THANK YOU ROCKY FOR THE MASSIVE SUPPORT ON KO-FI!!

Yeah I know I disappeared cough cough and I will only release a few chapters. I am dedicating most of my tl time on the other project because I want to finish it quickly!!! And then, I will all be yours-

Anyway, good reading!

Gu Ziyan gazed at Yan Ziyuan with a complicated expression. Some time ago she used to call him ‘Teacher’, but now… it was the first time she addressed him formally by saying ‘Great Master Gu Ziyan’. Her voice was clearly melodious, but it sounded sharp to his ears…

He heaved a sigh, while pushing down that indescribable twitchy feeling. No, he must explain some notes to take care of to everyone and not ponder on messy affairs…

He was really worthy of being a Zither Great Master, giving directions to each group and every direction was essential. Everyone was serious and careful at this critical juncture.

He had just finished giving recommendations, when Xue Yilan’s voice was heard inside the cabin, ordering the first team to come.

The head group hardened their hearts and walked in according to the plan. A few seconds later, zither sounds were finally played… Because Xue Yilan had instructed them in advance, each time a team entered, nobody else was allowed to enter and take a peek. Otherwise, he would kill them as soon as he discovered them… Obviously, nobody dared to take risks after this threat, and could only stay outside to listen.

Since Gu Ziyan was an expert, he could tell which style was played from who while listening attentively. The first group’s exhibition wasn’t that bad. They followed his indications indeed. Even though at the beginning he could find some faults, after a while, the more they played the better they understood each other. The tune was enhanced to the point of almost being able to lift up the ship!

Such a huge noise coming from eight players altogether should be enough to suppress that red-clothed evildoer’s music, right?

Furthermore, they couldn’t even hear their opponent’s plucking, could it be they were being successful?

These doubts still had to leave Gu Ziyan, that some loud and clear notes like flowing water arose and got into their ears distinctly. The piece didn’t sound aggressive at all, but soft like clouds and clear like lightning! Don’t talk about the passengers in the ship, even outsider’s hearts would be stirred if they heard this kind of melody. Some even clapped.

No need to ask, this different type of music came from Xue Yilan, which meant that those eight competitors simply couldn’t suppress him!

After a few notes, the rhythm of the group was thrown into confusion and the harmoniousness was broken. A few musicians even changed cadence! They were copying Xue Yilan’s piece unconsciously…

Again, two other players switched tweedle. Merely a moment passed and six players out of eight already began to join Xue Yilan’s music. The two left were unable to go on and eventually followed suit.

The faces of the listeners changed. Some of them shouted impatiently, trying to remind their companions of the match. In any case, Xue Yilan didn’t forbid this…

Many people were clamoring outside. One voice was louder than another. However, the participants were deeply mesmerized and roared together like Yangtze River.

From beginning to end, Xue Yilan’s music was the leading piece, dancing elegantly in the highest heavens like a phoenix guiding a salvo of hundreds of birds. Soon, the throats became hoarse from yelling. They were unable to control the zither, and even less the players…

“STOP IT!” Gu Ziyan abruptly gave a loud shout, finally stopping people’s blind cryings successfully.

They turned their head towards him one after another.

He sighed and then waved his hand, making everyone gather around him.
