Some of her points were heard for the first time as they were overlooked and never pointed out by the four judges.

Ning Xuemo spoke only a few sentences, but Noble Du felt really enlightened. Won over, his previous casual approach became sincere!

Waiting for Ning Xuemo to finish talking, he tucked his sleeves in and clasped his hands: “Thank you so much! Lady Xue is indeed a Zither Great Master, this Du has learned a lot from you!”

No matter which field, including zither players, powerful and learned figures were respected.

The examiners didn’t glare at her with disdain anymore as their impressions towards her changed. In fact, they now regarded her as an authentic Great Master.

Many musicians present came from wealthy families, so like Noble Du, they also wished to spend money on her critique.

However, Ning Xuemo lazily sat down: “It is late now and is better to carry on with the competition and complete it as soon as possible. For those who want to, I will share my thoughts right after the four judges evaluations.”

She was dignified and bore the aura of a Great Master thus she had reasons to act pretentiously!

No one dared oppose her now.

The zither event continued to proceed.

Sure enough, after the review committee expressed their opinions, the players would pull out the fee in order to hear Ning Xuemo’s judgement.

Her comments were so flawless that all the following contestants were both satisfied and felt they benefited from them.

Their gazes became even more respectful and admiring.

Yan Ziyuan gloated internally while listening to Ning Xuemo. Since Yan Ziyan was a beautiful girl, when she sat down, many youngsters’ gazes followed her, however Ziyuan would, from time to time, glance at Gu Ziyan. His eyes were dark and looked like black whirlpools. Her heart skipped a beat and she looked away first.

No. He had no chances anymore. She must learn to let go.

Gu Ziyan also lowered his eyes and drank a mouthful of tea. The once lively and candid girl who would always revolve around him, had become so indifferent towards him.

The drink suddenly tasted acidic and made his whole mouth feel bitter.

At the beginning, he wasn’t very clear about his feelings. He obviously couldn’t stand her and didn’t want her to pester him. However, when she did eventually stop, he found himself feeling frustrated as if he had lost something. After not seeing her anymore, to his surprise, he started to miss her. Occasionally, he would even dream about her.

At first, he wasn’t interested in being part of the judges panel but after knowing that Yan Ziyuan would be taking part, he unexplainably agreed.

He was the one who no longer wanted to be her zither teacher and didn’t cherish her, so why did he feel jealous when he realized she found another instructor? He was even jealous of another woman!

Gu Ziyan lifted his hand to hide two coughs. He wasn’t feeling very well, and sat down with difficulty while his head felt dizzy.

As soon as Yan Ziyuan heard him cough, she shot him a quick glance and noticed that his face was paler. She immediately understood that his chronic illness has showed up again.

If it was in the past, she certainly would have rushed over and inquired about his health, while preparing the medicine she carried along her body. Even now she still possessed the drugs meant for him.

Habits were hard to break, sometimes.

Yan Ziyuan rubbed the herbs in her sleeve, thinking that his health wasn’t her concern anymore. Someone else would take care of him instead.
