On the other side...
Yan Rui was still in Continent E at the time, and Gong Bingye couldn't get there for a while, so he called him via video.
I have to say that the piano master Yan Rui has an extremely weird personality. If he is happy, everything can be discussed. If he is unhappy, even the king of heaven will not give him face.
When Gong Bingye contacted him, he happened to be in a happy mood. Otherwise, even if Gong Bingye went to invite him in person, he would not answer his call.
When the call was connected, Yan Rui was skiing on the snowy mountain. He took off his glasses and gloves, looked at Gong Bingye in the video, and asked, "Prince, what's the matter with you?"
Even in the video, Yan Rui's eyes do not appear big. His small eyes are focused and bright. Even though he is almost fifty years old now, his eyes are still full of vitality.
"Well... Mr. Yan, I won't beat around the bush. I'm looking for you this time because of the piano competition." Gong Bingye went straight to the point.
Before contacting Yan Rui, he also investigated Yan Rui's personality, fearing that his procrastination would make Yan Rui unhappy.
Yan Rui frowned and said, "Go ahead!"
Gong Bingye faced the camera and said seriously, "My girlfriend also participated in this competition, but she's not very good at playing the piano. I hope Master Yan can give her first place for my sake."
"Make her happy!"
"That might disappoint His Majesty." Yan Rui flatly refused. "To be honest, I'm launching this game to collaborate with an old friend of mine. I can agree to your other requests, but I can't help you with this one."
The call ultimately ended in failure.
Before contacting Yan Rui, he thought that Yan Rui might reject him, but he didn't expect that the reason Yan Rui gave would be so irrefutable.
But, who could this old friend Yan Rui was talking about?!
At this time, Gong Bingye could no longer care about so many things. Since Yan Rui didn't give him this face, he had to go to the scene in person to support the little girl.
This way~
Two minutes before the piano competition begins.
At the invitation of the host, the organizers of the competition arrived one after another, and the audience in the auditorium burst into warm applause.
The contestants who were preparing for the competition backstage became even more nervous when they heard the loud applause.
The organizers took their seats in the front row one by one.
As the host's loud voice of "The annual piano competition is now officially starting" fell, the contestants became extremely nervous.
Xia Xingkong ranked fifth. As the first four contestants came on stage to perform, Xia Xingkong became more and more confident.
You're still participating in a piano competition with this level of skill?
It really drags down the standard of this competition.
Soon, it was Xia Xingkong's turn.
Xia Xingkong walked onto the stage with her head held high. She first bowed politely to the audience, and then introduced herself gently.
While introducing herself, her eyes kept wandering over the organizers.
Because when several organizers heard Xia Xingkong's name, their eyes suddenly lit up and they began to whisper to each other.
Seeing this, Xia Xingkong became more confident. It must be that some organizers heard her song "Sky" on the Internet, so they took a new look at her.
She released "Sky" online in advance, not only for the sake of pre-launch promotion, but also for a more important reason...
That is, she wants everyone to know that she is the original creator of the song "Sky".
Xia Xingkong's outfit this time was already very gorgeous, and coupled with her enchanting figure and charming face, her image was greatly improved, giving the organizers a very good first impression.
She sat gracefully in front of the piano, moving melodies flowing from her fingertips. The audience listened with bated breath, completely immersed in the world of music.
The entire venue was filled with a strong artistic atmosphere, allowing people to truly feel the charm of music.
The song ends quickly!
Everyone was still immersed in the beautiful music when the song ended.
Everyone was still not satisfied.
Soon, the entire venue was filled with thunderous applause.
After listening to this, several organizers nodded repeatedly with smiles on their faces.
One of the judges couldn't help but praise him, "This contestant plays the piano really well. Both the pitch and the rhythm are just right. This contestant must be at level six in piano!"
Xia Xingkong smiled gently, "I'm sorry to show off my ugliness here. My piano level is only Grade 8, so I still need to study harder!"
The piano exam is divided into nine levels: 1-3 are elementary, 4-6 are intermediate, and 7-9 are advanced!
Xia Xingkong's piano level has reached an advanced level.
There was a burst of “Wow!” from the audience, all of them were in disbelief.
Even the organizers in the front row couldn't help but praise him repeatedly: "I can't believe you are so young, but your piano skills are so high. You will definitely be a talented person in the future."
Several other organizers nodded in agreement.
Finally, Xia Xingkong stepped down from the stage amid everyone's praise.
The contestants backstage heard all her performance in front of the stage and the organizers' praise for her. Some contestants were jealous and couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks to Xia Xingkong when they saw her return to the backstage, while others directly ridiculed her.
But Xia Xingkong was in a good mood at the moment, so even if he heard these unpleasant words, they went in one ear and out the other.
Some contestants were very good at reading the wind, and when they saw Xia Xingkong being praised by the organizers, they took the initiative to come forward and strike up a conversation.
Just after the seventh contestant finished playing, Xia Xingchen came over leisurely.
The moment Xia Xingkong saw Xia Xingchen, she couldn't believe her eyes. She rubbed them again and again, but still saw Xia Xingchen, dressed simply, strut in...
What is Xia Xingchen, this lingering ghost, doing here?
Then, she immediately walked up to Xia Xingchen and asked angrily in a low voice: "This is the piano competition, what are you doing here?"
Xia Xingchen patted the non-existent dirt on her body with her hands. Seeing that Xia Xingkong was a little annoyed, she said, "Of course I'm here to compete. I don't think I'm here to watch you play the piano!"
"You..." Xia Xingkong was choked and speechless, "Can you come here whenever you want? At least you have to register in advance and be qualified to compete."
At that moment, Chen Bing, who was standing next to Xia Xingchen, couldn't help but say, "I already signed up for Little Star. What? Are you blind and didn't see it?"
"Come on, Little Star, let's ignore her. She's really unlucky!" Chen Bing said as he pulled Xia Xingchen away.
Xia Xingkong angrily said to Chen Bing's back, "You damn sissy, you're everywhere!"
Turning around, she took a deep breath angrily, and then she saw Li Li standing in front of her.
She just lowered her head and stood there motionless.
"It's really weird. How come all these flies fly in to such a high-end competition..." As she said that, she started to call the security. The security came running over after hearing the sound, and she asked the security to kick Li Li out with confidence.
