As it was already Yan Mingzhu's turn, the stage lit up as everyone waited for the arrival of the next performer.
However, there was something happing backstage. People wondered what was happening as they started to get bored. A few moments later, another student came forward as he started to perform.
Jun Tianyun's eyebrows furrowed when he saw the scene. " What happened? Shouldn't it be Mingzhu's turn?"
Zi Yanrou thought as she replied. " Perhaps the next one is going to be Yan Mingzhu's. Let's wait…"
However, that wasn't the case. The next performance wasn't Yan Mingzhu's.
Jun Tianyun got up as he looked backstage. " I think something happened. Let's go and check there."
Zi Yanrou nodded as she and Jun Tianyun walked backstage. As they neared, they saw a small crowd formed there.
Jun Tianyun and Zi Yanrou hurried as they suddenly heard Yan Mingzhu's sobs.
" Damn it! Mingzhu! What happened!"
Zi Yanrou's expression changed as she rushed forward. They saw Yan Mingzhu sitting on the ground as she trembled.
" I… I can't move! I don't know what is happening! I am feeling dizzy and…"
" Someone! Tie her wound! We must not let the blood flow!"
" Ma'am, Something is wrong! Her blood isn't clotting! It is just flowing!"
" Hey! Who are you?" A person noticed Zi Yanrou as he shouted. However, Zi Yanrou dashed forward as she hugged Yan Mingzhu.
" Uwahh! Sister Yanrou…"
" Mingzhu?! Dear, What happened?"
Zi Yanrou saw a deep gust of wound on her right palm as she frowned.
" I… I was just checking the piano and I thought I should adjust the keys. However, as I was using it, a knife suddenly jumped from the keys as it cut my right hand." Yan Mingzhu sobbed.
" I… Not only that. I… I can't even move my body. I feel like I got…paralyzed."
" This, Miss, are you her guardian? I think we should call an ambulance." The teacher looked at Zi Yanrou as she spoke.
" Move, She is poisoned."
A frigid tone rang out as everyone turned their head and looked at Jun Tianyun. Jun Tianyun approached Yan Mingzhu as he squatted before her.
" Mingzhu, Don't be scared, ok?" Jun Tianyun smiled. " You are going to perform tonight. So, be at ease. I will help you…"
The teacher frowned when she heard that. " Are you also Yan Mingzhu's guardian? Can't you see her condition? She needs treatme-"
" Shut…up!"
Jun Tianyun only cast a side glance as his tone was icy. Everyone standing there couldn't help but feel a spine chilling shiver when they heard Jun Tianyun. They felt like their hair going to stand on its end out of horror.
"Yan Mingzhu smiled weakly. " Of course, I believe in Elder Brother. You have cured me before. You can also cure me now…"
" Stay like that, ok?" Jun Tianyun took out his acupuncture needles he chose the jade needles. The needles floated as Jun Tianyun rapidly inserted tens of them in Yan Mingzhu's arm.
Yan Mingzhu winced in pain as the needles got into her arm. However, Jun Tianyun was focused as he channeled his mana in her arm.
Soon, the palm on her hand started to ooze out drops of black blood.
" You! Do you have any sort of certification? How can you perform such acupuncture on someone without any precaution!" The teacher shouted.
Jun Tianyun nodded as he saw there was no more black blood remaining. " I have forced the poison out of your body. Now, I will heal your wound, ok?"
Jun Tianyun took out the Recovery Potion and poured it on her hand. However, he secretly used the Wood Qi of his chaotic flower in his dantian.
Wood Qi oozed out from his palm as a soft green light entered Yan Mingzhu's palm.
Everyone's eyes turned wide when they saw the next scene.
Yan Mingzhu's wound, which wasn't closing earlier, suddenly closed. The blood stopped leaking as Jun Tianyun wiped the remaining blood.
" What the… What sort of medicine was that?"
" Damn it, Is that some High class medicine from ancient families?"
" Miraculous!"
Soon, her wound dried and Yan Mingzhu was surprised. " I… I can move again. Not to mention, I don't feel any pain."
Yan Minzghu teared up as she hugged Jun Tianyun and Zi Yanrou.
" Hey, It's alright. Mingzhu, We are all with you." Zi Yanrou patted her as she also hugged Yan Mingzhu tightly.
" Someone laced a type of Blood Paralysis Poison on the knife. The knife not only gave a deep wound to Yan Mingzhu's right palm, but it also poisoned her, making her paralyzed temporarily." Jun Tianyun spoke.
" Thankfully, the amount was low. It only made her paralysis." Jun Tianyun sighed. " However, shouldn't the school committee give an explanation regarding this?"
Everyone around Jun Tianyun turned silent as he continued speaking. Jun Tianyun calmed his cold eyes as he looked at Yan Mingzhu.
" Yan Mingzhu, Go and perform. You are going to perform, right?" Jun Tianyun smiled.
