episode 210

After Yuan and Fei Yuyan's appearance, the judges pondered before giving their verdict.

Elder Jing turned to look at Senior Zou and Song Ling’er. Since he was the most inexperienced of the three, he wanted to let the experts go first so that his assessment was not too far away, causing him to lose face.

However, neither Senior Zou nor Song Ling’er spoke a moment later, causing Elder Jing to raise her eyebrows.

Then he turned to look at Yuan and Fei Yuyan. After cleared his throat, elder Jing gave his verdict first for the first time.

“This is the first time I have heard such unique music, and I have to say, it was really a positive new experience overall. The synchronization between the two of you is also fantastic. However, compared to your previous appearance, especially you, the black masked youngster, it was very lacking and disappointing if I was honest. I expected more, but unfortunately Seven points from me.”

“”

The audience fell silent during Elder Jing's verdict, and no one made any noise afterwards, as they also felt that it was a fair enough judgment.

However, Senior Zou and Song Ling’er turned to look at Elder Jing with a frown on their faces.

‘This person... He also can not imagine their appearance?’ Senior Zou was speechless, but he wasn't too surprised, as he also almost missed it.

Senior Zou then turned to look at Song Ling’er, who was frowning even deeper than her pretty face, causing her to swallow nervously.

“I I'll give you ten points.” Senior Zou suddenly said, making elder Jing and the audience dumbfounded.

"What's? Ten points? Are you sure of your decision, Daoist Zou? I don't mean to doubt your judgment, but how can you give them the same score you gave Ai Wan and Wei Kang who were clearly superior? I hope you are not affected by their previous appearance” Elder Jing cannot help but question Senior Zou's decision.

Senior Zou shook his head and said, "I'll let Senior Song explain …"

They turned to look at Song Ling’er, who spoke in a calm yet cold voice a moment later, "If you can't understand why Daoist Zou gave them ten points instead of seven embarrassing points, You are not qualified to be a judge in this competition. If it were not for my respect for the Heaven and Earth Palace, I would have you removed from your position as a judge. ”

After his cold welcome, the startling elder Jing, Song Ling’er turned to look at Fei Yuyan and Yuan.

“Once again, you have exceeded my expectations. Ten No, thirteen points from me.” Song Ling’er said, his gaze directly on Yuan's figure.

“A-What? Did Senior Fairy Song just say ‘thirteen points’? ”

"Unless we all hear things” I think he did it …"

“Is it possible to give more than ten points? And why thirteen points?”

"Maybe it was to redeem Elder Jing's seven points, making it a total of 30 points …"

“But why did he do that? Even Senior Zou gave them ten points. I can't understand the reason they do it.”

The audience became in an uproar after hearing Senior Zou and Song Ling’er's confusing decision.

After all, how could they give the Yuan team a perfect score when Ai Wan and Wei Kang could not achieve such a score after playing God Descends from Heaven, either, a song that is objectively harder to play?

"You must be wondering why I gave you such a score." Song Ling’er suddenly said as she looked towards Fei Yuyan who had a confused expression on her face.

After hearing Song Ling’er's words, Fei Yuyan nodded with a puzzled expression on her face. While he was quite satisfied with their performances, he didn't think it was worth it for the high score.

Song Ling’er then said, "Your overall appearance is good, but it's not very outstanding, and it would be worth at most 7 points if not for other factors."

"Other factors …?" Fei Yuyan raised her eyebrows.

Song Ling’er nodded and said, "Your partner's appearance."

‘Performance Yuan?’

Song Ling’er continued, Your “Means showed a surprising level of talent and skill by following your steps perfectly, which resulted in extra points. I wouldn't normally do something like this, but I know very well that he can perform much better if he's not restricted by you.

“If he plays the zither at his own level without any restrictions, his performance will definitely get better. However, if he does that, you won't be able to play together, just due to the fact that the difference between your abilities is huge, and this isn't a solo competition, so he sacrificed his own appearance in order to fit yours.”

“”

Fei Yuyan was shocked speechless after knowing the real reason behind their verdict, and she turned to look at Yuan with a sad expression on her face.

“Sorry, Disciple Yuan Looks like I will be a burden to you no matter what I do” Fei Yuyan said to her a while later with teary eyes.

"I .." Yuan didn't know what he had to say in this situation because this was the first time he was in such an awkward situation.

“You don't have to say anything to me. I know that I can't be compared to you, nor can I pursue you, and it's not your fault. Although I will probably continue to be a burden until the end of this competition, let's play to our best ability, okay?” Fei Yuyan said to him after wiping his eyes and showing a smile to him.

“”

After a moment of silence, Yuan suddenly turned to look at Song Ling’er and said, "I have a suggestion, Senior Song."

"What's that?" Song Ling’er raised her eyebrows curiously.

“As you said, I'm not doing my best, and our performance is just above average, so we don't deserve a score that high no matter how you play it. Therefore, let me”alone”to play another song to redeem points, or at least justify it.” Yuan said, surprising him and everyone there.
