"Calm down? How can I calm down?!"
Feng Duo exclaimed excitedly, "I really thought the Music Department was going to be ruined under my watch just now. I never expected this was all part of your plan."
"Gu Luo, your suona performance was absolutely incredible!!!"
"You have no idea how the students and tourists in the audience looked—it’s beyond words!"
As she spoke, she glanced around and asked curiously, "Where’s Qu Meimei? I almost misunderstood her earlier."
"I never thought you two would reconcile!"
Gu Luo simply listened quietly.
From an outsider’s perspective, the twists and turns of the performance would naturally be seen as a deliberate arrangement, designed to deliver a more thrilling experience to the audience.
No one would ever guess that Qu Meimei had genuinely tried to sabotage the school anniversary performance, let alone imagine that Gu Luo had saved the day with his suona and delivered what could only be called a legendary performance.
Gu Luo chose not to expose Qu Meimei here, as he had other plans.
Instead, he changed the subject. "President, wouldn’t you say the Music Department’s performance at the school anniversary was outstanding? Shouldn’t we celebrate with a gathering?"
"Of course! Celebrating after a performance is a tradition in the Music Department." Feng Duo then added enthusiastically, "And this wasn’t just outstanding—it was historic! A milestone for the Music Department! From now on, whenever people talk about Guangya’s Music Department, they’ll remember today’s breathtaking performance!"
Luo Shuning walked over at that moment and stood beside Gu Luo.
Feng Duo was still a little confused about the relationship between Gu Luo, Luo Shuning, and Qu Meimei.
But since they seemed to have reconciled, she didn’t dwell on it.
To her, as long as the performance went smoothly, nothing else mattered.
Gu Luo exchanged a glance with Luo Shuning before asking Feng Duo softly, "President, is there anything you’d like to say to Shuning now?"
Hearing this, Feng Duo immediately stepped forward and linked arms with Luo Shuning, her face beaming. "Shuning, you were amazing!"
"From now on, the Music Department will be in your hands!"
Luo Shuning responded with nothing more than a polite smile, offering no concrete acknowledgment.
"Really, I’ve hinted at it before, but now I promise you—the position of the next Music Department president is yours." Thinking Luo Shuning might doubt her, Feng Duo quickly reaffirmed her assurance.
"Alright, President, that’s enough for now. We can discuss the rest at the gathering," Gu Luo said, unable to bear another word from Feng Duo. "Shuning and I have something to talk about, so we’ll take our leave."
"Yes, Gu Luo and I still have matters to discuss," Luo Shuning nodded in agreement.
"Fine then. I’ll post the gathering details in the group later."
Without another thought, Feng Duo released Luo Shuning’s arm.
Gu Luo and Luo Shuning then walked side by side out of the auditorium through the staff passageway.
Their steps were unhurried, their figures perfectly in sync.
Neither had any interest in watching the remaining performances. Right now, they just wanted to enjoy their time together.
"Finally, it’s over..."
Once outside, Luo Shuning stretched slightly, as if releasing all her exhaustion.
She turned to Gu Luo with a smile. "Brother, we owe this to you."
"It was so, so, so amazing!"
She knew full well that the piece Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix was Gu Luo’s original composition.
Her brother was a once-in-a-century genius!
Gu Luo smiled faintly before speaking with quiet seriousness.
"Shuning, this isn’t over yet."

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
