Chapter 320: Overwhelming Supporters

After Ke Qiao's match ended, he found Su Yu and Ling Wanqing.

Ke Qiao looked at Su Yu. "It seems things ended smoothly on your side as well."

Su Yu nodded.

Seeing this, Ke Qiao said, "Then we might as well go and watch the performances of others elsewhere."

"It can be considered scouting the enemy; who knows, we might even see the Musical Talent of our next opponents."

In the time that followed, Su Yu and Ke Qiao kept shuttling between these locations, going wherever the situation seemed different to watch.

They paid special attention to those who were exceptional, trying to see just how large the gap between themselves and those individuals really was.

It did not take long for the first round of the competition to end.

And immediately after, the matchup list for the second group was announced.

Su Yu and his companions arrived at the place where they had previously viewed the list.

There were clearly far fewer people now, and those present were basically all contestants who had won in the first round.

Ke Qiao looked around. "The further we go, the stronger the opponents become. It's just a pity that we didn't get to see that duo's match; we arrived a bit late."

The light of the Spirit Screen emerged once again, and the list for the new round continuously appeared on it.

The number of people was not as high this time, and the time required was relatively less as well.

Su Yu looked at his opponents' names. It was the same as before; they were not a famous duo, but Su Yu recognized them.

Su Yu had some impression of them. Ling Wanqing spoke up, "Aren't they from our group? We've already seen their match, and as far as we are concerned, their strength is no match for us."

Su Yu's opponents, of course, also recognized Su Yu and Ling Wanqing. They had been present for the two's performance and understood how large the gap between them was.

The two sighed; it seemed their luck had run out.

The names of Ke Qiao and Si Yin's opponents also appeared. Although they were not famous, there was no information about them for the time being, so Ke Qiao would have to go and inquire about them later.

Ke Qiao looked at Su Yu and Ling Wanqing. "Since you already know the information about your opponents, Brother Su, I will just go find the information on my two opponents."

"Wait for me at the usual place." Having said that, Ke Qiao vanished from where he stood.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing arrived at the Qin Building, and Su Yu ordered some dishes.

By the time Ke Qiao returned, the food would almost be served.

Si Yin asked Ling Wanqing about some matters regarding the competition, as well as what piece they had played.

Soon, Ke Qiao returned.

"Sorry for the wait, I have already gathered information on those two."

"How should I put it? They are actually similar to our first-round opponents, perhaps slightly stronger."

"But it shouldn't be a problem. It seems there is truly a chance for us to meet."

After gathering, Ke Qiao and Si Yin left. They prepared to go practice some more and play a few more pieces, as they might come in handy tomorrow.

Su Yu arrived by a small stream, where many glowing specks of light were drifting above the water.

Su Yu found a spot and sat down.

Ling Wanqing came over and sat down opposite Su Yu.

Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu. Regarding Su Yu's personality, the two could be said to have known each other for many years.

Ling Wanqing understood him quite well; he was someone who truly enjoyed the little details in life.

He would not let a single event disrupt the original rhythm of his life, and Ling Wanqing sometimes quite admired this mindset of Su Yu's.

It was precisely because of this that Ling Wanqing rarely saw Su Yu flustered or the like.

Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu. If Su Yu had higher talent, perhaps the person before her would have achieved significant accomplishments by now.

He would have gone much further on the path of the Dao of the Zither. Talent had restricted him, making him relatively ordinary and unremarkable.

But it was precisely because of this that the two became friends. If Su Yu had outstanding talent, they would certainly not be sitting here chatting, participating in these Qin Gatherings, and exploring Secret Realms like this.

It could be said that there was some Karma involved in everything, but Ling Wanqing felt that this was quite good. She had also gained some different insights from Su Yu.

In a way, Su Yu also deserved credit for her being able to Breakthrough to the Realm of the Zither Domain so quickly back then.

Su Yu wandered around for a while afterwards, and then practiced a little with Ling Wanqing.

Early the next morning, after bidding farewell to Ke Qiao, Su Yu and Ling Wanqing headed to the competition venue.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing arrived at the pavilion, and as usual, brewed a pot of tea. This time, their match was much earlier than before.

It wouldn't be long before it was their turn.

As their names were called out, Su Yu and Ling Wanqing took the stage.

The result for the two this time was, one could say, without any suspense. Their opponents were not strong, and after one piece ended, Su Yu and his partner successfully secured victory in this match.

After Su Yu won the match, he estimated that it wouldn't be long before he was eliminated.

He couldn't perform too well; otherwise, he might gain a bit of fame.

After Su Yu's match ended, they did not leave but instead stayed in the pavilion.

Because those two were right here in their location, and Ke Qiao had told them they would come to Su Yu's place after their match ended.

Su Yu looked at the two people in the pavilion over there; they were the two most popular participants in this Qin Gathering.

Indeed, the strength of those two was unrivaled in this Qin Gathering; if nothing unexpected happened, the first place would be theirs.

Their placement was quite late, so Ke Qiao and Si Yin should still have time.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing did not wait long before Ke Qiao and Si Yin arrived at their side.

Ke Qiao looked at Su Yu and Ling Wanqing. "We won on our side too. It feels like everyone who has survived now has real strength, and the probability of encountering experts is getting higher and higher."

"By the way, has that person's match started yet?"

Su Yu shook his head. "No, it will still take some time."

"That's good. Let's see just how strong this duo really is."

Su Yu said, "I estimate that they won't show their full strength right now, but it will still have reference value."

The three nodded in agreement.

As time passed, the two finally arrived on the zither stage. The moment they appeared, they triggered countless cheers.

The atmosphere of the Qin Gathering instantly reached a climax.

Especially the woman; her supporters were overwhelmingly numerous.

Seeing this scene, Ke Qiao said, "They really have a lot of supporters, but most of them are here for that woman."

The two who had taken the stage waved to the audience, which made the audience even more enthusiastic.

At this moment, Ke Qiao suddenly began to put himself in the perspective of those two looking at each other.

"If we were those two, I dare not imagine how much pressure there would be in that scene."
