Chapter 221: The Master of Finding Sounds
Everyone's eyes were drawn to her. Yan Luo's dark pupils reflected the outline of the man as he walked towards her.
The man walked towards her in a well-ironed suit. He had a natural elegance and reserve about him, but his deep and cold eyes made this elegance seem almost indifferent. However, when he looked at Yan Luo, that indifference instantly turned into tenderness.
The host saw the newcomer and hurried forward to greet him, "It seems our competition is exciting enough to attract Master Yu."
Yu Nanchen ignored him and sat down in the first row of VIP seats, facing Yan Luo, staring at her without blinking.
The white neck, delicate collarbone and beautiful right-angled shoulders are all exposed, which is not good.
The host came over and asked, "Mr. Yu, are you here for Miss Yan?"
Yu Nanchen looked at Yan Luo and said, "Yes."
Because Yu Nanchen was sitting in the first row, except for the host, Yan Luo and Yan Shasha on the stage who could see who his eyes were on, the rest of the people didn't know who this 'yes' was for, except for some insiders.
Everyone thought that Yu Nanchen came for Yan Shasha. After all, the Yan family had a prominent background, which the Yan family could not compare to. Most importantly, Yan Luo had a bad reputation. She was okay as a female companion, but absolutely not as a legitimate girlfriend.
The host saw the man's eyes were fixed on Yan Luo, and instantly realized that he had praised the wrong person, and he felt extremely angry.
He forced a smile and said, "Now please enjoy the piano piece "Canon" performed by Ms. Yan Shasha."
Yan Shasha walked towards a piano placed at the edge of the stage.
She nodded slightly to the audience, took her seat, placed her hands on the black and white keys, and began to play.
The music begins, simple yet rich, soft like the sunshine in winter, soothing, warm and peaceful.
The people in the audience were mesmerized by the performance. One has to say that Yan Shasha has a solid foundation in piano, otherwise she would not have won the championship of the socialite contest. After all, the judges in the audience are all professionals.
After the song ended, Yan Shasha stood up and bowed deeply to the audience, who burst into warm applause.
Her eyes fell on Yu Nanchen, but Yu Nanchen was staring at the people waiting in the wings. She clenched her teeth tightly, wondering why he didn't even bother to look at her!
The host looked at Yan Luo and asked, "Ms. Yan, what is your song for today's competition?"
"Canon."
These two words are thought-provoking. Isn't this a naked challenge?
Yan Luo straightened his back and walked towards the piano.
Yan Keke in the audience was very nervous. She was holding something tightly in her hand and there was a sinister light in her eyes.
Seeing this, Liang Jing, who was standing by, nudged Qiao Sen with her elbow. Qiao Sen looked over and narrowed his eyes.
After Yan Luo sat down, questioning voices arose.
"It's so rude. He doesn't even interact with everyone."
"That's right, she's not friendly at all, otherwise Master Yu would look down on her."
"How embarrassing! If I were her, I would find a crack in the ground to crawl into."
"Yan Shasha's piano skills are obvious to all. Even piano masters praise her. Who does Yan Luo think she is?"
"That's right, you're just pretending to be a big shot here!"
Just as Qiao Sen was about to stand up, Liang Jing pulled him back, "Don't cause trouble!"
"I can't stand their nonsense!"
Liang Jing said, "Let them shut up for a while!"
Yan Luo placed his hands on the piano keys, and then the black elves danced alternately.
The woman's posture was elegant, and the sound of the piano was melodious and graceful, as if there was a kind of magic that made people intoxicated.
The three judges in the audience suddenly widened their eyes and looked at each other, seemingly unsure.
Suddenly, the piano music stopped.
Yan Luo watched as several needles appeared from the gaps between the black and white keys, and then disappeared.
She sneered, what a trivial trick.
The judges didn't know why the piano music was interrupted and felt a little disappointed.
The questioning voices arose again.
"Did you forget the score?"
"Is this all you practice when you usually communicate?"
“You can tell at a glance that he’s not professional.”
......
Yan Luo stood up, walked to the musical instrument area, picked up a violin and bow, put them on his shoulders, and then began to pull the strings to continue the unfinished song.
The only sound in the hall was melodious music, and everyone held their breath.
Yan Luo's fingertips danced on the strings of the piano, and the people in the audience were infected by the beauty. They were still immersed in the perfect music until the piano ended.
Yan Luo put the violin aside and said, "I have finished my performance. Thank you everyone."
The three judges stood up one after another.
"Hello, Miss Yan. I'm Danielton, a professor at Berkeley College. I wonder if you are interested in studying in Berkeley?" The blond-haired, blue-eyed man pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose.
