After returning to his own place, Elder Shan asked Disciple Fei, "What are you going to do now?"

“I will prepare for the competition and practice my zither art with Disciple Yuan until then. If what he said was true”that he had never played sitar before until recently, I believe that his skills will reach an unusually high level within a week before the tournament.”

"T-Wait a minute .. Did you just say Disciple Yuan just started playing the zither?" Elder Shan looked at him with wide eyes.

Disciple Fei nodded and said, "I know it is very difficult to believe such words, but I see no reason for him to lie, and he doesn't seem to be the type of person to lie about things like that."

"Hard to believe? Ha ha! That's hardly true!” Elder Shan suddenly started laughing, making him dumbfounded.

And he continued a while later, “With his comprehension ability, it would be more surprising if he did not learn so fast!”

"Is-is that?" Disciple Fei muttered with a slightly puzzled word.

“By the way, you can go now and get ready for the competition. I've been overworked by the Sect Master because of the Mystical Realm. If I don't finish this job before your competition starts, things will get even more complicated for me!” Elder Shan sighed.

“Then I won't bother you anymore. Thank you, Master, for your time.” Disciple Fei bowed to Elder Shan before leaving the place and returning to his own home to prepare.

Elder Shan shook his head with a bitter smile before returning to his own work.

Meanwhile, after returning to his own home, Yuan quit the game and continued cultivating in the real world until Yu Rou returned from school.

"Brothers! I have great news!” Yu Rou walked into her room while shouting.

"What's the problem?" ask Yuan.

“I just saw this from the forum when I got home, but there will be some kind of big competition going on in the Eastern Continent next week, and this is related to playing zither! Rumor has it that you can obtain Divine rank techniques if you reach the first place! Yu Rou said to him.

“Oh, that zither competition? I know about it because I will participate in it. ” Yuan responded calmly.

"WHAT?!"

Yu Rou almost stumbled to herself after hearing Yuan's unexpected words.

“K-You will participate in the music competition again?!” Yu Rou exclaimed afterward, her gaze on Yuan filled with shock and excitement.

“It's just an in-game competition, and I doubt I will be able to achieve good results because I just learned about sitar recently,” Yuan said.

“If I remember correctly, you even mastered the piano in less than 3 days!”

“Jenius, yes? I don't really like to associate myself with that word, but it's probably because I've been called out with such a word so many times that I'm tired of hearing it,” Yuan sighed.

“There's nothing you can do about it, brother. What do you expect to do? Calling you the opposite of yourself? If you are a genius, people will naturally call you one. ” Yu Rou said.

And he continued, “The only other way is not to let people know that you are a genius, but brother, that is easier said than done. How could one even hide their talent? Especially a person like you Even a fool would be able to say that you are a genius just by your appearance in something.”

“By the way, you will participate in this sitar competition, right? Although you can't see my face right now, I'm actually very sad because I won't be able to witness your brilliance in the competition, brother. ” Yu Rou sighed.

"Don't worry, there will always be other opportunities" Yuan said.

"I hope so"

A while later, after dinner, Yu Rou left Yuan's room, but she did not immediately return to her own room as usual and instead took a detour to the large warehouse behind the main house with Meixiu following behind her.

"Young Miss, this place is ..." Meixiu looked at this warehouse with a puzzled expression on her face. Why did Yu Rou suddenly decide to come to this place? It had been years since they visited this seemingly abandoned warehouse.

"Do you have a key for the lock?" Yu Rou asked him.

"Yes. Here's the key, Young Miss.” Meixiu gave him a somewhat rusty key the next moment.

A few seconds later, Yu Rou opened the heavy lock that kept the door closed for many years before going inside and pressing the button.

After a few flickers, the lights flashed, revealing the inside of the warehouse that had many shelves and storefronts inside, revealing the inside, and sitting in this showcase are gold trophies of all sizes and shapes won from small contests to big competitions with everything to do with music.

“No matter how many times I have come here and seen these trophies, this amazing sight has always left me speechless,” Yu Rou muttered in a low voice as she approached this storefront and looked at the golden cup.

[Given to Yu Tian for taking first place in the 23rd National Piano Competition]

[Given to Yu Tian for her stunning performance during ‘Battle of Talents’]

[Given to Yu Tian for a rank 1 spot in the Rising Stars Grand Prix]

More than three hundred such trophies filled the shelves and storefronts inside the huge warehouse, turning it into a kind of cup museum. One could only imagine how long it would take to gather all these trophies even for a group of geniuses, let alone one miracle” Yu Tian” whose name occupies every gold trophy in this room without a single one of them ranking below.first place!
