Chapter 960: Face-Slapping! 5
"Exactly, the sound is worlds apart. The Solitary Zither costs ten million, how much does Yan Yuexian’s zither cost, hundreds of thousands? A million? How dare such a zither compete with the Solitary Zither, isn’t that just asking for ridicule!"
"Shushu is really amazing, not only is she a direct disciple of Master Pei Hong, but she’s also good friends with Xia Weibao. A zither worth ten million, what kind of close relationship does it take to gift something like that, I’m so envious..."
Another round of compliments, and Ruan Shushu wore a humble smile, but inside she was already flying high.
Seeing Yan Yuexian, she looked at her like she was a defeated opponent.
She was very confident about "Xiao Xiang Shui Yun."
Back when Xia Weibao taught her the Fuxi Finger Technique, it was with this piece.
With the Fuxi Finger Technique and the unique sound of the Solitary Zither, it’s equivalent to having two golden aces!
Plus her own skills, if she still couldn’t beat Yan Yuexian, she might as well just hit her head on a wall!
Thinking about losing to Yan Yuexian in the music store before, but now being able to win back fair and square, Ruan Shushu felt immensely pleased!
A feeling of triumphant satisfaction.
Her body and mind were relaxed.
No longer caring about Yan Yuexian, she turned and chatted with other contestants, basking in their admiration.
Yan Yuexian sat by herself sulking, with only the friend who spoke for her earlier continuing to comfort and encourage her.
Soon, it was her friend’s turn to go on stage, leaving her alone, solitary.
Looking over at Ruan Shushu’s side, surrounded by people, made her look even more pathetic.
Yan Yuexian seemed to be used to this kind of situation and didn’t mind.
She held her phone, opened her chat with Xia Weibao, and debated whether to message her to come and watch.
She had practiced for three days and felt confident about "Xiao Xiang Shui Yun," wanting Xia Weibao to see it.
Otherwise, she’d feel unsatisfied.
It was like getting a perfect score on an exam, but the teacher didn’t even glance her way, truly frustrating.
But, given her relationship with Xia Weibao, she was torn.
As time slowly ticked away in this dilemma, people in the resting room went up to compete and then returned.
Finally, it was Ruan Shushu’s turn to perform.
Everyone encouraged her, saying she would surely win.
Amidst the flattery, Ruan Shushu held her Solitary Zither and walked into the passageway with her head high like a proud peacock.
Xiao Xue smugly said, "Shushu’s gone up; she’ll definitely wow the audience. Someone’s going to be embarrassed later."
Just as they finished speaking, a stir emerged from the stage with someone loudly exclaiming about it actually being the Solitary Zither.
The sound was so loud it echoed into the resting room.
Clearly, Ruan Shushu’s entrance with the Solitary Zither was dazzling.
Xiao Lan beamed, then cast a mocking glance at Yan Yuexian, "Sigh, without comparison there is no harm, Shushu’s Solitary Zither is exceptionally rare, I wonder what kind of discrepancy it will be when someone goes up with an ordinary famous zither, just thinking about it feels shameful, ha ha ha..."
The laughter at the end was full of disdain.
Yan Yuexian’s face turned cold with anger, struggling to hold back.
Just about to lose her temper, a commotion erupted by the door.
"Oh my god, it’s Xia Weibao and Han Luoqi!"
"I can’t believe I saw the real Xia Weibao and Han Luoqi, why did they come?"
"Ahhh my male and female idols, so handsome, so beautiful!"
Since this was a resting room and there weren’t many people, Xia Weibao and Han Luoqi removed their masks when they entered.
