"That’s right. He used to play the piano with such skill, but this time it was even more transcendent. I was completely captivated by the atmosphere he created."

"Yes, he performed exceptionally well. Just now, I noticed the audience here; ninety percent were drawn in by him."

"The highest realm of music is to be able to affect people’s emotions, to draw the soul into the music, and he has achieved that..."

Among the audience standing behind the judges, many were Chinese, all of them Xia Weibao’s fans.

Hearing such high praise from the judges, they were all very worried.

David played so well, what should they do?

They had never seen Xia Weibao play the guqin before and didn’t know what her level was.

Could she handle it?

The kind of shock David just delivered is hard to achieve with the guqin.

Song Shuiling stood among the crowd, looking at Xia Weibao dazzling on stage, and let out a cold smile.

Xia Weibao, without your zither, let’s see how you compete!

David looked in Xia Weibao’s direction, revealing a provocative gaze.

He performed exceptionally well today, and was eager to see how Xia Weibao would be utterly defeated!

He didn’t know what trick Song Shuiling had used to settle things.

At first, he thought Song Shuiling had drugged Xia Weibao so she couldn’t attend. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Yet she not only attended but was also strikingly radiant.

If they didn’t prevent Xia Weibao from going on stage, then where did they make their move?

David’s gaze fell on the white cloth in front of Xia Weibao.

Could it be that the Fuxi Zither was swapped?

This possibility seemed to be the only one.

As long as there was no Fuxi Zither with its divine aura, he had nothing to fear!

Xia Weibao remained unhurried, sitting composedly, like an orchid in an empty valley, serene and noble.

Amid everyone’s differing thoughts, the staff went on stage and lifted the white cloth covering the guqin, revealing it.

"I heard Xia Weibao is using the Fuxi Zither, an Ancient Famous Zither. I must see it clearly."

"Yes, it’s the first time knowing that the Fuxi Zither actually exists in the world. Could it really have divine power? Could it truly control people’s emotions? So nervous, so excited..."

"Eh, what’s going on!"

Wow——

The crowd was having a heated discussion, all eagerly watching the Fuxi Zither on stage.

However, when the true appearance of that guqin was revealed, everyone was stunned, then there was an uproar.

"How could this happen!"

"Where is the Fuxi Zither, has it been destroyed?"

"This one shouldn’t be the Fuxi Zither, just an ordinary zither..."

The air was filled with shocked whispers, but Xia Weibao couldn’t care about them.

She looked at the guqin placed in front of her.

A very ordinary zither.

All the strings on it were broken!

Her eyes slowly narrowed, who swapped her zither and also broke the strings, clearly intending to stop her from competing!

She raised her head and looked in David’s direction.

She saw David first stunned, then slowly smiling.

The comfort and satisfaction in that smile made Xia Weibao realize that this matter was related to David.

Truly sinister!

Unable to accept defeat, they resort to such disgusting methods.

David confidently met her gaze, his eyes full of provocation and disdain.

He was eager to see how she would compete with a zither without strings!

Pei Hong was already completely dumbfounded, how could this happen!

He was the one who had the zither brought on stage, how could it have been swapped!

Pei Hong’s expression changed, where could he find a good zither now!

And even if he found one, putting a broken zither up there would already leave a bad impression on the judges.
