Chapter 470 - A Shockingly Talented Genius
Even though Ning Xuemo has played two parts already, but no one wanted to halt her.
Eventually — the entire song 《A Moonlit Night among Flowers by the Spring River》ended, along with the lingering sound of the tunes.
There was a moment of silence. But then, a thunderous applause echoed throughout the ship!
Practically, all the musicians stood up to clap their hands heavily for Ning Xuemo’s performance! Including three examiners of the committee! And even the strictest teacher wouldn’t be able to pick faults with her!
The three judgers complimented her in unison: “Only Heaven has such a piece! Which human has ever heard it?”
{tl: in unison… lol… I don’t know if to change it in ‘one of them voiced out the same opinion they shared’ or leave it as a ‘threesome chorus of experienced elders’ cough cough}
Gu Ziyan also sighed: “Hearing Lady Xue’s song, makes this Gu feel I have learned in vain! Lady Xue is fully worthy of Great Master title! This time, Lady Xue is the First!”
Ning Xuemo laughed gracefully: “I don’t deserve your flatteries”
To tell the truth, she wasn’t that interested in the First-Rank position. Instead, she wanted the prize — Flamboyant Crystal Tree.
{Flamboyant Tree = Crystal Poinciana Tree}
Her eyes shined while shifting her gaze towards that object, rejoicing that it will be finally hers!
She then refused kindly: “Thank you, Your Honorable Gu. Right now, this zither should be given back to its rightful owner”
Gu Ziyan shook his head: “The zither is not mine. It just happened that I picked it up, worried about letting it waste. If Lady Xue wishes for it to be returned, then you should look for the real possessor”
Ning Xuemo was shocked. But since she was extremely intelligent, she casted a glance at Yan Ziyuan.
Meanwhile, Yan Ziyuan’s face paled, while some dark glints flashed in her eyes.
Previously, she believed that in the end he wouldn’t hate her that much, but she thought too much! She just looked at her zither secretly, and never imagined he took it because it was wasteful to leave it where it was… Moreover, he even wanted to give it away…
Yan Ziyuan, unrequited love is a disease! You should be punished!
You should be cut in half!
She smiled faintly: “Xue Xue, that zither is mine, actually. Can I have it back? I will gift you another one in return”
Ning Xuemo didn’t decline. In fact, she handed her the musical instrument very happily: “You don’t need to offer me another one! I am in the middle of a trip, so it would be very troublesome”
After receiving the zither, Yan Ziyuan plucked some strings softly. Tinkling sounds arose. Her expression was very odd: both cherishing and absent-minded.
In the meantime, Gu Ziyan was observing her. But then, he suddenly smiled.
Did she still treasure this zither?
He remembered that in that year, she really loved it. No matter where they went, she would always take it with her. She wouldn’t bump into anyone, nor let them touch it. — Except him, obviously…
He was the one who chose it for her. He also knew the reason why she was taking very good care of it, but at that time he only felt sick…
CLANK! Yan Ziyuan abruptly scratched the zither with both her hands!
Seven strings fell apart!
Everyone’s attention was on her, and all of them were puzzled.
Even though it wasn’t an unique zither, but the quality of the workmanship was unrivaled, hence its value was considerably high. However, who would have expected that Yan Ziyuan would suddenly break the strings!
Gu Ziyan’s smile stiffened. Afterwards, he clenched his hands tightly, as he shouted: “Ziyuan!”
But Yan Ziyuan didn’t turn her head at him immediately. Instead, she kept on splitting the soundboard with a strike of her palms. The wood was divided into two parts…! …Ruined!
As soon as she finished, she finally looked back at his livid expression. She smiled composedly: “This zither is defective. I wanted to destroy it a long time ago, but only now I could”
Gu Ziyan’s face lost all the colors. He continued to clench and loosen his fists, unable to voice out his thoughts.
