Chapter 296 The Qin Art Competition Begins

Ling Wanqing didn't overthink it. She needed to summarize her insights from this period and see if she could find any breakthroughs.

Ling Wanqing began to meditate and gain insights. By the time she opened her eyes, it was already the next morning.

Ling Wanqing stood up. The Qin cultivator Convention was about to begin today.

She was going to watch the competition with Su Yu and the others.

If Ling Wanqing wanted to participate in this kind of competition, first place would certainly be hers, but that wouldn't fit her identity.

Ling Wanqing would still watch from the sidelines and cheer, just like Su Yu and the others.

Ling Wanqing walked out of her room and found Su Yu waiting for her at her door, not having knocked.

Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu and said, "Let's go. We'll wait downstairs for Ke Qiao, then we can depart."

Su Yu nodded, "Mm, let's head down."

Su Yu looked at Ling Wanqing and asked, "How have you felt these past two days?"

Through his observations over the past two days, Su Yu could discern Ling Wanqing's general thoughts: she didn't want to attract attention or cause trouble.

She just wanted to be an ordinary person and do what she wanted to do.

Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu and said, "I've had a wonderful time these past few days. It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed. I don't have to worry about anything; you and Ke Qiao arranged everything from start to finish."

"Thank you both."

In Ling Wanqing's heart, having two ordinary friends like them was indeed very good.

"That's good then."

Ke Qiao was always the last to arrive, but he saw Su Yu and Ling Wanqing already chatting.

"What are you two talking about? I want to hear too!"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Nothing, just praising you."

"Tch, boring. I thought Miss Ling was going to introduce me to a beauty."

Ling Wanqing chuckled, "Perhaps there's a chance."

"Alright, let's hurry up and go. If we're late, we won't get good seats."

The three then headed to the venue where the Qin Convention was being held.

Along the way, they noticed that the number of vendors had increased, and various kinds of goods were now appearing.

After all, too many people were coming here today. Before the Musical Talent (Qin) Convention in Qin Yin Forest began, only Qin cultivators could enter.

Now that it had started, it was different. Many people who were interested but didn't play the Qin, and simply came to join the fun, were also present.

So, there were an exceptionally large number of people today.

Su Yu looked at the crowd, "There are so many people! The popularity of this convention might be even higher than we imagined."

Ke Qiao and Ling Wanqing also agreed.

Ke Qiao looked at the people around, "There are quite a lot of people from the Heavenly Maiden Sect. The Heavenly Maiden Sect is entirely composed of female cultivators, and naturally, many specialize in this."

"Moreover, the Heavenly Maiden Sect's Musical Talent (Qin) is quite formidable; several of them are quite famous."

"The champion of this competition might just be someone from the Heavenly Maiden Sect."

Ling Wanqing naturally knew the skilled Qin cultivators from the Heavenly Maiden Sect.

Many of them had been taught a bit of Musical Talent (Qin) by her in the past.

Although Ling Wanqing had some confidence in the people from their Sect, she said, "That's not necessarily true. Perhaps a dark horse will emerge."

Su Yu agreed, "That's right. We'll know then, and see if any masters appear."

Su Yu and the other two began to look for seats.

Those who came to watch the excitement were not allowed to go to the front seats; this was a privilege for Qin cultivators.

A considerable amount of space was specifically reserved for them to watch.

Su Yu and the other two quickly chose their seats. The location was decent, but not excellent.

The best seats had long been taken by those with strong power and connections, and would not be left for Su Yu and his companions.

The fact that Su Yu and his companions found this seat could be considered very good, and it also matched their current identities.

If Su Yu and his companions had chosen the best seats, it might have been troublesome for Su Yu, as it would certainly attract others' attention.

Overall, Su Yu was very satisfied with the current location.

Ling Wanqing also thought the same way; she didn't want to go to the best seats, as it would easily draw attention and might even invite trouble.

However, Ke Qiao didn't think so much. For Ke Qiao, it was fine to go to the good seats, and it was also fine to be here; he wasn't too particular.

As long as there was a seat, that was enough.

Ke Qiao looked around and at the convention's plaque, "It's about to begin. I wonder who will participate."

"Miss Wang and her three companions have participated."

"Even if we don't participate, we should still cheer them on."

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing knew that it would be difficult for them to achieve good rankings with their current skill level, but participation was what mattered. Perhaps they could gain some insights during the process, which would also be a good thing.

This convention had many competition venues, and where Su Yu and his companions currently were was one of the places where Wang Han and her three companions were competing.

As time passed, the competition quickly began.

Colorful specks of light bloomed in the sky, and beautiful melodies floated on the wind.

They enveloped everyone's ears.

Everyone was enchanted by the music.

After one piece, the person in charge of this venue also appeared.

"Hello everyone, and welcome to this Musical Talent (Qin) Convention! The opening of this convention has been truly lively and grander than we imagined."

"We have received your enthusiasm, and this competition will bring you the ultimate auditory enjoyment."

"Perhaps it will also bring you unexpected gains."

Without further ado, I declare the Musical Talent (Qin) Competition officially open!"

"Below is the list of contestants for this section; the contestants will enter shortly."

Su Yu looked at the names on the list; he had heard of some of them.

The Loose Cultivator Qin cultivator he had encountered at the teleportation array was also among them.

Ling Wanqing, on the other hand, saw several Disciples from her Heavenly Maiden Sect on the list.

She wondered how far they would be able to go.

Ke Qiao looked at the names of the four people on the list and also noticed the prominent names.

This was going to be tough; he hadn't expected them to encounter such strong opponents in the first round.

There were only ten spots in this round; he hoped some of them could get in.

This competition featured ten pieces of music, with one spot for each piece.

To advance, one had to achieve first place in one of them. This kind of competition was very brutal.

But it also proved the excellence of one's Musical Talent (Qin). Soon, the competitors entered the stage.

A wave of cheers erupted from the audience, with many shouting the names of those they supported.

Su Yu and his companions also saw Wang Han and her group.

Ke Qiao immediately shouted, "Go, you all! You must advance!"

The four looked towards Ke Qiao's direction, seeing Ke Qiao and his companions cheering them on.

They clenched their fists, making a gesture of victory.
