"Ding! The host listens to someone playing the piano, piano playing ability +1, current progress: 1/10, current level: elementary."
"Ding! Piano playing ability +1..."
"..."
Ye Xuan was eating while listening to the music played by Lu An. He also thought the music played by Lu An was quite pleasant, but it was just pleasant.
After listening for a while, Ye Xuan focused on the food. After all, his stomach was not full and he had no intention of playing the piano for a while.
"Humph, this guy is really arrogant. He really takes himself seriously. Let's see how he ends up soon."
"Don't worry, there's no way this kid could be Lu An's opponent. He's just pretending to be relaxed. He's already panicking inside."
"That's right, let's see how he will be humiliated soon."
Time passed little by little, and when Lu An played the last note, the whole song ended.
"Pa bang bang..."
The scene immediately burst into rounds of applause, and these people applauded without hesitation.
"It sounds so good. I'm so lucky to be able to hear Lu An playing the piano here tonight."
"Yeah, it's not easy to hear Lu An play the piano. The last time he held a piano concert, the tickets were sold out instantly. You can imagine how famous he is."
"It seems we have to thank that guy. If he hadn't been ignorant, we might not have had the chance to hear Lu An's piano playing."
…
Most of the people at the scene praised Lu An. They were completely fascinated by the piano music played by Lu An.
Lu An slowly stood up, nodded to everyone, and then walked off the platform.
"Master Lu An, you are so awesome. You see so many people here are conquered by the music you played." The man in the tuxedo smiled flatteringly.
"Yes, Master Lu An, your status in everyone's minds is very high. You are an absolute piano genius, but that guy is a nobody. He is not worthy at all."
"That's necessary. This guy is completely different from Master Lu An. He is nothing but dust."
Lu An didn't say anything. He walked towards where Ye Xuan was, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes. He had never regarded Ye Xuan as an opponent, he was just a joke.
"What do you think of the piano music I just played?" Lu An said looking at Ye Xuan.
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Ye Xuan took a bite of meat and then asked.
"Of course it's the truth."
"Okay, this is what you asked for. If you get angry later, you can't blame me." Ye Xuan said.
"But it doesn't matter."
"The piano music you played is quite nice, which can be seen from the reaction of the audience." Ye Xuan said.
"Tch, boy, if you think you are sensible, if you say that the piano music played by our young master Lu An is not good, then you will really be sprayed to death." The man in the tuxedo sneered.
"But it just sounds nice." Ye Xuan said.
Lu An frowned slightly, and his eyes flashed with solemnity.
"Boy, what do you mean?" the man in the tuxedo snorted coldly, "Our young master Lu An is a well-known person in the piano world. He will definitely be a top master in the piano field in the future."
"That's right, kid, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, it will save us from spraying you later."
"Don't say anything, let him finish." Lu An said in a deep voice.
"You said that you have been learning to play the piano since you were a child. You have been taught by many piano masters and have won many piano competition awards. These are all correct. I can see it from your playing."
"But you have a fatal weakness. If you cannot overcome this fatal weakness, then you will never be able to become a top piano master. At best, you can only be said to be a powerful piano player." Ye Xuan
Look at what Lu An said.
Lu An frowned even more when he heard this.
There is a big difference between a top piano master and a powerful piano player. The former has a more advanced level, just like an art master and an artistic performer. What Lu An wants is a piano master.
"Do I have a fatal weakness?" Lu An frowned and said, "How could I have a fatal weakness? There is nothing wrong with my playing."
"No, no, no, I'm not saying that you made mistakes when playing, or that the music you played didn't sound good. I meant that you played step by step like a robot."
"Your playing lacks soul, which makes me unable to feel the vitality of the music. You can play a piece of music very well, but complete the task mechanically."
"Your playing has no soul, your music lacks vitality, it cannot resonate with people, and it cannot make people relate to it. To outsiders or those who are just getting started, you are very powerful."
"But in the eyes of a true piano master, your performance can only be said to sound good, but it is far from the level of a master."
"Wow——"
Ye Xuan's words directly caused many people present to burst into an uproar.
"Damn it, what do you know? You dare to say that the piano music played by Master Lu An is not good. What a big joke."
"Are all the awards Master Lu An has received over the years fake?" the man in the tuxedo immediately criticized.
"This guy is really arrogant. He doesn't understand anything. He actually criticized a young piano genius. It's really ridiculous."
"Ignorant guy, you made me laugh so hard!"
People at the scene laughed at him. They thought Ye Xuan was just trying to please others and was just a clown. It was really ridiculous to say that Lu An's piano playing was just good-sounding and not at the level of a master.
Lu An's expression became more solemn. He naturally disagreed with Ye Xuan's words and was naturally unconvinced.
"According to what you said, if I can't overcome this fatal weakness, then my piano career will stop at this level?" Lu An sneered.
"Yes." Ye Xuan said truthfully.
"Huh, what a shameless statement." Lu An became a little angry.
Lu An has always received all kinds of praises. He has always had a smooth journey, which has also created his arrogant mentality, thinking that pianists of the same age and even older than him are not as good as him.
So now that he heard Ye Xuan's comments, he was naturally unhappy and unconvinced.
When Ye Xuan saw Lu An's reaction, he shrugged and said, "I reminded you just now. You insist on me telling the truth, and you are so angry about telling the truth. Why bother?"
"Humph, stop talking nonsense. It's your turn next. I want to see how the piano music you play has soul and vitality, making us associate and resonate." Lu An snorted coldly.
Said one voice.
"Okay." Ye Xuan chuckled and walked towards the high platform. (To be continued)
