Yan Yinran listened attentively and felt that Yan Xiluo's words made sense. For her, she could dance anything.

One shouldn't be greedy and have too many choices. She mainly wanted to hear Yan Xiluo's advice.

"With my older sister personally guiding me as my instructor, I'm happy no matter what I do. I'll listen to my sister!"

She can improve in any sport she tries, and Yan Xiluo's guidance is the key.

Yan Xiluo has been busy lately, and she can't find her even if she wants to. Last time, with Yan Xiluo's guidance, she successfully won first place.

She knows she still has many shortcomings and needs to continuously learn and improve to become excellent.

"Let's see in a bit. This time, I'm not only the instructor, but also the original scriptwriting instructor. Let's assess your level first before making a decision."

She also had to create choreography... and it wasn't just students who participated; the choreography teachers also automatically signed up.

Her people must be carefully selected.

"Okay, sister, I'll take you to the classroom!"

Yan Yinran wasn't sure if Yan Xiluo was familiar with the location of the dance studio, but since they had run into each other, they could go together.

"OK."

Yan Xiluo followed beside her, walking in the direction she was going.

When she arrived at the dance studio, several students were already there. Yan Xiluo did not go in immediately, but waited outside.

Yan Yinran went in first to avoid suspicion, as she was afraid that others would gossip about their relationship. Ji Yumeng must have seen everything that day.

She felt a vague unease, sensing that this woman was up to no good and wasn't necessarily a peaceful person.

Yan Xiluo wore a baseball cap, the brim of which covered half of her face. At her age, she should be in college.

She finished her studies early, and passing students all thought she was a student at the school, as she was youthful and beautiful.

Some people even politely greeted her as "Hello, senior."

Yan Xiluo habitually looked down at her watch. She didn't plan to go in early; she wanted to go in when the time came and have her roll called directly.

She doesn't have the habit of waiting for others.

The evening breeze made her feel relaxed; the autumn wind was her favorite.

When the time came, she stepped into the classroom on time.

"gather."

The two words were crisp and clear, with a hint of sternness.

Everyone quickly lined up. Although they weren't in the same class, they had trained together and lined up in unison from tallest to shortest.

Everyone was at the welcome party, and they noticed Yan Xiluo that day. They all knew that she was Teacher Yingxi.

"I believe everyone knows who I am, but I still want to introduce myself again. I am Yingxi, and I will be your director teacher from now on, responsible for rehearsing your competition programs."

"There's no rehearsal tonight. I'm here to meet everyone, and then we'll assess your abilities and decide how to allocate the participants."

Yan Xiluo's expression was very serious, without a trace of a smile, and her voice was equally stern.

"Now, I'll call out names. First, to see if everyone is here, and second, to recognize everyone's faces."

Yan Xiluo took out the attendance list, and the names on the list were all carefully selected by her this morning.

...

"Very good, no one was late for our first meeting. Keep it up. Now I'll give you five minutes to prepare. In a bit, you'll take turns demonstrating a technical skill, and I'll see how good you are."

After Yan Xiluo finished speaking, she walked to the piano and started doing her own things.

No one dared to utter a sound; everyone simply followed orders.

Everyone went to the barre to warm up.

Ji Yumeng kept glancing at Yan Xiluo, then at Yan Yinran and Wei Yanyu, seemingly thinking about how to do something mischievous.

"Time's up, those who are ready can come in first."

When Yan Xiluo stood in the middle, she exuded authority in that instant.

She also took a notebook and pen, intending to score and record. When the roll call was just now, the people and names matched, but it might not be possible for her to remember the strengths and weaknesses of twenty people all at once.

She had too many things to do and couldn't remember them all; she also wanted to clear her mind.

...

"Okay, that's all for tonight. I'll make arrangements for the next time. I believe your homeroom teacher mentioned that there are a few reserve members, but that doesn't mean they have no chance of becoming permanent members. Even permanent members shouldn't feel secure; I can replace them at any time if they don't perform well."

"Furthermore, from now on, no one will be allowed to be late for my rehearsal classes. I don't have the habit of waiting for others. If you want to attend my rehearsal class, you have to follow my rules and arrive at the classroom half an hour early to warm up. I don't want anyone to get injured in my class because they haven't warmed up properly."

That's all I have to say for today, let's call it a day.

Yan Xiluo closed the notebook and sat down on the chair next to her.

Everyone was a little afraid of Yan Xiluo; she was too serious, and they didn't even dare to greet her...

I didn't dare say goodbye to her when I left.

This is even more frightening than their own school's professors.

After most of the people had left, Yan Yinran suddenly returned.

"Sister, you've been talking for so long, are you thirsty?"

Yan Yinran thoughtfully handed her Yan Xiluo's favorite drink, which she had just run downstairs to buy and then ran back up to bring to her.

"Thanks."

Are you confident in leading solo and group dances?

Yan Xiluo took the drink and suddenly looked up to ask.

In solo dance, no one can compare to Yan Yinran's overall skill level. Group dance goes without saying; a good lead dancer is essential. If Yan Yinran doesn't dance, then it can only be Wei Yanyu.

Wei Yanyu is the second strongest overall among them, but she is still a bit weaker than Yan Yinran.

In her mind, the most suitable candidate is still Yan Yinran.

As for duets and trios, you need to find partners of similar skill levels to avoid overemphasizing any one individual and causing the skill level to fluctuate too much.

Therefore, Yan Yinran was directly excluded from the duet and trio dances.

"Does your sister think I can do it?"

Yan Yinran looked at Yan Xiluo with a sense of surprise and disbelief.

"If you can't do it, who can?"

Yan Xiluo looked at her with amusement, her expression full of affirmation.

Yan Yinran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that if Yan Xiluo was so sure about her, then it must be true.

Yingxi is always fair and just, and would never make unfair decisions for the sake of personal relationships.

If that's the case, what does she have to worry about?

"Okay! If my sister thinks I can do it, then I'm confident! I'll give it my all!"

Yan Yinran was very happy and smiled brightly. Ji Yumeng, who was outside the door, heard the conversation and clenched her fists in anger.

Yan Yinran had just rushed back when she sensed something was wrong and immediately followed.

So she really did get in through connections! She calls Yingxi "Sister Yingxi," so they must have some kind of relationship.

Yingxi has already decided on the roles in advance! This is so unfair! Ji Yumeng was furious. She never expected that Yingxi, who was rumored to be fair and just, would be like this, using her connections to help her sister in private!

Ji Yumeng's eyes were filled with hatred as she gritted her teeth and stared at the two people inside.
