Chapter 182 - Practicing Until Morning (1/2)
Shortly after Elder Shan left the place, Fei Yuyan suddenly said, ”Disciple Yuan, you can rest for the day. I am going to practice a little longer.”
”Eh?” Yuan looked at her with raised eyebrows, and he said, ”You have already practiced for 10 hours today. It's better to get some rest.”
”I know, but I don't think I can calm down so quickly after learning about Senior Song. She has countless admirers whether it'd be for her beauty or her musical abilities. I've admired her ever since I can remember,” Fei Yuyan said.
And she continued, ”Now that I know about her appearance at the competition, I must not embarrass myself at all cost! Therefore, I am going to practice more and try my best to impress her!”
Yuan nodded and said to her, ”Don't overdo it, Disciple Fei. It'll be problematic if you tire yourself out right before the competition. It's happened to me multiple times so I know how it feels.”
Fei Yuyan smiled and said, ”Are you worried about me? Don't forget that I am a Cultivator— a Spirit Warrior. I can practice for an entire week without rest and will still feel perfectly fine.”
Sometime later, Yuan and the others left the backyard whilst Fei Yuyan remained to practice her zither.
”Brother, guess what's being talked about in my school!” Yu Rou asked Yuan after she returned home.
”What?”
”The zither competition! You know my school is a prestigious school for musicians— there's no way they wouldn't talk about something as massive as the zither competition!” Yu Rou said.
”In fact, I even know a couple of students in my school who intend on participating in the zither competition!”
”Eh? There are people in your school that also know how to play the zither?” Yuan asked with his interest piqued.
”Yes, a lot of people in my school play Cultivation Online, and they learned to play the zither there. Of course, they are still not very good at it, but they still wanted to participate. As for the others, there'll only be at the competition as a spectator.”
Yu Rou then continued, ”Therefore, try not to reveal yourself, okay? Most people nowadays may not remember you, but there's a lot of students in my school that still remember your talents, brother, especially since I am there.”
”Don't worry, I will be wearing a mask for the competition just in case,” Yuan said.
”Good.” Yu Rou nodded.
”By the way, I would like to stay in the game tonight and practice the zither some more.” Yuan suddenly said.
”Don't overwork yourself, brother. You should know by now that rest is as important as the practice itself.”
”I know, Yu Rou. There's no reason for me to overwork myself, anyway.”
”Okay…”
A few minutes later, Yuan returned inside the game, and he went to the backyard to see whether Fei Yuyan was still practicing or not.
And as he'd expected, Fei Yuyan, while being basked in gentle moonlight, was practicing the zither.
