“K-You! What are you doing here?!" Fairy Fei pointed at Yuan with trembling fingers and a shocked expression on her face, leaving the disciples of the District Court dumbfounded.

“S-Senior Sister Fei? Are you all right? Do you know this Outer Court disciple? ” Disciple Ying decided to ask him.

"I ... I ..." Peri Fei fell silent. How should he answer such a question? Tell them that he was defeated by this Outer Court disciple in his own field of expertise?

"I-Murid this Outer Court .. is my assistant!" Fairy Fei gushed out without thinking.

"Your assistant?" They all looked at him with wide eyes.

‘Since when did Senior Sister Fei need an assistant?’ Disciple Feng wondered to himself.

‘Since when did I become his assistant?’ Yuan asked himself with his eyebrows raised in a funny way.

Fairy Fei immediately panicked, and she corrected herself after clearing her throat, “A-I mean to say that she is my disciple! Absolutely right! I am currently teaching him how to play the zither!”

"What?! You accept this Outer Court disciple as your disciple ?! ” Disciple Feng exclaimed in a confused voice. Why did Fairy Fei accept the Outer Court disciple as her disciple” a man at that” when she, an Inner Court disciple and her friend, had asked Fairy Fei to teach her the lute?

“She may not look like that but she has great talent, and I believe that she will eventually surpass me someday ” Fairy Fei spoke while trying her best not to choke on her own words because of how ridiculous it sounded to her.

Fairy Fei looked at Yuan with her heart pounding like crazy, but when she realized that Yuan didn't say anything, let alone mention her nonsense even a moment later, she said it, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"J-If you think I've made the mistake of accepting him as my disciple, why don't we let him play the zither so that you can determine if he's really worth it or not?" Fairy Fei suddenly suggested.

The disciples there turned to look at Yuan with suspicious gazes.

‘Can he really play the sitar?’ They wonder inwardly because usually only women will take the zither.

“What do you think, Disciple Yuan? Can you play the zither for us? One song alone was enough” Fairy Fei looked at Yuan with a stiff smile on her face.

“I don't mind, because I also want to play sitar again” Yuan nodded his head after thinking for a moment.

"Big! Get inside!" Fairy Fei's face beamed with delight after seeing Yuan's approval.

“Eh”

Disciple Ying and Disciple Feng looked at Fairy Fei with dumbfounded expressions on their faces, because Fairy Fei looked the most excited for some reason.

Moments later, Yuan entered the house of Fairy Fei and closed the door behind her before following Fairy Fei and the Inner Court disciples to the backyard of the house, where two Inner Court disciples were waiting.

“Welcome back, Senior Brother Fei. What took you so long? My ears are getting cold waiting for your next song!” One of the students there said.

"Hmm? Who'sis that? Eh? A student of the Outer Court? And a man at the time? Why is he here?” The other disciple asked after seeing Yuan's figure.

“Young Sister Zhao, Young Sister Gu, this is Disciple Yuan, an Outer Court disciple and also my disciple,” Fairy Fei introduced Yuan to the two girls and vice versa.

“Because it was only recently that I accepted him as my student.” Disciple Fei said.

“By the way, Disciple Yuan will play one song for us as an introduction.”

"You can use that zither over there." Disciple Fei pointed to the beautiful zither sitting on the table several meters away.

Yuan nodded and sat behind the zither a moment later.

‘Senior sister Fei actually let a man touch her zither? It's shocking to be underestimating’ The disciples there looked at Yuan who was sitting behind the zither with dumbfounded expressions on their pretty faces.

They all knew how much Disciple Fei valued his precious zither” so much that even they had never touched his zither before.

Meanwhile, Yuan looked at the elegant blue-colored zither before him with a calm gaze.

After a moment of silence, Yuan raised his head to look at Disciple Fei and asked him, "Which song should I play?"

“Do you remember the first song you played that day? You can play that one.”

Yuan nodded and took a deep breath before raising his hand slowly but subtly.

Next time” Ting~!

A string on the zither trembled, creating a clean and crisp sound that immediately attracted the hearts of the disciples sitting not far from it.

Another beautiful zither tone resounded in the area not even half a second later.

‘A-What feeling is this?’ They all wondered inwardly the indescribable feeling in their hearts, completely unaware that they had just been bewitched by the zither Yuan skill.

Meanwhile, Disciple Fei had long closed his eyes to fully enjoy Yuan's zither music.

Time passed by very quickly, and before the disciples realized it, Yuan played the final note on the zither.

"What do you think?" Yuan asked the disciples, making them wake up from a daze.

“I ah”

The disciples were silent, and they turned to look at Disciple Fei with a puzzled expression on their faces. Although it was clear that Yuan's appearance was superior when compared to the appearance of Disciple Fei that had occurred before Yuan's appearance, they did not dare to say it before his eyes, because it can make him angry and make them banned from listening to his performance in the future. .

“B-Can you play another song? I don't think I can tell your skills from just one song .. "Murid Zhao suddenly said.

When the other disciples heard Disciple Zhao's words, they quickly agreed with him, “Ya! Play another song for us so we can judge correctly!”
