The fans praised her, but unfortunately, Meng Xueâs dance didnât attract much of an audience.
The villagers continued with their work, sparing only occasional glances.
Meng Xue felt a tinge of embarrassment but maintained her composure, âIâve finished my performance.â
âI havenât discussed it with Teacher Shen yet,â Yuan Heping said. âYou young folks go ahead.â
Xu Jiannian turned with a warm and smiling voice, âMs. Si, ladies first. If you need any help, Iâll be glad to assist.â
âNo need, I donât require any help.â
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Si Fuqing pulled out the instrument she had chosen earlier â a suona.
She skillfully placed the suona to her lips and began to play.
An exuberant and lively melody filled the air, overwhelming all other sounds and nearly piercing the heavens.
Listening closely, the song seemed to incorporate the chirping of various birds like partridges, swallows, orioles, and larks, miraculously coming together.
It was the renowned suona piece, âThe Birds Seeking the Phoenix.â
Everyone was astounded.
The directorâs thermos once again hit the ground, his eyes seemed to be filled with hopelessness.
[???]
[Suona? What else can I say but impressive?]
[Just when I thought I was getting used to Si Fuqing, she completely shatters my mental fortitude.]
[The funeral instrument suona, this is indeed you, classic Si Fuqing.]
[Thatâs not the point! She played âThe Birds Seeking the Phoenixâ! This piece requires advanced suona techniques like glissando, finger trills, vibrato, bounce, and consecutive notes. All highly challenging! And she⦠she just played it effortlessly!]
The penetrating power of the suona indeed surpassed other instruments, echoing through the hills with this spirited song.
Villagers from all around emerged, looking towards the source of the sound in wonder.
Even the Supreme Elder atop the mountain heard it, he was slightly confused, âWhoâs playing the suona?â
In front of him, Yu Xihe extended his hand, placing a black piece on the board, âA young girl.â
The Supreme Elder was even more perplexed, barely managing to say, âThis young lady, quite the lung capacity.â
âIt is indeed impressive,â Yu Xihe said with a slight smile, âand quite cunning.â
She knew how to use her strengths to soften othersâ hearts.
The Supreme Elder, puzzled by this comment, tentatively asked, âMr. Yu, shall we go and see?â
Yu Xiheng placed the last black piece, decisively defeating the white pieces, then stood up: âLetâs go.â
Attracted not only by humans, the suonaâs âThe Birds Seeking the Phoenixâ truly drew the birds of the woods.
The Miracle Doctor Alliance, usually quiet except for weddings and funerals, hadnât heard the sound of a suona in a long time.
Soon, a large crowd tightly surrounded Si Fuqing and Ning Luoyao, clapping and cheering.
âAmazing!â
âPlay another! Young lady, itâs so festive.â
âThis suona playing is much better than the troupe we had last time in our⦠village.â
âNever thought these celebrities could play suona. Sheâs down-to-earth, and the girl is pretty too. Iâll have my son look up her name.â
Without counting, Qi Shuning knew Si Fuqing had won again.
She pursed her lips, âThe instrument of choice of someone in the same group as you is quiteâ¦â
Not saying the word âvulgar,â she left it at that.
