Chapter 245 Feeling Smug

Su Jin sighed in her heart. Devil Xi was usually so busy that he would not have much time to practice his violin. Even if he knew how to play the instrument, it would probably be at an amateur level. Anyway, she had already agreed to perform together. She just hoped that he would not be too much of a hindrance and try his best to keep up. As long as he didn’t cause trouble, everything would be fine.

Xi Chenxiao did not know what Su Jin was thinking. He followed her onto the stage and picked up the violin that Merlin had prepared. The two of them began to perform, and they chose a classical piece that was highly difficult. When the crowd heard the tune, they were stunned at first, and then they looked at the performers in shock and started commenting,

“These two dared to pick this piece? Are they that confident?”

“That’s right. Even established master violinists would not play this easily. It’s too difficult and will be too embarrassing if they messed up.”

“Besides, these two are obviously amateurs. Are they here to embarrass themselves?”

“Perhaps it’s because Merlin and Randall performed such a difficult piece that these two chose an even more difficult one to beat them. They’re asking for trouble. They’d need to be gods in order to win!”

Everyone began to expect a fiasco. Merlin and Randall also heard the crowd’s comments and the corners of their mouths curled up slightly. It seemed that victory was inevitable. Their former teacher had said that many masters did not dare to try this piece because it was too difficult. Most who have tried had failed. There were very few who succeeded. At the thought of this, Merlin said happily,

“Since it’s impossible, just admit defeat. Why create trouble for oneself? If something goes wrong later, they’ll be embarrassed.”

Randall frowned slightly as he heard his sister. After all, they were from a wealthy family. There were so many people here now, so they had to be careful with their words. He could not let others use this matter to criticize them in the future. After all, reputation was still very important. He reminded Merlin earnestly, “Merlin, please watch your words and actions. There are many people here.”

Merlin was a little displeased when she heard this. But he was her elder brother and the future leader of the Max family. She should give him face. However, Merlin felt that she was not wrong, she only spoke the truth. She felt wronged. She looked at Randall innocently and said coyly,

“Brother, I’m just telling the truth. No one will say anything about us. Moreover, you’re the most outstanding violinist. How can these two be better than you? They know very well that they can’t do it but they still want to show off. In the event that they’re humiliated, they can only say that they have brought it upon themselves. We’ll see in a while how they will be humiliated.”

Randall sighed and looked helplessly at Merlin, who had been pampered all her life. It was his and his father’s fault for spoiling Merlin since young, causing her to be arrogant and despotic. She did not know how to control herself, only wanted to win and could not lose. Randall cautioned Merlin,

“Merlin, it’s not fair for us to win. Don’t be too proud and complacent.”

Just as Merlin was about to speak, she heard thunderous applause and enthusiastic cheers from the crowd. When she heard Su Jin and Xi Chenxiao’s performance ended so perfectly, her face turned extremely pale. Randall was the same, his face was filled with disbelief as he looked at the stage in shock. The two of them had actually did it!

Although the siblings had been talking, they had been watching Su Jin and Xi Chenxiao the entire time. They had thought that the two of them would make a major mistake and then give up the performance, admitting defeat. They had never thought that the two of them would work together so perfectly to complete the piece. This was the most difficult piece in the world, and it was impossible for anyone to complete it.

The crowd looked at the two people onstage excitedly. They swallowed all the humiliating words at the tip of their tongues and didn’t say a word. They were completely shocked by Su Jin’s and Xi Chenxiao’s performance. Some even felt ashamed of their humiliating comments earlier. They actually questioned God, they simply deserved to die.

“A miracle. This is definitely a miracle.”

“That’s right. There were two gods performing onstage. How would this be possible otherwise?”

“It’s already difficult enough for one person. Now, these two played together so seamlessly. How could they have completed this piece so perfectly if they weren’t gods?”
