"I'll be right back," Yuan said to Fei Yuyan after taking a bath, as it was time for her to have breakfast.

"Okay, I'll see you in a minute."

After returning to his room, Yuan exited the game and waited for Yu Rou to do her routine.

About an hour later, Yuan reentered the game to find Fei Yuyan casually sipping tea in the living room.

“Have you had breakfast?” Yuan asked him.

"Breakfast? No. gabe. I only eat once a week.” Fei Yuyan casually responded.

“Eh?” Yuan looked at him with wide eyes.

"Every week?! That's not healthy! Especially if you spend so much time practicing!” said him.

Fei Yuyan raised her eyebrows and said, “What are you talking about? As Cultivators, we do not need to eat as often as humans because we eat spiritual energy. In fact, most Cultivators treat food like snacks. ”

Yuan looked at Fei Yuyan with loose jaws. Since his breakthrough had mostly relied on monster cores and fortuitous encounters like the Dragon Gate Tower Jumping a Goldfish, he had no idea that he could fill his stomach with spiritual energy alone.

“Even if you can fill your stomach with spiritual energy It still sounds unhealthy” Yuan muttered, because he couldn't even imagine not eating for a whole week.

Furthermore, while spiritual energy might be able to fill one's stomach, what about his nutrition? Does spiritual energy have the necessary nutrients for one's body? What is the difference with drinking water to fill the stomach?

“If you want to eat something, you can eat without me. I can wait for you to come back before we start practicing.” Fei Yuyan said to him.

Yuan shook his head and said, “No, it's okay. I've eaten. We can start practicing whenever you are ready.”

Fei Yuyan raised her eyebrows. Is he eating in his room or what?

After putting away the question in his mind, Fei Yuyan tilted her head back along with the teacup, sipping tea at once.

"Okay, let's start training now." Fei Yuyan said to him afterwards.

Yuan nodded, and as he turned to walk out, Fei Yuyan suddenly said, “We can stay inside today; it is raining outside now.”

"Oh well." Yuan nodded again before sitting on the sofa.

A few minutes later, as soon as they were in position and prepared, the two of them started playing the zither.

Xuan Wuhan woke up an hour later with Min Li knocking on the door a few minutes later.

“Wow, it sounds even more impactful because we are inside a closed area,” Xuan Wuhan said with a slightly bewildered expression on her face after listening to her first song for the day.

“No, we didn't actually sleep last night. Instead, we spent the whole night playing sitar together” alone.” Fei Yuyan responded with a calm voice.

Xuan Wuhan's eyes widened, and he continued to stare at Fei Yuyan with a silent expression on his face.

"So let's continue." Fei Yuyan said to Yuan, and they continued the zither practice again.

Time passed quickly and before they knew it, it was already night again.

“OK, Student Yuan. That's enough for today. Rest now, and then we'll spend the whole day tomorrow to rest even more. After all, our body and mind must be in perfect condition before the competition.” Fei Yuyan said to him at the end of their training session.

"okay." Yuan nodded and went to take a bath first this time.

As soon as Yuan returned, Fei Yuyan went to clean herself up.

“What do you think, Yuan? Are you confident in your abilities? Do you think you will have a chance in 3rd place? I don't know much about the zither, but if someone like Disciple Fei could reach 7th place, you would definitely be able to reach 3rd place if not even first place! Xuan Wuhan said to him.

“I am also unsure about my current position as I am new to sitar and Pupil Fei is the only other sitar player I know and can compare to. However, whatever happens, I will play the zither to the best of my ability and hopefully, meet the expectations of Disciple Fei, ” Yuan said with a smile on his face.

“You are quite humble even though you have talent, Yuan. I really admire that. You are obviously already better than Disciple Fei who is already very well established and respected in the sitar community, yet you act equally. ”

“Well, I have learned at a very young age to never look down on others regardless of their situation, so I can only look up or be on par with someone, she said,” says Yuan.

“Your parents have taught you well then ” said Xuan Wuhan.

However, a bitter smile appeared on Yuan's face, and he said in a slightly desperate voice, “The only thing my parents taught me was music and instruments. Everything else is self-taught or taught by my sister. ”

“I-so? Then who taught you to be humble?” Xuan Wuhan asked, feeling a little awkward now.

A strange smile appeared on Yuan's face, and he said, "It took me a while, but I learned it after realizing why all my opponents were crying and staring at me with hatred on their faces after the music competition."

“Although I didn't notice it until it was too late, I always looked at my opponent with a cold and indifferent face. Maybe they mistook my natural expression for arrogance, because that's why I'm hated by so many people.”

"you? Arrogan and indifferent? I can't imagine it, especially the hated part.” XuanWuhan said.

Yuan chuckled and said, “I don't really remember most, but my sister will always tell me how much I've changed compared to my childhood. Maybe living most of my life as a disabled person has completely changed my character.”

“Eh? What did you just say? A cripple? You?"

Xuan Wuhan and Min Li stared at Yuan wide-eyed after he accidentally spilled some beans.