The brown-haired man gave her an admiring look. "Hello, Miss Yan. I am George, the principal of Manville Conservatory of Music. I heard that Miss Yan is only 20 years old, which is the right age for schooling. We at Manville Conservatory of Music welcome you."
Zuo Wenyu, the headmistress of the Huaguo Conservatory of Music, smiled faintly, "We in China need talents like you. I wonder if Miss Yan can play any other musical instruments? And I want to know if you have any relationship with Master Xunyin?"
When the master of searching for sounds was mentioned, the audience began to discuss it.
She was a genius who was proficient in all kinds of musical instruments. Various countries invited her to perform, but she always used her busy schedule as an excuse. Occasionally, when she was in a good mood, she would appear in public.
She is aloof and cold. Whenever she performs, she always wears a fox mask and never shows her true face. So far, no one has ever seen her true appearance.
Yan Luo said nothing, walked to the cello and played "The Swan".
The sound of the piano flows slowly, like rippling water waves or a melody from nature, showing the elegant posture of a pure white swan floating with its head held high. Such a beautiful picture easily appears before people's eyes.
Then there are the guzheng, erhu and liuqin.
Everyone was shocked because Yan Luo not only knew how to play these instruments, but was also very proficient at them.
At this time, a man stood up and said, "Since the competition is for the piano, if you stop playing in the middle, it means you have lost the competition. Even if you can play other instruments, it will be useless."
Liang Jing stood up and said, "I think there must be a reason why Yan Luo stopped playing the piano."
The man laughed, "No matter what the reason, the competition was about piano. She didn't finish playing, which means she is not as good as others."
Liang Jing glanced at the man coldly, walked towards the stage with a paper bag, and took out an exquisite box from the bag.
At the same time, Yan Shasha, who was standing on the edge of the stage, had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, just as her hunch was, Liang Jing took out a mask from the box.
Yan Luo took it and put it on. She waved to the host, whose brain froze for a moment, then he quickly ran over and handed her the microphone.
Yan Luo smiled and looked at everyone, "Hello everyone, I am Xun Yin."
Then her eyes met Yu Nanchen's, as if asking him, are you surprised? Are you surprised?
Yu Nanchen narrowed his peach blossom eyes, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his lips. The little thing is really not simple!
Yu Han excitedly shook Madam Yu's hand, "Look, my sister-in-law is a master of finding music! Who said she is unlearned? She can play all those musical instruments! What's so good about Yan Shasha! She has only been able to play the piano for so many years?"
Madam Yu was very shocked and has not yet recovered.
Xu Huiru smiled, "Look at how good our Nanchen's vision is! Mom, your granddaughter-in-law is so outstanding!"
She looked at Yu Guangnian again, "Do you have anything to say?"
Yu Guangnian coughed and said, "Aren't there two more items?"
Old Master Yu spoke up, "I knew this kid was right."
Yu Shien and Yang Qiutong nodded. "Being able to stand up for what is right is something that not everyone can do. Regardless of whether she is looking for the sound or not, this child's character is beyond reproach."
Gu Mingxi: "Not afraid of rumors, Nanchen has a good eye!"
Jiang Yan: "There are thousands of zither players, but there is only one sound to be found."
Ji Nanci: "This year's celebrity contest was really wonderful, an auditory feast, and my trip was not in vain."
Shen Wenyuan: "I'm the right couple for this!"
The three judges immediately rushed onto the stage, almost in worship.
"When we heard you playing the piano, we noticed that you had the temperament to search for music. We didn't expect it was really you!" Danielton was a little excited.
George also nodded, "Yes, I didn't expect that we would have the honor to see Xunyin's true face today. We are so lucky."
Zuo Wenyu held Yan Luo's hand and said, "You have achieved so much at such a young age. You are truly a genius!"
She looked at the audience, "The person who just questioned Master Xunyin, don't you know that Master Xunyin is the world's top pianist? She is the best pianist in the world, and she says she is second to none. No one dares to say they are first!"
The man felt a little embarrassed and just wanted to leave when Qiao Sen stopped him, "Tell me, are you a crazy fan of Yan Shasha or is someone instructing you to do this?"
The man said, "I, I'm telling the truth! Even if she was looking for music, so what! If she stops playing the song halfway, she loses!"
Zuo Wenyu looked at Yan Luo, "Master Xunyin, you must have a reason."
Yan Luo nodded and walked to the piano. "When I was playing the piano just now, several needles appeared between the black and white keys, so I couldn't continue."
The host rushed forward to check, but found nothing unusual.
Yan Luo pointed at Yan Keke and said, "My dear half-sister, what are you holding in your hand? Let everyone see it."
