When He Wei Ni Ya saw Ka Lun point at her and say those words, she was completely stunned.

The reaction was even stronger than when they first saw Ka Lun's appearance.

Finnis's face quickly darkened, his eyes filled with anger. "What are you saying?!"

"What's wrong, Finnis? Are you deaf?" Ka Lun glanced at Finnis. "No wonder. I heard that the place where your sister died was just a piece of cloth between you and the other side, and you didn't react at all, still dreaming about the rise of the Lawrence Family... Oh? Are you trying to kill me?"

Finnis's staff was already pointed at Ka Lun's nose.

"You can say one more word and see," Finnis said coldly. "Do you think the Chu Ke Family will stand up for you if I kill you now?"

Faced with Finnis's threat, Ka Lun just chuckled, "Indeed, the Chu Ke Family won't protect me, and they'd probably be happy to see you kill me. But is that really a good idea? If you kill me, does the Lawrence Family still want to participate in this Grand Ceremony? Have you forgotten what the school rules are?"

Finnis's eyes narrowed little by little.

"So don't try that trick on me, I won't be intimidated." Ka Lun reached out her greasy hand and brushed Finnis's staff aside, saying leisurely, "And don't get angry easily or say harsh words. If you say harsh words but can't do them, everyone will know just how much you're worth, Finnis."

He Wei Ni Ya saw that, in the face of Ka Lun's mockery, Finnis's hand holding the staff was trembling slightly.

This was the first time she had ever seen Finnis lose his composure like this.

Clearly, Ka Lun knows Finnis very well, and this kind of conversation is very likely not the first time.

"Your composure is even worse than that of Miss Finnis." Ka Lun then turned to He Wei Ni Ya. "I asked you to give her to me, and she hasn't even turned against me yet, but you're already getting anxious."

"Miss He Wei Ni Ya is my guest," Finnis said coldly. "I will naturally protect her."

Although he said that, Finnis had actually already put down his staff.

"Yes, yes, protection," Ka Lun said. "I just want to sleep with her, what's with all this talk about protection? You agree, Miss He Wei Ni Ya, would you like to sleep with me tonight?"

To be honest, this was the first time she had met someone like Ka Lun since she had acquired He Wei Ni Ya's identity.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ka Lun ..." He Wei Ni Ya replied politely, choosing her words carefully, "I didn't mean that."

Despite saying it was out of politeness, He Wei Ni Ya deliberately emphasized the words in her voice to express the anger she was suppressing.

After hearing He Wei Ni Ya's words, Finnis stepped forward again.

"In that case, there's nothing more to discuss," Finnis said coldly. "Ka Lun, don't think we can't live without you. Even if the Lawrence Family doesn't receive Lord's Grace in the end, they will never abandon my guest. Our previous agreement is over. Let's go, Miss He Wei Ni Ya."

With that, Finnis turned to leave.

He Wei Ni Ya also felt that this meeting was quite different from what she had imagined, so she followed Finnis.

However, just before the two left, Ka Lun let out another "coughing" laugh behind them.

"Hehehe, interesting, really interesting. Finnis, I really enjoy watching your pretentious act. Do you think there are no smart people in this world besides you?"

Finnis stopped in his tracks. "What do you mean?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Ka Lun said with a smile. "When I invited Miss He Wei Ni Ya to bed earlier, you didn't step forward. You only spoke up after Miss He Wei Ni Ya rejected me and expressed her displeasure. So you were hoping that Miss He Wei Ni Ya would agree to my request for the sake of the Grand Ceremony, so that it would be considered that she was willing."

"Do you think Miss He Wei Ni Ya would believe you?" Finnis looked coldly at Ka Lun. "You just think everyone in this world is as disgusting as your face."

"Yes, my face is indeed disgusting, but so what?" Ka Lun wasn't angry, she just chuckled. "I have the Golden Sound, I am a member of the Chu Ke Family. Even if my Golden Sound is drawn on my sores, even if the Chu Ke Family doesn't want to acknowledge me, it doesn't change the fact that I am born superior. In a way, we are the same. I have a dirty face, you have a dirty heart... Hehe, don't look at me like that. You know it won't work on me. I've seen that kind of look since I was a child."

