Chapter 554

"Some thought it was good, while others dismissed it."

Scarlett suddenly shouted loudly from the audience.

"Bai Xiao Ling sang incredibly well! She is a true goddess-level superstar!"

Many nodded subconsciously, but quite a few also frowned slightly.

Seeing how close Su Meng and Bai Xiao Ling were, how could they possibly admit it out of spite for the master and hatred for the bird?

Su Meng didn't mind, simply saying with a smile.

"Thank you, beautiful Lady Scarlett."

"Actually, Bai Xiao Ling, just like you, also has the identity of an actor."

"She is a well-known actor in Dragon Country."

What? Many were slightly surprised.

She sings so insanely, yet she is also an actor?

A strange look flashed in Su Meng's eyes.

"However, her true identity is neither a singer nor an actor."

"She is a current student at Dragon Country Yinyuexue Academy."

"To be precise, a student in the Traditional Music Department!"

"And today you will also have the honor of hearing our first traditional music duet!"

What? The scene instantly fell deathly silent.

That superstar with such powerful aura, like a queen descending to the world, is actually just a student?

And what she studies is actually... traditional music?

As she spoke, Bai Xiao Ling walked back onto the stage.

But at this moment, she was vastly different.

She wore a large red cape and held a shiny suona in her hand!

In the live broadcast rooms of Dragon Country, it suddenly exploded into chaos.

"Damn, if the Sect Leader hadn't said it, I would have forgotten that the Great Guardian hasn't graduated yet!"

"Isn't it '660'? No way, the Great Guardian can actually play the suona?"

"How fresh? Let me educate you: the Great Guardian studied under Hu Zhengyuan, the number one suona player in the country! Oh right, now Hu Zhengyuan can only be considered second."

"Passing by from Capital Yinyuexue Academy: Bai Xiao Ling is known as the number one talented lady of Capital Yinyuexue Academy; just with certificates to prove it, she has already mastered over a dozen instruments!"

"I kneel before the Great Guardian; I always thought the Great Guardian was best at the guzheng."

"Gufeng Sect Leader plus Thousand-Finger My Lord, a god-level scene is about to happen!"

In the large classroom of the Traditional Music Department at Capital Yinyuexue Academy, Hu Zhengyuan smiled so widely his mouth wouldn't close.

This is my direct disciple!

That old thief Liu Huan, don't even think about snatching her from me!

The classroom also boiled over, and Xiao Ying jumped straight up.

"My Lord Sect Leader is mighty! My Lord Thousand-Finger is mighty!"

"Defeat those foreigners! Uphold the prestige of our Sun Moon Demon Sect!"

Beibeta's two eyes turned into little peach blossoms.

"Sister Xiao Ling is so cool! So handsome, isn't she?!"

Not just them, but all the students in the entire classroom boiled over.

This is our classmate, yet she is performing in front of those world-class musicians?

And it is clearly a performance meant to crush the venue!

Although that song "" was explosive before, it was singing after all.

But this time, they are using the signature skill of our Traditional Music Department!

"It's over!"

In the office of Capital Yinyuexue Academy, Troupe Leader Wu Wu Shanhong slapped his forehead and called out in regret.

Someone asked in confusion.

"Troupe Leader, isn't this your junior sister? What do you mean 'it's over'?"

Wu Wu Shanhong wore a bitter smile on his face.

"I originally planned to wait until my junior sister graduates, then recruit her into our troupe as the guzheng principal."

"Now it looks like there is absolutely no hope for that."

Qin Qianyan, however, dismissed it, a motherly smile appearing on her face.

"Didn't you already mentally prepare yourself for this?"

"Ever since my junior sister met Su Meng, besides 'Qian Yu Tian Xia', when has she specifically performed the guzheng?"

"Our Traditional Music Troupe's pool is still a bit small."

"But my junior sister and Xiao Meng together... tsk tsk tsk... they really match!"

Everyone subconsciously looked at the screen.

Su Meng and Bai Xiao Ling, one sitting and one standing, one black and one red.

Both have top-tier looks, both have top-tier temperament; they are indeed a perfect match!

……

In the Magic Capital Folk Orchestra, someone nudged the suona lead, Chen Dongdong.

"Old Chen, isn't Bai Xiao Ling your junior sister?"

"How's her suona playing?"

Chen Dongdong glanced at the conductor and shook his head.

"Do you know why the conductor wants Junior Sister to be the guzheng lead?"

Some shook their heads, some asked in confusion.

"Isn't it because her guzheng playing technique is excellent?"

A strange expression crossed Chen Dongdong's face.

"You all know the conductor and I are fellow disciples under the same master, and we've always been close."

"So the reason the conductor wants Junior Sister to be the guzheng lead is so I won't lose my job!"

Huh? The whole room was dumbfounded.

"You mean to say… Bai Xiao Ling's suona playing technique has already surpassed yours?"

Chen Dongdong added.

"You all know that funeral album Su Meng put out, *A Peaceful Road to the West*, right?"

"When he was arranging the scores, Junior Sister was his assistant!"

The conductor nodded and said lightly.

"Fourth Brother, now you see how well-meaning I've been?"

Chen Dongdong was so moved he nearly burst into tears.

"Third Brother, you're still the best to me…"

Everyone looked at him, then at the conductor.

Suddenly they felt they were shipping a strange CP.

……

On stage, Su Meng regained his composure.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the erhu and suona duet—"

"*Xi*!"

Holy crap!

Offstage, Wu Guangren's face suddenly changed.

He quickly grabbed two tissues from the table, swiftly rolled them into two paper balls, and stuffed them into his ears.

Even that wasn't enough—he clamped both hands tightly over his ears.
