Lord Xinghe... Pick Me!

After the first song of Vast Heaven's Good Voice ends, normally the host will come up and offer a few words of praise, and then announce the next song.

But the host had been talking non-stop for ages...

But there was no mention of the next song.

The crowd below is absolutely furious right now!

"I heard all the contestants have withdrawn... Will Vast Heaven's Good Voice run out of contestants altogether...?"

"What a Chu Xinghe... What happened to his unrestrained imagination? Is this all?"

"Is it going to end without a second song?"

"Haha... Chu Xinghe messed up this time!"

Not only were the audience furious, but the host's back was soaked with sweat...

His task was to stall for time, but how much time exactly...?

At this point, the host suggested that I continue reading out the Yongxing Pastries for them...

Just when the host was about to cry, they finally received the news.

After announcing the next song, the host left without even revealing the program's name.

It's not that he didn't want to apply, it's just that... he didn't have a name...

Amidst the laughter of countless people, a girl holding a pipa was seen being helped onto the stage from below the stage.

"What a big star... he still needs to be sent on stage! Doesn't he have legs of his own?"

"Exactly, Yang Yunshan always goes on stage by herself before, it's quite a grand spectacle that she had to be helped up like this..."

"Don't talk nonsense... Look at that girl's eyes..."

"She seems to be blind?"

Young people, please watch your words!

"This girl seems to be blind..."

"No wonder he needed help... I was wrong to talk nonsense earlier..."

With the help of another girl, Qu Wan'er arrived at the center of the stage. Then, holding her pipa, she first bowed to the surroundings, and finally slowly sat down on the stool prepared for her.

As Qu Wan'er stepped onto the stage, the previously heated argument quieted down.

There's no way around it, even if some big star appeared today, they would probably be scolded on the spot... But this girl is blind, and most people would feel some pity when they see a blind person.

If the girl is also exceptionally pretty and delicate, then this pity will reach its peak.

As Qu Wan'er sat down, a silver light slowly shone on her. There were no backup dancers, and no noise. At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world consisted only of Qu Wan'er.

"Today, Qu Wan'er will perform a piece for everyone. This piece was written by Wan'er herself, but it is not yet finished and is an incomplete piece. Please forgive her for it. This piece is originally meant to be a guqin piece, but today Wan'er will play it on a pipa. Please point out any shortcomings."

As Qu Wan'er finished speaking, her slender, jade-like fingers began to pluck the strings of the pipa...

As the pipa music began... the sound of the pipa entered everyone's ears.

Although Chu Xinghe nothing about music, he was completely stunned when he heard the pipa music...

Miss Qu Wan'er... you call this knowing a little bit?

I may not understand music theory, but at least I have ears. Your piece is clearly much better than that other guy from the Southwest who played it earlier, okay?

Not to mention Chu Xinghe... even Lu Chengqing was stunned at this moment.

Qu Wan'er's guqin playing was arguably one of the strongest among all the guqin players Lu Chengqing had ever seen...

It was because of Qu Wan'er's guqin that she, a blind person, was left in Haotian Tower.

Unfortunately, Qu Wan'er blind and had a very introverted personality. He had tried to persuade her countless times to go on stage, but Qu Wan'er refused each time.

Lu Chengqing hadn't expected that Senior Brother Xinghe would Qu Wan'er to go on stage today... and more importantly, Senior Brother Xinghe was even willing to help Qu Wan'er heal her eyes. Perhaps this was the key reason why Qu Wan'er mustered up the courage to go on stage.

To Lu Chengqing's disbelief, Qu Wan'er's pipa skills were not only no worse than her guqin skills, but were even stronger!

Just look at the bulging eyes of that great pipa player from Southwest China, and you'll know just how formidable Qu Wan'er's pipa skills are!

"Wan'er initially learned the pipa... Later, after she lost her sight, she put down her beloved pipa and chose the guqin. To this day, she hasn't touched the pipa for ten years... But why do I feel like her pipa playing has become even stronger!"

The speaker was one of Qu Wan'er's fellow villagers, and someone who knew Qu Wan'er well...

Meanwhile, the pipa music played by Qu Wan'er on stage drew countless people into her story, as if they were being transported by the Qu Wan'er...

Just as everyone was captivated by the powerful sound of the pipa, Qu Wan'er suddenly stopped playing.

Under the silver light, Qu Wan'er stood alone, holding her pipa, as if deep in thought, or perhaps lost in thought... Suddenly, as if she had made up her mind... her fingers began to pluck the strings again.

This time, when the pipa music started, everyone felt a chill run down their spines...

Qu Wan'er's pipa skills seemed to be elevated in that instant, and it wasn't just her Qu Wan'er skills that were elevated... but also her music.

"She's creating on the spot! She's creating right here!"

"My God... who exactly is this Qu Wan'er? I've never heard of her before!"

"Incredible! The impromptu composition was flawless and surpassed the previous pieces; the entire piece has now been elevated!"

Everyone was amazed by the piece of music that Qu Wan'er composed on the spot.

As the music ended... all the audience members seemed still immersed in the pipa melody they had just heard...