Unlike before, it was a warm and friendly smile. The crowd couldn't but get shocked when they saw Jun Tianyun's change in attitude.
" Let her finish the performance. I will deal with you guys later." Jun tianyun snorted as he led Yan Mingzhu away.
" Don't worry, Brother Jun. It will be the best performance you will see." Yan Mingzhu spoke in a determined tone. " I will get the first prize!"
" Haha! Good! Go ahead and show them!" Zi Yanrou clapped when she heard Yan Mingzhu.
The stage dimmed as the spotlight fell on Yan Mingzhu. She sat before the piano and took a deep breath.
Her fingers moved as she started to play the piano.
The crowd turned silent when the notes of the piano slowly started to drift in the air.
It was an incomparably sweet melody. It was a unique theme, one people never heard before.
It invoked the sweet, happy memories of the listeners. They felt like they returned to their childhood, playing with their friends in the field.
A smile spread on Jun Tianyun's lips when he heard the tune. He recognized it easily as he was the one who taught Yan Mingzhu.
" Wow, Did you teach her that?" Zi Yanrou became surprised when she heard Yan Mingzhu's song.
" But I have to admit. Her talent in music is really terrifying."
Jun Tianyun only smiled as Yan Mingzhu continued her performance.
The tone rose and rose before it fell into a lovely lower note, signifying the end of the song.
Yan Mingzhu took a deep breath as she stood up, giving a bow. The crowd remained silent for a while before someone stood up and started clapping.
Soon, everyone followed his suit as everyone stood up and started applauding. The entire field was filled with thunderous applause and cheerings.
Yan Mingzhu gave a bow as she returned. However, the applause kept going for a while.
After Yan Mingzhu's impactful music, everyone felt the next performances were pretty…tasteless.
As the ceremony was over, the host came up with a middle-aged man.
" So, Tonight, An esteemed guest of classical music is present between us. Please, Welcome Mr. Hu Yazi!"
" What? Hu Yazi? Isn't he the famous International Classical Musician?"
" Yeah, He also won some awards in the past I remember."
" Mm, I actually love his songs. Whenever he does a live concert, his tickets get sold very fast."
Hu Yazi stood as he took the mic. " Well, Greetings, Everyone. Today's evening certainly has been a delight."
" Among all of these spectacular performances, there was only one who stood proudly among them." Hu Yazi spoke.
" Please! Big applause to Miss Yan Mingzhu! She gave us a spectacular performance tonight! I am sure all of you believe that she is the one who deserves the first prize!"
" Yay! Brother Jun! Did you hear? I got the first prize!" Yan Mingzhu jumped for joy as she stood up.
"Hehe, Congrats, Mingzhu. Now, hurry up and go. The prize is waiting for you!"
Zi Yanrou laughed as she rubbed Yan Mingzhu's head. Yan Mingzhu stood as she walked toward the stage. Everyone applauded as Yan Mingzhu stood beside Hu Yazi.
" First of all, I thank you all of your to see me worthy oft he first prize." Yan Mingzhu gave a polite nod. Hu Yazi looked at Yan Mingzhu as he smiled.
" Actually, I have a proposal for you." Hu Yazi looked at Yan Mingzhu. " How about you be my apprentice? I can see you have the potential. Would you like to come under my mentorship?"
" Whoa! Can you see that? Mr. Hu Yazi giving her invitation!"
" Man, She is so lucky! If it was me, I would have accepted already."
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Yan Mingzhu refused.
" I am thankful from my heart that Elder Hu gave me such a proposal. However, I am afraid I can't agree to this." Yan Mingzhu smiled.
" Because My Elder Brother is enough for me."
The crowd turned silent when they heard Yan Mingzhu's replies.
" She refused! She actually refused!"
" Damn, Who is his elder brother? Did she really reject Elder Hu for him?"
Hu Yazi's eyes narrowed when he heard that. The teacher beside Yan Mingzhu also nodded, " Mingzhu, I think you should think about it. What Elder Hu is saying is beneficial to you."
Yan Mingzhu shook her head. " I am afraid, Teacher. But I can't agree to it."
" Hoho, Is that so?" Hu Yazi nodded. " Well, Since your elder brother taught you, I am also curious to see what sort of talent he is."
" Yan Mingzhu's elder brother, Can you come to the stage?"
Jun Tianyun sighed as he and Zi Yanrou looked at each other.
" Well, Here we go again…"

After a while, The trio returned to the villa. Yan Mingzhu grinned as she looked at Jun Tianyun.
" Brother Jun, Was it necessary to go to that extend?"
Zi Yanrou chuckled as she looked at Jun Tianyun. " You are talking like you don't know him. He always likes to overdo things."
" Heh…"
Jun Tianyun gave a wry smile as he drove the car. He already knew tomorrow's news headline.
" Oh, Well…"
