Chapter 182 Practicing Until Morning

Shortly after Elder Shan left the place, Fei Yuyan suddenly said, "Disciple Yuan, you can rest for the day. I am going to practice a little longer."

"Eh?" Yuan looked at her with raised eyebrows, and he said, "You have already practiced for 10 hours today. It’s better to get some rest."

"I know, but I don’t think I can calm down so quickly after learning about Senior Song. She has countless admirers whether it’d be for her beauty or her musical abilities. I’ve admired her ever since I can remember," Fei Yuyan said.

And she continued, "Now that I know about her appearance at the competition, I must not embarrass myself at all cost! Therefore, I am going to practice more and try my best to impress her!"

Yuan nodded and said to her, "Don’t overdo it, Disciple Fei. It’ll be problematic if you tire yourself out right before the competition. It’s happened to me multiple times so I know how it feels."

Fei Yuyan smiled and said, "Are you worried about me? Don’t forget that I am a Cultivator— a Spirit Warrior. I can practice for an entire week without rest and will still feel perfectly fine."

Sometime later, Yuan and the others left the backyard whilst Fei Yuyan remained to practice her zither.

"Brother, guess what’s being talked about in my school!" Yu Rou asked Yuan after she returned home.

"What?"

"The zither competition! You know my school is a prestigious school for musicians— there’s no way they wouldn’t talk about something as massive as the zither competition!" Yu Rou said.

"In fact, I even know a couple of students in my school who intend on participating in the zither competition!"

"Eh? There are people in your school that also know how to play the zither?" Yuan asked with his interest piqued.

"Yes, a lot of people in my school play Cultivation Online, and they learned to play the zither there. Of course, they are still not very good at it, but they still wanted to participate. As for the others, there’ll only be at the competition as a spectator."

Yu Rou then continued, "Therefore, try not to reveal yourself, okay? Most people nowadays may not remember you, but there’s a lot of students in my school that still remember your talents, brother, especially since I am there."

"Don’t worry, I will be wearing a mask for the competition just in case," Yuan said.

"Good." Yu Rou nodded.

"By the way, I would like to stay in the game tonight and practice the zither some more." Yuan suddenly said.

"Don’t overwork yourself, brother. You should know by now that rest is as important as the practice itself."

"I know, Yu Rou. There’s no reason for me to overwork myself, anyway."

"Okay..."

A few minutes later, Yuan returned inside the game, and he went to the backyard to see whether Fei Yuyan was still practicing or not.

And as he’d expected, Fei Yuyan, while being basked in gentle moonlight, was practicing the zither.

"What’s the matter, Disciple Yuan?" Fei Yuyan stopped playing to look at him. "Couldn’t sleep?"

"No, I’ve just decided to practice some more with you," Yuan said to her.

"Are you sure? You can go ahead and sleep if you want to. I am doing this on my own accord so you don’t need to feel guilty about leaving me alone." Fei Yuyan said with a smile on her face.

"I am also here on my own accord so you don’t have to worry. The competition is only a couple of days away, and I don’t want to disappoint you so I’ll try my best until then."

"Disappoint me...?" Fei Yuyan looked at Yuan with a slightly dazed look on her face.

Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Since you came to me and asked me to become your partner, I feel an obligation to meet your expectations."

Fei Yuyan blushed for some reason after hearing Yuan’s words, and she nodded, "Since you insist on practicing with me, there’s no reason for me to refuse."

A few moments later, Yuan sat beside her and placed his hands on the zither.

"Then let’s practice all night!" Fei Yuyan said, and they began playing the zither together.

"Hmm? This sounds like Disciple Yuan’s zither..." Min Li, who had her windows open, could suddenly hear another person playing the zither besides Fei Yuyan.

The thought of closing the windows to sleep in silence was thrown out of Min Li’s mind, and she decided to sleep with the zither music in the background.

As for Xuan Wuhan, she was completely oblivious to the situation outside since she didn’t have her windows opened, which activates the sound-proofing formation and prevents all sound from entering her room.

Thus, she spent the entire night in her own room whilst Yuan and Fei Yuyan played the zither together until it was morning.

"Wow... It’s already morning? It didn’t feel like that much time had passed!" Fei Yuyan exclaimed when she saw the sun rising on the horizon.

"Time passes much quicker when we’re absorbed, especially when it comes to music. And congratulations, Disciple Fei, you can now perfectly synchronize your music with mine." Yuan said to her with a satisfied smile on his face, feeling incredibly refreshed despite spending all night practicing.

"Did you already forget? You can call me Fei Yuyan when we’re alone," she said, also with a smile on her face.

Sometime later, Fei Yuyan went back into the house to clean herself.

Once they were both clean and refreshed, Fei Yuyan asked Yuan, "What do you want to do today? Do you want to continue practicing after a short break?"

Yuan asked, "The competition is only 2 days away, right?"

"The competition doesn’t actually start until the third day, but we will take the whole day before the competition to rest and prepare ourselves, so today will be our last day practicing." Fei Yuyan said to him.

"Okay." Yuan nodded, feeling quite excited about the competition.