Everyone gazed at the blind girl bathed in silver light. Qu Wan'er slowly rose and began to speak, "This piece was composed after I lost my sight. In the past, it was called Hope... I hoped it could bring warmth to everyone; it was my only light... And today... it has a new name... It's called Future!"

"I spent ten years trying to perfect it, and I thought it was because my musical ability wasn't good enough. But today I understand... It's not that my musical ability is lacking, it's that I'm living in the past. How can I embrace hope... Only by taking a completely new step and finding hope can we have Future!"

After speaking, Qu Wan'er bowed to the audience, and then, amidst applause, she bowed again in the direction of Chu Xinghe from her memory!

At that moment, the entire backstage area was deathly silent.

This melody of the Future sent chills down everyone's spines, but what sent even more chills down everyone's spines was Senior Brother Xinghe!

Senior Brother Xinghe is truly a divine being!

That's truly a flawless plan!

When Lu Chengqing first saw Senior Brother Xinghe ask Qu Wan'er to go on stage, his first reaction was, "Senior Brother Xinghe, is this going too far?"

But now Lu Chengqing realizes that Senior Brother Xinghe is far more capable than he imagined...

Previously, I, Lu Chengqing, noticed on Qu Wan'er's hands that she seemed to have played the pipa, since the marks on the hands would be different depending on the instrument played.

But after listening to Qu Wan'er play the guqin, Lu Chengqing felt that Qu Wan'er must be the most skilled at the guqin, after all, her level was too high.

But now Lu Chengqing understands... Senior Brother Xinghe must have seen at a glance that Qu Wan'er's greatest skill was the pipa!

And why was Qu Wan'er unable to complete this piece in the Future?... Perhaps in Qu Wan'er's heart, this piece could only be played to its highest level using the pipa she played before she went blind. So no matter how skillful she was with the guqin, it was still lacking something...

But the promise Senior Brother Xinghe made today is not only to help Qu Wan'er heal her eyes, but also to help Qu Wan'er heal the wounds in her heart.

Today, Qu Wan'er's pipa playing has reached a new level... She has transcended it... This piece Future surely become a famous song and spread Jiangnan!

And Qu Wan'er will surely become famous overnight; her name will be known throughout the world!

Lu Chengqing was truly shocked. He had thought that Senior Brother Xinghe had forgotten... but now he realized that Senior Brother Xinghe hadn't forgotten; rather, he didn't need to prepare in advance at all. Senior Brother Xinghe could create miracles at any time!

Chu Xinghe didn't know what creating a miracle meant... Chu Xinghe only knew that... Qu Wan'er, you call this a little bit of knowledge?

Is your "slight understanding" at the level of Elder He or Great Sage?

Isn't this a bit too superficial?

And weren't you supposed to be good at the guqin? What happened to being the most proficient guqin player? Now you're composing a pipa piece on the spot without warning, instantly becoming famous. What are you trying to do?

"Qu Wan'er thanks Lord Xinghe for lighting the lamp in my heart. From now on, I am no longer lost. This Qu Wan'er, 'The Future,' belongs not only to Wan'er but also to Lord Xinghe. For the rest of my life, unless Lord Xinghe is present, Wan'er will never play 'The Future' for anyone else!"

Chu Xinghe: "..."

This is flogging a corpse... This is flogging a corpse... From now on, in the music world... whenever they mention this piece, they'll also flogging my corpse, Chu Xinghe!

Even though he was whipped on the corpse, Chu Xinghe was still happy for Qu Wan'er in front of him.

Although I didn't understand the girl's music, she didn't give up because of her disability, and that alone is admirable.

So Chu Xinghe took out a Clear Sight Pill from his Qiankun Ring...

"This pill is the Clear Sight Pill recorded in the Voodoo Arts. It can restore your sight. Don't think too much, take this pill, get some sleep, and when you wake up tomorrow, go and see the world for yourself..."

"Wan'er thanks Lord Xinghe..." Qu Wan'er's eyes glistened with tears as she held the Clear Sight Pill. She knew that from this moment on, her fate had been completely changed.

Qu Wan'er had heard countless times that Chu Xinghe could decide someone's life or death with a single word, and could defy fate with a single phrase.

Qu Wan'er simply smiled. There's no such person in the world...

But today... Qu Wan'er knows that there really is such a person in this world, he is Lord Xinghe... Although I have never even seen what Lord Xinghe looks like, he is already a god in my heart!

Qu Wan'er never dreamed that she would one day stand on stage, that she would regain her sight, that she would break free from her inner demons and pick up the pipa again to create a Future...

And all of this is because of Lord Xinghe...

Qu Wan'er was sent by Lu Chengqing to have her eyes treated...

But now the situation on the scene was somewhat off... When Lu Chengqing brought these people here earlier and asked them to go on stage temporarily, they were all very hesitant and evasive. After all, in this kind of emergency rescue, if not handled well, it could easily ruin their own lives...

But now... everyone's eyes are fixed on Chu Xinghe!

Um... Lord Xinghe... Click me... Click me!
