Tsubaki walked up to Kaori Miyazono and said with a smile, "Kaori, it should be about time."

Kaori Miyazono took out her phone and looked at it: "It's almost time for my performance, I have to go!"

After saying that, he grabbed Lu Tianyu and ran towards a building on the side.

"Where are you going?" Watari asked curiously.

"Where?" Xiaochun said, pointing to a building not far away.

The group followed Xiaochun's finger and saw a white building with the words "TOWA HALL" written on it.

“Where is…” Arima Kousei murmured, looking at the place that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

"Tenghe Hall!" Kaori Miyazono turned around and said with a smile, "I'll be playing there later; I'm a violinist!"

"A violinist?" Watari Ryo leaned closer to Kaori Miyazono and exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing!"

"Kousei, let's come together too!" Kotsubaki said with a smile, pulling Kousei Arima along.

After saying that, she pulled him and walked directly over there.

At this moment, Lu Tianyu also spoke up: "Hey, kid, you come too!"

.....

.....

Inside the Tenghe Hall, Kaori Miyazono separated from the others as soon as she arrived and headed towards the contestants' backstage area.

The remaining Lu Tianyu and his group walked towards the audience seats.

Arima Kousei stopped outside the auditorium. His fingers began to tremble uncontrollably, and he seemed to hear various voices in his ears. His mother's face kept appearing in his mind, saying, "This is a place that belongs only to you!"

At that moment, Watari also noticed Arima Kousei had stopped and asked worriedly, "Um... Kousei, what's wrong?"

Beside her, Tsubaki watched Kousei's trembling fingers with concern. But she still hoped that Kousei could come out of his straggling and play the piano again, because... that was the real Arima Kousei.

Instead of the inconspicuous, lifeless man he is now!

Today's events were also planned out by Tsubaki and Kaori Miyazono together...

At this moment, Lu Tianyu pushed Arima Kousei from behind.

"Let's go!"

After saying that, he was the first to push open the door and walk straight in.

Upon entering, a banner hung high on the stage at the very front. It read:

Organized by the Tenghe Music Competition Executive Committee.

The 2nd Tenghe Music Competition

Violin Group (Middle School Group)

Then, Watari and the others came in.

"Sigh—it's much smaller than I imagined," said Wataru Ryo, looking at the competition venue.

"Don't compare this place to a soccer field!" Tsubaki looked at the familiar surroundings and said nostalgically, "I haven't been here since I cheered for Kousei in sixth grade. It's been so long since I've felt this atmosphere."

Lu Tianyu pointed to an empty seat not far away and said, "Alright, let's go sit down first. You can reminisce properly later."

The group sat down and looked at the contestants who were still preparing on the stage in front of them.

Arima Kousei couldn't help but start observing his surroundings; the dry air, the smell of dust...

At this moment, the audience also noticed the group.

"That must be Lu Tianyu!"

"It's Master Tianyu!"

"Why is Master Tianyu here?"

"Look, isn't that Arima-kun next to Master Tenyu?"

"Does Arima refer to the Arima who plays the piano?"

"I've grown up."

"How come he's walking with Master Tianyu? Is he studying under Master Tianyu now? I'm so envious!"

"But why would they come to the violin section?"

"Does Master Tianyu intend to learn the violin as well?"

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Arima Kousei's hands trembled even faster.

Beside him, Wataru Ryosuke chopped Arima Kousei on the head and teased, "Oh, the former famous Arima!"

Arima Kousei turned to look at his best friend, then glared at Tsubaki: "You deliberately hid it beforehand, didn't you! You deliberately didn't say you were coming to hear her play."

“Because…” Xiaochun lowered her head, looking at her toes, and said, “If you had known beforehand, you wouldn’t have come!”

Then, he looked up at Kousei Arima and said, "That's why I tried so hard to keep it from you!"

After hearing what Kotsubaki said, Arima Kousei silently turned his head and looked at the stage.

Looking at the silent Arima Kousei, Tsubaki lowered her head and said, "You still really hate the piano..."

At this moment, the staff of the club walked up to Lu Tianyu and the others.

One of the judges looked at Lu Tianyu excitedly and quickly bowed, saying, "I didn't expect Master Tianyu to come here. May I ask you to come to the front?"

"No need, my friend and I will be fine sitting here," Lu Tianyu replied with a smile, looking at the excited staff.

"That's a real shame," a staff member said with a smile. "We were hoping to invite you to be one of the referees temporarily, but it seems we won't have the chance."

"Referee?" Lu Tianyu turned to look at the staff member. If he remembered correctly, Kaori Miyazono's performance this time was going to run into some problems, so as the referee...

Thinking of this, Lu Tianyu stopped the staff member who was about to leave and said, "Wait a minute. Since that's the case, I'll act as a temporary referee. Please give me your guidance."

"Really?" The staff member who was about to leave looked at Lu Tianyu excitedly.

"Okay." Lu Tianyu nodded, stood up, said something to Xiao Chun and the other two, and then walked straight ahead.

