The next day, when Duanmu Ci played the background music at the Duanmu Hall, it naturally drew a chorus of praise.

It's absolutely beautiful! Yun Yun would bet she'd never heard such beautiful classical Chinese instrumental music before. Even Su Wuyu's eyes lit up with a strange light when she looked at Duanmu Ci.

Duanmu Ci, however, felt that it was nothing. If even Zigong, who was proficient in rites and music, and Li Guinian, a court musician who was famous throughout the world, could not produce music that would be applauded by the audience when they "combined", then wouldn't they be undeserving of their reputation?

The vice president of the dance department that Yunyun had mentioned also arrived. Duanmu Ci recognized him; his name was Chu Guang, and like his name, he was a very sunny boy. After Duanmu Ci explained some basic movements to him, a new round of rehearsals began at the Duanmu Hall.

With the music playing, everyone's enthusiasm was clearly boosted, and their coordination improved significantly. Duanmu Ci watched from the sidelines, quite satisfied. However… Su Wuyu and Chu Guang's coordination wasn't very good.

Chu Guang was too reserved. Perhaps Su Wuyu's beauty distracted him, or perhaps her cold aura put a lot of pressure on him, so he didn't dance very freely. Moreover, Su Wuyu's movements were also stiff, as if she wasn't used to dancing with a man; in any case, it was very awkward.

"That won't do!" Duanmu Ci urged the two of them to pay more attention.

However, the effect wasn't very good; even Duanmu Ci felt it wasn't satisfactory. This wasn't just a matter of coordination, but also of overall presence. Was Chu Guang unattractive? Of course he was; you could tell from the way the girls looked at him. But in this world, there are many times when it's not just about looks; sometimes, presence is also crucial.

Chu Guang's temperament was also good, but compared to Su Wuyu, he was undoubtedly inferior. According to Yun Yun's private words, Chu Guang dancing with Su Wuyu was like a toad hopping around in front of a swan.

Chu Guang couldn't take it anymore and left the field drenched in sweat. He said to Duanmu Ci, "Teacher Duanmu, please find someone more capable. I really can't handle this."

"Should we find someone more capable?" Duanmu Ci asked. "Where is the capable one?"

"You're so wise, Teacher Duanmu." Chu Guang smiled brightly. (To be continued...)