With that, Ka Lun downed the entire cup of hot chocolate in front of her in one gulp, then licked her lips and said with a smile.

"Alright, enough joking around, let's get down to business."

"... A joke?"

"Yes, it was just a joke, a little revenge for making me wait here for almost an hour," Ka Lun said calmly. "And you know, Finnis, who do I hate more than you, you hypocrite? Do you really think I'd be interested in the offers you've made? No, no, no, the only reason I've ever joined you has always been this."

He paused.

"That's all. We just won't let the Chu Ke Family receive any blessings."

This sudden turn of events left He Wei Ni Ya somewhat bewildered. She instinctively looked at Finnis, only to find that Finnis was also looking at her.

On the surface, it appears that Finnis is seeking her opinion.

However, the fact that they've already sought her opinion is enough to explain Finnis's thoughts.

So, He Wei Ni Ya tilted her head.

"Then... shall we begin?"

And so, this unique self-introduction came to an end.

What happened next was not discussed in the restaurant. Finnis led the two to an empty classroom, where there were four other musicians, three men and one woman, all of whom were silver-toned.

Clearly, this is Finnis's orchestra, and the other four musicians also possess some of the most outstanding vocal qualities in the silver music scene.

However, upon seeing the three enter, the four Silver Sound Player still bowed to them respectfully and nervously.

The little girl reacted the most, stammering and unable to finish her sentence.

He Wei Ni Ya then took note of her name— Molly.

There are less than two months until the Grand Ceremony.

One month is used for preparation, and another month is used for selection to choose the bands qualified to participate in the Grand Ceremony.

Of course, for an orchestra composed of three Golden Sound, there is no selection process, so they only have two months to prepare.

In the next two months, the band will select the most suitable pieces and then practice and experiment continuously.

The suitability of a piece of music is related to the Golden Sound, because each piece relies on different notes. Melodious and graceful music relies on the earlier notes, while intense and uplifting music naturally needs the later notes to bring it to life.

The notes possessed by Finnis, Ka Lun, and He Wei Ni Ya correspond precisely to three different types of musical movements: low, middle, and high.

Therefore, how to make a choice is the primary issue to consider.

He Wei Ni Ya naturally had no opinion on this, and she remembered that Finnis had already chosen the movement beforehand, a bass melody centered on him.

But when Finnis took out the several musical scores he had prepared for everyone to read, He Wei Ni Ya was surprised to find that they were not the ones he had chosen last time, but rather pieces that were more inclined towards higher notes.

In other words, Finnis voluntarily handed over the core position of the orchestra to He Wei Ni Ya.

He Wei Ni Ya couldn't help but glance at Finnis gave her an encouraging look, as if to say, "I believe in you."

However, this level of psychological warfare was clearly ineffective against He Wei Ni Ya quickly figured out why.

TuPake is dead, and Ka Lun is clearly inferior to TuPake. As a result, the Lawrence Family's chances of obtaining the Grace have been greatly reduced, so it's better to center their power around He Wei Ni Ya than to focus on themselves and proceed cautiously.

Because high notes are always the most difficult to play, but also the most favored by the Lord of Holy Sound, historically, high notes have a significantly higher probability of receiving blessings than low notes.

Therefore, the Lawrence Family decided to hand the ball to He Wei Ni Ya, the only high-pitched singer at this Grand Ceremony.

It seems the Lawrence Family was indeed driven to desperation.

He Wei Ni Ya thought to herself, but naturally she wouldn't say it out loud. Instead, she waved her fist at Finnis and whispered, "I'll try my best!"

Ka Lun simply watched, offering no comment except for the occasional strange laugh, clearly showing he didn't care at all whether the orchestra revolved around him.

But if Golden Sound doesn't care, Yin Yin can't possibly not care.

