Chapter 152: The Princess Won!!

The comments were also stunned.

[… Is this real? ]

[ Then, am I the one who doesn’t know how to appreciate it? Why do I feel that Xia Wanyuan played it better? ]

[ Bring me along, the one in front. I think Xia Wanyuan’s performance is more infectious. ]

[ Master Guo probably underestimated the enemy? I didn’t expect Xia Wanyuan to really have some skills. However, I still think highly of Master Guo. Master Guo must have not played seriously just now. ]

On the stage, Guo Tian looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting calmly in a long dress, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

The gazes of his colleagues and audience were a little strange. Guo Tian composed himself and became serious.

“I wasn’t serious just now. Now, please follow me.” As Guo Tian spoke, he started playing the zither. Compared to before, he was indeed much more serious.

Almost at the moment Guo Tian rose, Xia Wanyuan strummed the zither and followed him.

The second half of the song was more relaxed than the first half. With the help of everyone, the Cowherd could meet the Weaver at Magpie Bridge once a year with the permission of the celestial heavens.

At this moment, the rhythm was relatively faster. In order to show off his skills, Guo Tian had specially changed his tone in many places. However, Xia Wanyuan’s zither music had always followed closely behind him and could not be shaken off.

Although they had the same tone and rhythm, everyone could clearly hear two different voices.

Guo Tian’s melody was very good. He was skilled and his music was smooth. As expected of a member of the National Guqin Association.

Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan’s zither music followed Guo Tian closely. No matter how he flaunted his skills or how he changed them, Xia Wanyuan’s zither music did not stop.

It was smooth and natural.

As time passed, the Cowherd finally welcomed their first meeting with the Weaver. The Milky Way was their foil, and all the magpies in the world flapped their wings to build a long bridge for them.

At that moment, the sound of their zither gradually became lighter. Guo Tian followed the rhythm of the melody. The sound of the zither was smooth, but it lacked a few genuine emotions.

As for Xia Wanyuan’s zither music, it naturally made one feel relieved, grateful, happy, reluctant, emotional, and a series of other mixed emotions. It was as if everyone had become the main characters, experiencing the ups and downs of his life.

After the song ended, Guo Tian’s expression was extremely ugly.

He had originally thought that Xia Wanyuan had faked her live-stream, but from her performance just now, Xia Wanyuan did have some ability.

“Little Friend Xia is indeed not bad. I believe that your music was composed by yourself. I believe the netizens also believe it.” Guo Tian restrained the emotions in his eyes and wore a smile on his face. He did not mention the outcome at all and instead put on the posture of an elder.

“So, who won?”

Xia Wanyuan retracted her hand from the zither strings and looked at Guo Tian coldly. Her cold gaze made Guo Tian’s heart turn cold.

“For little friend Xia to be able to keep up with my pace means that you have true ability. For a young person to reach your level is truly not bad. Let the competition be considered a draw. I am also considered an old person in the ancient zither world. If I continue to compete, won’t others say that I don’t give young people space to grow? Haha.”

Guo Tian looked unhappy, but he endured it in the face of the roomful of audience and the cameras in the live-stream.

Just after hearing Xia Wanyuan’s zither music, he knew that her skills were not inferior to his. If he continued to compete, everyone would probably laugh at him.

However, he could not admit that he had lost. Back then, he had said that he had used his career as a bet.

As a result, he could only consider himself as an older generation, hoping that Xia Wanyuan would be sensible and give both parties an out.

“I’ll play first in the next round, you follow.”

Xia Wanyuan completely ignored Guo Tian’s gaze. Her red lips parted slightly, causing Guo Tian’s heart to turn cold.

[ A little… So valiant, I love her. ]

[ Actually, Xia Wanyuan has already proven herself to be capable. There’s no need to chase after him relentlessly. Isn’t this too disrespectful to your senior? ]

[ The person in front, what’s wrong with you? It’s that so-called Master Guo who insisted on fighting with Yuan Yuan to win, okay? So he was allowed to casually say that she was faking it and not allowed others to challenge him? ]

[ Isn’t Xia Wanyuan a little too arrogant? She challenged him just like that? Who gave her the confidence? ]

Amongst the audience, when they heard Xia Wanyuan’s words, they also began to stir.

The fact that Xia Wanyuan could keep up with Guo Tian’s pace meant that she was capable. However, if Xia Wanyuan’s skills were better than Guo Tian’s, that would be too much.

After all, Guo Tian had been famous for a long time, while Xia Wanyuan was only 20. Everyone was somewhat suspicious.

Ignoring everyone’s doubts, Xia Wanyuan placed her hands on the zither and looked at Guo Tian. “Please.”

Guo Tian had no choice but to sit back down.

The lights in the theater dimmed, leaving only two beams of light on Xia Wanyuan and Guo Tian.

An extremely high note of the zither cut through the darkness, making one’s heart tremble.

Following that, Xia Wanyuan’s ten fingers danced as the deep and melodious sound of battle rang out. An army of thousands marched over on the smoke of war.

As the battle began, the sound of the zither became even faster. Xia Wanyuan’s hands, which were playing the zither, could no longer be seen, only a blur.

In the beginning, Guo Tian could barely keep up with Xia Wanyuan’s pace. But from the moment Xia Wanyuan increased her speed, Guo Tian clearly felt that his strength was insufficient.

Xia Wanyuan’s speed had changed too quickly and the rhythm was too strong. Sweat broke out on Guo Tian’s face as he tried his best to keep up with Xia Wanyuan’s tune.

As a result, although the melody could barely keep up, his aura did not follow at all.

Xia Wanyuan’s zither melody was like a war song that urged thousands of troops on the battlefield, stirring up the hot blood in everyone’s hearts.

On the other hand, Guo Tian’s playing was stuttering, as if he was a defeated general who had been beaten up.

After the song, there was no need for words. Everyone knew who was better and who was worse.

“I hope that Master Guo will keep your promise.” Xia Wanyuan smiled and stood up to leave.

The president of the Guqin Association had been reveling in the sound of the zither. By the time he reacted, Xia Wanyuan had already walked away.

On the stage, Guo Tianzheng looked indignantly and awkwardly at Xia Wanyuan’s back.

President Cai Qin walked onto the stage and bowed to the audience. “Thank you for your support. Since the member of the association have agreed to a bet, we should keep our promise. From now on, Guo Tian will be removed from the Ancient Zither Association.”

Upon hearing Cai Qin’s words, Guo Tian suddenly raised his head. Flames flickered in his eyes, but he had said those words himself. It was useless to say anything now, so he could only leave the scene dejectedly.

Initially, the outcome of this match was without a doubt in everyone’s eyes.

Hence, when the topic “Xia Wanyuan, Guo Tian, PK zither skills” appeared on the trending topic, everyone was calm.

It was obvious who won and who lost.