Chapter 199 - Xun's Performance

After saying goodbye to Arima Kousei and the other two, Lu Tianyu followed the staff to the referee's table and took his seat. The five referees next to him wanted to greet Lu Tianyu.

The announcement of the start of the competition came over the loudspeaker: "Next, the first preliminary round of the Tenghe Music Competition, violin group, middle school group, is about to begin."

Upon hearing the announcement that the match had begun, the referees gave Lu Tianyu a slight smile as an apology. They then sat down, ready to watch the match attentively.

At this moment, the first contestant stepped onto the stage. After bowing slightly to the audience, he placed his violin on his shoulder and began to play.

The sound of violins mingling with the sounds of other instruments playing together could be heard.

"Beethoven, Violin Sonata No. 9, Klein!" Lu Tianyu felt the performance on stage. After changing history, he had learned and mastered all the art forms in the world.

Upon hearing the first sonata, I already knew what was being performed today... However, it was a completely rigid performance, but considering it was only a junior high school student's performance, it was still quite good.

However, he would prefer to see his own voice in his performances, rather than having everything copied and lacking originality!

Time passed slowly, and the contestants on stage changed again and again.

One interesting point was that after making a mistake in his performance, the second half of the piece was completely copied from the other contestant's performance.

At that moment, Kaori Miyazono, wearing a pure white dress and walking confidently, stepped onto the stage!

In the audience, Tsubaki and Watari stood up and shouted at the stage, "Kaoru is so pretty! We've been waiting for you for so long!"

On the side, Kousei Arima, seeing the two making a fuss, quickly pulled them apart to quiet them down, because this was a competition venue!

On the judges' stand, Lu Tianyu smiled as he watched Xun walk onto the stage. He raised his hand and waved to her.

Beside him, a referee watched Lu Tianyu's movements and asked curiously, "Master Tianyu, do you know this contestant?" You see, when the previous contestants came on stage, the master sitting next to him did nothing, at most clapping his hands politely.

"Mm." Lu Tianyu nodded, smiling as he looked at Kaori Miyazono on the stage.

On stage, Kaori Miyazono looked down at Lu Tianyu, who was smiling, and at the two noisy people not far away, along with Kousei Arima, who was pulling the two of them along.

"I'm a little nervous!" Kaori Miyazono took a deep breath and looked up. "Could I convey my feelings to everyone through music?"

"EloiEssaiEloiEssai, please heed my plea!"

After finishing her prayer, Kaori Miyazono tossed her long golden hair slightly, placed her violin on her shoulder, and turned to nod to the pianist behind her.

The next second, Kaori Miyazono's performance began.

The first note was a proper and serious performance, but the next second a deep yet soaring sound rang out.

Everyone in the audience looked at her in surprise. This was not the standard competition music at all; she was playing her own music!

As the music continued, Xun's performance, completely different from the previous ones, was so uplifting, so full of youthful energy and a defiant spirit. The same melody, a different performance.

Lu Tianyu watched as Kaori Miyazono performed on stage with a beaming smile...

At this moment, Lu Tianyu heard the voice of a middle-aged referee next to him. He was drawing crosses on the referee's paper in front of him with a pen, and kept muttering: "This is blasphemy. The rhythm and dynamics are all messed up, and the music is played randomly without any piano accompaniment! This is a provocation against the composer!"

Lu Tianyu looked at the middle-aged referee who was spouting nonsense and thought, "Do you even have eyes? Is this what you call a referee?"

It's clearly because the accompanying pianist is a complete novice and can't keep up with Xun's pace!

As for your claim that it's blasphemy against the composer, believe me, I'll drag Beethoven out of history and ask him personally if this is blasphemy. If he dares to utter a single extra word, I...

On stage, Xun finished her performance, a happy smile on her face, to the cheers of the audience.

Beside Lu Tianyu, the young referee was intently looking at the information on Kaori Miyazono in his hand, twirling his pen repeatedly, and exclaiming, "Wow! Amazing, this individuality that doesn't blindly follow the composer! ...However, it's just that Kazama-sensei doesn't like it."

The young referee turned his head and looked over there. He saw the middle-aged referee who had been talking incessantly looking like he was about to rush onto the stage, being held back tightly by the others around him. He was still shouting at the stage, "How dare you make such a fuss during a solemn competition!"

The young referee smiled and turned to look at Kaori Miyazono's file again: "But her characteristics are indeed unique. Why was she unknown before? Don't you think so, Master Tenyu?"

The young referee turned his head and looked at Lu Tianyu, who was waving at the stage.

"You mean Xun?" Lu Tianyu turned his head and smiled, "That was in the past. In the not-too-distant future, she will be one of the most remarkable beings!"

"Hmm?" The young judge looked at Lu Tianyu with a puzzled expression. He admitted that the contestant above was indeed very talented, but her playing style was unpredictable and lacked any real depth. However, if she was to be considered the most eye-catching performer, then at present...

Lu Tianyu looked at the puzzled young referee and smiled slightly: "If you want to know why... it's because she was my first disciple."

After saying that, ignoring the young referee's surprised look, he turned to look at Xun on the stage, who was all smiles and waving to the crowd below!

At this moment, in the audience seats.
