Chapter 517 Approaching the Stage

After making sure that she had everything, she left the building and took a taxi to Xia Jingyi’s living quarters, not even bothering to use her family limousine.

"Good morning, Yu Rou." Xia Jingyi greeted her at the door.

"Morning, Jingyi. Are you ready?"

"Yes, I am."

Yu Rou looked at her watch; it was 9 AM.

"We should arrive at the location my brother provided in 30 minutes. I wonder what he had planned for us."

"If you’re really curious, you can look that place up and see if there are any events." Xia Jingyi suggested.

However, Yu Rou shook her head and said, "That’s no good. My brother wanted to surprise me, so I will let him surprise me. It would no longer be a surprise if I know what to expect."

Xia Jingyi nodded, and after saying her goodbyes to her parents, she entered her family’s limousine with Yu Rou.

"Please take care of our daughter, Yu Rou." Xia Jingyi’s parents said to Yu Rou.

"Of course. I will make sure nothing happens to her! I should also take this chance to thank you for letting my brother stay in your apartments." Yu Rou patted her chest with a confident smile.

"You don’t have to thank us. If anything, we should be the ones apologizing for allowing that incident to occur. We’ll make sure to increase security in that apartment."

Yu Rou nodded, and she entered the car with Xia Jingyi while the driver packed their suitcases inside the car trunk.

Once they were prepared, the limousine began driving towards the location given by Yuan.

Meanwhile, Yuan and Meixiu approached the reception inside a large building.

"Hello, we’re here to participate in the contest," Meixiu said to the receptionist, who was a little startled when she saw their appearance, as both of them were wearing masks.

"W-What is the name of the participant?" The receptionist then asked.

"Tian Yang of Divine Melody," she said.

"Please give me a moment to look through the system."

"I have confirmed your registration. I will check you in now. You will be called onto the stage at 10 AM. Here’s your identification card. You can wait in the spectator area or wait in the back room."

After accepting his identification card, Yuan and Meixiu proceeded to the spectators’ area, where hundreds of spectators were watching the current contestant playing the piano.

"It’s been too long... I am starting to feel a little nervous..." Yuan said with a smile behind his mask.

"You’ll be fine," Meixiu said.

The two of them proceeded to watch contestants take their turns at the piano, and because of their masks, they attracted quite the attention from the people around them.

Though, since masks weren’t prohibited, nobody really approached them.

Around 9:40 AM, Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi pulled up at the location and left the car.

"This is..." Yu Rou looked at the large banner hanging above the building and immediately knew what was going on.

"It’s a music contest... Why did your brother tell us to come here?" Xia Jingyi asked, as she wasn’t aware of his recovery.

Yu Rou merely showed a gentle smile on her face, and she said, "Who knows. Let’s go inside."

Upon reaching the receptionist, before they could even speak, the receptionist behind the desk recognized Yu Rou’s face and spoke in an excited voice, "Aren’t you Lady Yu Rou?! What are you doing here?!"

The people around them heard the name ’Yu Rou’ and turned to look in their direction with interest.

"Yu Rou?! That music genius who won many international competitions?!"

"Hello, I am here to spectate the contest." Yu Rou said with a friendly smile on her face.

Because of her background, she was very famous within the music industry, hence why the receptionist immediately recognized her.

"S-Spectate the contest?" The receptionist was taken by surprise by her words.

Why would someone famous like Yu Rou come to witness some small music competition? It didn’t make sense. After all, there was nobody famous playing today.

However, the receptionist didn’t question her and quickly said, "Of course! Please follow me to the VIP seats."

The receptionist then led Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi to the VIP seats that were in front of the stage.

Their presence quickly attracted the spectators there, and even the contestant was affected by their presence.

"Isn’t that Yu Rou from the Yu Family? What’s a bigshot like her doing here?"

"Who knows... Maybe she’s bored?"

"Speaking of Yu Rou, I was there to witness her last performance, and it was beyond amazing. I wonder when she’ll do another performance. It’s been a while since she performed, too."

The quiet spectators’ area turned a little noisy with Yu Rou’s appearance, and although Xia Jingyi wasn’t as famous as Yu Rou, there were some people who recognized her there.

Time passed quickly.

The time was 10:05 AM.

"Our next contestant will be from the Divine Melody. Please welcome Tian Yang." The speakers announced after the last contestant got off the stage.

"Divine Melody? What company is that? I have never heard of them."

"Me neither. I also don’t know of any Tian Yang. Perhaps it’s a new company."

"Haha... Who would create a new music company at this time? They should’ve started a cultivation faction instead!"

Although it seemed like there was nobody interested in this unknown contestant, if one looked at Yu Rou’s face right now, they would see pure excitement and anticipation.

A few moments later, the spectators there could see a figure wearing a black mask slowly approaching the stage from the spectators’ area, and there was this unfathomable aura him that made the people there stop talking to focus on him.
