Today he was visiting someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rang the doorbell, and the door was opened by a little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the little girl saw Lin Yuan at the door, her eyes suddenly widened in surprise. Her emotions were a bit excited, and she blurted out two words:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy Fish...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And behind the little girl, a young man was also shocked to see Lin Yuan, this influential figure on Blue Star, in their home. However, he was obviously more composed than the little girl:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Yuan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask if you are with Mr. Wei Shujing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am his daughter, and this is my brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl answered eagerly, her eyes burning as she looked at Lin Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan held a bag of fruit in his hand, smiled, and greeted them: \"I am here to visit Mr. Wei Shujing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visit to Wei Shujing was partly because the elderly man had helped him a lot. The other reason was that Lin Yuan and Qin Zhen planned a symphonic showdown and needed his help. Visiting in person seemed more sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan had already prepared a new symphonic work, now missing a conductor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, \"The Fate Symphony\" was conducted by Wei Shujing, and their collaboration was very delightful, so he intended to continue working with him on this new piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s eyes darkened upon hearing this: \"My dad is sick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl also looked sad, but still courteously invited Lin Yuan inside: \"Daddy is lying inside. He’ll be happy knowing you came to see him. He often talks about you to us these days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sick?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan felt a pang in his heart, put down the fruit, and entered a room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Shujing was lying on the bed, looking unwell, his complexion somewhat pale, with a thin oxygen tube attached to his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Yuan, the old man smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Wei, your health...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan felt a deep concern; he hadn’t expected the old man to look this ill. The elderly man he’d seen healthy just last time now needed an oxygen tube.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"People age; it’s inevitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man seemed at peace, still smiling despite the oxygen tube, as if happy to see Lin Yuan visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His daughter was displeased: \"Dad, what are you saying? Medicine is very advanced now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man also muttered: \"You can’t approach treatment with this mindset. It’s just cancer; we’ll get hospitalized and treat it slowly this afternoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cancer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan sighed, not asking further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cancer remains an unsolved problem, both on Blue Star and Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Yuan cared less about collaboration and asked the system within him: \"Is there anything that can help him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, host, the system cannot provide assistance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can do tasks...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan’s mood grew heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of music conducting, the elderly man had shared almost everything with Lin Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Lin Yuan, Mr. Wei’s status was akin to Yang Zhongming’s, deserving to be called teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him in such condition, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but feel sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Shujing said: \"You all need not comfort me. I know my health very well. I’ve lived long enough, just a pity I won’t hear little Lin’s music anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whenever you want to listen, I’ll play it for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan spoke earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man felt comforted: \"Your kind thought is enough. You probably came today for something else, didn’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a symphonic piece and wanted to collaborate with you, but I didn’t know about your condition before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve disappointed you; I can’t be of help anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please don’t say that, health is the most important!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan understood well what health meant, having experienced it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the system, he wouldn’t even be alive today. Unfortunately, the system could save him but not others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Shujing sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a pity I can’t conduct your symphony anymore; I don’t even know if I can hear your new work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You definitely will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan promised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smiled more broadly: \"I hope so. I can recommend a few very talented conductors whose abilities are no less than mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. Since it’s inconvenient for you, I’ll try it myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan knew conducting but wasn’t as skillful as the elderly man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were solutions; if necessary, he could trade with the system for relevant skills and conduct it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, Lin Yuan still wished to collaborate once more with this elder whom he respected most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll conduct yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man laughed, in good spirits: \"You can certainly give it a try yourself. I’ve taught you some things before, and your talent is great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s why you are my teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two people Lin Yuan could genuinely call teacher — Yang Zhongming, and Wei Shujing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having you call me teacher, I have no regrets anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Shujing’s smile grew even brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mindset was indeed positive, having grown old and looked at life and death with ease: \"This illness was discovered early. ’The Fate Symphony’ was my last time conducting. I knew then, so I treasured it, and felt grateful and moved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan showed his pupil’s respect: \"Please take care.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the doctor arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together with Wei Shujing’s children, Lin Yuan helped send the old man to the hospital’s special care ward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning home, Lin Yuan’s mood grew even heavier: \"System, I want to exchange for Master Level conducting skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan opened his eyes, as if something had added itself to his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without excitement or wonder, Lin Yuan immediately contacted the orchestra he collaborated with last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About a week later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan personally brought a recorded video to the hospital to visit Wei Shujing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Shujing’s health hadn’t improved, appearing even worse, speaking with evident weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when the old man saw Lin Yuan’s recorded video, his laughter was full of solace:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You conducted it very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s thanks to your teaching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better than the conducting, your symphonic piece was excellent, especially the fourth movement, with the choir. It’s amazing, even more stunning than The Fate Symphony. What’s its name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fourth movement is called ’Ode to Joy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ode to Joy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smiled again: \"Good name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ninth Symphony, composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven, was completed at the end of 1823.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also known as the \"Choral Symphony,\" it has four movements and is recognized in the music world as Beethoven’s highest achievement in the field of symphonies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan worked overtime to record it, hoping the elderly man could hear the piece soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say offering flowers to Buddha, he wished to dedicate this beloved symphonic work to his teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>",1154,"2026-06-05T16:39:03.629Z",1,"novelbin.me","c6249ee7bccf9339b0f5af882c7b5cc297229cdf202b02a353244578cd23f717",null,"all-rounder-artist-chapter-1649",1668,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fall-rounder-artist-cover.jpg"]
