the creator’s spiritual power. Jiang Fanyue, a native of Dragon Emperor Country, where did your spiritual power come from?"

Jiang Fanyue’s face turned slightly pale, yet her attitude remained defiant, "This so-called spiritual power is just your unilateral claim. Does it exist just because you say it does?"

"Of course, my word alone doesn’t count. But the music library specifies that while the melodies can be used privately by the fee-payers, commercial use requires obtaining separate, additional authorization," Jiang Zhe kindly reminded her.

Jiang Fanyue’s face began to lose color, her hands tightening.

Zhou Yaming observed the change in Jiang Fanyue’s emotions, doubts arising in his eyes.

"Furthermore, your playing technique simply cannot handle these pieces; using them as background music for so-called popular artists will only have adverse effects."

If it hadn’t been for seeing how serious Elder Long was this time, Jiang Zhe would have been too lazy to remind Jiang Fanyue.

Long Feiyan realized the severity of the situation and said, "Professor Zhou, the copyright laws in Beicheng Continent are even stricter than in Dragon Emperor Country. If someone infringes, lawyers will certainly come from afar to seek accountability. I suggest you be cautious, especially when it can lead to someone getting hurt."

Zhou Yaming turned around and left.

Jiang Fanyue immediately followed him quickly: "Professor!"

In a secluded place, Zhou Yaming stared at her: "Is what Jiang Zhe said true?"

Jiang Fanyue, already exposed by Jiang Zhe, did not dare to continue lying: "I’m sorry, I..."

"You!" Zhou Yaming had placed so much hope in Jiang Fanyue, and now he was just as disappointed.

Especially since she had caused such a serious issue.

This resulted in his relationship with the Long family being beyond repair.

Zhou Yaming said hoarsely, "Starting from today, you should go to another teacher, and don’t ever say you’re my student."

"Professor Zhou!" Jiang Fanyue pleaded pitifully.

Zhou Yaming turned and walked away, not giving her another glance.

His steps were heavy, as he remembered that it was because he had looked down on Jiang Zhe that he had taken Jiang Fanyue as his student for personal reasons.

And now, it turned out to be a grave mistake.

Halfway through, Zhou Yaming received a phone call from Cai Yasi’s agent, informing him that due to the busy schedule of recording this album, Cai Yasi had collapsed from exhaustion, and several other staff members had fallen ill in succession.

Therefore, the recording of Cai Yasi’s album may have to be postponed, as well as the collaboration with Jiang Fanyue.

Zhou Yaming immediately thought of what Jiang Zhe had just said and was startled.

Could it be that Jiang Zhe’s words were not an exaggeration and that these pieces really could have such a strong adverse effect if not used properly?

He said in a deep voice, "Don’t use Jiang Fanyue’s pieces."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Fanyue remained standing there, while Jian Xiliang and Wen Xia, although they had not been involved in the center of the incident, had listened to the whole thing and understood the meaning behind Jiang Zhe’s words.

It turned out that Jiang Fanyue’s pieces this time were also plagiarized, using tracks from someone else’s library that were clearly marked as non-commercial, and claiming them as her own creations.

The couple had thought that, after so many experiences, Jiang Fanyue might have changed somewhat, but now they realized she was truly incorrigible.

They also thought they might have had some success in Beijing by association with her.

Now, not being pursued by the Long family would be good enough.

All of Wen Xia’s love had been worn away by her, and she was thoroughly disappointed. Shaking her head, she only said, "We’re leaving; take care of yourself."

Jiang Fanyue opened her mouth, wanting to say something but could not express it.
