"Tan Songyun…" Yuan muttered in a low voice after Tian Kai's memories came to an end.
Although Tan Songyun did not know of his reason for leaving, Yuan did.
'If the Celestial Emperor hadn't found him, he would've definitely remained by her side for as long as possible…' he sighed inwardly.
Nonetheless, he was quite shocked to learn of Tian Kai's relationship with Tan Songyun, who would eventually become known as the Zither Goddess.
'Teacher and lover, huh? I wonder if she's still looking for me…' Yuan wondered as Li Luoyang's performance reached its end.
There were still many unanswered questions, such as how Tian Kai and the Zither Goddess met in the first place, as he was told that they didn't know each other by Song Ling'er.
He was told that the Zither Goddess had been born 25,000 years ago while the God of Music existed for millions of years.
What if Song Ling'er had been talking about a different God of Music? What if Tian Kai wasn't the God of Music like he'd originally thought? These are questions that won't be answered until he finds the Zither Goddess or regains more of Tian Kai's memories.
"Thank you all for coming here today to witness my performance. I will return next month and have hopefully improved my skills by then." Li Luoyang gave the audience a respectful bow, causing the place to erupt with cheering and encouragement.
At the end of her performance, the light in the room slowly returned, and the workers there would go from table to table asking for payment.
Coincidentally, Yuan's table was towards the exit, so Li Luoyang would be walking in his direction.
When Li Luoyang got close enough, Yuan subconsciously muttered, "For your first song, you should slow down a bit on the 51st, 88th, 109th, 171st, and 182nd note. Speed up on the 17th, 27th, 49th, 82nd, 122nd, and 251th note."
"Eh?" Li Luoyang halted her movements and glanced at Yuan with a shocked expression on her face.
Even without Yuan's advice, Li Luoyang knew that she had misplayed several notes, but he'd also mentioned notes that even she didn't realize she had messed up. Her performance was nothing short of perfect to the audience and she's never received any complaints before, much less being corrected on a song that only she should know how to play, so one could imagine the surprise on her face.
'H-How does he…? It's not as though I play 'The Old Dream' often, either!'
And before she could respond, Yuan continued, "You're the Zither Goddess' disciple, aren't you? If you have some time later, I would love to have a chat with you."
It wasn't a secret that Li Luoyang had received guidance from the Zither Goddess, as it was part of her advertisement campaign, but with the way he spoke, Yuan made it sound like he didn't know before today.
"Do you know my master?" Li Luoyang couldn't help but ask him.
He nodded, "Somewhat."
