Chapter 209: Perfectly in Sync (1/2)

After Senior Zou's verdict, Elder Jing spoke, ”Above and beyond— that's all I can say. Ten points from me as well.”

Everybody then turned to look at Song Ling'er, who nodded her head and said, ”I see that you've finally understood the situation you're in, Wei Kang.”

”Yes, Master!” Wei Kang said with a serious look on his face.

”Although there were many mistakes in your performance, I do not expect anyone to play the God Descends from Heaven song perfectly, especially not in a duet. You get nine points from me.”

The crowd cheered after hearing Song Ling'er's verdict. Although it was not a perfect score, neither was their performance, so it was fully justified for once.

”Thank you, Master!”

Ai Wan and Wei Kang bowed to her before sitting back down and exchanging satisfied looks with each other. Then they turned to look at Yuan, who was calmly sitting there and staring at his zither with a pondering gaze.

'What's he thinking about?' They couldn't help but wonder to themselves after seeing Yuan's bright eyes that gave them an ominous feeling for some reason.

The competition continued, and just like previously, after Ai Wan and Wei Kang's performance, the rest of the participants appeared to be lacking in their performance, causing the audience to grow bored.

Sometime later, when they finally reached Yuan's team, the audience immediately straightened their backs and widened their eyes with anticipation flickering within.

”It's them! Fairy Fei and her mysterious partner!”

”I wonder what kind of surprise they'll bring this time and how their performance will compare to Ai Wan and Wei Kang's performance!”

Meanwhile, Fei Yuyan asked Yuan, ”What song should we play?”

However, almost as though he couldn't hear her, Yuan remained silent and continued staring at his zither with a dazed look on his face.

”Disciple Yuan?” Fei Yuyan called out to him again.

”Eh? I'm sorry, I was thinking about something. What did you just say?” Yuan snapped out of his daze and turned to look at her with a puzzled look on his face.

”It's our turn to perform,” Fei Yuyan said with her eyebrows raised, and she continued, ”What song should we play? After Senior Song's disciples' performance, it'll be hard for us to compete since we don't know any difficult songs like Gods Descending from Heaven.”

Yuan then said, ”Do you remember that one song we played during our practice when we stayed up all night? Let's play that song.”

Fei Yuyan's eyes widened, and then she said, ”A-Are you sure about that? That song… It's too unique. What if the judges don't like it? I think it'd be safer if we played one of my songs.”

”It'll be fine. It may be a bit unique compared to the music you're used to, but this is a competition to see how well we can play the song as partners. Anyway, just play as we did during practice— I'll follow your pace.” Yuan said to her with a smile behind his mask.

Fei Yuyan nodded with a serious look on her face, and then she turned to look at her zither.

'I cannot be a burden to Yuan…'

After taking a deep breath, Fei Yuyan moved her slender arms and began playing the zither with her fair hands.
