Compared to Yan Ziyuan’s sophisticated speech and attitude, Ning Xuemo’s style of dressing looked terribly average. She wore loose clothing which didn’t emphasize her figure. Her looks were neither ugly nor pretty, but standing next to Yan Ziyuan, she paled into insignificance, which was the reason that almost nobody acknowledged her presence.

Contrary to what one might have expected, Yan Ziyuan would push Ning Xuemo before her and introduce her to the speakers: “This is zither teacher Xue, who comes from the Capital. Ziyuan’s skills in playing the zither have all improved thanks to her advice! She is a good mentor of Ziyuan.”

Many of those present began to observe Ning Xuemo because of Yan Ziyan’s words. Whenever Ning Xuemo smiled back, it would leave them confused.

Among the people sizing her up, one gaze couldn’t be ignored. Ning Xuemo intentionally looked back, staring at the blue-robed Gu Ziyan head on.

There was a complicated look in his eyes. Somewhat penetrating and cold, as if trying to evaluate Ning Xuemo’s social rank. As Ning Xuemo gazed at him straightforwardly, she unexpectedly detected hostility in his eyes.

‘Why do I sense enmity? Where did it come from?’

Ning Xuemo was left puzzled. She already knew that this talented zither teacher Gu wouldn’t compete as he was part of the judging committee.

She couldn’t help but sigh in her heart as she finally understood why Yan Ziyuan would constantly think of this zither teacher. His sex appeal was higher, by a few points, when compared to the other males present . Furthermore, he had a fine temperament, typical of a pure and detached handsome guy. If he sat with the other committee members, they would be overshadowed.

Who knows how many girls’ eyes secretly lingered on him and how many fleetingly and affectionately, caressed his clothes.

All except Ning Xuemo.

It wasn’t that she didn’t appreciate good looking men, however after meeting the ultra handsome Xue Yilan and Han Shangyue, she’d become immune to other’s beauty.

Not clearly understanding why she suddenly thought of Han Shangyue. She mused that, if this person appeared here, he would very likely shock these people!

If that moment ever arrived, who knows if those female eyes would still linger on Gu Ziyan or not?

{tl: she should call him to have a test girl~}

Although Yan Ziyuan was also a competitor, due to her special identity, her seat was placed in a good position, near the judging panel.

It wasn’t known if it had been purposely arranged, but her seat was right next to Rong Yan’s.

Rong Yan’s head was slightly lowered. As soon as she caught sight of Yan Ziyuan, a glint of resentment flashed in her eyes. However, when she lifted her head, the bitterness vanished. She got up and curtsied: “Little Sister Yuan…” however feeling that her words might be inappropriate, she corrected herself: “Rong Yan greets Miss Yan”, her voice sounded like the whistling tune of the oriole.

Yan Ziyuan’s eyes became emotionless as she stared at the girl. “Get away from me!” she exclaimed.

Rong Yan’s fake smile almost stiffened: “You… What did you say?!”

All Zither Meetings held in Daliang City were being financed by the Yan Mansion, therefore those present were quite courteous towards the Yan Mansion’s Eldest Miss and wouldn’t dare to offend her.

Even though Yan Ziyuan was indeed the Eldest Miss, she normally wouldn’t behave like a high and mighty person. Regardless of the competitions, she wouldn’t pressure anyone just because of her status as she relied on her abilities when contending for a reward. Even if she didn’t win a prize, she would never hold a grudge or embarrass people.

As a result, the majority of people were very respectful towards this Eldest Miss.

But who would have thought that, in this instance, she wouldn’t give any face to Rong Yan today, instead driving her away.
