Chapter 692 - Defeat!

“Student, I suspect that you are deliberately pitting youself against Student Zi.”

Finally, a student from the Chemistry Department could not take it lying down any further.

“Every time Student Zi says something, you will retaliate against her with harsh words. How do you even know if she can play the piano or not?”

“Isn’t that the case?” Ge Danni revealed a disdainful expression. “Someone who is skilled in the piano would not raise so many requests. Ye Li’er would be able to play the piece right away.”

“Student, there’s a very huge problem with your logic. When has Student Zi raised any requests? She only said that she wants to listen to some music to find inspiration. What does that mean? It means that Student Zi plans to create a piece of her own. If this situation happened during a competition, it doesn’t seem to be too much to ask?”

“Who would listen to other people’s performances to find inspiration?”

“Is it a problem to play some songs in the backstage before a competition?”

“How…”

“Student, you can leave if you don’t feel like watching. Student Zi is a VIP invited by our A.Uni and your actions are simply trying to discredit us. People who are unaware of the situation might even think that all of us are so rude.”

“That’s right. What school are you from? We want to report you.”

Not many people from A.Uni knew Ge Danni and it just so happens that no one among the group knew who she was. Ge Danni became a target of criticism and she could not rebut their words.

Zi Yi looked at Ge Danni who had been attacked from all sides and she shifted her attention to Ye Li’er’s face for two seconds. In the end, she took out her phone and played the performance of a pianist. After she finished looking at the video, she sat in front of the piano and casually pressed a few keys.

Immediately afterward, everyone stopped talking.

Zi Yi said, “I’ll be playing a piece that I have created myself.”

Subsequently, her fingers pressed the first key.

As soon as a powerful and strong-sounding melody came out, everyone felt refreshed and their bodies were filled with strength. It was similar to that of a calm lake and with every press of the piano keys, there would be a ripple that shook everyone’s heart.

This was Zi Yi’s first time using mental energy to play the piano. Ever since arriving on the ancient Earth, she had not used her mental energy frequently. However, using it along with the piano seemed to be a good idea.

When she finished playing the piece, she looked up at the spectators, only to realize that everyone was in a state of shock and had yet to recover their senses.

Zi Yi’s lips curved up. She stood up and snapped her fingers.

It was as if someone had pressed the start button. Everyone came back to their senses and suddenly turned to look at Zi Yi.

Their gazes were all filled with light.

“Student Zi, to think that you are capable of playing such a great piece!”

“It’s wonderful! It’s simply too shocking!”

“This is the first time that I’ve heard such a shocking performance.”

“Student Zi’s performance is comparable to those master pianists recorded in the history annals.”

…

After listening to everyone’s praise, Zi Yi turned to look at Ye Li’er and Ge Danni who had ashen expressions on their faces. She said in an indifferent tone, “Ye Li’er, it’s your turn.”

As soon as Zi Yi said that, she walked away from the piano.

Ye Li’er felt that her feet weighed thousands of kilograms and she could not lift them up to move forward at all.

Right now, her mind was repeating the words ‘impossible’.

When the students standing near Ye Li’er saw that she still remained unmoved sometime later, they reminded her. “Miss Ye Li’er, it’s your turn.”

Ye Li’er’s body trembled. She clutched her clothes and thought of how she was a grandmaster pianist and how could she not lose against Zi Yi.

After she cheered for herself, Ye Li’er headed toward the piano.

Zi Yi stood there and looked at Ye Li’er who sat down and took a deep breath.

Ge Danni who was standing near her stared at Ye Li’er. She continuously prayed that Ye Li’er could play a piece that surpassed Zi Yi’s.

Two minutes later, Ye Li’er reached out for the music scores.

Zi Yi crossed her arms and said cooly, “Didn’t Ge Danni say that you can play the pieces just by sitting there and without referring to the music scores? As a grandmaster pianist, to think that you would even reach out for those simple pieces.”

A few students agreed with her.

“That’s right. You are a skilled pianist in our country and moments ago, Zi Yi had self-composed a piece. We believe that you are capable of composing a piece too.”

“Why don’t you try to look for inspiration just like what Zi Yi had done?”

Ye Li’er’s hand that was about to reach for a music score seemed to have been stung by something, as it suddenly retracted.

“You people are so annoying. Perhaps Ye Li’er might have already had inspiration but you guys are so noisy. What if her inspiration flew away due to the noise?”

Everyone looked at Ge Danni who acted as if she was in the right.

One of the students mocked her. “Student, you seem to have been making all sorts of remarks earlier before Student Zi started her performance. Right now, we had merely made a remark or two, is that already excessive to you?”

“You…”

“Ge Danni, if you are so worried about Ye Li’er, you can perform in her stead.”

The moment Zi Yi said that, Ge Danni was so angry that she almost stomped her foot. “I’m not a music student and aren’t you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?”

“I thought that you were the same as me. It seems like I had thought of you too highly.”

“You-”

Zi Yi shifted her gaze back to Ye Li’er and asked, “Ye Li’er, if you are unable to perform, just admit that it’s your defeat. Don’t waste everyone’s time.”

Ye Li’er’s clenched fist was trembling. She had never suffered such a great humiliation before in her life.

However, her mind was in a mess right now and she could not recall even the simplest piece.

At the thought of her status as the Prince’s daughter and yet, how she was humiliated as such, tears started to stream down her cheeks.

Based on the scene of how sad she was, if not for the fact that there were many spectators present, those who did not know of the situation would even start thinking that Zi Yi was bullying her.

Zi Yi scoffed and turned around as she headed to the door.

“Zi Yi, stop right there!” When she saw that Zi Yi was about to leave, she was angry and anxious at the same time. “Do you know who I am? Do you believe that I won’t get people to arrest you right away?”

Zi Yi did not even turn around and she laughed. Her laugh was cynical. “Even the Prince would not dare to arrest me. Ye Li’er, who gave you the courage to say such words?”

“You-”

“I have recorded what you just said. Say, what will happen if I send this to the Prince?”

“You dare?!”

“We’ll see if I dare to do so or not.”

Zi Yi left after she said her piece.

When the other students saw Zi Yi leaving, all of them had also followed along.

Leaving behind Ye Li’er who was sitting on the chair and Ge Danni who had a pale complexion.

“Ye Li’er, what should we do now?”

Ge Danni was finally afraid.

…

By the time Zi Yi and the group of students and professors came out of the music room, it was already lunch time.

The Chemistry Department students scrambled to invite Zi Yi over to their school canteen for lunch.

Their adoration and admiration for her were beyond words.

After lunch, a group of enthusiastic students took Zi Yi around several famous spots in their universities.

Zi Yi had even joined them for a lecture. During the lecture, the professor specially called for Zi Yi to interact with him.

Aside from the two women looking for trouble, the trip to A.Uni was considered perfect.

The day passed by very quickly. At around 4 p.m., Zi Yi was ready to go back.

Before she left, she made a trip to the washroom.

However, as soon as she washed her hands, she heard Shadow’s reminder. “Master, there is danger approaching.”

The moment Shadow said that clicking sounds could be heard from the vent on the ceiling.

Zi Yi looked at the vent through the reflection in the mirror. She laughed when she saw what approached her, but her eyes turned cold. “It’s finally here.”

What approached her was a bunch of mechanical spiders about the size of an adult man’s fist. Zi Yi took out a circular ball from her pocket and quickly threw it in their direction.
