[Someone should learn what true humility looks like.]

The fans praised her, but unfortunately, Meng Xue’s dance didn’t attract much of an audience.

The villagers continued with their work, sparing only occasional glances.

Meng Xue felt a tinge of embarrassment but maintained her composure, “I’ve finished my performance.”

“I haven’t discussed it with Teacher Shen yet,” Yuan Heping said. “You young folks go ahead.”

Xu Jiannian turned with a warm and smiling voice, “Ms. Si, ladies first. If you need any help, I’ll be glad to assist.”

“No need, I don’t require any help.”

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Si Fuqing pulled out the instrument she had chosen earlier – a suona.

She skillfully placed the suona to her lips and began to play.

An exuberant and lively melody filled the air, overwhelming all other sounds and nearly piercing the heavens.

Listening closely, the song seemed to incorporate the chirping of various birds like partridges, swallows, orioles, and larks, miraculously coming together. It was the renowned suona piece, “The Birds Seeking the Phoenix.”

Everyone was astounded.

The director’s thermos once again hit the ground, his eyes seemed to be filled with hopelessness.

[Suona? What else can I say but impressive?]

[Just when I thought I was getting used to Si Fuqing, she completely shatters my mental fortitude.]

[The funeral instrument suona, this is indeed you, classic Si Fuqing.]

[That’s not the point! She played “The Birds Seeking the Phoenix”! This piece requires advanced suona techniques like glissando, finger trills, vibrato, bounce, and consecutive notes. All highly challenging! And she… she just played it effortlessly!]

The penetrating power of the suona indeed surpassed other instruments, echoing through the hills with this spirited song.

Villagers from all around emerged, looking towards the source of the sound in wonder.

Even the Supreme Elder atop the mountain heard it, he was slightly confused, “Who’s playing the suona?”

In front of him, Yu Xihe extended his hand, placing a black piece on the board, “A young girl. ”

The Supreme Elder was even more perplexed, barely managing to say, “This young lady, quite the lung capacity.”

“It is indeed impressive,” Yu Xihe said with a slight smile, “and quite cunning.” She knew how to use her strengths to soften others’ hearts.

The Supreme Elder, puzzled by this comment, tentatively asked, “Mr. Yu, shall we go and see?”

Yu Xiheng placed the last black piece, decisively defeating the white pieces, then stood up: “Let’s go.”

Attracted not only by humans, the suona’s “The Birds Seeking the Phoenix” truly drew the birds of the woods.

The Miracle Doctor Alliance, usually quiet except for weddings and funerals,

hadn’t heard the sound of a suona in a long time.

Soon, a large crowd tightly surrounded Si Fuqing and Ning Luoyao, clapping and cheering.

“Amazing! ”

“Play another! Young lady, it’s so festive.”

“This suona playing is much better than the troupe we had last time in our… village.”

“Never thought these celebrities could play suona. She’s down-to-earth, and the girl is pretty too. I’ll have my son look up her name.”

Without counting, Qi Shuning knew Si Fuqing had won again.

She pursed her lips, “The instrument of choice of someone in the same group as you is quite…”

Not saying the word ‘vulgar,’ she left it at that.

“Everyone has different tastes,” Meng Xue said, eyes narrowing meaningfully.

“She likes such instruments, but her method…”

She had underestimated the cultural level of the village.

She hadn’t expected that commonness could equate to elegance.

The villagers didn’t appreciate ancient dance but loved the suona.

And its high pitch was incomparable to other instruments.

After finishing her performance, Si Fuqing remained calm, even pointing to the birds circling in the sky, “Assistant director, these birds should count for me, right?”

…Yes,” the assistant director conceded.

No need to count; you’ve already overwhelmingly won!

The director felt an intense pain in his heart, struggling to continue.

Ning Luoyao, once again the victor without effort, looked confused for a moment, then clenched her fist with determination.

She resolved to share any good fortune with Qingqing first!

Successfully passing the first challenge, the eight of them continued their survival journey.

After an hour, Meng Xue felt fatigued.

Yet, Si Fuqing moved effortlessly, even carrying a slightly heat-stricken Ning Luoyao for a distance.

For the first time, Meng Xue frowned.

Having shared a dormitory abroad for two years, she knew all too well about Si Fuqing’s frail health.

The kind that gets winded running a hundred meters.ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

When did Si Fuqing’s survival skills become so outstanding, capable of carrying someone for such a distance?

Meng Xue faintly sensed something beyond her control.

Two hours later, they arrived at the next challenge.

“Here we are, the second challenge,” the assistant director said with a smile, “This time, your assessors aren’t me, but these guys. They want to play a game with you.”

Chi Yu finally looked up, “Play a game?”

Before them stood four computers.

The familiar screen displayed the game “Oracle.”

“Yes, play a game,” one of the youths said lazily. “You fight among yourselves first. The winner faces us. Beat us, and we’ll give you some herbs.” [I’m starting to think there’s something odd about this forest village…]

[Last time, a random elder’s calligraphy skills seemed to surpass Teacher Shen’s. Now, a random villager is an “Oracle” expert? I thought this place was backward, without even wifi?]

[Could this be some mysterious power hidden here?]

“Meng Xue, another challenge in your wheelhouse,” Chi Yu said with a rare smile. “Todav, we zet to see vou Dlav the bard again.”

Out of the eight, only Shen Xiuwen hadn’t played Oracle.

Even Yuan Heping had reached the diamond rank in the game’s arena.

This showed the widespread popularity of Oracle.

Ning Luoyao had played, but her focus was more on farming and building.

She sighed, “It’s over for us. We’ll end up in the worst room tonight. I’m no good at PvP.”

“Why panic?” Si Fuqing pressed her shoulder. “It’s just a game. I’ll carry you.”

She was ready to stand up and shine.

[??? Wife, please stop scaring me. I can’t handle much more.]

[It’s just a game? Si Fuqing, don’t make empty promises, okay? “Oracle” is an esports game, not some casual game you’re used to.]

[While all celebrities play “Oracle,” Meng Xue is clearly among those who excel at it.. Why embarrass yourself?]