Because no matter what song you choose, the three Golden Sound will remain the same, but the silver notes are different. Different songs require different silver notes, and the silver notes are not irreplaceable.

This was even more evident on the first day of practice, with the four Silver Sound Player each giving different performances depending on the piece they played.

This naturally put immense pressure on them, so when the rehearsal ended, the three Golden Sound players didn't show much change in expression, while the four Silver Sound Player were drenched in sweat, and the girl named Molly could barely stand.

But they couldn't rest yet, because the final decision hadn't been made. They looked at Finnis with great tension. Finnis held the ten soprano scores they had just practiced in his hand, his brows furrowed as he pondered something.

After a while, he put down seven of the cards, picked up three of them, and said to He Wei Ni Ya, "I think these three are the best. What do you think?"

He Wei Ni Ya smiled and said, "I'll listen to you."

"I see." Finnis for a moment, then made a choice that surprised He Wei Ni Ya.

He smiled and handed the three sheet music to He Wei Ni Ya.

"Then you can choose."

Suddenly, four pairs of eyes fell on He Wei Ni Ya, causing He Wei Ni Ya to be taken aback. "Me?"

"Yes," Finnis said with a smile, "You are the center of our orchestra, so naturally you will be in charge of choosing the scores, and..."

"It's up to you to decide who stays."

After the practice session ended, He Wei Ni Ya walked out of the classroom with three sheets of sheet music.

He Wei Ni Ya was indeed slightly surprised by Finnis's decision to hand over the reins to her, but not entirely unexpected.

Because He Wei Ni Ya realized that this was just another attempt by Finnis to curry favor with her.

Perhaps to dispel what Ka Lun had said earlier, or perhaps for some other reason, He Wei Ni Ya could sense that during today's practice, Finnis had conveyed the message "I value you" to He Wei Ni Ya more than once.

Whether it's selecting sheet music or entrusting her with the fate of Yinyin in the orchestra, it's all for this purpose.

It's as if...

"He's treating you like the lady of the Lawrence Family." Bai Wei's voice suddenly rang out. "I wouldn't be surprised if he knelt down and proposed to you on the day the Grand Ceremony ended."

Bai Wei's sudden statement made He Wei Ni Ya's hand tremble involuntarily.

After all, Bai Wei hadn't uttered a sound all day, and hadn't even made any subtle gestures to hint at anything, as if he had completely disappeared.

"Can you speak now?" He Wei Ni Ya asked in confusion.

"Yes, haven't you already left the teaching building?"

"The teaching building?"

"Yes," Bai Wei said. "The power of the Lord of Holy Sound comes from music and everything related to music. So in the teaching building where everyone is preparing for the Grand Ceremony, the concentration of His power is too high. I don't even dare to breathe loudly in there."

"... Do you still need to breathe?"

"That's definitely not necessary." Bai Wei suddenly sighed. "Sigh, I'll never work with women again."

He Wei Ni Ya was slightly taken aback. "Why?"

She thought she had done something to upset Bai Wei and was about to ask him and apologize.

Before she could even ask a question, she heard Bai Wei say quietly, "Because men keep flirting with you, whether it's that Finnis or that heavyweight named Ka Lun. Damn it, when I'm inside you, I feel like those guys are flirting with me. I even thought I was back in the Rhine."

Bai Wei's words left He Wei Ni Ya stunned.

She never expected Bai Wei's reason to be like this.

After a long pause, she finally asked, "Then next time I'll be more careful to avoid it?"

"Hmm..." Bai Wei nodded He Wei Ni Ya's head as if he was deep in thought, and then said seriously, "I think it's okay. Next time someone looks at you like that, go up and poke their eyes out."

He Wei Ni Ya: "..."

"Just kidding," Bai Wei said with a smile. "Anyway, don't you think it's funny?"

"What?"

Bai Wei tapped the three musical scores with his finger.

"Now, you can decide other people's fates too," he asked with a smile. "So, what will you do?"

Before He Wei Ni Ya could answer, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

It's Molly.
